Lily stood staring at the roses and had no idea how to get into the temple. It was possibly an illusion and there was definitely a way to open it.

"Where do I get in there?" she asked.

“Use this here.” answered the system and suddenly a large old-fashioned gold key lit up in front of her, floating in the air.

She grabbed it and now regretted not asking the system for help earlier because then she would have avoided bumping into the unpleasant man, but she also knew she couldn't depend on it all the time.

She put the key in the empty air in front of her and hoped it worked. To her pleasant surprise, she saw a wall of gold undulating in front of her and she heard a loud vroom and suddenly an entrance appeared, and she entered it.

She looked around and saw that she was on the other side of the rose fence and was now standing in front of the temple where there was a large entrance. She walked over to it and touched a white pillar that felt cold and smiled. She went inside and saw a huge hall that reminded her of a church. It was empty of people, and she had no idea where to go because there was no npc to guide her.

She walked around and studied everything carefully and suddenly her eyes fell on a stone statue of a woman in a long dress with short sleeves that was cut down. She wore small round earrings and had long hair and was tall and slim and had a beautiful face. She was holding something large in her right hand that looked like an orb and her other hand was outstretched with the palm facing up as if she was holding something invisible.

She looked down at her feet to check if it said who the woman was but to her disappointment there was no name tag. She looked at the orb again and was reminded of the one she already had, but which came from the system which was The Orb of Goddess Theia.

She was not completely stupid and if the woman kept something invisible it was because she missed something that she might have lost. Since she didn't have a Goddess Title, she would never be able to use the full effect of the orb, so it was better to give it away to this statue.

She took The Orb of Goddess Theia and said, “I hope this can replace what you've lost.” and put it on the woman's left hand.

She turned but to her horror heard something breaking. She turned around and saw that the statue had started to crack and a few seconds later it broke apart and she hurriedly grabbed the orb and looked in shock at the pile of broken stones.

My god, why was she always so unlucky?

She held her orb high to the ceiling and said aloud, “I’m sorry god or goddess. I didn't mean to destroy this statue of yours. I didn't know it was so fragile. Accept my offering which is The Orb of Goddess Theia.”

Suddenly she heard a woman laughing loudly as if she was amused and turned around.

There stood a beautiful woman in a long pink short-sleeved dress with long blonde hair. She looked like the broken statue, and she wondered if it was the same person.

The woman went to her and said, "You are the first one who has sacrificed anything for me, and it is even my lost orb." and took the orb in her hand and smiled at her.

She took out another orb that was white and said, "Take this one as compensation."

Lily accepted it and said, "Thank you very much my lady."

"You came to become a cleric?" asked the woman.

"Yes." Lily replied meekly.

"Okay, you can become a cleric now if you want." said the woman.

When Lily heard that she was ecstatic but suddenly remembered that her quest said she had to visit 4 temples so why did the woman say she could become a cleric by only visiting 1 temple? She trusted her system because it had helped her get this far.

"I still have 3 other temples to visit so it will have to wait until I’ve visited them." she declined nicely.

When the woman heard her, she studied her more closely and narrowed her eyes.

"I see you have that system." she said.

"Yes, that’s correct." Lily replied.

"If you are going to visit the other temples anyway, take this with you." said the woman, taking out a large white box that had a pink ribbon on it.

As Lily was about to leave, she thought of eternal life and asked, "How do I get eternal life?"

“If you had accepted your quest now you had it.” replied the woman.

Lily sighed and was disappointed but that meant she would get it after visiting the other 3 temples.

She bowed to the woman and said, "Thank you so much for your guide my lady."

"When you are going to the other temples anyway, I can ask you to hand these things over to me." said the woman and took out a huge white box that had a white ribbon on it.

When she accepted the box, she heard to her surprise:

You have agreed to bring these items for Goddess Theia to the 3 temples. Countdown 3 weeks

She bowed to the woman and quickly went outside excited and could hear her heart beating fast. That woman was the Goddess Theia and she had never met a goddess before. She didn't know they gave out quests to people.

You have received the title Goddess Theia's messenger

Wow, she was pleasantly surprised because she could now compare herself to Hermes or Isis. It would look nice on her title list, but it had to be at the end because it said goddess and it would attract attention from the wrong people.
