Age of Adepts

Chapter 667: Moonlight Temple

Views:

Jialan Continent, Central Mountain Range.

The main shrine of the Moon Goddess.

As an unusually grand will of the goddess descended on the tall statue in the center of the temple, the entire Moonlight Temple was submerged in a faint shadow of the moon.

The elf priest Aurora knelt down in front of the statue in fear, silently bearing the cold gaze cast by the goddess. Although the goddess did not speak, she could already feel the deep dissatisfaction and silent reprimand in her eyes.

"Dear Goddess, has the news of the fall of Lord Xinia been confirmed?" Aurora dared to ask in a low voice.

Seriously speaking, the authority and rank of an envoy is far higher than that of her, the priest of the temple. Therefore, for the exact news of Xinia, she still needs to verify it with the goddess herself.

After being silent for a long time, the cold and sweet voice of the Moonlight Goddess finally echoed in the minds of all the temple priests.

"Sinia is completely dead! Her soul did not return to the Kingdom of God, but was completely captured by the enemy..."

The goddess' answer left everyone dumbfounded.

Although they imagined many bad situations, they still didn't expect that the real situation would be so bad. This... this... is simply the worst scenario that even they dare not easily imagine!

In the entire elven god system, the Moonlight Temple can only be regarded as a small sect, and a third-level envoy is already the strongest combat power they can launch. If Xinia really died in the battle in Xin Saluo, the impact on the Moonlight Temple would undoubtedly be very terrifying, and it was beyond her imagination as a 'little' temple priest!

This time, the plague of witches, the Moonlight Temple has already found out clearly.

The only Tier 4 powerhouse sent by the evil witches was on the Shadow Island, and he didn't rush into the Jialan Continent. In order to deal with this fourth-level pale witch, all the major temples have selected elite guards and powerful elf angels to sit on the front line and closely monitor each other's every move.

Under such circumstances, the number of witch teams that the other party can send out to infiltrate the Jialan Continent to make trouble and plunder is not only limited, but also average in strength.

It is precisely because of the clear understanding of this situation that Aurora, the chief priest of the temple, hastily reported to the Moonlight Goddess after a believer's settlement was destroyed. The believers of the goddess show the power of the goddess and the attitude of the god to love the people.

Originally, based on Aurora's calculations, hundreds of fighters who believed in the goddess were already a very strong team, and with the addition of a Tier 3 angel who possessed the divine power of the goddess, such a team was enough to deal with any sneaking into Jia The Wicked Witch of the Blue Continent.

It's a pity that no matter how she estimated and calculated, she couldn't believe that such a powerful team of divine envoys would fail in the magic forest. What's more serious is that not only did they fail, but they almost fell to the end of annihilation.

News of the defeat was brought back by some of the surviving party members, all of whom claimed to have witnessed the fall of the envoy Sinia.

Sinia, the only Tier 3 envoy of the Moonlight Temple, died in the pincer attack of a Tier 3 evil witch and a Tier 3 brontosaurus. Her broken body even became the trophy of the opponent, and was not snatched back by the elves.

This terrible news immediately caused panic in the temple!

Therefore, even though she knew that she would be punished by the goddess, Aurora, the priest of the temple, still bit the bullet and contacted the goddess of moonlight who was far away in the kingdom of God. And the latter chose to descend on the statue of the temple in person after receiving the news.

The gods come!

This kind of behavior is unique in the seven thousand years since the Moonlight Temple was built.

If you really want to check with your fingers, the last time a goddess came in person dates back to the ancient battle between the elves and the human gods. But today, the aloof Goddess of Moonlight chose to come again because of a 3rd-rank envoy, which is naturally self-evident!

The blow this time was simply earth-shaking for the Moonlight Temple.

The loss of personnel and combat power was second, but the most important thing was that the belief and trust of the elf believers in the goddess of moonlight was seriously shaken. And the latter is undoubtedly the foundation and cornerstone for the emergence of the former!

For a large force like the Elven Temple, the loss of more than a hundred warrior believers may not be a big deal. But for the small Moonlight Temple, it was like breaking the spine, and it caused them pain to the marrow. The fall of the high-ranking envoy means that the Moonlight Temple has since lost its right to speak within the forest elves.

At least until new envoys are cultivated, the strongest external power of the Moonlight Temple can only be acted by a group of Tier 2 elves! And what kind of status can a 2nd-level envoy have in front of those 3rd-level or even 4th-level envoys, and who will take her words seriously!

