In the Central Street Square of Lionheart City, Lance, who had been asked to leave by the clergy of the Valkyrie Temple, sat beside the square's fountain waterfall... on a bench intended for resting tourists and travelers, recalling the expression of the Temple Valkyrie Statue.
He had shouted three times, "Sophia, pay back the money", but the expression on the Valkyrie Statue... showed no change. Divine statues that sense a believer in the Human World calling out the name of a Deity are supposed to undergo some unbelievable transformations.
Some clergy members could detect this change, while others could not.
The statues in the temples of small cities don't have much divinity; to draw the attention of Deities, one must visit larger cities, like a kingdom's capital, as well as the sacred places of all the major temples, where the divinity of the statues is more substantial.
Calling out to Sophia to return the money should have elicited some response from the Valkyrie Statue.
