Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 158 Special Ian
Although what happened back then happened a long time ago, Lowry could still see a bit of the gods' attitude towards that religious war from the subsequent reactions of the major churches.

A god like the Lord of Storms naturally doesn't care about those trivial matters. He has never had such high expectations for his earthly walkers. Anyway, if he really needs to show his presence, he doesn't need the help of mortals.

His attitude towards the church is more like an identification with himself as a devout believer, rather than requiring the church to do anything for him.

But the Dark Night Goddess, who created the Dark Moon in her church, obviously doesn't like to talk about what happened at that time.

Although she had never expected her church to gain any secular power, for the Dark Night Goddess who always liked to communicate with the little girls who respected and loved her, and would actually assign different roles and positions to them personally, mortals disturbed her pleasure.

Moreover, the Dark Night Goddess has a very arrogant personality. She doesn't care about humans fighting for their own interests, but she cares that humans are not as respectful to her as before.

However, she understood that the disputes among the secular world had little to do with gods like them... So, although she was unhappy and therefore listed many people who offended her as unwelcome people, she would not interfere in these boring things on earth as a god.

The Lord of the Earth, just like his own peculiar attributes, is subtly between the Lord of Storms and the Goddess of Darkness.

He didn't seem to care much, but he chose to be indifferent to those who shouted disrespectful words at him in the past, but he didn't say it clearly like the Dark Night Goddess.

Perhaps, in his opinion, he should know who has offended him.

As for the other three gods who are based mainly on faith…it really doesn’t matter what they think.

When the three of them didn't intend to react to this, they had long been unable to influence the things on earth and could do nothing but watch.

The reason why the clergy of the God of Knowledge can still leave the place of faith and carry out activities is because they basically work as part-time scholars.

Otherwise, at this critical moment when several major churches are busy paving the way, how could the other three churches that are in greater need of this not make any move?

They just can't do it.

As for the Knowledge Churches that still have some mobility, they don't actually need to move.

Once the God of Knowledge was able to influence the mortal world, scholars generally resumed their faith in him immediately.

After all, his magic arts that were specifically used to identify files, copy and organize documents were really useful, and did not require a lot of time to learn like spells.

As for tools, who has nothing better to do than to understand how this thing is made? Isn’t it enough as long as it can be used?
Now, here comes the interesting thing: why does the Dark Night Goddess’ hatred for the free voter last so long?

So many years have passed, and from Ian's attitude that time, we can tell that a certain liberal voter is probably completely rotten to the bone. When she met Lori, who was just a little suspicious, the goddess of darkness still kept pestering her.

Yes, during that period of time just now, from the moment Ian suddenly pulled out her rapier and stabbed the dog's buttocks, she was no longer completely herself.

This Dark Moon is probably the hidden saint of the Church of Dark Night, the kind who grew up in a holy water pool.

Moreover, before adulthood, he would hardly ever leave the palace filled with the power of the dark night.

Otherwise, with the current influence of these gods on the earth, there is no way to directly control the believers who are immersed in the secular atmosphere, no matter how devout they are.

Of course, this also places very high demands on the saint herself, and she must be very compatible with the power of the dark night.

Therefore, as long as the Dark Night Goddess can use it, she will not easily descend in person. She will just half-possess like before and use a little mental influence to control Ian's actions. Then the life span of this Dark Moon will definitely be very long.

However, originally, he could live for 500 years at most.

After all, she was only immersed in the power of the dark night before she came of age, and after she came of age, she had to slowly accept the influence of the atmosphere of the mortal world.

As time went on, even though she could still rely on praying devoutly in the Dark Night Temple every year to replenish herself with some divine power, after all, a water inlet pipe as thin as a cow's hair, no matter how long it was open, could not withstand an open bathtub plug.

When the divine power completely disappears from Ian's body, her life will naturally come to an end.

However, it is not known whether Ian's luck is good or bad, the day when the gods return to the earth seems to be at hand.

Logically speaking, Ian will definitely be able to see this day and, like the chosen people in other worlds, have endless life and great power.

But, she also had to pray that the Goddess of Darkness would not use her body too many times...Lori didn't think that when the time came to take action, the Goddess of Darkness would be as restrained as she was this time.

The reason why he discovered that something was wrong with Ian was because she suddenly killed the Ice Dog King.

