Chapter 233 is the victory of the Holy Tree (4k)

The atmosphere between the two goddesses became increasingly strange.

This even made the glow of the holy tree seem dim.

"So, what are you doing here, noble goddess of the moon? I don't know what this little forest has to offer that's worth your attention."

"Besides, now that the Moon King has returned, why aren't you accompanying him? Is there anything more important than paying attention to your own king?"

Shadow Sun tried hard to suppress her inexplicable irritation. She didn't want to cause too much trouble before finding His Majesty.

But she probably didn't even notice that her tone was still not very friendly.

For some reason, the more she looked at that face that was as elegant and bright as moonlight, the more she wanted to tear it apart.

Goddess Selene raised her eyebrows and said:

"I came here just for my king."

This made Roselorian's brows furrow even more.

She couldn't even tell now whether she was doubting the other person's motives or simply found this person very annoying.

Or is it both?
"I don't quite understand what the relationship is between the King of the Blood Clan and the elves."

"You have a follower, her name is Lily, she carries the moon-white longbow you gave her."

That foreign girl?

Why are you talking about this?
"I remember her. Why did you mention her? How did a stranger get involved with the ancient Moon King?"

Stranger?!

The words of Shadow Sun made the Moon Goddess stunned.

She knew that the girl had drunk the holy water of rest, but because of this, she did not realize that the girl was a stranger.

But this does make sense. No wonder she drank the holy water of rest. It turns out it was for this.

So, does my majesty have any connection with a foreign land?
The original promised destination for the soul?
Up to this point, neither the two goddesses, Roselórien nor Selene, had ever thought that their king would be a human being.

Before there was a prophet who could give a direct and unconditional answer and messed up everything.

It was so shocking that no one would ever think of it, for a king to have multiple gods.

What's more, there is indeed nothing that can connect the Moon King and the Eternal King together.

Sometimes there is only a thin line between truth and reality.

But discovering and breaking the window paper is more difficult than one might imagine.

While thinking, Selene said to Roselorien:
"She is a courtier of my Majesty, and she herself really admires my Majesty, so I come to ask you to give up your family."

"In return, the elves will receive the friendship of the vampires."

Just two sentences made Shadow Sun Roselorian's face look strange.

"How could a stranger have such an experience?"

"I don't know either, but my king does like her."

Suddenly, Shadow Sun caught something key and slowly stood up.

She asked the Moon Goddess below seriously:
"Do you know any more details?"

"for example?"

"Like how they met."

The Moon Goddess, who also realized something, became cautious:
"She is your dependent. I think it would be faster for you to ask her directly than to ask me. After all, I just got back."

Did this woman discover something wrong?

After taking a deep look at the Moon Goddess below, Roselorian quickly recalled the girl's report.

Ever since I sent her out, she has been staying in Qiqiu. It was also the first time that I sensed His Majesty's presence in Qiqiu.

But soon, His Majesty disappeared at the Seven Hills, and she also reported that His Majesty's bow could no longer be picked up.

Logically speaking, that means her entanglement with His Majesty should continue in Qiqiu.

But then, His Majesty appeared in Meereen on the Orsay Peninsula. I rushed there in a hurry, but all I saw was a letter written in blood by His Majesty.

Your Majesty must be in a foreign land and encountered some unimaginable obstacles.

Then, the returning Moon King knew the girl and had a great crush on her?
How did the Moon King meet her?
So the situation is now.

The Moon King had a very good relationship with the girl, so much so that his partner was willing to come all the way to ask me for the girl.

That girl did meet my Majesty at Qiqiu and became entangled with him.

The Moon King should have first appeared when the Seven Hills were besieged by the Pure White Church, and his entanglement with the girl should have also occurred at that time.

However, if I am not mistaken, that foreign girl also had a mystical intersection with my Majesty at that time.

My Majesty has not been able to meet me until now due to some unknown factors, and he can't even say a word to me, and all this must be related to the foreign land.

