We slowed down and distanced ourselves from the Dark Moon people. Icetis raised her eyebrows and said, "The City of Sierras they mentioned is most likely the place where the expeditionary army lived. It's just as we guessed. There's something fishy about the expedition hundreds of years ago."
"Hazenwood is the former name of the City of Sierras." I nodded. "It seems that the people on the Dark Moon side still use a lot of terms from before the war. They even call their planet Reedmunn."
Joe didn't care what the terms "Hazenwood" and "Reedmunn" meant. He was not stupid. After listening to the conversation of the Dark Moon people, the first thing this elf thought of was the expeditionary army that disappeared hundreds of years ago. Other than those expeditionary army, who else on the Dark Moon would want to cross the Heaven and Earth Bridge to "go home"?
He rubbed his hands hard. His face was 30% shocked and 30% surprised, but the rest was all helplessness, "What … what should we do? Could they be talking about the expeditionary army? Those expeditionary army really didn't die? No, no … I can't be sure yet … But the name City of Sierras really sounds like it was given by the expeditionary army. The Dark Moon people shouldn't give their city such a name … Could it be that mother is still alive? Are we going to the City of Sierras with those people? Can we sneak in? If we appear in front of them with our current appearance, will there be trouble? We can't be sure that the Dark Moon people are talking about the expeditionary army and their descendants, right? "
I glanced at him. I knew that this elf who was quite calm before was a little confused now. But it was also human nature: General Angelie, the commander of the expeditionary army who disappeared hundreds of years ago, was Joe's biological mother. With the lifespan of the elves, General Angelie was most likely still alive now. Nothing could make a son more helpless than this.
I waved my hand to calm Joe down. Then, I looked at Lin Xue, "Is it okay to have direct contact with those Dark Moon people?"
"It's best to disguise yourself a little," the missy said as she took out a few small boxes from her dimensional pocket and handed them to the three iron knights, "Put these on, it will allow you to disguise as the Dark Moon people. You may not be used to it at first, but it will be fine after a while."
Joseph and the others clumsily opened the packaging on the small boxes and asked curiously, "Disguise as Dark Moon Dwellers? Is this a magic item made by a Conjurer? "
Lin Xue curled her lips. "Magic my ass. These are cosmetic contact lenses, specially made by the City of Shadows for comfort. I'll tell you how to put them on your eyes later. By the way, Joe, use the red one. You're going to disguise yourself as a Night Elf. Don't worry about the color of your skin — you're not that white anyway. "
"Mei … Tong?" Joe repeated the unfamiliar word awkwardly. Then, he glanced at us and pointed at us in shock. He stuttered, "Hey, how did you …"
Our eyes had already turned gold. When I saw Joe's reaction, I took off the disguise and explained to him, "It's just a disguise spell. However, it won't work well on you guys. It's better to wear that thing to be safe."
The three Iron Knights didn't understand either. However, there was one good thing about people from the feudal era. They were very good at dealing with things that they didn't understand. The three of them explained what was happening in front of them as' the magical power of a Conjurer '. After filling in the blanks, they didn't have any more questions. Lin Xue guided the three of them on how to put on the cosmetic contact lenses. In the end, she realized that Anna was the fastest learner. Women were indeed talented in specific fields. Even the naive ones were no exception. Even Shallow Shallow could learn how to dress herself without a teacher.
I glanced at Icetis. The blood-eyed goddess had now turned gold like the others. I couldn't help but suggest, "Actually, you don't need to change the color of your eyes. Just make your skin darker and your ears sharper. How much better would it be to disguise yourself as a Night Elf …"
Due to the origin of the Dark Protoss, their appearance and temperament were similar to that of Elves. That was why I suggested that. In the end, Icetis swung her neck and said, "Bad idea. I'm most proud of my face being whiter than Sandora. Do you know that the Dark Protoss doesn't like to tan?"
