The moonlit night is the same, and the three-colored moonlight echoes each other.

Today coincides with the full moon, and the gray, green, and silver moons all look like bright disks.

The Grey and Green Moons used to hang high in the direction of the north of the canopy, while the Silver Moon was closer to the southeast.

This position will not change at most.

But tonight was an exception.

I saw that the gray and green moons were slowly moving towards the center of the sky in the same trajectory.

These two moons, which were supposed to be larger than the Silver Moon, are now even more conspicuous.

The silver moon remained in its original position, not changing its original trajectory, and the surrounding corona-like arc became a halo flickering and dimming, like a blinking eye against the deep background of night.

The natives of Naloa have long been accustomed to the long nighttime rhythm.

The March volley is no wonder for the natives, as it can be seen every Naroya Day.

So most people subconsciously ignore the changes in the night sky.

But there are always exceptions, and there is always a group of people who are keeping an eye on this familiar and unfamiliar starry sky.

On the outskirts of the eastern part of Magdam, on top of a dilapidated stargazing tower.

A rickety figure, completely shrouded in clothes, was looking at the moon in the sky through a special stargazing mirror by the toothed breastwork at the top of the tower.

These stargazing mirrors have crystal-polished concave and convex wafers inside, and are additionally blessed with some runes.

It can achieve 10x~40x visual zoom, and can also switch between inserting a wide-area chip and a special chip to observe the presence of magic.

But this stargazing mirror is very old and broken, just like this stargazing tower.

With the astral disorder after the outbreak of the Demonic Calamity.

The once popular astrology and astrological predictions have gradually come to an end.

In today's Naloa continent, there are very few stargazing towers that can continue the inheritance.

The rest of the astrologers also mostly seemed insane.

Disordered astrological observation can affect the mind after a long time.

"Uh... cough cough cough..."

"Bang..."

Maggie, an astrologer who was observing the celestial phases at this moment, suddenly retreated in horror.

He stretched out his hand to the sky, gasping and coughing like a fish on shore, and finally fell to the ground.

The manic wind blew her hood to the back of her shoulders, revealing the tousled hair of the elderly Maggie.

The stargazing tower is 100 meters high and is a cone-shaped tower with a thick bottom and thin top.

Even ordinary fog can't cover the top of the tower, but the wind surge at the top of the tower is usually more violent.

The breeze blowing from the ground was a violent gust of wind at the top of the tower.

He cowered against the stone wall behind him, his eyes never taking his eyes off the night sky.

"The twin demon moons move sideways, and the starry silver moon flashes!"

"The spark burns! The spark is about to come true! It's a disaster, it's a disaster..."

Maggie's expression was frenzied, and her mouth was muttering.

This guy is usually sponsored by Baron Bezos, and can barely maintain his daily stargazing and records.

He even took in an orphan as an astrology apprentice.

But the apprentice only stayed for a year and then ran away in a frenzy.

Therefore, in the last few hundred years of Naroa, astrology has been demeaningly called "the science of madmen".

Because learning this stuff is really going crazy!

Moreover, the astrology and astrological prediction techniques are almost dying.

It is difficult to find a complete stargazing book in the remaining stargazing towers in various places.

All an astrologer in a semi-insane state can do is observe and record.

But it is this technique that has been eliminated by the times, and now it seems to be revitalized, and the celestial phase seems to be back to normal after a period of disorder.

It's a pity that times have really changed.

Mad Maggie, who sat on the ground, muttered to herself for a while, but after all, she did not completely forget her mission.

He shuddered and pulled out a magical letterhead from his bosom.

His muddy mind made it impossible for him to concentrate.

In the end, only the words "the magic moon is triggered, the spark burns" was left on the letterhead, and it flew towards the baron's castle.

His gaze stared blankly at the sky, and two strands of dark red blood flowed from his nostrils.

His head tilted to the side, and he didn't know if he had passed out or was dead.

……

Magtan City, the third ring of the Broken Finger Block.

As one of the two major dark street forces in the city.

Severed Finger is a sizable force that can be found in many megacities and state cities in the western region of the Kingdom of Duroa.

The so-called Severed Finger Block is the main activity area of the Severed Finger Gang in the city.

