Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 760 The Night Priestesses Who Could No Longer Tolerate

"High Priest, we can't take it anymore."

The magnificent temple is entwined and inlaid with flowers of all shapes and sizes: evening primrose, night-blooming jasmine, daylily (forget-me-not), tobacco flower, loofah flower, moonflower, yucca, four o'clock flower, violet, hosta, and cnidium flower surround the half-open epiphyllum.

The temple was so tall that most people couldn't estimate how many of these flowers, which only bloomed at night, actually existed.

This seemingly enclosed hall is actually openwork, allowing the boundless moonlight to spread to every corner.

This is the only place in the world where the moonlight never dims.

Beneath the 53-meter-tall statue of the Goddess of the Night, in a 60-meter-wide hall, more than 100 ladies sat upright in a scattered manner.

Aside from the eternal One, the goddess of the night.

The Church of the Night's legitimate priests include the heads of the 19 main temples and 83 high priests in 66 other great temples scattered throughout other countries and regions.

The Temple of the Night is not the kind of place that likes to appoint a chief priest and a deputy priest.

But they also need to prepare for the future.

For example, the serious topic they had just discussed: the Northern Royal Family had openly accepted the entry of other churches, and the Lord of Storms had also given permission, so who would go and pioneer the new land?

Should we send the high priest who is from the North?

Serious questions like whether her past enemies in the North could affect the operation of this new temple.

Clearly, these problems are not significant now that the Schröder family has completely stepped down.

Although many powerful women in the North leave the country to travel far away, in a relatively stable country where most nobles dare not cause trouble, they still choose to join the ranks of adventurers who can return home whenever they want.

Although joining the Temple of the Night provides personal protection and seems to offer a better future, one must obey the church's orders.

Those with more options are not necessarily willing to join.

Not only do they join, but they also diligently climb the ranks, even managing to enter this main temple. These powerful women from the North must harbor a burning passion within them.

Unfortunately, before she could even unleash her full power, her enemy's entire family was reduced to just two toddlers.

The priestess from the North had been feeling down lately, but she finally mustered the courage to fight for herself today... She didn't want to spend her whole life as a sub-priestess in the Great Temple, where only her followers obeyed her orders.

Besides, after obtaining the identity of the High Priestess of the North, she could also vent her anger... She certainly wouldn't harm children, nor would she cut off their necessities for survival, but it was her duty to prevent the Schroeder family from having more and stronger power.

No one would argue with her about this.

Even those who do not have their own temples are waiting for future opportunities.

The goddess of the night always hoped that she would have 68 official temples.

But the scale of the temple is what it is... Even the countries under the jurisdiction of the Church of the Night can only support the operation of two great temples at most.

For the remaining two, we can only hope for the Northland and the Icefield.

The northern region is alright.

The ice field... naturally led everyone to discuss the problem brought up by Sophia.

"Most humans like to use outward weakness to mask their lazy hearts." The High Priest of the Night, sitting at the foot of the statue, spoke coldly. "In the past, for the sake of my Lord's rights and the greatest interests of women, we could not tolerate such a lazy mentality appearing in the open, nor could we allow those who used such means to rise to power."

One of the reasons why the other gods tacitly approved of the priests of the Earth Lord's attack on the grassland kingdom was that the Goddess of the Night had an extremely firm will.

That's why no deity intervened to stop the massive attack that spanned thousands of miles.

But things have changed, everyone.

She sighed, looking at Dark Moon and Dark Night in the hall, whose expressions were either unfriendly or indifferent, but who were clearly extremely dissatisfied with the Icefield Kingdom, and said earnestly, "The world is about to reopen, and people will inevitably be impacted by the consciousness of the outside world."

Rather than letting outsiders ignite the flames of desire in their hearts, we should first keep such things within a certain range.

"Didn't you all keep male lovers before?"

"How can that be the same?" A stunningly beautiful noblewoman held a fan in her hand. "To depend on me for survival, and to want to control me, to become my spiritual master... Ha~"
I keep these handsome boys to keep me entertained, not to amuse myself.

“That’s pointless,” said a haughty priestess sitting opposite her slowly. “Don’t joke around, okay?”

Would you allow a man like that to appear in your palace?

Let's not escalate the topic so much. We all know that things aren't simple with the Ice Kingdom royal family. There are people stirring things up in the shadows, their goal being to secretly diminish the status of women.

Otherwise, when this saying reaches us, it would become "the strong conquer the world, and the weak conquer the strong."

If that were the case, we wouldn't all be sitting here.

These things about the future and human nature that you're talking about have absolutely nothing to do with it.

"I don't care what you're up to this time, we Darkmoon will never allow such a thing to happen."

The High Priest sighed softly: "I just wanted to buy myself a little time."

