Hearing Liu Xiao ask this question, Brandy looked at him slightly surprised.
"Don't you know, Boss Liu? The red moon rises every July and January in the Cursed Land, and those strange beasts hiding in the dark will become ferocious and mutate, attacking all living things they see?"
"Why is there still such a thing? July...isn't that coming soon?"
Liu Xiao's eyes widened and he subconsciously looked at Rosa sitting next to him.
The latter also frowned his beautiful eyebrows, leaned next to him and whispered softly: "Master, because the camp is busy every day, everyone seems to have forgotten about the red moon...
Mr. Bai is right. The red moon rises in the Cursed Land every July and January. Those evil beasts that usually only appear at night will produce a terrifying mutation!
That makes them extremely aggressive during the day! However, on the other hand, hunting those evil beasts during the red moon phase will result in the red magic crystals condensed in their bodies!
That kind of magic crystal is quite valuable. It can be used as a magic prop for magicians, a forging material for great blacksmiths, and an enchantment carrier for blessing masters.
You see that the reason why there are so many adventure teams gathering on the streets of the ruined castle is probably because they are all here for the Red Moon. All the adventure teams want to enter the cursed land this month to hunt evil beasts and earn huge rewards.
.
Of course, the danger is relative. Every year when the red moon rises, countless adventurers and mercenaries die in the cursed land. I didn’t expect that July is coming soon... our camp..."
Rosa said there was no need to continue here. The jungle orcs had their own way of avoiding the tide of red moon beasts, which was to accumulate enough food and hide in sealed caves.
Liu Xiao touched his chin and frowned.
The red moon rises, evil beasts mutate, and they appear during the day? Hiss...this is really a problem! Those guys in Abu are also dizzy. Why didn't they tell me such important information in advance?
But Liu Xiao soon felt relieved when he thought of this. Yes, the reason why the place they lived in was called the "cursed place" couldn't be just as simple as an evil beast going out to attack passers-by at night. There must be something else.
An even more terrifying phenomenon.
However, aborigines like Abu and others are familiar with the "Red Moon" and the "tide of beasts", and they must have their own ways to avoid it, so they do not deliberately treat it as a thing.
In addition, these guys are immersed in the working atmosphere of 996 and cannot care about other things. There are excusable circumstances, there are excusable circumstances...
Seeing that Liu Xiao's expression quickly returned to normal, Brandy did not ask any more questions, but introduced: "Boss Liu, don't worry about the tide of Red Moon Beasts. If you are still worried by then, you can take your people into the ruined castle.
Escape for a few days.
The city lord here has some friendship with me. Although he is a bit arrogant and has some strange habits, there is no doubt that he is powerful in the abandoned castle.
His 'Scar Mercenary Group' is entrenched here and has been guarding the southern border for the Kingdom of Orange for four years. In the past four years, any Red Moon Beast Tide has not been able to break through the obstruction of the abandoned fort. You can definitely
rest assured."
Liu Xiao nodded and said: "Old Bai, I remember your kindness~! But I really want to see what the red moon is and what the beast tide is~!
To tell you the truth, I am training my employees so that they have certain self-protection and combat capabilities~! I think this Red Moon Beast Tide is a good test opportunity!
If my Chamber of Commerce employees cannot gain a foothold in the cursed land and protect their ideals and wealth, it means that our minds are not firm enough! Our training is not adequate! We are not qualified to get out of the cursed land!"
"oh?"
Brandy's eyes narrowed and she looked at Liu Xiao calmly.
It seems that Boss Liu has big plans and ambitions! He wants his business to gain a foothold in the cursed land, which is by no means an easy task!
Even their Black Rock Chamber of Commerce only sells some goods on the move and purchases some magic crystals, and does not have a permanent office at all.
As several people said this, the carriage slowly stopped, and a knight stopped beside the carriage and said in a respectful tone: "Lord Brandy, we have arrived."
Brandy smiled, stretched out her hand to open the carriage door, and made a "please" gesture.
"Boss Liu, please, we have arrived at the branch of the Black Rock Chamber of Commerce in the Abandoned Fort. Mr. West is waiting here."
Liu Xiao put away his thoughts and got out of the carriage.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw a three-story stone building in front of him with a simple and elegant appearance.
Liu Xiao secretly thought, "Is this the headquarters of the Black Rock Chamber of Commerce in the abandoned fort? It doesn't look as luxurious as expected."
When everyone got off the carriage and prepared to enter the Black Rock Chamber of Commerce in the abandoned castle, Liu Xiao saw many citizens and adventurers in the distance looking towards him from a distance, but they did not dare to approach.
People were whispering and speculating on the man's identity, but the ten golden knights of the Orange Capital were like an invisible barrier that isolated the crowd dozens of meters away, so there was no need for anyone to maintain order.
Liu Xiao walked into the branch of the Black Rock Chamber of Commerce under the guidance of Brandi.
There are many people working in this stone building. Everyone is holding some strange counting instruments similar to abacus, and the dials are making a "crackling" sound. Some people are hurriedly holding some boxes, which seem to be full.
heavy cargo.
Although the voices of everyone talking were deliberately lowered, when dozens of people were talking together in this hall, even if the voices were lowered, they would still make a "buzzing" sound like a bathhouse.
When these Black Rock Chamber of Commerce staff members saw Brandy, they would stop whatever they were doing and bow their heads aside to salute.
It seems that the identity of this old white man is not simple! In the past, I only thought that he was a shopkeeper in the Chamber of Commerce, but now it seems that he is also likely to hold some important position in the Orange official family.
Brandy led Liu Xiao through the hall and up a rotating stone staircase to the second floor.
There are far fewer people here, with only a few fully armed knights guarding the door.
In front of a heavy bronze double door, Brandy signaled the two guards to push the door open, bowed and said: "Boss Liu, please come inside."
Liu Xiao stepped in with one step, and his eyes suddenly blurred.
From the outside, this room seemed to be only about thirty square meters, but when he stepped in, everything suddenly changed! Looking closely, he was already in a vast ocean of stars and a vast universe where he couldn't tell the up, down, left, and right!
Liu Xiao was surprised and hurriedly looked behind him. He saw Brandy, Rosa, and Arthur standing in the empty starry sky.
Seeing Liu Xiao's questioning gaze, Brandy explained with a smile: "This is Mr. West's starry sky transfer magic array. He used this teleportation array to descend on the abandoned castle in the Orange Capital. Boss Liu
Don’t worry. Conversations here are absolutely confidential and safe! Mr. West, our distinguished guest has arrived, please show up.”
Brandy's voice floated in the empty starry sky. After a while, several of the bright stars began to flip and merge. After absorbing more starlight, the shining stars suddenly formed a figure wearing a robe.
"Hehehehe~~~"
A burst of deep and generous laughter came, and the figure gradually became like a real thing.
"Hello, dear guest, West, the chief court magician of the Capital City of Orange, is pleased to meet you."
The words fell and the figure appeared.
West was dressed in a complex white robe inlaid with gold threads, a crown of shining golden feathers on his head, with a gray beard and drooping eyebrows, looking as kind as an old birthday star.
Liu Xiao's expression did not change, he bowed his hands and said, "I have admired you for a long time~! I am Liu Xiao, and I am very honored to have Mr. West cast blessing magic on me."
Liu Xiao was polite on his lips, but in his heart he spat with great disdain.
