My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

He was surprised to find that the Snow Knight was still standing not far away, seemingly wanting to talk to him alone.

Weiss paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly walked up to the other person.

The snow knight, arms crossed, asked:

"What are your plans after you, Selenis, leave?"

"Are you going to the royal city to seek refuge with the Lunette family?"

"The Lunette family...?"

Weiss was slightly taken aback.

He had never heard of this name before.

"You don't even know?"

The Snow Knight raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone seemingly incredulous and speechless.

"It's the family that Adele Selenes' mother comes from. They're a very prestigious and powerful family in the royal city."

"I thought that someone as profit-driven as you would have investigated this relationship thoroughly long ago..."

"have no idea......"

"Let's see what Adele decides."

Despite being mocked so sarcastically by the Snow Knight, Weiss didn't react much and didn't bother to retaliate.

After all, that was the persona he had cultivated in front of outsiders.

A slightly fledgling...

The Snow Knight stared at Weiss's unyielding attitude and remained silent for a moment.

In the end, I couldn't resist and added another word of advice:

"You'd better watch yourself."

"Eleven bottles of Tier 7 potions are definitely not a trivial matter that can be easily dismissed."

"While the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce can't control everything, once they really put your name on their blacklist—"

"Your situation in the Lunette family afterward will definitely not be good."

"Um......"

Weiss nodded neither too hard nor too softly.

For some reason, he could clearly sense that there was a hint of obscure goodwill hidden in the Snow Knight's seemingly indifferent words.

It seems this guy isn't as cold-hearted as the rumors suggest.

Or perhaps...

In fact, the higher-ups at Night Patrol don't really like the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.

Snow Knight is probably secretly gloating over how he really screwed over the Starry Sky Merchant Guild this time.

Soon, the workers of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce had loaded the last batch of goods onto the carriages.

Weiss then nodded goodbye to the Snow Knight and turned to walk towards the direction of the Serenes family mansion.

...

Back at the mansion.

Goods from the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce were also packed and shipped over.

Once again, when no one was around, Weiss secretly activated the park and confiscated all the goods. Then, he patiently waited for Adele's decision.

I thought the results would be available the next day.

However, what he never expected was—

Adele actually slept for three days and three nights straight.

She didn't react at all no matter how many times the maids went in and out, and she fell into a deep sleep like a vegetable. In the end, it was Aunt Bai who went in to check on her and told everyone not to disturb her anymore.

It seems Adele was really exhausted from this trip to the Dark World; she probably didn't close her eyes for the entire time.

It wasn't until noon on the fourth day that Adele finally woke up.

After eating a few bites, she slowly began to arrange the various matters related to the relocation.

Over the past three days, many ordinary people have left Moonlit City with their families.

Those who have chosen to stay are mostly nobles who are reluctant to give up their mansions and status.

They were unwilling to give up their hard-earned foundation and assets, and they protested almost every day at the entrance of the night patrol branch, repeatedly demanding that headquarters send more troops to guard the city, vowing to live and die with Moonlit City.

Vera and her family haven't left yet either.

I heard that her older brother, Nyon, has been extremely busy lately.

The first thing Adele did after waking up was to include the Hayes family on the mandatory evacuation list, and she even specially selected several of her own night patrol members to escort the family on their way.

As for Weiss...

He's been quite idle these past few days, hardly doing anything bad.

After Adele woke up, Weiss and Aunt White sat on the sofa next to her and watched her slowly drink tea as she dealt with the mountain of documents.

Adele spent most of the day engrossed in her work.

It wasn't until late at night that she finally put down her pen and looked up at Weiss, who had been doing nothing all day, with a hint of helplessness.

“Weiss…”

"Although I really want to evacuate with you, there's still a mess to clean up in Moonlit City. In most cases, we'll have to wait until the very end to get away."

"You... don't wait any longer. Can you take Elune and Aunt Bai and leave Moonlit City first tomorrow?"

Weiss nodded decisively, almost without hesitation.

"I'll do whatever you say."

. "

Aunt Bai, who was squatting on the coffee table, couldn't help but chime in upon hearing this:

"Adele, don't try to be strong on your own and drag this out for too long."

"Even at your pace, it would take at least several days to retreat from here back to the border region."

Adele shook her head.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, it won't take too long."

"We'll catch up with you soon."

Weiss and Aunt Bai exchanged a glance, looking at each other knowingly but without saying a word.

Seeing that Aunt Bai quietly nodded at him, Weiss didn't say anything more and just silently agreed.

Adele, a veteran Tier 7 transcendent, is probably not someone I need to worry about.

...

The next morning.

A long, seemingly endless procession of carriages was parked in front of the Selenis family mansion.

Besides the overflowing valuable goods, even the maids who had served Adele and Elune for over a decade and were practically family were also being evacuated with them.

Adele clearly places great importance on Elune's safety.

For this escort mission alone, she dispatched five of her main night patrol officers.

Besides Mona and Oliver, there were three other Night Patrol members who looked quite familiar.

Weiss and Oliver exchanged a glance from afar, both remaining silent, the atmosphere inexplicably subtle.

Who could have imagined that Oliver's return to the Selenes family would take such a turn...

We've seen plenty of Dragon Kings returning.

This is my first time being a bodyguard...

Then, Weiss called for the help of several maids to gently carry the sleeping Elune to the most luxurious carriage.

There were only two people in the carriage: Shen and Elune.

In addition to Aunt Bai, there's also Hakimi.

Finally, the butler Sebastian himself took the reins and drove the chariot.

As for the long line of carriages following behind, they were filled with maids and goods.

The carriage specially prepared for Ellu469 was very spacious inside. It even had a soft bed, enough for her to lie completely flat, so the journey wouldn't be too bumpy. 064

Adele stayed in the car for more than ten minutes before reluctantly getting out.

As they parted, she handed a bottle of medicine to Weiss.

"Weiss, take this."

"If possible, it would be best to drink it as soon as you set off..."

Weiss took it.

It turned out to be an advanced potion for an 8th-level climate master.

It is clear that Adele does not know her specific sequence.

However, he appreciated the sentiment.

Thank you, sister.

"Um......"

Adele was clearly not used to being addressed so intimately by Weiss, and her expression was somewhat unnatural.

Then, she turned to look at the white cat next to her with a strange expression.

"Aunt Bai, I'm entrusting Elune to you."

"OK......"

Aunt Bai nodded slightly.

Adele lifted the curtain and stepped out of the car.

The convoy officially set off.

Weiss sat casually on the outer cushions, one hand supporting his chin, silently watching the scenery receding into the distance until the Selenes family mansion was no longer in sight.

When we arrived at the city gate.

The crowds were even more dense than Weiss had imagined.

Almost every minute, ordinary people, with their families and the elderly and children, moved out of the city, forming a densely packed, seemingly endless line.

Fortunately, the night patrol members on duty at the city gate were very dedicated, constantly distributing dry food and maps to the residents in line along the way, and trying their best to maintain order.

Judging from their words of reassurance to the public—

There seemed to be several campsites set up along the way specifically for resting and resupplying.

It's not to the point that these migrants would starve to death on their way to escape.

After observing for a moment, Weiss closed the curtains again and casually asked, turning his head:

"Aunt Bai, we're going to the Lunette family in the royal city next, right?"

Aunt Bai was taking a nap by the window.

Upon hearing this, she opened her eyes in surprise and turned to look at Weiss:

"Huh? You knew that?"

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, I was married out of the Lunet family in the royal city along with Adele and Elune's mother."

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Thinking back now, I really feel nostalgic..."

Aunt Bai murmured to herself with some emotion.
