Players’ NPC daddy

"Ha~ Really, now I feel like a defense lawyer looking for proof of innocence for my client, but the more I look, the more conclusive the evidence becomes." Greenland scratched the back of his head and laughed heartlessly.

Although she was laughing, there was a hint of bitterness in her laughter.

She was so experienced that she could guess at least ten horrific scenarios just by looking at the scene in front of her.

Looking at the dire state of the Dwarf Kingdom today, there is no doubt that it was caused by mistakes in the planned terrorist plan.

What was the Dwarven Kingdom doing? It was impossible to speculate, but there was no doubt that the entire Dwarven Kingdom, or at least the individuals with the right to speak in the Dwarven Kingdom, had decided that the entire Dwarven Kingdom must participate.

This open mission is suspected to be related to the dwarf race, and its difficulty and scale are probably far beyond those of the Arcadian people.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we could just resolve this incident without anyone knowing?" The tailor pointed this out, then chastised himself. "But that would be like giving up our numerical advantage."

"Quests involving open races usually require a large number of players to participate. If it's just a few of us, it would probably be hellish difficulty."

"Of course, even with Blaze joining the fight, it won't be much easier."

"That's what I said..."

Greenland rubbed his face, took a deep breath and cheered up again.

"Looks like I'll have to make things tough for you. I've long been accustomed to these unreasonable and harsh conditions. Whenever I feel like things are getting tough, I think back to when I faced six Seraphim and seven Serpents of Sin. Recalling the good times, I realize the difficulty now isn't that great."

"I don't mind." The tailor shrugged.

"Then let's keep moving forward!"

Chapter 1860 Unexpected Backstab

Southeast of Asgard, not far from the construction site of the Qian Lord City determined by the Eight Trigrams, is the berth of the last mobile fortress, the Fortress of Destruction.

This nation-destroying disaster that had wreaked havoc on the surface world for at least several hundred years had been largely dismantled and refitted.

To say to what extent the modification has been done, it has basically changed its appearance.

The Ninth Princess had no words to grievance because Blaze was very perceptive and could tell at a glance that she was not a good person. The Fortress of Destruction had attacked human cities many times in the hundreds of years of its activities. Even this time it was caught because it detected a large-scale deployment of personnel and planned to attack.

As a blood-stained weapon, the Fortress of Destruction was not directly dismantled and destroyed, but was recycled and rebuilt, which was already a result of great luck.

The Ninth Princess stayed obediently in the core area. This place had changed from a prison she had only talked about to a real prison, but this was the best result she had ever achieved.

"Tsk, this is trouble." The Ninth Princess smacked her lips. The situation was now very clear.

Blaze, Lupin XIII, and anyone who passed by her knew that she was only pretending to be honest and compromised, and they even knew when she would show her fangs.

What's more troublesome is that she knows that they all know that she chose to be a prisoner now, rather than to fight to the death, because she has full confidence in what is hidden in the treasure land of the Magic Kingdom.

Even her own father didn't understand her so well.

She, who was originally 100% sure, couldn't help but feel uneasy. Now she hoped very much that her father, the King of the Magic Kingdom, was a conspirator with powerful means, who had calculated all the crown princes and was sure to take them all down.

Otherwise, the Magic Kingdom would be a joke from beginning to end.

Click——

The huge, silver-white Gram walked into the core area and began to transform in front of her, covering the core area, no more, no less, just taking away half of it.

"Although the magic technology is backward, it is really difficult to deal with in terms of control. There is no loophole for invasion at all." Blaze walked into the core area with his hands in his pockets.

In order to prevent the Ninth Princess from doing something crazy and launching a surprise attack or taking hostages, only those who are blessed can enter this core area.

"No wonder you didn't protest when we proposed to destroy half of the fortress's control."

"When I protested at that time, wasn't I just saying that I didn't want to live?" The Ninth Princess subconsciously tensed her body. There was no other way. Although Lupin XIII was extremely difficult to deal with in terms of words, at least he would not want to kill her, while Blaze would really do it.

"Don't be nervous. I keep my word and will definitely not destroy you now." Blaze waved his hand, and his frankness made Princess Nine's scalp tingle.

After praying once again that her father, who had long planned to replace her, would be truly capable, the Ninth Princess revealed her charming princess smile.

"Don't smile at me. You don't have the interesting soul of a stranger, and your appearance won't win me any favor here."

"Ah, I'm not prejudiced against your appearance because of the terrible deeds of the Magic Kingdom, but the truth is, your princess face is just ordinary in my memory."

"Of course this is not your fault." Blaze waved his hand seriously at the Ninth Princess. He only told the truth and never deliberately belittled others.

The corner of the Ninth Princess's eye twitched. She almost said that if she was guilty, she should let the law punish her, but she was facing this young man who looked sunny and humble, but actually had a poisonous tongue.

