Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 562 - 502 Moon’s Child

"Knock, knock, knock"

The sound of knocking came, waking Kane, who was dozing off on Cotton Candy, from his slumber.

As the knocking continued, Mo Yi's voice sounded from outside the door.

"Lord Kane, it's time for breakfast."

So, it's already morning?

Because of the Golden Bridge in the sky, which constantly emits golden light, there's no night on this continent, making it impossible for Kane to distinguish day from night here.

This has led the people of this world to lose the concept of day and night, with their worldview perceiving the world as perpetual daylight.

The entire world has no space for nocturnal life.

Thus, the work and rest times in the town are quite chaotic, but the residents have long been accustomed to it.

"I'll be right there."

With these words, Kane got up and pulled open the bed curtain.

Then he opened the door to let Mo Yi in, while he went to the adjacent bathroom for a quick wash.

Used to the situations outside, this bathroom still requires manually drawing water, something he's yet to fully get used to over these few days.

A bit outdated.

Mo Yi's petite figure carefully balanced a tray and placed the food on the table one item at a time.

After completing all this, she waited by the side, with her gaze fixed on Cotton Candy.

Noticing her gaze, Cotton Candy made a funny face, earning a giggle from her.

Kane finished washing up, sat by the table, and started eating breakfast, casually asking Mo Yi who was beside him.

"Did you drink the potion I gave you yesterday? Did it have any effect?"

Upon hearing Kane's words, Mo Yi excitedly said, "It worked! I can feel my body being a bit healthier, not as frail as before, nearly reaching the same standard as my clansmen."

Kane nodded upon hearing Mo Yi's words.

He's been in this town for three days now.

Since coming here, he learned about Mo Yi's race when he brought it up to Meizike at the Guild Hall.

Meizike was quite interested in this race and requested Mo Yi's physical examination data from Youyou.

This examination was conducted on Kane's behalf by Youyou who stealthily scanned it, as he was curious about the extent of Mo Yi's frailty.

Then, the night before last, Meizike used the warehouse feature to give Kane a vial of potion.

He asked Kane to try it on Mo Yi.

Later, Kane learned that Mo Yi was among the frailest of her clan.

And now, the potion brought her to the clan's average level. The effect might not be outstanding, but at least it's effective.

Having something is better than nothing.

"Good to know it's effective."

With emotion in her voice, Mo Yi said, "Thank you, Lord Kane! You're a good person. No one has ever..."

Upon hearing Mo Yi's words, Kane stood up and patted her head gently.

"No need to thank me; I'm doing this with a purpose."

Looking at Mo Yi, whose figure was like that of an eight or nine-year-old girl, Kane sighed.

Over these past few days, he's also met other members of Mo Yi's clan.

Her clansmen all have such figures, each looking like seven or eight-year-old girls, with delicate features resembling a doll.

Their skin is thin and slightly translucent, and though their bodies are frail, their internal magic power has reached the Silver level.

Such appearances inexplicably subject them to bullying and discrimination, even though the entire clan is under Pedi's protection, ordinary civilians still do so.

This was incomprehensible to Kane.

While wandering around the village and towns over these few days, he noticed that many civilians originally had no contact with these girls.

This doesn't explain why they are constantly bullied and oppressed.

In the end, Kane directly sought out a civilian who bullied them for interrogation.

But according to these civilians, they simply harbor inexplicable aversion.

This phenomenon was strange, which piqued Kane's curiosity to understand why this situation occurs.

He also conversed with some elders of Mo Yi's clan.

They have completely lost their historical records, leaving only one or two hundred individuals, making it difficult to expect any past documentation or explanations for their current state.

Since if such a race were always like this, they surely wouldn't have survived till now.

At that moment, an information screen from the Book of Adventure appeared before Kane.

[Bond with Mo Yi linked]

?

Looking at Mo Yi, whose head he was patting.

Even such simple acts of help are enough to make her willing to stand by Kane's side without crossing boundaries?

One can only imagine how harsh their living conditions have been in the past.

The slightest gesture of kindness is enough to etch them in their hearts.

But now that a bond is linked, it's also an opportunity.

Kane crouched down, looking at the tear-wiping Mo Yi.

Seeing Kane staring at her, Mo Yi quickly wiped away her tears.

"Lord Kane."

Though Kane had addressed this title countless times, Mo Yi still couldn't change it.

So he let her be.

A Contract Scroll appeared in Kane's hand, which he handed to Mo Yi in front of him.

Mo Yi took it and looked at Kane, asking, "Lord Kane, this is..."

"Employment contract. Once signed, you're officially my subordinate. How about it? Willing?" Kane joked.

"Yes, I'm willing."

Mo Yi nodded vigorously in affirmation.
