Chapter 165: 166

Heroic Spirits were specialty products of Morningstar Plane that possessed both the characteristics of living beings and creatures of law. Some could come back from the dead, while others could reproduce naturally.

Gu Nan's side quest this time, the twin Heroic Spirits, belonged to the latter category. They were almost no different from living beings.

Gu Nan didn't know who forcibly sealed these two Heroic Spirits and even used a treasure like the Sun Moon Enchanted Box—an item that could give rise to a guardian Heroic Spirit was naturally a treasure.

But that didn’t matter. Since the side quest had nothing to do with the box, then Gu Nan didn’t mind destroying it.

Of course, while Gu Nan didn’t mind, someone else did.

After Gu Nan destroyed the moon box with brute force, the bearded old man’s image swayed and flickered, his form blurring until his entire body resembled a ghost.

He trembled as he fluttered in front of Gu Nan, crying while begging Gu Nan not to break the other box while hurriedly opening the seal of the sun box.

Since the bearded old man voluntarily opened the second box, Gu Nan naturally wasn’t interested in opening it with his bare hands again.

As soon as the sun box was opened, a puff of smoke also came out, but this time it was more lively and fiery.

This time, what formed in mid-air was a Heroic Spirit that looked like a small boy. He was already awake, staring at Gu Nan and the old man with big eyes.

After staring at the two for a long time, he finally confirmed that Gu Nan was the one in charge. His little face tightened and asked, "Who are you?"

"In a certain sense, I’m your father."

……

When Lin Duo returned to her room, she was still expecting to see Gu Nan already inside, waiting to give her a surprise.

The answer, of course, was that she thought too much.

"What even! And he actually claims to be my Heroic Spirit. He’s too irresponsible…" Classmate Lin Duo muttered and sat down on the bed resentfully.

The next moment, Gu Nan's figure slowly appeared in front of her while holding the hands of two children behind him—a boy and a girl—that looked like they were carved out of jade.

Lin Duo’s first reaction was slight embarrassment. After all, she had been caught red-handed speaking ill of Gu Nan, but her attention was soon pulled away.

"So!! Cute!!!”

After a heaven-piercing roar, the two children quickly fell into Classmate Lin Duo's hands. The heart of a young girl made her burst with amazing potential.

“What… What are their names?” Lin Duo asked Gu Nan while rubbing the two children’s faces.

"You can call me 'Moon', Big Sister," the moon spirit spoke before Gu Nan had a chance to respond, revealing a gentle smile.

"Ohh, whoa, whoa, whoa, what a nice voice!" Lin Duo couldn't resist the amazing charm of the sun and moon spirits, and her gaze shifted to the sun spirit. "What about you?"

The little boy sun spirit turned his head away coolly and completely ignored her.

Gu Nan answered for him, "Ri[1]."

Lin Duo stared at him blankly, getting the feeling that something didn’t sound right, but Gu Nan didn't give her a chance to say more. He said directly, "They are twin Heroic Spirits, you can sign a contract with them."

Gu Nan's main mission was to kill the moon thrall’s child. Protecting the sun and moon spirits was just a side quest. But before everything else, he first had to ensure Lin Duo’s safety.

So he decided to have Lin Duo sign a contract with the twin Heroic Spirits so that he could protect them together, and if necessary, he could sacrifice the Heroic Spirits to protect Lin Duo.

For a top player, sometimes it was acceptable to sacrifice a side quest for more profit.

"Ahhh! Is that really okay?!” Lin Duo’s head was completely overwhelmed by joy as she asked excitedly.

While a Heroic Spirit summoner could contract with multiple Heroic Spirits, this was bound to dilute the effect of the summoner’s blessings on the Heroic Spirits, so it was necessary to obtain the consent of the already-contracted Heroic Spirits before making contracts with new ones.

If the Heroic Spirit summoner forcibly signed a new contract without the old Heroic Spirit’s consent, it could easily result in the old Heroic Spirit’s betrayal.

As for Gu Nan, he had no such problem at all; he never expected Lin Duo to help him with any blessings.

Lin Duo was excited about this. Let alone the fact that “twin Heroic Spirits” sounded powerful no matter how she looked at it, she absolutely had to contract with them because they looked like a shota and a loli!

"Thank you, Mr. Gu Nan. You really are a good person!" Even though she was excited, Lin Duo didn't forget to send Gu Nan a good person card.

Gu Nan shamelessly accepted it, while the sun spirit curled his lips. "Is this idiotic older sister our contractor?"

Lin Duo's face suddenly darkened. Fortunately, the moon spirit saved the scene in time, "Big Sister, we’ll be relying on you in the future!"

‘As expected, little girls are cuter…’ Lin Duo complained in her heart.

But soon she would understand that the honest and frank boy was actually cuter.

……

Early the next morning, when Lin Duo went downstairs with the sun and moon spirits, her sister Lin Ke almost got breakfast up her nose.

"This… What is this? ! Who are they!" Lin Ke pointed to her sister. "Lin Duo, you’re not even that old! But you… But they…"

Lin Duo was taken aback, then immediately realized that her sister had misunderstood something, and her face turned bright red. "Sister, let me explain. They’re not…"

The sun spirit still had a cool look on his face, while the moon spirit tugged on Lin Duo’s clothes and mumbled, “Mom, I’m hungry.”

Lin Duo: "…"

……

After throwing the sun and moon spirits to Lin Duo, Gu Nan left her house again.

The sun and moon spirit protection mission didn’t specify a time limit, so based on Gu Nan's past experience, it would probably last until the end of the dungeon—upon clearing the main mission—or until the dungeon was forced to end early.

There was no reward for failing the dungeon’s mission, so now he had to find a way to complete the main mission.

At present, the main clue Gu Nan had was only the words “moon thrall’s child.”

He had already identified the moon thrall as a kind of ancient Heroic Spirit, but what did its child mean? Was it a descendant of the moon thrall, or was it a Heroic Spirit summoner connected to the moon thrall?

In addition, there was the moon spirit in the side quest. Since they both had “moon” in their names, did the moon spirit have anything to do with the moon thrall’s child?

All kinds of questions emerged in Gu Nan's mind. In the absence of sufficient information, Gu Nan was unable to make more judgments, but he planned to conduct an in-depth investigation now.

He found mentions of the moon thrall Heroic Spirit in Lin Duo's high school library, so Gu Nan immediately visited all the major libraries, trying to find more clues.

But disappointingly, he didn't find any new or useful information.

Perhaps modern data’s understanding of the phrase “moon thrall” was only to that extent, and there was no more in-depth information to be found anywhere.

Just when Gu Nan couldn't find a clue, a voice with a flattering smile sounded in his ear, "My Lord, are you looking for the moon thrall?"

The guardian Heroic Spirit of the Sun Moon Enchanted Box was currently a blurry-looking old man, floating around Gu Nan carefully.

The box was still in Gu Nan's hands. He forgot to return it to Lin Duo yesterday. Anyway, the latter's attention was glued to the sun and moon spirits, so she didn’t notice anything amiss.

"You know about it?" Gu Nan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It’s also an ancient legend, so this old man naturally knows about it."

The old man subconsciously tried to look mysterious, but when he saw Gu Nan's dangerous gaze, he quickly smiled apologetically. "It's just that this old man is like this now… My Lord, please have mercy and save my life!"
