Chapter 280 Wang Met the Goddess, Moen Met the Girl (3k)

The white ice Pegasus has gone back.

Now only Morn was acting alone.

He had already learned some preliminary information from the fishing village and had made an advance plan.

The first steps to implement this plan are now being prepared.

The location here is not much different from what Moen remembers.

This is the province of Londinium, which belongs to the York Empire. Further ahead is Rodgrens, the main city of the region.

It is also a very important city in the entire York Empire and even the New World.

Because here is the Rodgrens Cathedral.

It stands on a hill outside the city of Rodgers and was once a temple dedicated to Augustus, but when the Lionheart first met Longominid, the goddess of the Holy Lance, here.

The Rodgrens Cathedral was converted into the Cathedral of the Goddess by the believers of the Church of the Storm.

In other words, this is where Morn first encountered Lungomyniad, the goddess of the Holy Lance.

Of course, as the Lionheart.
It is precisely because of this religious significance that the city of Rodgrens has developed.

To this day, this is almost the benchmark in the southeastern region of the New World.

It is a three-in-one center of faith, economy and military.

This is also the first step for Moen.

Looking at the city of Rodgrens ahead.

Even Moon was in a trance for a moment. He remembered that when he was the Lionheart King, this place was just a small settlement that had just begun to develop.

Although there are signs of progress towards cities, it will take dozens or even hundreds of years.

Unexpectedly, when I saw it again, the former settlement had developed into the mighty city it is today.

At the same time, Moon's gaze involuntarily turned in the direction of a certain memory.

He was looking for the Great Cathedral of Rodgrens.

That was where he first met Denise.

This place has a very special meaning to him and the goddess.

Making this his first stop, Moon felt a little sad about the unpredictability of fate.

Soon, Moon saw the great cathedral on a hill city that had completely changed its appearance.

Countless tourists, pilgrims, and ordinary people were all making their way up the winding yet majestic mountain path in front of Moon's sight.

Moon had no intention of going forward. He just quietly gazed at the cathedral for a moment and then prepared to head into the city.

This was indeed the place where he first saw the goddess.

So this place is very special for him.

But that was before, and this is now.

Not only is there no goddess here now, but this place has even become a filthy place where the corrupt continue to exploit you.

Morn had no interest in looking at him any more than the first time.

However, because the road into the city was at the foot of the cathedral, Moon was stopped by the crowded crowd when he passed by.

In the front, due to the limited vision, he couldn't see that there were so many people here.

By the time you see it, it's too late to look back.

I could only helplessly be carried forward by the crowd.

When he was carried to the foot of the mountain by the crowd, Moon finally understood why the crowd was so congested.

Because most of the people here come here for the big cathedral on the top of the mountain.

However, at the entrance, extremely strict access control has been set up.

It is guarded by many church knights and clergy, and if you want to go in, you must pay a high price as an entrance ticket.

And if Moon remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen several similar access control points on the mountainside and other places when he came here.

Have these people amassed wealth to this extent?
Although he was prepared before coming, Moon was still a little surprised when he actually saw it.

However, because the crowd was heading towards the entrance, Moon was also swept along.

This gave Moon an even greater headache; there was no way he could do anything about these people.

He also had no intention of going to the place that made him feel even more nauseous.

Where there is no goddess, there is only greed.

He could only try his best to squeeze in the opposite direction.

But every time this happened, Moon felt more and more that his approach was too extreme.

If you don't use your abilities, you're no different from an ordinary person.

If you use your abilities, you can unleash power far beyond normal means.

So at this moment, he could only sigh as he looked at the sky that was drowned by the crowd.

Then, a hand that was warm but a little cold grabbed him.

The touch at this moment made Moon a little dazed.

who is it?

Looks familiar?
Immediately, Moon was led by the owner of the hand through the overcrowded crowd.

The crowd that had just left Moon helpless now seemed to be non-existent in front of him and he could pass through it freely.

In other words, it's like the agile wind.

Moon could only hear the sound of people whirring in his ears, and the scene around him was rapidly receding like a stream of light. The owner of the hand was light and agile, and each step he took was just right to avoid others, and he led Moon through the gaps in the crowd skillfully. Moon's eyes followed the back of the figure closely, and his heart was full of surprise and confusion.

It was the back of a girl, a back that seemed extremely familiar yet unfamiliar to Moon.

Moon felt that he must have seen this figure from behind, but he felt that it seemed different from what he saw in front of him.

This feeling is so wonderful and hard to describe.

It's like it's her but not her.

When everything in front of him finally became clear, Moon was also carried out of the crowd by the smart wind.

Only then did Moon have the chance to take a good look at who had brought him out.

The positions of both parties have been exchanged due to a small pause and advance.

Now it was Morn standing in front of her and she was behind him.

When Morn turned around, the sun's rays shone through the great cathedral on the top of the mountain and shone onto the beautiful elf in front of him.

