Chapter 689 Ardenweald Detective·The Stolen Moonlight
The two goddesses finally stopped.
They were all in a miserable state at this time, Winter Queen, let alone Winter Queen, was the weaker party, even the luxurious blue dress was torn, the elegant braids were torn, and even the forest horns on their heads were violently broken off.
The indifference and calmness she had maintained all year round were broken and now replaced with anger, which was full of a broken feeling of being "forced to do business".
And Ms. Elune also
Well, okay, White Lady actually wasn't hurt at all. After all, she came here with a "borrowed number" to communicate with her family. The real tragedy was Warrior of Light Diakum who was passing by.
Both the horns of his spirit body were broken. In the fight with the goddess just now, which was full of "real feelings" but was full of "real feelings", Diakum's tail was almost pulled off by Winter Queen.
Although this is just a spirit body, its damage will not be directly reflected on Sun God's body, which is still undergoing the "God Ascension Trial" in Dymus's stomach pouch at this time, but at the level of Diakum, even damage to the spirit body will require long-term recuperation.
What's more, Winter Queen just took action and really applied the concept of "Winter of Life" to him.
The expression of this thing is a bit obscure, but just looking at the way it works, you can tell that it includes concepts related to "death" and "nature" such as withering, toxins, aging, House of Plagues, etc.
This directly resulted in Diakum being given a "Debuff" that he had never seen before, and it was also the great power exerted by the true god, making him visibly weak.
But it doesn't really matter.
The sun is the source of light. You only need to call the sun for a few baths and purifications, and these negative states will be eliminated. As the source of Holy Light, it is very simple for the Sun God inheritance to cleanse the curse of death.
What's more, Ms. Elune is a kind-hearted person, how could she let Diakum do the treatment by herself?
Moon Goddess is the main god of Life Force. You don't even need to do it yourself to purify all negative states. You just need to shine it with moonlight and then "sterilize" it.
When the two distinguished ladies calmed down, they entered the "secret conversation" session. After instructing the sect leaders not to talk nonsense about what they saw today, the embarrassed Winter Queen grabbed his sister's hand and returned to his own palace in Heart of the Forest in a blink of an eye.
Without her instructions, the queen's courtiers and intelligence chief Old Mushroom Head Marasmius immediately used their "mushrooms and grandchildren" to block Heart of the Forest's access. Some fungus-like substances were also scattered by Old Mushroom Head, floating around the palace like dandelions, blocking all prying eyes and prophecies.
After all the arrangements were completed, the embarrassed Winter Queen sat on his throne and looked at Diakum sitting cross-legged below. Her eyes flickered, and her eyes as cold as winter snow could capture that her sister was still in the body of this man.
"Do you trust him that much?"
Winter Queen first asked a not difficult and important question, she said:
"There are several Night Warriors in Shadowlands, and they are all your fanatical followers, but instead of using them to talk to me, you believe in a Lesser God from the Holy Light field?
Although the moral standards of Holy Light Followers are generally relatively high, you are a bit exaggerating."
"You don't understand, sister."
Ms. Elune said softly:
"You have closed yourself off to Shadowlands, never being interested in Material World, and only focusing on completing your own responsibilities. You are so rigid that you are boring and deaf. Of course you cannot understand what a great thing Diakum has accomplished in his life, and why I would entrust him with such an important matter.
I risked an all-out war with Holy Light and tried to bring him into my realm, but he refused.
At that time, he was just a demigod and was not tempted by the promise of power. He firmly believed that he only belonged to Holy Light, but I was not disappointed either. I believed that one day, under the bright moonlight, I would be able to truly own my "God Chosen".
Maybe it already exists.
Perhaps among other unknown possibilities.
But that's not what we're going to discuss now. If your anger has subsided, let's talk about the "disappearing moonlight".
I have to make sure first.
You think I ignored you on purpose, so I took away the ray of moonlight that once shone on Ardenweald, leaving this territory completely plunged into eternal night, right?
Who gave you this idea?
Although the relationship between us is indifferent, it is not so bad that you suspect that I will take the initiative to harm you, right?"
Facing Elune's inquiry, Winter Queen was silent for a moment, then she shook her head and said:
"It may not be that my mind has been affected. I have been alone for a long time. My resentment towards you may come from my long-term prayers but you have never responded.
Shadowlands's lack of anima didn't just start recently.
It is true that the situation has developed to the point where my forestland has withered in recent years, but the anima supplied by Revendreth has been gradually decreasing since many years ago.
Sire Denathrius claimed that it was because we imprisoned Zovaal, which caused loopholes in the destiny established by First Ones, allowing Revendreth to extract less and less anima from the sinners.
Other forces are suspecting that Revendreth lied about this matter. Those anima vampires must have hidden a lot of anima, but even if Attendant of the Gods used some "forbidden method" to create Eternal Arbiter to replace Zovaal, there is indeed a loophole in the destiny. Therefore, we cannot refute Denathrius's sophistry.
We cannot directly send people to lurk at Revendreth to check the situation there."
"Why not?"
