Chapter 7: The Cursed Moon
It's late at night.
The night sky of Brut reflects the color of the sea, and the dark blue is from light to dark.
A dark purple full moon hung over the night sea, entwining deeper and deeper mist.
Su Xian raised his head to look at the purple moon, and recalled a passage that Mark had read from a church document.
"The moon was originally dark, but it was the arrival of the moon god who purified the darkness on the moon."
"But the white moon didn't last long."
"When Ragnarok arrives and the moon god falls over the South China Sea, the moon that was clear and clear becomes a cursed moon entwined in dark purple."
History seems to be true, but no one knows what the truth is.
However, this month, which was named "cursed", did not bring a real curse to the whole world.
Su Xian closed his eyes, feeling the high temperature and residual heat generated by the burning of the wooden house, but his mind flew into the distance.
Basically, he was deliberately diverting his attention.
Located on the southernmost edge of the sea in the Kingdom of Longn, the city of Brut is basically a seaport city.
From here, it only takes ten days and half a month to reach the neighboring archipelago country "Panta Kingdom".
Therefore, whether it is those wanted criminals who have committed serious crimes in the Kingdom of Longen, or the great nobles who have nowhere to stand due to political defeats, they like to pile up here.
The wanted criminals want to escape from the sea, and the nobles want to rebuild their capital here and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
With the arrival of these people, there are more and more collusions between officials and businessmen, power-for-money transactions, and violations of law and discipline.
Over time, the city of Brut developed into a lawless zone full of crime.
The academy area where Su Xian is located is already one of the safest areas in the entire Brut City.
But it's not safe either.
Perhaps some of the big forces will try not to get involved in these areas marked as "safe zones" because of some superficial influences, but small gang leaders like Banderrey who have no brains and don't know how to hide from them dare to come here to commit murder.
Of course, the fate of their rebellion is usually miserable.
After all, the students who can enter the Brut College are either rich or expensive, and they all have backstage, and the revenge must be endless.
……
It is about three or four hundred meters away from the treasure antiquities shop on the top of the bell tower.
Tina grabbed the lightning rod in one hand and stood firmly on the roof, her turquoise eyes staring in the direction of the antiquities shop.
The flames of the wooden house danced in the wind, and the black smoke rising into the sky.
The fate of Banderje and others is already obvious.
Tina bit her lip, rolled her eyes, and her tone was full of unwillingness: "What a bunch of mud that can't support the wall!" This Mark must have also obtained some kind of artifact through sacrifice. Someday, I'll take it away! ”
"Take away what? Are you trying to take your sister's heart? ”
Tina's infinitely coquettish voice suddenly came from behind her, and she was frightened, and her hair exploded in an instant, and her backhand was grabbed with a sharp claw.
The claw tore through the air, razor-sharp.
But she didn't think it would make a difference.
Although she awakened her extraordinary power some time ago, both her sense of hearing and smell was higher than that of mortals, she didn't notice that someone was approaching behind her at all, which showed that there was a huge difference in strength between the two.
So when she turned around, she was already kicking towards the roof, trying to use the force of the recoil to fly out.
But the person behind her reacted faster, grabbed her wrist in the blink of an eye, and forcibly pulled her in front of him!
This time, Tina finally saw the true face of the visitor.
This is a woman who is more delicate and charming than her!
"What a cute little kitten."
The woman stuck out her blood-red tongue and licked the corners of her mouth, her scarlet eyes looking greedily at Tina as if she were looking at a delicious meal.
……
Rare antiquities shop.
Su Xian watched the fire gradually extinguish and the wooden house turned into charcoal, so he returned to the house, and then turned around from top to bottom.
After making sure that there were no rare objects in the rare antiquities store that could cause a bookmark reaction, he entered the secret room, packed some important documents and most of the money into a shoulder bag, and then left the "ransacked" store with the bag.
The security system of Brut City has long been intervened by the evil forces, which is an open secret known to almost everyone with a slightly higher status.
They are now adhering to the principle of "more is better than less", and they will not and cannot pursue the life and death of gang members.
But Mark's rare antique shop is a legitimate storefront, and it is the right of taxpayers to apply for protection from the police.
So, he was going to go to the police station tomorrow to report the crime.
As a helpless student, he needs the police station to prove that his shop was accidentally affected by a gang fight, and the charred corpses in the wooden house in the backyard have nothing to do with him or his shop.
Until then, he would go to the academy for a normal day's lessons, do superficial work, and then let things ferment naturally, preferably with the police.
- This saves even the time to go to the police station.
As for now, he is preparing to go back to school.
Brut College can be said to be a safe zone within a safe zone, and among the places that Su Xian can go, there is no place to sleep more peacefully.
He is tired right now and desperately needs sleep to refresh himself.
It was quiet late at night, and there was hardly anyone to be seen on this street outside the academy.
Su Xian soon came to the gate of the college, and after showing his student ID to the security guard, he successfully entered the college.
It didn't take long for him to cross the shaded college path and enter the dormitory area.
He naturally had a room in the academy dormitory.
And because he was born in the aristocracy, the dormitory building is also in the aristocratic partition, and it is the kind of single-apartment dormitory with two bedrooms and one living room.
The dormitory buildings of the aristocratic district are obviously more upscale than the dormitory buildings of the ordinary dormitory area, and the whole of them has a palace-like appearance, and when you step into it, it is magnificent, and even the corridors are lined with expensive antique vases.
Su Xian took a photo with the dormitory manager, who obviously recognized him, and let him go directly without even showing his documents.
He nodded slightly, and walked up the stairs to the third floor of the dormitory building.
The aristocratic dormitory building has only three floors, but it covers an extremely large area.
Su Xian's dormitory is the second room on the third floor, and the room number is 302.
When he arrived at the door, Su Xian took out the key, inserted it into the lock hole, twisted it hard, and opened the door.
It was dark inside, and the light in the hallway illuminated the doorway, reflecting the magic tube light switch on the wall.
Su Xian changed into slippers at the door, took two steps forward, and pressed the switch.
As the leyline magic element flowed into the lamp, a yellowish light shone out.
Probably because of Mark's memory, he was familiar with the interior scenery, and a sense of security naturally welled up, but then the tiredness became stronger and stronger.
When he entered the bedroom, he only remembered to put the "Minotaur's nose ring" back into the card book, and then went to bed, and within a few seconds he was snoring.
……
The "Minotaur's nose ring", although useful, can make people gradually lose their rationality and become more and more like a brute bull.
Therefore, it cannot be worn for a long time.
