Chapter 14: The First Mission

After receiving the mission, Moon Shadow and his party left according to the address on the mission.

After eating and drinking, Moon Shadow and his party rented four rooms on the second floor of a hotel, from which they could see the most prosperous commercial market. A shopkeeper helped Moon Shadow and the others carry their luggage, and after entering the room, he ran to the window, brushed the floor, opened the curtains, and opened the ventilation window, allowing the sunlight to shine in and bake the humid air in the room.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here? (Moon Shadow is only 15 years old)"

Moon Shadow solemnly took out the mission announcement.

"Oh!"

Moon Shadow pointed out the window and said, "Who is that girl with the sword?" ”

As soon as Xiao Er, who was placing the suitcase, looked up, he saw Moon Shadow pointing out the window, Xiao Er walked over, and followed the direction of Moon Shadow's finger to see the girl who was patrolling the street, she was holding a strange sword in her hand.

According to the shopkeeper, this small island is called Cloria, which is the largest trade market in the vicinity, with many merchants coming and going, and a large trading volume, which is a real gold town. A thriving financial district like this should have the highest crime rate, but Gloria has always been safe, and the crime rate of the islanders tends to be almost zero, with the occasional outward robber and the like.

And the reason why Gloria was able to maintain this good law and order atmosphere was all thanks to the swordsman girl Nianna. Nianna has been learning swordsmanship in the gym since she was a child, and now her swordsmanship has long been superb, and she can defeat ten trainee magicians with one enemy, so she has served as the head of the security department of Cloria, and is responsible for the important task of eradicating violence and peace.

"It's just ......" The shopkeeper glanced at the back of Nyanna, who had already reached the end of the street, and said, "Recently, she has become more and more irritable and strict, and some petty thieves will kill on the street, so now the citizens of the island are a little afraid of her." ”

Moon Shadow nodded thoughtfully, no wonder passers-by were careful to avoid her wherever she walked just now. Moon Shadow took out 100 magic crystals and sent the shopkeeper away.

Moon Shadow beckoned Kabajies and the others over and gave them 10,000 magic crystals, "Kabajies, you can take them to play!" After all, it's the first time to come to this place, so have a good time! ”

"Moonshadow Boss, aren't you coming along?" Kabajes asked, puzzled.

"Have fun, you guys! I'm going to investigate the mission! ”

"Oh well! Moon Shadow Boss, let's go play! Kabajes tossed the crystal in his hand and beckoned Wind Chime and Anne to play.

When Anne saw that Moon Shadow couldn't come together, she thought that Moon Shadow would be upset, so she comforted her and said, "Brother Moon Shadow, don't be sad! Little Anne will buy big, big fish for Brother Moon Shadow to eat! ”

When Moon Shadow heard Annie's words, she was really speechless, and could only touch Annie's head, "Well, go ahead!" It's fun! ”

After seeing Anne leave, Moon Shadow shook her head helplessly, "A child is a child. ”

Moon Shadow shook her right hand and said, "Interesting, then I'll go to the security department to meet with Nianna." ”

The visit to Nianna was unpleasant.

Moon Shadow didn't even enter the door of the Ministry of Security, so she was stopped at the door by Nianna and waited for Moon Shadow to explain her intentions, but Nianna just said in a tone that rejected people thousands of miles away: "Someone is willing to spend money to invite you to exorcise evil spirits, you can just do it, but if you cause trouble everywhere in the name of exorcism, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”

Through a brief exchange, Moon Shadow made two things clear: first, the murderous aura exuded by Nianna was heavier than rumored; Second, although it is not known for what reason, Nianna has no good feelings for outsiders, and can even be said to be disgusted.

With these two conclusions in mind, Moon Shadow left the Ministry of Security.

At that moment, Moonshadow's heart saw that the demonic aura emanating from the girl's name Nianna had reached the point where it distorted the air around her slightly.

Moon Shadow found the client's home according to the address on the mission, and on the way to the *courtyard, Moon Shadow listened to the client talk about his son's situation.

It turned out that the cheerful boy, since he went to the martial arts hall to learn swordsmanship, has become more and more quiet, at first the family thought that this was the result of self-cultivation, and felt happy, but then gradually found that the child was more and more wrong, often blinded and stupid, and his temper became more and more irritable as if he had completely changed a person, and the family began to suspect that he was possessed by a monster, so he asked the mercenary group to come and see.

After listening to the client's statement, Moon Shadow asked, "Has there been anything unusual in the martial arts hall lately?" ”

"Ahh No, the martial arts gym is very famous, and Miss Nianna often goes there to guide the students. ”

"Nianna?" Moon Shadow curled the corners of her lips, so she probably already knew what was going on with this boy.

As expected, the boy was indeed confused by the demonic energy, and Moon Shadow let the boy's family go out first.

Moon Shadow changed back to the color of his eyes, and as the boy's eyes gradually became clearer, he called his family in, Moon Shadow bent down and touched his head, and told him in a gentle tone, "Until I leave this Gloria Island, you don't want to go back to the martial arts gym, is it okay?" ”

The boy shook his head and looked at him, as if he was reluctant. Trying to coax the child to fail, Moon Shadow stood up straight, giving up her patience, (after all, he was only a 15-year-old child) and told the client directly, "Don't let your child go to the martial arts gym recently, he has a physique that can be easily controlled by monsters." ”

The client was shocked: "You mean the martial arts hall is not clean?" Is it an evil spirit? Or a monster? ”

Moon Shadow just smiled and didn't say anything in the face of the client's frequent questions, and he felt that he was not obligated to explain the problem after receiving the commission, so he waved his hand and walked away with a smile.

He had more important things to do than satisfy the curiosity of the rich man.

Moon Shadow returns to the inn and finds that Kabajes and his party have not returned, so she goes to eat by herself.

But Moon Shadow didn't expect that the news spread quickly on the island, but after eating lunch and taking a nap, almost everyone in the streets and alleys knew that there were monsters in the martial arts hall.

So in the afternoon, when Moon Shadow went to the martial arts hall to investigate the truth and reality, she saw Nianna angrily stopping at the door of the gym, a pair of beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her eyes were so sharp that she almost wanted to dig a few holes in him: "Why do you want to spread rumors?" (I have to say, angry women are the most terrible!) )

Moon Shadow immediately expressed her innocence, "Rumors? ”

"Don't play dumb! Isn't it you the one who says that there are monsters in the martial arts hall? ”

Looking at the girl whose emotions were about to get out of control, Moon Shadow's tone became more and more relaxed, "I never said that monsters are haunting in the martial arts hall, although the island is full of demonic energy, but the source of this demonic energy is not in the gym. ”

"Hmph, ridiculous! Still demonic? Nianna gave a sarcastic expression and pointed at Moon Shadow, "Don't think I don't know your identity, you're a demon clan, right?" ”

The sound stopped abruptly at this point, and Nianna suddenly clenched her chest, bent down as if she couldn't bear it, and whispered something like "no" in her mouth, as if in pain.

Moon Shadow looked at her quietly, her hands slowly retracting her magic.

When Moon Shadow uses no magic and steps forward to help Nianna, she is pushed away in disgust. As Nianna struggled, Moon Shadow's hand inadvertently touched the sword in her hand, and a pain like a flame burn suddenly penetrated into her heart, and Moon Shadow immediately withdrew her hand and flashed to the side, looking at the strange sword warily.

"You...... To give...... I...... Let's ......" Nianna stood by the door with a pale face, helping them stumble towards the martial arts hall.

Before she passed out completely, Moon Shadow seemed to have predicted it, and had already come to her side, reached out and hugged her limp body, and then carried her towards the museum
