dark moon

Chapter 78 High Stakes

"It's nothing, I'm just passing by, you guys carry on."

Blinking, blinking again, looking up at the sky in despair, Shuer felt that the world was so gloomy and there was no hope in life.

But think about it, huh?This is not the one I believe in. The one I believe in is quite normal, at least compared to this one.Sure enough, I felt much better just thinking about it. As for this one, well, let the wood elves have a headache.

"Um, I'm just being polite, please don't take it seriously." After discovering that Anika's descendant actually planned to go back and continue chatting, Shuer sighed tangledly, "Responding to the call of the forest, followers of the Sunless Moon, Soul Wright, the priest of the Dark Moon Goddess, came here to pay a visit to Master Anika. I wish that the forest will be evergreen and the flowers will never wither."

"Oh, it turns out to be you. I asked why there is a human being at my feet. What are you doing here?"

You really forgot, Shuer was too lazy to say anything.

"Ah, I remember. I called you here. You are a friend of the child Moria."

"Moria, when did you go outside to play in the forest? Was it fun?"

"By the way, humans, I heard that Luna's archbishop has returned to her kingdom of God, and now there is a new archbishop. Is it true?"

As expected of a goddess, there is almost no correlation between the three questions. It is hard to imagine what kind of amazing logic can be used to connect them in consciousness.

"Thank you Lord Anika for your concern. Four years ago, Archbishop Summer returned to the Dark Moon, and now Archbishop Lisa is in charge of the teachings on my behalf."

No matter what, Seure always maintained enough courtesy, and his words and deeds were completely in line with church etiquette, making it impossible for anyone to find problems.

After all, you are facing a god that is beyond the ability of mortals to understand. No matter what the other party's attitude is, it is always right to remain respectful.As for the other party's attitude, Archbishop Minnie had actually warned him before the gods arrived just now. Shuer was not surprised by this, but was just a little...well, embarrassed.

"Hey, you are indeed as boring as those wood elves, and you are not as fun as my children." The forest goddess was really very casual, pouting in the appearance of Archbishop Minnie, bending her legs and lying on the ground. She is extremely skilled. From this, no one may believe that this is not her original form.

"Ha." He drew a circle on his chest with his fingers, and Shuer chuckled and bowed, "As a servant of the Sunless Moon, I always represent the majesty of my Lord, so naturally I cannot be rude. I hope you will understand Anika-sama." . But Sir Anika, please feel free to do so, my Lord is easy-going by nature and will not mind your attitude."

"Okay, child of Dark Moon, you can still be considered a qualified priest." Anika waved her hand casually, "The test is over, come and sit."

"Thank you, Goddess, for the gift." Of course, you have to be more respectful in other people's homes. No matter how casual the host is, the guests can't get carried away.Therefore, Xiuer sat formally in front of the forest goddess, with his head slightly lowered, "I don't know what the goddess has ordered when she summoned me this time."

"You really don't know? For mortals, lying to the gods is meaningless. Maybe someone can hide it from the sight of the gods, but I'm afraid you can't."

"Master Anika, I did not lie." If it were an ordinary mortal, or even an ordinary priest, facing the gods directly, I am afraid that he would be too nervous to speak. However, Shuer has never been an ordinary person. , even under the natural pressure of divinity, he could still smile calmly and said, "I really don't know, 'What are your orders, my lord'."

"Ha, word play, it seems that Luna has found a very cunning servant this time, much smarter than the ones I saw 4000 years ago." Anika looked at Xiu up and down with interest. Well, of course, this is just an appearance made with a mortal body. In fact, if she wants to see, she doesn’t need to use her eyes at all. “I heard little Moria mention you in her prayers, Luna’s battle priest. . I told Luna 2 years ago that if she didn’t change her thoughts, she might die at some point. Sure enough, in just 2 years, she has already been on the edge of sleep several times. Haha , you are not the first person to want to revive that broken church in Luna, and you probably won’t be the last either.”

"The Lord's will is what we believers want. Since we serve the Sunless Moon, we will naturally be loyal to our Lord wholeheartedly and do our best to revive our Lord's church." Shuer said with a half-smile, " Sometimes, as long as the method is right, even if my Lord does not change anything, there is still a chance to revive the Dark Moon Temple."

"Like what you are doing now?" Anika was completely different at this time from when she first arrived. She no longer had the original flying spirit and behaved completely like a wise and powerful god.Thinking about Moria's past performance, it seems that even the personalities of the forest elves are so similar to the forest goddess.

"Praise my Lord and offer your loyalty to the Lightless Moon. Naturally, I dare not slack off for a moment."

