It is said that Zhuo'er's faith is fanatical and mad.
It's hard to say whether this is right or wrong, but Li Aili could see that the friendship between the Zhuoer and the Zhuoer priest was entirely built on real money.
Once they've received the money, these drow priests will immediately turn on you, becoming cold and ruthless.
With a large amount of gold coins and a grand 'business blueprint', Li Aili obtained a 'business protection certificate' bearing the spider emblem.
Although young master Vince Leigh coveted Li Ai Li's gold coins, his position as the second priest's first male attendant was currently in jeopardy. His immediate priority was to quickly win favor, whisper sweet nothings in her ear, and kill the 'wild fairy' who was trying to usurp his position.
Li Aili calmly rolled up the 'Business Assurance Letter' and stuffed it into her spatial ring. Turning to the priestly attendant who had led the way, she said:
“My lord, this is my first time at the temple. Please forgive me for our shared fervent faith in Her Majesty the Queen.” She spoke without any hesitation.
"We sincerely wish to have a more comprehensive view of His Majesty's temple."
The priestly attendant who was responsible for leading them away had just witnessed Li Aili's extravagance in the temple of the second priest.
The priest's eyes narrowed sharply. "Blasphemy! Is the temple a place for you to wander around aimlessly?"
Li Aili: "..."
She mentally translated the words according to Zhuo'er's 'custom': No, you have to pay more.
Li Aili leaned closer and, under the cover of her long black sleeves, quietly slipped bulging bags of gold coins into her pocket.
Of course, to avoid being treated like a victim of a scam (like a certain young master who amassed gold coins all the way), Li Aili also 'sincerely' wrote an IOU.
"I have given almost all of the gold coins I brought to Her Majesty the Queen. This is all I have left, but this reward is far too little."
"Here's what we'll do: I'll give you an IOU, and we'll pay you the promised gold coins when we come back with the goods next time."
The priest's servant glanced down at it seemingly indifferently, then was stunned by the string of zeros written on it.
With a "clatter," the priest's servant first secretly weighed the money bag in his hand, then smiled with satisfaction. He then carefully put away... the IOU.
But the cunning Drow priests' servants never act without first realizing the benefits.
“Of course, Her Majesty the Queen never turns away a lost child.” The priestly attendant wore a professional clergyman’s smile. “The temple is always open to devout believers.”
But then they turned around and sold off Li Aili, the businesswoman who had been 'squeezed dry'.
The priest's attendant casually pointed to a servant of the gods and asked her to lead the two merchants to look around the temple in a place that wouldn't be in the way.
Then, this priestly attendant, displaying the excellent qualities of the Drow, took his share and then handed Li Aili over to a low-ranking temple servant.
"Take them to visit the temple at your leisure."
"I don't need to tell you which places you can go and which you can't, do I?" the second priest's attendant warned the lower-ranking servant in a low voice.
The lowly servant of the god was filled with trepidation, "Yes, yes, Lady Fura."
A bubble appeared above the head of a low-ranking divine servant: [These two don't seem like important figures, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to check out the servants' quarters and then sent them away so quickly...]
Of course, Ellie wouldn't leave like this before meeting up with Arthur.
Just as the lowly servant was plotting how to get rid of the two 'troublemakers' behind her, a bag of gold coins was suddenly stuffed into her hand with a clatter.
Low-ranking divine servant: "..."
"Could you show us around the temple properly?" Li Aili asked devoutly.
"Of course, after fulfilling this small wish, we will also offer generous rewards," Li Aili said, throwing out a sweet bait.
...
Even after Arthur infiltrated the enemy ranks, Ellie wasn't entirely without worry.
She couldn't help but imagine many terrible possibilities, such as whether the Drow priests of the temple were so enthusiastic that the Duke, who was used to solving problems with force, would be unable to resist 'flipping the table'.
Or perhaps, Arthur is discovered by the Spider Queen, Rose...
But the reality is always more 'terrifying' than expected.
"Damn it, you bitch! What are you doing here, Vilia?!"
In front of an inconspicuous house, several priestly attendants dressed in black robes crowded at the doorway.
"What are you doing here, you slut, Derek?" The last laugh was full of sarcasm.
I'm passing this message on to you verbatim!
In just a few words, the conflict between the priests and attendants escalated from verbal to physical.
"What is this?" Li Aili wondered if this was really the Spider Temple.
Good heavens, pulling each other's hair in the Spider Temple, aren't they afraid that the petty Spider Queen Rose will punish them each with a 'Divine Punishment Palm Lightning'?
The low-ranking divine servant leading the way had stopped, glanced at the scene from afar, and whispered, "This place was originally where 'sacrifices' were imprisoned..."
"However, last time the temple guards brought back someone who was exceptionally beautiful."
"It's not like these adults started coming here every day after they saw it, and they'd start fighting whenever they bumped into someone..."
Li Aili: "…………" She had a bad feeling.
Looking outside, they saw that the sacrificial servants were already engaged in a fierce 'duel', like wolves and tigers.
Then, a loud 'bang' came from inside the house.
It looked like something had been slammed hard against the door.
The loud shattering sound vividly expressed the feelings of the homeowner inside the house.
The sacrificial servants outside, fighting amongst themselves, looked as if they had been frozen into ice sculptures by an ice potion.
But after a brief moment of stiffness, the drow elves quickly straightened their hair, then rushed toward the door at the same time, and finally swarmed inside.
Li Aili broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
Undysani asked uncertainly and cryptically, "Could it be... the one I'm thinking of inside?" That terrible duke...?
If it really is her petty husband inside... she doesn't even dare to think about how she'll be 'punished' when she gets home after this is all over.
While Li Aili was hesitating.
With a loud bang, a dark figure flew out of the house window.
To be precise, it was the priestly servant who had rushed in who was kicked out and then slammed against the wall opposite the house with a "bang".
The temple guards at the main gate were unfazed, and simply sent someone over to check with obvious disdain whether the priestly attendant was dead or not.
Li Aili: "..."
Wendy Shane: "…………"
Looking at the priestly servants who couldn't be fastened off, Wendy Shane pondered seriously: Did His Excellency the Duke misunderstand the phrase "Don't be discovered by the Spider Queen Rose"?
Li Aili glanced at the broken window, then at the person 'embedded' in the wall, turned her toes in a different direction, and pulled Wendy Shani to run.
Then she heard a chilling voice behind her, "You dare—"
The Duke stood in the doorway, staring at the culprit who had been driving him to the brink of madness these past two days—his heartless little wife—and spat out a few words through his back teeth, “Try it.”
Li Aili: "..." It's all over.
