Once you have money, you will also attract the attention of robbers

"No need, it would be perfect if I could have some silver coins and some copper coins instead." "I'm happy to serve you."

Soon, Alice exchanged ten thousand silver coins and one million copper coins for Moonless, both equivalent to one hundred gold coins.

"Now that I've fulfilled your request, I wonder how you plan to take them with you?"

Originally, it was just one bag of gold coins, but now it multiplied into more than a dozen bags. However, Moonless wasn't worried about carrying them, because he had the bottomless Sky pocket that contained the treasures of the king.

"Thank you very much."

With a snap of Moonless's fingers, all the bags on the table disappeared into the Sky.

"Please accept this badge. As long as you are in the European continent, you can find a branch of our Fairy Home. If you want to buy or sell gemstones, you can go there. With this badge, you will receive certain privileges."

Alice was shocked by Moonless's actions just now, but she pretended to be calm and continued the conversation.

"Oh, thank you. I'll keep that in mind if I need it."

"Let's go, let's eat first."

Moonless left the Fairy Home with Joan of Arc, ready to find a place to have a big meal before registering at the Mercenary Guild.

"I must report this to the master, the legendary Sky magic!"

As soon as Moonless and Joan of Arc left, Alice immediately went to the backstage to report what she had just witnessed to the young man.

"Waiter, bring me your best food, one of everything!"

In a tavern, Moonless slammed the table and shouted, showing an air of a rich man. It was Joan of Arc's first time in such a place, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Are they underestimating us because we don't have money?"

After speaking, Moonless took out a dozen gold coins from the Sky, showing off his wealth. Finally, a waiter hurried over to help with the order.

"Brother, can we finish all that? We ordered so much."

After the waiter left, Joan of Arc asked Moonless in a low voice.

"Just eat without worries. If you can't finish it, I'll eat it. I have a big appetite."

Moonless patted his chest and laughed. At this moment, Moonless was unaware of a group of people in the tavern plotting something sinister.

"Guests, your dinner is ready."

One luxurious feast after another was placed on the table. Moonless began to devour them greedily, while Joan of Arc ate normally.

After about ten minutes, there were only empty plates on the table, not even a single scrap left, which caused everyone in the tavern to look at Moonless sitting nonchalantly in his chair as if they were looking at a monster.

"Waiter, no, excuse me."

After the meal, Moonless let out a satisfied burp and called a passing waiter.

"What can I do for you?"

"Do you have accommodation here?"

"We do provide lodging services. What kind of room are you looking for?"

"What options do you have? Regular, medium, high-end, or luxury?"

"We have regular, medium, and high-end rooms, but the high-end ones are fully booked."

"Then give us two medium ones."

"Alright, please wait a moment. Let me check if there are any available."

"Go ahead, but be quick."

After a while, the waiter returned to Moonless with a hint of apologies.

"I'm sorry, sir. We don't have any medium rooms left."

"In that case, give us two regular ones then."

"Apologies, but we don't have any regular rooms either. The only room available is a luxury room that can accommodate two people."

"Then we'll take the luxury room. Here's the payment for the meal and accommodation."

Moonless left ten gold coins on the table and took Joan of Arc to their room. But before they left, Moonless added a sentence to the waiter.

"Do you have any testing crystals for sale? If you do, please buy one for me. Thank you."The waiter eagerly agreed and quickly bought the testing crystal. Moonless gave him three gold coins, which made the waiter very happy.

"Joan of Arc, are you done showering?"

In the room, Moonless sat in a chair, playing with the testing crystal in his hand. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like an ordinary crystal ball, which made him wonder.

"Yes, I'm done."

Joan of Arc, who had finished bathing, came to Moonless in her pajamas.

"Let's begin then."

Moonless first had Joan of Arc sit in front of him, holding the testing crystal in one hand. Slowly, he infused it with magic until it returned to its normal state after glowing for a moment. Only then did he allow Joan of Arc to place her hand on top of the crystal ball.

After a few seconds of Joan of Arc touching the testing crystal, it lit up - first with a dazzling white light of the light attribute, then with a fiery red light of the fire attribute, and finally with a hint of darkness from the shadow attribute. But it didn't end there. After the testing crystal finished testing Joan of Arc's attributes, a series of information appeared in front of Moonless. This was the viewing system he carried with him.

