The priest opened his eyes, turned around, stood up, and looked up at Ron.

Ron was somewhat surprised to find that at this moment, Bonnie seemed to have become somewhat...special from the inside out. Her original temperament became lively, and a faint golden light flowed in her big eyes. Her gaze made Ron unconsciously stop asking questions and let her speak instead.

"Ron, do you believe in God?"

This was not like Boonie's usual tone.

"Which one?" Ron thought about it and didn't answer directly. He didn't feel any malice from the other party. No matter whether he was communicating with Bonnie or not, there shouldn't be any crisis.

"for example?"

"As a spellcaster, I am naturally a believer in the goddess of magic," Ron said. "The energy of magic surges in the world, but it can only be used with the permission of the gods. In this world, there are three goddesses of magic, while in other worlds, there may be mysterious ladies or other existences."

"Mystra," Buni read out the name. "Her name is passed down in many universes, but she should not be the god you truly believe in. Neither the one from this world nor the Mother of All Laws."

"Then you might be referring to the other kind," Ron said. "I was once killed by a demon's sneak attack. I met the Final Ruler in the realm of death and received his favor several times. I also handled some trivial matters for him."

"You are too modest," Bunny blinked and seemed to smile. "Gods cannot directly interfere in the mortal world. Even Ernest is only slightly free because of his authority. You have reduced a lot of his workload, and several bad debts have been wiped out because of you."

"But it was just 'mutual benefit'. You didn't really pledge allegiance to him, and he didn't force you to do anything."

Ron looked at the other person in silence. He noticed that when he used honorifics to refer to gods, the other person would still use "he" or "she".

"Then I guess it's probably the goddess of luck?" Ron looked at the statue. "Is that why you brought me here? Luck favors me and the other people in the territory, and they are able to survive because of it."

"Does that count as a letter?" Bunny laughed like a silver bell. "It doesn't count. You can't enter her kingdom of God."

"So, you should be considered 'atheist'?"

"That depends on your definition of atheism. Are you someone who denies the existence of gods or someone who doesn't believe in gods?" Ron spread his hands. "I'm afraid gods didn't exist where I was before, so I don't have the habit of praying. But when gods really exist, I think it's the right choice to acknowledge and accept this fact."

"If you want to ask me whether I am a 'non-believer', my answer is... not really. I have had some dealings with several kind beings."

"Then what are you?"

"I believe in everything," Ron answered honestly. "It doesn't cost any money anyway."

"Anyway...ha, hahaha!" Bonnie widened her eyes and then laughed heartily, "Yes, of course! No one will ask you for money!" "On the contrary, someone will give you money!" The priest blinked playfully, and bright golden light flowed from her eyes. When Ron regained his vision, a radiant blonde woman standing in the light had replaced the priest and stood in front of him.

She, or should I say "Him", stretched out her hand, and in her palm lay a gold coin with its face up: "But... do you dare to take it?"

"As a mortal, dealing with gods may not be a good thing, and I am not a traditional existence. You may take unnecessary risks because of this."

Tymora's incarnation bowed slightly to Ron, who quickly retracted his gaze to avoid appearing too rude: "But, ma'am, haven't I already taken the corresponding risks?"

The goddess looked at the young human, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Indeed, this is an answer. Then come forward and take your money. This is the reward you deserve - and a part of the advance payment."

Ron's fingertips lightly touched the palm of the avatar. The touch seemed ordinary, just like the gold coin he had taken in his hand, no different from most coins - oh, there were still some.

He turned the coin over, and the side with the portrait turned over, and what appeared in Ron's eyes was... another portrait that was exactly the same as the previous one.

"You can use this to make a bet with others," Ron seemed to hear some kind of teasing tone, not sure if it was an illusion, "but remember to guess the positive side, otherwise it won't bring you any good luck."

"You seem to have some questions to ask? Go ahead."

Ron nodded: "If I had given another 'answer' just now, would you still give me this gold coin?"

"Maybe? Maybe not? Who knows? After all, you have already made your choice," Tymora said, "but I can tell you which one is the best: you can let it throw heads, tails, twenty points, one point, a blank... everything is up to you. But you don't have to be depressed, what's wrong with going from the known to the known?"

"I understand. Thank you for your generous gift." Ron showed a look of understanding and saluted the other party with the usual gestures of Tymora believers. He saw that the light on the other party was getting brighter and brighter, and thought that he was ready to leave. "From the known to the known, please rest assured that there will be a definite answer."

"That's good." The goddess restrained her smile and nodded solemnly to say goodbye. The figure that was almost so sacred that it turned the entire church into a sanctuary quickly dissipated into the air. Watching the goddess leave, Ron clutched the coin in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did He suddenly come?" This fantastic experience made Ron ponder carefully, "From the known to the known... Could it be that He predicted that there would be some kind of change, so He came here to stabilize the original direction? After all, she is the goddess of fate, so it is not surprising that she can do this..."

Suddenly, as a bright light burst out from the statue of Tymora, the unprepared Ron lost his vision instantly. When he came to his senses again, the surrounding scene had not changed at all. Only three groups of five coins appeared on the empty floor in front of him.

The first group was a pair of rusty gold coins, but apart from being quite old, there seemed to be nothing special about them. The second group was a gold coin and a silver coin, both with portraits facing up on the front and an eye on the back. The third group, or the fifth coin, was even bigger than the previous four combined. The gold coins were decorated with complicated and luxurious patterns with many gems, and a profile portrait of a silver dragon was painted on the front, while the back...

Ron opened his eyes wide. Even he couldn't tell what kind of scene was painted on it from the mist shrouded by the stars, but a voice in his heart told him clearly.

That (Earth swear word) is the legendary Seven Heavens that rises from the silver sea of ​​kindness! (End of this chapter)
