Pray for the moon and sacrifice to listen to the destiny of heaven, and the world is unpredictable and infinitely future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is an ancient age, before the concept of kingdom and rule was born, primitive people formed scattered settlements, and all major matters involving the whole would be decided by a few elders and priests. The position of the sacrifice in primitive societies was very important, because it was a profession responsible for communicating with the gods, and there would only be one official sacrifice in each settlement, and at most some auxiliary training sacrifices would be added, and even if the tribes were merged, only one main sacrifice would be retained at the tribe that was the main body. The Moonlit Forest was almost the last place of the Moon Prayer Settlement in the Northern Yuan Continent, so Twilight never thought that the main sacrifice of the Moonlit Forest she saw would be like this.

As with other rituals, the shape of the crescent moon was painted on the forehead with silver-white paint...... It was a sacred sign that was the opposite of the Blood Moon Mark, and she wore a necklace made of white gemstones, but that couldn't hide that she was just a girl who didn't look much older than Twilight. When Tsuki and Twilight found the young priest in the Bright Moon Forest, she was kneeling down in front of the trunk of the fallen Moon Prayer Tree, whispering some ancient greetings for the dead.

Suhui stood quietly in the back, patiently waiting for her to finish this prayer before leaning in and whispering back to the previous situation. After listening to Su Hui's report, the girl in the silver-white animal skin coat finally looked at Twilight Xue who was standing aside...... Even Twilight didn't recognize what kind of beast's fur it was made of, but when the other person's eyes looked at it, Twilight instinctively felt a terrifying chill, as if she was being targeted by a vicious beast, and almost couldn't help but retreat.

The girl in front of her didn't speak, she just looked at Twilight, her eyes were as oppressive as a sharp blade, and after a long time, she seemed to smile meaningfully: "How did I not know that the tribes in the south began to send children who have not yet grown up to be messengers across the sea?" ”

"I don't know when the tribes of the north let such a young girl be the main priest." Twilight frowned slightly, and fought back mercilessly, her cowardice only made people more suspicious, and she couldn't say that she was sneaking here for her own purposes, "I don't think that's the point. ”

"Indeed, this is not the crux of the matter." The girl who was the main priest looked at Twilight Snow and didn't know what she was thinking, but she quickly nodded and made a courtesy of hospitality, "The main priest of the Yaoyue Forest, I don't know what to think." ”

"The messenger from the south, Twilight." Twilight also responded with formal courtesy, she didn't need to recall at all, and directly reported the list of successful people who had crossed the sea by memorizing it before, and also explained the specific process of their encounter with Xin Yuren, and when she mentioned this, she noticed that Ao's face was a little strange.

"You've met those weird ...... too" Twilight couldn't help but hesitate at the thought of the Xin Yu man on the back of the Ship-Beast, but finally didn't directly say the word demon, which is definitely quite insulting in the Moon Prayer culture.

Although the words are not finished, the meaning is clear.

"Are they...... Indeed, there have been incidents similar to those killed by unidentified creatures in the course of the previous escape. Echoing Twilight's conjecture, "Walking in the Void and harnessing thunder and lightning caused a strong panic among most of the people. Many people believe that the three moon gods have decided to join forces to sanction the world, the great goddess of frost has plunged the world into the cold, and the Death has sent a thunderchandler to start slaughtering the evildoers, and the only one who has not shown obvious signs before is the moon god of fire, or rather, until not so long ago......"

She pointed her finger to the sky, and everyone knew what it meant. That magnificent rain of fire was the last straw that overwhelmed many people's psychological defenses, and they believed that the long-awaited fire moon god had finally made a move, and the final end was about to come completely.

"You should know best whether the gods are angry or not." After listening to this analysis, Twilight couldn't help but admit that it did sound very reasonable, and even she couldn't help but believe it, but as a sacrifice, the girl in front of her should know something.

However, after she said this, the girl named Ao Kun had a suspicious pause, and after looking around, and seeing that the attention of the others nearby was not here, she seemed to whisper with some weakness: "Will the sacrifice be answered by the gods?" ”

“…… Yes? ”

"Aren't you curious why Yaoyue Lin has such a young main priest?" Suddenly interjected was actually Su Hui, who had been silent since just now, and he said coldly, "The original priest thought that the anger of the gods needed sacrifices to calm down, and he discussed with several other sacrifices that he was willing to let them bear the wrath of the gods, or at least reduce some material burden for the tribe, so he took the initiative to move forward to a colder place in the north, whether it was to investigate the cause or find the gods......"

