Actually, Emery knew everything when Viktor used the scroll last night.

Fatty Vie is not capable of controlling the Bone Fighter and fighting the Black Knight. His role is probably similar to the ward in a competitive game, used to provide Emeralt with long-range vision... The one who truly controls the Bone Fighter and the Black Knight is Emeralt in the dream.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did someone cause trouble in Locke City last night?"

Julia, who was standing nearby, was very worried after hearing about the incident in Locke City. As soon as Amelie hung up the call, she immediately came over to ask.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Emerald first patted Julia's head, then played with her golden ponytail, and said in a very casual tone:

"They're just a bunch of clowns from out-of-town gangs. They tried to cause trouble in Locke City while you, the hero, were away, but Fatty Wei has already repelled them with the backup plan I left behind."

"...Are they those out-of-town gangs again?"

Yulia was already used to Amelie playing with her hair, so she didn't react at all to Amelie pulling her golden ponytail. In fact, she subconsciously moved her head closer.

"They just won't stop... The security in Locke City has finally improved, we can't let those guys ruin it!"

"Will not."

Emery chuckled confidently:

“With Julia here, those guys won’t amount to anything… However, the nighttime security in Locke City really needs to be strengthened. After all, Locke City is different now than before, and relying solely on Fatty Vie’s gang and the police station is becoming increasingly inadequate.”

"It's okay, I'm here for you!"

Yulia quickly clenched her fist:

"From now on, I will increase nighttime patrols and absolutely protect our Locke City!"

"It's certainly a good thing that you're so motivated, Julia, but my plan to strengthen nighttime security in Locke City remains unchanged..."

Emery took Julia's fist in her hand and looked at her softly, saying:

"After all, Yulia, it's too hard for you to work during the day and patrol at night. I feel sorry for you."

"Well……!"

Julia blushed immediately and quickly lay face down on the table, not daring to look Emery in the eye.

Emery didn't mind and continued to tease Julia with a smile.

She wasn't just talking; the attack by the Morley gang made Emery realize that relying solely on the power of the fat man was indeed insufficient, and providing them with more military equipment wouldn't be enough.

The White River Gang lacks a master-level mage as its trump card; having only Badis is simply too few.

So where should we recruit a group of reliable master-level mages?

Hire a Class M security team from your home security company?

M-level squads are indeed reliable, with guaranteed capabilities and loyalty, but having to pay commissions for using her own people makes Emery very unhappy... Once her entrepreneurial trial is over, she can easily hire a group of people from Melson Security Company to build a security department at Blue Star Film and Television.

Let's save this plan for last as a backup.

Then... should we let Judy retire some officers ahead of schedule?

That's not good either.

Awakening-stage mages might not mind retiring early to join a gang, but Master-level mages are very concerned about their future and generally wouldn't do that. Furthermore, Master-level mages are also valuable assets to Judy's unit. If Emery asked for one, Judy would definitely give it to her, but Judy would most likely be unhappy about it… There's no need to ruin their relationship over something like that.

that……

Emery looked at Viriana with this thought in mind.

Perhaps we could try to capture a few more elves like Anna? Anna is currently nominally an extremist terrorist among elves, on the run... and there are definitely many similar extremist elves in the elven kingdom. If we could lure them here and set a trap for them...

Hmm, maybe I could build an elf guard for fun?

A new plan gradually took shape in Emerald's mind.

. . . . .

After having breakfast and resting for a while, around 8:30 in the morning, Yak announced that they would begin their march toward the Red Dragon's Nest.

According to prior reconnaissance, it would take at least 5 hours to walk from this exploration station to the Red Dragon's lair. If other monsters or bad weather were encountered along the way, this time would be extended by another 1 to 3 hours.

If everyone used a flying magic device, the time could be greatly shortened. However, the dragon hunt at the Lohid Magic Academy is a trial, and traversing the snowfield on foot is also part of the trial. Therefore, teachers and students cannot use flying magic devices to travel.

Of course, invited guests like Emerald are not restricted; they just need to stay with the group and not fly too high and cause unnecessary trouble.

So after the teachers and students set off on foot, the guests also used various means of transportation to keep up with the group.

Stellar displayed the demeanor of a financial queen. She took a gold coin from her pocket, placed it on her thumb, and flicked it into the air. The coin immediately grew larger and then floated steadily in the air like a magic carpet.

