The next day, early in the morning, they three have left Arizon Town. Wagga City is not far from here, so it is better for them to leave early if they don’t want to risk any incidents.
After what has happened in Wagga City, Agatha no longer goes to other city for fun. A few days later, they successfully arrive in the Imperial City, also called the Red Moon City.
The Red Moon City is the most famous city and the most prosperous city in the Red Fox Empire. In fact, the Red Moon City has another noble name, that is, the Millennium Imperial City.
From the present Red Fox Empire to the previous Red Moon Dynasty, to even the earlier Cangmang Empire, several dynasties come and go on this territory over the past thousand years, but the Imperial City has not changed, and it has always been the Red Moon City.
The reason why the city is named Red Moon City is not that it is the Imperial City of the Red Moon Dynasty. On the contrary, the Red Moon Dynasty is named because of the existence of the Red Moon City. And because of this, after the overthrow of the Red Moon Dynasty by the Fugos Family, the Red Moon City has always maintained its original name.
Royal Knight College is located in the northwest Red Moon City, which is a relatively remote place but also one of the most important regions in the City because it is the future of the Empire. Once it was said that if anyone could eliminate all students and teachers at the Royal Knight College, the Red Fox Empire is likely to be thoroughly annihilated in 20 years.

This may be an exaggeration, but it is enough to illustrate the importance of the Royal Knight College to the Empire. Of course, it is impossible to eliminate all its teachers and students.
Rowen and Agatha do not go to Royal Knight College at once. It is still in the mid-February now, and Royal Knight College opens in early March. Even if Rowen goes to Royal Knight College now, it is likely that the College will not receive him because they arrive half a month in advance. What’s more, Patriarch Brian holds his admission letter, so he could gain his letter only when Patriarch Brian, Nina and Carl arrive in the Red Moon City.
“The Imperial City is too large to visit all its sights!” Despite many strangers glancing at her from either side, Agatha raises her voice and says with exclamation. Rowen has never known until now that this is also the first time for this young lady to visit the Imperial City.
There is no doubt that Agatha is the most striking one, even when she is walking in the streets of the Imperial City because her unique dress has attracted those people’ curious eyes.
The Red Moon City is really a large city, far bigger than either Wagga City or the Red Cloud City. Three of them have arrived here at noon, but it is dusk now and they have only visited just a small area.
“There are two main avenues in the Imperial City, one is the Hills Avenue spreading from the south to the north of the city, and the other is the Hawkins Avenue spreading from the west of the city to the east of the city. The two main roads are both ten kilometers long, and the center of the Red Moon City, the Red Moon Square, is located at the place where the Hills Avenue and Hawkins Avenue meet.” Says Laidlaw who is obviously familiar with the Imperial City, “Miss, if you want to visit every part of the Imperial City, I’m afraid it will take you a month or two to finish it.”
“Uncle Laidlaw, do you know any interesting places here?” Asks Agatha with a smile.
“That depends on what you want to play, Miss.” Laidlaw smiles, “The Imperial City has everything. Whatever you want, you can find it here.”
“Well, let me see…” Agatha thinks for a while and then shakes her head helplessly, “Oh dear, I don’t know what I want to play. Seems that I want to play everything.”
Here Agatha pulls Rowen’s arm, “Hey, what do you think we’re going to do?”
“Uncle Laidlaw, what should I do if I want to find someone?” Rowen ignores Agatha and asks Laidlaw.
“You want to look for someone?” says Agatha, “Who do you want? You can speak out the name and ask anyone in the street.”
“Master Rowen, if the person you’re looking for is well-known in the Imperial City or if you know where he lives, as Miss says, you can just ask anyone,” Laidlaw nods.
“I don’t know where they are. I’m not even sure if they’re in the Imperial City. I guess they’re also not famous here.” A sad look appears on Rowen’s face.
“Well, who are you looking for?” Agatha could not help asking.
Rowen keeps silent for a moment, and says in a low tone, “My parents, they came to the Imperial City ten years ago, and they didn’t go back.”
“Ah…” says Agatha with surprise. “Well, but it’s been ten years, and I’m afraid they…”
Agatha doesn’t go on, but Rowen knows what she means.
“Anyway, I’ll find them,” says Rowen calmly, “I’m going to find their bones and take them home even if they are really dead.”
Ten years have passed, Rowen still hopes to find his parents one day, but he is also prepared to face any results calmly.
“In that case, there’s only one place you can go,” Laidlaw says with a pause.
“Uncle Laidlaw, where is it?” asks Agatha hastily.
“The Adventurers’ Home,” Laidlaw replies.
“The Adventurers’ Home?” Rowen feels confused, “That seems to be a place where adventurers take bounty missions. Uncle Laidlaw, do you want me to offer a reward for finding my parents?”
Laidlaw shakes his head, “That is the function of the Adventurers’ Home you can see on the surface. In fact, the Adventurers’ Home is the biggest intelligence agency on Cang Yun Continent. They sell all kinds of information and also have a clear record of what has happened everywhere. You can gain a record from them even about the things that happened ten years ago or decades ago.”
