Arthur barely had a little over an hour left before it would be time for him to log out. As such, it wouldn't make sense for him to go out to hunt mobs or do any bounties.
He had also finished talking to the Guard Captain and taken the quest for the Black Root Mandrakes.
'Even if I wish to get those, it'll take me at least two hours to reach them, depending on the mobs.' Arthur thought.
With this in mind, Arthur decided to visit the one place where deities had direct influence and often revealed themselves openly: The Church.
"Let's take a look…" Arthur muttered and turned towards the church.
It was next to the Class Change hall, thus it barely took him a minute to stand in front of it.
The church's entrance was about three meters tall and there was no door on it. And yet, if one tried to glance inside it, all they would see is a warm yellow glow.
One wouldn't see the insides of the church at all.
It was strange and yet; it didn't feel eerie. Instead, a warm feeling of comfort could be felt even if one stood outside the church.
"It's certainly a lot different from other ones… No wonder she was so popular among the players." Arthur said as he remembered the other churches he had seen in the game.
Almost every church had a different feeling to it, depending on the deity that it belonged to. The church in front of Arthur belonged to a benevolent deity… a goddess that was beloved by many.
Arthur looked at it for a moment before walking in through the entrance.
The insides of the church were fully revealed to him, showing several benches that were seemingly made out of woven cane. And at the very back of the church, there stood the altar.
It depicted a woman with a wheatish complexion, and a motherly smile decorating her face. Behind her, a bounty of food could be seen, bunches of barley and wheat stacked along with a cornucopia of fruits and berries.
And behind the altar, one could see a gently burning hearth.
The flames of the hearth were strong yet soothing, providing calmness to one's heart.

"The tamed beast I have does indeed have a Dragon's bloodline… albeit a diluted one." Arthur answered. "It is a Draconid, a Dragon Horn Beetle."
"Of course," Arthur replied. "But will it be fine to do it here?" he said while looking around.
The church was empty, but the benches occupied a decent amount of space.
As soon as she did that, Arthur felt the area change. The benches all moved, the canes that made them starting to wiggle. They came alive and started to move.
The benches seemingly disassembled themselves, gathering on the sides in the form of a row of hedges.
'Surely… the power of the deities is still quite good.' Arthur hadn't sensed even a single wisp of magic in this.
When a spell was used or even when some skills were used, he was able to sense the magic. It was none other than the mana itself that would be observed by him.
Even when he didn't have a class, Arthur could still tell the mana in the air and now that he had become a Dragomancer it had become even more clear to him.
His sensitivity was higher than before, but despite that, he couldn't tell how Hestia had done it.
'So this is divinity…' Arthur thought.
In both of his lives, this was the first time Arthur was experiencing an act like this first hand.
He had read accounts of it before, but seeing it with both his eyes and feeling it all was massively different.
Arthur also knew that what Hestia had done was basically nothing to her. The power of the deities extended a lot more than this.
"This should be enough space." Arthur replied before summoning the Dragon Horn Beetle. "Come out, Brambles."
The figure of Brambles manifested beside Arthur, his large body fitting perfectly in the space now.
"Krrr?" Brambles seemed to be a bit confused.
It wasn't because he was summoned, but rather the location where he had appeared. It was a place unlike anything he had seen before, and thus the beetle was trying to understand it.
"Arrogance?" Arthur furrowed his brows.
"Huh? Really?" Arthur was surprised by this.
After all, he hadn't done anything yet to get the goddess to give something to him like this.