Starling herself leaped up, stepping on the edge of the gold coins like she was on a skateboard. She first turned back and blew a kiss to Amelie, then caught up with the group of teachers and students from the Lohid Magic Academy, slowly flying at a height of about 5 meters.

The other person in the same carriage as Emerald, Rei, then made her move.

She took the jade ruyi from under the hem of her cheongsam again, and gently blew on it.

"May all my wishes come true, please grant my wish and quickly transform into a flying machine!"

The small jade ruyi instantly grew larger until it was almost the size of a motorcycle before stopping. Then, Lian lightly jumped up and sat diagonally on the handlebars of the jade ruyi, just like a girl sitting on the back of a bicycle.

"Then I'll take my leave first, Miss~~"

Lian also waved to Emery before flying to join the group.

Of the people in the same carriage, only Emerald hadn't moved yet, and the other guests had all taken out various flying magical devices and were slowly flying behind the hunting party.

The most eye-catching of them all was Brutus Vance, the son of Hausman Vance. He brought a small airship, though it was not as big as the Emerald, only about 6 meters long, about the size of a small motorhome.

"How are we going to fly, Emerald?"

Seeing that everyone else had flown away, Yulia suddenly felt excited for some reason:

"Emerite, did you bring your airship? You didn't, did you? Then do you want me to carry you and fly behind them? Hehe... You probably don't have a flight magic device, right?... What, you actually have one?"

With a pout and a hint of disappointment in Yulia's eyes, Emery chuckled and took out the magical chair, gracefully sitting down and taking off.

It's certainly a good thing that Yulia is willing to hug her, but at this moment, showing some restraint and choosing to refuse would make Yulia even more eager... Otherwise, if it's too easy to get what you want, some things just won't be fun anymore.

"……snort."

After pouting for a while, Yulia stomped her feet and flew up, landing behind Emerald's magical chair and pushing it like a wheelchair.

Viliana is most skilled in wind magic, and flying is second nature to her. Marcy's battle maid outfit also grants her the ability to fly, while Pancake is born with the ability to fly, so there's no need to worry about either of them.

Even Lulu skillfully used a levitation spell to take off, but instead of continuing to fly with magic, she flew over to Emerald and sat directly on Emerald's lap, clearly intending to act cute towards her sister.

Emery didn't pay any attention and casually hugged Lulu and petted her.

Unexpectedly, Yulia suddenly struck up a conversation with Lulu at this moment, with a mischievous smile:

"Lulu...would you like to try something more exciting?"

"Wow, wow!"

Lulu, being a mischievous little devil, agreed without even asking about the details when she heard there was something exciting to do.

Amelie immediately had a bad feeling, but it was too late.

Suddenly, Yulia, who was pushing the chair like a wheelchair, accelerated, pushing Emerald, chair, and Lulu in her arms together, flying at high speed and instantly overtaking the hunting party.

"Let's go ahead and scout ahead to find our way!"

To justify her wild behavior, Yulia shouted this as she passed by Ark.

When faced with someone who didn't follow the agreed-upon instructions, Ark initially wanted to say something, but after discovering that it was Emery and her group, he simply sighed silently.

...Well, it's normal for the young lady to be a little willful.

Thinking of this, Ark glanced curiously at the back of the group of teachers and students. There, a nervous-looking man was being flanked by two bodyguards and walking alongside them. He was the only one among all the invited guests who hadn't flown—it was Amelie's fiancé, Connor Holm.

...What a foolish and pathetic guy. He could have lived a comfortable life as a small-time tycoon based on his research, but he insisted on marrying into the Melson family. As a result, he ended up with such a nasty and willful young lady as his fiancée. He deserves to be bullied.

On the other side, Julia pushed Emerald's chair far away in one go, making Lulu shout excitedly.

Julia glanced at Emery's skirt, slightly disappointed.

"Huh? I'm flying so fast, Amelie, how come you didn't pee your pants?"

Chapter 163 Warm-up

Why would I be so scared I peed my pants?!

Snapped!

Emery was immediately enraged and slapped him across the face.

She really wanted to slap Yulia, but Yulia was behind her chair, so the slap landed on Lulu's bottom instead.

The little pink-haired girl immediately looked at her pitifully, but Emery glared back and raised her hand again to slap her.

"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? You're partly to blame too! If you hadn't been blindly following along, how could that idiot Yulia have suddenly acted recklessly?"

"...Hey, hehe."

Yulia stopped pushing the chair and flying at high speed. Instead, she chuckled and scratched her head, a strange look of regret on her face.

