273 The man of old, and the god of the first moon

……

Spacious and humble room.

Matthew stared thoughtfully at the red-robed priest in front of him, who had already been introduced to her origin on the way here.

What he didn't expect was that this hermit from the Watcher's Heights also had an extremely amazing background, and even triggered some memories of Matthew!

According to Rhaegar.

Carmela's true identity is that of the "Ancients"—

Yes, she is not a creature of this time, but from an ancient Dark Age, and even more ancient!

For some special reason, Carmela began to sleep in her time, and it was not until decades ago that she unexpectedly woke up on this continent.

In other words, she is a strange person who has slept from ancient times to today.

Therefore, he is called the man of antiquity.

Carmela's identity as an ancient person is not a fiction made up by herself, and she has also been recognized by the Seven Holy Alliance.

It's like Matthew's visitor.

According to the Alliance's assessment, the Ancient Man would not cause much damage to the current world, and Carmela did not show much aggression or related potential.

As a result, she is seen by the Alliance as a partner to work with.

However, after registration, Carmela's freedom of movement is no longer restricted.

And Carmela herself claims to be a believer in the "God of the First Moon".

This appellation is puzzling.

At first, most people who came into contact with Carmela believed that the god of the first moon was the god of the goddess of the moonlight.

But soon.

After reviewing the history, the mages found that they had found no mention of the god of the first moon in any of the books on the Dark Ages.

The Goddess of the Moon has no associated gods or angels to be crowned with the title of the First Moon.

This phenomenon is puzzling.

But at the same time, Carmela did show great strength.

At a time when faith in the gods is on the verge of collapse, very few people can perform magic on this continent, and even the most devout priests can hardly do so.

But Carmela is different.

She had used to perform magic in front of the mages.

These magic techniques are not the lowest level of tricks.

It's a powerful power that rivals a high-level mage in terms of power!

The mages were shocked and confused by this result.

No one can find the anchor of the god of the first moon.

He was like a god in the void, and he cared and didn't pay attention to anyone except Carmela herself.

The god of the first moon only transmits divine power to Carmela alone, and only uses her hand to perform miracles.

Other than that, he didn't make any other moves.

Carmela herself did not show a desire to preach.

This is obviously extremely anomalous.

However, the mages' temptations and experiments repeatedly ran into a wall with Carmela's unmatched cooperation.

In the end, they found no trace of the existence of the god of the first moon in history or in the present world.

As a result, Carmela is an extremely unique presence.

She wandered alone on the continent, living in seclusion.

For her, it seemed that she was looking for nothing but the traces left by the god of the first moon in this world.

She has a withdrawn temperament, an eccentric temper, and does not like to associate with people, but she is by no means a big traitor.

Opposite.

Rhaegar tells Matthew that Carmella is actually a very kind-hearted priest.

She has been secretly helping the helpless and ordinary people, and in this regard, even the druids of the Earth Society dare not claim that they are better than Carmela.

Confronted with Rhaeggar's narrative.

Matthew was only slightly surprised on the surface.

But the emotional ups and downs in the heart are much greater.

Because he knows the existence of the god of the first moon!

The god of the first moon is by no means the god of the goddess of the moonlight, it is the god of creation and guardianship of an extremely powerful magical realm!

The first month.

Evening Star.

Sun.

When these three long-lost nouns came to Matthew's mind.

His heart was full of vicissitudes.

This is the name of the three magical realms in the starry world.

The three are united.

It's the super power of the justice camp in the game he played before he crossed over-

Ether Covenant!

In the previous game, players can choose three kingdoms from the Covenant as their origins, allowing them to gain different backgrounds and natural abilities.

And the evil force that the Aether Star Alliance is fighting against is naturally the Antu Empire that once also inspired Matthew's memories!

In Matthew's impression.

Choosing the Land of the First Moon as your background can greatly reduce the difficulty of the early game.

This is because most of the priests of the First Moon God are very enthusiastic.

Novice stage.

You can even apply for a free Priest of the First Moon, who is several levels higher than you, to help you with the quest.

And as the head of these pastors.

The image of the god of the first moon is also very good.

He is the patron saint of the first moon country, the ruler of the cycle of life and death, and the keeper of the Guiyi Temple.