I was stunned. I thought to myself that this group of people really didn't deserve the title of 'Dark Protoss'. They actually didn't like to tan! However, I felt relieved after thinking about it. Didn't I have a canine at home that mingled with cats? It had been a long time since a normal creature appeared around me …
Once everyone took off the disguise coating, their characteristics were similar to the Dark Moon Dwellers. Actually, the people on the ground and many races on the Dark Moon looked almost the same. In addition, there wasn't much difference in the way they dressed. It was just like what Lin Xue said. Wearing cosmetic contact lenses was considered as a disguise. It was easy for us to disguise ourselves. If we had to say that there was a big difference, it would be beasts, monsters, mountain barbarians and other creatures that stood out in a crowd of humans. If Blockhead had followed us, he would have been able to pretend to be a mountain barbarian.
Speaking of Blockhead, I didn't know how he was doing now. We left without saying goodbye. Now that I thought about it, it was quite embarrassing.
"Brother, do you think the color of my eyes is correct?" Visca suddenly tugged on my sleeve and shouted. I looked down. The left side of the little girl's eyes were golden while the right side was blood red. It looked like something out of a horror movie.
I pointed out the mistake to her. Visca blinked obediently and asked, "What about this time?"
She had improved. Now, the left side was blood red while the right side was golden. She had never recovered after torturing her eyes into that strange appearance. Now, it seemed that this pair of eyes was the only feature that Visca couldn't control. I looked at the two little ones who were 1.2 meters tall in front of me and suddenly had an idea. So, I started to discuss with them …
After the discussion, I gently patted Pandora and Visca's heads. After two soft sounds, a pair of spirited cat ears popped out from their heads. Pandora's ears were white while Visca's ears were black …
Lin Xue jumped back more than two meters exaggeratedly. She looked at me with a meaningful gaze and said, "You pervert!"
I wasn't angry at all. As I checked to see if the tails on their backs were normal, I said casually, "I've raised a nine-tailed fox spirit for a few years. I'm no longer the guy who could be easily touched by a cute girl …"
Lin Xue looked like she couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She came over with Shallow Shallow and pinched Pandora and Visca's newly grown ears and tails. Shallow Shallow even tried to tie their tails together. Soon, the two little ones were tossed around like two stray cats. Weska resisted for a long time, and even after Lin Xue and Qian Qian left, he still had an angry expression on his face. Pandora, on the other hand, was as cold as ever, but the cat ears on her head were shaking vigorously.
I squatted between them happily and stroked their heads to calm them down. It was just a spur of the moment idea to let the two little ones disguise as' Monsters'. In the end, I suddenly realized that the two little ones really had the talent to be cats. Pandora already knew how to shake her ears while Visca was trying her best to curl her tail into a circle. The two sisters were having a lot of fun playing with each other.
Our group had been delayed for a long time. The few Dark Moon citizens had already disappeared in the thick fog. However, this was also our goal. Now that the disguise was done, Icetis casually removed the halo that was used to conceal our presence and figure. I stuffed Jingle into my pocket and fastened the button before leading the group to rush towards the aura of the few Dark Moon citizens. After a short while, the other party's figures appeared in the distant fog. The ears of Monsters should be more sensitive than other races. I saw three Monsters in the group in front of us twitch their ears at the same time. They were the first to stop. After that, the others also stopped and turned around, stretching their necks to look in our direction. The fog was too thick and they might not be able to see who it was.
Realizing that they were about to come into direct contact with the Dark Moon citizens, the three Iron Knights simultaneously tightened their bodies and subconsciously became nervous. The education that they had been imbued with since young had made them instinctively wary of the Dark Moon citizens. Even though it was obviously a group of commoners in front of them, they were still a little nervous. However, this nervousness soon passed and their expressions relaxed. They followed us forward as though they were a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
After we got closer, the other party finally saw our appearance clearly. As expected, they did not have any suspicions or curiosity towards the group of strangers in front of them. Instead, they nodded and greeted us normally. The tall and skinny Elf even started chatting with us, "Heh, it's really not easy to meet someone in the wilderness … You guys look unfamiliar. You aren't from around here, right?"
"We are from somewhere else." I made up a story. After all, strangers that we met on the road would not care about what the other party was talking about. This was the reason why no one would call the police as long as you did not say that you were a Martian. "Are you guys heading to the surface?"
