Chapter 194 The Elf Girls Stepping into the Trap

Having finished her trip to the Federal Noble Girls' Academy, Amelie had almost completed all the tasks she needed to do in Sphingard and it was time for her to return to Locke City.

In fact, Amelie could have continued living at home after her entrepreneurial trial was over, but she still felt more comfortable in Locke City. Although the conditions there were slightly worse than at home, it was entirely hers, her private territory where she could do whatever she wanted.

After finalizing her return plans, Emerald did not set off immediately. Instead, she went to the Melson Entertainment Center in the Melson Tower to visit her eldest nephew, Clark.

Emerald saw the difficulties Sulina faced before the festival performance as yet another provocation from the Arts Association.

Helping Sulina complete her performance was, for Emerald, only self-defense; the next step, of course, was to retaliate.

Considering that the Arts Association did not use force when it provoked this time, it would not be appropriate to retaliate with force as it did with the Goddess.

Amelie's idea was to give them a taste of their own medicine. If the Art Association wanted to humiliate Sulina by making things difficult for her, then she would find an opportunity to humiliate the Art Association in return.

This requires the help of Melson Entertainment, as Melson Entertainment currently has many collaborative projects with the Arts Association and is quite familiar with the Arts Association's various situations.

"Does the Arts Association have any large-scale public events planned recently?"

In the president's office at Melson Entertainment, Emery sat in her executive chair, twirling a pen between three fingers as she asked her eldest nephew, who was standing in front of her desk, a question.

As Emery's deputy and the person actually in charge of the company's daily operations, the nephew was quite knowledgeable about this important information. He didn't even look at the documents; after thinking for just a few seconds, he gave a confident answer:

"Next month... to be precise, 22 days from now, the Art Association is holding a large-scale art exhibition at the [Moon Raven] Exhibition Hall. In terms of scale, this art exhibition should be the most grand one the Art Association has held in at least 5 years. They probably want to prove to the world that they have emerged from the shadow of the Goddess incident. Not only will they be exhibiting many of their latest outstanding artworks, but they also plan to display several rare and precious works of art. Currently, many celebrities in Sphingard have received invitations, and many others have expressed their anticipation and interest in this exhibition."

"A large-scale art exhibition..."

Emery narrowed her eyes slightly:

"Do we have any collaboration with this project?"

"Yes, Miss."

The eldest nephew nodded:

"The Moon Raven exhibition hall is our venue, and the security for this art exhibition is handled entirely by Melson Security."

"I see... Then it seems that directly destroying the art exhibition itself is not an option. We can't let our own people suffer losses as well."

Emery frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked...

"Does our company have any events planned for the near future? Could you please bring me the detailed schedule?"

"it is good."

My nephew is very efficient. Less than five minutes after he left the office, he came back in with a stack of documents.

"It's all here, Miss."

Emery picked up the documents and flipped through them. Soon, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to one of the entertainment options:

"A sword-forging competition? If I remember correctly, this event is entirely our own?"

"Correct."

The eldest nephew expressed his approval:

"Because the main purpose of this competition is to attract skilled craftsmen from the public through prize money and reputation, and to select talents for the Melson Magic Workshop, it is natural not to let outsiders interfere."

"Great, that's the one!"

Emery snapped her fingers and made her decision:

"Change the date of the next sword-forging competition to the same time as the art association's art exhibition, and then send invitations to all the celebrities in Sphingard to come and watch the sword-forging competition in person!"

"This……"

The eldest nephew frowned:

"Young Miss, you want to invite all the Sphinx celebrities who originally planned to attend the art exhibition to the sword-forging competition, so that the art exhibition will be empty of celebrities, and you can use this to slap the Art Association in the face and retaliate, right? But if I may be so bold, the success rate of doing so is probably not high... because the sword-forging competition is a niche entertainment program, and most celebrities prefer to appreciate art!"

"I know."

Emerald, however, remained confident:

"If it's just a regular sword-forging competition, it certainly can't compare to the art association's art exhibition. But what if I let Yulia participate as a special guest, and I also went to watch it live? How do you think those social elites would choose?"

"Ah this..."

The eldest nephew stared in disbelief, while wiping the sweat that had already broken out on his bald head.

