Chapter 315: Undead Construct

In the Moonlight Woodlands.
A beam of moonlight shone down and focused on Lara’s body. In an instant, white steam rose from her skin.
Lara’s body stiffened, and her eyes turned white.
Matthew instantly noticed that the moonlight he attracted not only failed to turn Lara into a ” servant of the moon “, but it also had a burning effect on her body!
He reacted quickly and cancelled the moonlight in time!
[Prompt: The Goddess of Moonlight, Assia, has rejected your request to transform Lara into a Moon Servant.]
He was rejected.
Matthew felt a little regretful.
Perhaps it was because he had been doing too little recently that Assia was a little dissatisfied, so she refused to provide further help.
Originally, Lila joining the Moonlight Faction was the best choice.
Because of their power and territory, Assia and the Midnight God were natural enemies. Generally speaking, the Goddess of Moonlight would accept Lara.
The Moonlight Woodlands was the goddess’ kingdom, and Galan’s power could not reach here. He wouldn’t know what happened to Lara inside the forest. This was also one of the reasons why Matthew was bold enough to try.
Unfortunately, the result was not satisfactory.
However, Matthew was not discouraged. Although the goddess rejected him directly, she gave him something else.
Matthew noticed.
After the moonlight disappeared, a picture of a bright moon half-covered by dark clouds appeared on Lara’s forehead.
It was another mark of the Goddess of Moonlight.
[Hint: Your partner Lila has received the basic blessing of the Goddess of Moon, Assia, the Traveler’s Mark.
[Traveler’s Seal: The holder of this seal will be blessed by the moonlight. Recite any one of the 333 ” Hymns of the Moon ” for 5 minutes under the moonlight, and you will have the opportunity to apply to enter the Moonlight Woodlight.]
[After obtaining the goddess’ permission, one will have the opportunity to enter the forest to rest for a moment.]
Traveler.
It was also one of Assia’s responsibilities.
Her response was very clever. She rejected Matthew’s exorbitant price and gave him a little benefit.
Lara, who had obtained the Traveler’s Mark, would have the opportunity to enter the forest on her own.
But the premise was that Matthew had to do more things to please the goddess.
This mark would not affect the relationship between Lara and Galan.
At the same time, this also preserved the possibility of transforming Lara into Matthew’s personal servant in the future.
“As expected of an old demon who has lived for who knows how many years. She played hard to get and grasped it to perfection. This method of handling was also flawless.”
Matthew sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Lara had also come back to her senses.
She touched the mark on her forehead, and her emotions rose a little, which was rare.
“Can the Oak Chamber of Commerce’s North-South Trade Route start operating?”
Matthew led her to the altar and said, “There’s no rush. How’s your study of human society and culture?”
Lara answered honestly, “Learning that knowledge was very difficult for me. I felt that I was even dumber than an underground warthog, so I could only do my best. However, Lady Jinli said that I did a good job. I don’t know if she was sincerely praising me or just comforting me.”
Matthew replied,
“Miss Jinli has always been objective. She won’t easily praise a student. Since she said you did well, then you really did well.” Lara didn’t say anything for a while.
However, her footsteps had obviously become lighter.
The two of them came to the altar.
Under Matthew’s call, Ella quickly appeared.
“Matthew, I didn’t expect you to come so early this time. Samantha and Clegg are still on the way. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a while.”
Ella happily stopped on Matthew’s shoulder.
However, very quickly.
She jumped to the other shoulder.
Ella quickly glanced at the Drow warrior wrapped in bandages and whispered in Matthew’s ear, “I don’t like her!”
Her voice was not loud.
But Lara could clearly hear it. Matthew tilted his head and reminded,
“You didn’t like me when you first met me.”
Ella subconsciously argued,
” You are different. You are a very special existence, but Drows are born with the original sin.”
Matthew was planning to give the stubborn Nature Soul a lesson on ideology.
Who knew that at this moment, Lara actually took the initiative to say,
‘ She’s right. Drows are born evil. Nature Soul, I apologize to you for my own life and for Drows. I’ve always wanted to completely shed this layer of skin and change my identity, but unfortunately, I can’t do so.”
At this point, she paused for a moment, pain and frustration flashing across her eyes. She said in a low voice,
“If the God’s Fire of Retribution could wash away the original sin in my blood, I should be burned alive. However, I couldn’t get rid of my longing for life. At the critical moment of life and death, I was weak. I sold my soul again in exchange for a night of sleep. I’m still alive, and I’m living quite well, so this Nature Soul is right. I’m living in this world with sin.”
Matthew knew that Lara’s heart was always filled with pain and struggle, but he did not expect it to be this serious.
He patted Ella gently and comforted her,
” After experiencing that divine punishment, you have been reborn from the ashes. Lara, you are no longer the person you were in the past. You don’t have to be obsessed with the memories of the past. You should embrace a new life and a new world..”
