Witch, don't be so lazy

Sutur turned around twice and couldn't help muttering, "Forget it, I guessed it a long time ago. At least I can use my residual light to a little bit, and I won't stay in the underground waiting to die. It's not bad to see the new Northland."

The hero's gaze shifted to the old man.

"Commissioner Hans, although I suspect my superiors will definitely want me to go to Pandgar, I must first go to Black Rock City. Oh, and when you report or write a personal letter, please remember to thank His Majesty Qina on my behalf. Otherwise, I'm afraid that after I go to the capital, I won't have the chance to see him again for a while."

Hans straightened his robe and said, "Okay, I will convey the message truthfully."

Then there are the half-elves.

"...Little Kunda, remember to thank Her Majesty Maglia for me. Thank you for singing my lullaby for so many years. I hope your magic creation and advancement will go smoothly."

Kunda nodded and sighed, "Okay, I'll make it clear in my report. Thanks for your kind words, although I'm sure it will take some time to prepare for my promotion."

His face was no longer so sad at this moment.

At least it's a return from playing rock music at the top of one's lungs in the biting cold wind to playing a farewell song elegantly and quietly.

At least he had thwarted the conspiracy of the Well of Silence, killed the apostle on the opposite side, and his magic had also improved. It was a very good ending.

Then there is Momo.

"Xiao Momo, Xiao Xiao Hui, I'll go back to Black Rock City with you later. I haven't seen Lord Kumo for a long time. I also want to visit some of Qi Luze's tombs and descendants, and meet An Luosi by the way. Oh, is that fool still alive?"

Sutur might be in a good mood, even his choice of words and sentences have obvious changes,

"Mage Anros... passed away twenty-eight years ago. He sought an opportunity to ascend to legendary status, but tragically died while exploring the spirit world."

Qi Luze and An Luosi, the elders of Black Rock City, once fought against the Southern Monster Alliance together with Sutur.

The former had died more than two hundred years ago, killed by the legendary monster Dark Spider Queen; as for the latter, Sutur had seen the other's image during his last awakening, but he didn't expect that he had been isolated from the world forever.

"...I see. To think that the one who was dying first was the last to survive. Fate is truly unpredictable."

The great hero sighed, his words full of regret.

Only at this time can one see the scars left on him by time.

Finally, the girls.

"Little Anke, as a half-teacher, I really want to see you complete the magic test, but I guess that's not possible. However, you will definitely be able to reach Pandgar and enter the Tower Academy. This is unquestionable. We can meet again then."

Sutur looked at Anke and said softly, "You must practice hard and not slack off. Whether you like it or not, you are now the descendant of the dragon-slaying hero. You can't let my reputation slip away. Otherwise, I will be very sad. I might even nag you until you feel dizzy."

...Are you Tang Monk from another world?

I am not a monkey, I am a cute little pigeon.

An Ke thought about it for a while, then came to his senses and nodded heavily.

"Of course, I am also honored to inherit your Flame Demon Sword, and I will definitely not let your reputation down in the future!"

……

Literally, the song is over and everyone goes their separate ways.

With Kunda's song "Voyage to the Babujili Strait" and the sincere farewell of the southern coastal sailors to their relatives and friends, the affairs of Asda City officially came to an end.

The people in the song and the people in reality all go their separate ways.

Just as agreed.

Sutur will go to the Black Rock City first, and then go to Pandgar. Oh, he also said that he may have to go to the Winter Bone City on the way.

Momo and Xiao Hui took the sealed vampire and led the hero back to Black Rock City.

She will have to recruit students in other places later. In two months, she will have to travel to many cities. She doesn't know if there are any new candidates. Anyway, Hahn, the new fat wizard in Asda City, is no longer a hope. Lengku Momo thinks he is not qualified.

But Wenrou Momo also said that she would come to accompany Xiao Anke during the magic exam, and then wait until the Tower Academy issued the admission notice, and then take the qualified people to Pandgar.

