"Isn't the moon beautiful?"
Leon paused mid-step as he heard the voice.
He slowly turned his head to the right and saw one of the [Moon Sect Guards] looking directly at him.
The guard's expression was calm, almost serene, his eyes reflecting the pale light of the massive moon hanging low above the city.
"Yes," Leon replied without hesitation. "It is."
The guard studied him for a brief moment, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good," he said. "The real one is coming soon."
"I hope to see it," Leon answered evenly.
That seemed to be the correct response.
Without another word, the guard stepped aside, allowing Leon and Emilia to pass through the city gate.
Leon knew how easily this could have gone wrong.
Much like Merek back in [Hub City], these beings were not players from other worlds.
They were natives of the [Lower Domain] itself, entities born directly from [Eternal Ascension].
And unlike merchants or wanderers, these ones were zealots. They worshiped the moon.
