After realizing that the two did not fight, or to be more precise, Helios did not beat Cyrene, Blaze withdrew his gaze and connected with Hebi.

"I asked you to find some high-quality fertilizer, but you found me an alien space instead." Hebi looked at the five elements organ space with great interest, and frowned subconsciously when he saw the desert.

As a businesswoman, she hated the desert, a place where there was no profit to be made.

"The part about high-grade fertilizer is also done."

"Is the focus now on high-grade fertilizer, you who can't tell priorities apart." Herbie nudged Blazer's waist with his elbow.

"It's lifeblood. You've discovered something that could start a war."

Blazer spread his hands. As long as it involves prolonging life, war is inevitable. After all, survival is the instinct of life, and the desire for things that can prolong life is inevitable.

However, compared to the monsters' simple and rough way of directly robbing, humans are more roundabout.

"If possible, I want you to build a large post station where the snake dug its hole and guard the entrance to the Lifeblood Lake."

"Well, I'll find someone reliable."

"There are some things about..." Blaze paused and arranged the order of what he wanted to say according to Herbie's priority.

"The Olympian Games are about chariot races. I'm looking for the Sun Chariot right now."

"Oh~"

A thoughtful glint flashed in Hebi's eyes. As a businesswoman, she also understood the cost of chariot racing.

But compared to Blaze's consideration of whether to hold the chariot race, her idea was how to squeeze more profits from the chariot race to recover the costs.

"It's a waste to only have one or two chariot races. In addition to chariot racing, there must also be chariot battles. However, this chariot battle can't just be a battle between contestants. There must also be a monster hunting competition."

"This is not a good idea. Hunting monsters so casually can easily lead to their extinction, even if they are harmful monsters." Blaze shook his head.

"Don't refuse so quickly. I didn't say I want to hunt monsters that already exist in the world." Herbie narrowed her eyes, smiled and waved at Blaze, asking Blaze to bend down, as she wanted to whisper something to him.

Herbie leaned close to Blaze's ear, breathing hot air from his little mouth, his crystal lips barely touching Blaze's ear.

"Did you know that planting dragon teeth in the ground can produce dragon-toothed people? We'll then divide the points for the dragon-toothed people by size and type, and then let the contestants prepare their own dragon teeth for sowing."

"Participants can hunt for their own crops, or they can hunt for crops grown by others. How's that? That's a good idea, isn't it?"

Chapter 1816 I Don’t Recognize You

Hebi's idea was a bit unethical and unfair. Originally, the chariots prepared by different people would be different due to their financial resources, and now even Dragon Fang had to prepare it himself.

There are also differences between dragon teeth. The teeth of sub-dragons, flying dragons, hybrid ancient dragons, etc. can all grow into dragon tooth people in the earth, but there will be huge differences due to the different origins of the dragon teeth.

At that time, the points-based competition will definitely calculate different scores due to the differences between the Dragon Tooth people, making the already unfair competition even more unfair.

It seems that Hebi gave people the opportunity to snatch the dragon teeth sown by others, but in fact, if they have the ability to snatch heads from people who sow high-level dragon teeth, then their skills and tank level must be high.

But Blaze had nothing to say. Chariot racing itself was unfair. If you were going to participate in a chariot race, you had to face this unfairness.

However, after Blaze thought about it carefully, it seemed that the foreigners liked to defeat the strong with the weak, and often challenged the enemy naked. Maybe during the chariot race, the chariots they used paid more attention to their maneuverability than their usability.

After thinking about it, Blaze let it go and moved on to the next question.

"Do you have any information on the Fortress of Destruction? I heard it's roaming World U."

"The Fortress of Destruction. I feel a little nostalgic when I hear its name after such a long time." Herbie touched his chin and recalled this big trouble from his memory.

"A year and a half ago, they were the main target of attack by foreigners. Aside from the Titans, these guys were the most conspicuous, running rampant across the continent."

"But it's still a nation-destroying boss after all. The chances of winning an unprepared encounter are practically zero. Even top-tier guilds need extensive preparation to successfully hunt it. No, should I say, destroy it."

"To be honest, I'm still quite curious about the magical craftsmanship involved. It's a lost technology. Nowadays, we can only use it, not manufacture it."

"We were able to repair Vienna because the foreigners defeated four mobile fortresses and then replaced them with the undamaged parts they salvaged."

"So do you have any information?" Blaze poked Herbie's cheek with his finger. He was obviously asking for information, but Herbie began to hint to him that she wanted the complete Fortress of Destruction.

"Hmm..." Hebi, unusually, didn't resist, but instead fell silent. After a long moment, he awkwardly changed the subject. "You know, my status has skyrocketed since I became the president of Hermes's Traveling Hat—no, it started a year and a half ago. I no longer need to rely on selling intelligence to expand my network."

"So~" Herbie raised his head and blinked at Blaze innocently.

