Chapter Thirty-Three - Moonlight over Irithyll of the Valley
"Moonlight Arrows: Enchanted golden arrows used by the Darkmoon Knights."
Legend has it that the former Grand Master of the Darkmoon Knights possessed a golden bow to match it. There is also a legend that the arrows bear the gaze of Dark Elijah, deterring outlaws who oppose the linking of the First Flame from looking directly at them.
Playing with the enchanted golden arrow, Lu Ming put his phone away, pondering the issue of weapons.
"The Sage's Candlestick is gone too. Are we going to ask Yusahar for a Dark Sword to use?"
At that moment, a shadowy figure crept up behind Lu Ming, reaching out a delicate, white hand to grab the Moonlight Arrow from his hand. But...
"Yusaha, what did we say? No stealing, remember?" Lu Ming grabbed the hand, forcibly pulled the owner of the hand onto his back, and asked with a smile.
"I forgot. I'm sorry!" Yusaha laughed and put his arm around Lu Ming's neck, but his blue eyes were fixed on the Moonlight Arrow in Lu Ming's hand, as if he were a cat looking at dried fish.
"Aren't you going to work today? I remember you had already finished three classes by this time last year, right?"
"I've taught you almost all of my magic, so I took a few days off to spend some quality time with you."
"I bet you're waiting for the third instance, aren't you?"
How could you say that to me? I'm your fiancée too!
Lu Ming chuckled and patted Yusaha's face, putting away the Moonlight Arrow as he teased, "It would be more convincing if you hadn't been looking at this golden arrow the whole time you were saying that."
After saying that, Lu Ming took Yusaha's hand and led him to the sofa, where he sat down in Yusaha's lap.
“We don’t need to rush things about the magic academy. You and I are still just magic apprentices, and even if we open a school, we won’t have enough teachers. So you don’t need to be like this, thinking about exchanging anything good for money.” Holding Yusaha’s delicate body and her soft hand, Lu Ming whispered in Yusaha’s ear.
"I understand all those principles, but I just want to have enough money first, and then... Ah! You rascal, where are you touching?"
After giving Yusaha a squeeze on the chest, Lu Ming said with a smile, "Then take a look at the daily tasks on your phone. I'm sure you've already received them."
"The moonlight of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley?" Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Yusaha immediately took out his phone. He paused slightly, looking at the newly added daily quest.
"That's right, the moonlight of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. Once those crescent wolves that give out quests arrive, the enchanters in town will probably be crying their eyes out! Because the enchanted arrows from my hometown, Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, are no ordinary stuff!"
"Wait a minute, since this task was only issued today, how did you get it?"
“My dear Yusahar, have you forgotten that I am from Irithyll of the Boreal Valley? I can get supplies directly from people back home!” Seeing Yusahar’s suspicious and slightly silly look, Lu Ming hugged Yusahar and told a lie.
-----------------------------------
Around noon, Lu Ming's adjutant, Karsas, along with his superior and three colleagues, arrived at Lu Ming's home and forcibly dragged him out of the idyllic world of Yusaha, Lily, and Sham.
"Hey boss, where are we going?" Lu Ming, who was being led by two colleagues from the city security and criminal investigation departments, was a little confused about what he had done wrong and asked his superior who was walking in front of him.
"Let's go to the park."
"Where to? The park? Is it a holiday or something?"
"It's not a holiday, it's you working overtime!"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? You'll see for yourself!"
Soon, Lu Ming was dragged into the park.
As soon as Lu Ming entered the park, he saw two huskies, each as big as a horse-drawn carriage, rolling around on the grass...
With a bewildered expression, Lu Ming looked at the two huskies rolling around and throwing a tantrum on the grass and asked speechlessly, "Whose dogs are these? Aren't they going to do anything about them? They'll destroy the grass in no time."
"Whose dog is this?" Lu Ming's boss turned around with a chuckle, a sinister smile that made Lu Ming subconsciously swallow.
Walking step by step up to Lu Ming, the boss patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and laughed, "You'd better keep your dog in check!"
After saying that, he left on his own, leaving Lu Ming and his colleagues and adjutant staring at each other, completely bewildered.