She came to the city from the forest, but she was still the darling of the wind and nature. This was someone that Morn had never expected.

The girl bathed in the sun lifted her slightly messy hair and put it into a bun, then smiled at Moon in front of her:
"haven't seen you for a long time."

The emotional greeting made Moon look at her more clearly.

From this angle, above her head is the Rodgren's Cathedral, which looks like a crown.

Morn and the girl met where the Lionheart and the goddess Lungominiad met.

After being stunned for a long time, Mo En finally came to his senses and said in a daze:

"Long time no see, Lily."

Yes, the girl in front of me is Lily Heather.

The girl went forward and hugged Moon very naturally and proactively.

"Well, it's been a while since I last said hello."

The other person hugged me very tightly.

Sensing this, Morn did not resist.

After just a moment's hesitation, he hugged the girl in his arms.

Also, in the other person's embrace, Moon seemed to feel a moment of coldness, but this feeling, like a gem rolling down, was fleeting.

"Why are you here? And where is your bow?"

Lily is a follower of the Shadow Sun, and she always carries the moon-white longbow that she gave to Roselorien.

The girl had let go of Moen, and after turning around in front of Moen, she smiled awkwardly and said:
"It seems that the goddess has taken back her gift to me. As you can see, I am just a mortal now."

"The gift given to you was taken back? Why is this happening?"

Moon knew that Lily was a divine gift, and everything she had could be taken back by the goddess at will. But how could that happen?

The girl looked at Moen helplessly and smiled:

"How can I understand the will of the goddess?"

After saying that, the girl stepped forward and took Moen's hand.

On his hands, gold, black and silver rings were shining brightly.

It is love and also imitation.

King Lionheart once asked the Goddess of the Holy Lance to cut a lock of his hair and use it as a hair ring as a token of trust.

That is believed to be when the Goddess of Weapons first learned what love was.

So the goddess Longominiad became Denys the Lionheart.

The girl looked at the three rings quietly and asked:

"You, when did you get these three rings?"

Noticing the girl's gaze, Moon couldn't help but withdraw his hand.

"Many, many reasons. But what are you going to do now?"

His eyes drifted, unable to look directly at the girl.

The girl who raised her head again had returned to her original appearance. She tilted her head and smiled:
"Of course I'll follow you! You can't let a weak, pitiful and helpless girl like me wander around alone in this dangerous city, right?"

Mo En rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly:
"You are right, but what I am going to do is much more dangerous than this."

The girl walked to Moen's side lightly and nimbly, and like the wind, she took his arm without Moen noticing and said:

"Then I will follow you even more. I can't let you face danger alone. Although I have no power, I am the only person you can absolutely trust here."

"So, take me with you, or I will follow you secretly even if you refuse."

Moen looked at the girl who was already leaning against him.

After a brief hesitation, he leaned forward and whispered to the girl:
"I promised a child, even if it was a compromise, but I will still challenge this corrupt church with my mortal strength. I'm afraid this is not suitable for you, so, do you really plan to come with me?"

The girl leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes and said:
"You have to know that I am not acting for that child I don't know. I am acting for you. We have been through so much together, haven't we?"

Moen said without trying to dissuade him:
"alright, I got it."

Having given his answer, Moon pulled himself out of the girl's embrace.

But he still held the girl's hand.

Wait until the two of them look into each other's eyes.

Moon knelt on one knee facing the girl, picked up the girl's hand and kissed it gently, saying:

"Although I am not a knight, if you wish, please allow me to be your knight to protect your safety."

The girl accepted the kiss and then knelt on one knee in front of Moon.

She held Moon's hand and kissed him again, but the difference was that she kept looking at Moon and said:
"Although I am not a princess, since you are willing, I agree that you can become my knight. Therefore, my knight, I will give you everything I have!"

The New World is the birthplace of chivalrous culture.

The Knights Templar still stands here.

So, this is almost like a confession to the people around him.

There is not much happiness for these lower-class people on this continent.

This is a rare scene that makes people smile with relief.

People stopped their busy steps and turned to offer their blessings to the couple given by God.

When the crowd dispersed with satisfaction, the girl asked Moon beside her:
"I'm afraid it's impossible to eradicate the church with the power of mortals alone. Are you aware of this?"

Moen said:

"I know. I have never thought about eradicating the church. I just want to help that child complete his proof. It would be best if he succeeds. If he fails, that's fine. I will make that child's greatest wish come true."

The girl asked curiously:

"What proof was completed?"

Moon looked up into the distance, which was the direction of the holy city of Camelot:

"Let the people and the Church know that even a mortal can still kill the Pope! They'd better pray that I will succeed, so that they can live a few more days."

The girl then looked towards Camelot in the distance and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll accompany you."

"Thank you."

After the two men left, a lame beggar next to them picked up a dirty copper coin and looked at it carefully, to the confusion of his companions and passers-by.

In his eyes, this was not a copper coin but an ocean-blue gem.

With the echo of the storm.
