That day.
Xiluo was still resting in bed.
Barbara shook him awake.
"Quick! Xiluo, it's time. Let's get ready for the treatment!"
Xiluo opened his Dragon Eyes and saw Barbara's expectant face.
"Haah..."
Xiluo merely yawned.
Get ready? Get what ready?
He wasn't human. He didn't need to brush his teeth and wash his face.
As a dragon, wouldn't he be ready just by rolling over and planting both feet on the floor?
He remained rather unmoved.
"Don't rush. Wait for them to send someone to notify us."
Xiluo spoke casually.
He closed his eyes again.
The female dragon beside him dared not disturb him and paced back and forth.
Before long, there was a knock at the door.
Archbishop Keluōmǔ's voice came from outside.
"Your Excellency Xiluo, Lady Gree, it's time for you both to wake up.
The great Saintess Fannis is already waiting for you at the temple."
"Quick! Let's go, Xiluo!"
Barbara urged him again.
Xiluo finally rolled over and got out of bed.
He opened the door, greeted Keluōmǔ, then followed him all the way to a spacious hall.
In the center of the hall.
A statue of the Goddess of Wealth Waukeen stood enshrined, golden all over and seemingly somewhat different from its surroundings, which had been consecrated with special divine spells.
The entire statue stood over three meters tall.
Judging by what he could see, it might have been made entirely of pure gold.
That was truly extravagant. Converted into gold coins, who knew how many tens of thousands it would take? Perhaps over a hundred thousand, or even several hundred thousand?
If he could steal it, he would be rich on the spot.
Barbara noticed this too. She stared fixedly at the statue, nearly drooling.
So much so that both dragons temporarily ignored
