Huh? Are they all real?...

“If I remember correctly, this season is when the Yana geese fly back to the Old World. Although it’s a bit strange that there’s only one flock, it should be normal, Your Majesty, because at least in my opinion, those Yana geese are just geese.”

Moen, however, kept his eyes fixed on the flock of geese and said:

"But there are seven of them."

Seven is the sacred number of the prophet, and also the sacred number of the firstborn son.

Chapter 228 The Goddess Selene Invites Lily (3k)

The vast vampire castle marched towards Seven Hills.

This made many outsiders who remained in Qiqiu nervous.

They feared that war would break out again in Seven Hills.

Because their information network is far less advanced than others, they are just a group of ordinary people.

Fortunately, they soon discovered that the dwarves were not nervous at all; on the contrary, they were very excited and making preparations that seemed to be for their welcome.

What does it mean?

When did dwarves and vampires become so friendly?

The King of Turin and the King of the Moon are both long dead!

Out of curiosity, someone stopped a dwarf soldier who was hurrying by:

"Hey friend, can we find out what happened?"

"Ah, the Moon King has returned, the dwarves' friends have returned!"

After saying this, the dwarf who had been pulled away quickly left, leaving behind a group of passersby who were gradually becoming disheveled in the wind.

After a long while, they looked at each other in disbelief.

What? The Moon King is back?

Wasn't He already dead?

How come they came back without making a sound?

The passersby found it hard to believe that a supreme being could return so easily, but then they thought that it made sense, considering that the dark moon had driven away the daylight.

But what exactly happened?

First, Saint Constantine reappeared in Baratheon, and then Duke Trajan, who was famous twenty years ago, also returned.

And now, the Moon King, the hero who ended two eras, has returned.

Is something big about to happen soon?

Otherwise, why would these ancient beings return one after another?

Although it was a good thing that the Seven Hills would not have to fight again, the series of rare events made these ordinary people, who had just witnessed what the gods were, increasingly worried.

The vampires' moving castles were all moored on the horizon outside the iron gates.

Greeted by many dwarves, Moen led Selene to the iron gate.

To be honest, this was the first time Moen had ever stared at the iron gate up close.

Even in the game, he could only watch as his best friend left behind this.

Last time, after stabilizing the situation, he also didn't come to check on things.

As soon as Moen looked away, Selene, who had been clinging to his arm and unwilling to let go, took the initiative to release his hand.

Then, amidst the dwarves' astonished gazes, he stepped forward.

The leading dwarf elder was the one who wanted to speak.

He was horrified to see the goddess bowing and apologizing to him.

This caused all the dwarves to gasp and scatter.

They didn't understand why the goddess would act this way.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

The dwarf elder, who had dodged the attack, asked in surprise.

The goddess Selene lowered her head and said:

"I am the last witness to our past friendship, and I should be the guardian of this friendship. I am sorry that I have been absent until now."

The dwarves fell silent, while the vampires bowed their heads.

Even after the departure of the two kings, the dwarves remembered the friendship between them and the vampires, and every year they would send envoys to visit the vampires scattered throughout the land.

However, the vampires gradually became arrogant and chose to ignore this.

Because they felt that the dwarfs were trying to climb onto them.

After that, the dwarves stopped coming.

The friendship between the two races began with two kings and ended after their departure. Now, although only one king has returned, the friendship between the two races, which had been broken for countless years, has finally been rekindled.

Moen, in response to the goddess's apology, also stepped forward a moment later and bowed to the dwarves before him, offering the same greeting:

"I'm also very sorry that I'm only just returning now; I haven't been able to properly fulfill my friend's request!"

After their initial surprise, the dwarves bowed in return, saying:

"Your Majesties, the fact that you two have returned is enough for us!"

The dwarves had no right to criticize the two supreme beings. Not even the goddess Selene, because everyone knew that for a god, losing his queen was practically the same as being dead.

Or rather, a god who has lost his king is worse off dead.

Therefore, the dwarves never felt that the absence of the goddess Selene was a problem, even though she was already suffering greatly.

They didn't even notice the alienation from the vampires.

The friendship between the two races is essentially the friendship between two kings.

