"Coming up soon, three, two, one." Moonless began counting down from three, and then Moonless's promised spectacle began.
"What the heck is this!"
"Damn it! Can't break free."
"What's with these chains? Why can't I break them?"
"And I feel my whole body getting weaker."
As soon as the group rushed into the room, they triggered the trap set by Moonless, known as the Heavenly Lock, and one by one they were bound up like participants in a game of shameful play.
"Fatty, how's their pose?"
Moonless brought Boren to the door, leading him to witness something he had never seen before - 'knowledge'.
"I can't really tell, but I still think our boss and the others are amazing. Boren, I could never do that."
Boren looked at the bound robbers, feeling disheartened, and then looked at his own figure, feeling even more dejected.
"As long as you're willing to put in the effort, you can do it too, trust me."
While Moonless and Fatty chatted, the leader of the robbers who broke into the room began to beg for mercy.
"Dear magician, please spare us! We didn't know it was you. If we had known you were a magician, we would never have dared to disturb your rest. Please let us go! We're just a group of poor people who can't even get enough to eat."
As the leader of the robbers finished speaking, the rest of the bound individuals also began to plead, except for Fatty, who was left dumbfounded.
"Boss, haven't we been eating well all along? Why are they saying they can't get enough to eat? Lying is wrong and will be punished by the gods."
It seemed that Boren was naive and unaware of the dangers of the outside world. He immediately slapped each and every one of the robbers in the face.
"Boren!"
After Boren stirred up trouble like this, the leader of the robbers became infuriated, wishing he could tear this fatty in half as soon as they got out.
"Ah! Boss, did I say something wrong? But I remember that you eat four meals a day, and Colin eats three..."
Boren held up his hands and started counting, perfectly counter-attacking, leaving everyone present stunned.
"Your name is Boren, right?"
Moonless couldn't help but laugh and patted Boren on the shoulder, asking.
"Yes, I'm Boren Cristeline. My family used to be sheep farmers. I've killed a lot of wild beasts. And you, Fat Sheep?"
Boren smiled foolishly, introducing himself to Moonless.
"Moonless, from East Asia's Huaxia on the Asian continent."
When Moonless stated where he was from, everyone present, except for the foolish Boren, froze, too scared to move.
"Boss, what's wrong with all of you?"
Seeing that his boss and the others were all tensed up, sweating profusely and not daring to move, Boren was curious about what was happening.
"Fool, you don't know about the Asian continent?!"
Seeing how foolish Boren was, his boss couldn't help but scold him.
"Huaxia is one of the great nations on the Asian continent, and it's known to be very mysterious. It can be said to be the peak nation of the Asian continent. It's said that strong warriors are everywhere, and you can easily encounter several strong warriors on the roads, and even super strong warriors are possible."
On the vast land of the Asian continent, there are two large countries. One is the Ross Empire, located in North Asia, with the largest land area on the continent. The people there are all battle maniacs, and that country is a true fighting nation.
The other major country is located in East Asia, called Huaxia. Although there are many small countries within Huaxia, these small countries all revolve around Huaxia. Moreover, Huaxia is the oldest existing country. Huaxia is a country shrouded in mystery. It is said that every part of Huaxia has martial sects and powerful individuals can be seen everywhere. Any mid-level or above martial sect can easily destroy a country. It can be said that Huaxia has the largest number of strong individuals among all the countries on the continent. In addition, Huaxia once declared to the world, "Offend Huaxia and you will be punished, no matter how far you are." However, there were some insignificant small countries that really violated this declaration. At that time, they engaged in activities such as looting and burning villages on the borders of Huaxia. As a result, Huaxia sent over 2,000 A-level strong individuals and ten S-level strong individuals to seek revenge. In the end, that small country disappeared from history.
