"Just in case, we should do an experiment now and drive the monsters from the Old Holy City here."

Expelling the monsters was a simple matter, as they were extremely violent and could be drawn in with just a single bait. Considering that these monsters were capable of flight and that a long distance would result in errors, the Fairy Kingdom had also built a portal in the Old Holy City.

As soon as the two portals connected, a large group of monsters from the old holy city came directly to the sunny ground world.

The monsters were startled at first, but their attention was soon drawn to the huge light in the sky. That was life, and the monsters in the abyss craved life.

And the way they express their desire is to monopolize it.

But these monsters are destined to be unable to reach the sun, and they can't even leave here.

One portal after another opened, and more than a hundred strangers walked out of the portal carrying weapons. The leader opened his arms and shouted loudly.

"Welcome! Experience points! Materials! Skills!"

……

"The foreigners should be fighting fiercely right now." Blaze touched the back of his head. Basically all the foreigners in the [Fairy Kingdom] went back to fight monsters. They have been building teleportation towers in recent days. They must be itching to do something.

The huge fairy teleportation tower did not become deserted because of the departure of the foreigners. The undead legions of the Supreme Prince were extremely interested in this magical building and were curiously touching and looking around inside.

From now on, there is no need to worry about the security of this fairy teleportation tower.

After wandering around for a while, Blaze came to the core that supported the entire building.

Although the entire tower is built on this vertical complex, the vertical complex is built on the statue of the Virgin Mary. So the bearing capacity of the statue of the Virgin Mary is beyond imagination.

In the future, this fairy teleportation tower will become a bridge between the vertical hell and the ground world, which is of great significance, so Blaze wanted to thank this statue of the Virgin Mary.

But Blazer didn't notice, or perhaps he had forgotten, that he had previously gifted the statue a white flower, and now the flower had become part of the statue of the Virgin Mary, just as the sculptor had originally carved a lovely white flower for the Virgin Mary.

Chapter 251 The Location of the Troops

Guild wars are wars between foreigners, but some foreigners hold high positions in many organizations, so the scale of this war has expanded to the scope of the entire continent.

But fortunately, the war took place in the land of foreigners and would not affect the towns, so this war called the Guild War was a lively show for most people on the continent.

There are also hidden business opportunities.

"As long as there's money to be made, I, Herbie Hermes, will be there!"

[Hermes' Traveling Hat] In the partner meeting room, many senior partners hiding in the darkness stared blankly at Herbie who was doing a Hercules back stretch.

"Hermes, don't you only perform this kind of funny behavior in front of the Black Beast Knight?"

The current president of the Chamber of Commerce, the man sitting at the back, put down the business order in his hand, held his forehead and made a headache gesture.

"That's right, so you guys have to pay for the show."

"Let's get down to business." The president ignored Hebi, crossed his fingers, and revealed a serious expression. "Recently, our Chamber of Commerce's teleportation tower in the Holy Cross Kingdom was sealed off. It's a serious matter, so I asked you to come to the meeting."

"What? I thought you knew that I was planning to make some money in the strangers' guild war." Unlike the serious senior partners around him, Herby sat in his seat with ease.

"This wouldn't be the first time. When I was trying to be a middleman for non-human races like the Sky Giants, didn't they also seal off the teleportation tower for a while? And it ended up being open again."

"Last time, it was the corrupt upper echelons who wanted to gain more benefits from us, but this time it's different. It's an official notice issued by someone at the level of a cardinal."

Hearing the word "Cardinal", Herbie showed a serious expression.

Cardinals were second in the Holy Cross Empire's power ladder, second only to the Pope. Even every Pope was chosen from among the cardinals. Even the most revered saints were, under certain circumstances, dispatched by cardinals.

So this is really a serious problem.

"Their reason is that there are blasphemous heretics among the [Hermes' Traveling Hat], and only after these heretics are expelled will they allow the Chamber of Commerce to continue operating in the Holy Cross."

"Great! Kick them!" Herbie immediately raised her hands and cheered, because all the senior partners present were not human, and the president was suspected to be not human either. This meant that all the senior executives of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] were out, and she alone took over all the power.

"They're kicking you out by name."

"Huh?" Herbie was stunned. "I'm a legitimate human. I even met with a bishop-level figure on your behalf and finalized the contract... Ah~ Arcadia."

Herbie immediately understood what she meant, and the joy on her face turned into a sneer. She was just pretending to be a child, but she wasn't really a child. She had spent two-thirds of her life cheating and outwitting others.

"The Arcadians, descendants of the noble Silver Clan, a people who serve the great moon, a kingdom of mixed race, it would be strange if they didn't care."

