n..

n” Thank you, Mother Nature!”

nMatthew placed one hand on his chest and saluted in the direction where he buried Heiss.

nThe three new abilities obviously came from the arsonist.

nAnd they were all very practical.

nHeat Resistance can reduce fire damage;

nSprint made up for some of the mobility;

nAnd the constitution and toughness provided by Tenacity were what Matthew dreamed of.

nMatthew remembered how Heiss managed to run hundreds of meters after being stabbed in the back that day…

nThis arsonist clearly had more than one ability that could increase his toughness.

nMatthew was already content to get one.

n” At present, it seems that nature’s gift has no negative effects. From my senses, I’ve figured out that one oak tree corresponds to one burial.”

nMatthew’s mind started to work.

nAlthough he did not intend to turn the oak forest into a new cemetery, if he encountered a suitable corpse in the future, he would definitely not let it go!

nThe only regrettable thing was…

nChoosing Nature’s Gift was equivalent to giving up the body of an undead creature.

nIn a sense.

nMatthew sensed that this ability seemed to be trying to lead him to the right path.

nEven though the method was somewhat strange.

n..

nIn the next few days.

nMatthew planted the trees diligently.

nAnd Ella followed suit.

nShe looked at Matthew every day, hoping that he would change his mind.

nHowever, Matthew chose to ignore her.

nEven when she got too close.

nSoldier would suddenly jump out from a corner and stab her!

nThis scared Ella so much that she flew all over the branches.

nOf course, Soldier had no intention of hurting her.

nHe had only used Ella as a target to practice sneak attacks under Matthew’s instructions.

nEvery time he attacked, he would immediately activate the Dark Night Cloak and disappear. This made Ella feel worried, and she did not dare to approach the ground.

nHowever, no matter how Matthew threatened Ella.

nThe owl did not leave.

nShe tried her best to follow Matthew, trying to seize every opportunity to persuade him to join the Moonlight Society.

nUnfortunately, times have changed.

nUntil the night six days later.

nMatthew finally found Ella and expressed his willingness to give her a chance, but only if Ella told the truth.

n“Why did you leave the Moonlight Forest to find me? I want to hear the truth.”

nMatthew examined Ella’s eyes.

nThe latter retracted her feathers and shrank back.

n..

n“This is the will of the Goddess of Moonlight. That day, I chased you away, but I was punished by the Goddess like never before. She struck me with lightning 100 times and then drove me out of the Moonlight Forest!

n“I have to bring you back! If I can’t complete this mission within a month, my spirituality will be stripped away, and I will be banished forever. I will become a muddleheaded beast… Please, Matthew, I really know my mistake!

n“For the sake of the Goddess, please join the Moonlight Society!”

n..

nElla begged.

nMatthew was deep in thought. ‘It’s really related to the Goddess of the Moonlight. She actually paid attention to me? Wasn’t it said that after the ascension of the Heavenly Family Palace, the connection between the Heaven Realm and the Material Realm had become very weak?’

nHe thought about it.

nIn the end, he decided to return to Moonlight Woodland to take a look.

nHe knew very little about the gods of this world, and the Goddess of the Moonlight did not seem to exist in the game in his previous life. Now that he had the opportunity to come into contact with her, he could not miss it.

nAs for the owl, Ella.

nWith Matthew’s magnanimity, he naturally would not continue to bicker with her.

nHowever, the necessary punishment was still necessary.

n“What? You want me to enlighten your oak forest once a month for a three-year period?!” Ella exclaimed, “Do you know how much energy I have to initiate enlightenment?”

nMatthew glanced at her and said calmly, “It wouldn’t kill you, right?”

nElla lowered her head.

nIt seemed that she could no longer say a word.

n..

nIn the second half of the night.

nMoonlight finally shone through the clouds.

nUnder Ella’s personal guidance.

nMatthew once again stepped onto the ground of the Moonlight Woodland.

nThe moment he entered.

nThree beams of moonlight flew up from the altar.

nIt landed on Matthew!

nAt that moment.

nIt was as if he was bathing in a hot spring.

nAll the pores on his body were relaxing.

n..

nHint: You have received the blessing of the Goddess of Moonlight, Moonwalker.

nMoonwalker: When you walk under the moonlight, your Intelligence and Intuition increase by 1 point.

n..

nYou have received the blessing of the Goddess of Moonlight, the Forest Guardian.

nForest Guardian: You have a full amount of Reputation and Legendary Points in the Moonlight Woodland. You will be able to go anywhere you want. You also have the ability to enter the Moonlight Woodland under the moonlight.

n..

nYou have successfully joined the Moonlight Society!

nUnder the moonlight, your Shapeshifting becomes a quickcast spell. All attributes of Shapeshifting 1!

n..

n“Wow.”

nMatthew was amazed. This series of blessings came so suddenly. Apart from joy, he also sensed a faint sense of danger.

n“What does the Goddess of Moonlight need me to do?”

nHe knew very well that there was no free benefit in this world.

nElla, on the other hand, looked overjoyed.

n“Congratulations, Mr. Matthew, you have become the first and only Necromancer in the Moonlight Society!