Finally, the girl sent a new prayer to-day, saying that she could take the bow that your majesty gave me, and that she intended to go to the Old World.

So, the mystical intersection she was supposed to have with His Majesty at the Seven Hills had disappeared?

Or is it over?

After a brief and careful thought, Shadow Sun asked the Moon Goddess below:

"Has your majesty left you?"

This sentence also made the Moon Goddess more alert.

What did this woman discover?
"I cannot understand your question. Why do you think that the king who has returned to me would leave me?"

In any case, Selene felt that she had no reason to let the Outer Gods know the whereabouts of her king.

Seeing her answer like this, Roselorian looked at her carefully for a moment and then said:
"I won't agree to your request, and I won't give you that girl."

My reaction made the woman realize something and she was probably avoiding my question.

However, she should just be wary of this instinctively, after all, I am an Outer God.

Roselórien, who was more like the actual leader of the elves than the Eternal King, quickly reacted to the current situation.

So she directly gave the most appropriate answer that the other party wanted something from her.

If there is demand, then we can leverage it.

"Why? She obviously admires my Zebes. The Eternal King also said that He respects and blesses every elf who chooses a foreign race."

"Yes, my Majesty said that He would not interfere with the choices of our people. However, that girl is not one of our people. She is just a foreigner who has occupied the body of one of our people."

Roselorian directly stated the essence of the Moon Goddess that could not be refuted. The elves would always respect the will of the deceased king, but that was not an elf, it was just a corpse desecrator.

Realizing that this path was not feasible, the Moon Goddess immediately changed direction:

"If that's the case, why can't you give her to me? Since she's just a stranger, she shouldn't be a member of your tribe who needs your love and respect, but a dispensable chess piece. If that's the case, why can't you give her to me?"

"I don't think her value to the elves outweighs my promise."

Roselorien smiled and said:
"You are right. She is not one of my people. I don't need to love and respect her. She is just a pawn."

"But I think she might really be worth my rejection of your request."

Is that girl so special?
The Moon Goddess still refused to give up, because she still wanted to give Lily as a gift to her king.

It was also because she felt that she needed to know more. "Tell me why."

Roselórien returned to the throne of the Eternal King and said:
"First, tell her how you met your king."

Since this was a question that could be asked directly to the followers themselves, after a brief thought, Selene gave a straightforward answer:

"can!"

The elf's iconic long ears stood up subconsciously.

Roselorian felt that she was very close to the truth.

After listening carefully to Selene's answer.

While outlining the connection between these contents, Roselorian asked the Moon Goddess:
"So she met your king outside the Seven Hills, and because of that she followed King Vlad into the Seven Hills?"

According to my memory, that day was also the day when she and my Majesty had their encounter.

"Yes."

"And you also said that you met her for the first time when you brought your king, His Majesty Vlad, back to the Seven Hills? And at that time, she was carrying that moon-white longbow? Are you sure that was my bow?"

"Yes, and I am very sure of it, because it was with the help of that bow that I discovered that she was your dependent."

Roselorian, who had already sat back down, stood up again without even noticing.

She carried the bow, which meant that her encounter with His Majesty at the Seven Hills was over.

Just in time for the Moon King's return?
So, does the Moon King have any relationship with Your Majesty?
As the thoughts and inquiries in the palace became more in-depth.

The goddess hidden in the black veil also stepped barefoot on the branches of the sacred tree.

It is round and smooth, appearing and disappearing, and as bright as the moon.

A masterpiece that undoubtedly comes from an original preference.

And right now, she was standing right under the throne room of the old capital.

Here, the black goddess hidden in the veil can see clearly the interaction between the two goddesses.

It was also when the Shadow Sun was getting closer to the truth and was about to discover that layer of window paper.

The goddess hidden in the veil reached out to the tree canopy and carefully selected and plucked a golden leaf.

After staring at the leaves in his hand for a moment, the leaves wrapped in gold and grace fell down.