“That is to say, they are likely to know where my parents are?” It cheers Rowen up, “Uncle Laidlaw, do you know where the Adventurers’ Home is?”
Laidlaw nods, “If you want to go, I can take you there.”
“Then please take me there!” Rowen is impatient to wait.
“All right.” Laidlaw nods. “Though the Adventurers’ Home sells information, it is not possible for everyone to go there and buy information. If it is the first time for you to buy information, you must have an introducer. Let me be your introducer.
“Thanks, Uncle.” Says Rowen gratefully.
“You’re welcome, Uncle Laidlaw is one of us! We are family!” Agatha grins, clutches Rowen’s arm and says, “Come on, let’s go to the Adventurers’ Home!”
The Red Moon Square, located in the center of the Red Moon City, has always been one of the most prosperous places in the Imperial City, but it is also a place that many ordinary people in the Imperial City stay away from because there are nearly ten conflicts happening at the Red Moon Square every day, and innocent people often get involved in them once they are careless.
The area next to the round Red Moon Square is divided into four zones by Hawkins Avenue and Hills Avenue. In each zone, there is a conspicuous high-rise building, and each high-rise building represents a powerful force of Cang Yun Continent.
The southeast zone is the Enchanter Union, and the northwest zone opposite to the Enchanter Union the Warrior Union. The Summoner Union is in the northeast zone and the Adventurers’ Home in the southwest.
As three occupations on Cang Yun Continent, the status of enchanters, warriors and summoners has been almost the same. Each of them is eager to prove that his occupation is the stronger than others, which also leads to the bad relationship among the three Unions.
While in the Adventurers’ Home, enchanters, warriors and summoners are available. Although some people go there to accept bounty mission for the reason that they want to train themselves, but most of the adventurers are relatively poor. They go there for money. In short, the adventurers in the Adventurers’ Home are living a poor life and they also have a lower status in their occupations. Thus, they are also a relatively independent class.
These four forces do not like one another very much, but since their Unions are located at the Red Moon Square, conflicts are naturally inevitable.
Two warriors are dueling at the Red Moon Square when Rowen arrives there, and there are many bystanders looking at them. However, Rowen has no interest in it, and he walks straight into the Adventurers’ Home.
A pungent smell comes over them as they get into the hall. With the dim light hanging above, people of all kinds can be seen everywhere. Some are drinking alone, some are discussing something together, and some are walking to the window of the hall to accept missions. The smell of sweat and blood is flowing in the hall, and the air is a little foul. This Adventurers’ Home seems more like a pub selling cheap wine.
“What’s that smell, so disgusting!” Agatha complains.
“Lady, the Adventurers’ Home is such a place. It not only a place that provides tasks for the adventurers, but also a place that allows the adventurers to rest and drink.” Laidlaw smiles,
“Let’s go to the second floor. There are fewer people and the air will be much better.”
Laidlaw is familiar with this place, so he goes straight up to the second floor with Rowen and Agatha. At the entrance to the second floor stand two pretty girls who do not say a word when they see Rowen and other people, and they just smile at them and give them a bow.
Laidlaw draws out a dark gold card from his arms and hands it over to the girl. One of the girls takes it and examines it carefully, then she returns it to Laidlaw, bows again, and gives him a sign to go in.
It is like coming to a completely different world when they walk into the hall on the second floor. A smell of jasmine flower comes from the hall, and the whole hall is filled with the scent of jasmine. What is diametrically different from the chaos below is that the whole hall is empty for no one is there at all, which is quite different from what Laidlaw said. There are no people at all!
The hall on the second floor is also very dark, and although it is evening here, there is no light at all. The only light is coming from a small window at the end of the hall.
Laidlaw goes towards the small window and then hands over the gold card he has taken out before through the window.
Rowen tries to see who is sitting there by the window, but only to find that the little window is covered by a translucent curtain, behind which a person could be seen sitting. But it is not clear what he looks like, whether it is a man or a woman is unknown.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Laidlaw?” A soft voice comes behind the curtain at the same time as the card is handed out. It is only then that Rowen realizes that it is supposed to be a young woman over there.
“Miss Molly, I’m just an introducer today. It is Rowen Wolf who needs Miss Molly’s help.” Laidlaw says in a polite tone.
“Then Mr. Wolf please stays here, and Mr. Laidlaw, would you please wait outside with Miss Ryan.” The soft and lovely voice sounds again.
“Why, how do you know my name?” Asks Agatha.
“If I don’t know that, how can I provide the best service for everyone?” A chuckle comes from inside. “Miss Ryan, I haven’t congratulated you on your choosing a good husband yet!”
“You really seem to know everything!” Murmurs Agatha. “Hey, do you know what I’m thinking now?”
“Miss Ryan, we are not omniscient. But we often pay more attention to some important people like Miss Ryan,” says Miss Molly simply.