"Kamaina, the boss said those two huskies belong to my family, what's going on?" Lu Ming glanced at his two male colleagues who weren't good at talking, and had no choice but to ask Kamina.
"What's a husky? Is it a breed of dog?" Hearing Lu Ming's question, Camena paused for a moment before answering, "Those two are Crescent Wolves, blessed by the Wolf God of the forest. They're here because, like the tree spirits, they're issuing quests. However, they said the reward for their quests is enchanted arrows from your hometown, Irithyll of the Valley, so that's why the Viscount said they belonged to your family..."
"What the hell? These aren't wolves! They're clearly huskies! Look at these two rolling around like wolves, where do they look like wolves?" Upon hearing Camena's reply, Lu Ming excitedly broke free from his colleague's arm, pointed at the two large dogs that were clearly huskies, and complained.
"Um... this is a Crescent Wolf. Maybe in your hometown they think of Crescent Wolves as dogs?" A colleague from the city defense team touched his nose, looking elsewhere, and said.
"..." Lu Ming was choked half to death.
Unfortunately, since his boss had already assigned him the task of managing these two huskies, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the responsibility.
Together with his colleagues, Lu Ming walked step by step to the two huskies.
Before Lu Ming could speak, the two huskies interjected, "Hello, mages of Irithyll. We are Crescent Wolves from the forest, here on a mission ordered by the royal family of Irithyll. My name is Derry, and this one is Fenrir."
"The Devouring Giant Wolf?" Upon hearing the name of the other husky, Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"No, no, no! I don't have such a big mouth." Upon hearing Lu Ming's exclamation, the husky immediately shook its head, pointed to its mouth with its large paw, and said.
"..." Lu Ming stared at the husky with a dark expression, not knowing where to begin his rant.
Meanwhile, the group who had killed the contaminated giant wild boar with Lu Ming in the forest that morning had also heard the news and rushed to the park where the apple tree spirit and crescent wolf were. Even Likat, who wasn't short of money, did the same.
However, when they were initially just looking to learn about the new mission, their expressions turned sour after the two huskies each handed them a bag of Moonlight Arrows. They had mistakenly interpreted the mission as killing a large wild boar monster and were worried that it would send a bunch of them to their deaths.
But after Derlie explained the true requirements of the mission, they breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Lord Lu Ming, before we came here, Lord Wolf God asked us to deliver a message." After explaining the mission to Licarte and the others, Delier said to Lu Ming.
"A message?"
“Yes.” Derry nodded, then, disregarding whether anyone was around, said directly, “I am Gwyndolin, Grand Master of the Darkmoon Knights, the Abyss Watcher of Farron Keep. You must already know about me and are preparing to defeat Eldridge. However, wherever you are now, I hope you will not rashly throw your life away. Wait until the time is right before attacking Eldridge. Also, if possible, I hope you can rescue my sister, Yorshka. Shadow Sun Gwyndolin.”
"..." After hearing the message relayed by Derry, Lu Ming was completely dumbfounded. He had never imagined that the people of the Dark Souls world would know of his existence, and that they could send him a message through their local deities. And when did he join the Darkmoon Knights? Gwyndolin, you're practically poaching me! I'm a member of the Undead Legion!!
"Yorshka?" Just as Lu Ming was wondering what to say because of Gwyndolin's message, Yorshka, who had come with McCot, happened to hear the name of the current Darkmoon Knights commander. She narrowed her eyes, looked at Lu Ming, and asked, "When you heard my name that day, you looked at my tail because of this Yorshka, right?"
Seeing You'er Xika's expression that said "I'm unhappy, come and pat me," Lu Ming was speechless, but he still patted You'er Xika's little head and laughed, "How could that be!"
"That's for the best!" You'er Sika said, enjoying Lu Ming's head pat while feigning anger and letting out a cold snort.
Seeing Yu'er Sika like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, Yusahar's brother, Hax, looked at the Moonlight Arrow given to him by Crescent Wolf and suggested to the group, "Now that we have these enchanted arrows, it shouldn't be so difficult for us to clear out those wild boars. I just don't know how good everyone's archery skills are. How about we come to my place to practice?"