The summary is, I don’t know, but if I want to have a piece of the pie, even though it may be embarrassing, I still have to ask for it shamelessly.

"No idea?"

"That's not the case." Hebi sighed. She wouldn't be so careless. After all, he was a BOSS capable of destroying a country.

"This last mobile fortress, the Fortress of Doom, arrived in World R after several major upheavals. There are very few human towns there. There's only one, Asgard, which is only half a world. It's quite unfriendly to an organization like ours that relies on humans for intelligence."

"But even though we're unfriendly, we still have some things we need to build. The Asgard branch should have a lot of intelligence on the activities of the Fortress of Destruction. You'll have to go there and get it yourself."

"You, the boss, don't even know about this? Could it be!?" Blaze's mind immediately started to wander, thinking about the power struggle in [Hermes's Brigade Cap], the rebelliousness of the branch, the intention to become independent, and so on.

Herbie rolled his eyes at Blaze, and Blaze's thoughts were written all over his face.

She just wanted to say that it was impossible, not only because the branch would not have such an idea, but also because it was simply impossible to do.

But how could she explain this to Blaze? Should she tell Blaze that she had tried to split, become independent, and seize power more than once before, only to have failed time and time again?

"Isn't it because I've been in so much trouble lately? Let me count them for you..."

Herbie counted on his fingers the events of the past year and a half, starting from the Battle of the Nemean Giants and ending with the invasion of Tiamat a few days ago.

In the past, [Hermes's Travel Hat] could support one major event after another and easily make a fortune from it just by moving his little finger.

But starting from the Battle of the Nemean Giants, [Hermes's Traveling Cap] has been escalated time and again from being something that can be solved with just a flick of the finger to a point where it requires a big fight, a gamble of everything, and even a state of panic and inattention to the consequences.

In the middle of the process, the treacherous guy Cyrene took away all the liquidity of [Hermes' Travel Cap], forcing them to launch gem coins.

Even now there is the World Barrier, a money-devouring behemoth project, how could the current [Hermes's Travel Cap] have the time to specifically track down the small Fortress of Destruction?

What’s going on? How many worlds can this big thing destroy?

If it can't cause a huge upheaval, it's not worth watching. Don't waste the precious manpower and resources of [Hermes's Travel Hat].

Hebi complained and poured out his grievances, and of course his main target was Cyrene.

Blazer could only laugh dryly on the side. After all, he had always been the one who increased Herbie's workload. Even now, Herbie was always on call.

He was also powerless, and all he could do was to make things as convenient for Herbi as possible, such as achieving more results, and then getting close to Herbi openly or secretly, so that the Kingdom Alliance and the like knew about his relationship with Herbi.

Herbie muttered and complained for a long time before he realized what had happened. He touched the back of his head embarrassedly and apologized to Blaze.

She heard a word from a stranger, called emotional trash can. Now that she was complaining to Blaze, wasn't she treating Blaze as an emotional trash can?

Blazer didn't care. As long as he could help Herbie, he didn't care what method was used.

Besides, Herbie is very cute. When she mumbles, her voice is vague and baby-like. I can’t hear what she is saying clearly, but it’s quite enjoyable to just listen to her.

"Ahem, I suggest that when you go to Asgard, it's best to go with Marika." Herbie coughed lightly with a strange expression.

"You should know that Asgard is managed by Marika and Odin."

"Yeah." Blaze was a little confused.

"Then do you know how long it has been since you, the legitimate successor to Asgard and the undisputed current King of Asgard, last appeared?"

"Uh..." Blaze thought seriously for a while, and the answer he got made him feel embarrassed.

It seems like never.

"You're right. It seems the Einherjar there no longer recognize you as the King of Asgard."

Chapter 1817: Go to Asgard and make a big fuss

The title of King of Asgard was given by Odin, and it was given quite casually, as a gift to Odin's adopted son.

Odin was the former king of Asgard, and the second-generation one-eyed Balder was the former king of Asgard. Isn’t he, Odin’s adopted son, the current king of Asgard?

Apart from anything else, his ascension to the throne was truly significant. Entrusted by Odin, he killed Balder, who had usurped the throne to become the second-generation King of Asgard, and ascended the throne.

Blaze never thought about becoming the king of Asgard. Being a king was too far away for him, a simple apple boy. His greatest courage and desire was to walk out of the city gate.

But this does not mean that he will shirk his responsibilities as King of Asgard, which was inherited from Odin, and if Asgard needs him, he will take the position immediately.

But I didn’t expect that in less than a year, his position as the King of Asgard would be lost?

Blaze covered his face and thought carefully about Herbie's words. He almost rolled over Herbie's words in his mind before repeating them in a daze.

"You don't recognize me as the King of Asgard?"

"It's not so much that I deny you, it's more like I suspect you're just a facade." Herbie tried hard to control his expression, his face flushed red, as if he was telling a joke that would make everyone laugh.

"You know, the prerequisite for a title to be recognized is that the other party must understand the relevant factors of the title."

