"Of course, but it won't be free this time. You need to trade with me in exchange for what you want."

The transaction this time was to exchange a hare for a new crystal. When the two parted that day, the businesswoman also told the Green Dragon:

"I'll be here every day, and you can trade with me every day."

The dragon maid then said regretfully:

"But I can't always be here. I must return to the academy."

"Then as long as you go back a few days later, you can get more crystals."

Miss Wilder hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head and gave up:

"Although I want the teachers to see me become smarter and talented, I can't leave the academy for so long. I still have to make tea and prepare snacks. I won't trade anymore, and that's enough.

"

After saying that, she made up her mind and left. The businessman looked at her with a smile from behind:

"There are enough desires, but responsibilities seem to be more important to her. It's not that she can put things down after picking them up, but the responsibilities she holds in her hands are heavier for her."

(Xiaomia is sleepingzzZ)

Iluna no longer remembers when she came to the forest. It seems that because of the Holy See training, she was forced to temporarily live with the elves in this woodland far away from the city, slowly waiting for the training time.

Pass.

She rescued a businesswoman who was being chased by a giant bear in the forest, and the businesswoman gave her a gift:

"I know your secret."

The businessman smiled and said:

"Sun, right? Your extraordinary talent did not come out of thin air. The sun gave you great power, but obviously you are also worried about the future."

She gave Iluna a bright crystal, which scattered the sun's rays and formed colorful colors:

"Take it with you, and time will stay on you for a while. You will grow slower than others, and things that will happen in the future will also be delayed for a long time."

Iluna soon discovered that the crystal was really useful, so she went to find the merchant again the next day to express her gratitude. The merchant who still did not leave the forest asked Iluna if she needed more crystals:

"Enough crystals can make time pass more slowly. It's just these eternal crystals that you need to pay."

"No problem, I can pay!"

Therefore, Iluna first obtained new crystals at the expense of "hunting a wild boar", and then obtained more crystals at the expense of "cutting down a small piece of forest land" on the third day.

More and more crystals came into Iluna's hands with the transaction, and she paid an increasing price for them. Those eternal crystals that can withstand the erosion of time, shine with charming light, and unknowingly let

Greed and desire gradually blinded her eyes, making her act more and more without scruples.

One day a long time later, on a night that no one can record, in order to obtain more crystals, Iluna was asked to sacrifice a soul. But this time, she refused:

"No, I won't do that."

"But you have done so much. Is it not worth it to give up now? All your previous efforts will be in vain."

The businesswoman said that for some reason Iluna suddenly remembered a term called "sunk cost" that Shade had said before, but she still shook her head:

"It's all in vain. I can't sacrifice others for myself, or at least in this case, it's not worth it."

Not only did she reject the merchant, she even threw away all the crystals she had obtained before:

"I can see that you are not a normal person, right? You are testing my heart, so I don't want any of this."

After saying that, she turned around and left. The businesswoman looked at her back and murmured:

"Even if the obsession is so deep, it can be withdrawn in time before it completely falls. Balanced gold, fate has indeed chosen the most correct person. But if you can let go of the sun this time, can you let go of the moon next time?"

(Little Mia is trying to transform.)

Shade was walking in the woods, and the businesswoman he rescued seemed particularly kind:

"I think you need this."

She gave Shade a beautiful crystal:

"This is the eternal crystal."

Shade said:

"But I don't pursue eternity, nor power, nor beauty."

As he said this, he wanted to turn around and leave, but the businesswoman stopped him:

"What about the girl?"

"Even if I don't have beautiful crystals, I can still pursue girls."

The businesswoman smiled happily. When she saw Xia De turning around to leave, she asked again:

"What about the moon?"

Shade turned to look at her, and the businesswoman continued:

"The moon and the sun are the most supreme existences in our world. But even moonlight can be sealed by eternal time."

Shade looked at the crystal in her hand:

"What's the meaning?"

"After the collapse of the original moon, part of the moon's remains turned into pure moonlight and was sealed in this crystal. If you don't believe it, soak the crystal in the water tonight and put your head in the water, you can

You know if what I said is true."

So that night, Shade threw the crystal into the pool behind the giant tree in the tribe of elves where he was staying. And when he stretched his head into the water, what he saw was just like the silver moon in his dream.

Brilliant light.

So he found the businessman again in the forest early the next morning:

"You have more eternity crystals that contain the remains of the moon, right?"

The businessman smiled and said:

"Of course, why, the light of a piece of crystal is not enough, right?"

"I want more. More crystals to piece together more wreckage until I can see her."

First, they hunted hares as trading goods, and then cut down the thousand-year-old trees in the forest. The trading goods that the merchants needed were different every day, but Shade was able to come up with what she requested on time every day, even if it was

Very cruel product.

So as the days passed, the reason for coming to the forest became no longer important, and leaving here was no longer important. Shade only knew that he had obtained more and more eternal crystals that sealed the moonlight.

And when those mountains of crystals were put into the water at night, the moon he saw in the water became more and more real. He had a hunch that maybe he could actually synthesize a real piece of the original moon through this method.

wreckage.
