I! Cleaner!

"His."

"Hiss?"

"Sssssssssss!"

As the sun slowly set on the horizon, the thin but dense hissing of snakes began to rustle in the endless rice fields, slowly moving in a certain direction in unison.

When the sun completely disappeared from the horizon and the cold moonlight fell on the earth, a small altar in the middle of the rice field had become a paradise for snakes. Snakes of different thicknesses and colors were coiled one after another on the thin pillars around the altar. Looking up expectantly at the black sculpture in the center of the altar.

‘That purple-black poisonous ball python should be the priest presiding over this visit. ’

He raised his snake tail and pointed at the only venomous ball python that could be coiled on the snake sculpture. There were six small blue dots on its forehead and a big red dot under its chin. It looked bright red at the side. The fiery little snake said:

‘Are you the chosen one for real? Are you sure that as long as the snake's priest becomes vacant, he can be filled in directly and unconditionally? ’

After hearing Senior Tom's inquiry, Leon looked at the shining [Gold Scale God's Choice (Wealth Eater)] in the slot, and then nodded firmly.

‘That’s okay. ’

After giving him a suspicious glance, the pied snake said:

'If you are really sure, then it will be much easier for us... I will do some tricks later and find a way to kill the priest. You can take advantage of the chaos and go up directly, coil yourself on the snake spirit sculpture, and you can attack the snake spirit sculpture. It sent a signal of danger, drawing it back.

As for the location, it's best to be at the tail end, or as far away from the snake's head as possible, and release it after a slight contact. After all, the divine choice on you comes from a strange place. It's okay if you touch it for a short time, but it will be easily exposed over time. ’

nod.

‘Okay, just move forward and get ready! ’

After saying these words, Senior Tom's incarnation as a spotted snake twisted back and swam silently along the gaps between the rice ears, while Leon followed his request and got into the densely packed rice fields. The group of snakes squeezed towards the sculpture in the center of the altar.

…

"Hiss~"

Accompanied by a somewhat old snake hissing, the purple-black poisonous ball python coiled on the snake spirit sculpture slightly raised its triangular head, while looking down at the poisonous snake under the altar, while speaking strangely:

"Shed off the scales of the old life, hold the endless tail, hunt the beasts that covet wealth, lure the forbidden fruits...

Brothers and sisters who come to pay homage to Lord Snake Spirit, I am a servant who serves Lord Snake Spirit, and I am also an envoy who carries out your orders and shepherds the lambs in the human world. You can call me Poros. "

After introducing his identity, the purple-black poisonous ball python vomited a message, and in a hoarse and delayed voice of an old man, he slowly narrated toward the altar:

"When the guide brought you here, he must have told you that Lord Snake Spirit came directly in the body this time.

So this time you will not only be spiritually connected to Master Snake Spirit, but you will even have the opportunity to directly see the sacred body of Master Snake Spirit with your own naked eyes and touch the gorgeous scales of Master Snake Spirit with your own hands. You are the luckiest group of believers. ! "

"His!"

"Ssssssssssssss!"

After hearing what the poisonous ball python said, the snakes wrapped around the altar suddenly became sizzling and chaotic. They raised their snake heads one after another and looked at the stage with excitement, looking forward to witnessing it with their own eyes as he said. With the coming of the Holy Spirit, some even left the thin pillars in excitement and rushed directly towards the altar.

"Quiet!"

Slightly raising the snake's head and hissing toward the audience, after shocking the overly excited believers, the purple-black python coiled on the black snake sculpture opened its huge mouth, and two rows of fine and sharp teeth emerged from it. It popped out of his mouth, showing a strange expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Don't be impatient. No matter how brilliant the wildflowers on the roadside are in bloom, they cannot be planted in pure gold flowerpots. Only the rare ones are precious.

If this supreme gift of facing the Holy Spirit is given directly to everyone without distinction, it will not be able to show the kindness of Lord Snake Spirit, and it will also go against the creed of our Lord, so come on! Show your piety to our Lord! "

Along with the speech full of fanaticism, a small black and white crown quietly appeared on the head of the purple-black python...or a three-headed pearl snake with black scales and white spots, facing the audience who was waiting eagerly. The snakes spat out black and white forked snake messages.

"If you offer wealth, you will receive good health."

After the little white snake head on the left finished speaking, he solemnly opened his mouth toward the audience.