I could use what I had just heard on the spot. This was the beauty of having the ability to peep and eavesdrop. At the very least, when I was chatting with someone, I would not have to worry about being exposed even if I did not say that I was a Martian.
"If we are heading in this direction, we will definitely be heading to the teleportation station of the surface. Speaking of which, are you guys heading there as well?" The male Night Elf looked at our group and realized that we were a multi-ethnic group just like them. A smile instantly appeared on his face. "Oh, forming a group to visit relatives?"
I chuckled and introduced everyone's names. In the end, when I mentioned the two sisters, Pandora and Visca, I could not hold it in anymore. I patted the two little girls' heads and introduced them, "These two are my adopted sisters. The white-eared one is Pandora and the black-eared one is Meow Skar …" Actually, I had wanted to change Pandora's name, but it would be too awkward to call her that.
Lin Xue forcefully patted her own head. I could tell that this missy was really putting in a lot of effort to stifle her laughter. Visca, on the other hand, didn't think that there was anything wrong with it. She happily accepted the new name that her brother had given her and even waved at the others, "Meow."
My HP bar was instantly emptied …
"You flatter me." The Night Elf chuckled and nodded. Even though he had a frightening racial name, he looked just like an honest fellow that you would meet on the way, giving off a sense of familiarity. This once again reinforced our doubts about the concept of a 'Dark Moon Demon'.
The small group of people in front of us were ordinary, friendly and amiable. Furthermore, based on their conversation just now, these people knew about the Earth-Moon War. However, they did not have any hostility towards the people of the surface. It was obvious that the ones who invaded the surface weren't the orthodox citizens of the Dark Moon.
Then, who was the one who invaded the surface every time? What was the Dark Moon Lord planning to do when he led his army to be stabbed by that blade?
We temporarily put these doubts aside and offered to travel together with them. They happily accepted. It was obvious that the locals were happy to have a few more companions on the journey. However, the few of them didn't like to talk. After greeting each other, only the dog-tailed girl who looked like a popcorn bean and the tall and skinny Night Elf chatted with us. They also introduced themselves. However, I was too lazy to remember a bunch of names. Considering that we weren't familiar with this place and people, we didn't know what to say. So, we could only remain silent.
Just like that, the two groups of people chatted idly. It was all meaningless gossip. Joseph and the other two deliberately walked at the back. Every step they took was filled with the vigor of facing death unflinchingly and treading on thin ice. I couldn't help but fall back a few steps and poked Joseph's waist. "Is there a need to be so serious? It's like you're attending a memorial service. "
Joseph blinked and carefully looked at the few citizens of the Dark Moon in front of him. "Damn it, I'm so nervous. If I can make it back alive, today's experience would be enough to write at least three or four memoirs."
Anna muttered softly at the side, "You should learn how to read first. You have to change your name three times after writing it once. You have to sign a report and you have to sign it on a separate page."
I said, "Actually, I'm quite curious. How did the three of you get together? Joe should be from the Elven Kingdom. Also, what's the situation with your fifteen years as an Iron Knight and your early years as a vagrant? "
The Iron Knight trio was a very unique group that had a sense of existence. I was also quite curious about them. Since I had nothing to do, I took the chance to gossip. Joseph's face showed a bit of awkwardness. Then, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Being an Iron Knight for fifteen years isn't something to be proud of. Let's not talk about it. Anna and I came from the same village. We were childhood sweethearts … "
Anna snorted but didn't say anything else.
"I was young and full of vigor. I heard a lot of stories about knights. It just so happened that it was time for the recruitment of the knights, so I foolishly went to sign up." Joseph laughed. "At that time, I always felt that I was talented and might be able to save the world. In the end, when I signed up, I found out that I wasn't old enough. I came back dejectedly and was even laughed at by Anna."
Anna pouted. "What about the details? When this idiot signed up, he heard that if he wasn't old enough, he could secretly change his age and pass. In the end, he still didn't pass. "
I didn't understand. "Why?"
