Unfortunately, Harvey doesn’t know much about Moon Tide, and Enzo hasn’t managed to get more information.

Aside from that, Harvey’s expression turned serious as he said, “Mr Enzo, I covered the smuggling fees for you. Now, you should handle the accommodation costs yourself. I know you don’t have Kafen on you, but you must have something valuable.”

Harvey was quite certain about this.

Enzo didn’t have any visible bags, but he could pull out items, suggesting he likely had some sort of spatial storage equipment.

That was extremely valuable!

Thus, Harvey was convinced Enzo wasn’t poor, which was his main reason for helping Enzo.

After thinking for a moment, Enzo pulled out a glass and threw it to Harvey, asking, “How much for this?”

Harvey held the glass with both hands, his eyes glowing with curiosity as he asked, “Mr Enzo, where did you get this? I heard about it in the Barren Peninsula desert area before, but I’ve never seen it or known who made it.”

Enzo was surprised that goods from the Crimson Star Tribe were even mentioned in the desert area.

After a moment, he replied, “I do know the origin of these items and can even tell you directly where they come from. However, that place is far from the Dark Night Forest’s border, and bringing this here for trade isn’t easy.”

Harvey, however, was completely uninterested in that and excitedly asked, “You know where it’s produced?”

He jumped up in excitement, causing the wooden house to shake slightly and annoy several other guests.

Harvey calmed down a bit and urged, “Mr Enzo, tell me quickly. Once we make money, we’ll split it 90-10. I take 90%, and you take 10%.”

Enzo didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he reached into his spatial storage again and pulled out several more glass items.

Before long, the entire table was covered with these glass pieces. Under the flickering light of the wall’s flames, each item sparkled like a gem, their clarity dazzling. Harvey trembled, his voice changing as he asked in shock, “Brother Enzo, how many of these things did you bring?”

Enzo replied, “Not many, just enough to fill a room.”

Harvey gasped, and after a long pause, he managed to calm himself and said, “A whole room?! Do you know how much this entire room of items is worth? Just sending them to the auction in the gathering place would drive everyone, including royal members, crazy! It’s a symbol of status!”

“This single cup is worth at least fifty gold Kafen!”

Harvey was extremely excited, as if he saw piles of gold Kafen beckoning to him.

However, even after learning the value of these glass items, Enzo remained calm. To him, these were merely the output of three days at the Crimson Star Tribe’s camp. With a few more factories, the production could be even higher. Ordinary members of the tribe were already using glass products.

To him, these items were less valuable than a piece of beast hide.

But Enzo saw no need to mention this to Harvey.

Enzo put away several of the glass items, leaving only two cups. He then said to Harvey, “One of these is for you, and the other, you help me sell.”

Harvey looked incredulous and asked, “Are you serious?”

Upon hearing this, Enzo picked up one of the cups and said, “If you don’t want it, then forget it.”

Harvey’s expression changed immediately. He quickly grabbed the glass cup and smiled, “Brother Enzo, you’re clearly not an ordinary person. I, Harvey, have a reputation for handling things well. I will definitely help you sell this at a high price!”

Harvey carefully put away the items and left the room.

He covered the accommodation fees as expected.

…

As night fell, the world grew quiet.

Without Harvey’s interruptions, Enzo resumed studying Potion knowledge, reflecting on patterns related to other elements, and thinking about his student Per, who was likely also learning Potion knowledge and studying flame symbols.

At that moment, Enzo felt a watchful gaze.

He quickly opened the window and saw a faint cyan shadow darting away, so he gave chase.

After a brief pursuit, he caught up with the figure.

“Impressive strength.”

Enzo remarked as he found Mona sitting on a branch of a large tree in an open wilderness. Her pale feet swung in the air as she supported herself on the branch, dressed in a light green gauze dress, and observed Enzo with curiosity.

Enzo looked up and asked, “Is this why you lured me out here?”

Mona shook her head with a smile and said, “Of course not.”

She jumped down gracefully and approached Enzo, whispering, “I sense the presence of Trelina on you, and it’s quite strong. This suggests you’ve had close contact with her. But you’re from the Barren Peninsula, and Trelina is the future heir of the Solar Dynasty. She’s like a noble swan, while you’re just a frog croaking in the mud. I’m curious about your story.”

