Chapter 930 Let's Challenge Iron Flame Village

The phrase "it's all business" makes it hard for Da Chun to connect him with the simple-minded guy he remembered who loved drinking "special tribute wine."

Since we're going to do it, let's do it. Let's have a fight in Tieyan Village. It'll not only help the internet cafe guys get some local specialties and benefits, but it'll also give our old friend some experience as he takes office. It's a win-win situation!

[President Wonima]: Accept the challenge!

[Wine Angel]: See you there!

Da Chun then said to the five beauties, "I'm going to Tieyan Village. You all go find something to do."

Kasha said, "I can't find anything here, so I'd like to follow the guild master."

Forehead?
Metadisia said, "That's right, I can't just stand by and watch the guild leader's battle."

Olica said, "Let's go together."

Yulia: "I'm going too."

So touching!
Amélie sighed, "I do have something to do here. I can pretend. We'll see how things go. Olica, try to summon me."

Um... Aimee, you're a bit abrupt.

Da Chun said, "Alright, then Ai Meier, take care of your own affairs, and let's set off."

Da Chun transformed into a dragon again, and the fused mecha once more covered his entire body. Only then did Da Chun notice that the creation of the machine soul was over 40% complete, which was incredibly fast; it would probably be finished before he even reached Iron Flame Village.

So the four beauties mounted the giant dragon, and the dragon flapped its wings and took flight... um...

Da Chun asked awkwardly, "Which direction?"

Olica laughed and said, "Over there."

Okay, I feel like things are going to go wrong if I try to do it myself. Speaking of which, hasn't Di Lian been sleeping for a long time now, since she couldn't withstand the five aunties?
Da Chun then called out, "Earth Lotus?"

Di Lian immediately came to her senses: "Father, I'm here!"

Da Chun asked, "Can you take care of me?"

Di Lian: "Yes, don't worry, Father."

Da Chun was still worried: "But you looked very tired earlier."

Di Lian smiled and said, "That's right. The water element in this hot spring is very rich, and it has a wonderful fusion with my father's fire element, which has generated a lot of energy. I felt very fulfilled and had a lot of motivation to get results, so I helped all five aunts get fruit. After that, I really wanted to sleep."

ah!!?
Da Chun shuddered: "The result of flowering and fruiting?"

"It doesn't need to bloom."

Da Chun was sweating profusely: "It's inside Auntie's belly?"

"Yes, Auntie seemed very happy too."

So... the fusion of water and fire is equivalent to the fusion of yin and yang, right?
Da Chun asked in a trembling voice, "When did the fruit come out of Auntie's body?"

Di Lian asked in surprise, "I don't know."

So what's this? The Earth Lotus gave birth to five babies?

Da Chun couldn't accept such an outrageous relationship for a moment, so he stopped asking: "Then Di Lian, you just listen to the aunties' directions and take care of everything."

"I understand, Father."

Da Chun shook his head and switched to his main account. Turtle Island was currently traveling through the Void Dark Sea, so he figured there was nothing more for him to do. He continued to catch up on his sleep, staying up all night to prepare for the battle for Iron Flame Village…

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

The brief conversation between the guild master and the wine angel startled Uriel so much that he dared not say a word on the channel, fearing that the wine angel would find him in the city.

Then Uriel saw the Bacchus Angel head straight for the teleportation array: "Is he going to Black Iron City right away, to wait in Iron Flame Village?"

Raphael sighed helplessly, "With him gone, Gem City is left without even a trainee guardian."

But the next moment, a team member reported: "The Wine Angel has appeared in Silver City and is heading to the church."

The group was astonished: "Is he planning to land in Lapava?"

As expected, the Wine Angel and Pava landed and rushed out of the church, then used the teleportation array to appear in Black Iron City, where they immediately contacted the Shoe Angel. The Shoe Angel was still holding the pair of shoes in her hands.

The three then left the city and flew directly towards Tieyan Village.

Uriel sighed helplessly: "An internal power struggle within the Chamber of Commerce!"

Xila was speechless: "What should we do? We finally found the guild leader, thinking we could heal the fruit trees, but it turns out we have to fight a divine war. Won't that blow the orchard to ashes?"

Michael exclaimed, "At this point, the fruit trees are no longer important. What's important is that the story is about to begin!"

Sariel laughed, “That’s right, products with a story sell well! We should quickly mobilize our subordinates to spread the story of the three new guardian gods and the legendary hellish wanted criminal Wonima fighting for… the Divine Fire Apple in the taverns of various cities! Isn’t that Kami-chan bastard a reporter who can publish tabloids? Butler, immediately notify Kami-chan’s team to write a newspaper and hype up the fruit tree.”

