Big Capitalist

Just as Merlin was immersed in this luxurious scenery, his eyes inadvertently swept to the statue of the Moon God, and saw a figure kneeling there quietly praying.

The figure was graceful and elegant, with silver hair that fell to the waist like a waterfall, and the hair sparkled with silver light in the dim light.

She was wearing an extremely gorgeous golden robe, which was embroidered with delicate gold thread patterns, and each pattern seemed to contain mysterious power.

At the neckline, a huge sapphire pendant shines brightly, like the brightest star in the night sky.

Her face was as white as snow, and her facial features were as delicate as a work of art carefully carved by God. Her eyes were deep and cold, blending in with the surrounding environment, giving her an ascetic style.

Merlin quietly approached Elsa, his eyes showing a bit of curiosity and caution. He leaned slightly to the side and asked in a low voice: "Could this be..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were always fixed on the figure exuding a noble aura not far away.

Elsa glanced at Merlin, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said in a familiar teasing tone: "Hey! Jessica, long time no see, tsk tsk, it's different after becoming Pope."

Her voice sounded particularly abrupt in this solemn and dignified Moon Temple, breaking the momentary silence.

When Jessica Isabella heard Elsa's words, she stood up slowly and gracefully, her movements like the slowly unfolding of petals, light and dignified.

She turned slowly, her eyes sharp and looking at Elsa and Merlin with a bit of scrutiny.

Her smooth silver hair swayed gently, and in the dim light, it looked like a flowing Milky Way.

"Don't speak so loudly in the temple. Be aware of your identity." Jessica opened her red lips slightly, her voice was cold and noble, like a clear spring in the mountains, but it also revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"Also, I'm not the Pope of the Moon Temple yet, so don't talk nonsense." She raised her chin slightly, revealing her innate noble temperament, making people dare not look directly at her.

Then, Jessica's gaze shifted to Merlin, with a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She had long heard of a human being who could perform moon magic, and her heart was filled with curiosity and confusion. But when she saw him today, she did not expect that this human being was so good-looking and handsome.

Merlin has a tall and straight figure, a face as white as jade, and deep and bright eyes, as if hiding endless wisdom and mystery. His facial features combine to outline a kind of almost perfect handsomeness.

Jessica thought to herself that if Merlin's ears were not pointed, she would have suspected that Merlin was an elf with the noble blood of the Moon God.

However, as a staunch supporter of the theory of bloodline, Jessica does not actually have much affection for humans in her heart.

I thought I would feel disgusted when I saw this human High Priest of the Moon, but under the impact of Merlin's outstanding appearance, this disgust disappeared without a trace in an instant, and I even felt in my heart that he was indeed qualified to be the High Priest of the Moon.

Despite this, Jessica still maintained her cool and noble appearance, looked directly into Merlin's eyes, and slowly said: "You are Merlin? Leo Merlin, the new high priest of our Moon Temple."

Merlin nodded slightly when he saw this, and performed a standard human noble salute with an elegant posture, and said respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty. I have long heard of your name, and it is an honor to meet you today."

His voice was calm and polite, revealing his humility.

Jessica frowned slightly when she saw Merlin's salute, and her tone was a bit corrective: "Merlin, as the High Priest of the Moon in the Moon Temple, your status was equal to mine before I became Pope. And don't salute with human noble etiquette in the future. As the High Priest of the Moon, you must use the elven etiquette. This is our tradition and you must never forget it."

As she spoke, she walked lightly in front of Merlin, bent down slightly, stretched out her slender and white hands, and began to carefully adjust the robe of the Moon High Priest that Merlin was wearing.

"Look, the wrinkles here shouldn't be so obvious, and the accessories on the neckline should be slightly shifted to the left to match the emblem of the Moon Goddess..."

Jessica was sorting things out while muttering softly, her eyes focused and serious, like a strict mentor teaching a junior, "Tomorrow is the day of the Pope's coronation. You must pay attention to these details. Although you are a human, I hope you can follow the ancient traditions of the elves and don't lose the solemnity of the Moon Temple."

Merlin stood there, quietly feeling Jessica's actions. He felt that the Queen in front of him was really strong. She didn't give him any chance to speak. He could only listen silently, nodded, and took these instructions to heart.

Elsa watched this scene from the side and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Merlin, don't mind it. This guy has always been like this. You'll get used to it."

Merlin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and said softly: "I don't mind at all, Your Majesty also has good intentions."

Hearing this, Jessica turned her gaze to Elsa, her tone still serious: "You should also pay attention to your identity. As the High Priest of the Moon, you should be more solemn and don't always be so casual."

Elsa curled her lips, waved her hand, and said nonchalantly: "I know, I know."

This look made Jessica couldn't help but sigh, feeling helpless and a bit disappointed in her.

Then, Jessica's expression eased a little, and she said to Merlin and Elsa, "The banquet to entertain the guests is ready. Come with me now."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked out of the hall with light lotus steps.

Jessica had automatically classified Merlin into the elf "camp". At this moment, she walked in the front, followed by Merlin and Elsa. The figures of the three gradually disappeared in the corridor of the Moon Temple and headed towards the lively banquet venue.

The robe of the Moon High Priest carries the solemnity and majesty of the Moon Temple, so it naturally cannot be worn casually.

As they walked through the corridor, the priests and nuns who had been waiting there walked forward gently and skillfully, and put away their robes respectfully.

These clergymen were dressed in plain robes embroidered with fine silver patterns that gleamed in the dim light. They took the robes with both hands, carefully smoothed out the wrinkles as if they were protecting the most precious treasure in the world, and then placed them properly.

Jessica took Merlin and Elsa and steadily left the Moon Temple. Under the moonlight, the three of them seemed to be walking in a dream.

Soon, they arrived near Moon Lake.