In the backstory of the Aether Covenant against the Antu Empire.

The god of the first moon appears entirely in a positive image.

Even people like Matthew, who don't know much about the plot, are extremely impressed by the God of the First Moon and the red-robed priest under his command!

"So, the priest of the god of the first moon is judged to be an ancient, and the things I experienced in the game are also ancient?"

Matthew had mixed feelings.

Because he knew something about the god of the first moon, Matthew was not surprised when Carmela refused.

He just cleared his throat, and then whispered with some emotion:

"No fighting, no grabbing, no greed, no love, the world is changing, and I am still the same."

As soon as this statement came out.

Rhaegar certainly looked at Matthew with inexplicable eyes.

But Carmela suddenly jumped up from the ground!

The shackles she wore made a loud noise in the empty room!

"This is the warning of the god of the first moon!"

"How do you know?"

Carmella looked very excited.

Matthew said:

"I also know that the reason why you wear red robes is because red is the color that celebrates life in the teachings of the god of the first moon."

"I even remember shaving their hair and eyebrows to look directly at their true selves as part of the self-purification ritual unique to the god of the first moon......"

But he didn't plan to divulge that much.

He just looked at Carmela calmly:

"You're an ascetic from the Magic Mountain, aren't you?"

Carmela had an even more surprised look on her face:

"You even know about the Magic Mountain?"

"I don't even remember it myself!"

"Who the hell are you?"

Matthew introduced himself unhurriedly:

"I'm a registered mage of the Seven Saints Alliance, a spell advisor in Rolling Stone, and I've just been introduced by Rhaegar just now, and my name is Matthew."

"As for why I would know something about you......"

As he spoke, he paused and began to compile:

"I once visited a magical country in the starry sky in a dream with a highly developed magical civilization, and its guardian was the god of the first moon."

"I stayed in that dream for a long time, but unfortunately I can't remember a lot of the contents, if it weren't for seeing you and feeling the smell of déjà vu, I would have almost forgotten that country."

"Looking back now, it was a wonderful world......

Matthew said with a pun on emotion.

"Dreams?"

"Is it a spell like Blue Yarn Dream?"

Carmela also apparently has a deep understanding of the spell system of the world of Eindor.

Blue Veil Dream is a spell that can make mages wander to the other world, which is indeed very similar to Matthew's description.

Matthew said vaguely:

"It's pretty much a similar spell."

Carmella excitedly asked:

"Then you must know something about me or my identity, right?"

"Frankly, after waking up from that long sleep, my perception of who I am is very vague, and I only have a few specific words in my mind, such as magic mountain, such as ascetic.

But I still don't understand why I'm wearing these shackles, I don't know where my eyebrows and hair have gone, and they haven't continued to grow since I woke up......"

She looked bewildered by the anomalies in her body.

Matthew mused:

"In my memory, in order to express your firm belief in serving the god of the first moon for the rest of your life, you ascetics often perform a ritual of self-purification."

"The ritual is about permanently discarding certain parts of the body as a way to prove one's piety."

"And the ascetics are actually divided into many groups within themselves, some of which are more gentle when they perform the ceremony, shaving their hair, cutting their nails, and cutting off their eyebrows at most;

Other groups are more extreme, even throwing away important parts such as limbs and shackling themselves as a way to express their determination that they will always be slaves of the god of the first moon. ”

Hear here.

Rhaegar couldn't help but frown and interjected:

"It's still too much to say that the god of the first moon, but fortunately, Carmela didn't break her hands and feet, which means that the group she belongs to is not particularly extreme......"

Matthew didn't speak, just looked at Carmela quietly.

The latter was also silent for a long time.

But soon.

A frenzied expression appeared on her face, and then she pulled the robe down with all her might!

Bang la blah.

The priest's robe fell to the ground.

Carmela's thin body was completely exposed to the air.

Matthew's eyelids jumped slightly.

Rhaegar had a shocked expression.

But see that Carmela's chest is extremely flat, and there are two extremely obvious cuts!

It's as if someone cut off her pair of white rabbits with a sharp weapon!

"I remember, I did it myself!"

