Chapter 984 Modifying the Pirate Ship, Moore Encounters an Evil God

The royal family has been mobilized!

Da Chun remembered that he had asked Beelzebub Rookie to pass on a message to Nabu Chuanxi at the God Realm Tavern, asking her to control the Bone Dragon Evil God to check out Iron Crystal Village. He decided to give her a hint, since his Broken Bottle Merchant Guild had taken away the village's resident rights in Iron Flame Village, and he felt very bad about it.

"Have the team keep an eye on the sky from time to time. If they encounter a bone dragon, try to make contact with it. Maybe it will trigger a quest or something."

Zhou Qingqi asked, "Does that mean the team needs to find the Bone Dragon's location?"

Um... you can't ask me about the specific steps, can you?
Da Chun was a little embarrassed: "It would be best if we could find a place to stay, but if we really can't, we shouldn't force it."

Zhou Qing said, "No problem, Moore has possessed an eagle and is coming this way. Can Moore make contact with it in the air?"

Indeed, the previous plan was to have Moore come and explore the valley prison where the Ice Dragon King was held. This matter was not urgent and did not seem important.

"Alright, you professional team can handle it..."

As we were talking, the delivery guy brought breakfast. As soon as I opened the door, the noise from the first floor hit me.

Da Chun was surprised: "Wei Shen and the others are so excited?"

The young man laughed and said, "Not at all, it's mainly because Brother Chun is treating us to breakfast. Brother Chun has treated us twice already. The brothers are all convinced that Brother Chun has made a fortune, and we have full confidence in following Brother Chun!"

Haha, I wonder how long this 35 a day can last?

Da Chun laughed and said, "Tell the brothers to stay calm and not be reckless. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future."

"receive……"

After breakfast, it was already 6:30 in the morning.

First, check the numbers; nothing's happening, no progress.

It's a bit awkward. The thought of Wei Shen, Royal Family, and Moore doing great things while I'm suddenly idle and can't even play in a competition is quite frustrating. It's like I'm on the right track but my life is hanging by a thread.

Since it's dark in the game anyway, why not send a low-level character to extend a vine and check out the city of the Golden Throne?
That won't work either. The alt account should just quietly infiltrate the walls. Although the Emperor held back in the battle in the city just now, once it's discovered that the four city flowers' soul fragments are missing, and the whole city is searching for them, it's hard to say that the vines won't be discovered.

I'll just go back to my bedroom and deepen my relationship with the four beauties. For the Pirate King, marrying a queen and gaining reputation is like gaining divine power!
Da Chun entered the bedroom, where Si Chenghua was tossing and turning in bed, half asleep. Honestly, before it was passive eroge (adult content), now it's active eroge—it's kind of embarrassing!
Eve opened her eyes first and asked with a smile, "You're here. Did you sleep well last night?"

They clearly kicked me out of bed.

Da Chunhan said, "Well, as the Pirate King, I will take responsibility for everyone, so I'm here to talk about our future plans."

Eve said solemnly, "Indeed, judging from the combat patterns we've observed on the pirate ship, it's still too outdated. Since all five of us are here, let's work together to modify the pirate ship's magic energy system, making its magic cannons more powerful and faster to recharge..."

Um... I actually came here for eroge (adult content), but you, the female academic genius, immediately got down to business! Hmm, very good!

Da Chun asked, "But we're ambushing our prey, will this modification affect our combat operations?"

Eve laughed and said, "No, it's an upgrade. Besides, our main body had a very pleasant conversation with the five Hell Witches in Ironflame Village. We were all interested in each other's magic, so I left the magic tower in Ironflame Village and had the five witches record their magic inside. After we ambush our target and obtain a large amount of energy, we will drift the pirate ship over Ironflame Village to receive the signal from the magic tower I left there. Then our pirate ship will also be able to possess their various petrification, explosion, and illusion abilities."

Holy crap!! My five demon queens are so enlightened?
Da Chun asked in surprise, "They're demons? Why are they so willing?"

Eve laughed and said, "The demons have their advantages. As long as the conditions are right, there is no problem with the deal."

Does that mean even betrayal is negotiable?

Da Chun was sweating profusely: "So what are your conditions?"

Eve laughed and said, "It's about teaching us magic and artifact-making techniques. For example, they really like my portable magic tower."

This is truly incredible!

Da Chun then asked, "How do they record magic inside the tower?"

Eve smiled and said, "They said they hadn't attended a magic academy and didn't know how to record spells in writing, but Lia and Remia and I have a way. We put some relevant magical artifacts in the tower so they can cast spells in the magic tower with the help of the artifacts. The magic tower will automatically analyze them into spells. I suppose they'll have analyzed them by now after a day."

Um... So, Fafnir is poor and doesn't have any magical artifacts, right?
Remia also woke up: "We originally planned to retrieve it after we buried the Dragon King in the northern mountains, but now that we have a pirate ship, the magic tower signal transmission is just right."

But our pirate ship is monitored by Emperor!

No problem! The pirate ship has been to Ironflame Village once before, and now it's back again. Even if the Emperor is monitoring it, he'll just think it's still up to no good. Maybe the Emperor is even interested in why the Pirate King is so obsessed with this village. Who knows, it might even bring in investment from the Emperor for the village.

Da Chun was very excited: "Alright, let's start the modifications now. Is Tifa coming?"

Eve laughed: "We can't do without her! She's the most skilled at combining magic and machinery among the five of us..."

Fafnir woke up too: "Let's get started then, shall we begin with the power bay?"