Twilight gasped, she now fully understood, and even her crescent-shaped pupils suddenly dilate, "What do you mean ......?"

"Grandfather went to find the source of the calamity and tried to quell it, while entrusting me with the responsibility of the tribe's sacrifice." The snarky woman who had looked strong before finally showed a hint of sadness at this time, and her fingers clenched hard, "But maybe I'm not qualified enough as a trainee priest, and I've never really received a revelation from the moon god." ”

Everyone knew that it was too illusory to seek forgiveness from the gods, and that the old priests had left with only a small ration and had disappeared in the snow for so long, that the final fate was probably obvious without being spoken.

"I'm sorry...... I didn't know it would be like that. Twilight sighed softly, she couldn't help with the problem she was struggling with, not to mention that she was looking for it herself, "But if you tell me this kind of thing directly, aren't you afraid that I will accidentally reveal it and cause panic?" ”

"They won't believe it." He shook his head, the sadness in his eyes faded, and he regained his indifference, "Or I can't believe it." ”

I can't believe it, it is, because if this news proves to be true, then it means that the gods have most likely abandoned them completely, which will lead to an even more desperate situation for them.

"But speaking of which, my mother once crossed the sea to come here, I wonder if there is any news of her now?" Twilight was silent for a moment, then cautiously brought it up, it would be better to get information from the priest than to aimlessly search for it among the crowds.

"What's your mother's name? If it has anything to do with the southern land, then I should be impressed. Looking at the traces of the collapse of the huge prayer moon tree in front of him, he said helplessly, "But the specific life and death may not be able to be judged immediately, and you have also seen what happened just now." ”

"Thank you for your help anyway." Twilight felt her inner turmoil grow stronger, and she realized that her palms were even oozing sweat from the cold wind, "Well, my mother's name is Yumo. ”

As soon as she said that, she felt something strange, not only did she suddenly look very strange, but even her eyes changed suddenly, and she seemed to look embarrassed, which made Twilight feel very wrong, and she stared at her until the other party finally couldn't help it.

"First of all, I can tell you very clearly that your mother is definitely not within the scope of the disaster caused by the fall of the Prayer Moon Tree just now." She still looked at Twilight Snow with that strange look, her voice was soft and pleasant, but her tone couldn't hide the embarrassment, "As I told you before, most of the sacrifices in the tribe have headed north......"

"Wait, do you mean ......" Twilight took a few steps back, her volume involuntarily amplified, she stared at Aokun and Suhui deadly, trying to make out the negative expression on their faces, but it was clearly in vain, "My mother is in those sacrifices......

She nodded, shattering Twilight's last bit of luck. How ridiculous, just now she was still feeling sympathy and sorry for what happened to the other party's grandfather, and in the blink of an eye, she found that her mother was facing the same situation, and the world was changing mysteriously.

"Yumo is indeed no longer in the Shining Moon Forest." Suhui whispered, he seemed hesitating about something, "Although she is not as old as the other priests, she also intends to find out the real cause of the disaster. I'm sure of that, and before leaving, she brought a few monkey cheek thunders...... Ah no, the fruit of the Vulcan Tree. ”

"It feels like there's something strange mixed in, but I get the general idea." Twilight bit her lip slightly, suppressing her emotions, "Does that mean my mother has specially prepared weapons to defend herself, and she has taken the initiative to find the root of the problem and try to solve it?" ”

It's not just about dying, it's really good news.

"That's pretty much it." Gloomy looked at Twilight and said, "According to what she said when she left, there wasn't a single monkey gloss in this world...... Ah no, the Vulcan Tree Fruit can't solve the problem, if there is, then two. ”

“…… Still feel like something strange has been forced in. Twilight took a deep breath and bent down slightly, "Thank you very much for your help, but I'm afraid I'll have to continue north to find my mother's whereabouts, and staying here won't help me anyway." ”

"Wait a minute." Su Hui suddenly spoke, he seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at Ao Ku, with a pleading in his eyes, "Sacrifice Lord ......"

She closed her eyes slightly, and at this moment, the girl who was not very old seemed to be a little overwhelmed: "Do what you want." ”

"Thank you very much." Suhui thanked him in a low voice, then turned to look at Twilight, "I'll go with you to find the real cause of the change in the north. ”

"Ah...... Yes? ”
