Their commission was suspicious.

"Lady Bronya, you don't understand, do you? Well, I don't understand either. How would I know if it's an ancient relic? But isn't it enough that it's usable?"

"..."

“If you are still worried, Lady Bronya, you can send the Silvermane Iron Guards to intercept and pursue us according to the deployment map, but my scouting point is definitely the best solution!” Chen Luo said with great certainty.

“No need. You’re right about one thing. Beloberg is the home of the Silvermane Iron Guards, and they’re very familiar with this place. Based on the escape route, this is indeed one of the most likely locations,” Bronya said.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Bronya accepted the heavy responsibility of becoming the successor to the High Warden from a young age, and thus underwent a rigorous education, while also patrolling the Beloborg.

As a Grand Guardian, one must be more familiar with Beloborg's defenses than anyone else.

"But how did you find this place using this crystal ball? There's nothing on it." Bronya asked as she directed the Silvermane Iron Guards to hide on the high walls on both sides of the passage.

Chen Luo's guidance accelerated the Silver Mane Iron Guards' ability to pinpoint the escape route of March 7 and his group, allowing them to deploy significantly more personnel and thus tighten the blockade even further.

"Sir, can't you see the image displayed above?"

“I can’t see it.” Bronya shook her head.

"Then you simply don't have the talent for it."

That's good, you can't see it.

There are absolutely no images on this crystal ball.

However, it can't be said that this crystal ball is useless. It's a three-star item and can actually be used for divination. It's just that Chen Luo has a user-friendly feature, so he only uses it as decoration.

What crystal ball could predict more accurately than a user-friendly plugin? After all, a user-friendly plugin is something that will never fail unless something unexpected happens from outside the world!

If possible, could you please remove the prefix next time you describe me?

“No, this is called being realistic!” Chen Luo said.

"What else does this show?...Does this ancient relic have any other use?" The fact that Chen Luo, an ordinary citizen, could pinpoint the suspect's escape route faster than the Silver Mane Iron Guards itself suggests something.

This at least proves that Chen Luo has some talent.

Whether this is an ancient relic is indeed debatable.

But Bronya had indeed heard of it when she read archaeology books before: that there were other forces besides technological power.

Long ago, Beloberg was a picturesque land of immense power, until these monsters descended. It is generally acknowledged that Beloberg's current level is far inferior to that of its ancient counterpart thousands of years ago, in areas including, but not limited to, education, medical technology, and so on.

Therefore, it's quite normal to find some amazing ancient artifacts.

"It has other functions as well. The purpose of this ancient relic crystal ball is divination. It seems that only a few people can use this ancient relic, and I happen to be one of them. So, Lady Bronya, would you like to divine whether the capture operation will go smoothly in a while?"

“No need,” Bronya said coldly.

Bronya has now laid an inescapable trap, and no matter how resourceful the three fugitives are, they will not be able to escape the encirclement formed by the Silvermane Iron Guards.

“But the crystal ball indicates… your operation to apprehend them this time may not go smoothly, and could even backfire,” Chen Luo said, frowning.

“I don’t believe that a mere crystal ball can predict the entire future,” Bronya said firmly.

"Good, very energetic."

Chen Luo enjoys seeing people who refuse to listen to advice fail.

“It seems that Lady Bronya is the type who believes in human willpower. So, are you interested, Sister Pera?” Chen Luo approached Pera with the crystal ball in his hand.

"Some adults should refrain from calling me 'Sister Pera' like children. Also, since we are currently in the process of making an arrest, please do not joke around with your crystal ball."

"You don't want to do divination either? That's such a shame." Chen Luo sighed and then moved to the side.

It's a real pity, because Chen Luo's daily task required him to have his fortune told by someone else once, regardless of whether the result was accurate or not, as long as the fortune was told.

What I did just now was lead the way, not perform divination, so it doesn't count as completing the task.

However, Chen Luo's current actions can be considered as sabotaging his teammates, so he completed the daily task with two progress levels.

In other words, Chen Luo only needs to complete three more progress stages.

Unfortunately, the daily quest to "complete a commission" didn't appear today.

What happened to the promise that this daily task would appear frequently?