"… After he changed his age, he turned around and looked for the previous examiner. The examiner still remembered him."
"…"
"In short, I didn't pass the first time I joined the army." Joseph coughed dryly. "But after seeing how awe-inspiring the soldiers were, I couldn't stay at home anymore. I thought that I should at least go to the big city to see the world. It just so happened that Anna also wanted to go to school in the city. She did go to school in the past. Although she made her teacher so angry that she had a stroke, she was forced to quit. So, I went to the capital with Anna. That's where we met Joe. At that time, he wasn't as glamorous as he is now. Back then, he wandered around the city like a vagrant, asking everywhere how to sign up for the army. With one look, I could tell that he was a guy who hadn't seen the world. In the end, he was blackmailed by a group of hoodlums. It was me who bravely helped him … "
Joe listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but say, "Can't you be a little more shameless? You bravely helped him, but within five seconds, you were beaten to the ground by four people. In the end, I was the one who saved you. "
Joseph scratched his hairy face. "More or less. At least for the first five seconds, I was bravely helping him, right? At most, it was an attempt at bravery. Speaking of which, who knew that you were so strong? You've been trained since you were born. If I knew that you came from a family of generals, who would still want to get beaten up? "Then, Joseph turned to me." Anyway, that's it. The three of us got together. Didn't Anna make the teacher so angry that he had a stroke (at this time, Anna kicked him hard)? When I saw that she couldn't go back to school, I thought that we would be laughed at if we returned to our hometown. So, the three of us decided to become mercenaries for a while. We even gave the army a name. We called it 'Knights'. "
"What a stupid name." Anna and Joe muttered together.
"Hehe, now that I think about it, it's really stupid." Joseph didn't refute, but his face still had a yearning expression. "But being a knight has always been my dream. To be a tall and strong horse, to fight against the strong and help the weak. Anna is a princess, and I am a knight. How great would that be? But when I became a knight, I realized that it wasn't like that. Anna can fight better than me, and there aren't many opportunities to be a hero. There are hundreds of thousands of knights, and the Iron Knights are high ranking soldiers …"
At the end, he let out a long sigh. "But I really want to be a knight like those in novels …"
Anna blushed and rolled her eyes at him. Maybe the words "knight and princess" just now had angered this sister's maiden heart. Bryndis, on the other side, suddenly interrupted at this time, "If you want to be a knight, it's not just about heroism and the desire to be cool."
"I know," Joseph nodded. "I can recite the knight's code backwards, and I'm not afraid of death. As long as there's something I can do, I've never retreated. But … being a soldier isn't the kind of knight life I want. So, now that I've left the Knights with Joe, it's much easier. The three of us might be expelled from the Knights, but I think we should be knights by ourselves, not by titles. "
Anna sighed. "Anyway, this hot-blooded idiot will never be able to let go of his dream of being a knight. He doesn't even know that the era in the novels has long passed … Sigh, he can daydream as long as he wants. I'll keep him company."
Icetis quietly looked at the three of them who had lost their titles, but were more like knights than anyone else. Suddenly, she said something that no one could understand, "If you're still a knight until the day you die, I'll confer a title on you."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Joseph scratched his head in confusion. "Cursemancers really don't understand what they say. Fortunately, I don't know magic."
I half-heartedly said a few words, turned around and chased after Icetis. I casually said through the spiritual connection, "Conferring the title of God's servant just like that, don't you think it's too hasty?"
"If a mortal can abide by all kinds of good deeds until the day they die, why can't they be on the same level as God?"
"That'll have to wait until they become your believers."
"There aren't that many rules." Icetis shrugged. "If God does good deeds, there will naturally be people who believe in him. If he does evil deeds, there will naturally be no believers. They can join me first, and then they can voluntarily pay for it. I'm a goddess, not a multi-level marketer. I won't force anything."
"… …"
Alright, as expected of Bryndis. Her style of doing things is so casual. This is the first time I've heard of something as serious as going to heaven being able to get on the boat first before paying the ticket. Should I say that this female pervert is really confident?