But she is now a princess of a fallen country, and the law is no longer something she can manipulate at will. If the law really punishes her, she will definitely not have the opportunity to redeem herself with meritorious service.

"So how did you take away half of the control of the Fortress of Destruction?" The Ninth Princess stiffly changed the subject.

"It seems you can't feel the changes in the Fortress of Doom. That's really good news." Blaze tapped the Eye of Athena he was carrying. "We replaced the uncontrollable parts of the Fortress of Doom with Age of Gods technology... In simple terms, it's like replacing a human skeleton."

"If you compare the Fortress of Doom to your body, you can control the movements of your muscles, but the bones that support your body are under our control."

"This is different from what we agreed on." The Ninth Princess' expression froze.

She had seen necromancers before and knew clearly how horrific the scene would be if the bones betrayed the flesh.

It is said to be half of the control, but in fact all of it has been taken away.

"It accounts for exactly half. Besides, you don't plan to turn the tables by destroying the fortress." Blaze walked up to the Ninth Princess without any defense, smiling brightly.

"I remember that you scheming and ambitious conspirators all like to talk to smart people. Are you happy now?"

The Ninth Princess's face was almost twitching.

"Are you taking out your stress on me?"

"No, I just breathed a sigh of relief and am extremely happy now. I am in a state of slight oblivion." Blaze shrugged, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore."

"I'd like to know some details about your battle for the crown prince, such as what the King of the Magic Kingdom imagines your battle to be like. I'd also appreciate your personal understanding."

"It's still a personal understanding..."

The Ninth Princess gave up struggling. Not to mention speaking frankly, it was no different from being honest now. She was too lazy to pretend to be docile. She half-closed her eyes and stared at Blaze sharply.

"I think the king's fantasy is to raise a Gu, have the nine of us fight using a mobile fortress, then use the mobile fortress's ability to absorb minerals and repair itself to devour other mobile fortresses, ultimately creating a super mobile fortress that combines the abilities of all nine mobile fortresses and is fully powered by the Sun Gem."

"Of course, this isn't meant to be educational, like, 'What you've earned through your hard work is the legacy I've prepared for you, enabling the Magic Kingdom to rise again.' Rather, it's part of a wedding dress I'm preparing for him."

"Well, I have to say that this plan really doesn't take other kingdoms into consideration." Blaze knew that at that time, there were two survivors of the Age of Gods in the Holy Cross Kingdom, one openly and one secretly, controlling the variables of the entire top world.

If that super mobile fortress really had the possibility of being created, it would have been destroyed long ago.

But this time Theresa was clean and had done nothing.

"In order for you to fight each other, you should have had a way to locate each other. At the very least, you should have had a way to locate the Sun Gem fragments."

"Can you determine the locations of several mobile fortresses lost to history?"

"Of course, it's possible, but unfortunately, one of them is gone forever." The Ninth Princess spread her hands regretfully. "It was probably codenamed Mercury. It was affected by the expulsion magic launched by the Holy Cross against the Ancient Giant Kingdom hundreds of years ago. Ah, it should be called "Turning the World Upside Down." I'm afraid it will never be found."

"Boiled!"

Chapter 1861 Memory Correction

Blazer scratched his hair hard and said, how could Theresa not be involved in the conspiracy about the human history of the top world.

She said before that it had nothing to do with her, so it turns out she was waiting for him here!

Although he didn't hold out much hope of collecting all the fragments of the Sun Gem, he had hoped to do so. But now, he definitely couldn't find it.

Wasn’t the expulsion magic that the Holy Cross launched against the Ancient Giant Kingdom hundreds of years ago the same one that happened with the treasure miners?

Isn't the location of exile a vertical hell? Given the weight of the mobile fortress, it must have fallen out of the world and disappeared into nothingness.

Theresa may not have intentionally targeted the mobile fortress, but she definitely wanted to destroy it as well.

Of course, regarding the mobile fortress and the sun gem fragments, Theresa cannot be blamed entirely. After all, the activity patterns of the mobile fortress are not something she can control.

Blazer pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache and said to Jasmine, "Jasmine, have Theresa compile a detailed log of her activities. I want her to be mentally prepared for any future pitfalls."

[I'm afraid this is a little impossible...] Jasmine laughed awkwardly twice. She had nothing to say about what her mom and dad did.

[Mom, Dad has separated and preserved his own personality and memories. Detailed records are all stored in the personality of the body he was using at the time. Those have been deleted by the other dad.]

"Really? Then there's nothing we can do about it." Blaze wanted to know about Theresa's past just to be prepared.

But if he thought about it carefully, he actually had enough psychological expectations, but Theresa would always suddenly attack from unexpected places.

"Since the fragments of the Sun Gem can no longer be collected, there must be other ways to advance and make up for it."

Blaze pinched his chin and looked at the picture and text copied from the sunstone.

