Clara didn't know what the patriarch saw on the moon. She only knew that the power of the moon god brought back by the patriarch was poisonous, and it was also extremely poisonous.

Every tribesman who comes into contact with the power of the Moon God will be like being poisoned. They will gradually lose their mind, become crazy, unable to communicate, and eventually die.

Originally, the moral level of their tribe was quite high, at least higher than the average level in the United States. However, after being poisoned, their moral level declined rapidly, and they even secretly began to arrest innocent people for bloody sacrifices to the moon god.

Until the end, even the clan leader herself went completely crazy. She turned herself into a cocoon and spread the power of the Moon God to every clan member.

Absorb their spirit and reason, and build a large network to continuously spread the power of the moon god, like some kind of virus, infecting everyone.

Originally there were many people in the tribe who had doubts about the power of the Moon God, but in the end they were all infected and poisoned, and everyone lost their minds and turned directly into a mental hospital.

Clara couldn't just watch the entire clan being destroyed like this. She tried to kill the clan leader but failed. In the end, she could only use the power inherited by the Saint to separate the entire Moon Temple from reality before the power of the Moon God spread out.

Drag it into the shadows to prevent the power of the Moon God from spreading to the outside world.

All Moon God believers were trapped in the Temple of the Moon by Clara. Their bodies and spirits have been contaminated by the power of the Moon God, but their souls are still pure.

So Clara exiled their souls to live outside to avoid being corroded and contaminated by the power of the Moon God.

This is why after Akimiya Yue and others came to Bolt Castle, the believers of the Moon God they met all had enthusiastic and good characters, because Clara had taken away the dark elements in their souls.

Mia and Nina are two of the few people who can remain conscious under the influence of the moon god's power.

But they believe in the words of the clan leader and believe that through the power of the Moon God, the entire clan can gain immortality and become powerful.

To a certain extent, the two of them were crazier than ordinary Moon God believers, so not only were they not grateful for Clara's actions, but they led the believers to surround and suppress Clara in the Moon Temple.

Clara has also been trying to bypass them to destroy the patriarch who has turned into a cocoon, but has been unable to succeed, and the two sides have been in a stalemate.

Clara didn't know how to solve this problem. She could only try her best to trap the Moon Temple and hope for a miracle to happen. Fortunately, as she inherited the inheritance of the Saint, she could live for many years without worrying about the end of her lifespan.

Over the years, the two sides have even reached a tacit agreement to hold a sacrifice to the moon on the 15th of every month to allow the souls outside to return to the Moon Temple.

Mia and Nina used this method to ensure that the souls of believers would not escape the control of the moon god, while Clara hoped that these souls would not leave the body for too long, causing damage.

During this period, many people mistakenly entered the Temple of the Moon. Although this place was stripped of reality by Clara, making it impossible for the people inside to get out, Mia was able to use the power of the Moon God to corrode some tiny holes.

, drag people outside in.

Clara initially hoped that these outsiders could help her break the current deadlock, but later she discovered that almost all of these outsiders had been corrupted into believers of the Moon God, and no one was on her side.

In the end, Clara simply stopped showing up and hid in the Temple of the Moon.

Before the others in Qiugong Yue, the last person to enter the Moon Temple was Ellie.

She did not believe Mia and Nina's brainwashing, because she was an undercover agent sent by the Shadow Religion, trying to find Clara's whereabouts in the Temple of the Moon.

Unfortunately, her identity was discovered by Mia and Nina, and she was quickly arrested.

Clara only had time to send Ellie's soul out, and her body remained in the Temple of the Moon.

Under the protection of the power of death, people in the Moon Temple will not die. In order to force Claira to show up, Mia and Nina have been torturing Ellie and killing her every seven days.

Clara was not fooled, she sealed away Ellie's memories of the torture and let her live in Bolt Castle like everyone else.

But Ellie still remembered her undercover mission, so she kept secretly running to the library to look for clues about the Moon Temple.

It's just that because of the death of the body, her memory will be cleared during this period, and she will go to the library again seven days later and repeat her previous actions.

Qiu Gongyue finally exposed the fact that Mia had a lot of scars on her body, allowing Ellie to finally recall everything she had suffered. It happened to be the fifteenth day of every month. Under strong stimulation, her soul ran directly back to the moon.

In the temple.

Finally, the appearance of Qiu Gongyue allowed Clara to finally see the dawn of a solution to the decades-long tragedy of their tribe, so she showed up again and again to help Qiu Gongyue out of danger.

And this is what Mia expected. On the first night when Qiugongyue came to Bolt Castle, Mia used the power of the moon god to drag Qiugongyue's spirit and soul into the Moon Temple, just to

Lure out Clara who has been hiding and eliminate her completely.

After listening to Clara's story, all the observers had a question in their minds.

Qiu Gongyue even asked directly: "Why do you and Mia think I am the key?"

It was only her first day at Bolt Castle, and Mia actually thought she could lure out Clara, who had been hiding, and Clara was actually lured out because of her.

