The purple diamond in the brochure looks crystal clear, uniform in color, and an unprecedented purple. It has a mysterious attraction and looks particularly eye-catching.
What is even more noteworthy is that this diamond is as big as a quail egg and has a regular shape, which conforms to the most standard diamond shape in people's common sense.
But the introductory text next to it emphasizes that this diamond is just a rough stone, without any polishing or carving
A miracle of nature
Jia Luo muttered something in his heart, and searched his memory carefully, and finally remembered why he thought this purple diamond looked familiar.
The 'flower of hope' planted in the church garden also showed him a purple diamond.
The flower of hope came from the wreckage of the star god's container. After a failed sacrifice, it became a seed. After being planted by Gallo, the speed germinated and taught him the useless monitoring god. surgery.
Thinking of this, Gallo quickly activated the monitoring magic to check the situation in the church.
In the garden, there was a cartoon-shaped sprout. Gallo tried to poke it with his eyes, and a dialog box popped up next to it, which contained a pattern of a purple diamond.
The monitoring screen in Gallo's eyes is generally cartoony and cute, and this diamond is no exception. It looks like a product in an animation, or an icon in a game.
The pattern on the auction brochure is a magical method to achieve a photo-like effect. There should be no beautification or filters added, and the style of painting is very realistic.
Therefore, the purple diamond in the manual and the purple diamond in the bubble box have a huge difference in painting style, and they may not be the same thing.
But Gallo subconsciously felt that this should be the same thing.
This is his judgment based on experience on Earth.
In his memory, he was a priest who summoned wind and rain on Earth, slayed dragons and demons, and saved the world. A cartoon-style icon used to refer to specific mission objectives.
For example, there is a very ferocious dragon, but in the mission description, a fat, fat, naive, and cute icon is used to refer to it.
This time, it seems to be the same
According to past experience, I should have found this purple diamond and brought it back to this flower of hope
But what puzzled him was, why did this divine technique present hints in front of him in this way
If it wasn't for me remembering some things on Earth, I wouldn't be able to understand the hints of this style at all, right
Gallo didn't delve into this question, because it was destined not to get an answer, and he went back to thinking about whether to buy the purple diamond.
The price of this purple diamond must be high, because it appears in the last few pages of the brochure.
According to the old bishop, things that appear later are usually more expensive. If you want to buy it, you may have to bleed...
But fortunately, it did not appear in the last three pages, indicating that it has not yet reached the finale.
Maybe it's because it's just a rough stone, not a finished product
The price difference between the rough stone and the finished product is likely to be dozens of times, or even hundreds of times...
But the situation is still not optimistic. After all, this rough stone is too big and its color is too peculiar, so it is still easy to attract bidding. Gallo's money may not be enough.
And it's impossible for him to spend all his money on this, and he still needs to buy a bracelet for Daidai, a leg ring for Amiya, and he also wants to give Lilian Luo a small gift.
In addition, we have to maintain the daily expenses of the church...
More importantly, he didn't know if this thing was worth spending a lot of money on.
Maybe Flower of Hope doesn't want this rough stone? Does that icon mean something else
Maybe it's useless for Flower of Hope to take this rough stone
It is more likely that after buying the rough stone, some bad consequences will be caused, which is really a big loss.
Gallo couldn't help but fell into a somewhat contradictory situation. His experience and intuition told him that he should buy it, but his rationality told him that he shouldn't waste money on such things with unclear meaning, unclear purpose, and illusory things.
This is quite a bit of a feeling of entanglement when facing the ten consecutive card draw buttons with the salary you just got...
In fact, in the final analysis, it was all caused by lack of money. If the old bishop was a mine digger, would he still need to worry about this? Wouldn't it be good to buy it directly
Gallo struggled for a while, and finally decided to use a simple and direct method to make a decision.
He knelt on one knee in the direction of the church and prayed in a low voice:
"Master Miya, do you want to buy this diamond?"
The goddess did not respond directly to him.
But it gave a hint.
The cassock on Gallo's body automatically changed color, becoming golden and gleaming, as if woven with gold leaf.
Gallo suddenly came to his senses, and quickly said:
"Lord Miya, I understand what you mean!"
"You want me to pawn off this teaching robe and buy this purple diamond?"
