No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

The girl's voice was clear and melodious, like a wind chime under the moonlight, swaying gently in the quiet courtyard.

Wen Gu, Yue Xi, and the others turned around at the sound.

Suddenly, a figure appeared atop the enormous, withered tree.

The girl wore a light green dress, was barefoot, and her skin was as white as jade under the moonlight. Her long silver hair cascaded down her back.

She held a jade-green flute horizontally in her hand, leaning lazily against a thick tree branch, her cool gaze looking down at them quietly.

The moon shines brightly on her fair face, like jade, and her beauty is captivating.

The elven girl was so exquisitely beautiful that she seemed otherworldly, with an innate coolness in her eyes and brows, ethereal and otherworldly, pure and refined.

Even after reviewing the text, I was slightly taken aback.

However, it was only a moment of surprise.

Having witnessed Mu Zhixi's breathtaking divine beauty, the crowd, though amazed, quickly recovered and lost the shock they felt upon first seeing "Ran".

Spending a long time with Miss Number One will definitely broaden your horizons.

This suddenly appearing elf is the second avatar that Mu Zhixi just unlocked with 100,000 faith points.

She didn't plan to pretend to be a player this time.

Instead of going to great lengths to establish a player's identity, it would be better to have the player appear as an NPC, an orphan of an ancient race, and add to the background story of the Sanctuary Cathedral and the Old Royal Court from an "observer's" perspective.

Incidentally, by subtly elevating the status of "Goddess Ran" further, it also lays the groundwork for the future reveal of the Goddess's NPC panel!

She didn't spend so much time creating those panels and titles just to let them gather dust!

I can't wait to see the reactions of those players!

While controlling the elf princess "Eileen" to maintain a cold demeanor, Mu Zhixi was rapidly calculating in her mind.

To ensure this new persona was impactful and to give her more confidence when directing and acting in the future, she put a lot of effort into developing this character.

[The second most influential person in the world.]

[Background Setting #1: Eileen is the last royal descendant of the ancient Moon Elf race, inheriting the connections and legacy accumulated by the Moon Elf race over several eras.]

[Passive Ability: Lunar Protection - Ignores all magic damage. Under moonlight, gains a shield equal to 1% of maximum health per second. The shield can stack infinitely and will not disappear after leaving the moonlight environment.]

[Passive Ability: Breath of the Night - In nighttime environments, restores 1% of maximum health and shield per second.]

[Passive Ability: Moon's Wrath. In moonlit environments, all attacks inflict Soul Burn, dealing true damage that cannot be healed by conventional means, and all attributes are increased by 1000%.]

Mu Zhixi didn't know if the system would actually implement all the background settings she had written, but there was no harm in trying.

Anyway, bragging doesn't cost anything; the character creation system will take care of turning her boasts into reality.

What surprised her even more was the first initial skill unlocked by this new account.

[Active Skill: Illusion of the Heart. Consumes Faith Points to pull the target into an illusion constructed by the caster, where everything can be freely set by the caster.]

This skill was practically tailor-made for her!

She won't need to waste her breath making up any "ancient secrets" to instill in these players anymore.

They could simply create an illusion, pull people in, and let them "see it with their own eyes" and "experience" the so-called ancient war firsthand.

They would be more convinced by what they saw with their own eyes than by what she told them, wouldn't they?

Seeing that the spirits in the tree were just looking at them coldly, with no intention of coming down to talk to them, Wen Gu pushed up his glasses and lowered his voice.

"Everyone should refrain from making any rash moves."

This elf lady is very beautiful and very clean.

Among the NPCs I've encountered in dungeons, cleanliness is a rather frightening thing.

The cleaner it is, the more unreasonable it is; the more unreasonable it is, the more trouble it causes.

As he spoke, he scribbled something rapidly in his notebook.

"Look, she has the same aura as that earring. If I'm not mistaken, she is the owner of this 'Tear of the Moon' replica."

The incisive observer leaned over to glance at the system's comment and suddenly realized, "Then isn't she looking for that 'trustworthy old friend'? The comment says that old friend was once the forest's most cherished friend..."

Wen Gu paused on the notebook, then looked up at Yue Xi.

"Miss Yuexi, do you remember how His Majesty dealt with those three S-rank knights?"

Yuexi crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her red lips: "She waved her hand, and that was it."

"That's right." Wen Gu's eyes shone with an astonishing light. "That's not erasure, it's more like... a kind of recycling?"

"Those three knights were originally from the Sanctuary. Therefore, Miss Number One has the right to 'reclaim' them in the name of God."

"Combined with the historical records we've seen before, the Old Royal Court rose to power by turning the knights of the Holy Land against the Old Royal Court. And this castle seems to have been taken over by the people of the Old Royal Court..."

Wen Gu took a deep breath and uttered a deduction that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"I suspect that this castle originally belonged to the Holy Church, and was one of His Majesty's properties! The old royal court was merely a usurper!"

"And the crown that the princess lost... it's very likely that it wasn't hers at all! Rather, it was a trophy she stole from the ruins of the Moon Elf race's destruction, or rather, from His Majesty!"

"That's why the number one boss is here! She's here to reclaim what rightfully belongs to her! And this elf lady is probably here for the same purpose!"

His words were logically sound, and the people around him, including Tie Kouzhi and No. 7, nodded repeatedly, finding them very reasonable.

[Hiss—! As expected of President Wen Gu, his deductive reasoning ability is terrifying!]

[They've turned against each other! The princess of the former royal court is such a jerk! My heart aches for my number one beauty!]

So, the number one beauty and this elf lady are actually allies?

Just as everyone was stunned by Wen Gu's analysis, number seven in the team rubbed his hands together and mustered his courage once again.

He looked at the otherworldly elf in the tree and thought of the "Godslayer - False" achievement he had just obtained.

This time, he felt very confident.

After all, no matter how extraordinary this aloof elf lady may be, she should only be an NPC related to Miss Number One.

Just identifying the NPC.

We can't just give him another achievement, can we?

Thinking of this, Number Seven secretly used his Appraisal skill on the beautiful elf lady in the tree.
