They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 544 Extra Chapter (Nine): Snake and Deer, Which is One?

At Falga's command, Abedo instantly understood his intention.

However, Abedo did not believe that Falga's idea could be realized.

The idea of ​​using up all of Klee's bomb stockpile to prevent her from accidentally blowing up Nordkal is naive.

Klee has a limited number of bombs, but she can replenish them once they run out.

Putting aside the fact that Aino, whom she had just met, would certainly provide materials to the best of her ability, Nordkare is an area where witches are active.

Do you think Ms. Alice and her aunts, seeing little Claire sullen because she lacked "toys," would find a bunch of high-grade bomb-making materials to cheer her up?

However, seeing Klee's elation at being able to unleash unlimited firepower from Falgar, Abedo ultimately remained silent, picked up a bomb, and threw it at the Wild Hunt horde.

As for Dulin, he wouldn't think much of it; he was very familiar with Klee's bombs.

He was the "cellmate" who fried fish with Keli and then went to solitary confinement together.

So he grabbed a handful of bombs, turning them into bombers, and flew over the Wild Hunt swarm, dropping bombs continuously.

This is the origin of the continuous explosions in the central part of Xixi Island.

However, in terms of monster-clearing efficiency, especially when encountering mindless monsters like the Wild Hunt that know no fear and only charge blindly, bombs are indeed more efficient than swords.

Seeing that things had completely stabilized here, Lauma and Himeko set off to check on the Frostmoon Child.

Meanwhile, the Star Train has also arrived at the Frostmoon Child's base, and the supplies Qin sent still need to be unloaded from the train.

So when Danheng and Columbia arrived, most of the Wild Hunt in the northern part of Xixi Island had already been wiped out.

Moreover, our Mr. Welt looked unhappy after Klee ran out of bombs. In his fatherly mood, he directly used the power of the Herrscher of Reason and used imaginary energy to replicate a large number of Klee's basic bombs.

The ingredients of the ordinary bombs that Klee makes are not complicated, and Welt can easily replicate them.

Even some special materials, as long as Walter can understand them, can be conjured up on the spot.

The two little girls were so envious of Walter's ability to create things out of thin air that they treated him like a wish-granting machine, begging him to conjure up metals of all shapes and sizes.

As for the adults around who witnessed this scene, they at most made a perfunctory remark, and then pretended not to see it.

Of course, anyone in the know would be in a state of utter turmoil at this moment.

Especially Abedo, who could create things out of thin air at will, which was beyond the comprehension of alchemy and was entirely in the realm of the gods.

In short, by the time Danheng arrived and staged another wave of monster clearing, the three members of the Knights of Favonius were already numb.

The flying train is filled with powerful demon-god level beings, at least that's what Falga and Abedo think.

The tsunami controlled by Danheng came and went quickly. After Xixi Island was cleared, Falga's expression turned solemn, and he addressed everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the crisis on Xixi Island has been resolved."

On Lumpor Island, perhaps because there were no highly concentrated lunar torque items like the Ancient Moon Remains, the Wild Hunt disaster wasn't too severe when I arrived.

Moreover, the members of my group who remained in Naxia Town did not send any special signals to prove that it was safe there.

So, fellow passengers on the train, I think we should talk to our friendly forces in Nordkalé and have a proper chat.

After all, the crisis for the Moon Hunter is not over, and he is probably hiding somewhere to digest the enormous power he has gained.

When he reappears, he'll be even more troublesome.

Falgar requested a talk, and Walter wasn't going to refuse. They had been fighting all along, and only when they accidentally flew to Mondstadt earlier had Rauma and Felice had a proper conversation with the train crew.

Qin at most gave a self-introduction; they didn't talk about anything in detail.

Therefore, Falgar proposed that the train crew and the friendly forces of Nordkale jointly discuss how to deal with the Moon Hunters. Walter adjusted his glasses and asked directly.
"A chat is no problem, Commander Falga. Where do you plan to talk, Frostmoon Village? Or the Xia Town you've mentioned so many times?"

Upon hearing Walter's question, Falgar immediately waved his hand in denial.
"These two places won't work. Frostmoon Village was just invaded by the Wild Hunt."

Although the casualties among the Frostmoon Children were not significant, a considerable number of buildings were damaged. Even if a complete building could be salvaged, it would first be used to house civilians.

