"Ouch...I'm sorry..."

“Saying sorry is useless. I want you to realize what it means to be our enemy… Uwaa, Anjie!”

"Okay, okay, I told you to cut down on your trash-talking before a fight."

Angelica had no choice but to rush behind Coppelia and hit her on the head with a knife. In fact, Coppelia is the type of person that many people would complain about: "It's obvious that everything is over after she finished off the protagonist, why is this villain talking endlessly?" In short, she is a talkative villain.

If Angelica didn't interrupt Coppelia, Coppelia would even use trash talk to humiliate the people in the temple, and the duration would be at least ten to twenty minutes. Angelica was not interested in listening to Coppelia's meaningless words.

"Come out of the temple. As a genius beautiful girl magician, I am very generous to beautiful girls and will not make things difficult for you."

Although emphasizing that she was a beautiful girl was a meaningless supplement in persuading the other party to surrender, the other party did not seem to care about it. After a little hesitation, he chose to appear from the temple: a fairy with beetle wings.

222 Fairy's Promise

A few minutes later, the fairy who was sitting upright was trembling in front of the three powerful magicians.

"name."

"Sally..."

"age."

"30 is old."

"Measurements."

"Measurements are... eh? Why are you asking for measurements?"

Sally looked quite confused. Since it was Angelica who asked her, she would naturally ask some inappropriate questions. But Angelica was just doing it out of habit. It might be a bit rude to say that. Sally was a petite fairy and was not in Angelica's good range.

Fairies often maintain an innocent attitude. Sally has already reached the age of marriage, but her mental age is still in her teenage years, and so is her appearance.

"My name is Angelica, and she is Anna, over here..."

"My name is Coppelia! Ange is my wife!"

"Huh? You two are actually... uh, wish you happiness...?"

"That's very clever!"

"You... were planning to bury Sally half an hour ago..."

In a sense, Coppelia is very easy to fool. As long as you are willing to follow her in her crazy ways, her attitude will immediately change 180 degrees.

"We are here to explore the ruins of Athlone. Are you the guardian of Athlone?"

"This...should it be considered as such? I stayed in Athlone because of a promise."

"Promise?"

"I have a very important friend. He and I have agreed that he will come back to Athlone to find me when he returns to Tirnano. So I have to stay in Athlone and wait until he comes back."

"How long ago was the agreement made?"

"Twenty years ago."

Sally answered without hesitation. Angelica and Coppelia both realized that Sally was probably deceived. Maybe her friend didn't take the promise with Sally seriously, or maybe her friend was no longer alive and could no longer fulfill the promise. In any case, they didn't choose to meet again for 20 years, so there must be something else behind it.

Angelica would occasionally read novels of the type called "Eating Peach"; generally, the kind in which a childhood playmate grows up and then meets again and discovers that the playmate is a beautiful girl, and there is a secret crush on her... Angelica believed that if two playmates in childhood meet again when they grow up, there would not be such a happy development, and this was definitely not envy.

However, fairies are an exception. If you help them once in times of difficulty, even if it's just a piece of bread and a glass of water, they will remember you sincerely for the rest of their lives. No matter what your needs are in the future, the fairies will respond unconditionally. Even if the fairies' rewards have already exceeded what they should do, they will never complain.

Therefore, it is the nature of a fairy that Sally can remember the promise made twenty years ago and keep it to this day.

Although she felt emotional, Angelica had no intention of helping Sally find that person for the time being. If she met him in the future, she would just keep an eye out for him.

"You must have fond memories of you and your friends here, right? We came here to look for traces left by a magician, with no intention of destroying the Temple of Athlone."

"You want to enter the Temple of Athlone? I know you are good people, but..."

Sally immediately believed Angelica and the others. Fairies are indeed a race that can be easily fooled.

"There are scary monsters in the temple. It will be dangerous."

"We are able to protect ourselves. Anyway, why are you living alone in the temple when there are monsters in it?"

"Because this is the place where he and I agreed to meet again. No matter how dangerous it is, I will not give up!"

What a sincere feeling.

Even Angelica was moved. She also wanted to be liked by the infatuated fairy sister, but there were too few fairy sisters.

After communicating with each other, Angelica easily gained Sally's trust and was led into the temple by Sally.

