My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

The two clicked instantly the moment their eyes met.

Although this woman seems to be the type who causes a lot of trouble, she's still better than the Golden Emperor of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce, who looks like he's full of scheming and cunning.

As for twilight, needless to say.

Purely negative improvement.

However, Weiss had just opened his mouth, wanting to strike up a conversation with the Time Princess.

Then, the Golden Emperor, sitting opposite them, spoke slowly and calmly: "Lady Time Consort, please..."

"It's been hundreds of years since your Star Clock and our Starry Sky Merchant Guild have had a proper talk, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhifei's expression gradually became somewhat complicated.

After a few seconds of silence, she angrily stubbed out her cigarette on the table, then got up and walked out of the conference room, speechless. Huang Jindi quickly followed her.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and inform Weiss that they had chosen to head south.

Then the two figures disappeared one after the other at the end of the corridor.

In this way, only Weiss and Twilight remained of the ten kings in the room.

The two of them just sat there blankly.

There wasn't even eye contact throughout the entire process.

Miss Star, Snow Knight, and Adele all looked at Weiss with very sympathetic eyes.

This group seems unlikely to achieve its targets no matter what.

I don't know if I'll ultimately be able to get a third of the bounty rewards from the other groups...

"Mr. Weiss, keep it up, sigh~~~"

Miss Xing expressed her feelings with a long, drawn-out sigh.

Weiss didn't say much. He nodded to Adele and the Snow Knight as a greeting, then got up and walked out of the conference room by himself.

Since the other three directions have been chosen, all that's left for them is the territory to the north.

Since the south and west sides had already been chosen, what was left for him was the north side of the royal city.

Weiss opened the map interface of the World Book to take a look at the general area.

A large part of it was exactly the route they took during the latter half of their migration from Crescent Moon City, so the terrain wasn't unfamiliar, which was somewhat good news.

However, to Weiss's utter surprise, Twilight, who had been silent and invisible since the start of the meeting, actually followed behind him with his rapier in hand, head down, taking small, quick steps.

Her fluffy, misty green braid hung down in front of her chest, swaying back and forth.

It seems this woman isn't entirely without sense.

That's true, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Golden Silkworm City to participate in the event in the first place...

It's not even noon yet, and there are still more than ten hours before Miss Xing activates her ability for the first time. There's plenty of time, so he's not walking too fast, and his stride is kept within a range that allows Twilight behind him to keep up.

The two maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far, walking along the streets of Golden Silkworm City towards the city's north gate.

.........

Meanwhile, to the south of Golden Silkworm City.

Not long after the Consort of Time and the Golden Emperor left the city, they stopped in the suburbs.

Shi Zhifei still had a cigarette dangling from her mouth, constantly puffing out smoke.

When he was alone, the Golden Emperor finally took off his mask, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

"Queen of Time, isn't it about time that your Star Bell series came to an end?"

"Although some disagreements arose along the way, leading to the current situation between the Starry Sky Merchant Guild and Star Bell, their initial intentions were at least the same, right? There's no need to maliciously attack the Starry Sky Merchant Guild just to prove you're right..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhifei gave a disdainful sneer.

She slowly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke toward the Golden Emperor.

"Perhaps that's how you see it, but is it possible that, in our eyes, your Starry Sky Merchant Guild is a defective product whose original intentions have been forgotten and distorted? Do you know why Star Bell has always been unconventional and even too lazy to have proper negotiations with you?"

"That's because...you just can't remember them."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Emperor frowned deeply.

What do you mean by "can't remember"?

Whenever these Star Clock members encounter a question they can't answer, they start to act mysteriously.

This behavior is like suddenly falling seriously ill while in school, conspiring with your deskmate to start talking about their adventures in a parallel world before they were reborn.

The two of them acted mysteriously, speaking as if they knew exactly what they were talking about and were quite serious.

Finally, when their parents were called in, they behaved themselves.

"Star Bell has never been about arguing with you about right and wrong; it's simply about reaching that inevitable future. Until then, no matter how much money your Starry Night Merchant Guild makes, it's meaningless—it's nothing more than worthless paper money to be burned..."

After Shi Zhifei finished speaking, she left alone.

The Golden Emperor frowned and decided not to follow.

Clearly, their group planned to split up, with each member responsible for clearing half of the area.

The fact that the Golden Emperor didn't come along was exactly what Consort Shi wanted.

In this world, no one understands the Starry Sky Merchant Guild better than Star Clock.

Consort Shi harbored doubts, perhaps—

The Starry Sky Merchant Guild's mission this time is definitely not just about retrieving the hero's relics.

It's very likely they're covering up some other, bigger problem...

However, she didn't know the specifics.

She's not a mind reader for the Starry Sky Merchant Guild...

As night deepened, the moon and stars became fewer.

Weiss kept the minimap mode of the World Book open the entire way while traveling.

Then they stopped in a hilly area about 100 kilometers north of Jincan City.