Hans left too.

He said that he would continue to go back to Shell City to check on the reconstruction matters, and at the same time try to follow the clues to find more bases of the Wuguang Society. However, he also said that he would come to see Encore after the Demonic Test was over.

Miss Anke was touched for a moment, but her face quickly turned black when the old man shamelessly asked for a thousand gold coins. However, considering that Hans would write a letter to the "Almighty Man" to recommend her, and she happened to have some money, she finally gave him nine hundred and ninety-nine gold coins after a fierce verbal battle.

Kunda didn't leave.

But he also had to go into seclusion, not to prepare any plans or to go fishing, but for his own practice.

He refused to stay underground any longer, and simply threw the decomposed skeleton dragon down, coordinating with the magic circle to sink -

This thing is actually very valuable and can be made into a third-level golem, but the wealthy and kind Momo said that dust to dust, earth to earth, let the remaining earth energy in its body return to make up for the excessive energy loss in Asda City.

The half-elf gave Anko a token, which allowed him to enter and exit the lord's mansion freely. In the future, if he wanted to come and play with Snowball or Metal Spider, or ride the giant falcon of Dorondel, he could just come in by himself.

Most of the things in the lord's mansion can be used freely, such as the training ground, meditation room, empty rooms, etc., but don't go to the storage room and private concert hall.

Of course, this token can also play a political role in Asda City and be very convenient.

Although Kunda half-jokingly said that Anke didn't seem to need this function now, after all, as the little hero who saved the city of Asda, the descendant of the great hero of the past, and the holder of the Flame Demon Dragon Slayer Sword, she could achieve a more exaggerated effect than the token just by scanning her face.

At last.

Miss Anke returned to her room alone. After feeling sad for a while, she immediately became energetic again.

Although the atmosphere of separation was indeed not very good, to be honest, there was one benefit for her when everyone left. No one was watching her, so she could do what she wanted.

Old things are over and new things are about to begin.

While improving my magic proficiency was certainly on the agenda, the most important thing right now was—

Spirit world, start!

Just kidding, I need to get some sleep first and refresh myself before heading to Moonlight Glade to hunt for food.

Chapter 155 Inside Story

The quiet night sky, the eternal full moon, lively and cute animals are playing on the lawn, beautiful maids are sitting around the flower beds praying, their white dresses cut from the clouds, waiting for the gods to bestow new blessings.

This is the description of the Moon Wonderland by the former Laurel Dynasty, and it has been passed down among the elves to this day.

At first glance, it sounds like a hazy fantasy, but in fact it is an extremely true portrayal.

However, in today's Bauhinia Dynasty, not to mention the Moon Goddess's followers, there are not even many elves who can enter the Moonlight Glade.

There is only one divine attendant surrounding the flower garden.

After trying for a while, the old honey badger decided to end the ceremony, and the moon between his eyebrows gradually dimmed.

"I can't find him. I only vaguely know he's still alive. He's very far away."

She spoke in a weak voice, as if she had difficulty even swallowing.

What is even more surprising is that her appearance is very bad, with cloudy pupils, broken claws, and a leg that seems to be lame. Her fur is also extremely ugly, some of it is dense, some is sparse, and some is even bare, revealing large patches of poisonous sores.

Not to mention comparing it with extraordinary creatures, even if it is thrown among ordinary honey badgers, it is the most embarrassing one.

Mary is the current leader of the Honey Badger Clan and the only Luna follower in the Bauhinia Dynasty.

Although she is a fourth-level extraordinary person, it is not difficult to tell from her words, actions and appearance that her condition is extremely weak.

It's not because they have suffered too much damage. Although the Moon Honey Badger does have the magical ability to actively share the damage with its companions, the elves are not stupid. Every Moon Follower who can transform into a honey badger, one by one, eventually becomes a natural school monster with amazing vitality, and all of them have mastered a large number of powerful means of healing and transferring injuries.

But even so, they cannot easily resist the power of time.

