Chapter 621 - 586: The Divine Artifact Returns to Its Place in Japan
Flying returned to the Pool of Radiance again. After three trips, the 10 Magic Charging Crystals on the Flying were once again exhausted. No choice but to gather all the Flower Demons and giant slime monsters in the city to recharge.
At this point, Da Fei once again realized that the durability of Grade A "batteries" really could not meet their needs; once they left the Radiant City’s mana supply, everything ground to a halt. Fortunately, he had a substantial number of Flower Demons, Level 0 soldiers with mana, at his disposal. If it had been another race, what would he use to charge the crystals?
As for now, of course, it was time to properly settle these female slaves. This time, he had brought back 27 female slaves; 4 half-blood Dark Elves, 8 Elves, and 15 humans. All were top-notch beauties, but there were no Banshees. It seemed impossible for Banshees to become slaves along with these "inferior" Alien Races under the Demon’s control.
When the population advisor saw these female slaves, he couldn’t help but be shocked: "Lord City Lord, were these rescued from the Demon’s camp?"
Da Fei laughed out loud: "Correct, I plan to place them in the city as school teachers. What do you think?"
The population advisor shook his head then approached one of the Elf slaves to ask, "What’s your name? Where is your home?"
Da Fei clenched up, what the hell? Are you planning to send them back home? They are my treasures!
Yet, the female slave just blankly shook her head, "I don’t know..."
Da Fei was suddenly delighted, not knowing is best!
The population advisor asked the same question to a few other Elf slaves, and all of them shook their heads indicating they didn’t know.
The population advisor shook his head and sighed, "As I thought, being a slave of the Demons could sometimes lead to memory consumption. Slaves whose memories are consumed can only mechanically perform their existing skills, which means they cannot take on the role of teachers."
Da Fei’s jaw dropped in shock - damn it, after all the hard work to rescue these slaves, can’t they even be utilized by me?
At that moment, the population advisor continued: "However, it is also said that only slaves who are somewhat skilled and pose a certain threat are subjected by the Demons to memory consumption. These Elf ladies must have been extremely talented individuals. If my lord can find a way to retrain them, they could be excellent students."
Goodness! I need teachers, not students!
Da Fei, feeling a headache, asked: "Then, can their memories be restored?"
The population advisor shook his head: "Impossible. Among the 72 Pillars of Demon Gods, the descendant of Demon God Guxin, who ranks 11th, specializes in high-end slave management and trade. The Guxin Clan possesses the ability to devour memories and even emotions; once devoured, they are completely obliterated."
Just then, a half-blood Dark Elf slave spoke: "Master is right, these Elves and humans were once temple priests in the surface world. After being captured and turned into slaves, the Demons drained their magic power until depleted, degrading their value and reducing them to dancers, and eventually, they were about to become the food of the Demons, and that’s when we were rescued by our master."
Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed, wasn’t this the half-blood who recognized Elena? Da Fei hurriedly asked: "Do you still have your memories?"
The Dark Elf slave courteously said: "Master, my name is Ista, I am the daily manager of all these slaves, and for management purposes, I am the only person who still has her memories. If master can’t find a way to settle us for now, we can attract patrons at the tavern, as we are all professional dancers or higher."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, a dancer profession? The kind that could boost the tavern’s reviews? Damn, absolutely necessary! It’s a pity that the priests have fallen to such a plight, but rest assured, I will cherish you more than anyone else!
With a sigh, Da Fei then said to the population advisor: "Please register them and find accommodations for them. For those who have forgotten their names, help them choose some good ones, and please don’t use numerical codes!"
The population advisor coughed and said, "Understood. Before the completion of the tavern built specially for that distinguished guest, let them stay in the school dormitory for a while to regain their strength."
Da Fei nodded with satisfaction: "Good, let’s do that! Make sure their meals are wholesome! Alright, let them settle in first, they are all very weak."
"Understood!"
As the population advisor led the group of beauties away, Elena chuckled lightly: "This Ista is not simple."
Da Fei asked in surprise, "How is she not simple?"
Elena smiled: "My lord, seeing how she could recognize me instantly with my illusion disguise, there’s only one possibility - she is very familiar with my Hero Aura, which is not easily fully disguised."
Da Fei exclaimed: "Does this mean she used to hover around you?"
Elena smiled and shook her head: "Well, after all, being the eldest daughter of the Empress, many know me, such as Ogg and others. Anyway, now that we are in need of people and she’s fallen to this state, she is indeed worth cultivating."