Carmela's voice was filled with joy:

"Of the 138 ascetics present, I am the only one who is allowed by the true God to do this, and the others are not allowed to imitate even if they want to, because I am the one with the strongest divine favor!"

"I am an ascetic from the Land of the First Moon, the Temple of the Demon Mountain! I am the Companion of the God of the First Moon, the Substitute of the True God of the Starry Sky on the land! ”

"Thank you, stranger, I found a lot of information about my identity!"

Matthew smiled subtly.

He is actually quite curious about Carmela's current situation and origins.

It has been thousands of years since the Antu Empire was destroyed.

Is the Ether Covenant still going on?

Carmela woke up from this continent, and the age of her slumber happened to be when the god of the first moon was still active, does this mean that the continent of Aindor and the starry sky realm are not two completely separate dimensions?

Is his own crossing related to the changes in it?

That moment.

Matthew thought a lot, a lot.

When he came back to his senses, he noticed that Carmela's gaze towards him had become very gentle:

"After I woke up, everyone told me that the god I believe in doesn't exist, but I can really feel his temperature, can you?"

Between words.

She took Matthew's hand with both hands, and a soft light lit up on Carmela's hands.

The huge divine power suddenly erupted like a tsunami!

That moment.

Matthew felt like a little sailboat sailing in the middle of the stormy waves!

He could be overturned by the divine power gushing out of Carmela's hands at any time!

Matthew shuddered all over his body.

But soon.

He realized that this divine power had no ill will towards him.

Warm currents fell on Matthew's skin like a bath.

He could feel the world in front of him becoming clearer!

data bar.

……

"Hint: You have been blessed by the God of the First Moon with Clear Eyes"

Clear Eyes: Your eyes are as bright as jewels and as clear as spring water.

You will have a certain chance of seeing through the legendary level illusion!

When you look at a unit for a long time with the Clear Eye, the latter will likely have a lot of affection for you.

You have been given three times a day of fluoroscopy.

Perspective: Perspective can be seen through obstacles up to five meters thick!"

……

The next moment.

Carmela excitedly let go of her hand:

"I knew you could!"

"They can only accept passive healing, only you can receive the blessing of the god of the first moon, you and I have lived under that starry sky, it must be like this!"

"Maybe the dream in your memory is real, and the world we live in now is a dream!"

I saw that Carmela was a little crazy.

Matthew hurriedly stopped:

"There is some truth in what you say, but it does not rule out the possibility that both worlds are real."

"Since the God of the First Moon brought you to this era of this world, then he must have secretly given you a mission."

"Do you know that although the Antu Empire has vanished, his shadow still threatens this continent?"

Carmella nodded:

"I know, Sturuk Industries, that group of haunting space necrons are still poisoning all beings!"

"It's a pity that I'm still in the process of searching for memories and strength, otherwise I would have joined the battle against the Antu Empire as I did back then......"

Seeing that the other party really still adheres to the hatred of the Antu Empire.

Matthew's mind was slightly calm.

"Do you know how the name Sturluk Industries came from? I have an orc friend named Claire, and Sturluk is actually the home of these orcs......"

At the moment, he told Carmela the truth about the tragedy that happened in Sturuk.

Carmela was even more furious when she heard this.

It took a long time to detour.

Matthew finally hit the railroad while it was hot:

"Sturluk Industries is very strong in this world, on the one hand, because of their own terrifying power, and on the other hand, because they have many evil allies."

"One of their allies is an evil god from another world, and her name is Barbasa......"

Didn't wait for Matthew to finish.

Carmella then aimed at Matthew's stomach:

"The mother of the child in your womb?"

Matthew corrected solemnly:

"To be exact, I was contaminated by her."

"This embryo is a big hidden danger to me, I must precipitate it, and then completely erase the brand of the evil queen!"

"If you can heal Asma and Doreen, you will definitely be able to help me."

Carmella nodded confidently:

"I can help you get the embryos out without hurting anyone."

But in an instant, she showed an embarrassed expression again:

"But I can't send this embryo to a dead person, since you know the teachings of the god of the first moon, you should understand that it is very taboo for us to impregnate the dead, it is a very serious blasphemy......"

