Chapter 214

He nodded slightly.

"Mm, you go first, then I'll ask my questions."

If the Zuzhou Society had no secrets,

Lu Cang would never believe it.

Such an ancient, long-standing organization,

was merely a simple charity group.

He would never believe it.

Of course, this "charity" meant nearly unconditional mutual aid.

In practice, it benefited others and oneself alike.

"Brother Lu Cang, do you know what role the cursed ones play for the lords?"

"What role do the cursed ones play for the lords?"

Lu Cang had never heard this phrasing before.

"You know about the Red Moon and the Saint Class, right?"

"Yes."

These were common knowledge in the Lord's World.

In the Lord's World, every month has thirty days, but one day lasts forty-eight hours—on this day, the moon is red, not the usual white.

The Red Moon lasts thirty-six hours.

The daytime lasts twelve hours.

This is a perfectly normal celestial phenomenon.

Lords have long grown accustomed to it.

Even Lu Cang, a man from another world, accepted it as common sense.

The other twenty-nine days are just like his past life: twenty-four hours, sun by day, white moon by night.

No significant difference.

As for the Saint Class, it was even more widely known.

"Actually, the Red Moon isn't entirely ordinary."

"On the day of the Red Moon, one ascends to the Saint Class."

"No matter what lord, to reach the Saint Class, must complete the ritual on the day of the Red Moon."

"One of the ritual's required items is the territory core of a cursed one."

Upon hearing this answer,

Lu Cang's expression grew slightly grave.

Of course, under the effect of his mimicry, Lu Cang always maintained a calm expression.

This was indeed a secret he had never known.

Are cursed ones necessary to ascend to the Saint Class?

Does that mean, to produce a Saint Class,

one must bring cursed ones into the Lord's World?

If all cursed ones died in the real world,

the world would never produce a Saint Class lord.

Then… did the Alliance tacitly permit cursed ones to enter the Lord's World?

"This world once had no Saint Class lords."

"The highest rank a lord could reach was Tenth Class."

"But one day, a being discovered a method to break beyond the Tenth Class territory and reach a new, supreme realm."

"Can you guess who this person was?"

Lu Cang shook his head.

"No, I won't guess."

Lu Cang never played games like "guess who."

"Too boring."

"It's one of the people you know best."

"And our savior."

Hearing this, Lu Cang's mind already had the answer.

"Right, it's Elix."

"One of the Alliance's three founders, the creator of the Zuzhou Society, the strongest cursed one, Death Catastrophe, the First Catastrophe, the first Saint Class lord, a mad researcher, the discoverer of the Second Lord Passage, Elix." Beg.
