When the bell of the Goddess Temple rang, all the elves in the side hall stopped talking.
At this time, at the door of the side hall, two female elves wearing temple robes walked in.
"Everyone, please follow me!" One of the female elves bowed.
All the elves on the spot consciously lined up according to their positions. Abel was arranged by Queen Luisa and the big druids, so he was placed in the first place.
When he walked into the temple's main hall, he saw that there were already 10 elves standing under the altar. There was a band on the side of the main hall, and an elf was playing an organ. The organ covered the entire wall of the main hall, extending from the wall all the way to the ceiling. There was also a harp, a small drum, and other instruments on the side to accompany it.
The sound of the organ was melodious and directly penetrated one's soul. Everyone who heard it felt a sense of holiness.
Of course, this sense of holiness didn't come out of nowhere. At least Abel sensed the shadow of divine power in it. It was everywhere in the temple, so everyone who entered could feel the greatness of the gods.
Abel and the other elves stood on both sides of the main hall. There was about five meters of empty space in the middle. Just when he thought there were only that many elves, many more elves walked in from outside the main hall.
These elves' status was obviously lower than the elves in the side hall, so they only entered at this time.
Soon, there were hundreds of elves standing in the temple. It could be said that almost all the elites of the elves were gathered here.
Abel saw three master potion masters from the potion maker guild, a few very famous advanced potion makers, and some important family members. As for the other elves, Abel didn't recognize them.
When all the elves stood still, the sound of the organ changed, and the music changed.
At the same time, ten Druil walked in. They were all wearing temple robes and surrounded Saintess Lorraine, who was wearing a golden robe.
Lorraine had a light golden crown on her head and a scepter in her hand. She was emitting a sense of holiness.
When she slowly walked in, all the elves bowed down. Abel was a step slower than the other elves, and he didn't want to stand out too much, so he could only bow down as well.
Lorraine took a few steps forward and began to sing along with the music of the organ band. It was a hymn sung in the language of the high elves.
Abel heard the hymn describing the Goddess of the Moon's bravery, her compassion, her kindness, her love, and so on. This was a song that completely praised the Goddess of the Moon.
What surprised him even more was that with Lorraine's chanting, the power of faith in the entire main hall began to dance. This power of faith, which ordinary elves usually couldn't see, appeared at this time, reflecting all kinds of blurred colors and shapes in the air.
The main palace was like a world of gods, and all of the elves were intoxicated. It was unclear whether they were entranced by the chanting or the light.
Loraine's chanting continued until she reached the top of the altar, and she finally stopped.
The ten big Druil from the temple stood under the altar. They did not follow Lorraine in.
Lorraine knelt down in front of the Goddess of the Moon's statue. The light from the statue shined on her face, making her look extra solemn.
From the side of the altar, 3 female elves wearing special robes walked up with 3 plates in their hands.
"Master Bennett, these 3 are the elders of the temple. How did they become so young? If they weren't wearing elder robes, I wouldn't have recognized them!" Big Druil Joseph lowered his head and whispered to Abel.
Abel looked at the 3 elders. They looked very young, like young female elves who had just come of age, but he could feel the aura of old age from them.
These 3 elders were probably very old among the elves.
He then looked at the 10 big Druil from the temple. They also looked very young.
"Did Lorraine bribe the entire temple with the beauty potion?" Abel thought to himself.
Other than Abel's beauty potion, which was made from materials synthesized by the Hradik Cube, there was no other treasure in the world that could have such an effect.
The three elders were holding three plates with three kinds of fruits on them. These three fruits were all spirit fruits grown in a magic environment. Traces of nature aura were constantly exuding from them. At a glance, one could tell that they had just been picked.
The 3 plates were placed on the altar in front of the statue. The 3 elders bowed, and the 2nd and 3rd elders stepped to the side.
Abel realized that Lorraine, who was kneeling in front of the statue, had almost merged with the statue. Lorraine's body was beginning to be completely covered by the power of faith.
"Under the protection of the great goddess of the moon, the elves have resisted the attack of the evil gods. The elves have paid a heavy price for this. The goddess of the moon will not forget any elves who have fought for the elves. The souls of the dead elves will enter the kingdom of god!" The great elder's voice was heavy and powerful.
Many of the elves in the temple had participated in the war. Some of their people were killed, some fought bravely, and some had their homes destroyed. When they heard the great elder's words, they began to recall the scene.
The elves who had lost their loved ones began to cry. About 1000 Druil had died. It was the cruelest war the elves had experienced in the past 1000 years.
The great elder began to say the names of the dead elves one by one. As she said the names one by one, every dead elf seemed to have been taken back to the kingdom of god at this moment. "On this day, we must praise the goddess of the moon and give our faith to her. The goddess of the moon will become even stronger. May the goddess of the moon bless us!" she said loudly.
"May the goddess of the moon bless us!" the elves bowed.
The great elder nodded in the direction of the organ band and said to the elves in the temple, "Please sing the hymn!"
As the organ started to play again, all the elves began to sing the hymn.
Of course, the most awkward one was Abel. This was the first time he knew that he had to sing hymns to participate in the celebration. He had never learned it before.
