Chapter 629
Chapter 629 Messenger of the Moon Goddess
Greem and Alice looked at each other speechlessly.
The two wiped away the bloodstains on their mouths and remained dazed for a moment before recovering from the shock earlier.
Alice moved toward Greem and carefully assessed the crescent moon projection on his head. She then tried to wipe it away with her hand gently. Strangely, enough, she didn’t come into contact with any material substance. It was almost as if the moon was just an image being projected from the crescent moon in the sky.
However, when scanning with her Spirit, Alice could very clearly feel the existence of that crescent moon.
Moreover, the projection seemed to be changing alongside the waxing and waning of the moon above.
Greem also used the Chip to sense the moon projections on both of their foreheads. He vaguely detected a trace of spatial flux within them.
“What is this?” Greem asked solemnly
Any individual that was not a follower of the Goddess of Moonlight would trigger the divine barrier set up by Meve if they stepped within a quarter of a kilometer of the temple. Meve’s consciousness would then be sent over from the distant world of gods and judge if the guest was an enemy or a friend.
After this prayer and communion that had lasted for the greater half of the day, Third Grade Elven God Messenger Xenia finally stood up. The light of faith surrounding the tall statue that possessed a pretty figure whose face was obscured by faint moonlight also started to fade gradually.
Soon, this statue, which had previously been soaked in a dense sacred aura, turned into a perfect wooden carving once again. The woman of the icon might look beautiful, with a dignified and scared expression, but it no longer had the same feeling of holiness that compelled one to kneel and prostrate themselves.
“You have heard the holy words of the Goddess as well. Why don’t we all talk about how we can complete the mission assigned by the Goddess?” Even though they were all servants of the gods, this Third Grade God Messenger Xenia possessed much higher status compared to the temple officiate. That was why this conversation was being held with her at the very core.
Xenia was a tall, slender, and pretty female elf. She wore delicate elven armor decorated with plenty of beautiful patterns that resembled rose branches and jade green vines upon her body.
Moonshade Messenger was both her title and her advancement profession.
It was a unique profession that was somewhere in between a magical knight and a spellcaster. It also simultaneously possessed some offensive techniques of shadow assassins. As such, in terms of just combat strength, it could be categorized as a fearsome spiritualist class with tremendous dueling abilities and limited brawling abilities.
“Evil is breeding in the distance; the Goddess has already warned us. Those evil witches have once again invaded our home. In particular, a troop of especially wicked fellows have slaughtered the followers of our Moonlight Temple. They even destroyed a nature altar that the Goddess herself had personally established. A crime like this needs to be punished. I will summon and gather the followers of the Goddess of Moonlight and strike back with maximum force.” Temple Officiate Aurora’s words might suggest fury, but her tone and expression appeared relatively calm.
That was a classic trait of all elven followers that believed in the Goddess of Moonlight.
Elegant, noble, calm; these were the core beliefs that the Goddess of Moonlight most appreciated and encourage. That was why, as a follower of the Goddess, Aurora maintained an expression of composure while harboring intense feelings of rage.
The other two priests and the Third Grade elven god messenger were behaving in the same way.
“This doesn’t seem like enough!” Xenia confidently added, “The Goddess has already used her divine powers and left a moonshade coordinate upon their bodies. I will be able to clearly sense their location if they ever bask in the moonlight. That’s why I will need you to gather some individuals who are skilled at fighting. The moment the enemy betrays their position, I will use divine power to teleport the group over instantly.”
“Understood, Lady Xenia!” Temple Officiate Aurora nodded her head slightly, “I will gather the people you need in the shortest time possible. I will not hinder this great vengeance that we will be undertaking!”
The two priests nodded and accepted their orders. They then slowly exited the hall.
Seven minutes later, an aura of intense nature magic radiated from within the hall. Several emergency magical messages had rapidly spread throughout the divine power network that the elven kingdom had set up.
For a moment, all the high-grade followers of the Goddess of Moonlight left their homes within Garan and gathered toward the main temple in the central mountains.
Due to the exceptional size and width of the Fantasy Forest, followers of further areas would take days to get to the main temple. That was why the temporary group of vengeance-seekers was only made of elven followers near the central mountains. Among their number were over a dozen high-grade profession holders (Second Grade) and almost two hundred elite profession holders (First Grade).
Such a powerful force would inflict unforgettable scars upon the enemy if they stormed out of the central mountains.