The Holy Cross Church preached the equality of all life, arguing that faith and purity alone made a person noble. But the Silver Clan transformed the adjective "noble" into a name, imbued with nobility.

The Holy Cross Theocracy proclaims that their god is unique, while the Silver Clan believes in the Moon God.

Finally, there is the Half-Blood Kingdom. With the Giant Kingdom already existing, another Half-Blood Kingdom has emerged. It would be strange if the Holy Cross Kingdom did not target it.

"So you're going to kick me out?" Herbie raised his chin, not panicking at all.

"No, considering your outstanding contributions over the years and the increasingly high taxes in the Holy Cross State... kicking you out would be a financial problem." The president shrugged and made his position clear.

"But we can't just ignore the ordinary people of the Holy Cross. Our Chamber of Commerce provides them with many jobs. If we stop operating, those people will lose their jobs, and disputes and chaos will ensue, which won't be good for business."

"You want me to kill the cardinal who made the decision?" Herbie scratched his neck with his index finger, implying that he would kill him.

Herbie was just joking, but the people around him were silent, as if to take silence as an answer. Herbie straightened his back and responded with a firm look of rejection.

After a long time, the president finally sighed.

"Of course not. We are merchants, liars, and thieves, but definitely not executioners. Blood-stained gold coins only bring curses and misfortune. As businessmen, we cannot hand such ominous gold coins to our customers."

"The most they can do is fabricate some scandal about that cardinal and get him out of office."

"It doesn't make any difference." Hebi breathed a sigh of relief, resting his chin on his hand as he flipped through the documents on his desk. "So, do you want me to find some people to go to the Holy Cross to investigate which cardinal is responsible?"

"Now the Holy Cross has shut down our teleportation tower and set up defenses at the border. We no longer have any way to enter the Holy Cross, but they can."

"Strangers, during the guild war, they will generate teleportation crystals in their respective guilds, which can directly reach other guilds." Hebi closed the file. She understood what the president meant.

When entering the Holy Cross Religious State through guild wars, considering the large number of foreigners involved with the Holy Cross Religious State and the Holy Cross Religious State's mechanism of exchanging contributions for heretical intelligence, it is necessary to select foreigners who have no connection with the Holy Cross Religious State at all.

To be honest, almost every foreigner has used the city’s church for teleportation or resurrection, which is more or less related to the Holy Cross Church.

But there is a special kind of stranger who walks on the path of evil, is absolutely evil, and has no allies in this world.

"That's difficult. You should know that the guilds in the Holy Cross are basically all affiliated with the Freemasons and the Brotherhood. Even the current Azazel can't do anything to them. How can six people possibly break in?"

"It would be much easier if we took Blaze with us."

Herbie narrowed his eyes and subconsciously tightened his hand on the document. The sound of the paper crinkling was extremely harsh in the silent dark space, like the roar of a mother animal protecting her cub.

"He... doesn't like fighting with strangers, and certainly won't actively attack others."

"But he can do that for you, can't he?"

"You threaten me." Herbie's eye twitched, but the president remained calm.

"No, I'm just giving you the benefit of concessions. But the Black Beast Knight Blaze has other benefits."

The president placed his crossed hands on his mouth, as if trying to hide his smile.

"[The Centaurs are in the Holy Cross Empire], just tell him so, and he will definitely go."

"This is his mission, and the fate of the Black Beast Knight."

Chapter 252 Where the War Occurred

Speakeasy.

There are a few more customers today. They are leisurely savoring the wine prepared by the store manager, ordering some snacks from time to time, and spending their time watching the projected Tom and Jerry in great comfort.

The female manager was very satisfied with this, but the grilled squid ordered by the guests at table three still did not appear, which made her arms bulge with veins, and she crushed a piece of ice with her bare hands.

She pulled open the kitchen door with force, and sure enough, the woman who claimed to pay the rent with labor was squatting on the ground, fanning the carbonized squid with a fan quite carelessly, while watching the news on her mobile phone with gritted teeth and gurgling sounds.

"These little pawns, who could have captured them all, but this guy!"

"And you want me to be your bodyguard again?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The woman nodded repeatedly, but she soon realized something. She shrank her neck and tried to escape, but in an instant, her neck was pinched by a pair of iron-like hands.

"How dare you be lazy! Believe it or not, I will cut off your flesh to pay off the debt!"

"Alas--"

……

"Grilled squid for table number three. Sorry to have kept you waiting." The woman raised her voice sweetly, and the impatient customer was stunned for a moment. Finally, he scratched the back of his head, smiled foolishly, took the squid, and forgave the waitress for being late.