"Because when Mia saw your face, she knew that you were special, and she knew that I would not miss the opportunity to contact you."

Clara turned around and stared at Qiu Gongyue's face: "Mia's guess is correct. When I see your face, I feel nervous and excited, and I have to contact you even if I risk the risk."

"What's wrong with my face?"

Qiu Gongyue subconsciously touched her face. Since she gave up her identity as a killer, she has never put on a mask for herself and has always acted with her true colors.

Xu Cheng also turned to look at Qiu Gongyue's face. Maybe it's because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He felt that her face was really something I could never get tired of. The more I looked at it, the more beautiful it became. She was not inferior to those other goddesses such as Yin Lisabai and Amaterasu.

.

But no matter how beautiful she is, she’s not worthy of Mia and Clara’s attention, right?

Are these two people just looking for looks?

Narumi Nagumo spoke from the side what was in Xu Cheng's heart: "You are not scheming female ketones, are you?"

"Don't make such a joke to a centenarian like me."

Clara rolled her eyes at Narumi Nagumo, then stopped and said, "The answer is right here."

Only then did everyone realize that she led them through a complex maze-like environment and arrived at a secret room.

With a gentle creaking sound, Clara opened the door and walked in first.

The others followed closely and found that the secret room was empty, with no furniture, only a lifelike oil painting hanging on the wall.

Everyone subconsciously looked up at the oil painting, and then all showed surprised expressions. Nagumo Narumi even blurted out: "Sister Yue, why are there your paintings here?"

The composition of this oil painting is a bit like the Mona Lisa's smile, depicting an extremely beautiful Asian woman who looks exactly like Akimiya Yue.

After Xu Cheng was surprised, he thought it was Mia or Clara who secretly painted it, but when he looked carefully, he discovered that this painting was at least hundreds of years old and was definitely not made recently.

Qiu Gongyue also saw the long history of this painting, couldn't hide the shock in her eyes, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Clara.

"Is the person in this painting me? Or is it someone who looks exactly like me?"

Clara did not answer Qiu Gongyue's question, but walked over and reached out to touch the oil painting: "This painting has been hidden in this place. Ordinary people are not qualified to see it. When I was a child, because it was

After awakening the saint's physique, she was brought here by her teacher. According to the teacher, her teacher, her teacher's teacher, including the heirs of saints throughout the ages, have all seen this painting. This painting has a history of hundreds of years.

, every saint heiress comes to see it, it has become a tradition.”

Qiu Gongyue took a step forward: "This is definitely not me, who is she?"

She was convinced that in her short life of just over twenty years, she had never been to North America before.

"have no idea."

"What do you mean, you don't know?"

"Yes."

Clara slowly turned around and said to Qiu Gongyue: "No one knows who the person on this painting is. Some say she is the first saint, and some say she disappeared with the shadow goddess.

That saint, no matter who she is, is related to the Goddess Cult. This is something that is certain."

Clara walked up to Qiu Gongyue: "Now you know why Mia and I both think you are the key to breaking the current deadlock, right?"

Akimiya Yue's appearance is exactly the same as this oil painting from hundreds of years ago, and it is very likely to be related to the Goddess Cult. As the last heir of the Saint, Clara will definitely take risks after seeing Akimiya Yue's face.

contact with her.

It was precisely because of this that Mia could not wait to drag her into the Temple of the Moon on the first day she came to Bolt Castle in the autumn palace month.

Qiu Gongyue looked up at the oil paintings on the wall and felt very strange.

"this painting……"

Xu Cheng took a step forward and stood side by side with Qiu Gongyue: "Do you feel as if the painting is you?"

He is very familiar with Qiu Gongyue, and his observation skills are also very strong now. Judging from various details, the oil painting in front of him is obviously Qiu Gongyue himself.

Qiu Gongyue nodded. She also felt that the person in the painting was herself, not someone else who looked exactly like herself.

But how is this possible?

Unless someone can accurately predict that the person Qiugong Yue will be born hundreds of years later, and paint for her hundreds of years later.

Xu Cheng had another guess in his mind. Could it be that Qiu Gongyue traveled hundreds of years ago for some reason and then left this painting?

This is not impossible, because Xu Cheng once went back twelve years ago to protect Bai Yuelin.

Clara saw the couple in a daze and asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"

Xu Cheng came back to his senses: "You have been here for more than a hundred years and haven't seen any problems. Now you expect us to find any clues with just two glances?"

"Different."

Clara's eyes fell on Qiu Gongyue's face: "No one exactly the same has appeared before. I believe that her coming here is not an accident, but an arrangement of fate."

"If you can tell anything just by looking at it, take it off and check it first."

Nagumo Narumi said as he walked over and took the oil painting off the wall.

Clara did not stop this painting from hanging here. It has been inspected countless times. After so many years, it is not certain whether it is the original or not.

Nagumo Narumi checked the oil painting over and over and found nothing wrong.
