Chapter 129: Secrets of the Tear of the Moon Goddess

To be honest, Miss Vilyric is having a hard time making a judgment right now.

Since Iwen’s understanding of the “Core of the Flame Lord” fused with the prototype is also very limited—having only seen a few descriptions in the experimental logs left by 【Father】—it seems quite difficult to draw any further conclusions by asking her.

For now, the main focus should be on the 【Tear of the Moon Goddess】 used to suppress it.

“Can I take a look at this thing?”

Iwen’s emphasis on this obviously valuable gem doesn’t seem as strong as Miss Vilyric imagined; she just tentatively made the request, and Iwen nodded, approaching the Priestess to hand it to Vilyric.

“Just don’t break it; we still need it to suppress the high temperatures emitted by 【Sister】, or else the spirit spring outside will turn into magma in no time.”

“Ahaha…”

Regarding this obvious attempt to lighten the mood, but slightly hardcore joke, Vilyric could only manage an awkward but polite smile as she raised her hand to receive the 【Tear of the Moon Goddess】.

Then, she activated 【Information Detection】.

This time the skill didn’t disappoint the Priestess; it immediately revealed a wealth of information.

【Tear of the Moon Goddess】

【Special Item】

【Grade: Sacred Artifact】

【Description: The Moon Goddess xx is renowned for her beauty and nobility, with countless admirers and followers. However, the Moon Goddess is pure and rarely offers kind words to most suitors; only a select few with outstanding appearance, character, and strength can earn her favor.

The Moon Goddess governs the night and resides above the Silver Moon. Every year, she selects at most two favored individuals, bringing them back to her lunar palace as confidants, sharing intimate moments to alleviate her loneliness.

However, due to her divine duties, the Moon Goddess is destined for eternal solitude. No matter how much she admires and likes someone, she can never keep any individual by her side for more than one lunar cycle.

At parting, if there’s a profoundly close friend, the Moon Goddess xx cannot help but shed tears, with the purest and most serene power in the world, the Tears of the Moon Goddess, falling down and transforming into precious gems, which she gifts as a token of remembrance, known as the Tears of the Moon Goddess.

The Tears of the Moon Goddess are extremely rare, with very few existing. This particular Tear of the Moon Goddess was born 3,172 years ago and was gifted by the Moon Goddess xx to her close friend, the Demon God xxxx, as a farewell memento.

After parting from the Moon Goddess, the Demon God xxxx carefully preserved this item, never parting with it, but after the cataclysm of the gods, the Demon God fell in a fierce battle, and his treasured item was damaged or lost in a rift of another dimension during the struggle, including this one.

Later, the Tear of the Moon Goddess drifted in the otherworld for hundreds of years, until it was carried back to this world during a large-scale spatial disturbance over three hundred years ago, obtained by the half-demon 【Make way, I’m about to show off】.

Upon learning of its origins through the universal magic 【Information Detection】, 【Make way, I’m about to show off】 took it with him, and after various incidents, ultimately loaned it to a friend, 【Hao Miao Yi Meng】, to suppress a special magical automaton he created but had lost control over.

Decades later, the underground laboratory housing the Tear of the Moon Goddess was discovered by Iwen of the Puppeteer Clan, but she did not take it with her. Instead, she led others to construct facilities to cover up the traces until now.】

“Poof~”

Cough-cough, don’t get me wrong; it’s not that 【Information Detection】 has malfunctioned again, it’s just that…

Although I wanted to maintain decorum, seeing the analyzed username of 【Make way, I’m about to show off】, especially when this name was probably deemed his true name in this world, Vilyric couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Thank goodness, she didn’t give “Vilyric” some weird name back then, or else if someone found out like now, it would truly be a social death moment to Mars, hahahahahaha.

“Cough, um, it’s fine, don’t be nervous. I just thought of something amusing.”

Quickly handling the curious and concerned glances of her companions due to her strange behavior, the Priestess cleared her throat and returned her thoughts to the main track.

In summary, at least now it’s basically confirmed that the 【Father】 of the Puppeteer Clan is a traveler; after all, Vilyric doesn’t think there are any bizarre parents in this world that would name their kid 【Make way, I’m about to show off】 or 【Hao Miao Yi Meng】—these names aren’t just strange; they’re a bit insane.

Of course, aside from that, she also gathered much valuable information, such as… the Moon Goddess and the Demon God actually having a thing? Unbelievable; it seems these two are both female!

Hmm… but it could just be a very serious friendship.

Moreover, the information provided by 【Information Detection】 also aligned with the myths mentioned by Liliya before she became queen regarding the 【March Legend】, explaining and complementing the Moon Goddess’s behavior from another angle.

Indeed, even as a deity, even the Moon Goddess Luna, said to be the chief deity, has many unavoidable circumstances; she’s not as omniscient and omnipotent as mortals imagine.

Of course, this further deepened the Priestess’ impression of the Moon Goddess being quite frivolous and emotional.

There were also some clues hidden in the information, or extensions that couldn’t be completely untangled at the moment. Vilyric decided to reflect on them later when she had time.

To know all this, this trip to the Puppeteer Clan can be said to be completely worthwhile.

The only pity is, she couldn’t explore the current state of the Moon Goddess Luna; she has no idea if she’s alive or dead, or where she has gone.

After all, although this Tear of the Moon Goddess is related to Moon Goddess Luna, it is essentially a personal item of the Demon God Olivya. No matter how formidable 【Information Detection】 is, it can only read the information left within the item, not conjure anything out of nothing.

Thinking this, Vilyric smiled and nodded, returning the 【Tear of the Moon Goddess】 to Iwen, who was under the protection of the magic shield.

“Thank you; this truly is a remarkable item.”

“It’s nothing. So, did Miss Vilyric find anything? Is Princess Noviya’s physical change truly because of…?”

“Well, it should indeed have something to do with this Tear of the Moon Goddess, but placing all the blame on the Puppeteer Clan would be overstating things. I believe the aura of this treasure, the miracle of the March Convergence, and Noviya herself must have a significant influence as well. Moreover, this is very likely a positive change; to delve deeper, we’ll have to wait until we reach the Moonshadow Clan and meet a certain someone to figure it out.”

The Chief seemed to sigh in relief.

“I see… that’s good. If something happened to the Moonshadow Clan’s royal heir on our watch, Chief Vanessa would come over to hold us accountable, and the Puppeteer Clan wouldn’t be able to bear it~”

“Haha, Chief Iwen is joking; although the Puppeteer Clan is small, its status in the Mountains of Ten Thousand Demons is not lacking at all. Even considering Iwen’s face, such a situation you mentioned could never arise, especially since the little princess is all right, isn’t she?”

It seems Vilyric’s judgment of “positive change” has eased Aiste’s mind quite a bit, to the point where she could even joke lightly with Iwen.

Of course, what she said is likely the truth.