Michael smiled: "Excellent, the Apple of Divine Fire, what a great name!"

Butler: "Understood! I will notify the pre-divine team immediately."

Sila suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, those shoe angels have left the city. We should take this opportunity to take action against the animal rights activists in the city!"

Michael said, "We can't let the butler inform them; it's up to them to decide for themselves."

Sila then asked, "Should I tell my tutor about this?"

Michael thought for a moment and said, "Tell me, it will probably be difficult for the president to deal with the three resting and guarding angels on his own. We'll have the mentor balance things out."

"Ok."

So Xila told her mentor, "Mentor, my friend Uriel has contacted the guild master in Gem City, and the guild master is willing to come and heal the fruit trees..."

Normal players can't talk to NPCs like that because no related quest events have been triggered, and the NPCs won't respond. But Sila is a Sage with inherent NPC attributes, not to mention that her current attributes are completely NPC-like; she herself is the event.

The mentor actually laughed: "Interesting! It would be best to just destroy the orchard, so that it wouldn't be because I'm unable to heal it, but because it was an accident during the war."

Xila became anxious: "Mentor, you're a member now too! This orchard is our property! Right now, the city is hyping this up, and the value of these fruit trees will increase significantly!"

The mentor chuckled, "I understand. Actually, the solution remains the same. As long as we lure more ancient monsters from these mountains to attack the village, these three angels will have no choice but to help defend the village, right? Then no one will interfere with its healing of the fruit trees, will they?"

Sila exclaimed in astonishment: "Our mentor is brilliant!"

The veterans were full of praise: "This Black Dragon Lord is totally using the player's monster-luring strategy..."

……

God's team.

The young master received a call from the steward: "Understood! Don't worry, I'll take care of it..."

"You paparazzi! Important mission!"

The paparazzi were still bewildered by the changes in the city when this sudden assignment came as a complete surprise, leaving them flattered, shocked, and overjoyed!
"Hey! I'll give it my all, there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

This is a major event triggered by the Ten Elders, and three trainee guardians have also left the city. It's 100% first-hand information. As long as I publish it in the newspaper, my part-time reporter job of a month will immediately be promoted to a full-fledged reporter! The terrifying thing about a full-fledged reporter is that they can write political commentary and criticize social injustices!
At that time, countless nobles will rush over to give her money and ask her to speak well of them. Even the city's most beautiful woman, Fafnir, will have to come and say good things to her.

However, Saito Sakamaru, who was stationed in another village, couldn't hold back any longer: "Young Master, is this really just a publicity stunt? The orchard is now in the hands of the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild, and they're getting all the benefits!" The young master was also conflicted about this, but he had no choice but to say: "Sakamaru-kun, your original plan was to please the elders and mentors. As long as they replaced Ooharu, all the problems would be solved."

Zuo Gaowan gritted his teeth: "Understood, carry out the plan firmly!"

……

Gem City.

After witnessing the departure of the Wine Angel, Uriel found the Shadow Emerald Tavern that the Demon God had mentioned.

Honestly, Uriel isn't suitable to come. This event was triggered by Raziel seeking out the Demon God; only if Raziel himself came could the Shadow Bank dialogue be triggered.

But since we're already here, let's sit down. As usual, let's order the most expensive wine and the most expensive song and dance for the dancer. As one of the Ten Elders, I don't have time for tedious pre-requisite tasks; money talks.

Looking at his meager cash balance, Uriel experienced the taste of poverty for the first time in the game. No Hell Bank, just a Hell account balance of ten million—how tragic. Even more tragic was that even if he managed to get through to the bank, he'd still have to transfer the money to that so-called Guardian.

The tavern owner was also taken aback by Uriel's generosity: "Honorable guest, the dancers on stage are not worthy of such a high reward from you. How about we invite a top-notch guest dancer to come and perform as a guest?"

Uriel suspected he had triggered an event: "Boss, this is just a normal tip, there will be guest dancers, right?"

Gabriel laughed and said, "Could it be that Andariel, seeing that you returned to Gem City without completing your mission, deliberately sent a succubus to tease you?"

Uriel snorted coldly: "Then I'd like to see for myself."

So he agreed to the shopkeeper's request: "Okay!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest."

A moment later, the tavern's music and lights changed, and the patrons erupted in cheers. Amidst the cheers, a sexy and wild masked dancer made a grand entrance.

