After Ange finished speaking, Luna, the little girl next to Arthur, looked up at him with hopeful eyes.
Arthur stepped forward and quickly made his statement:
"Okay, what should I do?"
Upon receiving Arthur's reply, Ange, a follower of the Moon, showed a joyful expression:
"Please come to my side, Sir Knight. Princess Luna, please come with me as well."
So Arthur and the little girl Luna went to the bedside together.
Upon approaching Louise, the little girl Luna clasped her hands together in prayer.
The young face of this beauty revealed a devout and innocent expression:
"Praise be to my Lord, pure and immaculate moon, and Elune, goddess of purity, who bless me with the grace of the twin moons."
Soon, crescent-shaped marks radiating a holy aura reappeared on both sides of her eyes.
Drawn by this, Arthur's "Blessing of the Moon" manifested a similarly holy crescent moon mark on the back of his left hand.
The little girl Luna tilted her head back, looked at the back of Arthur's left hand, and pleaded with him in a soft voice:
"Brother, please lend me your power."
To take care of Luna, the tall and handsome Arthur first knelt on the ground in a very gentlemanly manner.
Then, he extended his left hand, which bore the mark of a full moon, to the little girl.
The little girl Luna also raised her hands at the right moment and grasped Arthur's left hand.
When the two come into contact, the "Blessing" power within them begins to resonate.
The Lv.2 "Grace of the Bright Moon" and the Lv.4 "Grace of the Twin Moons" resonated with each other, creating a miracle that even Ange, a believer of the Bright Moon present, could not comprehend.
Two similar holy lights began to emanate from Arthur and the little girl Luna.
The next moment, the two similar holy lights merged and sublimated into a nearly solidified, incomparably pure holy liquid, which floated in mid-air.
Followed by.
The little girl Luna let go of Arthur's hand.
She cupped her hands and caught the almost solidified holy liquid.
Then, she leaned close to Louise, the unconscious believer of the Moon, lying on the bed, and used her hand as a cup to pour the almost solidified holy liquid into her mouth.
Louise, who had been infused with the holy elixir, quickly recovered her pale and unsightly complexion, which regained its rosy hue.
A short while later.
She opened her eyes and woke up.
"Sister Louise, are you alright?"
The little girl Luna came up to her and asked her affectionately how she was doing.
"Sister, has the damage from revealing your real name stopped?"
Anjie, a follower of the Moon Goddess, was concerned about the effects of the holy elixir she had just received.
"My injuries seem to have not only stopped, but my broken energy channels have also healed."
Louise lay in bed, closed her eyes, and carefully assessed her physical condition before exclaiming in surprise:
"Ange, Princess Luna, what have you done?"
"It was the knight brother who helped me."
The little girl Luna walked away from Louise, allowing her to see Arthur kneeling behind her.
"A knight who possesses the 'grace' of our Lord?"
Louise, a follower of the Moon, quickly recognized Arthur after waking up.
Arthur showed her the crescent moon mark on the back of his left hand, a manifestation of "the grace of the moon".
Louise carefully felt the familiar, sacred aura emanating from Arthur's full moon mark.
A question arose in her mind:
Hmm! Why is there such a significant difference in the level of "favor" this knight has compared to when we first met?
Chapter 75 Louise's Proposal
"Lady Louise, the Priestess of the Moon, is there a problem with my 'Blessing'?"
Arthur understood Louise's puzzled expression, but he remained unmoved.
Louise, a follower of the Moon, stared intently at Arthur for a while.
Based on her knowledge as a priestess, she made a judgment:
In just a quarter of an hour, the level of "Blessing" he was blessed with went from Lv.1 to Lv.2.
Incredible.
Louise, a follower of the Moon, shook her head, dismissing this unheard-of conclusion.
She preferred to admit that her previous extraordinary perception had been flawed, and that she had misjudged the level of "Blessing" that Arthur possessed.
But this undoubtedly trampled on her strength and dignity as a third-level priest within the sect:
Could I have possibly mistaken Lv.1 and Lv.2 levels of "Blessing"?
It should be noted that this takes place within the Church of the Bright Moon.
With each increase in the level of "blessing" bestowed by the Holy Son and Daughter, one's status and potential will undergo a leap forward.
