Chapter 321: Chapter 302: Entering Moria City
In a building located halfway up the mountain in Moria Inner City, a figure stood on the balcony, overlooking Moria City below, with a look full of loneliness.
Suddenly, the door behind opened, and a seductive woman walked in, saying:
"Clan Leader, the matter has been investigated clearly."
A cool voice came from that graceful figure on the balcony:
"Who?"
As the seductive woman hesitated about whether to speak...
An incomparably authoritative voice suddenly came from the front, saying:
"Speak!"
The seductive woman trembled at the words and hurriedly spoke:
"It’s the Great Elder."
After speaking, the seductive woman stood there with her head bowed, not daring to breathe heavily.
Just then, a sigh came from the front:
"Go down and don’t tell anyone about this matter for now."
"Yes!"
The seductive woman retreated as if she had been pardoned.
......
"Look, the small island ahead is Kenterri Island, and Moria City is on this island."
On the third-level deck of the airship, Sumiya pointed to the lush island in the distance and introduced it to Lin Yi.
Regarding the Succubus Race, Lin Yi’s most profound impression was:
There are these monsters around Moria City called Magic-Ruptured Howl Lv56, resembling feral boars.
There is a certain chance to drop a rare material from it, called: Howl Needle.
When players forge level 50 weapons, adding this material can increase certain physical/magic penetration attributes, so for a time, this material was basically priceless.
And when Lin Yi was a gold farmer, he certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity to make money, farming here for over half a month.
During that half month, Lin Yi made quite a bit of money using this material.
Because of this, Lin Yi was quite familiar with this small town.
Lin Yi suddenly turned to Sumiya and asked:
"Haven’t asked why you’re going to Moria City yet?"
However, the little girl didn’t seem inclined to answer this question, giving Lin Yi a slight smile, she said:
"I’m sorry, Master Mage, I’m afraid I can’t answer your question."
At this time, Lin Yi realized he was a bit abrupt, and chuckled:
"It’s okay, I was just asking casually."
Not long after, the airship slowly docked at the airship port outside Moria City. A dwarf stood on the platform shouting:
"Moria City has arrived, those getting off, hurry and get off."
"The airship will only stay here for ten minutes."
Watching the endless stream of ’people’ disembarking from the airship cabin, Lin Yi’s heart was filled with complicated emotions.
"Master Mage, we should go."
Sumiya suddenly said to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded and headed towards the stairway, saying:
"Let’s go."
The Golden Behemoth remained closely behind Lin Yi, often attracting many curious glances because of it.
As for the Jade Qilin, at Lin Yi’s request, it shrank to fist-size and hid in Behemoth’s fur.
This was also to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Otherwise, with the status of the Jade Qilin as the King of Holy Beasts here, it would be hard not to attract attention.
Lin Yi certainly didn’t want to become the target of public scrutiny rashly.
Then, as Lin Yi got off the airship, the girl in the blue long dress from earlier suddenly appeared at the passageway, seemingly waiting for someone.
Lin Yi glanced at the empty place behind him, seeing that the girl in the blue dress was looking at him, Lin Yi, somewhat surprised, pointed at himself:
"Are you waiting for me?"
At this moment, Sumiya suddenly said goodbye to Lin Yi:
"Master Mage, thank you again for your help previously."
"But I have urgent affairs to handle now, so I can’t accompany you any longer. Next time, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely show you around Moria City."
Hearing this, Lin Yi chuckled and said:
"There will definitely be a chance."
Then waved at the girl:
"Hope everything goes well for you."
"Hmm!"
Sumiya also waved to Lin Yi:
"Goodbye, esteemed Master Mage."
Watching Sumiya run off, Lin Yi then looked at the girl in the blue dress who had been staring at him:
"Is there something you need?"
The girl in the blue dress glanced at the Golden Behemoth behind Lin Yi and said:
"No problem."
Then she just walked away, leaving only her back to Lin Yi.
"This~"
Lin Yi opened his mouth:
"Are you playing with me?"
Perhaps she was just curious about the Golden Behemoth. With that thought, Lin Yi didn’t think too much, directly heading towards Moria City.
Compared to the Moria City in his memory, at this moment, Moria City could only be described as ’desolate.’
From Lin Yi’s limited memory, each time he had come to Moria City, it was always crowded, bustling with people.
But now, the entire street was sparsely populated, with just a few people in groups of threes and fives arguing about something.
As Lin Yi got closer, he heard a deer-antlered person crying and saying:
"My child is only a teenager!"
"How could they be so heartless to use such a young life for such brutal acts!"
As she said this, Lin Yi saw she was already crying uncontrollably.
A Bick person with a pointy head angrily said:
"How is this different from the Demon Race’s actions? I am ashamed to belong to the Hundred Races with them; it’s a disgrace!"
People around them, blushing and angry, echoed:
"Yes, this time we must not only have them hand over the culprits and masterminds, but also remove them from the Hundred Races."
"I suggest we drive them to the Western Continent, let them survive with those demons!"
As soon as this person spoke, a chorus of agreement sounded around.
As Lin Yi walked along, basically all he heard were such intense discussions, seemingly indicating that this time the actions of the Succubus Race truly crossed the bottom line of these races.
Otherwise, even the deer-antlered people, known for their kindness, wouldn’t stand up to denounce the Succubus Race.
When Lin Yi reached the center of Moria City, at a large square, he looked at the statue in the center, which had been smashed by someone, feeling a mixture of emotions and a chill in his heart.
If Lin Yi guessed correctly, that statue should have been for the Clan Leader Sharon Zimmerman of the Succubus Race, who led them to Flying Snow Peak to participate in the anti-demon war, along with the previous Holy Beast Golden-Horned Winged Lion of the Succubus Race.
While Lin Yi was gazing at the broken statue in a trance, a voice suddenly came from beside him:
"Is it true that once a person makes a mistake, everything they ever did becomes worthless?"
Lin Yi turned to see a woman with full black hair in cheap burlap clothes, suddenly appearing beside him.
Following the sad look in her eyes, at the statue, smashed to pieces, Lin Yi seemed to understand yet not understand, recalling a line he once saw, he said:
"Sometimes mistakes aren’t scary; what’s scarier than making mistakes is making them repeatedly."
The woman suddenly turned to Lin Yi, asking:
"If the one making the mistake was your only family member, would you choose to expose her, or stand against the world for her?"
