The huge team lined up in an orderly manner and welcomed the arrival of Merlin and Elsa with an extremely grand ceremony.
Even Alex and Lorenzo, who had led Merlin and the others along the way, these two distinguished high-level elves, knelt down on one knee in front of Merlin and Elsa without hesitation at this moment. Their movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation at all.
They lowered their heads, with their foreheads almost touching the ground, and sincerely welcomed the arrival of the two high priests of the Moon Temple amid the solemn and blessing chanting of the Moon Temple priests.
"Welcome, honorable High Priest Merlin, your arrival makes the moonlight clearer; welcome, great High Priest Elsa, your light will shine with the Moon Goddess. May the grace of the Moon Goddess always protect you, and may your footsteps bring endless blessings to the Forest of Elves..." The priests' blessings were like a passionate hymn, circling and echoing over the city.
All the elves around, regardless of gender, age or status, who saw this scene, knelt on the ground without hesitation as if drawn by an invisible force. They clasped their hands together in front of their chests, their eyes filled with the most sincere blessings and warm welcomes.
The scene was like a grand worship, shocking and moving.
Whether it was other races who came to visit the city and were stunned by this sudden solemn scene, or other nobles who came to attend the coronation of the Pope of the Moon Temple, they all opened their eyes wide, with shock and shock written on their faces.
They never imagined that in this seemingly peaceful forest of elves, there was hidden such a strict hierarchy and solemn religious ceremony, and they never expected that Merlin and Elsa had such a supreme status in the hearts of the elves.
Merlin's classmates were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
In the Arcane Academy, Elsa was already famous, and many people knew that she was the High Priestess of the Moon, but who would have thought that Merlin, in addition to being the President of the Student Union, also had such a respected identity.
This huge contrast made the students unable to recover for a while.
Of course, Staci and the others were elves who also believed in the Moon God and were also nuns in the Moon Temple. They were already familiar with this scene.
At this moment, he naturally followed the elves and knelt down on one knee. His eyes showed the same piety as everyone else. He silently chanted words of praise to the Moon Goddess and blended into the solemn atmosphere.
When Merlin first saw this huge crowd kneeling down to him in unison, he was stunned for a moment. His mind went blank and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. He was at a loss as to what to do.
Although he has gone through many ups and downs in these days, encountered many big and small things like stars, and attended countless large-scale activities, through those experiences, he has already developed extraordinary courage and momentum.
But the current scene made him lose his composure.
The scene on the elves' side was completely different from his previous experiences. Looking at everyone kneeling down devoutly, he was at a loss for a moment and had no idea how to deal with this situation.
The Moon Goddess in Merlin's body sensed his embarrassment and secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that Merlin's behavior at the moment was too coy.
In the eyes of the Moon Goddess, kneeling to the High Priest of the Moon is a matter of course. After all, he is a noble being in the Moon Temple second only to the Pope of the Moon Temple, and his status in the elves is firmly in the highest tier.
Moreover, the elves are a race that places great emphasis on bloodline and status, and the concept of strict hierarchy has long been deeply rooted in their hearts.
Just when Merlin was in trouble, Elsa keenly sensed his difficulties and took a step forward.
She was graceful and elegant. She faced everyone present, cleared her throat, and said in a voice as sweet as a nightingale: "Dear fellow elves, we are gathered here today, thanks to the blessing of the Moon Goddess, so that we can join together for this great event. May the light of the Moon Goddess always illuminate our way forward, bless every devout believer, make our forest evergreen, make our magic more powerful, and make our lives full of hope..."
His words were filled with respect for the Moon Goddess and concern for his people. Everyone listened with fascination, and the piety on their faces became more and more intense.
After saying that, Elsa turned slightly and looked at Merlin with a hint of suggestion in her eyes.
Merlin was so smart that he understood immediately. He quickly imitated Elsa, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "As High Priest Elsa said, the Moon God always favors us. As the High Priest of the Moon, I, Merlin, am willing to protect the glory of the Moon God together with you and pass on the Moon God's love to every corner."
Merlin's voice was slightly trembling at first, but as his words progressed, it gradually became steady and powerful, echoing in everyone's ears.
The moment Merlin opened his mouth, the Moon Goddess seized the opportunity and slightly mobilized the moonlight.
In an instant, the originally calm sky seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible giant hand, and the bright moonlight poured down like water, flickering and floating around Merlin.
The moonlight was dreamy, like countless lively elves dancing, exuding a mysterious and charming atmosphere.
Under the excited and almost fanatical gazes of countless elves, the moonlight seemed to be summoned by something and slowly entered their bodies.
For a moment, the elves only felt a warm and powerful force flowing in their bodies. The feeling of fatigue dissipated instantly, and their magic power seemed to be nourished and became more abundant.
Originally, many elves were actually very unhappy in their hearts. After all, they had to kneel down to a human like Merlin. Even though they knew that he was the High Priest of the Moon, the racial barriers and arrogance still made them feel resentful.
But at this moment, having actually received the benefits of the Moonlight Blessing, and having witnessed with his own eyes how Merlin could perform such magical Moonlight Blessing spells with just a wave of his hand, his dissatisfaction with Merlin naturally faded a little.
Elsa, who was standing by, saw it all. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, a sour feeling rose in her heart, and she snorted in dissatisfaction.
The believers of the Moon Temple stood up respectfully and lined up in two orderly teams. The moonlight robes they wore swayed gently in the wind, like flowing moonlight.
The priests in the lead held staffs inlaid with sparkling gems, with the tips of the staffs slightly raised, leading the direction and signaling Merlin and Elsa to follow them.
Merlin and Elsa looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed the believers towards the Moon Temple.
As for the rest of the people who came with them, under the careful arrangement of the elves such as Alex and Lorenzo, they were taken to a resting place specially prepared for them. The environment there was quiet and the facilities were complete, which would surely allow them to relax after a long journey.