Here you can see shops such as "Severed Finger Tavern", "Severed Finger Casino", "Severed Finger Moulin Rouge", etc., which are all properties of the Severed Finger Gang.

The composition of the black street forces is very simple, mainly those poor people in the city.

In addition to these common industries in the city, the Severed Finger Gang also controls various black and gray industries.

Incidentally, I do some mercenary work and find out the news.

In some ways, the Dark Street Force is the most well-informed force in a city.

You never know if a pauper passing by the side of the road is a little rat from the Dark Street forces.

Because they have eyes and ears all over the city, the channels and sources of information are complex.

It is precisely because of this that the news of the black street is in a mixed state.

Nine times out of ten it comes from rumors and hearsay, and only half of the remaining 10% is valuable and true, and the remaining half is half-truth.

Therefore, if you want to get valuable information from the black street, you need a certain ability to screen.

At this time, the Severed Finger Tavern had been completely cleared, and the scattered wine tables had been put together into a large square table.

Chen Xuan took the two Zerikan sisters and Rebecca to sit on one side.

There were more than a dozen silver-level powerhouses standing in the back, all of whom had been hired by the White Rose Caravan.

Now it's just the right time to pull the scene.

No matter where you put it, such a lineup can be considered a good one.

Directly across from them sat two grim-eyed, indifferent ones.

Franco Baghi sat in the middle of the square table, like a mediator.

Shoddy liquor was placed on the table, the doors and windows of the tavern were tightly closed, and the smell of sweat and bad breath filled the room.

At every intersection of the nearby streets, the Severed Fingers Gang of Mouse were watching.

As soon as a garrison or light rider appeared, the news would arrive in a matter of seconds.

Underground passages are located throughout the area that can be used for quick transfers.

Black Street has always been a special area in the city, and even the lord of Bangcheng can't control it.

"Hehehe..."

"Old Badge, is this what you call a distinguished guest?"

"Spent tens of thousands of kroner just to see me and the stinky mule?"

A large, scarred-haired scarred sneer from the top of the table.

He has a rugged appearance, a loud voice, and a ring tattoo on the finger of his right hand that is the same as that of Old Baggy, which is the identity mark of the Severed Finger Gang.

This guy is the leader of the Severed Fingers, Sathan Severed Fingers.

He takes the severed finger as his surname, and his progress in cultivating the magic element has reached the silver level five years ago, and he currently has a fairly high progress in the accumulation of magic essence, but there is still a considerable distance from the gold level.

Sitting next to him was a muscular man with a turban, a coarse cloth vest and shorts, with a muscular build.

His legs, in particular, are bulging like bullfrogs, and the exposed muscles are bronze-like.

This guy has a beard around his lips, squints when he looks at people, and has a large black mole on the wing of his nose.

After Sasen Severed Finger was the first to speak, he grinned and showed an intriguing smile, staring directly at Chen Xuan.

"It's rare to contact the Severed Fingers and the coolie mules at the same time."

"Rich stranger, please tell me what you want, as long as the price you offer is right, the coolie mule will naturally do its best to meet your request."

The guy whom Saxon called a stinky mule suddenly spoke.

His real name is Romeu Hada, the leader of the coolie mules of the Dark Street.

This guy's eyesight is vicious, and he can see at a glance that Chen Xuan is not a local.

Of course, this is also the reason why Chen did not deliberately cover his face.

Both sides are rough people, there is no need to talk back and forth, and getting straight to the point is the best way to talk.

Whether it's the Severed Fingers Gang or the coolie mule, the core goal is to make money.

In other words, if you have the strength, as long as you are willing to pay for it, then the Severed Fingers Gang and the coolie mules will do things for you, and this has become a business.

"I'm going to hire you all!"

"Note that everyone refers to every member of the Severed Fingers and the Coolie Mules."

"Of course, you will be paid handsomely."

Chen Xuan said concisely, stretched out his hand and brushed the table, leaving two cash boxes the size of shoeboxes.

With just a slight push, the cash box was pushed through.

Sassen Severefinger and Romeu Hada each opened a cash box, revealing the dark gold coins in it.

Each cash box contained 200,000 kroner, and that was only the first deposit.

Both the Severed Fingers and the Coolie Mules have tens of thousands of members in the city, and the cost of hiring them on a large scale must be huge.

