The autumn wind rustled—it was almost October.
It had been more than 20 days since the second recruitment in Blackmoon Castle.
The ground inside the castle was filled with huge dark jade slabs. There were at least a few thousand of them. If they were combined, they would form a wall that was several kilometers long.
About 30 Blackmoon Knights sat on the hill of stone slabs; they wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
"The three-month winter will be here in two months. At that time, magical beasts will come out from the dense fog forest to plunder for food. It is not usually easy to survive the winter, but this year will be different," a guard said.
"Yes, I didn't dare to close my eyes whenever I slept during the winter. I was afraid that once I closed my eyes, magical beasts would come into my house! However, we don't have to be afraid while we're in the castle. I will also bring my family here in a month," another guard spoke.