n“Although you are not an official member yet, thanks to the grace of the Goddess of Moonlight, you can enter and leave the Moonlight Woodland as you wish. Most importantly, my mission is completed. I finally don’t have to worry about being expelled by the Goddess.”

nAs she laughed, she actually choked up.

nMatthew patiently waited for her to release her emotions.

nThen, he asked the same question again. “Or should I ask the goddess myself?”

nAs he spoke, he was about to walk towards the altar.

n“No need, no need. I’m your guide. Let me pass on the will of the goddess to you.” Ella spread her wings and flew away. “Follow me, Matthew. On the way, I’ll introduce you to what you need to do to become an official member of the Moonlight Society.”

nElla’s voice echoed in the forest for a long time.

nMatthew noticed that the emblem of the Goddess of the Moonlight on the altar was gradually dimming.

nHe followed Ella all the way.

nThey passed through most of the forest.

nAlong the way, Matthew saw many Nature Souls.

nThey all had the appearance of small animals. Unlike the nature spirits he encountered when he was traveling in the oak tree domain, the natives of the Moonlight Forest were clearly lifeless.

nThey were spirits that symbolized vitality and nature.

nHowever, in Matthew’s eyes, they were not as lively as a skeleton soldier!

nThe natives looked at him in astonishment.

nAt first, they were surprised and disgusted.

nHowever, perhaps they felt the grace of the Goddess of the Moonlight, and most of them stopped for a while.

nAfter a long time, they looked at Matthew with reverence.

nTheir expressions and eyes were very stiff as if they were forced to admire Matthew.

n“The situation in the Moonlight Woodland doesn’t seem good.”

nMatthew noticed a detail. Along the way, he did not encounter a single Druid!

nAfter all, even if humans or elven druids were busy in the material plane, there was a chance that druids would be born among the natives of Nature’s Soul.

nHowever, he did not see any of them.

nThis was very unusual.

nHe quickly followed the cheerful Ella and told her all his questions.

nElla lowered her altitude slightly.

n” You’re very sharp. There aren’t many Druids in the Moonlight Woodland. It wasn’t like this before. I still remember when I was young, and when I was just born, the Nature Souls in the forest were full of vitality. Every forest was inhabited by Druids. They would take the initiative to repair the scars caused by the passage of time.

n” But then a disaster happened, and the forest suffered a huge blow. Many Druids died, and no new Druids were born in Nature’s Soul.”

n“Didn’t you ask for help from the outside world?” Matthew asked curiously.”

n” Yes,” Ella said with a sigh.” We’ve asked for help from the Guardian Highlands, the Arctic Tundra, and the Azure Sea, but they rejected us without exception!

n“Only a few young Druids who were traveling outside were willing to help us, but their power was not enough to change the situation, so this place became what you see now.”

nAs they continued to go deeper.

nMatthew noticed that the trees on both sides of the forest were dying.

nThis meant that Moonlight Woodland was being attacked by evil forces.

n“Why did the Guardian Watchers refuse to help?”

nMatthew found it strange.

nElla flew down.

nShe stopped on a dead pine tree and looked around.

n..

n” Times have changed, Matthew. Humans are getting worse, and the Druids are no exception.

n“Although their reason for rejecting us is that they have also been attacked by evil and are unable to provide support.

n“But I know the real reason. It’s because we are Moonwalkers, and they are the favored ones of the earth.”

n..

nMatthew didn’t expect that the Druids would refuse to help because of their different factions.

nFrom the information he had so far.

nThe Moonlight Society was an organization under the command of the Goddess of Moonlight, Assia. She might only have a very small amount of authority related to nature.

nEver since the disaster that Ella mentioned, the Druids who followed Moonlight had almost gone extinct.

nThe remaining druids on this continent were all members of the Earth Society, which should be an organization founded by a god who controlled the power of the Earth.

nThere was no doubt that the divine power of the God of Earth was much higher than that of the Goddess of Moonlight. The authority he held would also occupy more weight in the field of nature.

nThis was what led to the current situation.

nTo put it in layman’s terms.

nThe Moonlight Society might have been glorious once, but it had fallen.

nMatthew could basically understand why the Goddess of Moonlight had punished Ella and treated him so generously.

nThe situation in the Moonlight Woodland was so bad that the Moonlight Goddess was desperate.

nOnly Ella, this idiot, dared to chase away the people who might be able to help.

nShe chased Matthew away. It was little surprise that she was punished.

n‘However, I would probably be rejected by the Earth Society.’ Matthew thought again.

n..

n“We’re here.”

nFifteen minutes later.

nElla stopped in front of a dark cave.

nShe rushed forward and said, ” Your job is to deal with those disgusting bugs here. If you can kill a ‘Mad Zerg’, you will become an official member of the Moonlight Society, and the Goddess will bestow more grace on you.”

nAt the same time.

nThe mission panel was also updated.

n..

nSub Mission: Kill Zerg

nDescription: The Moonlight Forest is being invaded by the Zergs. Kill them all and then extort a sum from the Goddess of Moonlight!

nReward: Goddess of Moonlight’s Grace & Ability ‘Battle Spellcasting’