"Hmm... alright! But I need to go home and tell Yusahar, lest she kill me when I get home." After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming agreed to the suggestion, but requested to go home first. He then slowly shifted his gaze to the unscrupulous cat-man smoking not far away, and said with a sinister smile, "Kalthas, these two huskies are yours!"
"What is a husky? Is it tasty?" Fenrir raised its paw and asked.
"Forehead......"
"Husky is talking about both of us, you idiot!" Deliel slapped Fenrir on the head with a paw and yelled angrily.
"..."
While everyone remained silent, Karthus Menethil glanced at the two huskies and asked Lu Ming, "My daughter likes canines. Can I bring them home tonight?"
"As long as they don't bite, it's up to you."
"We don't bite!"
"Yes! We'll only bite the bones!"
"Hehehe, Crescent Moon Wolf..."

In my second playthrough, Gundyr died from a recoil attack—can you believe it? What happened to the promise of becoming stronger in the second playthrough?
Chapter Thirty-Four - The Shadow of the Sun
"You're going to that guy's house to practice archery!?"
When Lu Ming returned home, he told Yusaha about Hax's invitation to his residence to practice archery. Upon hearing this, she grabbed Lu Ming's clothes and angrily said, "You're not allowed to go!"
"Are the siblings really that bad off? I remember that day..."
"Sigh~" Yusaha sighed softly, struggled with his conscience for a moment, and then said, "You can go, but I'm going too!"
"I don't really understand. How can I go if you go first?"
Yusaha wrapped his arms around Lu Ming's neck, their faces close together as they looked into each other's eyes, and said, "I specifically took leave to spend time with you. But you tell me you want to..."
"Alright, alright! I give up. Shall we go together?" Hearing Yusaha say this, Lu Ming immediately picked her up and laughed.
"You bad boy." Yusaha, who was being picked up, hugged Lu Ming and scolded him with a laugh, then kissed Lu Ming's lips.
But while the two of them were kissing, Kanina hid in a corner, covering her mouth to keep from screaming. She had overheard what Yusaha's colleague had said to him yesterday. And now Yusaha had taken leave—wasn't that implying that Yusaha was only using Lu Ming?
How is she, the daughter of Lu Ming and Yusaha, supposed to conduct herself?
-----------------------------------
In the basement of Hax's mansion, Dex had already begun teaching Ricard, Fren, Hax, and others how to use a bow and arrow.
"When drawing the bow, try to use your index and middle fingers to pull the bowstring, and don't put all your fingers on the bowstring. The center of the bow should be parallel to your field of vision in order to shoot accurately!"
"You make it sound so easy! Let me give you a bow as long as you and see if you can shoot accurately!" Rafaam, standing to the side, retorted angrily upon hearing Dex's words.
“Seriously, these moon arrows are half your length. Why do you insist on learning shooting? It’s tiring and not very useful.” Sitting in her chair watching everyone miss the target, Yorshka swung her legs, tilted her head, and asked the dwarf Rafaam.
Upon hearing this, Rafaam replied somewhat angrily, "These enchanted arrows are my future source of income. If I can't demonstrate them to my customers, who will believe me?"
"How come you have the same idea as Yusahar?" Hax said jokingly after shooting another arrow and missing the target once again.
However, Hax never dreamed that Yusaha would say this while he and Lu Ming were entering the basement. He happened to hear the entire conversation.
What did you just say?
"It's nothing!" Upon hearing Yusaha's voice, the guilty-looking Haxton was immediately startled.
Seeing Hax standing straight up in fright, Lu Ming, who was holding Yusaha, couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Surprisingly, Hax, the brother-in-law, was afraid of Yusaha.
"You seem to be thinking about something bad." Yusaha suddenly said to him, which startled Lu Ming.
However, compared to how wretched Hax looked, Lu Ming was only slightly startled.
At this moment, Furen walked over, handed the bow and arrows to Lu Ming, and asked Yusaha, "Aren't you going to class today?"
"I took leave."
"You still ask for leave?"
Yusahar snorted coldly and retorted angrily, "I have a fiancé too, you know? I've been leaving him at home for half a month already. Do you think I can continue like this?"
"Who knows what you're thinking?"
