Chapter 782

Richard had a brief chat about the Black Sorbet and suddenly thought of something and continued to ask.

“Has the promotion of the magic music box in Solan City been effective?”

Vale shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“We only have 10 Elfin Music Boxes in our hands right now. We didn’t promote them yet.

“There are too few of them. One can only use them as treasures in the auction house.”

Richard nodded. He had high hopes for this fantastic music player.

However, the research and development of this treasure wasn’t simple.

Progress did not happen.

He would have to postpone it from the looks of it.

He thought of this and recalled the words he had heard at the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.

He shook his head.

He couldn’t develop quickly.

The situation would turn upside down when the Crimson Moon rose.

He didn’t expect it to be this big, although he knew the new expansion pack would change in several ways.

The return of the ancient gods would cause the entire world to recover. That would weaken and disperse the spatial barriers between the other and the primary plane.

A large number of planes would connect to the primary plane.

In particular, a power would connect those planes that hid the spirits of the ancient gods to the primary plane at the first possible moment.

Windsor personally told him this information.

The first thing that came to Richard’s mind was Ell, which had just appeared in the desert of death.

In addition, news also spread that the desert of death would be a place where other dimensional planes would fuse in the future.

The desert of death would welcome unprecedented changes at the rise of the Crimson Moon.

One could not know the number of planes that would merge into the desert of death.

Twilight City would be the center of the storm.

The pressure was heavy.

“Lord…”

Richard’s expression turned grave, and Vale called him out softly.

Richard turned to look at the internal officer’s worried eyes and was stunned.

Vale suddenly held his chest and said in the most determined tone.

“No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side, Lord. I will protect your glory with my life and soul!”

That fixated tone made the suppressed emotions in his heart inexplicably dissipate a lot.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Most determined followers will always stay by his side regardless of future outcomes.
He was not alone on his journey.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the dark cloud-covered sky with a burning gaze.

The pressure in his heart turned into a powerful fighting spirit.

No enemy could make Twilight City bow its head.

It would never work even with gods!

“Lord…”

Vale sensed a subtle change in Richard’s aura and called out hesitantly.

Richard reached out and patted the internal officer on the shoulder. His eyes returned to their usual calmness and indifference.

“Vale, Twilight City is about to face an unprecedented wave.

“We could not know anything about the enemies we are about to face. There might even be transcendents or existences above glorious-level.”

His gaze hollowed deeper depths as he spoke.

“But nothing will shake our will to win regardless of the dangers.

“This time, Twilight City will reach the end…No one can waver us!”

Vale left the hall with high spirits a few minutes afterward.

Richard watched the internal officer’s back disappear and took a deep breath.

He had promised Windsor about the changes in the world. He couldn’t tell Vale too much.

However, this internal officer in charge of the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce was undoubtedly intelligent. He didn’t ask anything and could sense a lot and even depths with just a few words.

He shook his head and did not dwell on it.

One’s strength was still the only thing to rely on, regardless of the changes in the world.

Fortunately, his previous hard work had accumulated a decent deck of cards for Twilight City.

Richard waved his hand to dismiss the maids in the hall. He sat on a soft chair, sipped hot tea, and opened the [Forum Chat].

‘What new information could these idiots have posted with such a massive change in the situation?’

All the players gathered on the forum. Sometimes, there would be posts of great value.

He opened it and took a few glances. A familiar feeling assaulted him.

[Shocking! The system released the new expansion pack for this reason!]

[The 120 sleeping postures that I have to say to the woman of the Scarlet Moon.]

[The new expansion pack has been released. Would there be any big shots to protect us? Sob, sob, sob! I’m a stout eagle, a cute girl. I attack from the front and suffer from the back.]

An amalgamation of valuable, stupid, and worthless comments flooded the forum.

The forums, where players actively express their thoughts, would always have the most lively atmosphere regardless of the situation.

Richard ignored the stupid posts and looked at the front page. One that pushed up high attracted his attention.

[Two or Three Conjectures About the Crimson Moon]

[I am a believer in the sun god. Since the Crimson Moon appeared in the sky some time ago, the entire sun sect has gone wild. They have used almost all their power to find information about the Crimson Moon.]

[And as time passed by, it became increasingly urgent.]

[Those red-robed high priests who haven’t appeared for a long time often wander around.]

[According to my many direct and indirect inquiries, I finally deduced a piece of important news.]

[The Crimson Moon is related to the gods that disappeared in ancient times.]

[There was no record when I went to the sect’s study room for such information. That puzzled me the most!]

[I initially thought it was because the sect’s collection of books was not comprehensive. I went to the empire’s library afterward, and there was nothing. I also asked people to visit the other large cities’ libraries, but I couldn’t find any information. I even asked people to buy such information, but there was no such person. That was all I got.]

[It was like someone had erased the history of those ancient gods that disappeared.]

[So, could the Crimson Moon be one of those ancient gods? Moreover, gods have a massive grudge against the current gods.]

[Once the other party appears, the current gods will be restless and even feel great fear.]

[Not only that. I came to the same conclusion after I observed others’ posts from various sects.]

[The gods are afraid of the Crimson Moon.]

[I even tried to find and eliminate them.]

[Brothers, perhaps, this new version will involve a battle between the current and the ancient gods!]

[When the time comes, everyone must open their eyes and choose a faction team.]

[Not only that, but I also received a vital piece of news yesterday.]

[Players will play a crucial role in this battle!]

[We are the grace mainland lords, brand-new souls from another plane…Whichever faction the team was in, the world’s will would lean towards that faction.]

[This is intensely important to the current and ancient gods who fought for the world.]