The goddess... was very curious about the foreign silver moon... and was obsessed with studying its power.

The rest of their energy was consumed by matters concerning the Sun God.

I always felt that the way this news reached us was a bit unusual.

It should be noted that the two Darkmoon warriors stationed in the Icefield Royal Capital reported this matter back half a year ago.

And yet, such 'interesting' news was able to reach our Dark Night's territory so quickly and intact.

We're the experts at spreading rumors!

If you calm down, you should be able to figure out what's wrong with this.

Most importantly, this was clearly not Yu Shui's doing. She knows us better and would never allow the message to be delivered so awkwardly and stiffly.

It will at least be exaggerated to a certain extent.

"Perhaps it's because there's no time?" The noblewoman twirled her small fan rapidly.

"What do you know?" someone couldn't help but ask. "At this point, let's stop playing these 'you know what I know' games!"
Who can accept that everything we fought and struggled for has been so... humiliatingly wiped away?

Can a woman conquer a man?

I just want to stab her to death with this stick! To make her understand…

"This is the main hall of the temple!" the high priest couldn't help but shout sternly. "The goddess could hear us at any moment! Shut your stinking mouth, do you hear me?"

“I’m sorry, High Priest.” The woman immediately stopped talking. “I was just a little too angry.”

After all, I come from the icy plains.

Women on the icy plains, because they fear the cold more than men,... have a difficult time.

Unfortunately, awakening the Knight's talent requires a certain level of physical fitness.

With a weakened body, how could it be...?

Otherwise, so many noblewomen wouldn't have joined the Church of Ice.

Rather than being treated as a burden and casually dumped on some man to be abused, it's better to abandon reason and emotion and become a slave to ice and snow.

At least the Lord of Ice truly only wants his followers to die for him.

The female knight sitting in the back of the main hall had a slightly sad expression on her face: "Although many people hate and despise the Lord of Ice, the women of the Ice Plains are truly grateful for his existence."

As an unpretentious evil god, anyone who sincerely prays to him and is genuinely willing to risk their life for him will be accepted.

This is the Icefield Woman's last trump card.

Yes, there is a guarantee that they will not be manipulated at will.

Although they will still be assigned some things they don't want to do, at least... no one dares to go too far.

The same applies to the Ice Nobles.

The Lord of Ice never cares whether those who offer their faith and loyalty to him have been driven to their deaths by his own followers; he will take them if they exist.

It is precisely because of this bottom line that people like me, who have some talent and courage, are able to leave the ice field and pursue their own future.

The women of the icy plains actually understand these principles very well.

Power has always been something that I, and we, fought for with our lives.

If Sophia's theory really takes root in the Ice Plains... would the girls sent for arranged marriages still fight desperately for that pride?

Anyway, she can still conquer that old, ugly, or cruel man with her beauty and wisdom!

By then, what status will women have left?

Power has always been the reward for violence.

She held her head high, her icy blue eyes burning like flames: "I walked out of the country with my head held high back then, and of course I can rush back to fight without hesitation!"

“I know,” the high priest said reassuringly, “it hasn’t come to that yet.”

Don't underestimate the methods of Darkmoon, okay?

The noblewoman suddenly chuckled: "Indeed, among the two Dark Moons in the Icefield Kingdom, one is a troublemaker favored by the goddess, and the other is a trusted strategist of the Dark Moon priest."

There must have been a reason things got this far!

The Dark Moon Priest looked at her coldly: "They do nothing, and there's only one reason... Do you have a problem with that?"

The lady immediately shut her mouth, remaining silent for a long while before asking, "Now, can you move?"

"The goddess would do this because of the Lord of Ice," the high priest replied calmly. "And he certainly did not betray the goddess's trust."

The Dark Moon Priest calmly said, "Actually, dealing with Sophia, or even Rosalind who watched her do it, is not difficult."

Just kill their men.

"Men conquer the world?" She gave a chilling laugh. "They can't even conquer their own little hill."

“No, Alex is still useful,” the noblewoman replied immediately.

"Just tell me, your Dark Night faction can't afford to offend the White Dragon King!" the Dark Moon Priest sneered.

"Can you afford to offend him?" the noblewoman retorted. "Now, he's about to step down from the throne!"

Rather than saying that his status as the King of the North made him incomparably noble, it would be more accurate to say that it was the shackles that bound his behavior.

"While the Queen Mother of the Icefield is still alive, there are some things it's best not to do."

The Dark Moon Priest hesitated for a moment, but then chose to back down: "Then, shall we make our move against Sophia first?"

“You’ve gone astray,” the High Priest said gently. “When we’re chasing evil, if we accidentally hurt someone, that’s the price we pay for pursuing justice.”

However, one must never decide to attack unrelated individuals before taking action.

The ladies in the main hall all had somewhat strange expressions.