Although it was incomplete, Marika could instinctively understand that it was not unwatchable.

Maybe you don't need to collect all of them, just most of them can roughly guess the meaning.

As for the possibility that a complete sun gem might be needed to activate some mechanisms in the treasure land, there is no need to worry about that, as he is carrying a sun goddess on his back.

But just in case, I still ordered a complete sun gem from [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

"That mysterious man...how much do you know about him?" Blaze got to the point. He planned to find an opportunity to tell Marika his speculation.

Because the consequences were serious, he needed as much evidence as possible so that Marika could be prepared.

The Ninth Princess was silent for a moment. This time it wasn't because she wanted to keep something to herself, but because she really didn't know much.

"He always met with the king in secret, and most of the time it was at night. Although I worked hard to develop the intelligence department, unfortunately, I was unable to catch them every time. The fact that I was able to learn about the conspiracy of the Immortal Tribe was already the result of my hard work in developing the intelligence department."

Basically, the only ones who can move only at night are vampires and dwarves. However, vampires are generally slender and like to show off their ageless appearance, so the mysterious man is most likely a dwarf.

But it is normal to talk about unknown secrets on a dark and windy night. Who would plot in broad daylight? This cannot be used as evidence.

The best way is to face the King of the Magic Kingdom directly. Only the King has seen this mysterious man who seems to know the secret of the Sun Chariot.

"The treasure place of the Magic Kingdom... Do you really know nothing about it?" Blaze glanced at the Ninth Princess. Since the Ninth Princess had been trying to find out about the mysterious man and the king, there was no reason for her not to know the treasure place.

The Ninth Princess shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"How long do you think it took between the king making a deal with the mysterious man and then cleverly sending his army to attack the Immortal Tribe, extracting souls to create the Magic Creation Army, and ultimately causing the Magic Creation Army to completely spiral out of control?"

"In that short time, let alone creating a treasure trove that could conceal the Magic Kingdom's power to conquer the world, I'm afraid even that power hasn't been created yet."

"So... you know it now."

"I see." Blaze nodded in understanding, and some contradictions were resolved.

Why does the Sun Gem record the treasure location of the Magic Kingdom, rather than the location where the Immortal Tribe hides the Sun Chariot as they speculated?

Because they were not wrong in their guess. It was just that the King of the Magic Kingdom chose to usurp the throne and used the location of the Immortal Tribe's hidden Sun Chariot as the treasure trove of the Magic Kingdom.

The King of the Magic Kingdom also had reasons to do so. Without the chance to obtain the invincible body promised by the mysterious man, the Sun Chariot that could rejuvenate people was naturally the only choice.

This is good news. Although the Immortal Tribe has disappeared in history, the kingdom’s army that attacked the Immortal Tribe is very familiar with it, and there happens to be a person from that era in front of him.

"You know the exact location of the Immortal Tribe, right?" Blaze said with certainty.

The Ninth Princess just smiled.

"If I had some hint, I would be able to remember it."

"I didn't expect you to be this type." Blaze's expression became strange, but he still pulled out Gungnir from behind with a reluctant look.

"Then I'll try to control my strength."

"Wait, wait!" The Ninth Princess took a step back and shouted, "Do you think I'm hinting at a favor? I'm not that stupid. Doing this without any trump card is nothing but suicide!"

"I thought you were that? The kind of person who keeps talking even though he knows he's going to get nothing out of it."

"I'm not a pervert," the Ninth Princess gritted her teeth and finally said, "Even if I'm a death row inmate, I'm still the fallen princess of the sinister Magic Kingdom. You don't have the wickedness to humiliate me before killing me!"

"That's not the case. You need a rough map, and then use your previous memories to complete it." Blaze put Gungnir back on his back and corrected seriously.

"I'm worried that you need a little stimulation to recall memories from hundreds of years ago."

"No need, I remember it very clearly." The Ninth Princess' voice was cold and hard.

A day later, the fragments of the Sun Gem preserved by the Holy Cross Kingdom and the Giant Kingdom were sent to the Fortress of Destruction. The only known fragment of the Sun Gem left was in the hands of the Freemasons.

Unexpectedly, Lupin XIII brought the piece with him, and he didn't steal it, but asked for it directly.

Chapter 1862: A Few Things About the Treasure Map

There are two pieces from the alliance between the Holy Cross Kingdom and the Giant Kingdom, four pieces provided by Lupin XIII, one piece from the power source of the Fortress of Destruction, and one piece in the hands of the Freemasons, a total of seven pieces.

In other words, they already own most of the complete map.

Generally speaking, missing a piece is fatal, but Lupin XIII, a professional thief, proposed such a gambling hypothesis.

A treasure map does indeed only show the location of the treasure, but that is only limited to the type of treasure that contains pure wealth, which is of a relatively [low-level] type.