"Yes……"

Watching the four of them emerge from the cabin in high spirits, Da Chun felt a strange sense of disappointment, like he hadn't managed to play with an eroge (a type of Japanese erotica) game...

Well, I've got nothing to do again. If I really need to find something to do, I'll go to the cockpit and contact Eileen.

A moment later, Ellen replied: "Honey, what's up?" Da Chun asked: "Can you contact Pinocchio? I want him to impersonate the third Pirate King and distract us."

Eileen sighed, "I can't contact it, but Nancy and Aziza brought it to Oak City last time, so maybe they have a way to contact it. I'll have Bellena contact Vivian, and then have Vivian contact Aziza to try."

"Then let's do it."

"In addition, Birena still wants to go and see the old underground mine in the sewers. If she can contact Pinocchio before midnight, he might be a good helper."

Da Chun asked in surprise, "It's been two days already, and Biliana still hasn't found anything about the old mine?"

Ellen: "Belena said it was high-quality iron, possibly even magnetic, that could absorb her radar waves and disrupt her sense of direction, causing dizziness and little progress."

Holy crap! I'd imagined Iron City had all sorts of iron, but I'd never imagined magnets!
Da Chun said urgently, "Tell Biliana to be extremely careful in everything she does."

Eileen smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's very careful."

After ending the call, Da Chun had nothing to do again.

Oh well, it's good that nothing happened. I ate too much for breakfast and felt dizzy from the carbuncle, so I'll go back to sleep...

……

Dragon Slayer Guild Command Center, Druid Special Operations Team Room.

Since the battle to capture Iron Flame Village ended, Chun Ge has revealed the location where the Dragon King appeared. Currently, almost no players can reach it, and Moore is the only player in the Chinese region who has the ability to go there.

So Moore possessed an eagle and flew north from the direction of Bronze City. Going north meant he didn't have to cross the ocean; he could just adjust his course near the Arctic Circle.

Eagles are endurance-based, cold-resistant, have few natural predators, and fly high without being caught by monsters, making them the top choice for long-distance travel. Eagles have excellent vision; even at great heights, they can clearly see small dots on the ground – it's incredibly exhilarating. The only downside is that it can be quite boring; the screen is filled with nothing but wind and clouds.

After nearly a day's flight, Moore finally arrived in the northern region of Black Iron City, quite close to his destination.

Just then, Zhou Qing relayed Chun Ge's instructions: "Go to the vicinity of Tiejing Village and see if there are any bone dragons in the sky that could trigger the quest."

This gave Moore, who had been bored all day, a jolt: "Could the bone dragon that Brother Chun mentioned be the two bone dragon evil gods who escaped from Bronze City or Oak City?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "You're quite good at making connections, aren't you? If it's an evil god, as long as it's not a red name, the benefits of triggering the quest are enormous!"

Brother Tao laughed and said, "Even if you're a red name, you still have to find a way to make your name yellow!"

As they were talking, Moore noticed that the night sky in the distance was sparkling with light.

Moore exclaimed in surprise, "Those coordinates seem to be in the direction of Iron Crystal Village?"

Brother Tao got excited: "Let's get over there right now!"

Soon, Moore was astonished to find that the point of light was getting closer and closer to him. What was this?

Moore quickly flew higher. Closer now, he could see clearly: a pale blue ball of light, the same color as the deathly energy ball within the bone cavity of the bone dragon that had fled from Bronze Oak City!
Then Moore noticed a dark red orb of light chasing after it, though the color wasn't very clear.

Moore followed the blue orb of light from a distance until the dark red orb stopped chasing it. The blue orb landed on a hilltop, but it landed unsteadily, stirring up dust and mist all over the mountain. Then the blue orb dimmed and disappeared.

Moore knew that large undead creatures like bone dragons only emitted blue light when they unleashed their death energy during battle, and not when they were resting.

Moore, worried about losing sight of his target in the darkness, quickened his pace. He kept waving, the eagle's cry piercing the night sky.

This is also what makes eagles feel good; even as an ordinary creature, their calls reach the level of a powerful one. The incessant eagle cries are a way of reminding it that it is no ordinary eagle. Ordinary eagles don't cry out incessantly.

As they drew closer, they saw the outline of the Bone Dragon, and it was surprisingly yellow!
Moore was overjoyed and bravely approached!

The bone dragon's voice rang out: "Who?"

It can speak human language, so it's undoubtedly an evil god! And it seems to be female?

But the eagle possessed by Moore couldn't speak human language; all it could do was display its name as "Midnight Moore"!
The Bone Dragon was astonished: "It's actually that warrior wanted by Bronze City!"

She knows me!
At this moment, Moore was moved to tears and could only let out one last eagle cry.

The bone dragon laughed: "Interesting. You're a druid, right? But I don't know necromancy, so you don't need to possess this eagle. Just come in and talk."

After speaking, it opened its bony mouth, and the blue energy ball inside revealed a undulating shape resembling a portal.

Triggering the quest? I couldn't be happier!
Moore landed, immediately dispelling the possession state. His soul flew into the dragon's mouth, and the scene changed. Moore appeared in a space surrounded by blue light orbs, where a white-clad woman in a medical protective suit and mask, whose face was obscured, stood in the center.

Moore wasn't sure: "Are you an evil god?"

The woman laughed and said, "That's right, I am the evil god. You are the first warrior I have met who is able to communicate with me. I am very interested in you."

Moore immediately became excited: "I am willing to serve Lord God's Throne!"

The woman laughed heartily: "A divine throne? Not bad, not bad!"
