Chapter Twenty-Eight: Moonlight City
When Lemon heard that Sun Xiaofei was willing to help, a look of joy flashed on his face, and he hesitated and said, "Your Excellency Ryan, it's great." I'm really glad you're willing to help. However, there is one more thing I want to tell you. ”
Sun Xiaofei raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile on his face, "What's the matter?"
"To tell you the truth, the incident that happened last time actually had something to do with me, and the two orc spies I sent to the barracks, but I didn't expect it to almost cause a catastrophe. Lemon said in a gloomy tone.
"What! It's you. Mr. Lemond, how could you make such a mistake?" Sun Xiaofei asked in surprise when he heard this.
Lemon sighed heavily, looked at Sun Xiaofei with some remorse in his eyes, and said, "It's all my fault, it's me who was too careless." Don't be in a hurry, listen to me tell you slowly. ”
Lemon began to tell Sun Xiaofei about the cause and origin of the incident. He told Sun Xiaofei how he found out about the two Amogita brothers and sisters, and how he was deceived by Amojita and sent them to the barracks. Because of his negligence, he almost caused a serious loss to the empire.
Because of this mistake, Lemond and his family were implicated and severely punished by the upper echelons of the empire, in exchange for the Dewey family ceding the interests of the Purple Moon Stone. Originally, the Dewey family, where Lemon belonged, was the most powerful and powerful family in the Purple Moon Country, and almost monopolized most of the Purple Moon Stone mining and sales business in the Purple Moon Country.
Purple Moon Stone is a special product of the Purple Moon Country, which has many magical functions, which can be used to refine weapons or elixirs to increase the success rate and quality. When refining, after adding purple moon stone, both the quality and efficacy will be greatly improved. Therefore, purple moon stone is a very precious item, and the annual production is scarce, fixed in a range.
The Dewey family is facing a huge crisis, and the empire wants to support another family that is equal in strength to the Dewey family, compete with the Dewey family, and carve up the interests of the purple moonstone.
Both sides refused to budge for the sake of Purple Moon Stone, and the matter became more and more troublesome, and in the end, the two families had to resort to the most common solution in the Via continent to deal with the fight between the two sides. It is to decide the winner through the competition, and the winner will naturally take over all the affairs of the Purple Moon Stone and become the manager of the Purple Moon Stone.
This time, Lemon just wanted to ask Sun Xiaofei for help to help his family win this duel match. Because of the importance of the matter, Lemon didn't think of a more suitable candidate for a while, so he found Sun Xiaofei.
Sun Xiaofei listened to everything Lemon said, and looked pensive. Lemon looked at him a little nervously from the sidelines, not daring to disturb him quietly. This matter is related to the rise and fall of his family, Rao is Lemon has not interfered in the family's affairs for a long time, and he has to put down his face and beg Sun Xiaofei for help.
After a long time, Sun Xiaofei took a long breath, looked at Lemond with a flickering gaze, and said, "So that's the case." Okay, I promise you. When are we leaving?"
"Your Excellency Ryan, you have agreed, and I am relieved. I'll go back and get ready, and I'll come over and tell you when the time comes. With Sun Xiaofei's words, it was equivalent to a guarantee, and Lemon immediately got up and said goodbye.
Sun Xiaofei sent him away and turned around to go back to the room. Not long after they sat down, they saw Lucia walk in, and Sun Xiaofei motioned for them to sit down.
As soon as Lucia entered, he asked, "Ryan, why did Mr. Lemon come to you?"
Sun Xiaofei told Lucia about the matter and wanted to hear his opinion. Lucia pondered for a moment and had no objection to Sun Xiaofei's decision, but said a piece of news that surprised Sun Xiaofei. Lucia wanted to get away from here for a while and take care of some personal matters.
Sun Xiaofei didn't expect Lucia to choose to leave at this time, and he wouldn't be so worried if it was usual. However, the current situation is a little different, the beasts and the people of the Night Empire are ready to move, and Lucia leaves the rock city alone, just afraid that there will be some dangers on the way.
"Lucia, don't leave in such a hurry, now that there is a crisis outside the city, wouldn't it be better to leave later?"
Thinking of this, Sun Xiaofei couldn't help frowning, and said some words to save Lucia and ask Lucia to postpone leaving for a while.
Lucia smiled, he didn't care about the danger on the road, and said, "Ryan, what I have decided will not be changed easily, and you know this very well. Don't worry, with my cultivation, can't I escape if I can't beat it?"
"Well, you have to be careful along the way. I have something here, so I'll give it to you for self-defense. Sun Xiaofei knew that he couldn't persuade Lucia to dispel the idea of leaving, so he had to give him a few words, and took out some talismans such as amulets from the storage bracelet and life-saving and energy-restoring elixirs to him.