Mary is an elf born in the late period of the Old Empire. She has been able to survive to this day as a fourth-level elf because she has used almost all the life-extending methods available within the Bauhinia Dynasty, including those that can be called torture and curses.

She even had to maintain her transformation into the Moon Honey Badger, because once it was lifted, she would die immediately because she could not withstand the horrible pollution and toxins.

And Mary must not die.

After all, if she died, no elf would be able to start the Moon Trial, and would be unable to help the younger generation gain the qualification to enter the Moonlight Glade, let alone try to step onto the Moon Stairs and become the new goddess's follower.

Unless we wait for the Moon Goddess to wake up from her long slumber and bestow grace upon us again.

But the problem is, no one knows whether the one who woke up is still the moon goddess worshipped by the elves.

Therefore, whether it was to obtain the powerful inheritance of the moon, or out of some vigilance considerations, or to use the characteristics of the demiplane to make a ticket, for the elves, Mary had reasons to survive.

Even when it comes to a last resort, for example, when the evolution of the Fairy Tale Island has not yet ended and no new Moon followers have been born, and Mary can no longer hold on, the Antler God will personally go to the "Forbidden Land of Life" and, at the cost of alarming the Ancient Tree God, break off one of His branches to help Mary survive again.

But neither she, nor the other elven elders, nor the Antler God had expected that the Moon Temple would be opened unexpectedly more than two months ago, and that some living creatures would successfully walk onto the Moon Stairs.

But what was surprising was that the other party was not an elf from the Bauhinia Dynasty, and at the same time, he did not look like a devil from the abyss, or the group of phantom butterfly traitors from the old empire.

"The lofty Moonlight Goddess has not responded. She is still sleeping peacefully in her dreams, and there have been no signs of her waking up in the recent past..."

Mary had to gasp for breath every few words.

The owl Milu next to it quickly summoned the small animals around it, began to jump vigorously, and then sprinkled soft moonlight on the honey badger.

But apart from psychological comfort, it has no effect at all.

"That proves that the changes to the Moon Stairs and the temple weren't caused by the Goddess, but by that unknown fairy? Are you sure it's a fairy?"

The gray blackbird flapped its wings, and the invisible force superimposed on the moonlight finally stopped Honeypot's difficult coughing.

Although it is older than Mary and has a higher rank, when it comes to matters involving the Moonlight Goddess, apart from the Antlered God, it is the other party who is the most reliable.

And in front of them, on the towering mountain, in the middle of the vaguely visible steps, a bright white crescent suddenly appeared. From a distance, it felt like the second half of a dim ring.

It is actually a crescent moon, and for beautification purposes, it can also be called a crescent moon crown.

"Thank you for the spell."

Mary gasped and answered the question,

"I think it's correct. Moonlight Glade isn't something you can just enter and exit freely. Freely traveling through the spirit world is a native fairy ability... Although the Snow Owl transformation does have a similar ability, as you know, that's not something you can obtain on the first level."

Elder Gray nodded.

The three followers who initially accompanied the Moonlight Goddess were native fairies, and although later successors could master their transformations, they could only obtain their aura and their respective talents, not the fairies' inherent characteristics.

Of course, as an "unrestrained wanderer", the Moon Snow Owl does have a talent for traveling that is similar to that of the fairy but even more powerful. However, that is something that can only be possessed by a high-level transformation.

"However, the problem is that even if we can confirm that the other party is a fairy, we currently cannot determine its origins. Those who covet the inheritance of the moon are entirely possible to capture and control the fairy, or it may have ulterior motives and try to find and break into the Moonlight Glade to steal the gift left by the goddess."

Mary continued.

Elder Gray and Milu beside them nodded.

There is indeed such a possibility, and the probability is not low.

Kelley was even more blunt: "Its behavior was very strange. It knew we couldn't hurt it, but when questioned, it showed absolutely no reaction. It looked like it had something to hide and was obviously afraid of exposing something."