For Uriel, a straight man, Paradise Lost already had all sorts of top-tier beauties, so he didn't find the woman in front of him, who was also top-tier, particularly special, nor did she compare to the five women from the Merchant Guild who had undergone a thousand-year transformation.

In short, the song and dance are over, so let's applaud and wait for what follows.

The dance continued, the dancer swaying gracefully in the fragrant breeze as she approached the counter and sat down with Uriel: "Sir, were you satisfied with Lily's singing and dancing?"

Uriel was too lazy to flirt: "Don't you think it's strange that a plumber like me dares to spend like this?"

The dancer laughed: "Lily doesn't care about the guests' status or profession, she only cares about their money."

Uriel cut straight to the point: "I actually have more money, but I don't have an Imperial account, which is very frustrating."

The dancer exclaimed in surprise, "How come the guest doesn't have an Imperial account?"

Stop pretending, okay? Either it's Andariel in disguise, or... Amel? That's right, Amel knows me best, which is why it's easiest for her to come and find out from me. Her ability to move around in the city indicates a close relationship with Andariel...

Uriel, growing impatient, spoke directly through the Chamber of Commerce channel.

[Vice President Uriel]: Amelie, is that you?

Shira Gabriel laughed: "Uriel, you really have no sense of romance at all."

There was no response from the channel. Uriel stared intently into the dancer's unwavering eyes. Was she putting on a convincing act, or was she truly not?

[Vice President Uriel]: Amel, if you don't speak, then this Lili Ai isn't you! I'll just touch her butt.

Either way, you'll lose money whether it's true or false.

Just then, the dancer chuckled!
[Shareholder Aimee]: Vice President, how could you do this? Don't touch me!
It really is her! As a succubus, what's wrong with letting me touch her?

Uriel truly regretted exposing him; it would have been better to just take action directly: "What are you doing?"

Aimee laughed and said, "I'm bored. I'm just curious what you're doing, Vice President."

Uriel asked in surprise, "How did you manage to take on a guest role, and even get the tavern owner to arrange it?"

Amel laughed and said, "Given my relationship with Andariel, I can do whatever I want in the city, right?"

Just as I suspected. If it's this casual, then Andariel and Shadowcity must have some connection, right?

"What about the other four?"

"I accompanied the president to Tieyan Village."

"You're not going?"

"The guild leader has already carried four, he's exhausted. I'll just use the teleportation array."

Uriel got straight to the point: "I've heard that the divine realm captured a Dark Soul Witch, and now they're looking to capture her superior, Andariel. You have close ties with Andariel, so you should inform him."

Aimee was stunned: "Where did the vice president get this information from?"

Uriel hates conversations like this and skips them: "That's not my point. The point is I have money but no account to spend. I need to find a shadow bank! That's why I came here."

Amelie asked in surprise, "Is it here?"

Uriel said in a deep voice, "If not, you'd better prepare to set up this tavern. Go back and make all the necessary contacts."

Aimee said "Oh," and then asked, "What else is the vice president planning to do?"

Uriel said irritably, "Go back to Black Iron City and continue being a plumber."

Ai Mei'er smiled and said, "Vice President, don't be in a hurry. Just stay here and have a drink while I notify you through the Chamber of Commerce channel..."

After saying that, Amel entered the tavern through the back door and drifted away.

Uriel breathed a sigh of relief in the chat group: "That's fine. Although I didn't trigger the mission, I've basically helped Raziel complete half of it. Next time, Raziel can finish it himself."

Gabriel exclaimed in surprise, "Actually, you never spoke directly with the tavern staff from beginning to end; you did it all through this Emily."

Uriel snorted: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the more forces that know about shadow banking, the better. That way, the business will expand more and more."

Sila laughed and said, "Anyway, Uriel has nothing to do right now, so why don't you chat with the tavern owner about the Divine Fire Apple and spread the news in Gem City as well?"

Uriel: "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'd be cooking it up here in Andariel first..."

So the Chamber of Commerce channel got straight to the point:

[Vice President Uriel]: Amel, tell Andariel something. The trainee guardian deity just went to Ironflame Village in Black Iron City to compete for the Divine Fire Apple...

Emily retorted irritably, "What does this have to do with the organization?"

Even if it's not important, you still need to know!

"okay I know."

Gabriel sighed, "It feels like Amel has completely broken free from the Chamber of Commerce's control since she found the Andariel organization."

Uriel scoffed, "Why can't I control the Andariel organization through Amelia?"

Michael laughed and said, "That's right, that's a very broad perspective."

Then Uriel spread the word to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper..."

Although Uriel lacked the ability to write newspapers and spread information, his status as a sage allowed him to gain some recognition from the NPCs.
