Pillar of Yita

Dianmo Ran Qingzhu then asked a question, ”How are we going to determine who our enemies are?”

”Everyone could be, and everyone could not be,” Fang Hong stated bluntly, ”so we need to avoid combat as much as possible. Of course, the Dark Creatures are the exception, but we shouldn’t waste our time on them since they are probably endless beneath us.”

”Do you understand?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Fang Hong then turned to KUN, ”Mr. KUN, I’ll leave the coordination and command of the teams to you.”

KUN nodded without saying much and vanished from the Holographic Projection. After a moment, the Silver Forest Crown’s All-Knower, a new ID, joined the command channel and cleared his throat lightly, ”All units, enter your respective squad channels.”

The communication channels were a buzz of activity.

Fang Hong took the opportunity to speak to Nether, ”Sister Nether.”

”I know, you little thing,” Nether deliberately lowered her voice, whispering in his ear, ”I’ll train you properly.”

”That’s not it,” Fang Hong blushed slightly, ”Sister Nether, aren’t you skilled at scouting while flying at high speeds with Clockwork Fairy? I can share the Fairy’s vision with you, and I hope you can take on some of the scouting responsibilities.”

Scouting while flying at high speeds with the Clockwork Fairy was not something he was capable of, and in the entire Super Competitive League, this talent of the Construct Queen was unique.

”Oh—?” Nether drew out her words playfully, ”Little guy, those military folks didn’t ask me to do that. You know my worth is quite high, right?”

Fang Hong was taken aback; he hadn’t thought about this issue. The worth of God Slayer’s Deputy Chairman was probably only known to the high-level executives of the Godslayer Club—and it was certainly an amount that would satisfy her and her agent.

Generally speaking, as long as a club is not in decline or being sold, top-tier Chosen Invokers rarely transfer; their worth is mostly an unspoken secret. However, he did know the transfer price of the last season’s New King, who was bought by one of the top ten guilds, Wings of Fantasy, for more than two million, setting a new historical record.

As for the price of this Construct Queen, it was probably an astronomical figure to him?

He was standing there daydreaming when Her Majesty the Queen, seeing that he was seriously contemplating the matter, couldn’t help but giggle, ”Silly boy, you’re not really thinking about buying me, are you? Or are you some hidden tycoon, set to inherit a fortune if being an Invoker doesn’t work out?”

She intentionally lowered her voice, ”What do you want to do with me after you buy me, keep you warm in bed? Actually, there’s no need. If you really do have a fortune to inherit, I might consider a May-December romance.”

Fang Hong then realized she was just kidding and scratched his head awkwardly.

He knew her flirtatious personality was just a facade; otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned the title of Her Majesty. Rumors in the community said she had an unrequited love for the Chairman of Silver Weslan; however, she never received a response from him.

Of course, not all community rumors are credible, but during her more than ten years as a professional Invoker, aside from Chenxi, she never got too close to anyone else.

Nevertheless, due to this rumor, the community arbitrarily gave Silver Weslan’s star Chairman the title of a male public enemy.

After all, the Construct Queen was once the dream girl of most male fans in the community.

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Nether laughed even more joyfully, shaking her head, ”I’m just kidding with you. But it’s possible; of course, I have my conditions. You must promise me one thing.”

Fang Hong was stunned. Conditions were not impossible, but joining God Slayer was absolutely not an option. He shook his head, ”Sister Nether, I won’t join any Grand Guild.”

”I know,” to Fang Hong’s surprise, Nether didn’t find his answer strange, ”You don’t even care for Silver Weslan, how would our small temple catch your eye? It’s not what you’re thinking, and I promise it won’t trouble you.”

”What is it, then?”

Nether thought for a moment, ”I haven’t decided yet, just wait while I consider it.”

Could it be like that? Fang Hong was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously he was not opposed to the suggestion. First, he believed she wouldn’t make him too uncomfortable, as Her Majesty always kept her word, and secondly, he wanted to repay her guidance and teachings.

He nodded lightly.

Seeing his nod, Nether was satisfied and let her form disappear from the Holographic Projection.

The last to leave was Silver Weslan’s Little Princess, Sophie. She didn’t say much and only whispered a reminder, ”Be careful, take care of yourself, and my people. Don’t try to be a hero.”

Fang Hong could hear the sincerity in the Little Princess’s tone, knowing she was not overthinking, and felt a warmness in his heart. He nodded back to her.

Sophie also nodded, then left the state of Holographic Projection—since the military and the Grand Guilds were now involved in this mission, there was no meaning for her to stay in the channel. After handing over command, she chose to leave.

Following Fang Hong’s suggestion, the entire Silver Weslan team split into four groups. One was led by the leading Knight, one by Xi, one by Dianmo Ran Qingzhu, and the last by a Priest, each heading into the ruins separately.
