Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

Given Luna's current situation, it would be difficult for her to go to such a place alone. If she asked someone else to do it, at least with the little money she had on hand, it would probably not work.

"Hey, it's really troublesome."

She didn't want to worry about the future for now. She quickly blew out the oil lamp and prepared to go to bed early.

Slowly taking off her apron and coat, she revealed her delicate body covered by thin clothes. Her silver hair flowed down her back like water, and her skin was as white as milk. Along her beautiful neck and below her collarbone, her chest had already formed a beautiful curve, but it was so tight at the waist that it was frightening.

Even she herself sometimes finds this body extremely charming. It is hard to imagine how it will develop in a few years.

Luna stretched her long, white legs into the bed and yawned. In the dim light, her deep blue eyes scanned the surroundings.

"How long can I stay here? It's time to leave. I can't be a bartender forever. Knowing the existence of the 'mystery' but not being able to study it right away is really torture."

She sat on the bed and flicked her fingers lightly. A ray of flame flashed across the small, dark room and disappeared quickly like a firefly.

3. Behind

"Moni has asked for leave today, so I'd like to trouble Luna to take over for her."

"Hey--"

"After all, you went to bed early yesterday. Sorry for the trouble~"

"All right......"

There are not many customers in the pub during the day, and it seems to be in a very idle state. But instead of that, the pub has to do cleaning, shopping, and prepare the goods for the evening in advance.

The boss lady definitely had this planned in advance! She probably wanted her to show up at the market so that she could get discounts on the goods she bought! After all, she always got discounts when she went out to buy things herself.

Luna was walking on the street carrying a bamboo basket, feeling a little depressed. She didn't like the daytime very much.

Not only the taverns, but also most of the merchants and sailors had left the port early in the morning, and the whole city was quite quiet. Luna walked around the city as the proprietress instructed, mainly to connect with the merchants for next month's orders. She only purchased some seasonings and other things.

"Haha, I'm really exhausted."

Compared to transactional content, dealing with those overt and covert fiery looks and strange hints is a bit more tiring.

In fact, she had read almost all the books available at the city library in the past six months. The more valuable books on the second floor required a recommendation from aristocrats or at least scholars, so perhaps she had to think of a way.

Just as Luna was thinking about what to do in the afternoon after returning to the store to have lunch.

Ok?

A few vaguely familiar people appeared on the street ahead. They were burly, with several scars carved on their sun-damaged brown skin, and the handle of a short knife was exposed at their waist.

"Well, it's those guys from yesterday."

Almost as soon as she saw it, the girl quickly walked to a nearby alley, pressed her body against the wall, and hid herself in the shadow.

She found that those guys seemed to be looking for something. They were obviously looking around, with their hands on the weapons at their waists, which looked quite suspicious.

"Hello? Was there a woman over there just now?"

"Saen, ever since you got pecked on the face by a seabird last year, you've been dazzled by everything you see!"

"I swear it's not this time! Stop talking nonsense and go over there and take a look, okay?"

Several pirates were pushing and shoving each other, swearing as they came towards this side, and were about to reach the entrance of the alley.

Luna's body immediately stiffened. She curled up in the corner and quickly glanced behind her. The depth of the alley was shrouded in darkness. At the end was a high wall, and the windows on the surrounding walls had been sealed for a long time.

No matter how you look at it, it's difficult to escape without making any noise.

The girl's eyes hesitated for a moment, but the footsteps from the entrance of the alley were approaching.

Although she was probably not their original target, it was hard to believe that she would be let off easily when she encountered them at this time. In this area, Luna had heard many horror stories about young and beautiful women being abused by pirates.

"...I'm so unlucky. I can only fight--"

Just as she was mentally prepared, her body gradually tensed up.

But she didn't notice that the pattern on the wall behind her suddenly twisted and revealed a certain outline. Then, a dark shadow pounced out and covered her mouth tightly with a hand.

"Well......"

.......

"Damn it, I just saw it—"

The scar-faced pirate squinted one eye and looked at the empty alley in disbelief. The end of the alley was a dead end, and there didn't seem to be any place around it where people could hide.

"Don't waste time, we don't have much time!"

Another pirate with a thin face was quite dissatisfied. He took out a small compass from his pocket. It looked a bit worn out, but the needle on it was emitting a faint light, which made it look mysterious.

"The tracking compass is silent. It's not nearby."

He took a look and said affirmatively.

Scarface was a little unconvinced. He glanced around and said in a low voice:

"If it's Lord Ural, I'll believe anything he says. But wasn't this thing given to us by his disciples? We've been looking for it for so long, and we've been busy in vain today—"

Not only him, several other pirates were also somewhat dissatisfied.

"That's right. We finally got ashore, but we're not allowed to have fun... The boss never restricted us like this before!"

"How many of our brothers have died for their private work? The last time we robbed the Cajun merchant ship, not so many people died—"

The pirates started arguing again.

"Alright! Even if he is Master Ural's disciple, he is still a noble wizard! How can you mess with him? Aren't you afraid that he will extract your soul and torture you? Stop talking nonsense and get back to work!"

The thin-faced man seemed to be the leader among them, and he suppressed the pirates' complaints with coaxing and intimidation. These pirates were good at killing and arson at sea, but it was too difficult to ask them to act in an organized and disciplined manner.

He put away the compass, and with a gloomy face, he continued to search forward with a few subordinates.

