"How are you doing? Have you made up your mind?" Seeing Joan of Arc walking over with a sad expression and lowered head, Moonless finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the sudden time travel to cause the disappearance of The Orleans Knights' Saint Joan of Arc. After all, Joan of Arc was an important figure in the game, leading her own knight order to guard one side of the continent of Europe. However, due to her outstanding performance in several ethnic attacks on the continent, she became too prominent in the empire and was eventually slandered by some jealous individuals, leading her to fall from being the Saint of Light to the Witch of Dragons. She also experienced the first ethnic invasion event in the game.

"Moonless, I want to become stronger! Please teach me how to become as powerful as you!" Joan of Arc raised her head, a determined look in her eyes. In the previous battles, she saw Moonless' strength and she hoped to become as strong as him to carry out her revenge plan.

"Are you sure? If you are planning to desperately fight against that evil force in the future, please forgive me for not being able to promise you that. But at least I will safely take you to a nearby town and entrust you to a family for a peaceful life."

Moonless understood Joan of Arc's thoughts very well, as he could see the flames of revenge in her eyes.

"But, but..."

Joan of Arc seemed to be greatly aggrieved, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Don't 'but' anymore, live well. Perhaps that is what your parents would want the most. They wouldn't want you to seek revenge, it's not worth it."

"Furthermore, karma will prevail in the end, trust me."

Moonless reached out and placed his hand on Joan of Arc's head.

"Now, I should continue."

After speaking, Moonless lightly tapped his staff on the ground, and the huge magic array in the sky officially activated.

The magic used in this array was not the holy light judgment or any ultimate super magic; it was just a large-scale purification spell. The reason for the misunderstanding was that Moonless had made some modifications to the magic array. He simply layered an inactive holy light judgment magic over the purification spell to confuse the enemy, and mentioning super magic was just to disrupt their thoughts. This was a supportive magic that Moonless had independently developed in the game, named "Dark Road to Chen Cang". In essence, it was just a clever trick recognized by the system at the time and not very useful in the game, but it became valuable after his time travel.

"Let the living strive, let the departed rest in peace, let the departed rest in peace, as the living."

As Moonless finished his simple sentence, the entire village was covered by holy light. This scene was like a gathering of the departed souls in heaven, and strands of white light ascended along the direction of the holy light.

"Dad, mom, I will definitely live well! I promise you!"

Joan of Arc seemed to see her parents in the holy light, tears instantly flowing, but then wiped away. She bid them a strong farewell and raised her hand to wave.

"Alright, let's rest in the village for the night. Tomorrow, people from the empire's affiliated kingdom should come to investigate. When that happens, just tell them the truth, and we'll go to the kingdom with them."

After purifying the evil spirit from the entire village, Moonless felt somewhat exhausted. After all, it wasn't good to have such a hectic first day of time travel. He wasn't very adapted to this world yet. Otherwise, with Moonless' personality, he wouldn't have just used a basic hammer in the battle against the ancient dragon, but would have used more advanced magic.

"Okay, Master."

After experiencing the incident of the village's destruction, Joan of Arc seemed to have changed. She became someone whom Moonless felt resembled the Saint Joan of Arc in the game, lacking only in heroism, gentleness, and tolerance.

"Well, no, no, my head is hurting. Just call me Moonless."

Moonless, who was already exhausted, felt a headache coming on when addressed as Master by Joan of Arc. He covered his forehead, waved his hand to refuse the title she gave him."Okay, master! I understand, master!"

Joan of Arc seemed to have firmly decided that Moonless was her master. She was one hundred percent certain about calling him master.

"Stop it, can't you change it to another title? Like Moonlessbrother or something?"

Moonless looked at Joan of Arc with a pained expression, while Joan of Arc earnestly looked back at him. The atmosphere between them became particularly cold.

"Can... can I really?"

Joan of Arc suddenly blushed, and upon seeing her expression, Moonless suddenly had the urge to find a hole to hide in. This was really too embarrassing.

"Whatever, it's up to you."

