Chapter 997: Chapter 826: The Mermaid’s Astrology Prediction?

After arriving at Black Iron City, Sariel immediately asked, "Lord of the Divine Throne, what are we doing here in Black Iron City?"

The Mermaid laughed and said, "I already said, we’re here to have fun! Let’s visit the Night Rose Tavern from last time, and the teahouse we drank at before. We could also stop by to see the Astrology Old Lady."

Sariel asked in surprise, "How long do you plan to have fun, Lord of the Divine Throne?"

The Mermaid laughed and said, "I’m not sure. A few days?"

This is quite a critical time with the Emperor watching!

Sariel hurriedly said, "A few days? Wouldn’t Silver City become vulnerable?"

The Mermaid scoffed, "Old Whale is there. Besides, hasn’t Black Iron City also been neglected for ages?"

Sheila chuckled and said, "Coming to Black Iron is good, at least there’s no Bishop Sherlock who’s ready to explode anytime, plus my Evil God Gang, and the graduate Vivian I’ve trained, along with Sister Mary whom I have a good relationship with. Perhaps it’s safer here?"

Sariel urged, "Then you better hurry back!"

Sheila said irritably, "We’ll also have to wait for the Giant Monster to clear the city of all creatures. It’s essentially robbing me of all my Crystal Cores and Privilege Points, and it needs to give them back."

Michael said, "Sheila, stabilize the progress; Sariel, just do as the Mermaid instructed."

Raphael was anxious, "What about me? Sariel promised to help me!"

Sariel sighed, "Anyway, that big fatty is just making things difficult for you; you can’t possibly find the president, and I probably wouldn’t find him either. I should prioritize settling my darling. You should prepare for the possibility of failure."

Raphael exclaimed, "Motherfak!"

Gabriel recalled, "Sariel, you should ask your darling, why did she come to save you? Even if she’s a Guardian God, she shouldn’t have such miraculous perception of news, right?"

Michael said solemnly, "Indeed, I felt like something wasn’t right. Sariel being trapped was a secret plan of the Emperor, and at the NPC level, news shouldn’t be disseminated so quickly."

Only then did Sariel come to his senses and immediately asked, "Lord of the Divine Throne, how did you know I was trapped in the sewer?"

The Mermaid immediately put away her smile and turned her head, extremely serious, "When the announcement of you killing the bat appeared, I felt inexplicably uneasy; why is that?"

The Lords were in an uproar, "Feeling uneasy?"

Sheila was even more incredulous, "Could it be the power of love?"

Gabriel’s jaw dropped, "Could a new artificial intelligence be born?"

Michael furrowed his brow, "How is that possible!"

Fortunately, Sariel remained clear-headed and answered, "Could it be due to the prediction from Astrology?"

After all, a few days ago, the Astrology Old Lady and Empire Astrologer Hubble were invited to play cards at the aquarium with her; this was the only relevant clue.

The Mermaid laughed and said, "So, I should also go see the Black Iron Lady."

The Lords suddenly understood, "So that’s what it is!?"

Sariel was rather excited, "This is a prediction performed by divine astrology; the power is too strong!"

Raphael seemed to ignite hope, "Let her predict where the president is?"

Sariel said irritably, "Don’t get ahead of yourself!"

...

As the Mermaid’s flood broke through space, Moore the squirrel hiding in the crevices only got drenched, which was considered a successful pass.

In any case, the Ten Lords also left, and Moore immediately returned to the place where Mithril was hidden, took out the Mithril, and restarted Space Shrinking, finally reaching the Divine Tomb.

At this point, Moore was utterly exhausted, and had to thank the Slime God for the generous rewards provided earlier, allowing Attributes to sustain until now, with Mana enabling an Energy Shield to resist the Death Qi in the Divine Tomb.

The Evil God said, "Little one, you’ve come again."

Moore directly addressed the matter, "My lord, I’m here to inform you that the perimeter of this Divine Tomb is filled with land mines. If one day you want to leave, it will cause a big explosion. If needed, I am small in size and can help defuse the bombs."

The Evil God replied, "I know, dismantling the bombs is not needed for now, but thank you for coming specifically to tell me."

Moore handed over the Mithril package again, "Additionally, I brought the Mithril you needed, my lord, to make a mirror."

The Evil God was amazed, "It was you who completed my task! Thank you so much, I must reward you—"

Suddenly, the Evil God paused, "There is something strange about you, is it Divine Power?"

Moore thought of the reason, "The Guardian God Mermaid from Silver City visited earlier and used Divine Power to flood the sewer. I was also doused by the flood she invoked."

The Evil God nodded, "I also heard the Guardian Gods arguing outside. Come over here; I want to study this Mermaid’s Divine Power."

Moore was surprised, "I just got a small amount of Divine Power water; is it enough for research?"

The Evil God replied, "It’s enough. I was once a Mage very proficient in the Water Series, but never had the chance to witness what truly top-level Water Series skills are like. I just need a little inspiration. However, it will take up some of your time."

Moore felt his heart skip a beat, realizing she openly disclosed her identity information to him; this meant mission favorability increase, and this interception was truly necessary.

"No problem, I’m honored."

The next moment, an Energy Shield enveloped the entire squirrel, and a 1% research progress bar appeared.

Moore let out a sigh of relief, "Brother Tao, Sister Zhou, I feel like I’ve pulled off a monumental event. If it weren’t for my itchy hands, we wouldn’t have attracted the bats, the Ten Lords wouldn’t have come, and the argument between the Mermaid and the Guardian God wouldn’t have occurred. This is the level of a top player stirring up storms, right?"

Brother Tao said irritably, "Stop spouting nonsense, hurry back to the arena; don’t wait until the point competition ends and you can’t participate."

Moore sighed helplessly, "My physical body is about to turn into a zombie; my soul isn’t here; I can’t compete."

Zhou Qing said, "Now Sariel and the Mermaid have gone to Black Iron City; can’t understand, should you report to Brother Chun?"

Brother Tao said, "Report, Moore, send the recording to Beauty Zhou."

"Okay, right away..."

...

Chun, with already gained experience, made rapid progress in learning foreign languages.

Just then, the phone rang. It was another video from Zhou Qing, "Brother Chun, are you busy? Moore’s latest progress, and the Mermaid and the Ten Lords went to Black Iron City."

Learning is essentially on autopilot, not busy. Chun worried about the Mermaid’s situation and immediately opened the video; although it was Moore’s perspective in the dark, the magnificent conversation of the Guardian God enveloping the entire city was heard, and sure enough, the report indicated the situation wasn’t good.

Then Moore was seen, just a touch of Divine Water was enough to provide the Evil God with inspiration.

Chun was also surprised; this was a significant discovery! I only knew she was Tifa’s mother, but now I know she was a top-level Mage in the Water Series; with this clue, her identity before might be found out! Should I ask President Zhou for help?

Chun thought for a while and decided it wasn’t necessary; high-level players will search for themselves. Speaking up might even highlight a key point for them, shifting their focus.

Chun replied, "Moore did well; keep an eye on subsequent developments in Black Iron City."

After all, the relationship with the Mermaid is top-secret, even my people shouldn’t know, better to downplay it."

Zhou Qing replied, "Have to pay attention, Brother Chun. Continue being busy. By the way, Brother Chun ate early in the afternoon, want to have a late-night snack?"

Late-night snack? Somehow, the time feels... really slow?

Chun immersed in the atmosphere said, "Sure, but no alcohol."

Zhou Qing laughed, "Okay, it’s planned."