"Just like those mermaids don't recognize your Leo, the Heroic Einherjar don't recognize any of your titles besides [Blind], including Leo, the Destined King, and so on."

"Oh, there's another one, ahem—" Herbie covered his mouth and let out a few dry laughs, reaching out to pat Blaze's lower back. "The sons of Pisces, they admit this, because they are also on the Cloud Sea Behemoth's defense line."

"But it seems that this makes me look down on you even more, saying that you haven't left your mother's milk yet, haha~"

The corner of Blaze's eye twitched. It turned out that this kind of thing had happened in a corner he didn't know about.

Is it a bit too much to say "never leave mother's milk"? But if we judge by the fact that "his strongest attack is to shatter the world and summon Tiamat", then he may never be able to get rid of the label of "never leave mother's milk" in his life.

"Ma, Marika never told me this?"

"Maybe it's because Marika doesn't know. Marika is the real Queen of Asgard, no, it should be the Empress. Every Heroic Warrior fanatically worships her. How could they possibly say something bad about you in front of her?"

"Ha~~~" Blaze let out a long breath. He wanted to ignore it, but he didn't want to embarrass Marika.

He used to think that with his current reputation, he would be cheered wherever he went, or at least respected. However, he didn't expect that Asgard would slip through the net.

Not only did it leak, but it was a huge leak, and he had a bad reputation there.

It wouldn't be like this originally, but he is the king of Asgard, and he is very conspicuous even when he is not there, and Marika is there for comparison.

Marika is so outstanding that he, the faceless boss, naturally looks inconspicuous in comparison.

"If I defeat the Fortress of Doom, I'll probably gain some prestige among the Einherjar. At least they won't laugh at me openly."

"Unfortunately, they can't." Herbie shrugged after laughing enough. "The Doom Fortress can't even get close to Asgard, let alone attack it. Those Heroic Warriors are lucky enough to know what magical technology is, let alone a super magical crystal like the Doom Fortress."

"Oh! If you don't know, then you don't know! Anyway, I'm not going here for the reputation." Blaze waved his hands vigorously and simply gave up struggling.

"I don't think the Heroic Einherjar are the type to hide their temper. At worst, if they provoke me, I'll just fight them back. A few more blows and the problem will be solved."

"The Einherjar are immortal anyway."

"Well said. By the way, emphasize to them the relationship between you and Hermes's Traveling Cap. It seems that these undeads only think about fighting and eating. They never come to our shop to shop." Herbie said the key point.

"Einherjar make up 80% of Asgard's population. If 80% of a city's people don't consume and choose to lie low and let things rot, how can we develop the economy?"

“Without economic development, is there any future?”

"Heroic Einherjar lying down and playing lousy..."

Blaze couldn't help laughing, because what Herbie meant by "the Einherjar lying down and playing rotten" was that the Einherjar did not consume or make money, but just fought each other every day and then enjoyed unlimited barbecue and fine wine.

It’s also thanks to the Heroic Warriors that they don’t get tired of eating barbecue and drinking fine wine.

[Hermes's Travel Hat] once tried to prepare good food and drinks in Asgard, but accidents kept happening, and all the manpower and material resources were concentrated on providing red logistical resources for various major events.

As for the operation of Asgard, it all depends on the civilian Heroic Warriors who accidentally enter Valhalla and the strangers from various large guilds.

To be honest, relying on these two groups of people alone is totally insufficient. The frequency of foreigners' activities in Asgard is much lower than in other places, even lower than that in the Giant Snowfield and Giant Volcano.

Although there is an extremely large and vast unknown area here, the strangers are somewhat negative because there is no trace of human beings except Asgard, and there are no towns as save points and teleportation points.

Only a small group of foreigners known as the "Autistic Party" would be active in completely wild areas, which is very unfavorable for development.

There are many strangers, more than 200 million people, but there are even more unknown areas in this world, a total of six worlds, and the six worlds will undergo drastic changes after the earth-shaking, with monsters evolving, terrain changing, and so on.

If Asgard does not find a way to provide convenience for outsiders to explore, the development progress of World R will be far slower than other places.

The development progress is only a relatively small impact.

A relatively large and direct impact is the construction progress of the World Barrier. The World Barrier is the only buffer when two different environments meet during a period of upheaval. Except for the ocean areas where construction cannot begin, all regions are more or less carrying out the construction of the World Barrier.

But only in World R, after a barrier was built by the Tree of Life during the Battle of Themis Kaliphosa, there was no further construction work on the entire side.

"It seems that I have to go to Asgard."

"Not only must we go, but we must also cause a big commotion. It would be best if we could take these Heroic Warriors with us to destroy the Fortress of Destruction."

Chapter 1818: Muddy Unexplored Land

Asgard is the most complete building of the Age of Gods that is preserved today. It is a piece of the [World Tree], the only designated victor of the Age of Gods. It is also the only known civilized building in World R.