He finally understood that Emerald's move was not only to retaliate against the Art Association, but also to force the celebrities of Sphinx to take sides.

So how will celebrities who receive two invitations choose?

The eldest nephew thought for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"I think most people would probably distance themselves and declare neutrality; they would likely avoid both places and find an excuse to stay home on that day."

"That's enough. It doesn't matter whether those people come to watch the sword-forging competition or not, as long as they don't go to the art exhibition."

Emery chuckled softly, then narrowed her eyes slightly:

"However... it's rare for me to personally bring Yulia to an entertainment event, and it would be embarrassing if too few celebrities showed up... How about this, nephew, when you send out invitations to celebrities, you can subtly remind them that I'm a young and impetuous young lady with a bad temper and a petty mind. I might not remember who comes, but I will definitely remember who doesn't come."

"..."

The eldest nephew touched his bald head speechlessly, but still nodded and said:

"Understood, Miss."

. . . . .

After arranging the counterattack against the Arts Association, Emerald made some general plans for the development of Melson Entertainment before returning to Locke City with her people, still aboard the Emerald private airship piloted by Julia.

"I have not failed you, Master."

In the president's office of Blue Star Films, Viliana, who had not returned to Sphinx this time, knelt at Amelie's feet and reported the progress of the mission to her.

"I knew Anna could do it!"

Emery smiled with satisfaction, then took off one shoe and rubbed her black-stockinged foot against Viliana's face as a reward.

"Oh, oh, oh... This is Master's flavor! As expected, only this flavor is..."

Viliana immediately got into the zone, changing her posture from kneeling to lying down, and with a dazed look on her face, she hugged Amelie's leg and started rubbing against it, even wanting to practice water magic.

"You wait!"

Emerald, however, withdrew her foot at that moment:

"Let's talk about the mission first, Anna."

"...Okay, goo."

Viliana swallowed hard, pulling her lingering gaze away from Amelie's feet, her infatuated eyes gradually clearing:

"Six have taken the bait in total. They are all juniors from my training camp. Four of them are already formal magicians, and the remaining two have reached the breakthrough stage. Master, you only need to invest a little to gain six more elven magicians... Of course, their strength is definitely not as good as mine, but they can still complete some simple tasks without any problem."

"Six? Hmm... that should be enough."

Amelie nodded slightly, then asked:

"So where are they now?"

"It'll be here soon, it should arrive in the next couple of days."

Viliana answered breathlessly:

"The last time they contacted me, they had already seized a magic submarine transporting elven slaves from the White River Shipping Company as I instructed. It should be crossing the Emerald Strait right now... They will definitely contact me again when they land, and I have already prepared a trap to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Anna, are you going to take them all down by yourself?"

Emery raised an eyebrow:

"Are you sure you can handle it? Even if each of them is not as strong as you, there are still four of them who are already formal mages and have received the same training as you... Do you really not need my help?"

"No need for you to trouble yourself, Master."

Viriana appeared very confident:

"They are indeed my outstanding juniors. If they were to fight me in a magical duel, I would definitely be no match for the six of them working together... But they are all as foolish as I was in the past, so it would be quite easy to deal with them."

"...Alright, since you're so confident, Anna, I'll leave this entirely to you. I'll just wait to enjoy the spoils you've prepared."

Amelie glanced at Viliana a few more times, made a quick mental calculation, and then patted the black stockings beneath her skirt.

“If you do this well, I can give you a reward, Anna… I’ll allow you to sit here and serve me once.”

"Yes! Master!"

Viliana's eyes almost burned with excitement.

. . . . .

Emerald Strait.

A small magical submarine, about 14 meters long, is sailing in the water at a speed of about 25 kilometers per hour. It has been sailing for almost two days and will soon be able to land on the land of the human kingdom.

Inside the submarine's broken-down cabin, six elven girls dressed in robes sat in a circle, all meditating.

They need to get their bodies in top condition so that they can follow their idols and work together to achieve great things after landing.

Viliana's previous becoming an extremist of elven supremacy was not innate, but mainly due to the education she received in the Elven Royal Guard training camp.

After all, the Elven Royal Guard is the elite force on the elven race's last line of defense, so it's normal for its members to receive this kind of ideological education. Similar things are not uncommon in human kingdoms or on Earth, the planet Ameliete lived in before.

