Chapter 238: The Twelve Cardinals

When Vezgor reached the front, the twelve Cardinals led all the followers in a deep, solemn bow, greeting Arix with a reverent, "Greetings to the Moon Goddess!"

In response to their overwhelming respect, Arix gave a small nod, lifting her chin again to stare down at them, her gaze cold and dismissive, as if they were nothing more than her servants.

But not every Cardinal was as awestruck as they appeared. Ignathor, one of the Cardinals, spoke up with a concerned tone, "Your Holiness, now that the Moon Goddess has returned, we should conduct a test right away. It would be disastrous if we were wrong."

Though some priests bristled at Ignathor's bluntness toward their supposed Moon Goddess, they couldn't deny the importance of his words. A silent agreement passed through them as they exchanged glances.

Vezgor didn't argue. He simply replied with a frosty, "Alright," before carrying Arix to the Moon Goddess Hall.
