Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 204 — Empire Star
Seeing the middle-aged woman agreeing to a deal to buy information, Zhou Yuan then began to ask her.
"We start with the most common information, can you tell me where I am now, assume I'm a lost tourist right now."
The middle-aged woman nodded then explained that Zhou Yuan was now in Arka City, one of the largest trading cities located in Artavium Province.
"Artavium Province? I haven't heard of any province with such a name?" Zhou Yuan asked in confusion.
The middle-aged woman coughed softly, not expecting Zhou Yuan to not even know such a big thing.
"The province of Artavium was the largest province in the Star Empire, located at the western end of the empire..." The middle-aged woman explained that if Zhou Yuan went west he would find a sea that bordered between continents.
The sea was a vast ocean and could not be measured at the end, no one had ever managed to pass through it because of its great distance.
Swordsmen like Zhou Yuan who could fly alone would run out of strength in advance before he got to that side of the ocean let alone those who used ships as his suggestion, they will die in the sea from hunger.
Zhou Yuan's expression turned bad, knowing that he would appear in a random place but not expect to be in another empire.
According to Zhou Yuan's knowledge, the distance of the Star Empire and the Moon Empire was very far, it took months even by flying.
Zhou Yuan closed his eyes for a moment, supposing the situation now would not change anything, at least Zhou Yuan knew where the location was.
After all he also did not rush to go to his empire or return to the Zhou Family residence, there were many matters that Zhou Yuan wanted to settle on his own first.
"Did Bibi know about the events of the assault of the beast human race in the Four Empires Academy?" Zhou Yuan asked again this time to another topic.
"Ah, had the Young Master not known it, almost everyone everywhere would have known the news. The event of the betrayal of the Sun Empire has been heard to all directions..."
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, he had already expected the news of the invasion of the beast human race that was plotting with the sun empire to be news that shocked the martial world.
"I don't know, can you be clear about all the attacks and the end result?"
The woman did not mind, despite not seeing the battle directly but she explained it in detail as if she was there and witnessed everything.
"The attack of the beast human race was fortunately successfully thwarted when the sudden appearance of the Phoenix Bird came in the middle of the battle. I don't know where the bird in the legend could have appeared there that he would have helped finish off the beast-man race that attacked the academy." The middle-aged woman ended her story.
Zhou Yuan stroked his chin, he was surprised that it would not happen like that but he certainly felt relieved that the attack had been thwarted.
According to the middle-aged woman in front of him, the aftermath of the great attack occurred the relationship of the Sun Empire with the other three empires deteriorated even to the stage of mutual hostility.
Of course what surprised Zhou Yuan the most was about the Moon, Earth, and Star Empire willing to work together to fight against the ambitions of the Sun Empire who wanted to rule over the entire Northern Plains Continent.
'I don't expect Liu Zhangyang to be so ambitious...' Zhou Yuan shook his head while sighing quite long.
Treasure, throne, and power, are three types of things that make humans so ambitious to get it even though they have to justify various ways.
"Thank you for the information, now I want to ask you a different topic..." After knowing its location in the Star Empire, it was not difficult for Zhou Yuan to return home but before that happened he wanted to finish his affairs here. "Did Auntie ever hear of the Night Shadow Organization roaming around this area, I wanted to explain about them."
The middle-aged woman's expression immediately paled, "Sorry young master, this matter of information I can't tell him..."
Zhou Yuan frowned, he could see that the woman in front of him was so frightened when it alluded to the organization that Zhou Yuan mentioned.
Zhou Yuan took out another leather pouch and gave it to the middle-aged woman. "Auntie, now that we're both here, Auntie doesn't have to worry about anyone else listening to me until I tell anyone about this. Aunty can get an extra piece of gold if she tells you about the Night Shadow Organization."
The middle-aged woman gulped at Zhou Yuan giving her another piece of gold, which made her a dilemma.
On the other hand, the middle-aged woman was frightened because she did not dare to offend the criminal organization but on the other hand, she could not reject the piece of gold that could change her life.
"Young master, did you promise not to tell anyone after I told you everything."
"I'm a swordsman, I always hold my word." Zhou Yuan nodded slowly.
The middle-aged woman then began to explain the Night Shadow Organization, as Zhou Yuan suspected, the information the middle-aged woman obtained was much more specific than she had interrogated the members of the organization.
The middle-aged woman said it all started as the Night Shadow Organization began to sound its name, it turns out that the same organization is a newly formed organization in the martial world.
"Night Shadow Organizations have often done evil over the past few months but a year before they were not like that, the organization can be said to be a good organization..."
Zhou Yuan frowned, according to the story, the Night Shadow Organization in the past had always helped many people from the hands of the organization even some of the thieves had destroyed the Night Shadow Organization around Artavium Province.
Their organization was praised by the citizens because of its services and the workings of those who move under the shadow and do not want to be known by people, it makes the group more mysterious and unrecognizable.
Although the name of the Night Shadow Organization is very famous but in fact only a few of them have ever seen it directly. The distinctive feature of the group from the Night Shadow Organization is wearing all-black, hooded and also masked clothing.
The frown on Zhou Yuan's forehead grew even more, the middle-aged woman's explanation was incompatible with the Night Shadow Organization he was facing in the village.
Apart from the fact that the Night Shadow Organization in the village was very ruthless and seemed to enjoy its role as a criminal, they also did not wear the black hood or mask that the middle-aged woman meant.
