Chapter 787: Chapter 32: Reunion with an Old Friend

"Dealing with the Mobile Cavalry," indeed, was a considerably important task at the moment. For this Space City, this squad of Mobile Cavalry was like throwing a stone into calm waters, startling all the fish.

Under such circumstances, it had become inconvenient for Jeanne to achieve her original objective.

Jeanne’s tracking and anti-tracking techniques had been learned in the training camps of the Mobile Cavalry. Even with Xiang Shan providing enhancements, the "base color" formed from her own experiences couldn’t be erased. When she tried to track and approach her target, the Mobile Cavalry might sense him.

"Also, you must not expose your own objectives. I need to emphasize this again, do not let the government notice our target this time," Xiang Shan warned Jeanne once more.

Jeanne nodded in agreement.

After completely annihilating or driving away this batch of Mobile Cavalry, and before the next batch arrived, she had to take control of the target and then take it away.

Tumor Xiang Shan was inclined to establish cooperation with the chamber of commerce for this reason.

Jeanne had to find a way to neutralize this group of Mobile Cavalry.

There was no possibility of a deal between the Hermo Association and the Mobile Cavalry. And this merchant squad included at least three experts—Asgard, that drone controller, and finally, the unseen sniper.

All these could be of help.

Jeanne then thought, "But I feel that the Hermo Association isn’t that reliable either."

Tumor Xiang Shan said, "Let’s hear it."

"When we were scouting in the early stage, we didn’t see any members of this team, which shows that they haven’t lingered in this city for too long..."

"You mean, they have a definite target and headed directly to their destination as soon as they disembarked," observed Jeanne.

"Yes," Jeanne nodded in agreement, "And I also asked just now; this merchant squad also arrived in Ur not long ago. This Mobile Cavalry unit was probably trained on the Moon. It takes some time to travel from the Moon here. Surely someone in the Asteroid Belt is providing them with intelligence."

Tumor Xiang Shan affirmed, "Indeed, that’s a possibility. Of course, they can first reach a fixed route in the Asteroid Belt and then receive intelligence, deciding their course based on that—the Hermo Association’s merchant routes would only span a few Neutral City-States."

"But they must have spies, able to provide advance notice of their movements."

"I agree with you. But at this stage, it doesn’t concern us much. The headquarters of the Hermo Association are in Chaldea, and that spy is not within this merchant team. As for bugs in their headquarters, that’s their own problem," Xiang Shan remarked.

Jeanne sighed.

A few minutes later, she spoke again, "Just thinking about not being able to attack them before those bastards establish a safe house makes me feel quite defeated."

"Don’t. They have more people. They can establish a temporary base at the same time as they fight. Besides, we also don’t know exactly how many days they have been here," Tumor Xiang Shan noted, "At least wait until you have refurbished yourself completely."

At that moment, Jeanne was standing in front of a 3D printer. She had provided the necessary data to the chamber of commerce, borrowing their printer to produce essential parts.

In a low-gravity environment, machines like these performed better. Magnetic fields expertly controlled the nozzle spraying the raw materials, forming various shapes within a transparent canister filled with rare gases. Lasers heated the materials instantaneously, while mechanical waves interfered with the lattice during formation. A contour similar to a palm was taking shape.

These were the parts Jeanne needed.

Jeanne was waiting for the component to take shape.

Jeanne exclaimed, "I feel so uncomfortable right now."

At that moment, Asgard stood in front of another transparent container, waiting for the parts she needed to be printed. However, Asgard wasn’t looking at her own parts but was glaring at Jeanne with hatred in her eyes.

She even "deliberately refrained from taking an aggressive stance".

"Tsk, tsk, too green. My girl, when you have a handful of old friends always ready to passionately duel with you, then you’ll be nearing my level. This is nothing."

Jeanne inwardly hurled a string of curses at Xiang Shan.

At that time, Asgard spoke up, "It was you who was the problem, who got us purged, wasn’t it, Jeanne?"

Jeanne shook her head, "I’ve said it before, I never betrayed anyone before those bastards betrayed me."

"You’re still making excuses!" Asgard was very angry, "Since a while ago, you’ve just been standing there, sighing from time to time, nodding occasionally, and showing clear emotional shifts—your personality dissociation must be quite severe!"

—If only it were just personality dissociation...

"Yes, at least personality dissociation doesn’t come with a brain tumor. If two personalities could coexist peacefully, it would be like having no illness at all."

"Shut up!"

"Look at that. I can feel it, you just had another emotional fluctuation..." Asgard said, "This does resemble how you were back then."

Jeanne patted her head, "I don’t think that’s something worth being attacked over..."

"Simply watching the Martial Ancestor’s memories shouldn’t cause severe issues," Asgard exclaimed. "I’ve seen them too! I didn’t go mad. Only special medication used on the brain causes madness!"

It was said that before Jeanne and Asgard’s batch, several people in the Martial God Special Operations Unit training camp had tried using Restoring Enzyme before accessing Martial Ancestor’s memories, hoping to intensify their own affect.

"They embraced my philosophy, yet realized it contradicted their life experiences entirely. This torment was painful for them. After reflecting, they decided to embrace my philosophy—reading Martial Ancestor’s memories once or twice after using the Restoring Enzyme probably wouldn’t turn them into the Martial God, would it?" Tumor Xiang Shan couldn’t help but sigh, "They just wanted to change themselves."

"I sure have gone mad, but am I the only one?" Jeanne stared at Asgard, "After you left the training camp, did you take a good look at this world? This world..."

"Alright, you two." At that moment, the room’s door opened. The Martial Artist known as "Jin" walked in, "You two, this room doesn’t have very good soundproofing. If you keep arguing, everyone here will find out you’ve only read ’that memory’ of the greats."

Jin sat in the corner of the room, eyeing the part about to take shape in front of Jeanne, "If I’ve interrupted your trip down memory lane, then I’m sorry. But your noise can hardly be called friendly—I’ll just wait here, is that okay?"

Jin seemed to also need to supplement some unconventional parts.

Asgard said bitterly, "I’m not going to lay a hand on her here."

"You better not." Jin then looked at Jeanne, "So, madam, you would be... a reservist for the Martial God?"

Jeanne sighed, "If you say so."