The most important thing is that Huaxia and the Ross Empire are in an alliance, so no one dares to harm the people of Huaxia on the Asian continent. Firstly, they fear the combat capabilities of the Ross Empire, because the Ross Empire has previously launched war against all the countries on the American continent that were far away from them. That war lasted for over a decade and nearly caused the collapse of the entire American continent. If it weren't for the timely development of mechanical resistance by the people on the American continent and the intervention of Huaxia, the war would likely have lasted much longer. Therefore, the Ross Empire announced an alliance with Huaxia and became the 'guardian' of the peaceful country of Huaxia. Although Huaxia doesn't need it, the emperor of the Ross Empire likes to tie Huaxia and his country together. Secondly, Huaxia has a large population, and many powerful individuals can be found in various parts of the world. They have even established organizations specifically to help their people abroad, which other countries have since followed suit. Therefore, no country dares to harm the people of Huaxia without reporting them, as the consequences would be severe.But in the game, in the year 610, which is the start of the game, every player would experience the initial storyline, which is the invasion of the various continents by the demonic tribe. At that time, the various nations began to discuss gathering all their power to resist the demonic tribe. So, no matter which country they are from, they would have the same options for professions, although there would be some running around when changing professions. Many foreigners chose the unique professions of the Huaxia, such as Qi Gong Master, Swordsman, Xiake, Martial Artist, and many others. Moonless, on the other hand, chose the relatively unpopular profession of Priest in the Western region. In the TEW game, the Priest can be considered a purely supportive profession, with very few offensive skills. Few people like to play this profession, and even if someone does, it doesn't necessarily mean they can play it well. This is because the Priest has a heavy responsibility as a support position in a team, and it's better to have the self-defense and sustainability abilities of a Qi Gong Master. After some improvements in the later stage of the game, the Priest profession began to have its place. Priests can learn Light and Dark Magic of Magicians, giving them enough offensive capabilities. They have also become one of the top five professions in PVP.
"Are you surprised?"
Moonless, who had no idea about the historical development at that time, had no idea what they were afraid of, after all, he was just a traveler who crossed over inexplicably. The history of the game was just something he occasionally glanced at while playing.
"Nevermind, I'm a bit tired too. Just go back where you came from."
Moonless yawned and walked into his room, releasing the control of the Heavenly Lock on them. Then he added a sentence.
"If you disturb my sister's awakening, be prepared."
Moonless' smile appeared particularly terrifying in the eyes of everyone, like a bloodthirsty beast. They all fled in a panic, leaving behind a clumsy and slow Bolun, who was still carrying a comrade-in-arms who had been beaten unconscious.
"It's getting late, time to sleep."
After confirming that there was no crisis around him again, Moonless closed the door and lay on the sofa to sleep.
In the morning, when Joan of Arc woke up and saw Moonless sitting on the sofa, lazily drinking the tea provided by the inn, she had no idea what he was mumbling about. She walked over and said "Good morning" before going to freshen up.
"The breakfast is getting cold. Do you want to go out with me after eating?"
"Sure."
Joan of Arc quickly finished her breakfast, packed her things, and followed Moonless out.
"Hold this. Don't lose it. Even if you do, it doesn't matter."
Moonless handed a beautiful bag to Joan of Arc, who curiously took it and was shocked when she opened it.
"Brother, what's this?!"
The bag contained dozens of gold coins and a purple agate carved into a cross, which instantly stunned Joan of Arc. She didn't expect Moonless to give her these.
"The money is your pocket money. Buy whatever you want with it. If it's not enough, I'll give you more. As for the purple agate... um, originally, I was planning on carving a nice shape, but it ended up being carved into a cross. Hahaha."
Moonless explained and felt a bit embarrassed while talking about the purple agate. He initially thought that all his skills in the game were still intact, so he believed his life skills would be too. That's why he carved the purple agate based on his memory of Joan of Arc's appearance. But he soon realized that he hadn't maxed out his carving skill, only having it at level one, so he couldn't carve out what he wanted. He could only make some simple carvings, and the advanced ones were completely unrealistic.
"Thank you, big brother."
Joan of Arc didn't care about the gold coins in the bag, the only thing she cared about was the gift Moonless made for her. Even though it wasn't perfect, and not very beautiful with some flaws, Joan of Arc didn't mind at all. She liked it very much and would treasure this gift.
At the entrance of the Mercenary Guild in the Kingdom of Fashilan, Moonless watched the bustling scene inside the guild and couldn't help but remember some clashes that happened while taking quests in the game. He also met some friends during those clashes, making Moonless fall into reminiscence."Brother? Aren't we going in?"
After seeing Moonless lost in thought again, Joan of Arc shook his hand and brought him back to reality.
"Sorry, just thinking about the past."
"The past? What happened?"
"I met them right here at the entrance of the mercenaries guild. Now, I'm the only one left."
"..."
Although Joan of Arc knew that Moonless was very strong and had probably had a group of companions of similar strength, she didn't expect that he had not only lost his family, but also his companions, leaving only him. She couldn't help but feel sad for him and silently made a vow to become stronger and always be by his side.