Unlike these idiots, he didn't want to find the "target" at all. At least not by his team. After all, like that adult, the target they were looking for was also a mysterious wizard!

Unlike ordinary ignorant civilians, people who have been at sea for many years know more about mysterious things. In particular, behind those famous pirates, there are almost all mysterious and powerful "wizards"!

They were the same. Sometimes, he even felt that Ural was the real captain.

As he walked down the street, the thin-faced pirate suddenly felt a burning sensation in his arms. He froze for a moment, glanced at his subordinates who were looking around, then calmly took out the compass and glanced at it. The needle on it remained the same, as if it was just an illusion.

"?"

no response?

........

"Well......"

By the time she reacted, Luna's mouth had been covered by a hand and her body was firmly grasped. For a moment, she was completely unable to break free.

"Shhh—keep your voice down."

A soft but nervous female voice came from behind, accompanied by a faint fragrance. The two bodies were very close, and it was as if Luna was being held in the other's arms, and she could feel the warmth and softness on her back.

After she calmed down a little, the person behind her also relaxed a little, and the strength of the hand covering her mouth was reduced a lot.

Luna found that in just a few seconds, the pirates had already arrived at the entrance of the alley. But after looking over there for a few seconds, they seemed to have not seen the two of them at all, and left after a few words.

The lady behind her had a very good figure, at least her soft and full breasts were very present, and her back was very tactile, which made her a little nervous in another sense.

Accompanied by the sound of their heartbeats, the pirates had already moved away for some distance.

4. Claire

As soon as the other party walked away, the hand behind her let Luna go. At the same time, a wave-like thing spread around her, and the environment was subtly changing.

Luna immediately turned around and saw a black-haired girl.

She didn't look as mature as she had imagined. Although she had a good figure, her face still had a childish look, and she didn't seem much older than her.

The black-haired girl was wearing a noble black dress that showed off her charming curves. She had an emerald-colored necklace around her white neck and white silk semi-transparent gloves on her hands. There was still a little moisture on them.

"What's wrong? Is the little girl scared?"

As if taking her silence as fear, the black-haired girl suddenly laughed. She reached out and touched Luna's cheek, looking at her carefully.

"She really is an incredible beauty. It was worth the risk I took just now."

This ordinary girl passing by is so beautiful that it is even breathtaking. If it were not for her outstanding appearance, ordinary women would probably feel ashamed and even jealous.

"My name is Claire, what's yours?"

"Luna. You are the one they are looking for, right? And what was that just now? Why couldn't they see me?"

Luna's calmness was a little beyond Claire's expectations. She couldn't help but say:

"You just said that? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"

"If that were the case, you wouldn't have had to save me just now."

"...You are so brave. Go quickly, don't run into those people, and don't tell anyone about me."

Luna's answer once again surprised her.

"No, I'd better stay with you. Those people are wandering around here, and I'm afraid I'll run into them again later."

She really wasn't sure, after all, it was still broad daylight.

"You really have confidence in me. I can't even protect myself now!"

"Are you a wizard? Was that witchcraft?"

This was the first time she encountered such a crisis, but it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Luna thought so. The mysterious power she had been pursuing for a long time suddenly appeared before her today. If she let it go, she didn't know when she would encounter it again.

What's even more rare is that the girl in front of him doesn't look like a bad person.

Claire was speechless. Most people would be scared or at least avoid the mysterious thing, so why was she so excited? She began to wonder if the handsome guy in front of her was smart or stupid.

She raised her tone slightly, and looked at Luna sternly and hastily:

"I told you, I can't even protect myself! If you follow me, it will only cause trouble for both of us. Don't force me—"

Before she finished speaking, her lips opened slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her charming face.

A small flame suddenly appeared on the fingertips of the silver-haired girl, and her sapphire eyes were looking at her very seriously.

"Witchcraft, is that a thing?"

......

"You are such a weirdo."

"You seem mysterious to me, too."

Luna replied as she led Claire through the city.

Whenever a suspicious person appeared nearby, Claire would release some mysterious power. A layer of light like water waves would cover the bodies of the two people, and then they would be invisible.

"This is an apprentice-level invisibility spell. It has a very small range and is only of limited effectiveness against wizards of the same kind. It's simple enough to deal with ordinary people."

After the spell, Claire's face turned pale. She raised her hand slightly and took out a fluorescent amulet.

"This concealing charm is the real life-saving thing. The enemy wizard apprentice gave those pirates a tracking thing that would give an alarm if they got close to me. It's all thanks to this charm that I haven't been discovered, but it won't last more than half a day."

"long time......"

Luna looked up at the sky and estimated the time.

"Then can't you just leave the city?"

"No, it's just as dangerous in the wild. I'm afraid that the official wizard will take action. They will be more cautious in the city."

"You are a noble lady, right? How about asking the city guards for help?"

Claire's face looked a little bitter when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Some of those soldiers are looking for me! The local Viscount Lindy might be in cahoots with them!"

Viscount Lindy is the lord of the city of Kailin. He has great control over the local soldiers. In other words, his confidants and even himself are also part of the enemy.

"That's really difficult. What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple..." The black-haired girl Claire had always been quite gentle in front of Luna, but this was the first time she showed a ferocious look, and her pretty face looked a little scary.

"Kill the high-level apprentice in this city. Ural is a formal wizard, although he is very powerful, but he dare not come in. The kingdom will never allow a formal wizard to cast spells in the city. Those who violate the rules will be hunted down and killed."
