The Game of Global Mining

Chun suddenly realized a problem, I’m the spy she sent to infiltrate Lost Paradise! And she’s just openly meeting with a spy on the street... rendezvous?

But since she’s already waved, it means she has a plan.

Chun quickly jumped down and approached her, yes, it’s her!

"Ma’am?"

She smiled and said, "The president can just call me Ms. Maria. My position is the Chief of Logistics and Medical Services, and I’m personally responsible for arranging rest for the president and the group of heroic merit."

Sounds like a big shot! But is this also just an act?

Chun looked around, took out the long-unused modified Azazel Badge Teleportation Necklace. Originally, it was designed to teleport once a week, but it seems I only used it once. Speaking of which, it was that time, helping the Earth Flame Leader deliver a diplomatic gift to her, she gave me a Divine Artifact Book of the Treasure Identification Technique, then arranged for Cloud Cliff Villa, and set Mary up as my wife...

Chun tested, "Ma’am, can I use this?"

She also looked around and then gave a slight smile, "Yes, now is evening, after arranging for the heroes to rest, you can directly use it to teleport to my room!"

Holy shit! Fake, it must be fake! A real angel wouldn’t be this easy with me!

But okay, it’s indeed not suitable to speak openly here, definitely need to have a private talk with her to understand the situation from a thousand years ago.

Chun pointed up to the sky: "And how about arranging for her and the child?"

Maria praised, "They are indeed extraordinary Void creatures, amazing! I will arrange for them to be in Dragon Peak Garden. There, food and hot springs are available, and originally it was the private garden of the Master of the Black Dragon Divine Throne, but for the war, it’s also opened for the merit troops to use."

After saying that, she waved her hand and immediately two blood-red-winged Angels flew up and called out, "Honored guests, please!"

Chun also waved to the queen, "Go ahead, you’ve all worked hard, have a good rest."

"Yes, master."

Then Chun noticed that the backs of those two angels’ wings were black, "What’s that?"

Maria replied, "Fallen Blood Angels, currently with the Demon Race faction."

Oh. Could it be, Maria is also of this race?

While talking, the landing ship had already docked, the members of the commerce association disembarked, half excited, half exhausted.

Maria once again greeted them, "Honored heroes of the association, you have worked hard, please follow me to the Holy Dragon Sanatorium to rest and recover, where the best services in town are set up."

Pava Landing said, "Ma’am, but I’m not a heroic merit."

Maria smiled, "Isn’t it just that your achievements are unknown? The arrangement is the same."

Pava Landing said, "I have no achievements either."

Chun was stunned, why is this guy so stubborn? But it’s a good thing, being stubborn means stepping down, making it convenient for the Mermaids.

Maria had no choice but to say, "This is an order, all members of the association are treated equally, please comply."

"Yes, ma’am."

Holy shit... it feels effective!

Chun suddenly recalled something, "Ma’am, this is a thousand years ago, there wasn’t a commerce association yet at this time?"

Maria laughed, "And now there is."

Chun shivered, "Does it mean, once we go back, there will be a commerce association with a thousand-year history?"

Maria smiled and said, "So, heroes, have a good rest and get ready for the upcoming merit battle."

Holy shit holy shit! I thought the bankrupt Black Flag Order over level 100 was impressive, didn’t expect a thousand-year commerce association! Speaking of which, could the Mad Bull Gang in Ox Head City have this kind of foundation too?

At this moment, as the procession moved forward, the streets were lined with orderly crowds shouting loudly. These citizens came from various races, including Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Minotaurs, goblins, and many who seemed human.

Especially when Duodolin appeared, the goblins filled the streets with shouting.

Maria explained, "In Black Dragon City, the hierarchy is very strict. Under normal circumstances, only the most outstanding servant race can live in the city. Now it’s open because of the war, allowing many of the otherwise less outstanding races residence, but whether they can stay long-term depends on their performance in this battle."

It seems the Dark Elves are doing well, judging by Hua’s perspective, there aren’t any goblins or Minotaurs on the streets.

Just then, Nan pointed at someone in the crowd, "I think I know him!"

Hmm?

Maria was also interested, "That Lizardman?"

Nan said, "Yes, he taught me a Dragon Language class, I didn’t expect to see him from a thousand years ago."

Maria was surprised, "A Lizardman who can live over a thousand years is indeed excellent!"

Bast also realized, "Ah, that’s the Prophet Izak! I didn’t recognize him when he was young!"

"Prophet?"

Maria was even more intrigued and gestured to the Lizardman.

The Lizardman pointed to himself in disbelief.

Maria smiled, "Yes, you!"

The Lizardman was flattered, bowing, "Ma’am!"

Maria smiled and asked, "Tell us about yourself and your achievements, anyone who can enter this city is special."

The Lizardman was excited, "My name is Izak, I am a Combat Priest, 300 years old, having undergone 108 operational level battles, and countless smaller skirmishes, eventually selected to come here."

Maria was dumbfounded, "What’s your position?"

The Lizardman spoke in a low voice, "Just a lone soldier."

Maria was shocked, "Surviving so many battles, and still just a soldier?"

The Lizardman was conflicted, "It’s just because, I could always accurately sense the threat of death..."

Bast laughed, "Then, you became the Prophet!"

The Lizardman was bewildered, "Me? A Prophet?"

Maria smiled, "Then he’s truly a genius, how about it, Mr. President, should we let him join the team?"

Holy shit, he must be an asset to stay alive! Why add to the team, bring him into the association, true heroes meet when lost, but when pride exceeds later with Nan, it won’t fit— also, no! If he’s added to the association, would Uriel thousands of years later notice an extra name on the association’s list?

Forget it, listen to the higher-ups, the team is just a team, no need to complicate things.

Chun then said to the Lizardman, "Mr. Izak, please—"

The Lizardman was thrilled, "I’m willing! President, just call me by my name."

Maria smiled, "Come, let’s all go to the sanatorium to rest."

Finally, the group arrived at a fortress with gleaming walls and radiant gemstones —this style, Chun had experienced in Black Dragon Fortress. Back then, shortly before the training journey, Aimee, Olka, Medesia pounded into teaching me skills...

At this moment, Aimee indeed was tempted, "President, you must be very tired, let me accompany you to rest!"

Holy shit, you call that rest!?

Chun was anxious, "No, everyone sleeps, eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink..."

Kidding, I still have to have a chat with Maria in private.
