Arrive at the Adventurer's Guild in the lower town.
"Boss Su, we're here." Yan Hu stood up and called out when he saw Su Xi appear at the door.
An Adventurer's Guild staff member immediately went over and reprimanded them. "Please do not make loud noises in the Adventurer's Guild! Moreover, as Her Highness the Saintess's attendants, you must abide by the rules! You cannot address Her Highness by her name casually! You are now the noble Elf race, representing the Elf race in your words and deeds. Please do not bring your human bad habits here!"
Su Xi: "..."
Yan Hu: "..."
Other players. "..."
The staff member from the Adventurer's Guild turned to Su Xi and smiled, "Welcome, Your Highness. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Su Xi was a little embarrassed; this NPC was a bit too conspicuous, and she almost couldn't help but punch him in the face.
"My entourage and I are about to go out on a mission, so we don't need your help."
The staff member showed obvious regret on his face, bowed, and left.
Moon Shadow City is located in the southwest of the Elven Empire, near another human empire, the Saint Ace Empire.
Of course, while it's said to be close, getting from Moon Shadow City to the Saint Ace Empire actually requires traversing a long forest area, since the two are separated by Endless Forest.
The overall style of Moon Shadow City is different from that of Bannory.
The elves here have dark, grayish skin, and the magic they use is mostly curses and dark magic, similar to the Northern Witch Alliance.
The architectural style and the plants planted are also on the darker side.
Unlike the Bannory Elf race who love sunshine and flowers.
As soon as Su Xi entered the city, she felt that the surrounding light had become noticeably darker, which was a change in light caused by an excess of dark elements.
Besides the dimming light, Su Xi also sensed a chaotic and volatile atmosphere in the city.
If Bannory is like a warm, clean, and beautiful metropolis, then Moon Shadow City at this moment is like a dark, disorderly, and chaotic street.
Su Xi sensed that the elves she encountered along the way seemed to be suppressing their emotions, their faces looking somewhat ferocious.
"How much is a Moonlight Flower?" An elf wearing a black hood squatted down at the stall next to Su Xi, picked up a flower that emitted a soft white light, and asked.
The stall owner glanced at him and snorted, "Ten Gold Coin a flower."
"Hehe, ten Gold Coin for one flower? With these ten Gold Coin, I could make a whole golden flower!"
The stall owner rolled his eyes and said, "Look, there aren't any Moonlight Flower left now. These are all flowers from cultivation containers! Take it or leave it!"
The hooded elf gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and said in an unsteady voice, "Give me one."
The stall owner snorted and took a Moonlight Flower out of the incubator.
Ten Gold Coin!
The hooded elf didn't take it, swallowed hard, and asked nervously, "Is this flower real?"
"I'm out here selling flowers, why would I sell you fake flowers?!"
"I'm asking you, are you sure these flowers are genuine!" the hooded elf's voice rose, as if to bolster her courage.
"You son of a bitch, are you here to cause trouble?"
Before the stall owner could finish speaking, a blinding light shone from the black robe.
"Bite."
The sound of metal objects clashing.
"Hey, you son of a bitch, I knew something was off about you." The stall owner deflected the flying dagger with lightning speed, then kicked the other man to the ground, and they began to fight.
This farce seemed to have set the tone for the "right way" in Moon Shadow City, with fights breaking out in the streets one after another.
Su Xi and Yan Hu's group fell silent. The Elf race Filter they had just obtained from the Adventurer's Guild NPC was now shattered on the ground.
If these NPCs hadn't known that Su Xi was the Elf Saintess, they probably would have fought her too.
Su Xi sighed. When she saw the mission description before, she thought it was an exaggeration, but she didn't expect that the situation would be even worse than described.
The only people on this street who weren't fighting were the ones who weren't moving.
Su Xi hurriedly went to the administration office and met with the city lord of Moon Shadow City to learn about the situation in Moon Shadow City.
The city lord also seemed to be affected by the red moon, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Your Highness, I was unaware of your arrival and have failed to greet you properly. I have also shown you the shameful side of Moon Shadow City. Alas," the city lord sighed.
"It's alright, let's discuss how to resolve this as soon as possible."
After discussing with the city lord, the city lord invited people from the Elemental Association to come and assist Su Xi in investigating the cause of the abnormal magic in the city.
Faced with this matter that required decryption, Su Xi simply let Yan Hu and the others handle it.
Anyway, they have a think tank behind them, the help of the Elemental Association, and their experience in handling real cases, so finding the source of the magical anomaly should be quite simple.
Taking advantage of her free time, Su Xi bought some food from the Elemental Sprite and brought it into her Portable World.
With a garden of Hundred Flower Garden and lush trees in the space, the Elemental Sprite certainly won't starve.
But no matter what, they are now considered Su Xi's employees, and they manage the Portable World.
How can I, as their leader, ignore them?
Su Xi went in to connect with the Elemental Sprite and harvest some ripe, rare fruits.
Now that there was no shortage of Gold Coin, Su Xi didn't take the fruit away. Instead, she placed it in the house on the Verdant Tree, so that the Elemental Sprite could take it whenever they wanted.
It wasn't until an hour and a half later, when Su Xi received a private chat from Yan Hu, that she exited her Portable World and arrived at the Moonlight Flower outside the city.
The Moonlight Flower, which should have been blooming with a pure white color, were now all red, which looked rather eerie.
"Is this mission a dungeon?"
Su Xi never expected that this group of guys would uncover a dungeon while investigating the anomaly in magic.
"Yes, if it weren't for Her Highness the Saintess's entourage, I wouldn't have thought it would be so easy to find the anomaly in the magic," said the president of the Elemental Association.
Su Xi nodded. After all, he was a player; he had a rich imagination and excellent hands-on skills.
Then look at this instance node located in the center of the flower field.
The Wrath Moon
Type: Permanent Dungeon
Description: Someone infused the power of the [Wrathful] god into the poor Moonlight Flower, causing it to mutate and imprisoning it in another dimension. Through the magic emanating from it, the flowers corrupted the people of the entire city.
Instance warning: Be careful, they're very aggressive right now!
Permanent instance?
It seems this dungeon can be completed repeatedly, but I wonder how much experience points you get for clearing it.
Su Xi led Yan Hu and the others into the instance space.
"Ding, temporary mission: Please clear all the Angry Moonlight Flower within one hour. You will receive an extra reward for completing the mission."
There are still temporary quest instances in the dungeon, so it seems the rewards from this dungeon should be pretty good.
