New World Alliance, Songjia Mountain, night.

On the roof of the hotel, Wu Yue was shaking a plate of jelly in his hand boredly.

One red and one green, they look like two moons in the sky, their texture is crystal clear and there seems to be twinkling stars in them.

It is as exquisite as a work of art, and one cannot bear to destroy its beauty.

Moonlight jelly, just as its name suggests.

Beora said that one of the ingredients used to make it is the nectar of a flower that only blooms on moonlit nights.

It only blooms on moonlit nights. What a willful flower...

As if he had finally made up his mind, Wu Yue gently scooped a spoonful with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

Sweet, floral, chewy...

It is indeed a rare delicacy.

"how is the taste?"

Moon's voice came from beside him.

She is still so elusive and silent.

"good."

"Not bad... huh? I thought you'd like it very much."

"Because you like it, right?"

"In the past, I liked it before."

Moon chuckled.

"That..." (speaking in unison)

"......You go first."

Wuyue said.

"You really can't remember anything about the past?"

Wu Yue didn't expect that Moon was very roundabout in other matters, but he was very straightforward in this matter...

"Yes, I don't remember anything."

"Have you ever thought about the reason?"

Wu Yue certainly knew the reason. Her master had said that it was most likely because Moon's arrival had occupied this part of her memory, which served as the foundation of her existence in this world.

But Wu Yue didn't want to say it.

Perhaps out of sympathy, Wu Yue actually didn't want another self to disappear like this. At the same time, Wu Yue also knew what he would do after learning this secret.

She will definitely return this memory.

It was not about telling Wu Yue everything that had happened, but about returning these memories intactly, along with her existence.

Because of putting himself in the other person's shoes, Wu Yue would do the same and return everything that does not belong to him to the person who deserves it.

"I do not know."

Wu Yue said calmly, hoping Moon wouldn't delve into it any further.

"Do you need me to help you recall the past?"

Moon's answer was somewhat beyond Wu Yue's expectations.

"Help me remember?"

"do you need?"

To be honest, Wu Yue really wants to know his own life experience, but he is not mentally prepared at all. Can he accept it?

"...How much do you know?"

Wu Yue asked tentatively.

"What do you mean? What do I know? What do you want to know?"

"I want to know what happened before I came to Dorok, before I was nine years old. I want to know who my parents are. I want to know everything."

Hearing Wu Yue's request, Moon shook his head.

"Before I was nine years old, it's been so long that I can't remember it clearly..."

"How old are you?"

"I do not want to say."

I don't want to say it, but he must be quite old.

"Don't worry, even though I don't remember it clearly, I definitely know more than you."

Changing the subject, Moon looked up at the moon, opened his red lips slightly under the mask, and began to tell the story.

......

"When I started to remember things, I was about three years old. At that time, I lived with my mother in a simple wooden house in the forest..."

"Is there a big tree next to the house and a pond in front of it?"

Wuyue asked.

"Don't you remember this?"

"No, there is a special reason why I can remember this fragment..."

The only time I recalled it was when I was forced to recall the fragments under the interference of the dream-eating beast. The only things I remember are these few features.

Moon did not ask why, but continued:

"We don't have a father. All I remember is our mother. She never mentions him, and even when I ask, she always avoids answering."

"But it doesn't matter. Not having a father is not something to be regretted. Maybe he is a good man with unspeakable sufferings, or maybe he is a bastard who abandoned his wife and children. Who cares?"

"Although we live in a forest, it's not far from populated areas. If I remember correctly, there is a market in the Alliance. We buy our daily food and clothing there."

"It's strange, my mother doesn't have a job, but she has endless money. I've never seen my family worry about food and clothing."

"But on the other hand, Mom's interpersonal relationships... how should I put it? She's not very popular. People in the market treat her badly. Of course, as a result, they are not very friendly to us either..."

“I later found out that my mother was driven out of the tribe.”

"why?"

Wu Yue asked quickly.

"I'm not sure about this, but I always feel that it has something to do with my mother's appearance, because when we were young, the most insults we heard were directed at our hair."

As Moon spoke, he subconsciously took off the hood of his mask, revealing a delicate yet weathered face that looked exactly like Wu Yue's, and white hair that was slightly longer than Wu Yue's.

"I've heard that white is rare among orcs?"

Wuyue asked.

"Rare? It would be fine if that were the case. In fact, those people believe that albino orcs will bring misfortune, and some even think it is a curse. I think my mother was expelled from the clan because of this..."

But Wu Yue thought back to the orcs he had met before. They had never expressed similar opinions about his white hair, thinking it was a bad omen or anything like that, and it was very natural for them to get along with him.

"So you don't know the specific reason either?"

"I didn't have the ability to understand it at the time, and I don't want to understand it now. Since they abandoned my mother, they have nothing to do with me anymore."

"Then why did you leave that place and go to the other side?"

"In fact, this matter did not happen overnight. In the first few years, although I was looked down upon, I was still able to get by. But I don't know when my mother's health started to deteriorate..."

"She would sneak to the water's edge and cough every night, just to prevent me from hearing her. She began to lose strength and couldn't lift anything heavy. Once she got hurt, even the smallest wound would be difficult to heal..."

"I didn't understand it at the time, but later when I thought about it, I realized that my mother was sick, with a disease I had never heard of. Until now, I still don't know what the disease is."

Hearing this, Wu Yue's heart skipped a beat.

The originally blurry face of my mother in my mind gradually became clearer through my imagination.

A pale, bloodless, weak yet loving face.

Even if there is a tiny chance that his mother is still alive, Wu Yue will not give up looking for her.

But now, knowing that her mother had suffered from a rare disease, the tiny hope in Wu Yue's heart was almost extinguished...
