……

The moonlight reflected a white shadow behind the owl's body, and Matthew couldn't see her face clearly, and he could only vaguely distinguish that it was a woman's figure.

She gives people a beautiful, holy, gentle, and reserved feeling.

"Your Highness the Goddess."

Matthew bowed slightly, as a courtesy.

"I'm here for you."

Althea didn't ramble, but chose to smile and get straight to the point:

"You must be wondering why I provide so much help for free, it is because I hope to get your help and even protection in the next troubles."

Matthew bowed his head slightly, expressing his willingness to listen.

"The odd number of days is coming, and Aiindor will usher in the darkest and turbulent period since the Age of Enlightenment, countless evils that were sealed away in ancient times are reviving, and the saddest thing for the creatures of this continent is that it is not only they who are about to fight against the Twilight Creations, gods, and other monsters with their physical mortals, but the gods who fought alongside them in the last dark period are also on their opposite side this time."

Althea didn't shy away from talking about the gods, as if she wasn't one of them.

There was a tender smile between her eyebrows:

"The greatest news for the gods is that the Scourge has departed, and that is the last thing the Seven Saints Alliance and you want to hear. Either way, it is a given, darkness and turmoil are coming, Matthew, it will not reach you overnight, but it is already on its way. ”

Matthew asked in a deep voice:

"What exactly is the odd number of days? How did you know for sure that the Scourge Mage had left Aindor? What if she kills back? ”

Althea seemed to be prepared, and immediately replied:

"The universe operates according to the seemingly impermanent and traceable theorems, and so does our plane, where darkness and light always go hand in hand, and before the Age of Enlightenment, the gods and mortals worked together to sweep away most of the dark things in this plane, but they were not completely wiped out, but they were silently hidden, and they were waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback."

"The odd number of days is such an era, when that day officially comes, so the power of evil creatures will swell to incredible proportions, and the power that symbolizes light will be infinitely weakened according to the law of one and the other."

"As for the natural disaster, it was precisely her arrival that triggered the odd number of heavenly changes in advance, and if it weren't for the unexpected ascension of the Tianlun Palace, the power of the gods would be enough to suppress those evil creations - at least for an additional 1,000 years."

"In fact, we can't be sure if the natural disaster is gone, but for the gods who are weak and dying and have a hundred years of anger, this is the best time, they are ready to unite and do something that is enough to subvert the laws of the world, due to the need for anti-divination, I can't tell you the details of that incident, you just need to know that the next continent of Aiindor will slowly enter an era of turmoil."

"Everyone will be caught up in war and strife, and no one will be immune."

Between words.

There was a faint hint of pity in her tone and expression.

"Them?"

Matthew looked at Althea suspiciously.

Does the Moonlight mean that she is not one of the troublemakers?

"Or else?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in Althea's tone:

"If you are willing to go along with them, why do you think I voluntarily gave up the priesthood of the 'Moon' when I was forced to ascend to the Tianlun Palace, leaving only 'Moonlight'?"

Was Althea the goddess of the moon?

Did he voluntarily renounce the Moon Priesthood?

Matthew knew he had learned something extremely secretive.

"Of course, I admit that I can give up that part of the priesthood in order to better preserve myself in the process of ascending to the Tianlun Palace - that natural disaster has established the rule of "the weaker you are, the closer you are to the mortal world", and the moonlight is the medium that can get closest to the material world, so I have become one of the few beings among the gods who can influence the mortal world."

Althea added:

"But I really don't like what they did, and I didn't participate in the three major curses, and that's proof of that—if you doubt this, you can go to the people of the Seven Holy Alliance to verify."

Matthew nodded.

He was willing to believe Althea, after all, it was not difficult to verify this kind of thing.

"So, what do you want me to do for you?"

Matthew asked.

Althea said calmly:

"I think the madness of the gods is unlikely to succeed, it will definitely fail, it will bring irreversible damage to Tianlun Palace, and I will also be affected by it in the meantime, I hope that if that situation really happens, you can give me some protection."

