Chapter 2033: Scheme against each other
How did you figure out that Blazer was involved?

Of course he's the King of Asgard. You've already given him the deeds to eight unfinished lord cities as a prize; how could he not know about it?

Guild leader Zero's expression remained unchanged, his smile conveying composure, seemingly unconcerned about whether Blaze was involved or not, merely engaging in casual conversation.

Unfortunately, faced with the forger's magnifying glass-like observational skills, Guild Master Zero's subtle facial expressions and physical changes were completely exposed.

"Don't worry, it was Marika who approved this."

But you didn't say that Blazer wasn't involved in this.

Guild leader Zero's eye twitched. The forger was actually playing the trick of saying "every word is true, but when put together, they are false" right in front of him.

When he was doing this, forgers probably hadn't even been born yet.

"Do you think Blazer wouldn't personally come to thank the person who provided such important intelligence?"

"This..." Guild Master Zero hesitated for a moment, and it seemed that it was indeed because Blaze was so enthusiastic that it caused a lot of trouble.

Other wild boars only root around for food when they are hungry, but Blazes simply like to root around. They root around when they are looking for food, when they feel that the road is too hard and inconvenient for other small animals to walk on, and when they want to greet a groundhog.

Of course, if a monster that threatens the forest appears, it will charge forward with ferocious ferocity.

It would be strange if Blazer changed his ways someday, and then it would become a big problem from another angle.

"What you said makes a lot of sense. So who is the other NPC you're hosting?" Guild Master Zero probed again.

"Blaze."

"Isn't this participating in it!?"

"I just borrowed the name." The forger placed his hand on his chest, determined to tell the truth.

“You know how useful the name Blaze is; it brings a lot of advantages even in orc territory. Otherwise, how do you think I managed to hold an event in orc territory?”

"This..." Guild Master Zero wavered once again.

Blaze's name is indeed very useful, and since Blaze has a close relationship with Somador, he certainly wouldn't mind lending his name to Somador for convenience.

Furthermore, since they all treat the lord's city deeds as special rewards for the event, there's no reason not to lend out the name.

"Then how can you prove that Blazer won't be eager to come and help? He's got plenty of energy."

"That's because he has more trouble now."

"Something even more troublesome!?"

"At Greenland's instigation, he proposed to the Olympic Games committee that the competition must include bikinis, and now he's scrambling to decide who to send the bikinis to first."

"..."

Well done, Greenland! They actually managed to trip up Blaise with this teen romantic comedy formula. If they can pull off anything else, then he...

No, no, I can't make a promise like that.

Guild leader Zero crossed his arms, bowed his head, his shoulders shaking as he suppressed his laughter.

"It seems you have no more doubts. Can we talk about cooperation now?" "Cooperation? Cooperation is so boring. Just treat us as ordinary participants in the event." Guild Master Zero was in a great mood and once again played the role of a philanthropist.

Of course, this generous act of kindness was not discussed with other guild members, but [Rust Gospel] continued the dictatorial system from [Azazel], where whoever has the biggest fist gets to do what they say.

In order to one day become a dictator, the guild members have basically never protested.

"You should already have a general understanding of the situation, right?"

The forger placed a map on the table, which, when unfolded, revealed a map filled with various savage orc strongholds.

"This prediction was based on the Feng Shui profession. Since the barbarian orcs also have the Feng Shui profession, it's a two-way prediction, so the accuracy is very high."

"Hmm, seven high-difficulty areas, and other normal-difficulty areas as well." Guild Master Zero crossed his arms and leaned forward to examine the map.

Compared to the activity center's map, which unlocks gradually based on activity points, this one is clearly more complete.

"Oh, the final battle is actually at the Goblet of Fire of the Great Beast God, what a coincidence."

"Finally, we may need to push over the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire, or extinguish all the flames inside."

"It all sounds difficult to do. The Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire is a landmark building in the orc territory. It is difficult to destroy and would have a bad influence. As for extinguishing the flames inside, it would be even more difficult."

Guild leader Zero, now fully engaged, began his analysis with seriousness, while also sharing some information he knew.

"Those guys from the Fairy Kingdom tried to extinguish the embers in the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire, but they couldn't. It was a very special kind of flame. It seemed to exist, and you could feel its intense heat, but you couldn't touch it. It probably requires a special process or tool to completely remove it."

"Regarding how to eliminate the embers of the Great Beast God, we have already come up with a solution, which is to use the power of the earth itself. You should already know something about this." The forger shared information about dragon veins and feng shui patterns, but he withheld some details about the dragon vein totem.

Firstly, the Dragon Vein Totem is a core component of the Great Beast God Set, which may be unique. Exposing it to [Rust's Gospel] is not a good thing.

It's worth noting that the first known world-class set – the Great Beast God set – has long been the subject of intense competition, and the [Rust Gospel] set is one of the contenders.

There are only four sets in total. Of the 16 pieces in the Great Beast God set, 5 pieces are in the hands of [Rust Gospel], and there is also a complete set.

If [Rust's Gospel] finds out about the Dragon Vein Totem, while they might not turn against us before the matter is resolved, they'll definitely try to steal it openly afterward, which would be too troublesome.

Secondly, the Dragon Vein Totem was intended by Blaze to give to Greenland. If the Rust Gospel knew about the Dragon Vein Totem, it would definitely investigate and run into Blaze, who was active around the Dragon Vein.

Putting aside the others, it seems like Guild Leader Zero will make a quick getaway. It would be a real shame to let such a high-level combatant escape.

Let him play the bad guy here and take advantage of [Rust Gospel]. Before that, we need to avoid Guild Master Zero and Blaze meeting as much as possible.

"In short, we will provide you with as much material as possible that you are interested in as payment, so that you won't work for free."

"But at the same time, we hope you can tone it down a bit and follow the order of our strategy, and do enough foreplay."

While the counterfeiter and guild leader Zero Fake Smile were scheming against each other, Ice233 lost interest and left the reception room. The spacious environment made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Before she could even relax for a moment, someone walked towards her in the sunlight.

"Yo, Honey Orange Ice and Snow 233."