Matthew's mind is really hard to deal with.

He tried to follow the temptations:

"But since the embryo is precipitated, there must be a place to go."

"You should be able to feel that this embryo is like a huge tumor, which is bound to absorb the nutrients and elements of the mother greatly during childbirth, and ordinary people can't bear it at all."

"You can't throw it on animals, can you?"

Carmela suddenly looked embarrassed when she heard this.

"There's some truth to what you're saying."

Matthew saw that the roundabout worked, and just wanted to go further.

Who knows at this time.

Carmela suddenly puffed out her chest:

"Or, let me live in the next life!"

"I'll give birth to this embryo, and I'll take all the nourishment she needs!"

Yes?

Matthew was a little confused.

But soon he secretly complained again.

If Carmela is in charge of giving birth, then it will not change the nature of alien reproduction, and Margaret's soul will also be damaged.

At that moment, he had to compromise:

"Otherwise, you are only responsible for helping me extract the embryos, and I will take care of the rest myself, okay?"

Carmella looked at Matthew with a strange expression:

"It's a cover-up."

"The god of the first moon will blame me."

Matthew sighed deeply.

Get.

It doesn't make sense.

He's out of the question.

"Fanatics are people who can't turn their brains, I should have given up trying ......"

Matthew smiled bitterly in his heart.

But at this time.

Carmela suddenly changed her words:

"But if you can do one thing for me, I'm willing to help you get the embryo out, of course, that's all I can do."

Matthew looked at Carmela in great surprise.

Shouldn't the priests of the God of the First Moon be warm-hearted with thick eyebrows and big eyes?

How can this woman still have such careful thoughts?

"Something is wrong!"

"She herself said that this is covering her ears and stealing the bell, then this move must be against the teachings of the God of the First Moon, and using a transaction to destroy this principled thing is more serious than ordinary blasphemy!"

"Carmela is definitely not an ordinary fanatic!"

Matthew became more interested in Carmela's identity.

He even suspected that Carmela was a clone of the God of the First Moon!

But anyway.

The fact that the other person can change their attitude is the best thing for them.

"What do you need me to do for you?"

Matthew asked.

Carmella raised her eyelids:

"My powers are lost in forgotten history, and in order to recover them, I need to go deep into the earth and find that part of the ancient breath and memory."

"Only in this way can I completely recover myself."

Matthew gave Carmela a deep look.

Rhaegar asked confusedly:

"What is she talking about?"

"What are the breaths and memories of the ancients?"

Matthew replied succinctly:

"Tomb robbing."

Carmella said cheerfully:

"You're right, for a long time to come, I'm going to carry out a series of tomb raids to obtain items from the Ancients."

"But I can perceive that there is a very profound danger beneath the land of this continent, and I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with it alone, so I need some help, such as a real tomb robber."

"When I blessed you just now, the god of the first moon told me that this necromancer in front of me is the best person to work with."

"To be clear in advance, I don't want anything from the tomb robbery, I really just want to get the breath of the ancients."

Matthew didn't hesitate.

He decisively chose to agree!

No way, who made him do the same?

The delay in excavating the tomb in the Helen Mountains was also due to the fear of the terrible power under the earth.

Now with a strong partner.

There's no reason Matthew shouldn't say yes.

"Good!"

Carmela had a knowing smile on her face:

"We'll be partners from then on!"

And at the moment when Matthew agreed.

New information has also appeared on the data bar.

……

"Hint: You've got a new side quest "Unexpected Intersection"

Unexpected Encounters: Unexpected Encounters between Ancient Men and Visitors from Heaven will slowly nurture in the earth.

In the course of working with Carmela, the Ancient.

Every third of your breath from the Ancients is gained.

You'll get a chance to strengthen your soul!

Until Carmela fully regains her strength and memory!"

……

Strengthen the soul?

And it's your own?

Matthew couldn't wait to take Carmela to rob the tomb immediately!

It's just that there are some urgent things that need to be done in front of us.

After reaching a preliminary agreement with Carmela.

Matthew hurriedly continued to prepare for Margaret's reincarnation plan.

Although the part of the embryonic precipitation is taken care of by Carmela.

But Matthew still persistently tunes to the crown of the earth every day.

