The Crescent Moon Duo the Continent Explorer

CHAPTER 27: THE NIGHT OF INDULGENCE

The full moon shone brightly, illuminating several buildings in the Firmament kingdom. The beautiful scenery is only felt by residents of the city of Giga and the surrounding cities.

A small shadow ran quickly on the roof of the residents' house. Some people in the city of Giga are already sound asleep, they do not see or feel the existence of the creature. From a distance, the small figure was like a 3-year-old.

The little figure ran all over the city. He observed every waking citizen, it seemed like the figure was looking for something. Arriving at a place, the figure suddenly disappeared like swallowed by darkness.

...*********...

"Wine! the blue pomegranate is gone!" shouted a panicked soldier, so panicked he barged into the meeting room.

The people in the room immediately stood up. A chief pointed at the soldier and said angrily. "How could it be that it's gone! hurry up and find that blue pomegranate!"

"Yes." Yeah."

One of the meeting participants came out of the room and followed all the soldiers in search of the blue pomegranate stone. The meeting room was now without guards, they left the higher-ups without a second thought.

"Chairman's report, all battalions have been deployed. But until now we have not found a clue" said one man, saluting him, wearing a white armour complete with a sword and shield.

"What exactly happened?! who's the guy who stole the blue pomegranate stone. According to the reports I received, the stone was kept in a tight guard by dozens of well-armed elite soldiers" said a bewildered man. From his appearance the man had a higher rank than other warriors.

The heavy sound of footsteps back and forth was not unusual, all fully armed soldiers combed every corner of the city. The gates of Giga city were immediately closed and heavily guarded by soldiers.

The houses of the people did not go unchecked. The soldiers asked the homeowner for permission to search the house. The residents of Giga city allowed their homes to be searched, they also took part in searching for the existence of blue pomegranate stone.

The dim lights of the residents again lit up the city, the atmosphere of the night was very crowded. Tens to hundreds of soldiers filled the streets of the city of Giga.

When everyone was busy, a pair of small feet hanging on the roof watched. The little feet were pale white like corpses.

"Haha... It turns out that the soldiers in this city are not what I imagined. They were all busy looking for the thief in every corner of the city, except for the roof of the people's house," the little figure plucked while eating the money.

The small figure is Ludra, he is one of Nusa's subordinates. Ludra was assigned by her master to find as much information as possible, in between her work she took the time to steal some coins and blue pomegranate stones.

Ludra accidentally steals a citizen's coin to survive, she does not use the coin to buy food, but she eats the coin to survive. For the tuyul race money is their staple food.

Ludra raised the blue pomegranate stone up into the sky, she pointed it towards the moon. The stone in his hand emitted a beautiful blue light, the blue light was produced from the reflection of the moonlight.

"Why is this ugly rock so dear to the royal people? I'd better take her as a souvenir." Ludra put the stone into her waiting room, then she disappeared.

Plakkc...

"Quickly find that stone! if you can't find it until dawn, then I'll fire you!" snapped at an angry man, he hit his subordinates in annoyance.

The man who kept on beating his boss could only endure the pain. He muttered inwardly, "I've searched everywhere for that stone, but that ugly rock I can't find."

After being content to beat up his subordinates, the man left without any guilt. He walked quickly in the Corridor with a dead red face. Everyone did not dare to stare at the man, they would duck when the man passed by.

After an hour of searching, they could not find the blue pomegranate. The castle where the mayor of Giga lived suddenly crowded by the footsteps of soldiers who went back and forth.

"I think it's all because of our negligence, not because of someone's plan. Even if that's true, there can't be an outsider who knows the location of the blue pomegranate," another man said as he sat in the chair.

Currently 6 people were sitting in a circle on a round table. They each wear different clothes. The clothes they wear are not arbitrary, some look like commanders, prime ministers, scientists, and government officials.

"How about we report this situation to the king" suggested a man dressed in military attire.

"Don't joke! if the king finds out, not only will you be put to death, we'll come, too" another man snapped across the table.

The man who always put on a calm face said softly. "I think there's a traitor among us, because only the insiders know the location of the stone."

Suddenly the meeting room became silent, no one responded to the man's words. The emergency meeting ended without finding a solution.

...*********...

Nusa, Tara and Vienna are busy hunting for food in the market, they are willing to rush to get good food.

Arzak City is a famous tourist destination throughout the continent. Many entertainment places that spoil the tourists, one of which is the Salwa market.

There are many markets that must be visited by tourists, but the most visitors is the Salwa market. This market serves culinary typical of the city of Arzak delicious, there are also traders who sell culinary typical of other cities that are no less delicious. All culinary in the market only sells typical food from the kingdom of Bhayangkara. No wonder the tourists will be difficult to find food typical of other kingdoms.

Salwa Market is open 2 times a day. First the market will open in the morning, usually the traders sell special food for breakfast. Then the market will reopen when the sun goes down, the visitors are very much looking forward to the Salwa market open at night.

The state of the Salwa market in the morning and at night is very different. At night tourists are presented with a beautiful view of the lights that illuminate the road.

When the night air begins to cool, the tourists will be spoiled by the warm food and drinks sold by the traders. Night is the paradise of culinary lovers, people can enjoy good food at affordable prices.

"It's less exciting if there's no booze, about where do you sell liquor?" tara asked curiously, both hands were filled with five-foot snacks.

Vienna took a heavy breath and said. "Kingdom Bhayangkara prohibits all types of liquor in the trade. If caught breaking.. kekkk.. die!"

Uhuk...

Nusa choked on hearing it, then asked Vienna. "Why does the government ban it? not that business is so profitable."

"Emmm... Maybe the government can reap huge profits from the sale of liquor. But the risks they will face are not worth the benefits. Consuming liquor for a long time is very dangerous to the health of the people. Usually the other impact of liquor is that crime will increase rapidly, if crime is rampant then the kingdom is difficult to handle it," said Vienna while focusing on the hot cauldron containing appetizing food.

"I think something that harms yourself or others should be avoided," said Nusa while hitting Tara's buttocks, "You don't be so moody! look, there's still a lot of good drinks in there."

The gloomy Tara returned cheerful, now she ran towards the crowd and was busy jostling for the sake of buying a good meal.

"Night is still long, we should enjoy without any burden. Oh yeah, I forgot something, but what?" Nusa felt forgotten something important, but he did not remember and got carried away. An evening at the Salwa market is really fun.

Nusa and Tara carried away the beautiful night and forgot something important. When they remember, they may be too late.
