Chapter 88: “Not Now, Matthew.”

Translator: Lonelytree

The moonlight shone through the owl’s body, casting a white shadow behind her. Matthew couldn’t see her face clearly, but he could vaguely tell that it was a woman’s figure.

She gave off a beautiful, holy, gentle, and reserved feeling.

“Goddess.”

Matthew bowed slightly to show his courtesy.

” I’m here for you.”

Assia didn’t beat around the bush. Instead, she chose to get straight to the point with a smile.

“You must be wondering why I would provide so much help for free. That’s because I hope to get your help or even protection in the upcoming changes.”

Matthew nodded slightly, expressing his willingness to listen.

” The Dark Days are coming, and Aindor will usher in the darkest and most turbulent period after the Age of Enlightenment. Countless evil that was sealed in ancient times are reviving, and the saddest thing for the creatures of this continent is that not only will they have to fight against the Twilight Creatures, Abominations, and other monsters with their mortal bodies, but the gods who fought alongside them during the last Dark Days will also stand against them this time.”

When Assia talked about the gods, she did not avoid them at all, as if she were not a member of the gods.

She smiled gently. “To the gods, the best news is that the calamity mage has left. This is exactly the news that the Seven Saint Alliance and you all don’t want to hear. But no matter what, this is already an established fact. Darkness and turmoil are coming. Matthew, it won’t reach you overnight, but it’S already on its way.”

Matthew asked in a deep voice, “What is the Dark Age? And how did you know that the Calamity Mage had left Aindor? What if she turns back and kills the Gods?”

Assia seemed to be prepared and immediately replied,

” The operation of the universe follows a seemingly impermanent but traceable theorem, and so does our plane. Darkness and light always coexist. Before the Age of Enlightenment, the gods and mortals worked together to wipe out most of the dark things on this plane, but they were not completely destroyed. They just hid quietly, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

” The Dark Days are coming. When that day officially arrives, the power of all evil creatures will expand to an unimaginable level, and the power that symbolizes light will also be infinitely weakened according to the law of the rise and fall.

“As for the calamity mage, it was her arrival that caused the Dark Ages. If it weren’t for the unexpected ascension of the Heavenly Palace, the power of the gods would have been enough to suppress those evil creatures for at least another 1000 years.

” In fact, we can’t be sure if the Calamity Mage has left, but for the gods who are weak and on the verge of death and still have a hundred years of anger in their hearts, this is the best time. They are ready to unite and do something that can overturn the laws of the world. Due to anti-divination, I can’t tell you the details of that matter. You only need to know that the Aindor Continent will slowly enter an era of unrest.

“Everyone will be involved in the flames of war and disputes. No one will be spared.”

As she spoke.

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

“They?”

Matthew looked at Assia suspiciously.

Did the Goddess of Moonlight mean that she was not one of the gods who caused trouble?

“What else?”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in Assia’s tone.

“If I was willing to join their ranks, why do you think I voluntarily gave up the domain of ‘Moon’ when

I was forced to ascend to the throne in the Heavenly Palace, leaving myself with only the domain of ‘Moonlight’?”

Was Assia the Moon Goddess?

Did she voluntarily give up the Moon Godhood?

Matthew knew that he had learned an extremely secretive piece of information.

” Of course, I admit that giving up that part of my godhood is the best way to preserve myself in the process of ascending to the throne in the Heavenly Palace. The calamity mage made the rule that the weaker one is, the closer one is to the mortal world. Moonlight is the medium that can get closest to the material world, so I became one of the few gods who can influence the mortal world.”

Assia continued, ” But I do not like what they do. I did not participate in the three curses, which is proof. If you doubt this, you can go to the people of the Alliance of Seven Saints to verify it.”

Matthew nodded.

He was willing to believe Assia. After all, it was not difficult to verify such things.

“So, what do you want me to do for you?”

Matthew asked.

Assia said frankly,

“I think that the gods’ crazy plan is unlikely to succeed. If it fails, it will bring irreversible damage to the Heavenly Palace. I will also be affected. I hope that if that happens, you can give me a certain amount of protection.”

Matthew was surprised. “Why me? I’m just a 2nd tier mage.”

Assia sighed softly.