The space inside the temple is unexpectedly large. No wonder there are always traces of moss outside the temple. It is impossible for Sally alone to clean it all.

Fortunately, Sally was there to lead the way, otherwise Angelica and the others would have to spend some time finding the way. Most of the places inside were mazes designed to confuse outsiders. This was probably the Moon Goddess's evil taste.

"Master, there are marks of fire on the wall."

"Well, I discovered it too."

Anna keenly noticed the charred marks on the walls of the maze caused by high temperatures. From the moment she entered the temple, she was on guard against the monster described by Sally in the temple.

"The temple was built by the Moon God herself. Only a powerful magician can destroy it. Fairies are a race that does not fight with the world. Sally can master Sequence 6 magic, which is equivalent to a powerful magician in the human world who has mastered Sequence 4 magic."

Fairies are a race that does not like fighting. Having said that, their own peace-loving nature does not mean that other races are the same. At least the orcs are warlike by nature and have always liked war. Fairies can maintain this pure nature thanks to the special environment of Fairy Island.

In other words, it is very rare to find fairies that can destroy temples... Angelica thought of the fact that the fairies had mentioned Salamander before. Could it be that the Salamander of Athlone lives in the temple?

"Sally, you said before that there were dangerous monsters in the temple, but we haven't found any yet."

"Actually... I've never seen it either."

Sally, who was leading the way, tilted her head and spoke in a low voice.

"You have been guarding the Moon God's Temple for twenty years, but you have never seen the monster in the temple?"

"Hmm... It's incredible. Every time I fall asleep, the monster appears and wreaks havoc in the temple. When I wake up, the monster disappears again. I think the monster might be very shy, and maybe I can become friends with her. But no matter how I leave messages, I don't get a reply."

The monster in the temple that Sally mentioned was exactly what the fairies outside believed to be Salamander. The walls of the temple that were burned black by flames, and the flames that flew outside from time to time and could burn anyone who approached Athlone to ashes, these clues were completely consistent.

Angelica vaguely understood something, but she didn't say much.

After a while, under the leadership of Sally, Angelica and her group successfully arrived at the great hall under the temple. After injecting magic power, the fluorescent stones in the hall began to glow, making the center of the hall as bright as day.

Coppelia saw a unique prop somewhere in the hall: its shape was similar to the Ark of the Covenant, but in fact it was not a religious ritual item. It was a magical prop used for communication made by the Golden Dawn. Through sophisticated magic rituals, it could generate magical images and communicate over long distances.

Coppelia walked over without hesitation, while Sally was slightly startled.

"You guys gonna use that?"

"Yes."

"That's... something my friend left behind..."

223 Miss Witch and Ancient Characters

Angelica originally thought that Sally's friend was just an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that he was a magician of the Golden Dawn.

Sally said that her friend had a very special appearance, like both a man and a woman, and it was impossible to tell her true gender. Although Coppelia had never seen the person Sally described, she immediately identified that this person was definitely a magician of the Golden Dawn. After all, the magicians of the Golden Dawn were all strange guys.

Unexpectedly, Sally did not object to Coppelia's use of the Holy Ark. She seemed to treat Coppelia as an old acquaintance of hers, and began to entertain Angelica and others more warmly.

Sally invited Angelica and Anna to rest in a small camp in a corner of the palace, which was where Sally had lived for the past 20 years. Fairies would be content as long as they had a place to live that satisfied their basic needs, and they had no habit of preparing for a rainy day or actively making their homes more comfortable.

Sally then went on patrol, a routine she had maintained for the past twenty years, hoping to one day find the monster that was wreaking havoc in Athlone Temple. Although Angelica felt that Sally would never find it, she did not stop her.

Coppelia was tinkering with the Holy Ark and trying to contact the Golden Dawn, while Angelica naturally stayed in the camp and fished.

"Finally I can have a good rest... It's really hot..."

Angelica took off her large magic robe and made the dangerous move of opening her collar. Fortunately, there was no one else here and Anna would not stop her master's unladylike bad habits.

Anna put away Angelica's magic robe and knelt down on her knees so that her master could rest on her lap.

Angelica didn't shy away from saying that if there was anything wrong with it...

"It slightly obstructs the view."

"Anna thinks so too. Just gazing at the sleeping face of her master would make her feel so happy that she would almost ascend to heaven. But now I can no longer see the sleeping face of my master on my lap, which is a little regretful."

