Chapter 33 Please Forgive My Selfishness (Please Read)
Elemental elves.

For many people, it is definitely an ancient and unfamiliar name, and some have even only seen it in ancient books.

It is said that only when one's affinity with elements reaches an extremely exaggerated level can one gain the recognition of the elemental spirits and establish a contract.

Even in the heyday of magic three hundred years ago, magicians who successfully contracted elemental spirits were extremely rare, and all of them were like chosen ones of heaven.

now.

They actually saw the legendary elemental spirits with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe it!
"Didn't they say that the elemental spirits have become extinct?"

"This is the first time I've seen an elemental spirit!"

"It's her, the eldest daughter of the Wright family!"

"Why can a person who fainted from blood gain the favor of the elemental spirits?"

envy!

Deeply jealous!
Seeing that it was Licia who contracted the elemental spirit, everyone who came here was almost going crazy with jealousy.

They were obviously braver and more powerful in the encirclement and suppression operations, so why didn't they get such a good thing?
That's an elemental elf!

A legendary existence!

Even though magic has declined now, it can still make their reputation even more famous and become a powerful force in the fight for inheritance of the title.

Just imagine.

There are two heirs in the family with equal abilities, but one of them has been favored by the elemental elves. Which one will the family choose?
The answer is of course the latter!
Because a good reputation is also an important indicator for assessing the ability of an heir.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people adding various titles before their names, such as Dragon Slayer, Storm Lord, Hand of Annihilation...

This is a symbol of ability.

It is also something that countless people cannot obtain.

"Look, the people from the temple are coming!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd.

A group of priests in white robes came hurriedly from a distance, and everyone unconsciously made way for them.

Licia, who was still feeling the nature, opened her eyes, and a trace of disgust flashed in her calm eyes.

In her opinion.

These people are no different from the demons in hell, and even the demons are more upright than them.

"First introduce yourself."

As soon as the temple team arrived, an old man with a gentle smile at the head walked up to her and performed standard aristocratic etiquette.

"I am Raymond Laurent, the high priest of the Qingyuan Province Temple Branch. Nice to meet you, Miss Licia."

The words fell.

The crowd fell into chaos again.

Raymond Laurent, whose status is second only to the bishop, is said to have reached the sixth level many years ago. He is also one of the persons in charge of this clearing operation.

I didn't expect that he would come here in person.

"Your Excellency the High Priest, do you have something to ask me?"

Licia spoke slowly, but her eyes were fixed on a figure among the priests' team.

It was that demon who mercilessly used soul dispersal to kill an innocent little girl less than five meters away from her.

She will never forget that scene!

only.

Raymond didn't notice her strangeness and smiled and said, "Although it's a bit presumptuous, I would like to invite Miss Licia to become a deacon of the temple. What do you think?"

Lisia shuddered when she heard this, and the disgust in her heart deepened.

As the person in charge of this cleanup operation, Raymond's hands are undoubtedly stained with the most and the dirtiest blood.

She originally wanted to refuse and expose the other party's evil deeds, but she didn't.

After a long silence, he finally seemed to have figured it out and nodded: "Okay, I choose to join."

Yes.

Licia was mad. But it was the only solution she could think of.

After all, the power of one person is too weak. If you want to completely change this distorted belief, you must start from within.

Not only does she want to join the temple, but she also wants to work hard to become the one in charge of the temple. Only in this way can she change all this corruption!
"Lord Moon God, please forgive my selfishness."

Licia closed her eyes, her heart trembling.

From the moment she made the soul oath, she had only one belief, and that was the Moon Goddess.

But in order to achieve her goal, she had no choice but to do this.

When everyone saw her like this, they thought she was crying for joy and started talking about it.

"I'm glad you made this choice. On behalf of the Temple, I welcome Miss Licia."

High Priest Raymond had a satisfied smile on his face.

Without saying anything more, he simply gave a few instructions and turned away, disappearing into the noisy crowd.

It didn't take long.

The news that the high priest personally invited the eldest daughter of the Wright family to join the temple spread throughout the clearing team.

Thanks to the Temple's powerful public relations capabilities, Licia's reputation also underwent a huge reversal.

He fainted at the beginning due to poor psychological endurance, and then he finally fell into a coma due to exhaustion from treating too many wounded.

Her kindness and goodness were recognized by the elemental elves, who made a contract with them. This turned out to be a touching story of the Virgin Mary saving the world, and attracted countless people to sing praises.

"Is this... the temple?"

Standing at the prayer ceremony held for her in the temple, Licia felt as if she were in another world.

Just recently, she was ridiculed by others, who said that she was unworthy of being the heir to the Wright family and brought shame to the nobility.

As a result, now everyone greets her with a smile, and all the slanderous words have turned into compliments.

It was as if they were not the ones who said those words before.

Perhaps Lady Moon God chose to leave because she hated this kind of world?

"What are you thinking about, Licia?"

At this time, Baron Wright, who had just finished celebrating with the knights, came over with a beaming face.

"Nothing, Father."

Licia forced a smile, then looked up at the sky which was gradually getting darker. "I was just wondering if the Temple would support me in practicing both natural magic and holy light magic at the same time."

“So that’s what’s worrying you.”

The baron reached out his hand lovingly and touched her head. "Don't worry. Apart from necromancy and curse witchcraft, the temple does not restrict individuals from practicing other magic. On the contrary, if you make some achievements in natural magic, it will be helpful for your future promotion."

"That's good."

Lisia responded softly, a small smile on her lips.

Under the bright starry sky, her long hair fluttered in the wind, as if blending into the starry sky.

……

"Ahh~"

"Who is scolding me?"

On the Moon Goddess altar, Rhodes sneezed and looked around suspiciously.

Since the Black Moon incident, the altar has enjoyed a rare peace, and he finally has time to implement his previous idea and use the branches of the mutant trees for grafting and planting!
This is not.

As soon as I had some free time.

He went to the plantation, cut two branches, and started working on the open space at the other end.

"Okay, just dig this deep, put the branch in and see."

Under Rhodes' command, the little creature and the soul raven held the branches in their mouths, carefully placed them into the newly dug pit, and covered it with soil.

He continued to cast spells, releasing cultivation and rainfall, while observing the growth of the branches.
