Chapter 110 Sacrificial Square
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "How about I show you around our country? Also, tomorrow is the annual sacrificial ceremony, which you envoys can observe!"
Hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the others nodded in agreement.
“Okay, we brought a lot of things with us this time, and they’re things you don’t have here. You can take a look at them later, but we need a fairly large open space.”
Upon hearing this, Atlas was somewhat curious, wondering what the envoy had brought that required such a large space. After a moment's thought, he replied:
“Messenger, a larger open space, such as the sacrificial plaza, would be more suitable. Please follow me!” After saying this, he led the way.
Along the way, the priest and Atlas introduced their country to them, and Gu Xinyan listened very attentively. She had originally thought that the sacrificial square was inside the castle, but she did not expect it to be outside the castle.
They arrived in a hurry and didn't land through the main gate of the castle, but rather in the back garden.
Upon seeing the main gate of the castle, the group was somewhat awestruck, as the main gate was indeed majestic and magnificent.
The massive gate is adorned with intricate and exquisite carvings, and the entire gate is painted gold, reflecting a dazzling light when the sunlight shines down.
On one side of the main gate of the castle is the sacrificial square, which is very spacious and can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
Moreover, the square is paved with pure white marble, each piece of which has been carefully polished and is so smooth that it can be used as a mirror.
In the center of the sacrificial plaza stands a golden stone statue with a human torso and a fish tail, wearing a magnificent crown with blue gemstones casually inlaid in it. In the statue's hand, it holds a huge trident. If there is no doubt, this should be the sea god they worship.
Looking at the huge golden stone statue, Gu Xinyan and the others couldn't help but marvel at the skill of the people here. The statue was sculpted so lifelike that it seemed ready to come to life at any moment.
Around the stone statue, a very large altar has been set up, with many offerings on it.
Meanwhile, many people were coming over in groups, chatting and laughing as they placed the offerings they had brought on the altar.
Seeing the happy expressions on their faces, Gu Xinyan realized that the priests had not told the people the truth.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have these expressions right now. But it's better this way; it would cause widespread panic if it were revealed, so it's better to keep it from these people.
“Envoy, do you think this place is suitable? This is the largest place in our country,” Atlas asked, pointing towards the altar.
Gu Xinyan: "........."
Well, I guess her expression wasn't clear enough, which made him mistakenly think that she needed a very large space. But looking at the altar in front of her, she was quite satisfied.
After all, one side of the altar is the town where the people live, and the other side is the castle. The location is quite good, and opening a shop here should do good business.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but we don't need such a large place. I think this area is quite good. Please stand back a bit, and I'll open up the shops first."
Gu Xinyan glanced around and finally fixed her gaze on the side of the altar closest to the castle.
Fortunately, this place isn't too small, and it's not in the center of the altar, so placing the shop here won't affect their sacrificial ceremony tomorrow.
Upon hearing her words, Atlas and the priests obediently stepped back, making way for the spot they had just been standing in.
Seeing this, Gu Xinyan nodded in satisfaction. Then, with a wave of her hand, she released the dimensional shop from her mind. With a flash of white light, a uniquely designed two-story building appeared in front of everyone.
The crowd and onlookers: "........."
What did they just see? This house just appeared out of thin air like that? Looking at this strangely shaped house, everyone present was shocked and curious at the same time.
"Your Majesty, High Priest, this is our dimensional shop. Please come in and have a look!"
Our shop accepts anything. If you want to buy something, you can put what you bring into this exchange device.
"It will automatically convert it into the currency used in our store, and then you can shop freely in the store," Gu Xinyan explained to everyone with a smile.
Upon hearing these words, Atlas and the priests were filled with curiosity, and they couldn't help but sigh, thinking how difficult it was for the messenger to have to work as a side hustle selling things.
However, they were also very interested in the things the envoy was selling, so the group followed behind Gu Xinyan and the other three and strode into the interdimensional shop.
Although the onlookers also wanted to come in and see, they hesitated when they saw their king and priest.
Afterwards, the officials and others suppressed their restless hearts, but no one wanted to leave, and they all looked over from a distance.
Meanwhile, Atlas and his group were immediately captivated by everything inside the store the moment they entered.
This floor is different from their marble floors, but it has one thing in common: it is very shiny, so shiny that you can see everything clearly.
And there's that glowing thing overhead, I don't know what it is, but it illuminates the whole room so brightly.
And those rows of shelves, piled high with things, looked quite impressive.
After all, there didn't seem to be any shops like this in their kingdom, so when they saw it, they were both amazed and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the envoy, it's truly different."
And what did the messenger just say? You have to exchange something before you can make a purchase. After thinking for a moment, Atlas took out a ruby the size of an egg from his pocket.
This ruby was something Lina mischievously slipped into his arms yesterday; I never expected it would come in handy now.
He then strode towards the exchange machine, looked around, and was a little confused. How did he exchange it?
Should I put it directly into this tray? Just as he was hesitating, the messenger's voice rang in his ears.
