The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 174: Fafnir Seems Suspicious


Sariel's fleet consists of two heavy warships and four cargo ships. These four cargo ships are actually victims plundered by the sirens, volunteering to join the fight to compensate for their losses—essentially following behind the warships to rob the pirates' home.

Of course, cargo ships can't keep up with the warships advancing at full speed, and Sariel doesn't need to deliberately protect them. If they encounter sea monster sirens, they can even serve as bait.

After the mermaid ascended, her power significantly increased, using the Tidal Power to rapidly propel the Silver Queen forward, reaching the offshore of Plague Island in less than two hours.

The exciting moment of revenge was, of course, to be watched by the Angel Race chat group.

At this moment, the first mate reported: "Received news from the Black Iron City Navy's Black Iron Blade warship, it's Black Iron Flower Fafnir!"

Sariel was surprised: "She's nearby? Let's see what she says!"

The magic crystal screen connects, and Fafnir appears in her black general's uniform on the screen, exuding a heroic aura.

Sariel was stunned!

The Angel Race members exclaimed in amazement: "She actually has this skin?"

"It's simply too beautiful! The beauty of black! The beauty of steel!"

"Ah, I kind of regret it, should I have settled in Black Iron City?"

Michael laughed: "Everyone, don't just admire her beauty, I find her presence here very suspicious, don't you agree, Sariel?"

Sariel was instantly alert: "That makes sense."

Fafnir spoke: "Greetings from the Black Iron Navy to the esteemed Silver Navy! May I ask your fleet—ah, the respected Mr. Sariel is also here, Ms. Remia, hello—"

Sariel asked: "Ms. Fafnir, what are you doing here?"

Fafnir replied: "Of course, patrolling and intercepting, preventing pirates from spreading the plague to Black Iron City. May I ask your fleet's purpose?"

Sariel solemnly said: "Of course, we're conducting bombardment punishment on the source of pollution, Plague Island! Otherwise, we can't explain to the citizens of Silver City who suffered losses."

Fafnir frowned: "But Mr. Sariel, although Plague Island is abandoned, it's still a territory of Black Iron City. Your forces coming over to bombard our territory—"

Sariel forcefully interrupted: "Of course, it's a joint exercise to bombard the abandoned island! Please join the exercise, Ms. Fafnir!"

Fafnir was stunned: "This—"

Sariel continued forcefully: "Our Silver City hasn't even questioned the responsibility for the plague source infecting your territory."

Fafnir awkwardly agreed: "It is an honor to participate in your joint exercise!"

Sariel was satisfied: "Then please have the Black Iron Blade reach the designated sea area and join our formation!"

"Black Iron Blade understands."

Magic crystal screen image closed.

The chat group sighed: "Ah, she caved in, how dull!"

"I thought with such a strong black steel appearance, she'd be very assertive, but she actually passed Sariel's compliance test…"

"After all, Black Iron City's status isn't on the same level as Silver City's."

"Even though she dared to claim Plague Island as Black Iron City's territory, it's still surprising to me."

Sariel was delighted: "I think I have a good plan—"

Raphael said grumpily: "Don't you dare think about my Gem Flower!"

Sariel was astonished: "Raphael, since when did you start liking women?"

"Just now, when I saw her in the valiant general's uniform! I also want my Gem Flower to wear a heroic general's uniform!"

Gabriel snorted: "My Oak Flower is my beloved little treasure, come near and I'll bite you!"

Sariel laughed: "Then how about I reclaim the Pirate Flower, you have no objections, right?"

"No objections, but what if we don't want you to succeed?"

"You're just jealous!"

Michael couldn't help but laugh: "Let's see what that guy is up to!"

Sariel laughed: "Even though I don't think he's worth wasting a Global Hawk on, wasting is the greatest pleasure…"

As the Global Hawk approached Plague Island again, a completely different scene from two days ago appeared on the camera.

The chat group was in uproar: "How did it change like this? Was there a battle?"

Sariel immediately connected to Fafnir: "Ms. Fafnir, the abandoned buildings on Plague Island have been leveled, what's going on?"

Fafnir was stunned: "I'm not aware!"

Sariel frowned: "Everyone, what do you think?"

"She's nearby, she says she's unaware, becoming more suspicious."

"It's not like a nuclear explosion, would everyone nearby know?"

"Where's that guy gone? There's no sound from the blacksmith's shop."

"Go take a look."

The hawk landed at the blacksmith's shop, the forge was burning fiercely, but Chun was not there.

"Is there a possibility that Sariel's departure from Silver Port was so loud all the players figured it out, and Chun is hiding out of fear?"

"That's inevitable. The most likely hiding place is that mine. Even the Global Hawk can't investigate in such a dark and complex environment."

Sariel was extremely displeased: "Then flatten this blacksmith's shop!"

As the hawk flew again, it discovered a hole under some ruins.

Sariel was shocked: "This building—is it a bank? Basement—vault! An open vault!"

Everyone exclaimed: "How could there be a vault?"

Michael hastily asked the butler: "Is there any task confirmed in the Plague Island information?"

The butler said: "Yes! But the possibility of the plot module self-loading isn't ruled out! This is a generic bank vault, which players can hardly crack open, so it's likely that a top locksmith among the pirates opened this vault."

Suddenly enlightened, Michael said: "So, Chun's claim of finding a will in the ruins is not credible, actually the pirates opened the vault and found the will, then planned the Southern Canyon Village event—it seems this event is real! If we really follow the list in the will for debt collection, the city lord family Fafnir belongs to will be the first to be implicated."

Sariel's brow jumped: "So that explains Fafnir's suspicious presence, she's intercepting pirates nearby not wanting them to further advance the event?"

Everyone understood: "That should be it."

Gabriel said: "The vault can't only hold wills, likely it has financial ledgers and IOUs. So Bilenna sent by pirates claiming no ledger might just be a preliminary probe… And the massive gathering of China District players in Southern Canyon Village shows they know the internal story, they know the ledger truly exists!"

Raphael said: "This leveled ruin is very likely undergoing large-scale excavation activity by the pirates these past two days, trying to find a bigger vault or something."

Sariel sneered: "In the end, just a severe blow to the pirates can solve the problem, right?"

Everyone agreed: "It's indeed the simplest and most straightforward solution."

Michael said: "So, there's actually no need to attack Plague Island, we don't need to expose our actions publicly. Asking Fafnir if she's willing to fight pirates can reveal her attitude."

Sariel sighed: "Alright then, it's already rubble anyway, journalists can take some pictures, giving an explanation to the citizens."

Before long, Fafnir happily replied: "I'm honored to join your forces in eliminating pirates!"

Sariel was very pleased: "Seems she's alright!"