Bo Mu, still with his head down and sword in hand, followed slowly a few steps behind him. In the eerie, quiet night, Weiss almost looked like a corpse driver.

It's already past 11:30 PM, and the first flash of astrological insights is about to begin.

Meanwhile, his teammate, Bo Mu, would only follow behind him, silently lost in thought.

Therefore, Weiss didn't expect her to be able to wreak havoc and have any effect.

Anyway, as long as I can reliably get a few drops of Tier 6 Dream Potion to recover some health, this trip will be worthwhile...

I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, only getting four hours of sleep a night for several days in a row. My mental state is a bit poor. I'll adjust today and then resume my daily 10,000-word update.

Chapter 115: The Great Decapitation!! [1.1 words]

The night was as dark as ink, and only a few minutes remained until midnight.

The wind farm in Weiss has already been activated.

A significant portion of the weight was wrapped around his legs.

As Miss Xing had previously explained, the daily splash screen broadcast would only last for a short ten minutes, but he would be responsible alone for the Black Realm Feathered Ones scattered throughout a quarter of the Night Patrol's territory.

Even Weiss himself wasn't entirely confident about achieving supersonic flight, given that supersonic flight wasn't yet feasible.

Although he can indeed kill the enemy in one shot by remotely launching greedy gold coins.

The problem is that this is the heart of the Night Patrol, not a desolate area like the Black Border.

The town density and population size in this area are unmatched by the North. No matter which angle he attacks from, he could easily be renamed "God of Slaughter" instead of "God of Wind".

Pure infamy will last forever...

As we all know, NPCs can refresh daily, but living people cannot.

Therefore, during the mission, Weiss could only use the simplest method of walking to do his best to locate the enemy.

Time ticked closer and closer to midnight.

Weiss held his breath, ready to pounce, with a gust of wind encircling each of his legs.

As for Bo Mu, she remained standing there with her sword in her arms and her head down, her braids swaying slightly in the night breeze. She was just a decorative figurehead, and no one expected her to be of any help. It was enough for her to just daydream.

"bite--!!"

In an instant, a notification sound rang out without warning.

A gigantic, illusory map unfolded in the center of Weiss's vision, with translucent pale blue lines of latitude and longitude stretching across the sky, and bright red dots of light gradually lighting up on this enormous map.

Weiss scanned the entire map at top speed, but his expression became slightly strange.

A quick glance reveals that there are at least seventy red dots scattered throughout their northern territory, densely packed among the mountains and wilderness, with a density far exceeding that of any other region.

The sparsest distribution of the Feathered Ones is in the western region, where the Undying and Rain Lord are in charge, with a total of less than forty points of light.

The numbers in the East and South are roughly equal, fluctuating around fifty or sixty each.

It seems that Weiss and Twilight have gained the lion's share...

The splash screen timer has started.

Weiss didn't hesitate any longer.

In an instant, his entire body transformed into a whirlwind, and all the surrounding scenery began to rush past. As he sprinted at full speed, the surrounding air continuously emitted ear-piercing sonic booms.

Even so, compared to the entire northern territory, it is still rather small and insignificant.

It took Weiss almost two minutes to reach the first point of light closest to him.

The marked Black Realm Feathered One was sleeping peacefully in the branches of a towering ancient tree. After being awakened by the commotion caused by the strong winds rushing over by Weiss, he immediately showed a look of lingering fear.

Weiss's expression was also one of disbelief.

He drew his conclusion with just a quick glance at the wind field.

This guy is a full-fledged Rank 8 Winged Warrior...

What a wasted trip.

Just as Weiss was feeling somewhat helpless, the Feathered One who met his gaze slowly raised his hand.

Judging from those crackling, extraordinary fluctuations, he's actually a lavish sorcerer.

But in the end, he didn't even finish the charging spell. The wind field surrounding Weiss only expanded automatically for a moment before covering the opponent's figure.

"BOOM!!!!"

It was accompanied by an extremely heavy thud.

The forest within a radius of several hundred meters centered on Weiss was flattened as if by an invisible giant hand, and all the trees, environment, and flesh and blood were crushed into dust at the same time.

It left a huge, smooth, mirror-like circular depression directly in the forest terrain.

After going through countless hardships to find and eliminate this worthless 8th-tier Feathered Warrior, Weiss didn't even have time to catch his breath before rushing off towards the next red dot with a pale face.

"You idiot, run!"

You should know that he never tried this hard when he was running the 1000 meters before.

however--

While Weiss was still on his way to the second Feathered One.

A chilling and extremely unsettling scene unfolded in the eastern part of the Night Patrol's territory.

The dozens of red dots marked in the east on that huge, illusory map are disappearing and becoming extinct at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this very moment, in the conference room of the Golden Silkworm City branch of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce, Miss Xing specially used extravagant magic to project an eight-square real-time image above the round table, with the dynamic perspectives of the four territories each occupying two squares.

"Swish, swish swish swish swish—"

The dynamic footage on the Little Sword Saint's side was in a state of frame drop and delay throughout.