Even after obtaining the inheritance, the other party had no intention of communicating and ran away directly, or in other words, was rejected by the temple.

That was the temple defense mechanism that the last Snow Owl Clan leader and the former Honey Badger Clan leader joined forces to mobilize through their authority, with the purpose of preventing the hateful phantom butterflies and demons.

Although it is impossible to prevent the other party from obtaining the inheritance of the moon, it is possible to prevent the other party from staying on the steps for a long time and try to prevent him from making any tricks.

The mechanism that had never been triggered for many years finally came in handy.

At that time, Milu and Kailai were still worried that they had scared away the goblin. Only the experienced Elder Gray noticed something was wrong and said that the matter still needed to be discussed.

After reporting to the Deer Horn God and asking Elder Mary, it turned out that things were not that simple.

"And you see, it successfully opened the second level of the stairs. This means that the meditation method it mastered is definitely not just the Crescent Moon, at least from the Crescent Moon upwards. This is not good news."

Mary's brows were furrowed and her voice was hoarse.

"Let's not talk about the Crescent Moon. Due to the search for an heir, this level has been completely opened up. But the Crescent Moon, or the Moon Crown that those Illusion Butterfly traitors ridiculously mentioned, should only be held by the Abyss Royal Court besides us. But they don't need to come here to seek the inheritance. The inheritance of the first two levels should also be in the Dark Moon Underworld in the demiplane. They also stole the unique inheritance of the third level of the Illusion Butterfly. Fortunately, our predecessors discovered it in time and prevented them from taking the pass..."

"Assuming that the goblin is from the Abyss, it went to such great lengths to reach Moonglade. Either it wants to reach the third level of the Snowy Owl and Honey Badger, or it wants a pass... As much as I hate to say this, after all these years, it's possible that the Abyss has been restored from the remaining Crescent Fang to the Moon Wheel. Once they get the pass, Moonglade will no longer belong to us alone, and the exclusion mechanism will be ineffective against them."

"What if, and I mean what if, they obtain the Moon Corona before us and open the temple? If we don't want to lose Moonglade, our only option is to unite with the North and try to awaken the former Winter Witch. After all, in today's world, perhaps only the noble Majesty Malchana still masters the Moon Corona Meditation."

The crescent moon, the crescent moon or the moon crown, the moon disc, the moon corona - in addition to corresponding to the qualities of meditation methods commonly mentioned now, namely low, medium, high, and top level, they also symbolize the level that can be reached in the inheritance of the moon.

Anyone who pays attention will find that if it corresponds to the regular church positions, these are exactly priests, apostles, priests, saints or agents. Although there are huge differences between the two systems, the internal status and degree of grace can be used as a reference.

This is why the changes in the temple and the Moon Stairs are so obvious this time. After all, the status of an apostle is much more important than that of a priest.

As the only witch in the Laurel Dynasty at that time, Malchana was favored by the two gods as soon as she appeared. Even when she was weak, her status was second only to the three fairies and successive elven kings.

The most typical example is that he was granted the Moon Corona Meditation Technique as an exception, which is an honor that even legendary elven wizards cannot obtain.

Facts have proved that this was a very correct choice, successfully allowing the Laurel Dynasty to have another top powerhouse.

However, perhaps just as the saying goes, "Everything that rises must fall," a series of events triggered a terrible disaster, which directly led to the fall of the glorious kingdom and almost caused the elves to be completely destroyed.

"But the problem is, the North probably won't allow us to interfere in their affairs. Furthermore, the Bauhinia Dynasty and the Laurel Dynasty are different after all. According to records, Her Majesty Malchana's attitude during the great upheaval of that year was quite ambiguous... Sigh."

As Mary spoke, she couldn't help but sigh.

Among the creatures present, Elder Gray had a very complicated expression, while Milu and Kailai only had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but they were also in a very bad mood.

The longer the history, the more it is a foundation, but it is also an extremely heavy burden. Those messy things almost make it impossible for the elves to turn over.
