Chapter 713: Chapter 287: The Gathering of the Five Chosen Ones_2

Dreyne’s eyes lit up as he circled Wayne, his restless hands rubbing together, "I didn’t realize you were so talented. Tsk, tsk, you’re not bad-looking either; no wonder you have Saina head over heels for you."

As card-playing buddies, there was hardly a topic they didn’t touch upon. Dreyne was well aware of the gossip surrounding Wayne: his fiancée Veronica, his Giant Dragon mount Saina, and the bloodline relationship of Dragon Blood between the two.

Dreyne wasn’t a gossipmonger; she preferred playing cards, but every time the topic came up, she couldn’t resist the urge to ’grab some melon seeds and munch’.

"Don’t be curious about that; it’s quite depressing, alright."

"You little pervert, you’re clearly enjoying yourself."

I’m not little!

A decent relationship between card players crosses a line with certain remarks, so Wayne thought better than to voice his opinion; with a stern face, he said, "I won’t hide it from you, I was once a person of the Moonlight Church, where a Mage of the Moonlight Church planted a Magic Seed in me."

"What, that’s a thing?"

Dreyne, eager for gossip, suddenly finds the Church she belongs to involved and immediately inquires about what happened.

Wayne narrated the intricately complex storyline: "Back then, I was just an ordinary person, and that mage named Kris, was an adopted daughter of the District Priest of Lundan..."

"I saved the High Priest Philomena, and to show her gratitude, she taught me the Elven Divine Arts..."

"So, I have a deep connection with the Moonlight Church. Kris and Philomena often lament that if it weren’t for the Naturalism Church snatching me away, I might have become the next Moonlight Knight."

"Outrageous, stepping over to our Moonlight Church to snatch people away, who did it, does she no longer wish to live!" Furious, Dreyne immediately expressed a desire to drag the thief out and shoot them dead.

"My teacher Hefei, Veronica’s mother and my mother as well, raised me like her own son."

Wayne solemnly said, "We’re friends, so please be more respectful when you speak of my mother."

"Your mother isn’t my mother, and she snatched away my successor; why can’t I criticize her?"

Dreyne spoke out bitterly, voicing her frustration, "Next time, let her come and play cards, no, right now, I’ll make her lose so badly she has to strip right there on the spot!"

That will be difficult; she’s too lucky, casually playing could make you run around naked.

Wayne mumbled internally and consoled Dreyne not to get angry, reminding her that women who get angry age quickly, get lots of wrinkles, and are prone to hair loss, which will soon make them less beautiful.

The effect was mediocre; Dreyne didn’t care about these things at all.

She said discontentedly, "What’s the use of saying this now when you are already a Naturalist Knight? Even if I gave you White Night Purity Words, you wouldn’t be recognized by the Goddess. What were Kris and Philomena thinking, why didn’t they protect you properly..."

Mid-sentence, Dreyne appeared puzzled: "As the High Priest sent from the Church headquarters to Lundan, Philomena’s loyalty is beyond doubt. Even if you saved her, she shouldn’t have taught you divine arts based on faith. What is she trying to do, pull you back to the Moonlight Church?"

"Yeah, she really tried, and so did Kris; please don’t blame them."

"How hard did they try?"

With a peculiar expression on her face, Dreyne said, "There are no strangers here; tell me the truth, what did they do for the Church?"

Wayne didn’t speak, just looked steadily at Dreyne, leaving everything unsaid.

"Despicable!"

Dreyne first denounced Wayne’s shameless behavior and then praised Kris and Philomena to the skies, acknowledging them as the most devout followers of the Goddess.

"It’s just a pity we were a step too late. If only I had met you before Mula did," Dreyne regretted profoundly. She had a good impression of Wayne; he was good at cards and brought joy to her life.

"Give it a try, who knows, it might work!"

"How could it possibly..."

Dreyne waved her hands repeatedly, adamantly nonbelieving, and to dissuade Wayne from his incredulity, she decided to take action to make him give up: "How about this, I will gradually release the constraints on White Night Purity Words. If it becomes too painful, just say so immediately. Don’t try to be brave, or else I won’t know how to explain it to Mula."

"Don’t worry, I won’t mess around."

"That’s the best."

Dreyne, worried that Wayne’s bravado might make her an enemy of Mula, held White Night Purity Words in one hand and pressed the other on Wayne’s shoulder, slowly releasing the constraints on it.

Wayne closed his eyes, feeling the incoming radiant water moonlight. Given his magic talent, his imitation of the unspeakable nature of the Ancient Gods, and his wisdom and aptitude, mere White Night Purity Words...

The Book of Greed, move!

In an instant, the Magic Power within Wayne transformed into silvery-white, fully accepting the power infused by White Night Purity Words.

The changes on his body were noticed by Dreyne, who, eyes wide with shock, muttered in disbelief, "impossible, inconceivable," as her refined and elegant demeanor abruptly shifted to adorable.

"Wayne, how do you feel?"

"I don’t feel anything."

"How can you not feel anything?"

Dreyne was skeptical, gripping White Night Purity Words, verifying its authenticity, and released all constraints bit by bit until the very end, yet she never heard a cry of pain from Wayne.

Truly incredible!

White Night Purity Words was under Dreyne’s control, and her priority was higher than Wayne’s. Without her dispelling her transformation, Wayne could not don the Moonlight Armor, no matter what.

Therefore, even though the cover of The Book of Greed shone with the light representing the moon, outshining the sun and rivalling the darkness, even striving to surpass Death and Nature ahead, and even though Wayne was engulfed in silvery-white Magic Power, he still could not transform on the spot.

Dreyne dared not dispel her transformation, burdened with the heavy responsibility of maintaining the seal. She couldn’t give Wayne a chance to prove himself. However, the reality was in front of her eyes, whether she accepted it or not, Wayne had the authority to transform into the Moonlight Knight.