"As expected... everything in the picture book is fake, Emerald, you won't actually wet yourself because of that..."

!

Emerald's forehead instantly creased with annoyance. It took a lot of willpower for her to resist immediately activating the invisible ribbon to bind Yulia in the air and punish her severely. Instead, she manipulated the chair to turn around and gave Yulia's cheek a hard pinch:

"Are you really an idiot? You actually believe those kinds of ridiculous picture books? You're not allowed to look at those anymore... If you dare to peek, you won't get any food!"

"Just watch...just watch..."

Yulia muttered under her breath, still feeling a bit resentful, and made a face at Emery's back as she turned around.

Some forms of entertainment are common human interests, regardless of the world.

Before Emery took action, this world had no entertainment such as movies, TV series, and games, but the novel and picture book industry was still very developed, especially those strange novels and picture books with color, which had always been very popular... From the young masters and ladies of wealthy families to the silly children of poor families, everyone liked to secretly buy a few and hide them to read.

In the Allen Federation, the sex industry is legal, and erotic novels and picture books are certainly not illegal either. However, copyright and portrait rights laws must still be followed, so these novels and picture books are divided into two categories.

One type is officially published works. Even if they contain color, the stories in those novels and picture books are purely fictional and do not involve portrait rights or copyrights.

Another type was sold secretly under bridges and in alleys. These novels and picture books not only had heavy colors, but the protagonists were often real-life celebrities, especially the sons and daughters of wealthy families, who were popular subjects for these works.

Before the movie became a hit, Julia's fame was basically limited to the area around Locke City, which was controlled by Emerald. Everyone knew that Julia was her possession, so no one dared to use Julia as the protagonist in any creative works.

However, with the release of "Yulia 2" and the popularity of cinemas in Champs-Élysées, erotic novels and picture books featuring Yulia as the main character still appeared.

Furthermore, since Amelie also appears in "Yulia 2" and has great chemistry with Yulia, most of the novels and picture books feature battles between Amelie and Yulia.

Of course, most of these works involving real-life celebrities, especially members of conglomerates, are pure love stories... After all, those creators just want to make some money, not that they're tired of living... In the past, quite a few people have committed suicide or disappeared because of their works about the downfall and defeat of conglomerate heiresses.

These colorful novels and picture books featuring Julia and Emerald as the main characters eventually reached Locke City, and even the two main characters themselves knew about them.

Teenagers, after all, all like these kinds of things. Besides, Yulia had read a lot of these when she was in school, so she didn't feel awkward at all watching her own work as the protagonist.

In a picture book that Yulia recently read, there was a scene where she carried Amelie in a princess carry and flew through the air at supersonic speed. As a result, the delicate young lady was so frightened that she peed herself after a scream and trembling, getting Yulia's hands all wet.

In short, the painting itself was quite strange, but Yulia, who often dreamt of being possessed by monsters during her pleasure dreams, wasn't exactly a normal person... Anyway, she felt a strong connection to this storyline and had secretly fantasized about actually trying it out.

When Yulia saw Emery ascend into the air in the magical chair, all she could think about was how Emery was so scared by the high-speed flight that she wet herself. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation and just went for it... but unfortunately, she still failed.

After giving Julia and Lulu a stern lecture, Amelie urged Julia to quickly push herself back to the hunting party.

Julia was disappointed that she didn't get to see Emily wet herself in fear, but she wasn't going to try it herself. She didn't want to really anger Emily, so she obediently prepared to do it.

"……Wait a mininute."

However, just as Julia turned around, pushing Emerald's chair around, and was about to fly away, Emerald called out to her again:

"Raise it slowly, and try not to make any noise."

As she spoke, Amelie also used an ancient spell.

Julia recognized this ancient magic spell; she and Ameliete had learned it together from Viliana. It was a disguise spell that could achieve optical invisibility and aura concealment. Unfortunately, Julia hadn't learned it even after several days of study, while Ameliete had mastered it smoothly.

Yulia may not be quick-witted in other matters, but she is quite responsive when it comes to things related to combat.

She immediately guessed what was going on, and moved very quietly, almost silently, raising Amelie's chair to a higher place.

"That's it..."

After ascending to about 6000 meters, Emery signaled Julia to stop, and at the same time took out a monocular telescope and placed it under her right eye to look down.

"There is indeed a problem."

After observing carefully for a moment, Emerald reached out and pointed out the direction to Julia:
