Chapter 220: 'Hypocrisy'

Like a sculpture, the goddess of wealth sat quietly in her place, watching the clergy who believed in her own body flutter in front of her.

She doesn't need to help, because that's their job, and as a deity, she now 'just sits' here, and she just needs to sit here to give them courage.

The atmosphere in the chapel seemed a little dull, there was much less communication between the clergy, there were many fewer smiles on their faces, everyone was doing things silently, looking at this scene, the goddess of wealth couldn't help but purse her lips.

In the past, the atmosphere of the chapel was not lively, but it was not solemn, and there were still many worshippers who came to worship at that time, but now it is ...... Now there are also many believers who have gathered outside the door, and with suspicion and trepidation, they ask the pastor who received them what is going on.

Pastors at the grassroots level don't know what is going on themselves, and how can they answer other people's questions?

When they faced the crowd in front of them, they said that they didn't know anything, and they were greeted not with the curses they imagined, but with a look of disappointment and unease, and the uneasy crowd dispersed after getting an answer, and not many people chose to stay in front of the door of the Temple of Wealth.

Gordon is still the holy city of the Goddess of Wealth, and this scene happened in front of the Temple of Wealth, when the crowd gathered, she already knew about it.

She saw this from the beginning to the end, and after reading it, her heart was a little cold.

Should she say, 'Believers are more sensible,' or should she say, 'Their faith is not strong.'"

It may seem like no one is questioning her decision, but it's also likely that they don't care if 'Gordon' is the holy city of the Church of Fortune because it doesn't matter to them......

Thinking of this, the goddess of wealth is a little melancholy.

So after so many years, she has failed so much?

Her true body was still on the side of the Grim Wind Leader, but now that she had transferred most of her consciousness to this side, it was impossible for her to reveal that her current body in Gordon was not 'real', because that would make her followers think that their goddess had abandoned them from the beginning......

But isn't she abandoning them by doing this now? I think they must be disappointed now, right?

No one presses her to tell the truth, no one pays attention to the truth, and in their eyes, the only thing that is probably 'she abandoned them' is now the only thing that is.

The goddess of wealth thought so and refused to accept the fact that her followers were not actually religious.

As a qualified deity, most of the time the goddess of wealth will not use her own will to influence others, she is just 'following the good temptation', to teach people how to accumulate wealth to support themselves, robbery, kidnapping this is not advisable, because it will affect all aspects, it is likely to affect the trade of others, sometimes a trade route is destroyed by a group of robbers, so she never advocates the use of plundering means to accumulate wealth.

But in the face of this society where most of the wealth is in the hands of the aristocracy, her 'resistance' is very weak, because she has not compromised, so her influence among the nobility is not great, and her bad relationship with the nobility has affected her relationship with the noble goddess.

In this society, if you want to climb up, it is not enough to have money, you must also have an identity – one that is at least a 'Lord of Honor'.

Because 'no windfall is not rich', there are not many people who are willing to do business in a down-to-earth manner, but there are not many of them, they are willing to believe in the goddess of wealth, but most businessmen still think about how to make a lot of money while getting a noble identity.

These businessmen don't care if Gordon is still the holy city of the Church of Wealth, they are opportunistic and they care about whether they can still make a lot of money.

And there are even fewer civilians who devoutly believe in the goddess of wealth, because they have no channels to make money, they work numbly every day, and the goddess of wealth has never given them a trace of mercy.

Looking at the people outside the temple gate, the goddess of wealth clenched her fists invisibly, having lived for nearly nine hundred years, she thought that she had long been accustomed to seeing the coldness of people's hearts, but only now did she understand what Serra meant by the phrase 'the heart is not enough to swallow an elephant'.

Those who believe in her can get a little increase in their financial luck, which is not obvious, but it can definitely make them money, at least they can do business failure without losing too much.

However, what more people want is to 'get rich' and 'make a lot of money', and it is not uncommon for this increase in fortune to increase.

But how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

The goddess of wealth realized that she had been doing wrong for so many years, and if it weren't for this 'disaster', she might not have found out that she was so wrong......

"Goddess-sama, goddess-sama......"

Suddenly there was a pretentious cry outside the gate, and anyone who heard it felt crooked.

A richly dressed middle-aged fat man dressed in gold and silver made his guards clear the crowd, and was supported by two young and beautiful court ladies to walk up the steps in front of the temple and step into the temple.

As he walked, he still howled: "Goddess, goddess!"

When the busy priests in the temple saw the middle-aged fat man, they all secretly snorted, just because the fat man didn't have any sincerity on his face, and he liked to pretend.

If it was someone else, in the temple, in front of the goddess, they would scold and scold, but this dead fat man, they couldn't scold.

Because he is the 'king' of this generation voted by the Federal Assembly - Wade Francis!

This dead fat man who has no acting skills and laughs very fake is their 'king', the 'monarch' of all the nobles of the Moore Merchant Federation.

"What are you doing?!"

There was another shout from outside the door, drawing the attention of the clergy, and a single glance made them furious.

The King's guards tried to wrest control of the gate from the temple guards, shouting, "For the safety of His Majesty, we must close the gate!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

A composer came out of the crowd and glared at Wade Francis, "Mortals to mortals, gods to gods - this is the earthly dwelling place of my lord, why dare your men be so presumptuous!"

Speaking of this, Wade cried to the goddess of wealth about his 'grievances', "Goddess, this is not what I want to do, but just last night, I was assassinated......! I'm sorry to disturb you, but can you get them to close the door? I, I'm so scared!"

Looking at Wade, the goddess of wealth sighed, "Wade, when did you start to become so stupid?"

The king's guards heard this as they fought with the temple guards for control of the gate, and couldn't help but glance at the goddess of wealth with their spare eyes.

"I ......," Wade sighed, "probably after becoming the 'king', but Goddess, I can't help it, and I can't think of any other way to avoid those killers." ”

The Goddess of Fortune took a deep breath and bit her lower lip, "Then Wade, what are you coming to me for this time? Since you became this 'king', you have come to this temple less often, it's not that there is something, you won't come to me, what is it for this time?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I did have something to do with you this time......"

As if he didn't understand the sarcasm in the words of the goddess of wealth, Wade said with a hypocritical sweet smile: "I hope you can stay and don't go to any sad wind collar!"

"Really!" Wade blinked, "I really want you to stay!"