” The first reason is that I can’t find anyone else. With the heresy and efforts of the Seven Saint Alliance, the gods are completely evil in the hearts of people, especially mages. It has been many years since a new Druid was born in the Moonlight Forest. My influence in the mortal world is declining day by day. Coincidentally, you appeared in front of me.

” The second reason is that I think you have a bright future ahead of you. You have Ronan’s Patronus on you. I know that guy. He won’t waste his few Patronus on someone with no potential.”

Matthew was slightly shocked.

He didn’t even realize that the Great Mage Ronan had permanently cast a “Patronus Spell ” on him!

And these words coming from Assia’s mouth could also be considered a kind gesture in a sense.

“Oh right, is Great Mage Ronan really trapped in the astral world? Was this part of the Gods ‘plan?”

Matthew hurriedly asked.

Assia blinked.

“This is a topic that I can’t say.

“But I can assure you that a scourge like Ronan won’t die so easily.”

Matthew understood instantly. He interpreted at least three pieces of information:

Ronan was indeed trapped in the astral plane.

This was the work of the gods.

There was a high chance that Ronan would not die.

Matthew pondered.

He combed through the goddess’ words and found no flaws for the time being. Then, he said,

” I’m willing to provide you with a certain amount of protection as long as it’s within my ability. However, the final interpretation of this protection is still in my hands. The extent to which I can do it will depend on how much value you can provide me.”

These words were very bare.

But he won in honesty.

After hearing this, Assia was not angry but happy. She smiled and looked at Matthew. “What do you need me to provide, young Necromancer?”

Matthew simply asked, “I want to know how far you are willing to go for this.”

Assia said boldly, ” If you become strong enough in the Dark Age, you can have a wife who used to be the Moon Goddess.”

“That’s all?!”

Unknowingly, Matthew also became a little arrogant.

Assia looked at him bitterly. “Then what else do you want to do? Greedy necromancers?”

At this point.

Her approachable aura instantly vanished.

An insufferably powerful aura pressed down on Matthew’s chest!

Matthew almost fell to his Imees.

“I am the Moon Goddess. I cannot be blasphemed!”

Assia suddenly changed into a sacred and inviolable face, and her eyes were filled with disgust and

disgust as She 100ked at Matthew.

“Dirty and weak necromancer, you think you can get your hands on the Moon Maiden with your mere 2nd tier strength? “I can crush you like an ant.”

As she spoke.

The shadow made of moonlight slowly walked towards Matthew.

Matthew’s vision seemed to freeze.

The world spun.

All he could see was a pair of fair, bare feet stepping on the barren land.

Those cute and playful toes were so delicious to him.

“It’s the power of Charm…’

Matthew shook his head vigorously.

The domain of ” Temperance ” was suddenly activated!

However, this was not enough to immediately remove the charm of the goddess. Instead, it caused Matthew to fall into a longer tug-of-war.

After an unknown period of time.

Only then did he suddenly wake up from his dazed state.

His back was already drenched.

His lips were extremely dry.

Matthew knelt on one knee, panting.

“Phew, the goddess really knows how to play…So powerful.”

Matthew was shocked when he recalled what had just happened. He had the Heart of Tranquil Water, and his Will attribute was not low. He was immune to the seduction of the Fairy Princess Lulu and the Succubus, but in front of the Goddess of Moonlight, all of this almost fell apart!

The gods were indeed powerful.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest. He looked down and saw that there was another message on the believer badge.

[On the eve of the Dark Age, the number of Evil Art Masters on this continent will increase by a hundredfold. Remember to be careful of the Order of Calamity. By the way, you have a strong will. I’m very satisfied.]

Evil Art Masters?

Matthew was deep in thought.

At this moment.

After being possessed by the goddess, Ella finally woke up.

She looked at Matthew, who was kneeling on one knee in a daze and said in surprise, “Matthew, what are you doing?”

Immediately after.

Miss Owl’s voice became bashful. “Aiyaya, I’ve heard people say that this is a fixed position humans use when they want to seek a mate.

“No, Matthew.”

Matthew didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He wanted to explain.

But Ella said, “At least not before you master the owl’s shapeshifting form.”

Matthew was completely stunned.