"Although I knew approximately what Joan of Arc's attributes were in the game, she is now completely different from the game. If she can reach the level from the game within five years, Joan of Arc would undoubtedly be a genius, a genius with both magic and martial skills!"

Moonless stared intensely at the virtual panel in front of him. He didn't even realize when Joan of Arc had let go of the crystal ball. Even when Joan of Arc came to his side and called out to him loudly, he didn't respond.

"Brother!"

Only when Joan of Arc came to his side and called out loudly did he snap out of his daze.

"Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought just now."

"Let's stop here for tonight. Go to sleep, I'll sleep on the couch here, and tomorrow I'll prepare something for you."

Moonless affectionately patted Joan of Arc's head. In Moonless' heart, Joan of Arc was already like a younger sister to him. It was also his way of making up for past mistakes.

In the past, Moonless had a happy and perfect family. However, twelve years ago, there was an explosion at the workplace of his parents, leaving him and his three-year-younger sister. At that time, Moonless was studying abroad, and shortly after his parents' death, his sister, unable to bear the bullying, committed suicide, leaving him alone. It wasn't until more than three months had passed that a person claiming to be a friend of his parents found him and told him the whole story.

Moonless dropped out of school and returned home, living a muddled life for twelve years. During these twelve years, he never left the house but played games, particularly the game known as The extradimensional world, abbreviated as TEW. In the game, he met many people, made some friends, and formed a guild called Ten Rights Organization. It was during that time that Moonless found motivation to live, constantly changing himself over the twelve years. But he always blamed himself for the deaths of his parents and sister.

"Well then, good night, brother."

Joan of Arc greatly appreciated Moonless' actions towards her and went to sleep after bidding him good night.

"Well, it's getting late. I need to squash some mosquitoes before going to sleep."

Moonless stood up, stretched his waist, and suddenly felt a bit tired. However, there were a few mosquitoes outside, making it impossible to sleep peacefully, so Moonless decided to go out and kill them."Hurry up!"

A group of people were gathering outside the door of a luxurious private room in the tavern. They all carried weapons, dressed in black clothes, looking like a gang of robbers planning to break in.

"You all understand the operation plan. We will act according to the plan later."

A thin-faced man leaned against the wall and turned to the people behind him.

"Yes, boss!"

The group of people clearly knew the plan: wait for the people inside to fall asleep, take the money and valuables, and then kidnap them, demanding a large ransom from their families. However, they were unaware that among their group, there was an undercover guest who was secretly following them.

"So what's the plan?" Moonless, who was standing at the back, asked curiously like an innocent child.

"Are you stupid? Of course, the plan is..."

In front of Moonless was a slightly overweight man, resembling a walking barrel, who told Moonless the details of the plan.

"Oh! I see now."

Moonless suddenly understood, patting the man's shoulder with an enlightened expression.

"It's good that you understand."

The man felt proud that he had educated a new member, but Moonless's response left him dumbfounded.

"So, you guys are planning to kidnap me, right?"

With a mischievous smile, Moonless patted the man's shoulder.

"Boss, that fat lamb is here! He even knows our plan!"

After a while, the man finally reacted and loudly stopped the group of people who were prying the door open.

"Shh, lower your voices. Someone downstairs is resting; it's not good to disturb them," Moonless kindly reminded the man.

"Oh, right, right! Let me catch you."

The man turned around, wanting to control Moonless, but instead ended up embracing thin air.

"I'm right here, fatty," Moonless said, standing behind the man, grinning and patting his shoulder. Not only that, but he also had prepared something in advance.

"You dare to mess with Lord Byron? Take this!"

Angered by Moonless's teasing, the man turned around and threw a punch.

"Ow!"

Unfortunately, the man didn't realize that his punch had landed on a fellow gang member's face, sending him flying far away.

"Oh no! I hit too hard. The boss will scold me. What should I do?"

"Yeah, it's a horrible sight. His face is all distorted."

Moonless stood next to the man, mischievously pretending to look ahead.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"

After hearing Moonless's voice, the man turned his head and spotted him, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Wait and see a good show."

When the man was about to take action again, Moonless quickly stopped him.

"A good show? What good show?"

The man actually stopped and asked Moonless curiously.
