Let's Talk, Old Niu

This is a magical world.

This world has battle qi and magic, as well as many inexplicable yet powerful forces.

This world has elves and dwarves, as well as countless strange yet incredibly interesting races.

This world has only one sun, but it has as many as [number] moons.

The Pure White Moon, representing new life.

The Azure Moon, representing harvest.

The Crimson Moon, representing death.

The three moons, for the vast majority of the year, appear in the sky alternately, bringing all sorts of expectations to the creatures of this world.

Of course, the three moons also have times when they meet. Every year, there is a specific period when the three moons appear in the sky simultaneously. The White Moon, Blue Moon, and Red Moon shine together, which is also one of the most famous sights in this world.

The simultaneous appearance of the three moons is more than just a beautiful sight. The gravitational pull of the three moons acting on this world simultaneously causes great changes. For example, the irregular surges of various magical power laws that envelop this world. Such changes are called Moon Tide.

The Moon Tide does not last long. In this world, which has [number] months in a year, the Moon Tide lasts only about [number] months.

During this period, due to the irregular surges of various peculiar power laws, creatures that already have a close relationship with these power laws also become extremely unstable.

Some creatures become violent, some have their powers suppressed, and others enter a period of rapid strength increase. Of course, this rapid strength increase is not a good thing. The power laws become irregular, and the creatures' improvement is also in an unstable state. In this state, an accident can happen if one is not careful.

Therefore, the Moon Tide is not a good thing for most creatures.

This situation not only occurs in the Surface World but also in the Underworld, separated by thick layers of earth.

However, this influence is not obvious in Landen's barren territory. There are only a few types of creatures, and they are not greatly affected by the Moon Tide. Except for the Rock Lizards adding more semi-cooled magma to their food, there are almost no other changes.

However, just because it doesn't affect Landen doesn't mean it doesn't affect others. For example, Landen's "dear" Second Sister, Vivian, chose to deploy her troops during the Moon Tide precisely because of this consideration.

Landen's territory, the Yumaas Region, is elongated due to the Blackwater River. Only a corner of this elongated area is actually located between two cities that are likely to go to war. This corner not only has extremely poor terrain but is also very far from the bunker. Normal travel takes more than ten days.

However, even so, Vivian still chose to visit the bunker. This was undoubtedly a considerable detour. In war, such a meaningless detour can be considered foolish because it greatly increases the chance of the team being exposed to the enemy's sight.

In the Underworld, outright wars between two sides are almost non-existent. Assassination, surprise attacks, sowing discord... these are the rules of the Underworld.

So, even if Vivian deploys troops, it will definitely not be an open and aboveboard action. Yet, she still chose to take a detour, which made Landen suspect that her supposed deployment to Morata City was a pretense, and coming to Landen was her real objective.

What is she doing here? Of course, it's to make her good brother Landen disappear from this world permanently.

In fact, she has already done so before even arriving.

Janie was one instance, and the time Landen almost died after drinking Corona Ginger Juice was another. Ever since Landen broke free from Matriarch Isis's protection, Vivian's actions have become increasingly arrogant. After enduring for so many years, she is becoming more and more desperate to kill Landen.

And these are the fundamental reasons why Landen truly decided to take risks and do so many things in such a short period.

To become a true lord, the most important and basic thing is to survive!

"Whoohoo~ Finally, I'm starting to look like a lord." Landen leaned back in his revolving chair, looking outside through the small window that resembled a lookout post.

The Underworld was still dark, but by the faint scattered lights and his infrared vision, Landen could clearly see that the entire Hobgoblin was on a flat ground not far from the bunker. After days of effort, they had all been equipped with Rock Lizards, and at this moment, they were "fighting" with those Rock Lizards.

To become a knight, the first step is to build a good relationship with your mount. Moreover, they were not facing tamed horses, but Rock Lizards that had only undergone simple training by the Minotaur Butler and were still full of wildness.

This was Landen's order. He did not have the Minotaur Butler completely tame these Rock Lizards but left this step to the Hobgoblins. Only through personal taming could the knight and mount achieve better integration. This is very important for a knight.

Most of the Hobgoblins were still struggling to climb onto the backs of the Rock Lizards. A very small number of Hobgoblins, including two Hobgoblins with Black Iron strength, had already successfully sat on the backs of the Rock Lizards and were controlling the Rock Lizards to move according to the tutorial Landen provided.

Not far from them, Hogg was lying on the back of a Vulture Turtle, yawning. Occasionally, as if to relieve boredom, she would throw a small stone, which accurately hit a Hobgoblin trying to slack off. Under her supervision, no Hobgoblin dared to be lazy.

"There's less than a day left. Whether I can rise to prominence then depends on you all." Landen sighed softly, then chuckled wryly. Anyone who heard someone say they were placing their hopes on a group of Hobgoblins would probably burst out laughing.

The stone door was silently pushed open, and a jade arm gently wrapped around Landen's neck. At the same time, a seductive and sweet voice sounded in his ear, "Little brother, are you looking for your sister?"

"I need your help with something, Sister." Landen forced a helpless wry smile, but his head leaned back honestly. Of course, he didn't lean on anything, and the smooth jade arm was also withdrawn.

After spending a few days together, Landen realized that this beautiful Naga was not as... casual as he had imagined. Of course, Landen really wanted to find out what would happen if she were casual...

The Minotaur Butler was busy processing ingredients for dinner. As both a butler and the personal chef for the Lord, this was his daily routine.

Footsteps sounded from behind. The Minotaur Butler turned around in surprise and saw Landen.

The Lord, with a warm smile on his face, spoke first.

"Let's talk, Old Niu."
