Chapter 1387 - Chapter 1387 Chapter 948 Youre Not Here to Accuse Are You
Chapter 1387: Chapter 948: You’re Not Here to Accuse, Are You? Chapter 1387: Chapter 948: You’re Not Here to Accuse, Are You? Thousands of kilometers away, an airship hovered in the void. A mage stood in front of a window, intently observing through a stargazing mirror until, at this moment, he suddenly shouted:
“Movement, movement! They’ve moved the Bridgehead Fort so quickly; they must be from the Divine Light Association. Quick, inform Lord Ji Fa.”
One follower went to relay the message, another, curious, asked, “So fast? The Teleportation Array there has been shut down for six hours. It’s only starting to move now; doesn’t that mean they aren’t very familiar with it? Isn’t it just about piling up Chaos Stones?”
The mage responded, “What do you know? Do you think we haven’t activated the Energy Tower before? If it was that easy, why would we offer it for trade; we would have used it ourselves long ago–it’s a moving plane. We tried it as well but couldn’t understand how to operate it. A slight move, and the whole plane starts to tilt forward as if an invisible Abyss in the void is pulling it in; it scared us to death.”
Negris probably didn’t anticipate that what it thought was simple, the Friel Empire hadn’t mastered at all; they hadn’t even heard of Spatial Slip.
Negris, a pseudo God of Knowledge, doesn’t create new knowledge, but it can clearly remember anything said by others. Managing the Energy Tower, having played with the World Transit Station, House of the Deceased, and Starburst Array, was a piece of cake for it.
Admittedly, given enough time and a large supply of Chaos Stones for the people of the Friel Empire to slowly research, they could figure out how to use it, but currently, there just weren’t enough Chaos Stones.
Ange, using the Grasp of Divine Light, first activated the Chaos Stone, then channeled it into the Energy Tower, which was clearly the most efficient method. If going by inscriptions and stacking up Chaos Stones, it would probably take ten thousand stones to activate once.
Instead of keeping a moving plane that won’t be used any time soon, it’s better to use it as leverage in a trade to first resolve the production of Chaos Stones.
Using a moving plane as a display of power, they soon received a message. Silver Coin pulled out a scroll, unfolded it to reveal a message: “Please link to this Teleportation Array, coordinates XXXXX.”
Once the plane moved, the Teleportation Array could not be linked, because the coordinates had changed. The local array needed first to connect to the fixed coordinates of the opposing array for teleportation to occur.
Negris, puzzled, inquired, “A Blood Origin Scroll? Such an ancient communication method? They must be very far from here, trusting us so much? Aren’t they afraid we might move the plane away?”
Silver Coin said, “How could that be? There must be airships guarding outside the void. If we don’t respond, and try to move the plane away, then the airships will land. Using the Blood Origin Scroll is deliberate; they want to tell us they are far away to reassure us, like taking off coats before negotiations. Don’t you believe that once I respond, they will send a bunch of people over?”
“Uh, then couldn’t they just capture us anytime?” Negris queried.
Silver Coin nodded, “Indeed, they could, but what would be the point?”
As Silver Coin spoke, he took out several Teleportation Scrolls, handing one to each person. When it came to Negris, noticing it had no hands, he just tied it to its chest, telling it to bite it open when needed.
“We are currently just subordinates of the Duke of Divine Light, here for a trade. Even if they captured all of us, it would only offend the Duke of Divine Light and create an enemy, what’s the point?”
“Moreover, it’s not certain they can catch us. If they send airships for an air drop, I’ll immediately destroy the Energy Tower and teleport away using a scroll. Nagi has already arranged a secret reception location.”
“My willingness to agree to this place as the trade location, is because it’s too far from the Master Plane. They can’t encircle the entire void, and aside from acquiring a batch of Chaos Trees, they get nothing else. The plane’s mobility would be destroyed, making an enemy of the Duke of Divine Light, plus a billion anonymous Magic Crystal Coupons.”
On the topic of Magic Crystal Coupons, Negris suddenly remembered, “What about the Magic Crystal Coupons?”