Da Fei nodded: "Yes, yes, she needs to be cultivated!"
Now that another issue was resolved, Da Fei heaved a sigh of relief, and just then he suddenly realized he was quite hungry. Checking the time, it was already past 1:30 p.m.! Time seemed to fly and drag at the same time. Anyway, he might as well grab lunch while the Magic Crystals were charging.
At this moment, the National War in the Korea District suddenly erupted, astonishing gamers worldwide once again.
Everyone envied the Hell Race players for their convenient and rapid cross-region combat capabilities. The conditions for this National War were much more open than the previous China Region Pool of Radiance battle, so tens of thousands of players from various districts could participate.
When so many players from the Hell Race gathered in the Korea District, they no doubt posed a formidable challenge to the Elf Force, which was mainly attacked by the Korea National Team. All this was anticipated and even planned by the elite professional gamers of the Korea District!
At this time, Lee Min-ho’s personal studio, Korea’s top player, was hosting a secret online meeting with a dozen foreign friends. The participants were leaders of foreign small to medium-sized guilds and teams, who were not only Lee Min-ho’s best friends but also his fans. As the world’s top player, Lee Min-ho’s modest and polite demeanor certainly earned him extra points.
The Korean-led National War by Lee Min-ho wasn’t going to be minor skirmishes; he aimed to make a big move to fully conquer the Holy Demon Flame Prison. According to calculations by the Korean professional team, with the current power of the Korea District alone, it was very difficult to take over the Holy Demon Flame Prison, not to mention that mysterious high-level Hell players were fiercely promoting the National War.
The mysterious high-end players from the Hell’s Side were probably hostile forces. Lee Min-ho’s team simply decided to play along and further provoke the National War—because the Korea District also greatly needed Hell Race players from abroad as insiders! These friends meeting with Lee Min-ho were exactly the insiders he needed.
They would be rewarded by the export of Korea’s national treasures—the professional grandmasters as foreign aids!
For this operation, the "insiders" had purchased relatively high-level accounts from civilian players early on. The initial task for the insiders was to sabotage their allied players first and then the allied NPCs. Essentially, it was a grand international scheme.
Thus, at this moment, the TV conference was detailing the timing, locations, tasks, and especially teaching techniques on how to best sabotage. The Korea District was determined to win.
Meanwhile, Tycoon Mr. Ono Shinichiro had bought a Hell Race player account with high Merit Points online at a reasonable price that didn’t stand out. He couldn’t wait for the countdown to the National War to begin.
Yes, the Koreans had calculated everything, even the Japanese’s sabotage from behind, but what they never expected was that the Japanese had gone through all that trouble actually to welcome the Divine Artifact "Destiny Coin" back home!
At exactly 2:00 p.m. Beijing Time, the highly anticipated moment finally arrived!
——China Region World Announcement: Notice! The racial National War between the Hell Race camps of all districts VS the Korea District Elf Clan has officially begun! The Gate of Hell will soon open, and all registered Hell Race players will teleport with their troops and treasures to participate in the National War...
——System Prompt: The Gate of Hell is opening, loading scene, please wait...
The scene changed, and the world was awash with the red light of lava. In a plaza surrounded by many giant Demon God statues, Ono Shinichiro crossed regions! At the same time, countless white lights of teleportation flashed wildly, and numerous players appeared.
Ono Shinichiro’s first reaction was to run out of the plaza while it was still less crowded to avoid getting drowned in a sea of people. At the same time, he reported offline to Mitsubishi Headquarters: "I’ve arrived! Coordinates..."
Soon, a player with a Japanese flag icon came over to meet up.
——Trade! Confirm!
When the Destiny Coin was successfully traded into the possession of the Japan Team member, the entire Mitsubishi Studio burst into applause and cheers!
Igarashi was particularly ecstatic, clapping repeatedly: "It’s back! Our Destiny Coin is finally back! A day of Absolute Luck and thirty days of Absolute Misfortune, enough to give us the power to destroy the entire Bright Alliance! Gentlemen, well done! The future of the Great Japan District begins its dominance from now!"
"Long live the Great Japan District!"
"The Great Japan District will sweep the National War Zone; it’s only a matter of time!"
"Gentlemen, strive hard!"
"Hey Hey!"
Meanwhile, completely ignoring the dynamics of the National War and oblivious that his Divine Artifact was sold to the Japanese, Da Fei leisurely returned home after a full meal to log in.
Now that the Magic Charging Crystals were fully charged, Da Fei launched the first ship transporting nearly three thousand Demon Children as the final wrap-up.