"It's really interesting for you to praise Dark Moon in front of me." Anika waved to Moria, called her to her side, touched her long hair and said, "I have already given you the gift you gave me. received."

"In the name of Dark Moon, I offer a gift to the Lord of the Forest. I hope Lord Anika will like it."

"Well, I really like it. Although that strange seed has no practical use to me, I saw a unique path from it. For me, this kind of expansion of thinking is precious. . The gods don’t need to hide it from you, so I don’t mind telling you that the ideas I got from that seed are enough to expand my divine kingdom by half. In a few hundred years, my power can also increase by at least a hundred. Ten out of ten. Haha, you have established a strong enemy for your god, how do you feel now?"

"Oh, Lord Anika has never been my lord's enemy. I am absolutely sure of this." Shuer was not frightened at all and said leisurely, "Since Lord Anika likes this gift, then my lord You can rest assured." "Don't be too anxious to rest assured. I'm not referring to Luna, but you. Don't rest assured yet. I have two questions to ask you."

"We are awaiting inquiries from the Lord of the Forest."

"First, I asked little Moria carefully. Although she doesn't know many things herself, I can be sure that from the moment you knew about this seed, you planned to let her carry it and then pass it on to me. That's right. Bar."

"Master Anika is wise enough to..."

"Stop, the oracle is not coming now, and you are not the admonishment, so don't talk so much nonsense."

"Okay." Xiu Er nodded with a smile, "You are right, I did have this plan a long time ago."

"I don't need to ask about common sense things like how you are sure the seeds can be brought back. I just want to know, how dare you bring the seeds back?"

A very simple question, but also very pointed. The key is that Shuer, who is used to deducing plans in advance, never thought that the other party would ask such a question, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"I know all about your experiences in the overlapping space. The encounters of those creatures have clearly shown the danger of this seed. If you are not careful, it can destroy billions of living beings added by Parvati. You knew all this, but you brought it back anyway, and I need to know what you think.”

"It doesn't have any impact on you. Although you also need faith, even if it spreads, the newly born plants have their own thoughts and can still help you..."

"Answer my question, waiter of the Dark Moon." Anika's attitude was obviously very serious.

"Why don't you dare? If it can break through the rules of the space barrier, then it doesn't matter whether I take it or not. If it can't do it, then it won't be able to survive." Shuer said lightly, "And even if it does It doesn't matter if you really make it alive, haha, and you, the Lord of the Forest, are here. Any plant added by Parvati cannot escape your sight as long as it exists. For alien species like this that have not been established, you can only Just say 'You shouldn't exist' and they'll disappear completely, so what do I have to worry about?"

"I have anticipated your answer, and it does match your characteristics, but are you sure? Are you [-]% sure that I can do all this, and am willing to do all this?"

His pupils shrank, and Xiure didn't answer. Lies were meaningless in front of gods. He couldn't be absolutely sure.

"I understand, you are gambling." The forest goddess sighed very humanely, "Bet with the lives of all living creatures in Parvatiga."

"When the winning rate exceeds a certain limit, gambling is no longer considered gambling, my lady. No one can guarantee that you will be [-]% successful in doing something. Everything a mortal does is actually gambling. , it’s just a matter of winning rate and outcome. Facts have proved that I am the winner of this gamble, and that’s enough, isn’t it?”

"This is not the idea that a priest who serves the gods should have. It is more like those dirty politicians among mortals."

"Heh, maybe I'm already dirty enough." Shuer laughed at himself.

"I don't like your idea. I don't like it very much. I don't think Dark Moon will like it either. We have never had any differences in our attitude towards mortal life for thousands of years, so she actually agrees to your plan. , it’s really beyond my expectation.”

After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Xiuer's face: "My lord..."

"Sure enough, she has no idea at all." Facts once again proved that lies are meaningless. Gods have many ways to distinguish the authenticity of language. "You didn't tell her anything you did."

"Haha." Xiuer really had nothing to say and could only smile bitterly. Sure enough, the thoughts of gods are completely different from those of normal people?
"That's it for the first question. Don't worry about the result. This is not an assessment, it's just a question. There is no so-called pass or failure, it's just to satisfy my curiosity. Now I ask you, talk to me directly through the gift, and then ask I made certain demands, and this is probably your plan, and now because of the accident of the seed, the plan has been realized ahead of schedule."

"Yes." This time Xiu Er was wiser and didn't say any unnecessary words.

"If there hadn't been this accident, you must have had other ways to get close to me, but the time is not now. So for the second question, if you want to talk to me directly, the most convenient way for you is to do it through little Moria , so I want to know, are you letting her treat you as a friend to take advantage of her?"

"Yes." After a long silence, Shuer answered.