Moonless didn't care anymore. If Joan of Arc wanted to call him whatever she wanted, then so be it. After all, he wouldn't lose out, right? So Moonless ignored Joan of Arc and walked towards the room.

"Brother."

Joan of Arc watched as Moonless yawned and walked away, and the word "brother" slipped out of her mouth.

However, the moment that simple word "brother" came out of Joan of Arc's mouth, Moonless stopped in his tracks.

"Suit yourself."

Moonless finally responded to Joan of Arc after a long pause.

"Well then, goodnight, brother."

Joan of Arc said and ran off, leaving Moonless standing at the door without moving for a long time.

"Perhaps we have something in common after all."

Moonless turned his head and looked at the empty room behind him. He said something that he didn't know the meaning of.

Sure enough, the next morning, a group of knights claiming to be the Holy Order of the Farran Kingdom arrived at the village and found the only remaining Joan of Arc and Moonless. During the knights' investigation, Joan of Arc did not reveal Moonless' identity as a mage, but instead claimed he was her brother. Joan of Arc didn't know that Moonless was not a mage, but a priest. Moonless cooperated by changing his hair color to match Joan of Arc's golden hair, and tied a small braid at the back of his head. Paired with a pair of retro glasses, he gave off a refined and dignified feeling.

After a long questioning and inspection, Moonless and Joan of Arc set off on the road to the Farran Kingdom with the knights.

Today or tomorrow should be the beginning of Moonless' new life of adventure in the new world, along with his new companion, the future leader of The Orleans Knights, Joan of Arc.

"Brother, you're not from this continent, right?"

"I am from the Eastern region of the Great Xia Empire on the Asian continent."

"Does brother miss your parents?"

"They are no longer here."

"Oh! I'm sorry."

"It's alright. Joan of Arc, would you like to visit the Asian continent?"

"Can I? I want to see it. I used to hear stories about the Asian continent from the village elder."

"Then I'll take you in two years. But Joan of Arc, you must work hard during this time."

On the way, Joan of Arc and Moonless chatted, and under the protection of the knights, they successfully arrived at the border of the Farran Kingdom by evening. Although Moonless and Joan of Arc took a little more time to enter the city, overall, it went smoothly.

"I forgot, I transferred all my money."

After entering the city, Moonless held his chest, looking like he was about to vomit blood.

"I'm so sorry, I'll definitely pay you back next time."

Since an entrance fee was required to enter the city, Moonless completely forgot that he had transferred all his in-game coins to his bank card before the server shutdown. Now he had no money at all, only a pile of materials and consumables.

"Well, it's okay. Brother, you don't have to pay me back because we are family."Joan of Arc shook her head quickly and refused, "Well! I will work hard to earn money! I will definitely not let Joan of Arc go hungry!"

Moonless cheered up. Even if they didn't have money, he still had a lot of materials and supplies that he could sell to sustain them. "Joan of Arc, come with me to sell things. After we sell them, we'll go eat and fill our stomachs."

"Yes, I'll listen to my big brother," Joan of Arc obediently replied. She listened to Moonless and treated him as her own brother, and vice versa, Moonless took care of Joan of Arc as if she were his own sister.

"Alright, let's go."

After they entered the city, Moonless changed his disguised hair color back and took out a deep purple gemstone the size of his fist from the King's Treasure.

"What a beautiful gemstone."

Joan of Arc was attracted by the gemstone that Moonless took out. Women cannot resist beautiful things.

"Do you like it? It's for you."

Seeing that Joan of Arc liked the gemstone in his hand, Moonless hesitated and passed it to her without hesitation.

"Ah! No, I don't need it. It's useless for me. Let's sell it instead."

She liked it, but they needed to sell the gemstone for money. Joan of Arc knew that Moonless didn't have any money, not even a single copper coin. She herself didn't have much money either, only less than a hundred copper coins left.

"If you want it, just tell me."

Moonless laughed when he saw Joan of Arc's hesitant gaze.

