Chapter 298 - 119: My New Mother! Lady Moon Priestess

Chapter 298: Chapter 119: My New Mother! Lady Moon Priestess

Lynch continued dictating, his tone growing more earnest and sincere, "Although I am a Necromancer, I know full well that power must be restrained. I despise those evil beings who abuse their power, commune with the Abyss, and bring disaster upon the world! I especially detest the Gnoll king, Yenogu, and his minions. I am their sworn enemy and have fought them in bloody battles many times. I wish I could eat their flesh and sleep on their hides."

"Sea Song" wrote furiously, but she couldn’t help but mock him in her heart.

’Hmph, what a shameless little man. All this painstaking flattery is clearly an attempt to establish a common enemy. Does he really think that will win my approval? In his dreams.’

’I despise slippery characters like him the most.’

’You human boy, you could never imagine that your filthy, mercenary nature has long been laid bare before me.’

Lynch, of course, had no idea what she was muttering about in her head. He continued with full enthusiasm, "Upon learning that Your Excellency might be slumbering here for eternity, my heart surged with emotion, and I could not sleep at night. I have taken the liberty of disturbing you, not with any intention of blasphemy, but out of sincere admiration for your noble character. I yearn to befriend a sage such as yourself, reaching across the annals of time. If I could but hear your teachings, even a few words in response, it would be the fortune of three lifetimes for me, Lynch!"

This letter was full of earnest words, blatant flattery that could shake the heavens, and established a common enemy with crystal clarity.

Lynch was quite pleased with his own performance.

By now, the wooden board in "Sea Song’s" hands was densely covered with elegant High Elf script.

She finished the final stroke.

Lynch nodded in satisfaction and took out a second, blank wooden board. "Leave this one empty. It’s for the reply."

Then, he snapped his fingers.

Bone Valor immediately walked forward with a CLATTER CLATTER and took the two wooden boards.

Afterward.

The Teleportation Gate opened.

Holding the two wooden boards, Bone Valor stepped into the Space Mirror Surface.

The mirror’s surface rippled, swiftly swallowing him.

One second, two seconds...

"CRACK~"

Lynch felt Bone Valor turn into a pile of bone fragments as the mental link between them abruptly severed.

Immediately after.

A wooden board flew out of the Space Mirror Surface, landing on the ground with a CLATTER.

It was the board meant for the reply.

Except now, on the board’s blank surface, there was a single, flamboyantly written High Elf character.

The strokes were sharp, as if filled with fury.

The scene fell silent.

Lynch looked at "Sea Song" and said, "Translate."

"Sea Song" glanced at the board and stated succinctly:

"Scram."

Avril couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Aus, however, frowned and said in a low voice, "My lord, this Moon Priestess... doesn’t seem very easy to get along with. Judging by her reaction, her temperament seems... quite different from the gentle personality described in the historical records?"

Lynch, however, was not dismayed. On the contrary, he was quite pleased.

"This is a good thing!" Lynch said, energized. "Even though she only replied with one word, the signal is extremely clear."

"First, it proves that there is indeed a conscious, powerful being with its own will on the other side, who is very likely Song of Elune herself! Second, it proves that she can be communicated with! Even if her attitude is poor right now, as long as there’s a response, there’s a possibility for further communication."

Aus said thoughtfully, "You’re right, my lord. A reaction is better than no response at all. But... with an attitude like that, how should we proceed with communication?"

"If her attitude is bad, then we’ll find a way to make it better!" Lynch was full of fighting spirit. He carefully put away the wooden board with "Scram" written on it, as if it were some precious treasure.

Then, he took out a new blank wooden board and a charcoal pencil, handing them once again to "Sea Song."

"Come on, Sea Song, let’s write another one!"

"Sea Song" took the board and charcoal pencil, but she sneered inwardly.

’I’ve already made up my mind. No matter what flowery nonsense Lynch comes up with this time, my other self in the ruins will absolutely not respond to him again.’

’Let this human boy waste his effort.’

Lynch, meanwhile, stroked his chin, pondering for a moment. Then, his tone shifted to one of faint melancholy as he spoke.

"I, Lynch Blackwood, have had a bitter and ill-fated life since childhood. I lost my mother at two and my father at eight. Since then, I have been all alone, drifting through the world, and have tasted all of life’s hardships..."

"Sea Song’s" hand didn’t stop writing, but she was inwardly stunned.

’This kid... is he starting to play the pity card? Is he going to fabricate a tragic past to win my sympathy?’

’Heh, what a vulgar tactic. The shameless thief.’

’I’d like to see what other nonsense he can spin.’

Lynch clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, continuing to build the mood. "Since I was a child, I grew up hearing the legends of the Moon Priestess. You lived a noble life, dedicating everything to protect your people. You never even bore children, choosing instead to spread your great love to all living beings... Every time I think of this, I am filled with admiration, yet my heart also aches with a sense of loneliness for you, Your Excellency..."

Upon hearing this, "Sea Song’s" writing hand paused slightly, and a faint sense of foreboding crept into her heart.

Sure enough.

In the next instant, she heard Lynch say something that made her scalp tingle.

"As the saying goes, ’We are both lost souls at the end of the world; since we’ve met, what does it matter if we were strangers?’"

"I, Lynch, have been without a mother since I was young, and you have been without a child your entire life. This must be the will of heaven, a work of fate. If Your Excellency would not be opposed, I, Lynch, with a heart full of sincerity, wish to acknowledge you as my mother."

"From this day forward, I, Lynch, will surely abide by the duties of a filial son and serve you with all my heart, without a shred of disloyalty. Mother, high above, please accept this child’s bow!"

After speaking, Lynch seemed to still be immersed in his emotions, and he bowed deeply in the direction of the Teleportation Gate.

The scene was deathly silent.

Aus’s mouth hung open, his recording tablet nearly slipping from his grasp and falling to the ground.

Avril’s beautiful eyes were wide and round, blinking rapidly as if she had fallen into a dazed stupor.

Ginko Wrench’s hand trembled so violently he almost snapped the Energy Conduit.

Even Esther and the few ghosts floating in the air seemed to have frozen solid.

And as for "Sea Song"...

The hand she held the charcoal pencil with trembled violently.

"SNAP~!"

She had actually snapped the charcoal pencil in two.

She herself was like one struck by lightning, standing frozen on the spot.

Her mind went blank, as if tens of thousands of moonfires had exploded in her soul, burning away all her reason and leaving her spirit in a daze.

’Acknowledge... acknowledge me as his mother?!’

’This, this, this...’

’What in the world is this guy?!’

’Is this something a human being could even think of?!’

...
