Sun God's Temple,

Conference Hall.

"A warning!!!" A middle aged Man yelled from a distance as he frantically ran down the marbled hallway.

"By Lord Ragol, Axiom calm down!!" A Bald headed man dressed in thick white robes yelled. This was the legendary Moonlight Robes that was said to have been stolen from The Night Mother herself and blessed by Ragol before being handed to the Archbishop of Sun God temple. Whether this was true, was yet to be verified as tales of old have long been distorted to it's present point. But the fact remained that this robe was mysterious, it has been intact for centuries.

Presently, the Archbishop was having a discussion with the three High priests of Cilldean. These individuals were all powerful in not just their individual strength but background, they came from some of the big families in the kingdom, namely Clearheart, Rosen and Molkan respectively, with Clearheart being the strongest, although the Rosen had the highest number of people who had been Archbishops.

Axiom struggled to catch his breath before speaking once more, "the Oracle received a message!".

Archbishop Constantine Kwin looked calmly without any obvious changes on his face. The others who had been shocked, calmed down as well.

"What were the contents of the message" He said as he now had a solemn expression, his baby blue eyes was rather striking. Although he didn't become one of the somewhat rare high humans, he still remained powerful as he developed this gem like eyes instead, which granted him some eye powers but no one knew it's abilities except him and his dead enemies.

Seeing no changes in their expression as he had his head bowed, Axiom poured out all the information in one breath, "She said that...T...The Evil one has chosen a champion and we're to investigate on his or her identity. Also an ancient Evil has appeared at the forbidden land of hope."

"Is that All?" Constantine asked.

"Y...Yes!" Axiom responded while wondering why the Archbishop seemed so angry today.

"you can leave"

Axiom bowed once more before leaving nervously, There was silence in the room as they watched him leave.

"We can't move the Sacred Knights now, Roderick is still chasing after those storm worshipers". Rosen spoke first as he smiled bitterly.

"Curses!! D*mn cultists..." Molkan complained.

"Don't let it get to you, after all their God is pretty much the creator of Unrest."Rodney Clearheart quipped as he tried ease the tension.

"Now, Now, we are not allowed to profane the Divine" Constantine said off handedly without placing much thought.

"What are we to do in this situation?" Molkan rested his face on his palm, He was clearly tired especially with the constant clash recently.

"I guess we'll just have to use the youngsters to check the status of the forbidden land." Constantine said with a sigh.

"What?!!!"

Rosen quickly agreed, "Your right, they seem to have too much time and energy on their hands"

Rodney still didn't speak, he thought about it and felt they didn't have a choice. The Archbishop then continued, "only those who have gone through the second evolution would go, One of you would go with them but only observe the situation From the sidelines"

"I'll go." Clearheart volunteered almost immediately. Clearly not surprised, Molkan scoffed before saying, "Hmph!...That aside, are we not going to talk about the Aura spike at the South? that thing was almost as strong as the Archbishop and clearly had a domain as well".

Hearing this, the Archbishop stood up from his chair and turned to look out the window as he stared at the afternoon sun," I think it's all connected, the same Aura was soon felt in the direction of the forbidden land, now Our Divine master mentioned an ancient Evil."

"It's all connected, I suspect that the Champion of Evil would probably be the one behind this, so I asked one of you to follow the investigation team." He turned to Rodney, who's blonde hair was basking in the sunlight, "Let this be the chance to temper our champion".

"I was thinking the same" Clearheart stated as he stood up to leave but the Archbishop's voice came from behind, "You too, do some digging... Hopefully this doesn't force us to call those old monsters at the Tower."

Rodney continued his steps without a word before disappearing from sight.

Black moon village

Alex watched as the villagers ran to and fro, gathering resources. He then lifted the Log that had been in front of him as his muscles bulged in protest. This was the Molten steel tree, Alex had found it strange that a tree acted like metal, this reminded him of the one they got from the Ogre. He, Urim and Torrelsav had to join hands to cut it down all morning.

Soon he exacted great effort to bring it to the Location he had designated for the Town Hall.

Due to the urgent need to use the Divine mana, the system had skipped the process for population and buildings, Directly upgrading the village. Now they needed to urgently build this structures and find more people before the final upgrade.

Catching his breath, he brought up the territory tab and studied it again.

[Ding!]

Level: Intermediate Lv1 (15000/15000)

Town Area: 4 square kilometre

Town Territory: 61 square kilometres

Residents: 323/1000 (A/N: minimum population requirement for Lv intermediate Lv2= 1500)

Soldiers: 154/300

Guards: 6/50

Sub territory: Basic Lv 1(Mura village)

Landmarks: Black Moon lake, Cold Valley, Laboni region(23%).

Existing structures: Lord's Manor, Village wall, Wooden Residential buildings x56, Smithy, Basic Logging(Fair), Farmland(73%), Advanced Mining Field(92%), Barracks (incomplete), Training Field (incomplete), Town Hall (Incomplete) Breeding house (incomplete).

"I only have three hundred plus villagers, the only way to get more people now is to Annex the tribes in Laboni region." Alex muttered while closing the Tab.

As soon as Ayaseh left with Alger't, the Villagers ran back to the village with Nazu leading them. At that time, Alex had been on the Wall thinking, he honestly wasn't expecting them early.

Him being alive left them in awe, after all they all felt that dreadful aura. soon new houses were built in place for the new members, although it lacked finesse like the other green bamboo houses that were made by the system. The goblins had tried to remake it and Alex had to admit that, 'it was a nice try'.

The number of farms had increased, as well as the amount of food needed, even though it was not yet an immediate issue. He needed to make a dedicated hunting party, Luckily Nazu brought potatoes from her area.

Alex only regretted that, there wasn't any fish in Black moon lake, if not that would have been heavenly. The Mine was still not fully active and the Kobold blacksmith, Coyorn was dead.

He tried escaping and was directly killed by Dabok. Moz was still by Alex's side, she decided to become a glorified bodyguard, much to Urim's distress. For some reason they didn't like each other.

Nazu on the other hand was already being treated as the queen of some sort, But Alex is too lazy to bother with that as he sent her and Moz out with some Hobgoblins to scout earlier today.

Haji, Lovan's son soon ran to Alex and announced, "Momen has returned from the forest".

Alex heard his words and couldn't help finding the whole thing funny, He had not yet proposed Marriage but his people were already giving her the position. 'It's like they believe with utmost certainty that I would take her!'

According to Dabok who had been giving him advise, He said 'It's only natural for her to be the one for you, what?! don't tell me you have someone you have your sights on in the village?, well if you do, then you can have them both, but then they'll have to fight to decide who...'

He kept mumbling as Alex walked away with a sigh...