Then he disappeared above the palace.

At the same time, Roselorian's cognition was completely biased towards another reasonable inference:

The Moon King, the Sword and Shield King, the Eternal King, and other great men who had passed away appeared and returned one after another.

His Majesty, who should have appeared at the Seven Hills but showed up at Osay, and the Moon King, who should have had nothing to do with His Majesty but showed up at the Seven Hills.

A stranger who met the Moon King and developed a mystical connection with my Majesty.

To this day, no one knows who summoned the stranger, and the deceased kings appear one after another.

The foreign land that is the common point between the two is said to be the foreign land that was originally promised as a place to return to.
So, could it be that my Majesty and the Moon King know each other? Or even that they are facing the same situation?
In the curiosity of the Moon Goddess, she was somewhat surprised to hear Shadow Sun say to her:
"Your king, the Moon King, should know my majesty. Not just knowing him as a person, but knowing him face to face and through close interactions."

Yes, that’s it. The girl had no connection with my Majesty because she met him.

She had this connection because she met the Moon King who was related to Your Majesty!
That's why my majesty is in Orsay instead of the Seven Hills!
Even if this is inferred, it can explain why the holy tree appeared in Baratheon.

The Sword and Shield King, who is also a returner, should be involved!

The three of them should be together?

After all, the return of these three people remains a mystery to this day.

Furthermore, the Sword and Shield King has not appeared since his coronation.

A huge sense of crisis began to engulf the Shadow Sun.

She suddenly felt that she might be facing an unimaginably powerful enemy.

Selene still asked in confusion:
"What do you mean? How does my majesty know the Eternal King?"

One is from the First Age, and the other is from the Second Age. They are not from the same era at all!
Roselórien had already walked down from the throne and steps, and stood directly before the Moon Goddess.

She asked the question again:

"Has your majesty left you?"

Seeing a hint of fear in the elf's eyes, the Moon Goddess finally responded positively:
"Yes, but I can't tell you more."

"Then you are aware that the Sword and Shield King has not appeared since his coronation?"

Selene's expression also changed completely at this moment.

A deep chill spread from behind her.

"What do you mean?"

"Your king, my king, and the king of Goddess Ansha are all returnees. They have successfully returned for unknown reasons. If I am not mistaken, they all appeared and then disappeared!"

"It's as if they showed up just to solve some big problem that they had to solve."

"And this can even go a step further and include the short-lived Saint Constantine in Baratheon!"

Selene slowly widened her extremely beautiful eyes:
"Do you suspect that they are being manipulated by something?"

At this moment, Selene remembered the being who had made a deal with her Majesty.

The owner of that terrifying heartbeat.

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

Shadow Sun noticed the change in the other party's expression and asked directly.

The Moon Goddess stared at the Mirror Elf in front of her and said:

"My king told me that he made a deal with a certain being. If I am not mistaken, that being should be the source of the power of Lord Sauron's nineteen rings."

"That is, the owner of the previous heartbeat."

The two goddesses looked more horrified.

After a moment, they made the same decision - go to Baratheon!

Y'ktrashil, who had been hiding behind the curtain and watching the two goddesses leave, then silently returned to the water mirror.

Just distract them from the truth.

Compared to the outcome of the truth being discovered, everything else is just unimportant details.

And she had other things that concerned her more.

In her silent thinking, she sat down in front of an empty bed.

After a moment, she knelt down and began to rub the air.

Finally, the goddess hidden in the curtain held something in her hands, carefully pulled her knees out, and kissed the void.

When the goddess raised her head, both she and Moon stood there in a daze, touching their lips.

　I will resume writing two chapters with 6,000 words tomorrow, and today I will write 4,000 words. My mind is broken because of the lag in my phone.

　　The mobile phone card that I had used for six or seven years suddenly broke down, and I was in the middle of doing something, wasting an entire afternoon of time and mood.

　　Oh, sorry.