He had been discovered.

Enzo sighed inwardly.

In the supernatural world, uncovering the truth was often quite easy.

Enzo admitted it calmly, without rebutting, but he also made it clear he wouldn’t be intimidated by Mona, saying, “Curiosity about someone isn’t a good thing. And if you think you can use this method to threaten me, you’re dreaming.”

Mona maintained her pleasant smile.

A faint glow appeared in her palm, which scattered and then converged into a mirror.

Mona explained, “This is a precious artifact of the Solar Dynasty, known as the Lost Mirror. Anyone who looks into it will fall into a deep state of subconsciousness and reveal their secrets. And you have already looked into it.”

Seeing Enzo’s vacant expression, Mona felt quite pleased.

She put away the Lost Mirror, lightly traced her finger over Enzo’s face, and said with a smile, “That’s the cost of refusal! Now, tell me everything that happened between you and Trelina!”

However, Mona was unaware that Enzo’s consciousness had not truly been lost.

The Lost Mirror did affect him, but only for a moment. Enzo remained fully aware. To deal with Mona, he decided to feign a deep state of subconsciousness and fabricate a story.

In the story Enzo spun, he and Trelina had only encountered each other once.

They had been caught in a storm and lost control, ending up in the center of the tempest together.

Mona, clearly dissatisfied, said with disappointment, “How could it be like this? When I questioned Trelina, she didn’t act this way! Could it be that Trelina lied? But why would she lie?”

Mona was puzzled.

Just then, a sharp dart shot towards her.

“Watch out!”

Enzo instinctively shouted and quickly pulled Mona out of the way to avoid the incoming dart.

Mona realized the situation.It was something wrong!

She was shocked to find Enzo’s reaction quicker than her own.

Enzo’s consciousness wasn’t affected!

Damn it!

I’ve been deceived!

But there was no time to dwell on this. Mona’s calm facade crumbled as she became anxious. She shouted at the surrounding figures, “You’re from the Monthly Dynasty! How dare you attack me? Aren’t you afraid of the Solar Dynasty’s retaliation?”

The attackers laughed heartily upon hearing these words.

The leader sneered, “Retaliation from the Solar Dynasty? Hmph, Miss Mona, you’re truly naive! Soon enough, the Solar Dynasty will fall, and the Dark Night Forest will become Monthly Dynasty’s private domain!”

Mona’s anxiety grew, and she retorted, “You’re lying!”

The leader mocked her, “I have no reason to lie to someone about to die.”

He then commanded, “Attack.”

As his words faded, the figures of the attackers vanished, seemingly blending into the moonlight.

Mona felt utter despair as she watched this unfold.

She turned to Enzo and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to kill you, but now you’re also targeted. These people are the Monthly Dynasty’s Shadow Corps. They can completely vanish in darkness. No one can detect them or escape.”

As she spoke, Mona noticed something strange.

Enzo’s form was gradually disappearing, as if merging with the night.

Now, Mona faced the Shadow Corps alone.

Feeling overwhelmed, she shouted defiantly, “I’m not afraid of you! Even if I die, the Solar Dynasty will avenge me!”

Mona continued shouting for a while, but to her surprise, she wasn’t attacked.

Just then, a voice came from above, “Stop shouting. You have the audacity to threaten me, but you’re scared of these so-called Shadow Corps? I can’t tell if you’re foolish or naïve.”

Mona looked up abruptly and saw Enzo sitting on the very tree branch she had been on earlier.

Below the tree lay the corpses of the Shadow Corps members.

The sight left Mona stunned.

She couldn’t help but ask, “How did you manage this? Once the Shadow Corps enter their stealth mode, no one can detect them, let alone kill them!”

Enzo looked down from his vantage point and said, “I also understand a bit.”

In the next moment, Mona noticed that Enzo’s figure had vanished, and another person appeared beside her. It was Enzo.

Mona, unable to stay calm, immediately moved away from Enzo and demanded, “Who are you? There’s no way someone as powerful as you could come from the Barren Peninsula!”
