Sothing's not right!
Sothing's really not right!
Why did denying it just increase favorability by 10 points?!
This favorability gain is way too easy! Wait, is it really okay for you to relax just because you asked a simple question?!
This is the Dark World we're talking about! This trait of being 【easily fooled】 is practically written all over your face!
"Why would you ask such a strange question?"
Lynn stared wide-eyed, unable to resist asking.
Click—
The Black Moth Fairy pushed up her fallen mask, revealing a pair of serious eyes, and said:
"Because before our migration, the elder specifically warned us that creatures in this world are very evil! Many of our kind have been easily deceived by certain wicked races and kept as playthings!"
"So the elder told us to always stay vigilant when dealing with outsiders! To avoid being tricked!"
Lynn responded dumbfounded: "Uh..."
"So, are you a scamr, kuré?" she squinted, asking dangerously.
Lynn said: "No."
"That's good then."
The Black Moth Fairy breathed another sigh of relief, pulled out a water bottle from her bosom, gulped down several mouthfuls, and relaxed her deanor.
[Ding! Black Moth Fairy's trust in you 10]
"So, are you a scamr, kuré?" she squinted, asking dangerously.
That increased trust just like that?!
Didn't your elder tell you to stay vigilant?! You just asked one question and started trusting a stranger so easily!
Is this really normal?!
"You ntioned your race is migrating?" Lynn asked curiously.
The Black Moth Fairy glanced at him and said: "The elder said such confidential matters shouldn't be disclosed to any unfriendly creatures, to avoid being tracked down. Are you an unfriendly creature?"
Lynn said: "I'm very friendly."
The Black Moth nodded: "Mmm, that's good. Since you're a friendly creature, it should be fine to tell you!"
"We are indeed migrating, heading to settle in the mountains north of the Hellfire Plains. There are water sources and food there, enough for our clan to thrive and multiply. It's a very good place, kuré."
"......"
Alright.
He facepald.
Lynn thought.
He had already figured out how to quickly infiltrate this clan's inner circle, or easily destroy them.
This trust is too cheap!
If this is characteristic of their entire race, managing to survive in this world is nothing short of a miracle.
Lynn rubbed his temples exasperatedly and asked: "Then you are..."
The Black Moth Fairy gulped down so water, wiped her mouth, suddenly stood up, and declared with seriousness and honor:
"I am the mighty Knight Commander of the fairy race, and the first great knight of the fairy clan to pass the trial! You may address as Lady Yueyue! Where my blade points is the direction my clan advances!"
With a clang.
She drew the miniature sword at her waist, pointing forward and shouting:
"We are indeed migrating, heading to settle in the mountains north of the Hellfire Plains. There are water sources and food there, enough for our clan to thrive and multiply. It's a very good place, kuré."
"......"
The two faced each other in silence, crows flying overhead leaving six dots in their wake.
An awkward atmosphere spread unabashedly.
The Black Moth Fairy climbed down from the table, sat upright on the chair, sheathed her sword, and said with closed eyes:
"Apologies, I got carried away."
Lynn was speechless.
He discovered this fairy wasn't just easily fooled—she also seed a bit brain-deficient.
It felt like her survival until now was nothing short of miraculous.
"But I'm quite puzzled."
Lynn asked seriously while cleaning the bloodstains from her broken arm:
"Isn't Hellfire Plains to the north? Why did you co to the southern Wandering Souls Alley? This place should be hundreds of kiloters from that plain you ntioned, right?"
In his Sight.
Lynn had already gained so understanding of the geographical environnt around Wandering Souls Alley.
Fairy Yueyue closed her eyes, clutching her water bottle:
"Please don't say strange things randomly. This vanguard officer has been heading north all along and will soon find our fairy clan's new territory, kuré!"
Lynn rubbed his chin, thought for a mont, then hesitantly asked:
"The pioneer of the fairy race! The pathfinder of great territories! The light that pierces through the Dark World! The vanguard officer of the great migration! The great Lady Yueyue, kuré! I shall lead my clan toward a bright future, kuré!"
Fairy Yueyue pointed straight ahead with her finger, eyes closed:
"There, the direction my finger points."
"......"
Lynn said hollowly: "Are you sure? But the direction you're pointing is south! Are you certain you haven't gone the wrong way?!"
Fairy Yueyue clicked up the visor of her knight helt, squinting:
"Please don't question the vanguard officer's sense of direction. I've traveled two thousand miles from ho, crossing mountains and ridges. Do you think I would go the wrong way? My intuition has always been very accurate."
"Does your entire clan navigate by intuition?"
"Otherwise?"
"......"
Lynn was montarily speechless, then asked: "How far is your new territory from your clan?"
Fairy Yueyue closed her eyes and raised five fingers:
"About five hundred kiloters, kuré!"
Lynn knocked on the table: "Then let ask you—if it's only five hundred kiloters, why have you traveled two thousand miles without arriving?"
Fairy Yueyue froze.
Her raised fingers stopped in place.
"......"
An eerie silence fell around them.
As if she had suddenly realized sothing that had been overlooked all along.
After a long while.
The fairy nad Yueyue said with hollow eyes: "Now that you ntion it... it does seem a bit strange..."
"......"
"Please don't say strange things randomly. This vanguard officer has been heading north all along and will soon find our fairy clan's new territory, kuré!"
How ntally deficient must one be to travel two thousand kiloters from ho without realizing they're going the wrong direction?!
The fact that she managed to survive until now is practically an insult to the Supre Will and disrespectful to this world!
"Here."
Lynn took a deep breath.
Pulled a compass from under the counter and placed it before her.
"Consider this a sympathetic gesture from a kind soul. 200 Skeleton Coins, friendship price. With this, I believe you'll never get lost again."
Fairy Yueyue propped up her knight visor, looking curiously at the small instrunt:
"This is..."
Lynn closed his eyes: "A compass. A mystical instrunt that lets you correctly identify directions in the Dark World. I usually sell it to others for 1000 Skeleton Coins, but for you, just 200 Skeleton Coins. Call it sympathy."
"Mmm!"
The fairy nad Yueyue showed a curious expression, reached out to take the compass, and played with it.
"How do you use it?"
Lynn pointed at the needle.
"See that needle? Whatever direction the needle points to is south. If you want to go north, just go in the opposite direction of the needle. Quite simple, right?"
"Mmm!"
Fairy Yueyue (✪o✪) said:
"So magical! Indeed a simple and practical tool!"
"Want to buy it?"
"Want."
