Huh? Are they all real?.

"For example, their auction house is in five days, right?"

The woman nodded and said:

"Yes, what are your plans in five days?"

Moen did not answer immediately, but continued to ask:

"Then, five days later, almost all the nobles who are interested in such a deal will come from all over the world, right?"

"Of course, I heard this is the biggest auction in over a decade, which is why I'm so eager to find that room to rescue them."

"Then let's set off in five days, when everyone will be here."

"So what do we do now?"

Without a doubt, when the sacred tree performed miracles, Moen automatically became the backbone of this place.

Questions about women.

Moen put down his backpack.

After a brief hesitation, he took out the special rune, which contained the Randa cabbage that Moen had always been reluctant to eat.

"You said you were running out of food, and luckily I have quite a bit here!"

Just as the bottle of Roro wine should have been taken out at the seventh hill, this Randall vegetable should obviously have been eaten at this time as well.

Without hesitation, Moen crushed the rune.

-

Above the valley, at the foot of the sacred tree.

In the former capital of the king.

Rose Lawrence, who was still in her vegetable garden, surprisingly didn't tend to her precious garden.

She simply gazed quietly into the distance, which was precisely the direction of Meereen.

Above her head, the sacred tree was radiating a golden light far exceeding any other time.

Before long, the high elves, who had been looking up at the sacred tree every now and then, once again pushed their carts outside the vegetable garden:

"Lord Shadow, we've come to collect today's Landa vegetables."

The voices of the high elves did not make Roslorian turn around.

She continued to gaze in the direction of Meereen, but she also gave her own response:

"no need."

"What, sir?"

"We won't need to sell lantana to the public anymore."

The high elves exclaimed in delight:

"So you finally think those damned humans aren't worthy of enjoying such sacred food?!"

Rose Lorian turned around with amusement and said:

"No, it just means we don't need to send it over anymore."

This statement, like before, left them completely baffled.

However, looking at their black armor, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years...

Rose Lorian added earnestly:

"And one more thing."

"What, sir?"

"Let's go back to how it was originally; he'll definitely like it."

Chapter 176 The First Witch and King Eden (3k)

Amid the high elves' confusion, Roslorian offered no further answers.

She simply gazed quietly up at the sacred tree above her.

There was no wind, but the sound of a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves echoed throughout the old capital.

This was a situation the elves hadn't seen in far too long.

So much time has passed that the elves have almost forgotten when this last happened.

However, they should gradually remember soon.

-

Deep within those unknown sewers, a place of filth that should be avoided by all the holy ones.

Yet it shines with the purest light of life.

That was the blessing of the sacred tree.

It is given both to the ancient king who has finally returned to his side and to the lost people who can finally go home.

To celebrate the day, the girls used the ingredients Moen brought to prepare a nice dinner.

Their craftsmanship is excellent.

Although it certainly can't compare to the top chefs in the capital.

But it was still good enough for Moen, who was used to all kinds of delicacies.

At that moment, Moen was holding a vegetable bun made of landar vegetables and watching from the side, while also asking the woman next to him some more detailed questions.

"By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Ah, I'm sorry I'm only telling you my name now. My name is An Xia. As for my surname, please forget about it. I've never had a surname since I was born."

She had a home and parents, but all of those things disappeared the moment she was born.

Her parents couldn't even wait to raise her to adulthood; they sold her directly to the Ironclad Merchant Guild.

Afterwards, Anxia went back to the home she remembered, but there was nothing there anymore.

The neighbors said that her parents moved to a bigger city after they sold her.

They lived a life of extravagance and debauchery.

"I'm sorry to bring this up."

"No, you don't need to apologize. This can't be blamed on you."

After saying this, the woman named Anxia turned to Moen and asked:

"You have more than just this question, right?"

"Yes, you've been here for over a hundred years. Do you understand why this kind of thing only happens on the Osai Peninsula?"

In Moen's understanding, the so-called atavism would never happen.

Once an elf intermarries with another race, they will lose all elven characteristics after only three generations.

And they, their parents, can be said to be pure-blooded humans without a doubt.

At most, there must have been a spirit among my ancestors many years ago.

At present, their blood relationship with the elves has become so distant that they are merely creatures of the same world.

Yet, under such circumstances, an inexplicable atavism occurred.

This completely defied convention, and it was a miracle confined to the Orsay Peninsula.

There must be some secret hidden here.

Logically speaking, this is most likely the work of the Steelheart Church.

After all, this is their parish, and buying and selling these girls is a source of their wealth.

But Moen felt that precisely because of this, it was not something that the Steelheart Church was behind.

Because it's too obvious.

Moen felt that the Steelheart Church's role in this was most likely that of a beneficiary who happened to discover and exploit the situation.

Otherwise, given that guy's personality, Moen would find it hard to believe that such a miracle could be confined to such a small place as the Ausay Peninsula.

As for the sacred tree, it didn't know what was going on either.

Over the years, she has acted as a clandestine protector, maintaining a tacit balance with the Church of Steelheart.

She wouldn't interfere unprovoked, but similarly, the Church of Steelheart would exercise restraint once the girls came to her.

If you really want to ask about something deeper, you'll probably have to ask Shadow.

She should know more.

"That's it."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help you."

Moen waved his hand and laughed:

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. The general direction won't change, don't worry."

-

The next day, the president of the Ironclad Merchant Guild was in his safe house, berating the people in front of him.

"Useless, a bunch of damned useless trash!"

"I must be blind to give you food and money!"

"It's been a whole day, and we're still on our turf, yet you haven't found anything!"

He paced back and forth in front of them like an ant on a hot plate, occasionally letting out a few curses filled with exasperation:

"Do you even understand the magnitude of this matter?"

"That's a nobleman from a dynasty, and Baratheon may already be investigating this matter!"

"Do you even realize how serious this would be if they traced us back to us?"

The Ironwood Merchant Guild was affiliated with the Steelheart Church.

Then a nobleman of the dynasty was attacked by them in their merchant guild!

If this matter is blown out of proportion even slightly, it will become a conflict between the supreme beings.

The two emperors certainly wouldn't want to pay the price for their stupidity, so this fool of mine will definitely be handed over.

After all, he made all of this on his own initiative.

There is no reason for those in positions of authority to protect a disobedient fool who causes them trouble.

Amidst the chamber of commerce president's furious outburst, one of his men finally couldn't help but mutter something under his breath:

"Isn't this something you caused yourself?"

"what?!"

But even this whispered murmur was overheard by him. The guild leader, his eyes wide with rage, rushed up to him, grabbed him by the collar, and roared:

"You mean you blame me?"

"No, sir, this, this."

"Fool, if it weren't to save the Chamber of Commerce some Heavenly Gold, why would I do something so stupid?"

"Do you even know that the price of gold in the sky has increased almost tenfold this year?!"

This answer was indeed beyond their comprehension. Although they knew that the chairman most likely wanted to keep it for himself, they were even more certain that the "heavenly gold" that had increased more than tenfold was definitely real.

But why? !

After a brief moment of shock, they both realized the answer—the holy cities of the two emperors had been destroyed.

In order to rebuild the holy city and make up for the losses, the church will certainly try to gather wealth from various places to recoup its losses.

And this is undoubtedly the reason why the gold in the sky has doubled so dramatically.

Although this means they will likely have to endure several years of hardship in the future.