Let's not add unnecessary burdens to them at this time.

As for Xia Town, it's a mixed bag, and some people won't believe it until they're faced with dire consequences. Even if we inform them of the Moon Hunters' threat, they won't believe us until the Wild Hunt comes knocking on their doorstep.

Moreover, the Son of Frostmoon has erected statues of Miss Columbia everywhere.

If she were to enter Frostmoon Village and Naxia Town like this, it would definitely cause chaos.

As for chatting on the train, I imagine you're all a bit hesitant to let so many strangers into the carriage.

However, I know a completely safe place where we can talk.

After Falga finished speaking, he looked at Yakoda, who could only watch the show from the sidelines because she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Yakoda reacted quickly, immediately realizing what place Falga was referring to, and then chimed in with a sigh.
"Commander Falgar, could it be that place?"

Upon hearing Yakoda's words, Falga immediately nodded.

After that, Yakoda said nothing more.

In this way, although Falgar did not specify the location, Yakoda agreed that the place was safe.

Having seen countless people, Walter could tell that Yakoda had no ill intentions towards the Starry Sky Train crew. Since she had already given her approval, the place that Falga mentioned should not be dangerous.

Moreover, the Starry Sky Train crew stands out for their exceptional skills and daring.

The Pioneer Destiny has a very strong resistance to abnormal environments. On March 7th, it was blown away by a subspace storm and was able to cry even while floating in a vacuum.

To put it bluntly, even if you threw the Starry Sky Train into lava, no one would die immediately.

Therefore, both parties immediately agreed to go to that absolutely safe place to discuss follow-up countermeasures.

However, the group had to split up first. Falga took Abedo to the location to make some arrangements, while Dulin and Klee continued with the train crew.

The train crew first returned to Shimotsuki-no-Bo, and then summoned Ying.

Columbia wanted to go back to her residence; she was a little worried about the moon spirits in the Silver Moon Court.

Afterwards, the two met up, and Yakoda led the way to the meeting point.

Time flies, and soon it was time to meet up.

During the period when they split up, Xixi Island was quite peaceful.

The Moon Hunters seem to be digesting the power they have just absorbed, or perhaps they are hesitant to act rashly because the train crew is on the island.

In short, Columbia, who returned to the Silver Moon Court with Ying, was not attacked.

On the Frostmoon Child's side, Lauma, knowing that it was impossible for the Frostmoon Child alone to protect Kutar (Columbia), naturally wouldn't miss this meeting.

The Starry Sky Train is temporarily stopping at Frostmoon's Child, and the train will be checked on Sundays.

Led by Yakoda, the others soon arrived at a secluded cave in the southwest of Lumbo Island.

This cave is very secluded. To enter it, you need to crawl through a winding tunnel and use a specific method to activate a mechanism that is completely disguised as a rock.

I heard that the way this mechanism is activated is not fixed and it changes frequently, and the timing of these changes is also unpredictable.

However, upon entering the cave, the space suddenly opened up. In front of a huge map of Nordkale, Falgar had already prepared a sand table and a pile of chairs.

Seeing that the train crew, Lauma, Felice, Aino, and others had all arrived, Falgar didn't bother with any opening remarks and simply stood on the high ground to welcome them.

"Gentlemen, welcome to the Knights of Favonius's assembly point in Nordkalley."

This place also serves as a rendezvous point for the Northern Continent's intelligence network.

Upon hearing Falgar's words, Paimon immediately asked in confusion.

"The Northern Continent Intelligence Network... I think I've heard of it."

Paimon's words proved that she didn't know much about the Northern Continent's intelligence network and had probably only heard the name. Therefore, Falgar explained...

"The Northern Continent Intelligence Network is actually the black market of the intelligence industry, the best channel for various forces to buy and sell information."

Headquartered in Nordkale, it appears to have collaborators in every country.

As an expeditionary force in a foreign land, the best way for the Knights of Favonius to understand the local situation was to cooperate with them.

This is where we'll meet; it's very safe.

Getting back to the main point, theoretically everyone here knows me, but for many of them this is the first time we've met.

Let me introduce myself again. My name is Falgar, and I am the Knight of the North and the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

Just as Falga finished speaking, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the cave. Soon, a slender woman with emerald green vertical pupils, dressed in a green robe in the style of Sumeru, walked in.