“They are being brought soon. Next steps – I connect to the Teleportation Array, they teleport over, bring the Magic Crystal Coupons, I check them, tell them the farm’s location, they send someone to verify, then complete the trade, and either withdraw or start a fight,” Silver Coin explained.
Negris, overwhelmed, lamented, “So troublesome, it used to be easier, no need for such meticulous caution, watching out for this and that.”
Nagri had not been this cautious for years, thanks to Ange’s protection in the past, it only needed to speak, since no one could defeat them anyway.
It’s unexpected that now, just to trade something, there’s such a complex process and steps, truly troublesome.
However, although it was a bit troublesome, the process went very smoothly. After the silver coin connected to the coordinates given by the other party, a team of Wizards teleported over, carrying twelve boxes full of various unregistered Magic Crystal Coupons.
There were those issued by the Mercenary Guild, the Business Federation, the Goblin Guild, the Magician’s Guild, and even a stack from the Divine Light Association.
Upon counting, there were indeed one billion in full.
After receiving the Magic Crystal Coupons, the silver coin disclosed the location of the Chaos Stone Farm to the other party, then awaited their verification. The Wrench and the two Witch Demons at the farm had already been relocated, and now there were no people at the Chaos Stone Farm.
The silver coin and a team of Wizards stared at each other for several hours, and finally, the Friel Empire confirmed that the Chaos Stone Farm was intact, notified the Wizards here, and everyone sighed in relief, shook hands amicably, and then they teleported away. It went so smoothly that the contingency plan Ange had prepared was not even used.
Ange had scattered a lot of spores nearby, and these Wizards stepped on them as soon as they stepped out of the Teleportation Array–should they cause trouble, let mushrooms grow on their feet!
Of course, the strongest trump cards were still the Monarch and Ange, they hid far away, monitoring the surroundings. The Ghost Tourers had already flown into the Void, ensuring no airships were approaching.
But it went very smoothly, the Friel Empire genuinely wanted the trade, their plane drifted far away, and no airships from their side appeared, the Ghost Tourers left in their original location found nothing as well.
After drifting for a few days, it was deemed safe, as they had reached the edge of the Boundless Space Hole. Moving forward there was nothing but the Void. Following the edge of the Boundless Space Hole for a year and several months would take them to the territory of the Divine Light Association.
The Divine Light Association had expended resources to establish a Bridgehead Fort, but ultimately had to retreat due to the distance. Next time they come, the team size of the Divine Light Association would definitely be larger.
But that was all for the future, Ange decided not to proceed further and just stop here, at the edge of the Boundless Space Hole, the nearest place for Little Ghost to come by, perfect to intercept it ahead of time, preventing it from accidentally running into someone else’s encirclement.
Before the arrival of Little Ghost, of course, it was time to plant things. Right after the trade was completed, Ange couldn’t wait to begin farming.
“There’s no sunlight here, what can you possibly plant that would survive?” the Monarch, having just filled the Energy Tower with Power of Chaos, came back to see Ange digging and couldn’t help asking.
Ange took out the Deadman’s Fruit to show, explaining that the Tree of the Dead can grow inside tombs and does not need sunlight.
However, another plant was grafted onto the top of this Deadman’s Fruit Tree.
“Eh, Chaos Tree Bud, you’ve successfully grafted it?” Nagri asked in surprise.
Ange nodded, the Tree of the Dead doesn’t require sunlight and can be planted in many places. If Chaos Stone can be harvested from the Chaos Tree, then deep underground, Ange could also grow a large amount of Chaos Stone.
“It really was a successful graft, amazing. So after this, the Chaos Tree doesn’t need sunlight anymore? Can it be planted anywhere?” Nagri excitedly said.
While Nagri was wandering around the Deadman’s Chaos Tree, the silver coin walked in, speaking with a somewhat strange expression: “Lord, Nagi’s great-grandmother wants to meet you. She insists on personally thanking you for leading her clan into the storm.”
No wonder the silver coin looked so odd. Listen to this, does it sound like thanks? Could it be that they want to come and blame us?