What if one day he has the authority of the earth in advance?

This can also increase the success rate of the reincarnation program.

Meanwhile.

He was also keeping a close eye on Surrell's situation.

Learned through the world event Matthew.

This divine mage has already killed red eyes in purgatory.

Except for Infernal Island.

There were also two or three nearby branch planes that had been blown up alive by Surreel.

Morgan, the Lord of the Nine Prisons, had one of his heads chopped off by Surreel.

That's quite a feat!

You know, Morgan only has two heads in total.

And the decisive battle between Surreel and him was also fought under the watchful eye of the wolves of the outer plane.

Her act of spirit is not without courage.

And the alliance has also recovered a lot of morale due to the frequent good news from purgatory.

At least the gloom caused by Margaret's death has faded a lot.

Matthew estimated.

It's almost time for Surrell to return.

He actually understood the meaning behind the battle between Shurrell and Morgan.

It's not just revenge.

At the same time, it is also saving the morale and luck of the alliance.

Margaret's purgatory, of course, is challenging herself and chasing her limits, but it also represents an external action by the Alliance.

Margaret is in purgatory.

Naturally, the alliance benefits from this.

The Purgatory side knows this, and Morgan's willingness to plot against a junior in person also shows Purgatory's determination to thwart the Alliance.

In this case.

Someone in the coalition has to respond.

Surrell, Margaret's mentor, was the perfect candidate.

Although her action is also likely to lead to an ambush or irritate the nerves of more people.

But overall, it's already the best choice.

Since it's not just revenge.

Then the battle between Surrell and Morgan will definitely end in moderation.

That doesn't mean Surreel isn't bloody.

Contrary.

As one of the strongest forces in the Alliance.

Her most important mission is to make sure that she doesn't get hurt.

"What's more, she has to hurry back to resurrect Margaret......"

Afternoon of the fifth day.

Matthew just said this.

A torn rift in time and space appeared inside the cemetery.

He hurried out to meet him.

But I saw Surrell walk out of purgatory with a heartache on his face.

She had a lot of devil's blood on her body.

It was also the first time Matthew had seen Surrell so ungraceful.

"Where's Mary?"

Surrell asked.

Matthew obediently sent the little blue bottle.

"Teacher, I don't really want to resurrect ......"

Margaret's faint voice came from within.

Who knew that Surrell roared like a lioness who had been stepped on by the tail:

"Mary, you'd better come back to life!"

"This time, in order to help you vent my anger, I consumed twenty-seven gold mines on the first and a half planes!"

"This account must be credited to you!"

"You don't want to die until you pay it off!"

Margaret said miserably:

"Teacher, if you say that, I want to die even more."

Suriel sneered:

"I'll revive you right away."

"Letting you stay in the bottle for an extra second is a waste of time to pay off your debts!"

Matthew listened in amazement.

He thought he had gone too far enough.

But Surreel deserves to be a perfect disciple of Fei Capital.

In this regard.

I still have something to learn!

Seeing that Surrell is about to return to the Alliance with Margaret to resurrect him.

Matthew hurriedly stopped the former and dragged his plan out.

"In this way, Margaret's soul will be preserved to the fullest."

"And she's going to have a lot of talent to work for you, don't you think?"

Matthew asked respectfully.

Suriel pondered for a while, and his eyes lit up:

"The plan you mentioned, except for a little perverted, seems to be really feasible."

"As a necromancer favored by Isabel, you always have some practical whimsy."

Matthew smiled modestly.

Suriel spoke:

"I can erase the stigma of the queen from the embryo, but in the process, Babasha will definitely resist vigorously, because if your ritual is successful, you may then seize some of her authority and realm in this world."

"There's a chance she'll start a realm war because of this!"

"If that's the case, it's hard for someone like me who hasn't been involved in the field to get involved, you have to prepare yourself!"

Matthew nodded slightly:

"I happen to have some friends who are quite proficient in this field, and if Babasha dares to start a domain war, it will definitely not be us who will suffer."

"The question now is, is Mary willing to be reborn in this way?"

There was silence in the bottle.

It's been a long time.

A reluctant voice came from inside:

"Dad...... Father?! ”