Matthew was surprised:

"Why me? I'm just a second-order mage. ”

Althea sighed softly:

"The first reason is that I can't find anyone else, with the efforts of the Seven Saints Alliance, the gods are completely synonymous with evil in the minds of people, especially mages, the Moon Hazy Glade has not given birth to new druids for many years, and my influence in the mortal world is declining day by day, and it just so happened that at this time, you appeared in front of me."

"The second reason is, I think you have a bright future, you have Ronan's Patronus in you, I know that guy, he won't waste a few Patronus on someone who has no potential."

Matthew was slightly startled.

He didn't even realize that Archmage Ronan had a constant "Patron Saint" in him!

And when these words came out of Althea's mouth, it could be regarded as a gesture of favor in a sense.

"By the way, Archmage Ronan, is he really trapped in the astral plane? Is this part of the plan of the gods? ”

Matthew hurriedly asked.

Althea blinked:

"It's a topic that can't be said."

"But I can assure you that Ronan's scourge isn't that easy to die of."

Matthew understood in seconds, and he deciphered at least three pieces of information from it:

Ronan is indeed trapped in the astral plane;

This is the handiwork of the gods;

There is a high probability that Ronan will not die.

Matthew groaned.

He combed through all the words of the goddess, and after finding no flaws for the time being, he spoke:

"I am willing to provide you with a certain amount of protection within my ability, but the final interpretation of this protection is still in my own hands, and the extent to which it can be done will depend on how much value you can provide me."

This is very naked.

But it's better to be honest.

When Althea heard this, she was not angry but happy, and she chuckled and looked at Matthew:

"What do you need from me? A young necromancer? ”

Seeing this, Matthew simply asked:

"I wonder how far you can go?"

Althea said with great boldness:

"If you become strong enough in the next Dark Ages, then you can have a wife who was once the goddess of the moon."

"Just a wife?"

Before you know it, Matthew has become a little bit uplifted.

Althea glanced at him resentfully:

"So what else do you want to do? A greedy necromancer? ”

Speaking of which.

Her approachable aura instantly retracted.

An unstoppable majesty pressed straight down on Matthew's chest!

Matthew almost fell to his knees.

"I am the god of the moon, and I cannot be blasphemed!"

Althea suddenly changed into a sacrosanct face, and her eyes were full of disgust and disgust when she looked at Matthew:

"Dirty and weak necromancer, with a mere second-order strength, still thinking about getting involved with the Moon Celestial Maiden?"

"I'll trample you to death like an ant."

said.

The phantasm of moonlight walked towards Matthew.

Matthew's vision seemed to freeze.

Between the spinnings of the heavens and the earth.

All he could see was the white, bare feet on the wasteland.

Those cute and playful toes seemed so dry to him.

"It's a seductive ......"

Matthew shook his head vigorously.

The field of "moderation" has suddenly begun!

But this was not enough to break the charm of the goddess immediately, but instead caused Matthew to fall into a longer tug-of-war.

I don't know how long it took.

He suddenly woke up from that state of confusion.

The back is already soaked.

Lips are extremely dry.

Matthew fell to one knee, panting.

"Phew, the goddess really knows how to play...... It's amazing. ”

Recalling the experience just now, Matthew only felt thrilled, he had a "heart like water", and his will attribute was not low, he was immune to the charm of the fairy princess Lulu and the succubus, but in front of the goddess of the moonlight, all this was almost broken!

God, it's still powerful.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his chest was hot, and when he looked down, it was another message on the believer's badge.

……

"On the eve of the Dark Age, the number of sorcerers on this continent will increase dramatically by a hundredfold, remember to be careful of the Scourge Order, by the way, the will is good, I am satisfied."

……

Sorcerer?

Matthew was thoughtful.

Then.

Possessed by the goddess, Ella finally awakens.

She looked at Matthew, who was kneeling on one knee, in a daze, and said in surprise:

"Matthew, what posture are you?"

Immediately.

Miss Owl's voice became shy:

"Oh, I've heard people say that this is the fixed posture that humans use when they ask for a mate, are you?"

"No, Matthew."

Matthew was made to laugh and cry by her.

He just wanted to explain a few sentences.

But I heard Ella say again:

"At least not until you've mastered the owl's wilderness form."

Matthew was completely stunned.
