"That's right."
I'd rather not refuse an identity offered for free.
Jiang Ran instantly transformed into a moon messenger. Since he didn't choose to save the Goddess of the Night directly, he could be considered one of the half-moon's people, right?
Our main focus is on a flexible belief system.
"My lord, please come in!"
The young man dared not stop Jiang Ran outside any longer and quickly invited him into the village. The cemetery outside was so neat and tidy, but the village was completely different.
Compared to the smooth stone-paved roads in the cemetery, the cemetery village only uses some simple sections made of broken stones, and the rest are all muddy roads.
"Everyone, come out and greet them!"
"The divine messenger has arrived!"
The young man led Jiang Ran into the village. He wanted to inform the village chief as soon as possible, but he dared not leave the divine messenger's side directly, for fear of being seen as negligent. So he could only gather the whole village together in this simple way!
"It really is the Divine Envoy!"
"The sublime moon has finally sent His messenger! Oh! Praise be to the moon!"
"Divine messenger? What divine messenger? I've never heard of such a thing."
Aransta was also mixed in with the group. He followed the crowd's gaze and froze on the spot.
"Jiang Ran?"
"What the hell is going on?! How did he become a divine messenger?!"
Alansta was the first to arrive at the graveyard village. It took him a lot of effort to get into the village, and he only gained the initial trust by helping the villagers with a few small favors. Then, Jiang Ran suddenly appeared out of nowhere and had maxed out his favorability right from the start?!
"Hmph, it's definitely a disguise!"
"You can pretend to be a divine messenger for a while, but not forever!"
Aransta saw the village chief walk out of the crowd and stand in front of Jiang Ran, looking him up and down.
"The village chief is highly respected and the wise leader of the entire village. He is absolutely capable of seeing through your disguise, Jiang Ran!"
Then, the village chief immediately knelt down!
"A divine messenger! A true divine messenger! We will obey the command of the sublime moon!"
Aransta's eyes widened.
No, old man, where's your grace? Where's your wisdom?!
Could it be that the talent Jiang Ran drew in this dungeon is called "Intelligence-Depressing Aura"?
Jiang Ran hadn't expected the old man to make such a big fuss, so she quickly helped him up.
"What instructions does the Divine Envoy have?"
"Instructions...why don't you fix the road first?"
Jiang Ran was a little confused. Every place related to the moon was dilapidated. What necessary connection did this have with the moon?
"Great!" The village chief patted his chest. "Gather the whole village immediately, and we'll start repairing the road right away!"
"No... I don't think there's any need to rush."
It took a lot of effort to get the other villagers back to their homes. The sudden appearance of a divine messenger was still too shocking for them, and they probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Oh, judging from the time, most people were probably woken up directly from their sleep.
Jiang Ran came here to uncover the secrets of the tomb village, not to chat with the villagers. So he directly told the village chief that he wanted to talk to him alone, and the village chief naturally had no reason to refuse.
Can I come along?
Aransta pointed to himself.
The village chief coldly rejected him: "I'm talking to the divine messenger, what right do you, a mere child, have to interrupt? Go play somewhere else."
Aransta: ? ? ?
How could he remember that he was the main character?
Jiang Ran put her hand on his shoulder: "Remember, don't dream about it anymore, really."
He thought Jiang Ran was mocking him for dreaming, but Jiang Ran really meant it literally.
Jiang Ran and the village chief entered the secret room. The village chief closed the door and sat facing Jiang Ran.
“My Lord, we have waited too long for this day.”
The village chief began to excitedly discuss doctrine with Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran couldn't understand what he was saying, but he just nodded and occasionally hummed in agreement. Whenever the village chief asked him a question about the moon, he would simply reply, "God said, it cannot be spoken."
If you're a charlatan, you have to be aware of what a charlatan is like.
The core of a charlatan is simply showing off!
Only when others can't understand you will they think you're amazing. So becoming a riddle teller is the first step to becoming a charlatan. Ideally, you yourself shouldn't even know what you're talking about.
In any case, as long as he has the power of the moon, and as long as Jiang Ran doesn't directly oppose the moon, his identity as a divine messenger will be confirmed in the eyes of the villagers!
As the village chief continued to confide in Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran gradually regained her mental strength.
He couldn't directly ask the village chief about the secrets of the moon, otherwise it would seem that he, as the "divine messenger," was quite incompetent and knew nothing. However, he could let the village chief tell him himself.
This is a miracle from the Wheel of Fortune.
"My lord, please follow me."
The village chief stood up, called Jiang Ran, and went to a corner of the secret room. He fiddled with the bookshelf for a bit, and a secret passage appeared.
The two followed the passage to a deeper secret room. Jiang Ran looked around and saw that the room was filled with bookshelves. The bookshelves were made of wood and were somewhat rotten, and the books on them looked quite old.
There was no obvious dust on the bookshelf, which showed that someone took care of it every day, which was quite good. Jiang Ran thought that anything related to the moon would be dilapidated, but it seems that they do take care of things they value.
Jiang Ran followed the bookshelf with her gaze and then noticed the mural hanging between the two rows of bookshelves.
It was a portrait of a goddess, but it was upside down.
The goddess in the painting is dressed in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, her feet are bound by chains, and her entire upper body is sinking into darkness, with only her eyes retaining two beams of silver light.
Why would there be such a blasphemous painting of a goddess here? You must know that although the worshippers of the moon believe in the moon, they essentially still believe that they worship a goddess, so how could they allow such a painting to appear here?
On the bookshelves on either side of the mural, there are two tarot cards, one on the left and one on the right.
On the left is a "star", and on the right is a "sun".
The village chief stepped forward and gently stroked the mural.
"Darkness shrouded the world, but the goddess bore this pain for everyone, allowing us to continue to live on in this world."
"He is loving, and He will protect His people, but this is not a good thing for Him."
The village chief turned his head.
"After all, the 'Hanged Man' represents sacrifice."
"He became the moon, illuminating the darkness."
The village chief took out the "star" card.
"Therefore, we must hold onto hope—"
He then took out the "Sun" card.
"Welcome the 'sun' that will eventually come."
"Praise the moon!"