After Moonless inquired about a place to sell things, he brought Joan of Arc to a gem shop called "Home of Fairies." When Moonless opened the door, the scene inside immediately made Joan of Arc unable to close her mouth in surprise. She had lived in a village all her life and rarely saw so many gemstones. Not to mention, they were mostly flawless and exquisite gemstones.

"Well, we'll have these someday."

Moonless smiled and comforted Joan of Arc by patting her head.

"Okay."

Joan of Arc obediently nodded.

"Is your boss here?"

Moonless came to the front desk and tapped on it, asking.

"It's me. May I ask whether this guest wants to buy gemstones or sell gemstones?"

The shopkeeper of this shop was a young girl of the Feather Clan. The girl saw that Moonless didn't dress like an ordinary poor person, so she treated him very well.

"I want to sell. Take a look at this."

After speaking, Moonless took out the gemstone in his hand.

"This is!?"

The shopkeeper was surprised when she saw the gemstone that Moonless took out emitting a strong magical aura. She rarely saw gemstones with so much magic, not even the top-quality gemstones. The only possibility was that it was the highest quality gemstone.

"This is Amethyst, a superior gemstone. If it is set in a weapon, I'm sure the owner of this shop knows how valuable it is."

Moonless introduced the Amethyst he took out.

"What! Superior!?"

The shopkeeper was startled by Moonless's words. She never expected it to be just a superior gemstone, not the highest quality.

"How much will you offer, shopkeeper?"

Moonless didn't want to waste too much time explaining. He just wanted to exchange it for money and have a meal quickly, after promising Joan of Arc.

"How much are you hoping to sell it for?"

The shopkeeper swallowed her saliva. For a superior gemstone, it would probably be difficult to find a buyer on the market, but for a gemstone that was almost on par with the highest quality, she couldn't estimate its value. Moreover, whether she could afford to buy it was also a question. What if the other party asks for an astronomical price?

"Joan of Arc, what do you think? Shopkeeper, how about this price?"Moonless looked at Joan of Arc, and Joan of Arc looked back at him. After a brief discussion, Moonless raised five fingers to the shopkeeper.

"50,000 gold coins? Or 500,000 gold coins? Or even higher?"

The shopkeeper became a bit nervous and couldn't make up his mind.

"Excuse me, sir. Can you please wait for a moment? I'll consult with my boss."

The shopkeeper decided to consult with his superior.

"Sure, but please hurry. We have other things to do."

Moonless held hands with Joan of Arc and walked to the waiting area to wait in silence.

"Boss."

The young male avian raised his head and looked at the girl as she approached.

"What's the matter, Alice?"

The girl explained in detail what had happened.

"I see, Alice. You can handle it this way for now. If it doesn't work, add some more. Try to build a good relationship with him."

"Yes!"

Alice followed the young man's instructions and returned to the front desk.

"So, can you give us that amount? If it's too much, then this amount will do."

Moonless reluctantly extended two fingers, as Purple Agate was common in the game and not very valuable. One Purple Agate was only worth 40 gold coins, which would be equivalent to 40 dollars.

"20,000 gold coins?!"

Alice inadvertently blurted out, unsure whether this was right or wrong.

"20,000 gold coins?!"

Moonless and Joan of Arc were shocked by the price, especially Moonless. He didn't expect that a Purple Agate would be worth 20,000 gold coins. This happiness came too suddenly.

"Do you think it's too little? Then I..."

Before Alice could finish her sentence, Moonless interrupted her.

"No, no, no. 20,000 gold coins is fine. Can we have it now?"

Moonless was afraid that the other party might change their mind, so he quickly agreed to the price of 20,000 gold coins.

"Ah! Okay, please wait a moment."

Alice was taken aback. She originally planned to ask if they would sell for 500,000 gold coins, but the other party directly agreed to 20,000 gold coins. What was going on in this world? It was always full of surprises. She had been startled several times today.

"Esteemed customer, here are the 20,000 gold coins you sold. Please keep them safe."

"Since you have a large amount of money, would you like us to exchange it for Purple Gold coins?"

Alice placed the bag containing the 20,000 gold coins on the counter and added.