"Give me love and power."

The little black snake head on the right grinned and opened its mouth playfully with its eyes.

"Send your soul in exchange for peace."

After the gray snake head in the center finished speaking, it opened its mouth with indifferent eyes, revealing a mouth full of fine and sharp teeth.

"bring it on!"

After the three snake crowns on the head finished telling the rules and opened their mouths one after another, the purple-black poisonous ball python then opened its mouth and said with a smile:

"There are three ways to show loyalty to my Lord. You can choose any of them to offer sacrifices, go to the direction they are facing and offer sacrifices, and my Lord will give you corresponding rewards.

After everyone has completed the ritual, the person with the highest value of the gift in each way will be given a place to go on stage to pay homage, and be able to face the divine body of Lord Snake Spirit and receive its blessings! "

…

Is this... a variant auction? In the end, the three people with the highest "transaction amount" among the three transactions will pay homage to the snake spirit?

Seeing the snakes around him rushing up one after another, holding coins in their mouths and respectfully throwing them at the altar, in order not to appear too special, Leon had to imitate the other snakes and stand in front of the white wealth snake head.

"Ding!"

Accompanied by a slightly turbid sound, a violent wind that reached the depths of the soul swept a black iron coin, which suddenly appeared in Leon's mouth, and the meaning of this coin also emerged in Leon's mind.

8 gold wheels, 5 silver wheels, 7 bronze wheels.

This is all the property left after paying the rent of the Happy Apartment, paying William and Melanie's tuition, buying supplements for Anna's health, and a pile of reserve materials in the mirror world. It is also a sacrifice that can be offered to the wealth snake head.

"..."

Looking at the other snakes that chose the wealth snake head, throwing out the shiny coins with golden and silver, and then looking at the dull iron coin in his mouth, Leon silently swallowed the iron coin back and searched for other coins to offer.

Let's change one...

It's not that I don't want to spend money, but mainly because others give so much, and I only give so little, which makes it easier to expose... Well, it's not that I don't want to spend money, absolutely not!

After carefully putting away all his wealth, Leon twisted his red snake body and changed his offering target. The strong wind that went straight into his soul blew, and several brand new coins appeared in his mouth again.

Unlike the dark iron coins before, the two coins that emerged this time, both of them flashed brilliant silver light, and even a hint of gold was mixed in, and the largest one was even brighter and brighter, like the sun at noon.

William, Melanie, and Anna...

After the meaning of the three coins emerged in his mind, Leon raised his head without hesitation, swallowed the coin in his mouth, and turned away from the direction facing the second beloved snake head, trying to swim towards the third soul snake head.

However, as if a breeze blew towards the mountains, Leon, who stood in front of the third snake head, had a soul as solid as an iron mountain welded to the ground. No matter how the wind blew, it did not shake at all, and no coins emerged from his mouth.

Hmm?

Sensing the hysteresis transmitted back from the three-headed snake crown, the poisonous ball python coiled on the black giant snake sculpture slightly twisted its body and looked at a small red snake running back and forth in three directions.

There is no soul fragment at all... There is no reliance or expectation on the greatness of my Lord, and even no belief in any gods at all?

After a discontented glance, the venomous ball python blinked its green eyes slightly at the little red snake that hurriedly retreated after noticing its sight, but said nothing.

After all, neither the Lord Snake Spirit nor my God would force the believers to offer their faith. As long as they had enough wealth and were willing to trade, they would be allowed to enter the secret temple. Although the little red snake was disrespectful to God, it was not a fault in the doctrine of the Golden Scale Religion, and I had no reason to punish it.

However, even those staunch non-believers, after entering the gathering hosted by me and witnessing the power of the true God with their own eyes, would still have some awe even if they still insisted on not offering their faith.

And there seemed to be no awe in the soul of this little red snake. The three-headed snake crown turned several times in his soul, but it could not even condense the cheapest tinfoil. This ignorant and shallow soul was somewhat annoying.

...

Has it been targeted?

After noticing the gaze of the "Bishop Snake" on the altar, Leon couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and instinctively retreated towards the snake pile.

Senior Tom said he wanted to kill the Bishop, and then there was no movement, and no one knew where he went. In order to avoid ruining the planned plan, it is better for me to continue to stay hidden and try not to be noticed.