Never mind.

Anyway, the tasks in this daily mission are not difficult to complete, or rather, they are quite simple. If you are diligent, you can complete them in 10 minutes.

The best way to mess with your teammates is definitely not to mess with March 7th and the others, but it's just so fun.

If completing the daily tasks is the main goal, then Chen Luo could have easily completed three progress points by simply telling Xiao Jiu's fortune at the bar and then tricking her, which would have taken less than a minute.

But there should be some fun in prison... no, some enjoyment.

Moreover, Chen Luo remembered that his teacher... the puppeteer had taught him that after reaching the level of mastery, it would be very difficult for a puppeteer to make further technical progress. Instead, they would focus more on putting their understanding of the art of puppetry into practice.

Then he gave Chen Luo a method—to become the mastermind behind the scenes.

Without relying on his own ability to control and manipulate puppets, he wrote a puppet show that satisfied him as much as possible, and Chen Luo himself should only act as a guide in this puppet show.

If a puppeteer can only control puppets with his own abilities, then he can only be an ordinary puppeteer. The real way out is to extend the control of puppets to control fate, cause and effect, and even the whole world.

At least that's what the puppeteers did back then, and the puppeteers' stage wasn't limited to a city (Belloberg) within a small world (Star Iron) within a large world (Imaginary Tree) like Chen Luo's, but rather the entire real world.

Because the teacher... the puppeteer spoke these words with such conviction and certainty, Chen Luo decided to give it a try.

But compared to the puppeteer's ambition to control the world, Chen Luo actually wanted to have some fun and maybe even make some commissions along the way—which is why the puppeteer taught Chen Luo this method.

If we're talking about ways to enhance a puppeteer's experience of the profession, others might not know many, but as someone who's been there, I have a lot of methods, and this one is the most suitable for Chen Luo.

"I spent three months in that consciousness space, and it seems like I was calling her 'sister' and 'teacher' the whole time. I can't seem to shake it off now." Chen Luo rubbed his forehead.

She calls me "sister" when chatting and "teacher" when giving a lesson.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Pera asked.

"It's nothing, just divination, which takes a bit of mental energy," Chen Luo said casually.

"Want some candy?" Chen Luo asked Pella after unwrapping a candy and stuffing the candy into Mebius's mouth.

“No need. But this is…” Pera looked at Mebius, who was sitting on a floating board, biting Chen Luo’s finger and refusing to let go, because of Chen Luo’s action.

The mechanical floating platform that Mebius was sitting on was a masterpiece of Velvi, and since technology still prevails in this world, the machine would not malfunction due to unfamiliarity with the environment.

"Guess?" Chen Luo said after pulling his finger out of Mebius's mouth.

“Your sister?” Pera guessed.

"No, we look completely different, even our hair color is different," Chen Luo shook his head.

"Could it be... your daughter?"

"..."

“Okay, I just said it offhand, sorry,” Pera quickly said.

"This is my girlfriend, so what are you thinking, Pera?"

"Girlfriend! How old is she?!" Pera's eyes widened instantly.

The little girl next to you looks to be only about twelve or thirteen years old. How could you do that?

Pera glanced at Chen Luo, who seemed to be an adult, and then at the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. She made up her mind to interrogate Chen Luo properly after they caught the criminals and returned.

"So what? We truly love each other! Isn't true love supposed to transcend age?"

“Then the Silvermane Iron Guards can also cross regions to capture you.” Pera coldly pushed up his glasses.

"Oh, I see... Then let's break up, Mebius. There's too much of an age gap between us. I'm only 17, and you're already... *cough cough*." Chen Luo clutched his stomach, where Mebius had punched him.

“I’d like to.” Möbius retracted his fist.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean?" Pera realized that she might have misunderstood something.

“Little girl, I’m already an adult,” Mebius said coldly.

"Oh, sorry." Pera almost dropped her glasses in her panic.

So... Chen Luo was the underage one?

Chapter 1534 A resounding success in persuading Cocolia: Chen Luo's path to becoming a favorite!

After an unknown amount of time, March 7th, Danheng, and Xing ran quickly from a newly opened iron gate towards the entrance to the rift across the alley.