Elune said doubtfully:
"If you are all doubting them, you should take action immediately! Isn't there Primus among you who is good at all tactics and strategies? If you are indecisive, he should make a strong decision on your behalf.
Huh?
Why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong?"
"That White Lady, Revendreth is full of criminals and careerists. The dogs lying on the street in that place are probably thinking about how to kill a few unlucky people."
Diakum explained from the side:
"Sire Denathrius has even sent its own spies to the six major forces. Do you still remember what I told you about the Nathrezims' experience in the Burning Legion?
The lurking of those spies was so perfect that even Sargeras couldn't tell their details.
In this case, Winter Queen or other Eternal Ones sending investigators to Revendreth is basically equivalent to actively sending elites to die.
Actually, I've always had a feeling.
The entire Shadowlands covenant camp is already "one-way transparent" in front of Sire Denathrius. Even now, in the woodland around the Heart of the Forest temple, there may be Nathrezims who have transformed into Night Fae and are trying to eavesdrop on this conversation."
"That's it."
As a true god in the field of life, and to protect An'she and pay attention to Material World all year round, it is correct for Elune not to know about Death Force's other Eternal Ones.
Her "connection" here the One is her sister, but her sister has been getting angry with her for more than a day or two.
"As Diakum said."
Winter Queen sighed and said:
"There has always been only Venthyr of Revendreth to spy on other countries. Even the assassins of House of Eyes under Primus were unable to lurk under the emperor to find real information.
We can only doubt.
However, under the strict rules of Shadowlands's destiny, "suspect" cannot be used as evidence in court for Judgment and Eternal Ones.
I have long predicted the catastrophic consequences that this lack of anima would cause in the future, so I asked you for help as soon as possible.
I hoped that you could send some natural souls full of anima to use their connection with Tirna Scithe to alleviate the anima gap of Ardenweald. There is no shortage of such souls under your command, and because of the special nature of Ardenweald in Shadowlands, such anima will not be intercepted by Revendreth.
I prayed over and over again, but you never answered.
One night, when I raised my head, I saw Dispersion in the moonlight.
At that moment, my heart became cold."
The queen sighed and said:
"Although my name is Winter Queen, I am not really heartless, but the moment I saw the moonlight extinguished, I felt abandoned.
Even if our "sister" relationship is only a symbol of the Force, even if we are not really connected by blood, I have felt that I am different from other Eternal Ones. They only have destiny to accompany them, but I still have you.
But
But you finally abandoned me and left me in Shadowlands, letting me rot with the cold and gradually collapsing destiny."
At this moment, Diakum truly felt the "resentment" of Winter Queen.
But if you think about it, even if you were in the same position, you wouldn't be able to complain at all if something like this happened to you.
I am not Saint, so naturally I cannot ask Winter Queen to be so generous.
Elune After listening to her sister's description, she sighed and said:
"This is the core of the problem. You said you confided in me and requested many times, but I didn't hear you, sister. I really didn't hear you once.
I only remember that it was the period when Sea of Darkness eroded An'she most violently. One day, I suddenly felt the vibration from Shadowlands, and the moonlight Dispersion shone on me Ardenweald.
It's not natural Dispersion, it was taken away.
I thought that was you!
After all, this is your territory. Who else but you can use the power of the true god to attack Moonlight?
And that moonlight is the One way for me to contact you. We are at the opposite ends of life and death. We shouldn't have frequent contact. I can't understand why you do this.
An'she's situation forced me to have no time to care about him, and I felt sad.
Like you, I know, that means Life and Death's Great Cycle is disrupted, that means you
Of course, it turns out the situation is not as bad as we thought.
We were fooled.
The problems with Great Cycle of Life and Death are the result of a conspiracy, but the question is, who was influenced by it? Who would do such a thing?"
The palace fell silent for a while.
Winter Queen rubbed his brows and was thinking. After a moment, Old Mushroom Head Marasmius next to Mushroom Circle said softly:
"Queen, you have been staying at Ardenweald. No other Eternal Ones has the opportunity to steal the moonlight that belongs to White Lady, unless you are not here. However, in so many years, you have only gone out a few times, and each time it was a major event related to destiny.
Excluding the time before Zovaal was sealed, in the subsequent time, you would only leave Ardenweald when Eternal Ones and Oribos gathered together, but the four Eternal Ones were all there at that time, and others could not do this.
Therefore, if we really want to talk about opportunities, it is actually only once.
Do you remember?
The time Revendreth was invaded!
In the very distant past, a group of Naaru from Holy Light suddenly broke into the territory of Sire Denathrius one day, and a terrible war broke out with Venthyr.
One-third of Revendreths were burnt to ashes with the holy fire by the violent Naarus. The light-sculpted ashes wasteland still stands on the land of Venthyrs, and the holy fire of that year has not been extinguished to this day.
Sire Denathrius asked other Eternal Ones for help, and you all went there, although you didn't stay there long, because Venthyr himself found a way to expel Naaru, and they formed the powerful Stone Legion.
And shortly after that, the moonlight of Ardenweald disappeared.
