Chapter 1135: Chapter 914: Changing Strategies—Invite the Sage Prince for a Tour_2

Void, oh, such a layout, earlier encountered the Void Electric Spike in the Dark Sea. But this robbery was clearly the mermaids taking advantage of the chaos during the siege of Gem City to provide support!

Chun thought of a major issue: "It’s fine for us to escape, but the mermaids accepted a mission from the Empire. If they don’t complete it, they might lose their status as protectors of the Three Cities!"

Cui said, "Discuss this with the Guardian God, contact her via the commerce channel."

Ah!!

This whole way along, I was too immersed in the role, forgetting that we could chat via the commerce channel! No, the main thing is—it’s been so long... forgot there’s even a Black Flag Commerce Association. The last time I used Black Flag channel to contact Aziza and Nancy when I was imprisoned in Oak City...

Black Flag Commerce channel [Chun]: "Siren!"

Ha! I thought a Raven would pop up.

[Commerce Guardian God Siren]: "City Lord! Long time no see. You’re becoming more famous! Feeling the difference? It’s all due to my hard work, I’ve hijacked many ships!"

Embarrassed! How about I yield the City Lord position to you? The key is, I can’t.

Chun at least praised: "You’re really working hard, the island’s development has exceeded my expectations greatly. So, let’s talk about Mermaid Helen..."

Siren laughed and said: "So we didn’t plan to destroy this warship, just waiting to re-install the machine and leave the warship here for her to collect. Moreover, the Empire wouldn’t trust the Alien Race God anyway, she might as well quit."

Quit? She joins you? The key is, this mere act of collecting the ship isn’t much of a credit, is it? The Empire would immediately see the ship dismantled, secrets leaked, she failed in her duties, they won’t let her off!

Chun was anxious: "She’s a Guardian God of the Three Cities, how can she quit?"

Siren replied sombrely: "Aren’t the Three Cities the ones harming her? Now is her best chance to leave control and gain freedom."

Chun was a bit speechless: "It just feels..."

Siren sighed: "Not willing to let go? I understand, I’d feel the same. So, what are your plans, City Lord?"

What plan can I make?

The key is, Chun also thought of the Bronze Guardian God, he helped replicate the machine, to the Empire that’s a betrayal, right? What would he do afterward? I brought him here to win him over, for the advantage of having him on our side. Moreover, he impersonated the name of a Lord among the Ten Lords, which means having support behind him, and the massive faith demonstration from Black Iron City, it’d be such a waste!

Just because of my Evil Spirit Island, two major Guardian Gods were laid off at once?

That’s a huge loss, indeed begrudgingly unwilling!

Better change direction!

Suddenly, Chun still thought of the Ten Lords! If I can visit the island as a guest, could the Ten Lords accompanying the mermaids, even a few Princes, visit the island? If the Ten Lords see the island, they’ll feel they’ve discovered hidden forces, with player thinking they’d definitely protect, when the Princes see it...

In summary, the premise is to finish mining the mineral crystal without letting them discover the secret of the Divine Stone crystal. So, it’s still about using the Ten Lords, my relationship with them is destined to be use and betrayal simultaneously, but I’m in the dark, that’s my biggest advantage.

Chun clarifies the thought: "How about letting the Prince who pursues us and the other two Sages visit the island?"

Siren was puzzled: "They visit? Then they won’t hunt us?"

Chun sighed: "Not visiting would definitely lead to pursuit. But visiting might bring some interesting changes, as long as we hold off the situation, Helen’s status can stabilize. If it doesn’t work, we’ll go with our worst-case scenario as originally planned."

Siren was taken aback: "How do we let them visit?"

Chun replied: "Once Metatron finishes replicating the machine, let him go find the Prince and establish contact. Of course, the premise is that all the mines must be extracted first, and none of the underground secrets seen."

The Prince might not necessarily come, but the Ten Lords surely will!

Siren laughed: "Quite interesting, alright, let’s do it. Most of the Divine Stone mine has been extracted, should only take a day or two."

So certain?

Chun asked: "The underwater mine is confirmed cleanly extracted?"

Siren replied: "I dove to check, the seabed’s mine was long consumed by various Sea Monsters, and there are obvious signs of large-scale excavations, eaten by creatures like shrimp and crabs, those Sea Monsters were probably wiped out by the Pirate King back then."

Chun finally relaxed, then remembered another matter: "Last time I was in Oak City, I met Pinocchio, do you know his current state?"

Siren smiled and said: "I know, his top-grade oak hundred-year obsession has already been fulfilled by the City Lord, old foreman Pyande also sent him to Black Iron City to check old debts. Pinocchio should be in Black Iron City now, right?"

Holy shit, I almost forgot the 2 billion debt! As a creditor without any awareness, it’s really unreasonable.

Chun then asked: "Was it Aziza or Nancy who brought him to Black Iron City?"

Siren replied: "These days, Nancy’s been on Plague Island with that Crow Master, Aziza’s been busy in the Sea of a Thousand Islands."

Then it’s likely that Pinocchio’s thread-controlled Tata brought him over?

Chun suddenly recalled yesterday’s attack on Count’s Mansion by Curry, so it’s highly probable that Pinocchio infiltrated Count’s Mansion too. With its bizarre ability, finding out about the debt is uncertain, but accessing the teleportation space behind Aileen’s dressing mirror is entirely possible!

This is a mission I’ve always had but never had the opportunity to complete, really hoping it helps me accomplish this.

Siren then said: "I’ll first assist in sawing the chains, let’s not chat for now."

"Alright."

Chun also took a deep breath, glancing again at the charging equipment in the Crystal warehouse, indeed too rudimentary, just two metal wires poking directly into me. Forget it, slow is slow, take this chance to rest a bit. After all, I just point out the direction, small operations don’t need me to worry.

Chun then grabbed his phone to check the Black Iron City animal rights live stream again, still lively. With such pomp, we must protect the Bronze Guardian God.

After watching a while, Chun felt sleepy, then decided to nap for a bit...

...

Black Iron City Black Hand Organization base.

Alpha recovered considerably from a weak state, the screen finally returned to normal.

Although the emergency tail cutting earlier lost a lot of the Guardian Demon God’s Divine Power, couldn’t prevent it anymore, the main task was investigation, transmitting a victory investigation report to the Guardian Demon God via the mirror.

"Lord of the Divine Throne, after investigation, the nun tutor’s strong spiritual power extended to the sewer. I engaged in a major battle with her, forcing her to fully support the hero team pet to push me back. Please instruct my next action."

Though somewhat a forced win-study, it fits task dialogue logic. After all, Feng Xingcuo constantly gaining 5 pets announcements triggered this event, and this event can be used as an investigation basis.

Then the Guardian Demon God replied: "Though the gap is large, thank you for your brave fight. Now enter the next step, authorize you to select organization personnel to infiltrate her rescue team."

Report successful!

Alpha sighed in relief. Although the Demon God didn’t comment on the nun pet event, it’s not important, the crucial point is the task directly jumped to the next step.

This "authorization" from the Guardian Demon God must be well utilized. If used properly, it’s about recruiting the organization’s strongest Shadow Demon NPCs as subordinates.

Then take the organization’s strongest Shadow Demons all along. Though it might cause safety hazard in the mirror space transfer, compared to cultivating own subordinates, the organization’s loss hazard is negligible.