In the eyes of a priest of Louise's caliber in the Church of the Moon.
If Arthur is still a Level 1 "Blessed" user as he was when we first met.
Therefore, he is just a Holy Son of the general protection level.
In the future, her status in the church will be similar to that of a third-realm priest like herself, or perhaps even slightly lower.
But things change after "Grace" is promoted to Lv.2.
These kinds of holy sons are the "strategic resources" that the church will focus on cultivating.
Their presence and movements would be monitored and managed by her superiors, the bishops of the fourth realm within the church.
She then realized that she could no longer treat Arthur as an ordinary knight passing through the border.
Think about this.
She frowned and began to inquire about Arthur's origins:
"Sir Knight, why did you suddenly intrude into this border line while we were fighting with the traitor Wood?"
Arthur first explained his identity as the Lord of Blackrock.
Then he explained why he had to use this side path.
"To establish a coal fuel supply route to Cedar Valley?"
Louise, a follower of the Moon, seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this:
"Then the side trade route that I, Crescent Moon, lead the border for defense is indeed the safest."
It seems you stumbled upon our conflict with Wood by accident.
She looked relieved, but didn't end the conversation, continuing to press for answers:
"Lord Arthur, Lord of Blackrock, what connection does your family have with my religion?"
Louise refers to Arthur's Lv.2 "Blessing of the Moon".
In her mind, Blackrock Territory was a remote and desolate place.
She had not heard of any church branch being located there.
Arthur replied:
“My father was Richard Grey, the eighth prince of the Grey royal family, but he was exiled, stripped of his Grey royal name, and changed to Field.”
"Richard Gray, the heir the king had high hopes for in the last power struggle?"
Louise, a follower of the Moon, frowned and looked at Arthur:
"I've heard a little about him; he's a fighting maniac who disdains cooperating with any church."
He rose to the rank of Gold Knight in his youth, surpassing the other princes in both strength and realm.
But in the end, he was banished from the stage of kingdom power and disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, it was Lord Arthur's father.
"Yes."
A bitter smile curved Arthur's lips.
He was not surprised that Louise, a priestess of the third realm of the Church of the Moon, knew about his father's past.
"Then it's even stranger that you possess the 'grace' of our Lord."
Louise, a follower of the Moon, shook her head, looking puzzled.
"Your family background has no connection to our religion, and there are no miracles of our religion within your territory. Why then do you receive our Lord's 'favor'?"
She was puzzled.
Seeing this, Arthur thought to himself:
Fortunately, Lancelot was brought along on this trip. If she had met Gawain, who possessed Lv.4 "Blessing of the Sun," she would have been even more confused.
"I understand your situation."
Louise, a follower of the Moon, temporarily set aside her confusion about the source of Arthur's "blessing".
Then, she looked at Arthur with a meaningful gaze:
"Has Lord Arthur ever considered joining the Church of the Moon?"
After this issue was raised.
Ange, another follower of the Moon, and Luna, the Moon Saintess, both turned their gazes toward the handsome blond youth.
With the three women paying attention to him, Arthur answered seriously:
I'm very sorry.
I have the utmost respect for the deity worshipped by the Church of the Moon, but I am unable to develop a devout faith in her.
Therefore, I personally have no intention of joining the Moon Cult.
His sincere attitude and answer moved Louise, a believer in the Moon.
“I understand and respect His Excellency Arthur’s views.”
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before continuing his sentence:
"But I think Lord Arthur should also be aware that there is no unified church within the Kingdom of Grey."
Therefore, the various church forces will check and balance each other in all aspects.
From minor issues like the ownership of missionary churches in territories to frictions in the development of believers.
As for your interference in the power struggle for the throne, I think you, as the son of the eighth prince, should know more or less about the inside story.
I cannot say more.
Louise, a follower of the Moon, paused, and seeing that Arthur's expression did not change because she mentioned it, she continued:
“You possess the ‘blessing’ of my Lord, and at a high level.”
If you use this power in the future, you may encounter traitors like Wood who have turned to "Shadow".
With your current strength, you are probably incapable of handling this kind of danger.
Louise, a follower of the Moon, is considering Arthur's situation.
She cares so much about Arthur not only because of his Lv.2 "Blessing of the Moon".
More importantly, during the short time they spent together.