The goddess did not answer him.
But the small wooden hammer in his sleeve flew out automatically, hitting him on the forehead...
Gallo: (@﹏@)
"Oh, my lord, Miya, I was wrong. You mean not to buy, not to waste money, right?"
The little wooden hammer flew back into his sleeve.
Gallo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this time, he guessed the goddess' mind correctly.
But the sea urchin necklace on his chest flew up by itself...
Gallo: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Oh, oh! Miya, I was wrong, buy, buy, buy, buy! Buy all!"
This time, the sea urchin necklace changed from the meteor hammer back to a normal necklace and returned to his neck.
Alas... It's hard to guess what a girl's mind is, let alone a goddess's
Gallo then went back to his room, found out the bank deposit slips hidden in the closet, under the bed, and in the crevices of the drawers, and then counted his current net worth.
More than 40,000 gold is really a lot...
"Keep the odds for daily use, and use the remaining 40,000 gold to buy things..."
"I don't know if it's enough..."
Gallo said with some distress.
He originally planned to use the money to buy materials to set up a powerful barrier for the church.
But since the goddess gave a clear hint, this matter can only be shelved later.
However, after checking the property, Gallo noticed that the bulk of it was the owner's barrier buyout fee, and Mrs. Carola's barrier layout fee.
Basically, it is earned by enchantment...
"If only more rich people like Mrs. Carola came to me to set up enchantments..."
He could not help but mutter something in a low voice.
At this time, Amiya next to him suddenly tugged at his arm.
As soon as Gallo turned his head, he saw Amiya lift up her skirt and take out a money bag from it.
This money bag was given to her by him last time, and it contained the gold coins that Amiya poured out of Made.
Amiya has always been very rare about this private money, and carefully hid it, not even giving it to Gallo.
But right now, she was opening the purse, and dumped the dozen or so gold coins inside on the table in front of the two of them.
Amiya tilted her head slightly, as if thinking and hesitating, then reached out and put half of the gold coins in front of Gallo.
Means, divide half of his private money into Gallo
But she blinked again, stretched out her hand again, and moved half of the gold coin on her side.
In front of her, there were only three gold coins left...
Looking at this scene, Gallo was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Amiya reached out for the third time and transferred two gold coins to him.
On her side, there is only the last gold coin left...
"Amiya, you..."
Jia Luo hesitated to speak, feeling that his heart was about to melt.
Amiya turned her head and glanced at him, noticing that the expression on his face was still solemn, so she picked up the last gold coin in front of her for the fourth time without hesitation, and put it on Gallo's side.
The money bag in which I kept my private money was completely empty.
But Amiya carefully folded the purse and put it close to her body.
Gallo didn't know what to say at this time, or even what expression to use.
He just turned around and gave Amiya a big hug.
Amiya's blue eyes flickered slightly, revealing a little puzzlement and doubt, which looked like human eyes.
But she recovered quickly and gave Gallo a big hug.
In the early morning of winter, the temperature should be very low, but Gallo felt warm in his heart.
Even Amiya's slender body didn't look so cold, as if it had body temperature.
But in the end, Gallo still didn't accept Amiya's kindness, but pushed the dozen or so gold coins back in front of her.
"It's okay, Amiya, I'm actually pretty good at making money..."
"Save the money well, just buy something you like."
Amiya froze for a moment, looked down at the gold coin in front of her, then at Gallo next to her, then tilted her head, and began to think about something...
So just like that, after dawn, Gallo approached the old bishop and told him what happened in the early morning.
"Since the goddess has given a hint, then we must carry it out seriously."
"The matter of money...you don't have to worry, if it's really impossible, I'll take down this old face..."
The old bishop said seriously.
In fact, if he wants, he only needs to write a few letters, one to Artanis, one to Carlos, and Li, and the Witch Sect...
But Gallo would be wrong, and quickly persuaded:
"No, no, no! You can't be allowed to borrow usury."
"Those people are all vicious!"
"No... I just..."
Just as the old bishop was about to defend himself, Gallo quickly interrupted him:
"Are you trying to mortgage the title deed here? Not to mention, this is the church we finally got!"
"In short, don't worry about it, just leave it to me!"
"It's really impossible, I'll go to Mrs. Carola..."