That time difference is an opportunity for the One, and more importantly, because Venthyr happens to be hit by a disaster, no one will doubt them."
"Yeah, that's their the One chance."
Winter Queen nodded, but Elune noticed that her sister used "them", and she asked:
"So, there's more than one person?"
"Well, Sire Denathrius and Zovaal must have worked together. Maybe there are other people involved."
Winter Queen patted the armrest of her throne and said:
"There are some things that I have never told the Night Faes under my command. The nightmares and nightmares in the Other Side dimension of Ardenweald have been abnormally active, and there is some kind of "something" lurking in it.
That guy is very cunning, and it escaped my personal pursuit several times.
I suspect that it comes from the Maw, but it is very familiar with Ardenweald. This land was created by me. There is only one place that is not made by my hands, and that is Bwonsamdi's "The Other Side".
Therefore, I once suspected that the disgusting Bwonsamdi was hiding in the Other Side to plot a conspiracy, and the slippery Trolls God of Death did not deny it."
"It's his adoptive father!
That is the oldest Loa God of Death in the Star Sea, with the titles Son of Time, Father of Sleep, and Friend of Eternal Night. Poor Bwonsamdi dare not resist the cruel Mueh'zala, so I can only hint you in this way. In fact, it also has its own reasons.
But unfortunately, you don't seem to be a leader who is keen enough to understand Bwonsamdi's voiceover."
Diakum sighed and said:
"Perhaps Mueh'zala, with the help of strong support, stole the moonlight of White Lady, causing Ardenweald to fall into eternal night, and then used this incident to create a terrible misunderstanding, turning Moon Goddess and Winter Queen into enemies, directly affecting Life and Death's Great Cycle.
Material World's life continues to decline, and the number of deaths that cannot be released and balanced increases day by day.
This obviously helps Zovaal build his army of Mawsworn, and also satisfies Sire Denathrius's twisted desire to make others feel pain.
He wants to see the pain caused by the misunderstanding between the two of you, and He is intoxicated by the drama of family antagonism.
The most important thing is that without the help of Ms. Elune, Ardenweald can only wither and weaken like this. I learned about Zovaal from Primus's diary I know the specific story of how was exiled to Judgment. It was you who used your great power to restrain Zovaal from being exiled to the Maw, right?"
"Well, I bind His life and power."
Winter Queen explained:
"It is precisely because of this restraint that Zovaal can only be eternally weak and unable to escape from the cage. But the current development seems to mean that my restraint has failed and Zovaal has become strong again.
But what's confusing is that my seal is obviously still very strong, how did Zovaal regain his power?"
"The answer is, He didn't get his power back, Queen."
Diakum shrugged and said:
"The answer is that Zovaal turned his curse into power. Domination was specially developed by Primus to seal Zovaal, which was used by Lord of the Maw in turn.
Zovaal has completely abandoned his former path of "arbitration" and instead seeks a future of domination of all things. You have tried your best and consumed Ardenweald's anima to block only a weapon abandoned by Zovaal.
I guess this is also part of Sire Denathrius's plan, to strengthen our own side while consuming potential opponents."
"Oh my God."
Ms. Winter Queen and Ms. Elune sighed at the same time.
They don't quite understand why Diakum is so clear about Denathrius's evil plan, but they trust Diakum's judgment at this time.
If this is true, it means that Winter Queen wasted too much precious energy on maintaining the useless prison seal when Ardenweald faced the desperate situation of withering.
Not just her, the entire Shadowlands and other Eternal Ones were fooled.
But the good news is that the misunderstanding has finally been resolved.
"Those Animas"
Winter Queen took a deep breath and said:
"I will take them back immediately, so that the withered forestland can be rejuvenated. At least for the next period of time, Night Fae people don't have to worry about this."
"No!"
Ms. Elune and Diakum spoke to stop them at the same time, and Diakum said directly:
"Use those animas to resurrect the spirit seeds!
The great cycle of life and death has been affected for too long, Queen, although it is harsh to say this, but now, you must choose one between "maintaining the destiny" and "balancing the great cycle"."
"But what about my woodland!"
Winter Queen scolded:
"Am I going to sacrifice my own children for the resurrection of those Material World's Eternal Spirit, for the sake of returning them to my sister's moonlight?
How can you be so selfish!"
"I promise you"
Diakum stood up, and in the moonlight shrouded by Ms. Elune, he said:
"The problem of lack of anima will be solved soon, and Ardenweald's anima supply will soon be restored to normal levels."
"What guarantee do you have?"
Winter Queen asked sharply.
Dick marked Holy Crest on his chest, and he whispered:
"Revendreth is my next stop! I will solve the disaster of missing anima, and also the person who caused this disaster. If you are willing, I can even give you his skull as compensation for your mental losses.
No need to worry about maintaining your destiny.
Destiny Order may not completely collapse, but it will inevitably undergo a "self-evolution" after being broken, and then it will be you and Primus who will maintain and promote this "new life".
I have no control over where the two of you will take Death Force in the future, and I have no ability to.
But at least in this era, the already over-expanded death must undergo a weakening. There is no need to bother others, I will complete it myself."