They are well aware of this.

Realizing this as well, Moen smiled with relief and pulled up his Selene.

"Thank you."

"Your Majesty Vlad, let's not talk about this now. Let's go inside quickly; everyone is waiting for you!"

Amidst the welcoming dwarves lining the path, Moen finally led Selene into the Seven Hills.

Having heard that two supreme beings were visiting, Moen saw not only the residents of the Seven Hills coming to worship.

He also saw many airships coming from all directions.

Clearly, those with good connections had dispatched messengers urgently.

Moen could only smile helplessly at this.

It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will continue to be like this in the future.

Because we are welcoming the Supreme One, and nothing else.

So when Moen brought Selene over, both the dwarven soldiers responsible for maintaining order and the residents of the Seven Hills on both sides knelt down to pay their respects.

There were no cheers, no disturbances, only utterly quiet and devout worship.

And in stark contrast to this tranquility, there was an overwhelming grandeur.

However, as Moen led Selene forward...

He saw a beautiful figure in red at the end of the road.

The other party had obviously learned the news and hurriedly made their way through the crowd and streets to arrive here.

So the bright red dress slowly descended through the mist.

She was still wearing the same red evening gown as last night, but this time, she finally brought along the moon-white longbow that she had been unable to pick up since acquiring the Seven Hills.

In the silent worship of countless people.

Lily and Moen finally made eye contact.

Although she already knew, Ms. Lily only smiled with relief after seeing him safe and sound.

She raised the corners of her mouth, lifted her skirt, and gave an elegant bow.

The bright red dress began to flutter in the wind.

At this moment, she was the only one who could rival the goddess's dazzling brilliance.

In response, Moen smiled knowingly and returned the greeting from afar.

Lily and Moen both thought that their encounter was just a minor incident and would end there.

But Selene, who had been holding Moen's arm, began to carefully examine the elven girl.

Selene stopped when she and Moen walked up to each other.

And he extended his hand towards Lily, who was preparing to kneel and pay her respects, saying:

“My husband has never chosen Tingchen, nor has he ever been so close to any other girl, so, little elf, tell me your name.”

Amidst the shared astonishment of Lily and Moen, Selene, who had extended her hand, smiled and said:

"Then please stand behind me."

The difference between mortals and goddesses is too great, so goddesses simply don't care what the other person is thinking.

All she needed to know was that this was the only girl her husband was so close to besides herself.

Her identity as an elf? It doesn't matter.

Could she steal her husband's love? Nonsense.

The goddess only wanted to help her husband win her over.

So Lily only felt the goddess's kindness and the crowd's admiration.

Although the other party is a noble elf, and judging from the length of its ears, it is an even rarer and more distinguished high elf.

But how can that compare to serving the king?

As Lily looked at the goddess's outstretched hand, she knew that if she was willing to grasp it, she might directly ascend to the pinnacle of this world—no, to the pinnacle of both worlds.

He became a figure of great esteem that other transmigrators could only look up to throughout their entire lives.

And isn't this what I wanted?

The gap between ordinary people and kings is too big, but so what?

She just wanted to follow behind that gentle person; that was enough!

Instinctively, Lily raised her hand.

Meanwhile, Moen, who had been silently observing, had his eyebrows twitching wildly.

Ansa's hair ring was still hidden on her chest, and Lily carried the longbow she had given to Rose Lorian on her back!

Who knows what will happen in a moment?

So what should I do?

In public, he embraced Selene again?

That doesn't make sense either. What about Ms. Lily?

And why do you look like you really want to say yes, ma'am?!

After a brief moment of surprise, Moen carefully recalled the events and felt puzzled.

Hasn't the allure from the vampire been dispelled?

So why would you, an elf chosen one, want to accept an invitation from the Outer Gods?

Amidst Moen's rapid contemplation and the goddess's benevolent waiting.

Lily, who had already raised her hand, suddenly looked at Moen.

After a moment, Lily withdrew her hand, then lifted her skirt and curtsied, saying:

“Your Majesty, please forgive my refusal, for I cannot grant your request. As for my name, it is Lily, Your Majesty.”