To put it another way, this young lady has exceptionally long legs and a slender, supple waist, but her expression always gives off a sinister feeling, like a beautiful yet dangerous snake-like beauty.

This person is very familiar with this place; he clearly knows both Ying and the locals of Nordkale.

Seeing that Ying didn't seem alert, the Starry Sky Train crew knew that this person was probably not an enemy.

Sure enough, after the young lady walked in, she curiously looked at the members of the Starry Sky Train crew and then spoke.

"My name is Nefer, the owner of the Secrets House, and the current head of the Northern Continent Intelligence Network."

I heard that Nordkale recently welcomed a group of alien visitors.

Although this area has never been hostile to outsiders, it is quite rare for five or six aliens to arrive at once.

The crucial point is that my dearest employee was taken away.

So I had to come and take a look.

After Nefert said that, everyone knew why she had come here.

As the current head of an intelligence organization, she couldn't possibly remain indifferent when a group of aliens came to her territory.

So Ying introduced all the people on the Starry Sky Train to Nefer.

Ying doesn't care how much intelligence Nefer can trade with the Star Train, but it shouldn't be a problem for her to act as a go-between between the two sides.

Fortunately, Nefer was not an impatient person. After they got to know each other, she hooked Yakoda in her arms and whispered something to her.

She was clearly asking Yakoda for information about the Star Train.

Seeing that Nefer seemed unwilling to speak, Falga took out a portrait of the Moon Hunters hand-drawn by Abedor, placed it directly on the board, and then said...

"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, I'll get straight to the point."

Our purpose in gathering here today is very clear: to eliminate this enemy that threatens Nordkale and even the entire world—the Moon Hunters.

To my shame, after rushing back from Lake Anvatinil, I actually fought with him after he was resurrected, and my back is still aching.

Upon hearing Falgar's words, Philins immediately confirmed them again.
"You fought the Moon Hunters before?"

Falgar nodded, bluntly admitting defeat once again.

"Yes, he wasn't as strong back then as he is now."

I brought the remaining members of the group to give him a surprise, but he was quite wary.

All my teammates were injured, and I almost died there too.

We all guessed that this might be our last chance, so we risked our lives... but unfortunately, we were still a little short and couldn't save him.

After that, I tried to track him down, but I couldn't find anything.

His alertness was in no way inferior to that of a professional spy, even when he was mentally unstable.

Then, I received intelligence that a large-scale Wild Hunt disaster had suddenly occurred on Xixi Island.

So I decided to lead a group to support the Frostmoon Child, and you all know what happened next.

By the way, the news of the Wild Hunt attack on Xixi Island was given to me by Nefer for free; getting information from her for free is quite rare.

Falga's words, seemingly a jab at Nefer, were actually meant to show the Star Train crew that Nefer wasn't the kind of person who only cared about profit and had no regard for feelings.

Nefer knew that Falgar was speaking up for her, but to prevent anyone from taking advantage and trying to haggle, she immediately said...

"I'm just using you as a scout, you don't need to worry about it."

After all, with such a large-scale wild hunt suddenly occurring, sending ordinary reconnaissance personnel would be suicide no matter how many they went.

"Yakoda had already lost contact at that time, so I could only trick you into going to Xixi Island."

As soon as Nefer finished speaking, Lauma immediately bowed to her and expressed her sincere gratitude.

"Nefel, thank you for your help to the Son of Frostmoon. I will remember this kindness."

Upon hearing this, Nefer immediately retorted.

"I am truly honored that Miss Yongyue will remember my kindness."

I hope that next time you visit the Secret Archives, you won't bring up things that put me in a difficult position.

Even Yakoda could hear the resentment in Nefer's words.

However, even with resentment, Nefer clearly couldn't let go of Lauma.

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear.

Apart from the children like Aino, Claire, and Dulin (Dulin's personality is that of a child), everyone else instantly understood the relationship between the two.

Especially those who had seen Sandoni's Star and March 7th, upon seeing this, all thought they had encountered another arrogant character.

However, the strange looks from the crowd might cause Nefer to "go berserk," so Falgar quickly intervened, interrupting the stares and asking...

"Alright, I've finished reporting my information about the Moon Hunters. Now it's my turn to ask questions."

What exactly happened in Nordkal? Why did a Moonhunter, a member of the Wild Hunt, suddenly resurrect in human form... and why did he attack you?