With these things, although there is no guarantee that Lucia will be safe all the way after leaving, there is at least an extra layer of security. Sun Xiaofei was able to take out so many valuable items at once, which shows how much he attaches importance to Lucia's friend.
Lucia took the items presented by Sun Xiaofei, and there was no need to say more about the words of gratitude between friends, he glanced at Sun Xiaofei deeply, and then turned around and left with a low thank you. Sun Xiaofei stood at the door, waving goodbye to Lucia, looking a little lonely.
All the while, Lucia accompanied him everywhere, through all kinds of dangers and tribulations. Now without the latter by his side, Sun Xiaofei feels a little lost.
On the day Lucia left, Sun Xiaofei didn't show up, he locked himself in the house, cultivating frantically, as if he wanted to vent all the suppressed emotions in his heart.
Within two days, Lemon came over to inform Sun Xiaofei that he could leave for the Purple Moon Country. Before leaving, they still had to talk to Amber and the other elders of the God of War Temple, and the two of them went to find Amber together, dealt with the matter, and left Rock City.
It takes about ten days to reach Moonlight City, the main city of the Purple Moon Country, from Rock City. Of course, the time of this journey is only relative to ordinary people, for Sun Xiaofei and other strong people, if the speed of the ten-day journey is faster, it is a matter of two or three days.
The Purple Moon Country is a small country with a small territorial area, and there are only a few dozen cities that can be counted. Moonlight City is one of the few large cities in the Purple Moon Country, and it is also the main city of the Purple Moon Country. The most important economic and military centers of the Purple Moon Country are located here. The competition here is also extremely fierce, and those who can gain a foothold in Moonlight City are definitely the top family forces in the Purple Moon Country.
With its strong strength, the Dewey family has dominated Moonlight City for decades, and its power network is intertwined, covering the cities of the Purple Moon Country and surrounding countries. The rise of the Dewey family is not accidental, but after years of hard work, it occupies the largest economic source of the Purple Moon Country, the trading business of Purple Moon Stone Minerals, and thus grows in one fell swoop.
Sun Xiaofei followed Lemond to Moonlight City, and another big reason was to understand the development history of the Dewey family and learn from some experience and apply it to his own family.
With Lemon, a man familiar with the road, led the way, it only took the two three days to arrive in Moonlight City, and they were intercepted by many orcs and the Night Empire along the way. It's just that with the strength of the two of them, there is naturally no danger, and after killing some strong enemies with thunder means to deter them, they successfully escaped and left.
The two flew through the air, like meteors catching the moon. At first, Lemon wanted to test Sun Xiaofei's speed, so he used his fastest speed to advance. Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaofei followed with a relaxed face, and he didn't look too embarrassed.
This time, Lemon was completely convinced of Sun Xiaofei. In fact, he didn't know that Sun Xiaofei didn't show his fastest speed at all, and he was worried that Lemon would not be able to keep up with him, so he didn't drive the Sky Sword to fly with all his strength. Otherwise, Lemon would still be able to catch up with Sun Xiaofei's astonishing speed of flying with his sword.
The two of them came to the outside of Moonlight City, and saw a large flow of people coming in and out of the city gate in front of them, and there was a long queue, which seemed a little crowded. Seeing this situation, Sun Xiaofei was a little speechless, this kind of popularity is not lower than that of Tianji City. Tianji City is the capital of the empire, and it is normal for it to have a large flow of people, and Moonlight City is just a small affiliated principality, so it is a little surprising to be able to have such a terrifying flow of people.
Lemon showed a token to the Moonlight soldiers, who looked at it and waved them in. The identity of the Du Wei family has some privileges here, and they do not need to hand in gold coins to enter and exit the city gates like ordinary civilians to be allowed to enter.
"Where my family lives, it's not far from the front. Let's talk as we go. The two walked on the big streets of the city, and Lemon said to Sun Xiaofei with a smile.
"Good. Sun Xiaofei nodded, no opinion.
The two walked slowly towards the Dewey family's residence, and on the way, Lemon introduced some information about Moonlight City and the Dewey family to Sun Xiaofei. Sun Xiaofei listened silently, keeping in mind all the key content of interest. If you are puzzled or curious, you will ask Lemond on the spot.
Lemon's patience was very good, and he answered Sun Xiaofei in detail, making sure that Sun Xiaofei was satisfied.
Moments later, the two appeared in front of a majestic and tall building. On either side of the huge bronze door are two hideous-looking beasts. At the entrance stood two guards in green shirts, with sharp eyes and good postures, apparently severely trained.
Sun Xiaofei looked up and saw a huge plaque hanging on the bronze door, with four gilded characters written on it, Dewey Family.
"This is my home, let's go inside. Lemon greeted Sun Xiaofei and walked to the door first. Sun Xiaofei then followed.
The two guards standing at the door changed their faces when they saw Lemon, and they immediately ran respectfully to welcome them in.