Moreover, Xinia's soul has not returned, which means that the secrets inside the Moonlight Temple that she knows may also be obtained by the witches. At that time, the evil witches will use this information to stir up wind and rain, and the damage to the Moonlight Temple and the Moonlight Goddess will undoubtedly be even greater and more troublesome.

It was precisely because she realized the seriousness of this matter that the Moonlight Goddess chose to come to the main temple in person.

In this way, on the one hand, it can quickly calm and appease the wavering beliefs of the believers, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for 'her' to arrange the next attack on the evil witches nearby.

Yes, she wanted to arrange a battle right away, and then dilute the shadow of this fiasco with a brilliant victory. But before that, she needs to borrow something from a 'friend'.

Don't be surprised, even in the God Realm, the gods have close and distant relationships and various strange relationships. Just like ordinary people, a high-ranking god will also have inexplicable friendship or inexplicable hostility with another true god because of his priesthood and personality.

In the elf god system, the relationship between Mi Wei, the goddess of moonlight, and Yurga, the source of the forest, is particularly close, and the relationship between the two is similar to that of brother and sister. Yurga is the elder brother and Mi Wei is the younger sister. Although the two gods and goddesses have no secular blood relationship, they naturally have a sense of intimacy due to their affinity in the priesthood.

Yurga, the source of the forest, is an elf god that all druids in the elf kingdom will choose to believe in, so he is a 5th-level true god with a fixed group belief. In addition to 'nature, druids and flora and fauna', his priesthood area also has 'forest'.

And Mi Wei, the goddess of moonlight, said that she also has the item of 'forest' in her priesthood.

If it were changed to the world of evil gods, this situation of priesthood conflict would definitely lead to a terrifying and bloody war of gods, and it would not end until a certain party fully grasped the control of this part of the world's priesthood. But in the peace-loving elven pantheon, the overlapping clergy not only did not trigger a war between Yurga, the source of the forest, and Mivi, the goddess of moonlight, but instead made the two gods inexplicably close and fond of each other.

According to some rumors in ancient myths and stories, the predecessor of Yurga, the source of the forest, was the first fourth-level great druid born in the plane of Faen. In order to allow himself to continue to guard and give back to the magic forest after his death, he asked his younger generations to bury his body under the tallest oak.

And his deeds during his lifetime also deeply moved many latecomers, and became the object of unanimous worship and belief by the new druid group.

Finally, with the passage of thousands of years, massive power of faith gathered under the tall oak tree, thus condensing the current source of the forest, Yurga.

As for the goddess of moonlight, Mi Wei, it was two or three thousand years later than Yurga, the source of the forest, appeared.

It seems that her appearance is also due to Yurga's active guidance and participation. Therefore, after the birth of Mi Wei's consciousness and will, she naturally regarded Yurga as her elder brother. Their relationship is also closer and purer than that of other elf gods.

Of course, the bodies of the two gods are seated in the high kingdom of God, and the chances of being able to use their bodies in daily communication and communication, either through divine thoughts or avatar visits, are very slim. Without absolute trust, no god would use his body to enter another true god's kingdom.

Because the kingdom of a true god is equivalent to the extension of his (her) divine power domain, in this domain, even a true god whose rank is several steps higher than him (her) can hardly shake his (her) authority and prestige able. So even if a 6th-level main god enters the 5th-level true god's kingdom, it is tantamount to handing over his life and soul to the other party.

The risks involved are so great that no god dares to try it lightly!

So after the Moonlight Goddess came to the Moonlight Temple, with just a thought, she had already contacted the Druid Holy Land located in another part of the Central Mountain Range - the Emerald Dreamland.

This is a mysterious and secluded green meadow.

In the middle of the green lawn stood a huge oak tree soaring into the sky.

The tallness and majesty of this ancient tree are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people in the world. The old tree's whirling old trunk is tens of meters thick. And the huge canopy that stretches like a giant umbrella is even more verdant and lush, and you can feel the vitality at a glance.

As the birthplace of Yurga, the source of the forest, this tall oak tree naturally became the favorite place for the druids to gather and live. In the forest around the tall oak tree, hundreds of druids of different ages and ranks lived scatteredly.

And when the ray of divine sense of the moonlight goddess Miwei arrived here and transformed into a beautiful elf girl, the tall ancient tree trembled slightly, and then a woman dressed in green grass and rattan woven all over her body walked out of the tree. The old man of clothes.

Dear Mi Wei-sama! "

The old man was leaning on a long oak stick, his face was old and clumsy, his face was bronze, and his head was covered with braids of various sizes. At the end of each braid was tied a plant seed or an animal tooth, or simply a small stone or something strange.

"Fandar, the most devout follower before Lord Yurga, pays tribute to you!"
