Chapter 24: Extraordinary Charm
..
Lulu was an overly shy fairy.
The other fairies living in this oak forest had more or less greeted Matthew.
Only this princess was always secretive. Even when she appeared in front of Matthew, she would hide among the fairies so that he could not see her clearly.
It would be a lie to say that he was not curious about Lulu.
However, Matthew had always respected these little creatures who got along well with him.
After summoning the Fairy Princess.
Matthew closed his eyes.
A cool breeze brushed past his face.
There was a moment.
Matthew vaguely felt that a fairy had stopped on his nose and was boldly walking up and down.
This feeling quickly disappeared. Matthew thought that it was his imagination. He did not think that it was the Fairy Princess teasing him. After all, she was too shy.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
"I... am here..."
A thin and weak voice drifted over from afar.
Matthew could sense that she had stopped on a tree five steps away from him.
"Good evening. I need your help. I have an entrance ticket to the Moonlight Society. Only with the help of a Nature Soul can I enter the corresponding interdimensional space."
Matthew waved the ticket in his hand.
"This is not a difficult matter." Lulu's voice drifted closer. "Why are you closing your eyes, Matthew?"
Matthew smiled lightly and said, "If you allow me to open them, I will."
"I... I trust you, Matthew!"
Lulu's voice was hesitant at first. But soon, she mustered up her courage and said, "You can open your eyes now."
Matthew opened his eyes naturally.
At first, it was a faint glow under the moonlight.
Then, he saw a pair of golden wings.
Finally, there was that a fairy that was slightly larger than ordinary fairies and that inconceivably exquisite face.
At that moment.
Matthew felt his head buzzing.
His eyes widened subconsciously.
Whoosh!
Lulu flew back twenty feet nervously.
Then, she hesitantly inched closer to Matthew.
"Hu..."
Matthew let out a long breath and woke up from his loss of composure.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful." He laughed at himself and said, "Did my eyes pop out just now?"
Lulu patted her fair chest with her small hand. "You did well, but that gaze just now did scare me."
Matthew nodded.
He finally understood why Lulu didn't easily appear in front of others.
Perhaps it was not because she was shy.
It was because of her unmatched beauty!
"What is your charm?" Matthew asked.
"20 points? Or perhaps more? I don't know either!"
Lulu counted with her fingers.
20 points meant Extraordinary Charm.
This was the limit of charm that ordinary creatures could reach!
That was not counting the charm bonus unique to fairies.
Almost all creatures would be tempted to get close to Lulu, grab her, or even toy with her!
Even Matthew could not help but have evil thoughts when he stared at those small wings for a long time.

"Then can we start?"
Matthew tried hard to look away and asked.
"Of course."
Lulu circled Matthew excitedly. "This is the first time I've come into such close contact with a creature other than my clansmen. This feeling is so exciting!
"Right, you were talking about the Moonlight Society? No problem. Come with me, Matthew."
Rumble!
Matthew was shocked. The Goddess of Moonlight couldn't be really that angry, right?
He subconsciously turned around and saw a bolt of lightning fly out from the altar and strike the owl, Ella!
In the next second.
He appeared safe and sound in the oak forest.
Lulu was nowhere to be seen.
..
"Did the Goddess of Moonlight's lightning strike the wrong target?
"Forget it, just treat it as a small interlude..."
Matthew adjusted his mood.
He returned to the cottage and began his homework for the night.
Outside the wooden house, Soldier was wearing a cloak of darkness, silently carrying out his patrol mission.
The forest was quiet and peaceful.
The night was silent.
At daybreak.
Matthew yawned and pushed open the wooden door.
However, he was shocked to find a strange bird with black wings and cramped limbs resting on the oak tree 30 meters away from the door of the wooden house!
" Good morning, Mr. Matthew."
The strange bird greeted him uneasily.
Matthew looked at her in hesitation.
If it weren't for the fact that the voice hadn't changed, he wouldn't have been able to associate the strange, charred bird with the arrogant owl from last night!
"Ella?"
He sized up the other party with interest.
" I'm sorry, Mr. Matthew. I only wanted to joke with you last night, but I didn't expect it to go too far. To show my sincerity, I will personally invite you to the Moonlight Forest tonight. If nothing goes wrong, you will successfully join the Moonlight Society and become a member of our harmonious and loving family."
Matthew chuckled. He ignored Ella and went in to look for the sapling bag and tools.
Then, he walked towards the pit he had chosen two days ago.
"Mr. Matthew, Mr. Matthew..."
Ella hurriedly followed him up.
"I'm busy, Miss Owl," Matthew waved the shovel and said, "I didn't think you were joking yesterday, and I didn't feel the sincerity of your apology today, so I don't think I should join the Moonlight Society!"
He started digging.
The flying mud scared Ella so much that she screamed and flew away.
But not long after, she flew back eagerly.
..
" I apologize to you, Mr. Matthew. I know I was wrong. It was my ignorance that blocked my vision. I thought that necromancers were all bad people, but that's clearly not the case."
"Uh, are you planting trees? Wow, what a great feat! You are the kindest necromancer I have ever seen!"
"Mr. Matthew, it was all my fault last night. I thought you were a Necromancer who had mastered the Nature Domain, and I felt disgusted. However, I thought it through later. I believe you are actually a Druid who has mastered the domain of necromancy. Isn't that much more pleasing? I can feel the natural affinity from you. How refreshing!"
"Wow, Mr. Matthew, are you even so handsome when you wipe your sweat?"
..
Ella tried to please Matthew.
Matthew did not speak.
He was just minding his own business.
He worked from morning to dusk.
In the evening.
Matthew returned to the wooden house.
A strange fluctuation surged in his heart.