Lowry actually knows that he is subtly different.

Perhaps because he has been influenced by the artifact since the day he was born, his aura is somewhat special and can easily attract the favor of animals.

I don't know if it's because of this peculiar physique that his animal language spell has changed a little. Not everyone can understand what the stupid dog's barking means by stacking two spells.

The reason why the Ice Dog King cursed so unscrupulously and dared to respond to anything was, of course, because he was sure that no one on the cliff could understand what he was saying.

Although Ian's attack came some time after the dog said something incredibly dirty, Lori, who had been staring at her because it was so interesting, still noticed the timing of her stiffening a few times. It was a bit of a coincidence.

If she held back, the careless Lori might have ignored her abnormality.

Unfortunately, not only did she fail to hold back, but her responses to her companions and the Archbishop were also inappropriate.

And then there were the words that were said to Lori and Alex afterwards.

Although he was apparently testing the two of them and trying to sow discord between them, Lowry was very keenly aware that the person the other party was actually observing was him.

Some things may be overlooked by others, but the things that happened in Montes Castle happened only four years ago.

If the leader of the cult can do it, why can't the goddess of darkness do it?
The reason why Lori chose to point a finger at Alex was certainly not because he was kind-hearted, but because he hoped that guy would be more tactful and cautious when dealing with Ian.

At least, knowing that Lowry was going crazy against someone who might be very powerful, he knew that he couldn't just stand by and watch.

Alex did a great job.

Let his madness be perfect:
The Dark Night Goddess left with satisfaction after confirming that Lori was just a bit of a coward, ah, no, after he transformed into a white dragon... This guy's personality is actually quite good, at least his patience is much higher than Ian's.

As long as she was sure that Lori was not the kind of person she wanted to kill, and the child's provocation was not directed at her, the goddess of the dark night, she didn't care at all.

That is a kind of condescending indifference.

Of course, for a god as powerful as the Goddess of Darkness, being able to treat mortals with equal indifference is indeed a sign of her kindness and generosity.

Lori wasn't really that impulsive... There was a subtle difference between making sure that person was there and feeling the provocation after she left.

The former is the cat's meow, which may not sound good, but if you don't care what it says, it can still be considered pleasant.

The latter is like a dog barking, which is not pleasant at all.

If Ian hadn't used her own brain to think and said some stupid things that obviously weren't spoken by a god, Lori would never have dared to try the second style.

However, Ian, who later regained her self, obviously could not tolerate Lowry's provocation.

After all, in her eyes, Lori was not an insignificant child.

Therefore, Lori could instantly understand that the influence of the Dark Night Goddess on her was basically still at a stage that was not worth mentioning.

In other words, Ian is still Ian, and has not gradually developed into the character of the goddess of darkness.

If you are possessed by a god for a long time, the impact you will receive is definitely not just a resonance of divine power.

How could the spiritual sea not become like that other party when it is invaded by such a powerful and huge being?
Maybe there will be only slight changes at the beginning, but in the later stage, it is hard to say how much of the personality and habits of the dependent person still belong to him/her.

Lowry read a lot of Western fantasy novels, especially the famous Chosen Ones in Dungeons and Dragons.

Among the seven sisters of the north, Lady Hope Alustriel Silverhand, who once shared her body and spirit with her biological mother, the magic goddess Mystra, and took advantage of her protection to keep a large number of male favorites and gave birth to a large number of children who were not sure whether they were hers or "hers", was obviously completely different from the eccentric self who appeared at the beginning, although she had a bad heart but was very decisive in doing things.

In her later years, she really became more and more like her biological mother Mistra, who liked to play with power and status and ended up killing herself.

Her sisters, on the other hand, were so clueless and behaved recklessly from beginning to end.

Lowry didn't think there was anything wrong with those stories before, naturally because those plots were all in service of the stupidity of the plan.

But after becoming part of the multiverse and hearing some obvious variations of Toril's famous jokes from the white dragon, Lori naturally had a deeper understanding of this.

He certainly wouldn't have thought so much about it before, but Lowry cares a lot about Kyle who has gone far away.

Lowry was actually quite familiar with that child.

He really didn't think that the child who was only slightly younger than himself, who was working hard for his future and thinking every day about how to find his own way out in a complex environment, did not exist.
