The sound of snoring and puffing filled the hall, a large building filled with various shelves, various objects that Ryan had never seen before, he surveyed the surroundings with wide eyes. There were all kinds of plants, stones and even a section for animal corpses. An old man was leaning on the table with his hand under his chin. His long white beard and untidy hair, along with the sound of snoring and puffing, fully revealed his personality.
Above the old man's head was a large sign, the same ancient words that seemed more fluent to him than his own language.
"Mahtab Sect Registration and Sales Building"
The frown on the young woman's face gave her an interesting expression. Ryan barely held back his laughter, no announcement was heard from the old man. He couldn't provoke another monster without arriving. A minute passed, but the sound of snoring became less and less, even louder than before, mixed with the vague words "Queen, my queen".
The young woman didn't wait any longer, she slammed her hand firmly on the table and called out:
"Grandson! »
The old man's hand was helpless under his chin and his head hit the table. Red caught the sound, he pulled back the chair in surprise and knew
"Oh, my lady, it is you, I said to myself, who could be the old man visiting me?" What brought you here today?"
Meanwhile, he was complaining in a muffled voice, although he was trying to say quietly, but Ryan could hear its content very well:
"Damn, after a long time I was dreaming of the queen. Did you have to bother me right now? »
Although the woman heard the old man's grunt, she didn't pay attention, she pulled her hand on the mysterious black ring, and after that, several bodies of different creatures fell on the ground.
"My guess was right! »
The old man looked at the bodies on the ground and laughed happily.
"As expected, you are back as full as ever my lady!"
He checked the inventory as he clapped his hands, and continued:
"Your dogs are the best."
It was as if he had found a treasure mountain. After a while, he stopped and stared at the young woman.
"Prices have not changed, level [I] animals ten queen coins and the rest at ten times the value respectively for each level. In the sum of one hundred thousand coins of the queen. Cash or equipment?
The indifferent voice answered without hesitation:
"like always!"
Ryan glanced at Snow's expression, a big smile on his face, his big tongue sticking out and his tail wagging as he rolled on the ground.
"Why was he happy?"
The old man handed over the things, as if he finally noticed Ryan's presence, gave him a surprised look and stared at the young woman again.
"Today is a very interesting day, the cold lady of the sect saved a displaced person. I think your lovers will break their heads for this news. I'm going to get good money!"
He watched the woman's reaction while grinning. A cold aura flowed from his body, seeing this the old man coughed and turned back to Ryan. She was scared, you could tell by the look in her eyes, women all over the world didn't change and adapt to it. Wonders that even a monster like an old man is afraid of.
He stroked his beard and explained:
"To live in wooden houses, you need to pay one queen's coin per month and of course enough food will be provided for you. You earthlings lack power, but you still have different characteristics that are useful for the sect. Cooking, telling jokes. a worker You can choose any job you are interested in. If you don't want to, you can either go hunting or leave the sect..."
The young woman did not allow the old man to finish his speech and ordered:
"From now on, to be considered as a foreign student, he is also allowed to leave the castle and hunt. As you have understood by now, he is the strongest among the earthlings and can be a hope to change their situation!"
The old man opened and closed his mouth several times:
"But! It doesn't have the necessary level and this..."
The woman did not intend to give the old man a chance to speak. He looked at him coldly and continued:
"Then consider him as my special guest!"
The old man was surprised and he was right. This might be the first time that something so important happened. Whatever it was, the boy will not have an easy life from now on. He just looked at Ryan with pitiful eyes. There was nothing he could do.
Ryan didn't understand many things. But he knew that he was not willing to waste his days like the rest of the people who lived in the sect. If he had to work, he would have left the sect without any doubt. The young woman was his savior. In any case, he had to make up for it one day.
He thought it was in his own interest to think like this, the woman should have the position of a great and with the condition of the people here, there was no hope of revenge. Maybe his heart would calm down.
The old man threw a booklet and a badge with a crescent moon at Ryan. He coughed and tiredly explained:
"You certainly have a lot of questions about this world and what happened to the rest of your kind. As you can see, I'm a busy old man and I can't explain to people like you one by one. The number of refugees is increasing every day. If I want to explain to everyone, I have to put it here. I made the booklet. Everything you need to know has been provided by my hard work. I don't expect anything from you now, but you have to make up for it one day!"
He paused. He looked at the sign and continued:
"This is the sign of our sect. Moonlight Cult Many people say that the leader of the cult has described himself as the beauty of the moon because he is infatuated with himself, and this is what they chose to describe him. But in my opinion, even though the leader is older than me and his hair is whiter than Risham, she is the most beautiful woman you can find in the region."
He brought his head closer and whispered softly next to his ear:
"When I was as young as you. Remember it well! In short, I was saying. I was also one of those who slept with the leader, even though he is narcissistic and proud, but he is very beautiful. between us, he has not found a partner yet. However, take my word for it, don't go to her for your own good, or you will be beaten and careless like me, or her lover will destroy you without even realizing your love for her."
Ryan didn't know how the leader was so arrogant, he didn't judge. Maybe it really deserves this definition? He couldn't help but take a look at the young woman's eyes, if anyone deserved this compliment, it was definitely her. The beauty that he had never seen before and the peace that radiated from him could not be found anywhere else. He nodded. It was not too bad. Maybe he should have reconsidered?
The young woman also noticed Ryan's look, she didn't think about it, her face turned red, she angrily scolded the old man:
"What is this nonsense you are talking about? You are not ashamed of tradition!"
The young woman had never heard of it, but it was a description that everyone in the area used. She didn't know how to resolve this misunderstanding, she squirmed like a little girl and looked at Ryan. If one word was used to describe his facial expression. It was cute, the blush on her cheeks was completely visible. His silver hair and gray eyes, along with his flawless body, attracted both the old man's and Ryan's gaze.
"Very cute!"
They both muttered this at the same time.
The young woman lowered her head and bit her lips. He whispered in a muffled and stammering voice:
"Don't listen to the words of this old man, I, eh... No, this has nothing to do with appearance."
He raised his head. His behavior was wrong, it does not suit his character. He took a deep breath. It didn't take much time for him to assume the same cold and indifferent state again, the previous scene can hardly be called rare. This was impossible, and this was proven by the old man's bulging eyes. He continued again, but this time more firmly:
"As I said, it has nothing to do with my appearance.
Moonlight is my name!"