"Watch out!" The cold-faced little green dragon, with its most acute senses, seemed to have noticed something and stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, several bullets struck the feet of the three people on the train.

"They really did catch up, and they even set up an ambush." ​​March 7th sighed as he looked at the fully equipped Silvermane Iron Guards that appeared on the high walls on both sides.

Why are those who are pioneers of justice constantly wanted by the police?

"Hmph, you've been underestimated." Bronya's voice rang out behind the three of them.

There was actually a side path on the side of this road, and Bronya and her men were lying in ambush there, waiting to catch them like fish in a jar.

“Even though this place has been eroded by the Hunter's Realm, it is still part of Beloborg, our former home. The Iron Guard knows this place inside and out. The escape game is over. Lay down your weapons and come back with me…”

Bronya was speaking seriously, but the train trio's gaze was not on her at all. Instead, they looked past her and at Chen Luo, who was standing behind Bronya holding a crystal ball.

Bronya also noticed that the three of them were looking at her strangely, so she followed their gaze and saw Chen Luo sneaking around behind Mebius.

"Chen Luo, what are you doing here?" March 7 was greatly shocked.

"Sorry, I want to be a good person. Lady Bronya, quickly seize these three outsiders who are trying to overthrow the Beloborg regime!" Chen Luo shouted from behind Mebius.

"Do you know those three?" Pera, standing next to Chen Luo, couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, we met briefly yesterday at the Goethe Hotel and had a very pleasant chat," Chen Luo said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

Pera lowered her guard because the three people on the train were not fugitives before today, and it was not impossible for them to communicate.

"Chen Luo, what are you saying?" March 7th asked.

"Don't pretend we're so close. We've only known each other for two days, including yesterday. Lady Bronya, they're trying to sow discord between us. Seize them!" Chen Luo shouted as he hid behind Mebius.

"Chen Luo, stop playing around. It seems we're in trouble now," March 7th sighed.

"Stop talking nonsense! I am loyal to Belloberg!" Chen Luo said, his eyes wide.

"I'll explain the situation between you all later. I'll take you all, along with Chen Luo over there, to see the High Guardian." Bronya was a little confused about the current situation, but she made the best decision.

"The High Guardian summoned me yesterday and said you deceived her. Your identities and purposes were all fabricated, and you intended to undermine the Builders' control over Beloborg," Bronya announced the Train Trio's crimes.

"Ah, how can this old witch be so two-faced!" March 7 was shocked by Cocolia's speed of changing her tune.

"Publicly insulting the High Warden will only make your crimes worse. Lay down your weapons and surrender!" Bronya glared angrily.

"Further words are unnecessary. In March, at least one thing is clear: we absolutely cannot be arrested now," Dan Heng said calmly.

"Since there's no way to escape, let's show them what the train crew is capable of!" March 7th said, hands on hips.

As it turns out, everyone who gets to board the Star Train is quite capable and possesses exceptional skills!

Ordinary Silvermane Iron Guards were no match for her, and after catching one of the Silvermane Iron Guards who had been knocked away, Bronya stepped forward herself and raised her gun.

"I'll handle these... evil scoundrels and villains myself!"

While they were fighting fiercely, Chen Luo was "flirting" with Mebius.

Although Chen Luo does look somewhat like a good citizen now, due to Bronya's orders, several Silvermane Iron Guards were assigned to subtly surround Chen Luo and Mebius.

"Do you need me to take care of a few of them?" Jormebius glanced at the Silvermane Iron Guards who were approaching.

"No need, just watch the show." Chen Luo glanced at the people fighting, then at the trash can next to him.

【Sambo】

A name appeared on that trash can.

God knows why Sangbo ran to hide in the trash can before Chen Luo did?

As long as it doesn't affect the viewing experience, that's fine.

Meanwhile, Bronya fought against three opponents single-handedly and held her own.

"This kid is a bit too powerful. Hey, Danheng, hurry up and unleash your hidden strength!" March 7 said, slightly out of breath.

“…You go first.” Dan Heng remained silent for a moment.

"Tch, boring." March 7th shrugged.