And the forces of the dark streets are not as unbearable as they seem.

Although they are nicknamed rats by the aristocratic lords, in fact, after years of operation, these two black street forces have already accumulated strong capital and formed a series of industries.

The most important thing is that Black Street has become an ecology of its own, with a complete and independent set of system rules.

However, no matter how strong the capital is, the deposit of 400,000 kroner is enough to impress the two.

Sassen Severed Finger and Romeu Hada looked at each other tacitly.

Then he raised his hand and brought the cash box in front of him.

"Refreshing!"

"So, you... No... What do you need us to do? ”

Sasen said in a rough voice, rich is an uncle, this is an eternal truth.

And they didn't have the idea of black eating black.

Not only because Chen Xuan brought a lot of silver-level guards, but more importantly, he did business honestly, which was much faster than directly grabbing money.

Besides, the other party is so refreshing, it is clear that there is a big deal!

Chen Xuan showed a friendly smile, he put his hands in front of the table, and leaned forward slightly.

"It's just a simple escort mission."

"But it takes a lot of people."

"Don't worry, there will be a contract as a guarantee."

"I'll give you a total of up to a million crowns, but the contract signed is special."

He paused for a moment, waiting until Sassen Severed Finger and Romeu Hada looked thoughtful before continuing.

"All members of the Severed Fingers and the Coolie Mules must sign a slave contract with me, of course, for a limited time."

"My commission is not complicated, and the contract can be terminated in about three or four Naroa days."

"And there will be all kinds of restrictions clearly stipulated in the terms, and there will never be too harsh clauses."

"Both of them have to sign it too."

Chen Xuan said the conditions in a calm tone.

As soon as these words came out, a hesitant look suddenly appeared on the faces of the two black street people sitting opposite.

"Slave contract for a limited time..."

This kind of slightly excessive demand is not unheard of for them.

The vast majority of cooperation needs to be guaranteed by contract.

Occasionally, you'll come across guys who ask for a strict contract.

However, the contract is very flexible, and the binding force depends on the terms.

If the other party is willing to add money, and the terms are not too strict, then it is not necessarily unacceptable.

I saw the two of them open the magic shield and muttered to each other for a while.

It took seven or eight minutes before a decision was made.

"Slave contracts are trampling on our dignity!"

Sassen played the role of blackface, and when the shield was removed, he said in a serious manner.

"Yes, you are rich, but your dignity is priceless."

Romeu Hada acted as a compliment, nodding in agreement.

Chen Xuan smiled, took out the two cash boxes again and pushed them over.

"I can add money."

"But beware, if you're too greedy, I'd rather recruit adventurers and mercenaries on a large scale."

"Trust me, they are much cheaper than yours."

"So now, have you two decided?"

Looking at the newly pushed cash box, Sasen's and Romeu's eyes flashed with greed.

"Deal! We need to see a model of the contract..."

……

Outside the Baron's Castle, several squadrons of garrisons and archers had already surrounded the place.

Lady Zuzana Finley was asleep, and the red-haired Ursula was nowhere to be found.

Baron Bezos fidgeted and gathered his men who could be trusted.

From time to time, ravens flew in with letterheads, and letterheads shining with magical light shot through the windows like an aurora.

The Baron's forehead was sweating, and he was quickly scanning every letterhead.

Among them are reports on the crusade of the garrison outside the city, as well as news that the White Rose caravan is empty, and some are daily inquiries from the battle front of the Great City and a summary of various situations in the city.

His shoulders were bandaged, and even though he was under the protection of his hands, his expression did not relax.

People instinctively feel fear when faced with the unknown.

Chen Xuan and Ophelia had already left an indescribable shadow in his heart.

In the snowflakes of letters, the letterhead from the stargazing tower was hurriedly swept by Baron Bezos.

"The magic moon is triggered, and the spark burns."

"This damn madman is just going to make trouble for me!"

The baron, who was not in a good mood, cursed softly and left the letter behind!

……

No one has seen through the foreshadowing of the previous chapter.

In fact, the signs of cataclysm are obvious, even in the early chapters.

Ho ho ho, there are still no spoilers here, and the hooks will be unveiled in the next few chapters.
