Cyber gazed at the beautiful elf before him, his heart full of surprise.
He had expected that the "Lord Aurora" ntioned by Gando would have undergone so transformation like himself, but he hadn’t anticipated that she would be even more stunning than Saintess Alice.
Perhaps... only that fellow Serenadil could be on par with this Lord Aurora?
Cyber couldn’t help but think.
As he stared sowhat blankly at the female elf, she smiled gently once more:
"Lord Cyber, I sense a familiar aura on you..."
"Are you an envoy of Oros, or an angel envoy of Diana?"
Hearing Aurora’s question, Cyber’s heart stirred.
He hadn’t heard of soone nad Diana.
However, the na of Demigod Oros was well-known among players.
It was said that the story on the Oros Half-plane had moved countless people back then.
And to be able to naturally and equally say the na Oros, the identity of this "Lord Aurora" was surely not inferior to that of a half-elf demigod...
With this thought, Cyber felt invigorated.
In the ga’s lore, it was said that a thousand years ago, the Goddess had eight demigod-level divine envoys, and besides the half-elf Oros, each of the seven elf clans had a demigod.
Could it be... she was one of the eight demigod envoys, the Elf Demigod of the Frost Tribe?
Cyber boldly speculated.
Thinking of this, his mood gradually lifted.
If that were true, gaining the recognition and support of this Lord Aurora would certainly make the entire mission much smoother!
Cyber composed himself, skillfully drawing the symbol of the Life Scepter on his chest, and said loudly:
"Lord Aurora, I am neither an envoy of Lord Oros nor an envoy of Diana."
"I am the Chosen One and Divine Favored of the Goddess!"
"I have co here to fulfill the Goddess’s oracle, to guide everyone ho."
Cyber’s tone was sincere and earnest.
His resonant voice echoed through the spacious temple.
However, though she heard his words, Lord Aurora’s expression showed neither the excitent nor reverence he had imagined.
On the contrary, Cyber noticed that her smile cooled almost instantly.
"Lord Cyber."
Aurora suddenly spoke softly.
Her voice remained gentle and frail, yet carried a sense of resolve and detachnt:
"To whom the Frost Elves pledge loyalty, there has only ever been one, and the goal we’ve steadfastly guarded in the Abyss for millennia has only ever been one..."
"The True God of the Elf Clan is none other than the great World Tree Yggdrasil."
"If any deity believes they can gain the faith of us Frost Elves by claiming the position of Life and Nature, they will surely be disappointed."
"No one can replace the position of the Mother Goddess in our hearts!"
With that, she gazed at Cyber with a hint of disappointnt:
"I had thought you were the envoy of two old friends, but it seems... I was too expectant."
"Without faith, how could you possibly be their envoy..."
"You may leave."
After speaking, she waved her hand gently.
Cyber felt an irresistible force lift his body, and before he could react, he was propelled out of the chamber.
"Wait a mont! Lord Aurora! The Goddess is indeed the Mother Goddess!"
He hurriedly exclaid.
However, the chamber doors had already closed.
Cyber opened his mouth, suddenly feeling a bit dumbfounded.
The way things were unfolding...
Was not as he had imagined...
At this mont, the chamber doors slowly opened again, and the figure of the Old Elf Gando appeared in Cyber’s sight.
Cyber perked up, got up from the ground, and explained:
"Mr. Gando! What I said is true! No... I didn’t explain clearly! The Goddess is the World Tree! Her divine na now is Eve Yggdrasil! She has already awakened! It’s the Goddess who sent to guide everyone ho!"
However, to his disappointnt, Gando remained expressionless:
"Lord Cyber, please mind your words. No one can impersonate the great Mother Goddess."
"What I’m saying is the truth! Don’t the Frost Elves have magic to discern lies?! I truly am the Divine Favored of the World Tree!"
"What if you’ve also been deceived, faithless one?"
Gando didn’t even bother addressing him by na anymore.
Instead, he directly used the most scornful term for a believer.
Cyber’s eyes widened in shock.
Why hadn’t he noticed before how stubborn these Frost Elves were?
No, wait, can’t they feel the aura of divine power from the Goddess on ?!
Didn’t soone in the previous beta say that Divine Favored exude the aura of a True God, which NPCs can use to discern a True God’s identity?!
The Demigod Oros recognized the Goddess’s identity through the aura of divine power in the past!
So why doesn’t it work with Aurora?!
What’s going on?
Cyber was bewildered.
anwhile, Gando regarded him coldly:
"Faithless one..."
"I can forgive your offense to the Mother Goddess, but do not bring up this matter again."
"No deity can replace the position of the Mother Goddess, no one."
"We will not expel you, after all... you are also one of our kin, and not a villain."
"Without the protection of Lord Aurora, even if you are blessed by a deity, you cannot survive in this wicked world."
"Yet, I will assign soone to monitor you."