The six girls inside the magic submarine also received this kind of education from a young age, and they all had a good relationship with Viliana during the training camp. In their hearts, Viliana was the most reliable and outstanding senior.

News of Viliana's near-flooding of Locke City and her assassination attempt on Amelie quickly reached the Elven Kingdom.

On the surface, the Elven Kingdom condemned Viliana's actions, calling her a sinner who had damaged relations between the two races, and issued a warrant for her arrest, just like the Federation.

In fact, extremists within the Elven Kingdom all say that Viliana did a good job, and the only regret is that she didn't succeed.

The Elven Royal Guard's training camp used Viliana as a positive role model, promoting her extensively to the trainees still in the camp, which made these younger members who already admired Viliana admire her even more.

Very few people know that Virianna has become Amelie's personal bodyguard; to outsiders, Virianna is still a wanted fugitive.

So when Emerald said she needed a few capable people to do the dirty work, Viliana offered to trick a few outstanding juniors from the training camp into coming over.

Ameliette, who shared the same idea, readily agreed and gave Viliana plenty of resources to do as she pleased. As a result, Viliana did not return to Sphinx with her a few days ago.

Thanks to the White River Shipping, which had already started a slave trade with the elven nobles, the six girls in the Royal Guard training camp soon received a message from Viliana.

In her letter, Viliana stated that for the past two years, besides being on the run in the human kingdoms, she had been looking for another opportunity to pull off a heist. Now the opportunity had arrived, but she needed help; this major undertaking was difficult for her to handle alone.

The six elven girls, who had long admired Viliana, agreed without a second thought or even asking what the important matter was, to infiltrate the Federation and lend Viliana a hand.

So Viliana continued to secretly send them messages, guiding them on how to sneak out of the Royal Guard's training camp, how to seize the magical submarine from White River Shipping, and finally how to reunite with her in the human kingdom.

The elf girls all did as instructed.

Although they encountered some difficulties when sneaking out of the training camp, Baihe Shipping made the elf girls' actions very smooth because it was all part of the performance. As a result, the elf girls admired and trusted Viliana even more.

Now, they were about to meet their revered seniors and do something great together. The elven girls were all very excited, as if they could already see the scene of the elven race regaining its ancient glory and turning all humans into slaves.

boom!

Unexpectedly, an explosion suddenly occurred next to the submarine, and the violent shaking startled all the elven girls from their meditation.

"what happens?"

The elven girls were initially flustered, but having grown up in the Royal Guard training camp, they possessed high military skills and quickly regained their composure.

The elven girls on the submarine don't know how to use the magical artifacts, but any elven mage is a versatile expert proficient in thousands of spells, and the reserve members of the royal guard will only be more outstanding.

Using several detection spells, the elven girls quickly figured out their situation.

It seems their attempt to steal the submarine has been discovered, and the submarine's location has been locked by the magical device on board. Now, their pursuers are here.

About 3000 meters behind them, two small warships belonging to the Shirakawa Shipping Company were in hot pursuit. The explosion just now was from depth charges launched by the warships.

The elf girls' first idea was to use the weapons on the submarine to fight back.

But when they tried to do it, they discovered that many of the weapons on the submarine had already been destroyed when they seized it, and they didn't know how to use the ones that weren't destroyed.

In the extreme education these elves received, magical techniques were considered inferior skills used only by slaves who couldn't use magic; for the noble elves, magic was enough.

This also gave the elf girls blind confidence. Since the weapons on the submarine were ineffective, they decided to surface the submarine and sink the pursuing human warships themselves!

Soon, the submarine rose from a depth of about 50 meters until half of its hull was above the water. Then, two of the elven mages opened the hatch on top of the submarine, jumped out, and stood on the submarine to launch magic attacks on the human warships behind it.

Objectively speaking, these two elven mages are quite powerful. The ice magic they cast together created a giant ice cone capable of supersonic flight, which on Earth could actually sink some less advanced small destroyers.

But this world has magic. The energy shield technology that technological civilizations covet is just a basic military technology in magical civilizations.

White River Shipping is Amelie's business, so the ships she assigned to it were not the privately modified armed vessels of ordinary slave traders, but all genuine warships retired from the Federation Navy.
