Chapter 965 The Head Maid Leaks Secrets? Sneaking Back to Valhalla?
Although it's a fake Tifa, her expertise seems quite suitable for the pirate ship. She should be heavily invested in developing in the future.

Da Chun thought about how he hadn't paid much attention to her before, so he decided to reassure her: "Tifa and I are engaged. I will treat you the same way I treated her."

Fake Tifa scoffed, "You should figure out how to navigate this pirate ship first before you start talking about love."

You're being arrogant, aren't you? Okay... career comes first.

Da Chun then asked Ai Lian, "Darling, how often does this Pirate Guardian activate?"

Ellen said happily, "Aside from being a little tired, it seems there's no cooldown time limit, as long as I have enough divine power. Although I used up about a third of my divine power this time, I also plundered a lot of energy. I can carefully count and convert it when I get back. Moreover, I gained a lot of experience after defeating the Dragon King, so the consumption next time shouldn't be as great."

Plundering energy!? Holy crap, vampires? This pirate ship is pretty weird!
The Dragon King also spoke: "I did feel my power being plundered before I died. Since that's the case, I will transfer my last bit of power to you without reservation. From now on, I will quickly adapt to life on the ship and make it stronger."

Da Chun was very excited: "Dragon King, your dedication has moved me to tears!"

The Dragon King exclaimed, "No, it's the taste of freedom that moves me so much I want to die!"

Ellen laughed, "Lia, look at our loot cargo hold!"

Liya laughed and said, "Okay, it seems that in addition to energy, there is also a crystal core."

As they were talking, the scene changed, and the perspective switched to the cargo hold.

The cargo hold at this moment resembled a swimming pool filled with frost-colored liquid, with a gleaming crystal core in the center.

The Dragon King said, "This is my power. That is the broken divine essence that was crippled when I was captured. It was precisely because it was broken that Hell always thought I posed no threat and imprisoned me like this."

Da Chun got excited: "Yatnas's specialty is repairing divinity! When we get back, I'll have Yatnas fix it!"

Eileen smiled and said, "I understand!"

Da Chun suddenly became concerned: "Dragon King, can you tell me why you were captured back then?"

The Dragon King said in a muffled voice, "I think the apocalyptic war a thousand years ago was really stupid. I just wanted to preserve the race, but the Demon God Temple's judgment failed, and I was imprisoned for life. The Blood Demon was in a similar situation."

Uh... it's definitely not what I heard when I went to the Treasure Hall to buy the dragon horns.

Just then, Da Chun's phone rang; needless to say, it was Zhou Qing again.

"Brother Chun, did you see the regional channel? Pirate Queen Sherry defeated the Dragon King. What do you think, Brother Chun?"

I'm watching!

Da Chun stopped being coy: "This shows that the suddenly appearing Pirate King is the key target we need to focus on in the future. We'll make a big investment whenever we have the chance."

Zhou Qing was surprised: "Brother Chun actually thinks that way too?"

Da Chun asked in surprise, "Do other people think that way too?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Brother Long and the others all think so, which makes everyone think that their ideas are too normal and ordinary... So I wanted to hear Brother Chun's opinion, and I didn't expect that Brother Chun thought the same way."

Da Chun was embarrassed: "Consensus is often the truth!"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "I understand, but the first thing is to find the Dragon King's corpse, skin it, and make armor. That's the real treasure. Also, with the siege leader eliminated, the subsequent village defense battles should be much easier. As long as our regiment survives until dawn, we can probably end this siege."

Da Chun asked, "There's also a Blood Demon. Have you heard anything about it?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "With the current skill level of our players, who would dare to show their face and look around? It would be good enough if they could just survive."

"Then we'll just have to hold on for the time being..."

After ending the call, Da Chun turned his attention to the alternate account. The alternate account was still being managed very well by Di Lian, so he didn't really need to pay much attention to it.

So all Da Chun can do is stand there in a daze. Well, maybe he should think about the future. His main account has been promoted to Pirate King, gained the secret support of the divine realm, and is about to challenge the Emperor; its role has changed. Will the role of his alt account also change?

Initially, after the main character was transferred to the Imperial prison, his plan was to gain the Emperor's favor without being devoured by him. At that time, the secondary character's role was to declare to the Emperor's informant, Libnashi, that he was the main character's only nemesis, thereby protecting the main character.

The Emperor did indeed give him an opportunity to be highly valued, sending his main character to capture Samuel, one of the Ten Elders. As a result, the Ten Elders captured the main character and took him to the God Realm Prison, where he went out of control. However, he was now safe, at least there was no need to worry about the main character being eaten by the Emperor.

So now, should the alt account join Emperor's faction? Play a double agent game, gather Emperor's intelligence to better coordinate with the main account?

If a secondary account wants to join, that's simple; just contact Libnashi. But, shouldn't there be a good reason for joining?
Da Chun couldn't figure it out, so he decided to just talk to Libnashi, since they hadn't been in touch for a long time.

Open your inventory and select the Book of Beelzebub's Seal.

Then I waited for her reply.

Speaking of which, this sealed book is a bug. Because I participated in the competition a thousand years ago with this book, when I returned, it caused Libnashi to gain a thousand years of power out of thin air. She actually had the strength to break the seal long ago, but she didn't, which means she was just luring me in.
Last time she took my main account to the desert, she must have been promoted when she came back. If she can lure my alt account into the Emperor's ranks, she'll probably be promoted again.

A moment later, Libnashi replied: "Master! I'm here, what is it?"

Wow! The connection was really fast this time. And there's even a video feed—a vast expanse of yellow sand! Wait, what's that flying in the sky ahead?
Da Chun was astonished: "Where are you?"

"The Emperor has sent me to oversee the Oak Sage Gabriel in his search for the lost Forgello airships from the ruins of the Empire..."

The perspective shifts, and suddenly she and her group of NPCs are riding on the desert sled she left behind last time! And what's that in the sky ahead? Isn't that Gabriel pulling the sled!

Pfft!

Da Chun almost couldn't hold it in! Last time, Xi La was in charge of pulling the sled, but this time it was her turn. Sure enough, once a strategy guide works, you'll use it every time.

I really didn't expect that the Blood Crystal Bats' actions would alarm the Emperor! Luckily, I have proof that I was absent for a few days, so this shouldn't be attributed to my main account, right?
Da Chun didn't inquire about the incident to avoid suspicion: "Is it dangerous here?"

"Of course there are unknown dangers. But I came here once before, so I should have gained some experience."

Da Chun: "Actually, I just didn't have anything to do, but I suddenly thought of you and wanted to chat. Is now a good time to talk?"

Libnashi laughed, "Traveling in the desert is so boring right now, it's an honor to chat with my master. What are you doing right now, master?"

You're gathering intelligence on me, huh? Fine, this can also be considered an indirect way of reporting my value to the Emperor.

Da Chun sighed, "Originally, I wanted to prove my strength to the family by launching the challenge against the 72 Demon Gods..."

I had informed her about this beforehand, so she knew about it.

"After a day of challenges with no difficulty, I went and defeated the Gem Guardian, and then I went to the underground of Gem City and defeated the Shadow Demon City Guardian as well. I felt that even the 72 Demon Gods were nothing special. I had already proven my strength and was too lazy to continue challenging them, lest I cause trouble for the family." Libnashi exclaimed, "That's right, Master's achievements in defeating the Gem Guardian and the Shadow Demon City Guardian have also alarmed the Empire! Master is truly amazing."

Da Chun sighed, "Really? I offended Shadow Demon City and am wanted by them. I can't use their teleportation array anymore. Now I can't find my way back to Hell. I'm at my wit's end."

Libnashi exclaimed in surprise, "Master is so strong, and his life is just beginning. It's such a waste to just sit around doing nothing."

Da Chun got excited: "Then what can I do?"

Don't even think about asking me to help you find the airship. First, I can't use the teleportation array to the Empire. Second, the presence of the Ten Elders would give us away. Third, I wouldn't betray my main character's strongest follower.

Libnashi thought for a moment: "As Beelzebub, I am actually serving the Emperor. Will my master have any prejudice against me?"

They're here!?
Da Chun said, "Absolutely not! You yourself said that you are a spy sent by the family. I think you are respectable and noble."

Libnashi said, "As a spy, one needs to climb to a higher position to collect more valuable intelligence. If Master is bored and has nothing to do, could you do something for me to gain the Emperor's trust? Once my status is improved, I can serve Master better."

That's so direct! You've said everything I wanted to say!
Da Chun wanted to laugh but was speechless: "No problem, tell me what you want to know first?"

Libnashi smiled and said, "Thank you, Master. With your strength, it's impossible for you to do such trivial things. I need to apply to the higher-ups to arrange something important!"

Da Chun asked in surprise, "You're in the desert now, how can you apply to the higher-ups?"

Libnashi showed off her watch: "This is the access I obtained last time I went to the desert. With it, I can contact the Emperor directly. So, Master, wait for my message."

"Ok."

Judging from the looks of it, this matter is definitely bigger than finding the Frogolo airship.