Due to the aftereffects of being a subhuman bull, Anna could only vaguely see Angelica's chin when she lowered her head.

"Sure enough, the original Anna is better."

"But at breakfast, the host spoke highly of it."

"Anyway, there's enough magic power. Anna can have as much as she wants, right? I think it's ruining the beauty now."

Anna's figure is of the slender type. In fact, the girls of the Ox tribe are generally plump, so the seemingly exaggerated and incongruous feeling is not serious. However, when it comes to Anna, there is indeed a subtle disharmony.

"Anna doesn't need to change anything just for me. Anna is the best Anna now. My biggest wish is not for Anna to become like the cattle tribe, but for Anna to always be by my side."

Angelica raised her right hand, and Anna understood and hooked Angelica's index finger.

Angelica closed her eyes, enjoying everything in the present moment. She had long given up on actively changing anything, and lived an unknown life in the Misty Mountains. Occasionally, when she got tired of staying at home, she would go out for a walk to witness the changes of the times.

However, the life that Angelica likes is always disturbed by others, such as right now——

"An-Jie-!!!"

"Huh?! What happened?"

Coppelia rushed over aggressively.

"Could it be that they have contacted the Golden Dawn?"

"No, not at all. I haven't contacted Golden Dawn in a long time. I need to figure out what to do. I can't tolerate it! I'm working hard for Ange's dream, but Ange is having an affair on the side!"

"I can't help you much. Besides, since I started to be with Coppelia, it's obvious that my personal time has been squeezed out more, right? I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Every time I sleep, I'm exhausted by you."

Angelica was naturally grateful for Coppelia's assistance, but she couldn't understand why Coppelia accused her of cheating. Angelica basically didn't have time to be intimate with Anna like she did on the Black Rose. Fortunately, Anna didn't ask for it. Only when Angelica took the initiative to contact her would Anna respond cooperatively.

However, Coppelia was an unreasonable person. She still insisted, "No, no! I can't concentrate like this. Ange, you don't want to lose contact with the Golden Dawn, do you?" and pulled Angelica and Anna out of Sally's small camp.

Angelica drooped her shoulders helplessly.

"Ah... I really can't stand that guy. He's jealous for no reason..."

"The master dotes on Lady Coppelia."

"No way, I usually can't hide from her enough."

Anna smiled but said nothing. She didn't think that was the case. When Coppelia teased Angelica, Angelica's resistance was usually limited to words, and she never really used magic.

A qualified maid must be able to guess her master's psychology. Anna feels that Angelica does not dislike the twisted and proactive Coppelia. Usually, it is Angelica who takes the initiative to pursue other girls, but when facing Coppelia, Angelica can become the one who relies on others.

Unaware of the random thoughts in her maid's head, Angelica straightened her back lazily with a bitter look on her face.

"Even if Coppelia says so, there's nothing else I can do...ah."

Angelica caught a glimpse of the wall of the great hall from the corner of her eye, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Anna, come here."

Angelica brought Anna to the wall of the great hall, where they saw some symbols engraved on the wall that had been well preserved despite the erosion of time.

"Does Anna know what this is?"

"It's not a symbol...it should be a word?"

"So smart, worthy of being my Anna."

"The magic of the Common Language cannot be deciphered, so it must be an ancient text. This is the temple of the Moon Goddess... Could it be that this is an authentic work left behind by the God?"

Anna's inference was basically correct, and the rest was supplemented by the knowledgeable witch.

"That's right. Carving words on the wall may seem strange at first glance, but the Moon Goddess Luna didn't build the temple for herself to live in, so it doesn't matter where the words are carved. The ancient text in the Moon Goddess Temple is the common language between gods. It needs to be injected with magic power to be interpreted. However, the amount of magic power injected and how to control it are all very sophisticated. Otherwise, the content that is interpreted may be a piece of garbled code, or completely wrong content."

The most difficult thing about ancient texts is that sometimes the sentences that are deciphered are fluent, but in fact they may be misunderstandings. Therefore, magicians who can successfully decipher ancient texts can often occupy an unshakable position in the vast empire.

Anna knew that Angelica was not teaching her anything, but was just showing off her ability, just like Angelica would never miss an opportunity to brag about her beauty.

"So what does it say?"