And the three little snake heads on the head of the "Bishop Snake" seem to want money, one to bury love, and one to kill. If I weigh them carefully, it seems that only the price asked by the snake head representing wealth can be barely accepted by me.

There is no way, it seems that I can only lose money this time!

After making up his mind, Leon didn't care about his money, and quickly changed his position and swam towards the white wealth snake head.

However, during the time when he changed three different snake heads in a row and rushed back to the first snake head, most of the "believer snakes" had already completed their offerings and looked at the sculpture in the center of the altar with expectation, which made the only little red snake swimming horizontally particularly conspicuous.

Seeing that little red snake, who had no respect for the gods, actually held a pitiful iron coin in its mouth and threw it in the direction of the wealth snake head, the "bishop snake" who was already unhappy could not help it.

Swimming down from the snake spirit sculpture, after sticking the inferior iron coin with the purple-black snake tongue, the snake spirit bishop who turned into a poisonous ball python stared at the little red snake and said indifferently:

"Generosity is a virtue. Lord Snake Spirit is not a stingy god. After you generously offer your wealth, he will only generously give you more."

He rolled the iron coin worth 8 gold, 5 silver and 7 copper, which already contained Lyon's entire net worth, back into his mouth. After biting it into pieces with a click, he looked at the little red snake in front of him that was shaking with "fear". The giant python raised its head slightly and said in a cold and condescending voice:

"In our teachings of the Scale Metal Sect, we do not advocate forcing others to make transactions, but using something of such low value as a gift is an insult to Lord Snake Spirit.

You disrespectful fool, I hope you can think about it carefully, make a more rational judgment, and offer more valuable items to Lord Snake Spirit, such as your beloved..."

"puff!"

A large piece of bright silver liquid metal exploded between the two... and the two snakes. The purple-black giant python, which was thicker than a tree trunk, was riddled with needle-like liquid metal and was pricked with holes, even on its head. The three snake crowns he was wearing were not spared, and were cut in two by the suddenly condensed cursed silver blade!

You bitch...you can pay me back without any money! Why did you bite it? !

Seeing the piebald snake quietly appearing in the center of the altar, knowing that Senior Tom was ready, Leon, who had lost all his wealth, took action with anger, controlled the cursed silver transformed from Senior Pioni's butt, and killed the damned snake in front of him. The poisonous ball python tore it apart instantly!

"No! You are not a believer!"

After relying on the life reserve to resurrect from the center of the altar, the "Priest Snake" noticed something was wrong and shouted sharply. The three snake crowns that were restored together on his head let out a cold snake hiss, and the invisible soul storm suddenly rolled up.

"Help!"

"Don't! I'm not!"

"Master Priest!"

A storm that reached deep into the soul swept past, and the snake believers standing between Leon and the "Priest Snake" all fell down like wheat under a sickle.

After breaking away from the snake bodies given by the secret temple, the original human souls of the snake believers were directly scraped out of the body. In the cold and sharp storm, they withstood the tearing comparable to that of a thousand knives, and made a sound A miserable scream from the soul.

However, just when the soul storm spit out by the snake crown hit Leon and was about to roll his soul out of his body, a rooster-like crow came from above the altar, and a terrifying storm swept hundreds of souls. With this, The crow of the chicken disappeared instantly!

What's going on...what? !

Seeing the snake vulture that suddenly appeared amidst the crow of the rooster and grabbed the white snake head on the snake's crown, the priest's incarnation as a poisonous ball python couldn't help but be shocked.

However, before it could react, a gray-brown honey badger nimbly climbed onto its head and accurately bit the black snake's head. A thin weasel with short hair and a pointed head sneaked out from behind it. He climbed up from behind, grabbed the remaining gray snake head and pulled hard!

"Crack!"

Being hunted by three natural enemies that appeared inexplicably, the three magical snake crowns on the head of the priest's snake were torn into pieces without even a word, and were eaten by the three predators without any hesitation. There is nothing left.

"damn it!"

After reacting, the Hierophant Snake roared angrily, and forcibly got rid of the snake body given by the secret temple, grew human arms, and grabbed the snake vulture that was the slowest to hide, trying to snatch back the swallowed snake crown.

But the snake vulture with a wingspan of more than one meter exploded and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a few broken gray bird feathers, and a huge chicken beak with a width of more than thirty meters was passing through. The false clouds on the top of the Secret Temple pecked the head of the strange python with human arms below!