Da Chun waited a few more minutes before Libnashi replied: "Master, the Emperor has a sudden and extremely urgent mission: to investigate the third generation Pirate King! If you find any clues about him, please contact me and I will report to the Emperor."

Holy crap, they actually assigned me a task to fight between my two accounts!

This is too direct; I'm a little uncomfortable with it.

Da Chun still wanted to know: "How did you report to the Emperor? You were clearly in the desert, a place that has nothing to do with the sea. Why would the Emperor assign you a mission related to the Pirate King?"

Libnashi laughed and said, "I'll just say it directly, that Master Wonima who defeated the Gem Guardian must be bored."

Da Chun was stunned: "You directly told the Emperor about our relationship?"

Libnashi remarked, "Of course, one should not underestimate the Emperor's wisdom and magnanimity. Only by telling the truth can one gain the Emperor's trust."

Da Chun was taken aback: "But you're a spy!"

Libnashi exclaimed, "Actually, he should be considered a double agent."

Da Chun became anxious: "Does the Emperor know that I sealed you in the Hall of Heroes?"

My infiltration of Valhalla is top secret. If the Emperor finds out about this, it'll be a disaster...

Libnashi laughed and said, "No, that was a condition of secrecy when I was sealed. I only said that I was accidentally injured by the First Sage in the sewers of the Golden Throne, and then became weak and was sealed by my master. Because I could not hide my weakened strength from the Emperor."

Ah... Do you think I should believe that your current strength would still be bound by these confidentiality conditions? Or, why don't we go all the way and first kill our way back to the Golden Throne Hall of Heroes and release the souls of the Four Flowers of the City?
Da Chun felt extremely uncomfortable listening to this: "Then, can we not report our current conversation to the Emperor?"

Libnashi laughed and said, "Yes, my master. Your loyal servant will not tell."

Loyal to the core!

Da Chun asked, "Is there a time limit for this mission?"

"No, it's a free mission!"

"Alright, I'll get ready. You go ahead and be careful."

"Thank you for your concern, Master."

After ending the call, Da Chun felt increasingly distressed. Had she really been too inexperienced back then, unable to handle this seasoned veteran? But upon closer reflection, aside from the Hall of Heroes, she knew virtually nothing else about major events, making it almost impossible for her to leak information. Moreover, the fact that her main account was her alt's nemesis was something she had asked her to convey…

When Da Chun felt down, she suddenly thought of her sister, the head nurse Nabuchuanxi. The two sisters were professional rivals, the kind who couldn't stand each other. Why not try contacting Nabuchuanxi in the divine realm? She hadn't thought of anything specific, but she figured she might as well take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to talk to her now that she was out of prison.

Da Chun switched to his main account and activated Baron Beelzebub's communication function.

System notification: Contact in progress, please wait patiently...

amount……

How long do we need to be patient? It used to take several hours to contact the old mermaid.

In short, let's wait and see.

Meanwhile, Da Chun was preoccupied with his worries about the Hall of Heroes and wanted to sneak back to the Golden Throne. Going back was simple: he needed to return to Hell first, then be teleported to the Void Black Dragon City, and then infiltrate the Golden Throne. But how did he get back to Hell?

Also, Ellen said that as long as my coordinates are known, the Pirate Guardian's divine skill can be used to sneak to the place. So, can the pirate ship sneak to Valhalla?

However, Eileen still doesn't know I have a secondary account. How am I supposed to explain this to her? Or should I not explain it, since my main account's soul has been out for too long, and I should go back and personally set sail?

There's another problem: even if I manage to retrieve the soul of the Four Flowers of Heroes from Valhalla, what if it affects the Four Flowers themselves?
The four beauties are all in the village now, so should I take this opportunity to talk to them? But how exactly should I do that? Should I use vines to type? ...

For a moment, Da Chun was in a state of utter confusion and had no clue what to do!

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

Although the group was mentally prepared for the Dragon King's defeat, the fact that he was defeated so decisively, even to the point of dying in mutual fighting, was truly beyond their expectations.

Even more shockingly, the pirate ship vanished and withdrew from the battlefield, its unparalleled mobility was simply outrageous!
In short, Sila swam to the surface immediately and returned to the cargo ship, where all the searchlights were turned on to prepare to retrieve the dragon's corpse.

After all, it's the Dragon King's corpse. With such a huge size, just the outer layer of skin alone would require countless master-level armor-making techniques.

But this is also what's troubling the Ten Elders. There are only high-level players from the Chinese region and the Baka region left in the village. The Baka region definitely can't beat the Royals, so this dragon skin is destined to go to the Chinese region.