He could only pretend not to say anything. However, there were many Druil in the temple, and his condition could not escape the senses of the great Druil.
On one hand, Abel's status was too noble, far beyond the elves' level. On the other hand, he had received special attention from the goddess of the moon and signed an equal contract with the tree of life.
The big druids couldn't say much about these two points. At least, they noticed that the temple's big druids didn't have much to say about this.
The great Druil Joseph and the great Druil Poly beside Abel began to blame themselves. Why didn't they tell Master Bennett about the hymn?
The great Druil and Steward Myer could not be blamed for the hymn. The elves believed in the goddess of the moon, and this hymn was something that every elf had learned since they were young.
They didn't know that Abel was a fake elf. He had no faith at all, and he had never participated in any celebration.
If Lorraine from the temple didn't personally invite him, and he happened to be free, he wouldn't have come.
As the elves were singing, a ray of holy power was sent out from the goddess of the moon's statue towards Lorraine. Lorraine was kneeling in front of the statue, and a ray of green light shot out from the green gemstone on the tip of her scepter.
This ray of green light shot towards the sky of the main hall and exploded.
Abel had already sensed this change, but he did not do anything. On one hand, his intuition told him that there was no danger. On the other hand, the elves around him did not look nervous at all. Instead, they looked happy.
He sensed that this ray of green light was wrapped in the holy power that was sent out from the goddess of the moon's statue.
This ray of holy power was almost the same as the holy power crystal that the legendary Holy Knight used. If this ray of holy power was turned into an attack, then no one in the main hall could block it, not even Abel.
However, he soon realized that he was overthinking. The ray of green light turned into a seed in mid-air, and it began to grow rapidly.
Below it were the roots, and above it were the branches and leaves. In just a few minutes, a giant tree made of pure energy appeared in the sky.
At this point, the elves began to chant even louder. Their faces were filled with fanaticism.
The tree in the sky began to sway without any wind. As the branches swayed, leaves made of energy began to fall.
As if it had been precisely calculated, the number of leaves was exactly the same as the number of elves in the main hall. Every leaf fell on the forehead of every elf.
An energy leaf also fell on Abel's head. This leaf had a trace of life force. When it fell on his head, it turned into a ray of life force and entered his body.
He was very familiar with his own body, so he quickly discovered the effect of this leaf. One year of life force, which meant that every elf in the main hall had their lifespan increased by one year.
"Big deal, this is the big deal of a god!" Abel was surprised.
There were hundreds of elves here, and every elf had gained one year of life force. This ability was a real miracle.
Of course, for ordinary elves, this energy leaf did not only bring them one year of life force, but also the disappearance of their diseases.
What he didn't know was that it wasn't every God's Birthday that a blessing would appear every time. He was just lucky this time.
Just as he was sighing, the energy tree in the sky also fell from the sky. Its target was his head.
Abel sensed that it was not a tree. It was the purest force of nature transformed from divine power.
It was just that this kind of divine grace would probably scare ordinary elves to death. A huge tree fell from the sky, with its roots, trunk, and branches. It fell just like that.
This did not feel like divine grace. It felt like it was smashing someone.
The energy tree fell on Abel's head. When it came into contact with his head, the energy tree turned into energy and entered his body.
After this energy entered his body, it immediately rushed towards the Druil soul. The massive force of nature entered the Druil soul.
This force of nature was extremely pure, and it was accepted by the Druil soul without any effect. It quickly turned into the colorless energy of the Druil soul.
The Druil soul was originally rank 21, but it was forced to the limit of rank 21 Druil.
The barrier between a rank 21 Druil and a rank 22 Druil was supposed to be extremely strong, but under the divine grace of the Goddess of the Moon, it was almost broken in an instant.
A leveling up qi began to emit from his body. He did not need to absorb any natural force from the outside world. The pure natural force that entered his body made the leveling up process very smooth.
Under the shocked gaze of all the elves in the main hall, Abel's energy went from rank 21 to rank 22.
During this process, all of the elves were somewhat confused.
The ordinary elves did not understand why so many elves only received a little bit of divine grace, but Master Bennett alone received most of it.
It was easy to see why the ordinary elves knew. There were only a few leaves on an energy tree. Other than the leaves, the entire tree was given to Master Bennett.
The big Druil, on the other hand, had different thoughts. This Master Bennett couldn't even sing a hymn. How could he receive a direct leveling up from the Goddess of the Moon?
Could it be because of his relationship with Lorraine, the Sainte? Or was it because of something else?
This was a leveling up from rank 21 to rank 22. They all remembered that Master Bennett had just become a big Druil. How long had it been since the Goddess of the Moon leveled him up to rank 22?
Most of the big Druil were only rank 21 Druil, and many of them had been at rank 21 for thousands of years.
This was what made the big druids feel unbalanced. One side leveled up without any training, while the other side trained for thousands of years and was still at level 21.
Abel could feel his Druil soul leveling up. He had officially leveled up from a rank 21 Druil Dragon to a rank 22 Druil Dragon. Of course, at the same time, his priest level also leveled up.
His Druil soul had two sides, one positive and one negative. The natural force and death qi could be interchanged in the Druil soul at any time. This meant that as long as he leveled up the Druil, he leveled up his priest.