The female store manager held her chin in her hand and was speechless for a while. The woman put on some makeup and changed the curvature of her lower eye corners, and she became a pitiful and pure girl.

Looking at the woman who was fooling the customers around with her looks and her rhetoric, the female store manager retaliated by switching the TV channel that was playing Tom and Jerry to the news channel. The latest news was naturally about the gang of thugs who were recently busted for using illegally modified machines.

The customers were not dissatisfied with this, but instead started a serious discussion.

Some people wondered, "Isn't it just a gaming pod? Why all the fuss?" Where there's doubt, there's an explanation. Someone immediately launched into a detailed explanation of the vicious incident from a year ago, and began to discuss it.

Just then, a photo of a beautiful woman appeared on the news. The host reminded the audience that she was a wanted criminal and dangerous. If anyone found any clues, they should call the police immediately. Most importantly, they should not look her in the eye or talk to her.

The woman standing among the customers clenched her fists and began to tremble. The female manager thought she was afraid, but the woman slowly turned her head.

Her eyes narrowed, her face flushed, and the corners of her mouth curled into a heart-wrenching grin. Her pitiful exterior couldn't hide the demon beneath. The thrill of being exposed to everyone, the possibility of being snatched away at any moment, excited her immensely.

The female store manager held her forehead helplessly and turned the channel back. She didn't want to cooperate with this perverted and strange self-abuse habit.

When the last customer left, the woman wiped the table obediently, but the female manager was playing with the cup in her hand out of boredom.

"What was your mindset when you did those things to that kidnapper a year ago?"

"Hmm~ I knew you would ask this."

The woman seemed to not care about this problem at all. She leaned against the table and leisurely turned the rag.

"Objectively, I was trying to rescue those innocent children who had been kidnapped. That's what I thought at first, but in the end, I actually enjoyed it. I just found a reason to commit a crime that seemed just."

"So you're only targeting those small thugs now? Are you sure your program is fine and won't endanger lives?" The female store manager's eyes twitched. If it weren't for this woman's repeated assurances that there would be absolutely no problems, she wouldn't help as a bodyguard.

Although the validity of this woman's guarantee also depends on the circumstances.

"No, I got enough data a year ago, and now this is the finished product." The woman grabbed the rag, and the dirty water was squeezed out and fell into the bucket at the woman's feet.

The clean water in the bucket gradually became turbid.

"But if the new machine developed by my dear friend is made lighter and combined with my program...tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, war might just start."

The woman smiled mysteriously, and she seemed to have something else to say, but the female store manager didn't want to continue playing the role of the empty-headed one in a conspiracy.

"But you've been exposed, and the person you finally found has been arrested. Your plan has failed."

"Who said their capture wasn't part of my plan? They did their job very diligently." The woman walked to the counter, took the remote control and turned on the TV. The news was still reporting on the capture of the gang, with the illegal expansion of sensory technology highlighted in red.

"Now I don't have to go out of my way to find someone; people who want to use it will find me on their own."

……

[G] In the conference room, the geniuses discussed something with a rare serious look on their faces.

The news report naturally caused a huge uproar online. Although the news only released a photo of the woman, the internet had already uncovered almost everything about her, including the fact that she had once been a member of [G].

This was not something worth concealing. The situation was announced when the incident happened a year ago. In addition, the sensory expansion technology was not developed by [G], but by the company that developed the game cabin, so this incident did not have much impact on [G].

So the discussion on the Internet is about how [G] should solve the problem of plug-ins and whether plug-ins will cause harm to the human body.

This is the real headache. Careful testing will result in a complete violation of human rights. Not to mention whether or not technology to expand the senses is used, even what you are thinking in your mind can be recorded.

"What on earth was that guy thinking?"

"No! I can't think about what that guy is thinking, or I'll be assimilated!"

"If you can't even recall your facial expressions, you'll be brainwashed!"

Penguin, who was not in the situation, was completely bewildered. These people seemed to be discussing something indescribable. He decided not to dwell on this question, but instead raised his hand earnestly to offer his opinion.

"Will this incident affect the sales of our new machine? To be honest, we have invested quite a lot."

"It shouldn't be affected. This product is just our officially authorized "Godlock" collaboration model. The one with the new features is a special edition, and it's quite expensive."

The geniuses were too careless, and the only headache they had was not knowing what the woman was trying to do.

Penguin stood up helplessly and left the meeting room.

The entire company was shrouded in darkness. No one knew what was going on in the minds of these geniuses, holding a meeting in the middle of the night.

He was walking alone in a long and narrow corridor when he suddenly stopped and his eyes stopped on a door handle with several scratches on it.

His years of experience in gaming told him that it was a sign of someone prying it open.

Someone has hacked into [G].
