The Moon Goddess is also known as the Goddess of Beauty. Among the elves, there is an unwritten rule if you want to talk to the Moon Goddess Selene, which is that you must dress yourself up well and show your most handsome and beautiful side to show respect for the Moon Goddess.
This tradition has a long history and has been passed down from generation to generation. No one has ever dared to violate it.
And why doesn't Merlin need to do this?
The moon goddess Selene glanced at Merlin, her eyes full of satisfaction and appreciation.
That was naturally because Merlin was already the most handsome man Selene had ever seen. He didn't need to dress up deliberately. He was the embodiment of handsomeness. This was also the reason why Selene was willing to stay in Merlin's body.
Merlin stared at the handsome man in front of him with wide eyes in shock, his mouth slightly open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
It must be said that elves are really blessed creatures. They seem to be particularly favored by nature in terms of appearance. I have been in Aize for so long and have never seen an ugly one. They are all handsome men and beautiful women, as if they were born with beauty filters.
Especially those who have status and are powerful, their looks are as good as a cheat, and they go hand in hand with their strength.
Take Hoyd in front of us for example. He was an old man just now, but in the blink of an eye he has become so graceful and elegant. It is truly amazing.
Hoyde saluted the Moon God respectfully again, kneeling on one knee, with his upper body straight, his right fist clenched on his left chest, and bowed his head and said: "Great Lord Moon God, I beg you to show me what I can do for you. I hope that you can recover your strength as soon as possible and lead our elves to glory again."
His voice was sincere and firm, and his eyes sparkled with a fiery light, which showed his respect for the Moon Goddess and his expectations for the future of his tribe.
The Moon Goddess raised her head slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "It is highly likely that you cannot get something that can repair the Godhead, except for one thing, of course."
Hoyde quickly asked, "What is it? Please tell me clearly, Master Moon God."
Moon Goddess Selene opened her red lips and said, "The power of faith."
"The power of faith?"
The power of faith can be sensed when one reaches the seventh level, but it is not an easy task to contain and use it freely.
Hoyd knew the ins and outs of this very well. As the Pope of the Temple of Nature and a demigod, he naturally possessed the power of faith.
After all, when believers devoutly believe in the God of Nature, they will also allocate a portion of their faith to him as a reward for his guidance and protection.
After hearing this, Hoyde did not hesitate at all. In a moment, he slowly drew out the power of faith that he had accumulated over the years, turning it into a pure golden ball of light. He carefully handed it to Selene: "Lord Moon God, this is all my power of faith. Although it is insignificant, I hope it can help you."
Selene waved her hand gently and smiled: "Your power of faith is not needed, you should keep it for yourself to repair the chain."
Her tone was playful yet full of unquestionable determination.
Hoyde didn't expect that the Moon God would not take away his power of faith even when he was in such a desperate need of power. His eyes became moist for a moment and his heart was filled with emotion: "Lord Moon God, even if this is the case, I still hope you can accept it and restore your divine power." His voice trembled slightly, full of persistence.
Seeing this, Selene rolled her eyes and waved her hand again, her tone helpless but intimate: "No, just follow my orders, Hoyd."
At the same time, I thought, what can you do with that little bit of faith power you have? It’s not as much as what Merlin gave me. So, if I want to repair my godhood and return to its peak, I have to rely on Merlin!
To put it bluntly, they disliked that Hoyd's power of faith was too weak to play a key role.
Seeing that Lord Moon God was determined and unwilling to accept it, Hoyde felt a little disappointed, but he could only follow his words and collect the power of faith.
Then, Hoyde said to the Moon God solemnly: "Lord Moon God, now that you have returned and can respond to believers, can the Moon Temple be restarted? In this way, you can also collect more power of faith and speed up the recovery process."
When he mentioned the Moon Temple, his eyes flickered with hope, as if he had already seen the day when the Moon Temple would regain its glory.
"The Moon Temple!" Selene's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, and her thoughts seemed to drift back to the glorious days of the past.
The Moon Temple is the Moon Cult, a church founded by Selene's loyal followers in the mortal world. However, due to the Moon Goddess's slumber over the years, the Moon Temple has lost its former glory.
But as long as the Moon Goddess can respond to her believers again, the Moon Temple will once again become the strongest temple of the elves.
In order to speed up its recovery process, the Moon Temple should indeed restore its former glory.
Moon Goddess Selene nodded slightly, her eyes firm and firm: "You are right, Hoyd, it is necessary to restart the Moon Temple."
Hoyde said to Selene with a serious expression: "The current situation of the Moon Temple is not good. Many key positions are vacant. Currently, there is no Pope or Saint in the Moon Temple. There are only three High Priests of the Moon, one of whom is our friend Merlin."
He paused and continued to introduce, "The other two, one is the current Elf Queen, she rules the elves and has a high prestige; the other is Elsa, who is a teacher at the Arcane Academy. She is free and easy by nature and likes to travel around, but she is also devout in her belief in the Moon Goddess."
Well, it is quite pious! Merlin and Luna looked at each other and thought about what happened that day in the teacher's apartment.
"Although the Moon Temple has lost its former glory, among the elves, the Moon God is still the most popular and has the largest number of believers."
Hoyde frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "But this position of Pope is related to the rise and fall of the Moon Temple, and it must not be taken lightly. It can only be selected from the Moon High Priests of the Moon Temple."
Upon hearing this, Selene's gaze slowly shifted towards Merlin, with a look of consideration in her eyes.
Merlin was shocked and thought to himself: Could it be that the Moon Goddess wants to choose me as Pope? Is it so cool? The thought of becoming the Pope of the Moon Temple would give him the supreme status among the elves. No matter where he goes in the future, the elves will have to be respectful to him and let him do whatever he wants!
Merlin is not the kind of person who would shirk his responsibilities. If the Moon Goddess really chooses him, he will definitely accept it with great enthusiasm.
After all, Merlin is now the secretary of the municipal party committee of the Arcane City and the real person in charge of the Arcane Academy. There is absolutely no problem for him to work part-time as the Pope. He is like a fish in water.
Hoyde seemed to see through Merlin's thoughts and the Moon Goddess' hesitation, and couldn't help but speak: "Although Merlin is the High Priest of the Moon, he is a human after all, not an elf. If a human is allowed to serve as the Pope of the Moon Temple, it will definitely cause turmoil among the elves, and many elves will not be able to accept it."
