The Early Online Dream

Episode 19 of the Dark Eye Arc: Platos Village and Temple of the Goddess Luna

Lara became worried after reading the letter and then because she did not know what to do she decided to go offline.

***

Two days passed, now that Lara and the others had moved back to the ocean area and bought a residence that had the highest rating. Lara and all now live in elite housing with two floors that have five rooms a Kitchen and one Living room in addition there is also a front yard and backyard that can be used for various functions.

Unlike when in the land area in the ocean all look very peaceful and calm as well as all the neighbors around look very friendly and kind.

Sasha also seemed to enjoy playing with her peers without having to worry about the people she met like when on the mainland. All the neighbors welcomed them. When they just got to the house almost all the neighbors around helped move.

Since this was the day that Lara got to Platos village she went online when she had the chance. when he went to Dream Lara found himself still in the train and now he has entered the area of the Platos not much Player/players who got here at the moment because of its location that was very far from the city as well as its terrain were a little difficult to pass.

The road to the mountain is steep and slightly rocky makes the horse should be more extra trying to step forward, making it more difficult to move forward, several times the wheels of the train are stuck which makes the coachman have to go down and make something to make the wheels turn and the train goes back.

Platos village is a small village with indigenous people no more than 1000 heads of families here most of them are sulfur miners, sulfur miners, and, they would go up the mountain every day to mine the sulfur and then go home after the afternoon and immediately sell the mines to the besiegers.

The selling price of Sulfur is not at all comparable to the effort to get it to make most of the Platos villagers live in severe poverty.

Arid and rocky soil conditions make Platos villagers unable to grow crops that make them only able to depend their lives from sulfur mining.

Lara got off the train and saw the temple where she was serving outside there were already two sisters who welcomed Lara who seemed to have been told that Lara would arrive today. Lara walked towards the temple looking at every part of the Temple from the outside after she entered the Temple complex of two sisters who were already waiting to speak to welcome.

‘’Your map must be tired let me take you to your room’’ said the nurse who looked young and beautiful near Lara

Lara just followed her steps as she entered she saw the condition of the temple turned out to be more severe than it looked from the outside. The roof is already full of holes such as Angelia church, benches for jama’at was badly damaged, plus the condition of the statue of the goddess Luna that is not so good not to mention the area near the statue is very concerning.

Seeing that Lara felt this had a huge PR she had to do. After a quick look at the condition of the main room of the temple Lara went into the door at the back following the sisters and then entered the room. When the door opened Lara was surprised that the room felt different from the conditions seen in the main room and outside the temple

‘’This is the room of pastor’’ said the nurse saw Lara wrapped in an iron mask

‘’Why is this room so well maintained while the main room is so pathetic?’’ ask Lara

‘’Itu… the previous pastor who now moved to the city near the kasisaran set this’’ said one of the sisters looked surprised by Lara's dissatisfaction while the other looked nervous after Lara said to her dissatisfaction. Lara looked at their expressions then immediately understood what was really going on.

‘’You no longer need to take me give me financial statements 5 years before this and I ask in 1 hour already on my table’’ Lara gave the order firmly.

‘’Mailer beg pardon.please forgive us I was forced, my father is sick and there is nothing I can do but follow the orders of the priest Mika’’ Said the one standing at the door

‘’Master please forgive me, I do not intend to take the temple money, priest Mika threatened to kill my family if I refuse’’ said the submissive sister and indeed Lara's feet asking for forgiveness.

Lara was not surprised by that she knew they were telling the truth, because otherwise they would not be wearing such rombeng clothes and full of stitches like now. But mistakes are mistakes and there are consequences of every action that has been done whether it is right or wrong.

‘’I won't report you but as a punishment I will cut your service money until you pay off the money you took’’ said Lara

‘’Map...’’ Both Sisters seem dissatisfied with it but then after Lara says her other threats they comply

‘’Nothing... now choose obey the punishment or go to jail ‘’ Lara said firmly

‘’Good... tomorrow morning I ask for the report I want do not try to cheat or the penalty will be twice as heavy’’ Lara threatened

‘’Good pastor’’ both sisters immediately move and retreat they appear to be chased by dogs to find and deliver the laopran that Lara asked for as well as escape fearing Lara changing her mind and putting them in jail.

Seeing that Lara was just a buzz and then she arranged the items she needed on the table. Lara took out some pretty frenetic furniture from her room and when morning came she ordered two sisters there to sell it to the market and the money was used for the renovation of the bench jama’at and also the roof of the temple that had not been deserved.

All night Lara read a book until she fell asleep at her desk. The night turns into a bright morning, Lara sees some citizens coming to pray and consult and Lara does not reject any who come to her to ask for enlightenment and blessings.

Lara received several people at the same time while her two subordinate sisters were already nowhere to be seen in the temple, the two of them were currently still in the market to sell all the valuables in the church and pay some artisans to renovate the temple.

‘’Mr.my mother asked me to marry a man I don't love, I don't know what I should do. If I choose my girlfriend who I love then my mom will be disappointed and if I choose my mom's choice I'm afraid I won't be happy’’ said the woman who cried in front of Lara

‘’How was your mother's chosen person?’’ask Lara again

‘’He was the son of my mother's friend we've been friends and knew each other long enough’’

‘’He's a good person? Then what about your boyfriend like what he is?’’ said Lara

‘’My girlfriend is also equally good... Pastor I should how?’’ the woman said without hesitation

‘’So... briefly’’ Lara wrote a letter and kept it in an envelope, Lara gave two envelopes to the woman and then spoke

‘’Give this one to your girlfriend and this one to your friends see their reaction and you will know who they’’ said Lara calmly

‘’What is this?’’ the woman said

‘’You will know when they open it do not be alone when giving this letter and let him read it and wait’’ Lara said

‘’I understand thank you pastor’’ the woman spoke

As the woman moves on she goes straight out of the temple with a man Lara doesn't know what his girlfriend is or his mother's chosen one but the man is full of tricks and lies. The day changed again and this time the woman seemed to come with a bruised face towards Lara

‘’Mail thank you I didn't know he was that kind of person, though,  now I choose my mother's pilahan she is very good and patient’’ said the woman with her battered face like she had been beaten by someone and Lara knew who it was.

‘’Haha... You are still grateful after being battered so?’’ tanya Lara felt a bit strange and funny

‘’It is okay if I stick to my previous stance I will really regret for a lifetime this small wound does not mean anything’’ reply that woman without hesitation

‘’Haha.. be good as long as you are happy, my suggestion quickly get married is not good to date long-time’’ said lara sediki to slow down her voice

‘’How the priest knows me..’’ the woman was surprised to see Lara who was like reading her mind.

‘’Haha... I've seen your mother's chosen man now, he has great luck. Unfortunately if you are going to lose such a man, it is difficult to live well at this time’’ kara Lara told the woman with a slight bowing of her body and whispering in most words.

‘’I understand.. I will ask him to marry me as soon as possible’’ the woman whispered reply to Lara.

‘’Go don't make your big money bag wait and glance at another’’ said Lara drove the woman away
