Chapter 291 - DETAILS OF FINNEAS CURSE (II) (2/2)

”Do you know the name of this mercenary group and where we could find them?” Shen Ji Yun followed up.

”Crimson Corps, that's the name. If I remember correctly, their headquarters is in Alryne City.”

Luo Yan almost didn't wince. Alryne City again?

”Then, does the Gatekeeper have additional information about the Tower of Edia?” he asked.

The Gatekeeper shook his head. ”I don't know much aside from the obvious that they're a powerful group that heavily worship the moon goddess.”

Luo Yan was not really familiar with the stories surrounding Arcadia. He just knew some of the most common ones. Like the king of Arcadia for example. He's the one and only ruler of Arcadia. It was said that he was the son of the moon goddess, that's why he was very powerful. One of his more popular back stories was about his rivalry with the Demon King of the Cursed Land – it's a place outside the jurisdiction of Arcadia where all criminals were exiled. That place was sealed. All beings living there were forever trapped in that place.

There was a rumor in Arcadia's gaming community that the Demon King was actually the King of Arcadia's half-brother. The Demon King wanted the throne for himself so he staged a rebellion. But the King of Arcadia defeated him and he was thrown to the Cursed Land. Of course, that was not really proven. But it made for a good story, so, a lot of players believed it.

But Luo Yan had never heard much about this so-called Tower of Edia. He did know about the moon goddess. Just like the moon elves, most races in the game worshiped her. And that's the extent of his knowledge about her. It's not really surprising that this 'moon goddess' was special. After all, he had already long noticed that 'moon' was a recurring theme in this game.

They talked with the Gatekeeper for a bit more. When they couldn't get any more viable information, they decided to leave.

”Don't worry, Gatekeeper. We will definitely do our best to find out what really happened to your wife,” Luo Yan assured the Gatekeeper.

The Gatekeeper bowed deeply to them. ”Thank you very much.”

After saying their goodbyes, the two walked out of the Gatekeeper's small cottage.
