Chapter 201: A Swift Return

~13 min read 2,465 words

It seems that this time, it is not that Ganseer lacks understanding of the enemy, but that he lacks some understanding of his own people.

He does not even know what trump cards his own people have.

"You all know?" Ganseer was stunned; he did not realize that these Xiahui People had actually gathered so much intelligence.

"This ship was built by us Xiahui People in the first place." Several players looked at this NPC as if he were a fool; at this moment, Xin Zhi Xiang Wang finally experienced that long-lost sense of superiority.

"This ship finished its maiden voyage one week ago. It only takes one hour and twenty minutes to reach Port City. If it weren't for the many turns, it might have arrived in forty minutes." Xin Zhi Xiang Wang revealed the situation, "The reason the peace talks went so smoothly is because those barbarians were wiped out."

"You all know?" Ganseer felt particularly uncomfortable; the news he had worked so hard to inquire about was already known to these people.

He frowned and said, "Did that Priestess tell you all this?"

"Uh..." These players had only been here for a week and could not possibly know so much about what happened a week ago; they could only have learned the situation through that Priestess.

But the Priestess should not have known about that ship. Could it be that someone had already relayed the news to the Queen beforehand?

This Queen actually still has eyes and ears in Tana City!

Ganseer only felt a chill all over his body; he was actually inferior to these Gannaer people.

And this was while he himself was an Awakened...

"You have done well." Ganseer returned to the posture of a superior, "I will apply for your bonuses from the Federal. If there is more information, you can also tell me."

"Uh..." The sense of superiority that Xin Zhi Xiang Wang had finally managed to accumulate was instantly shattered by the other party, "I do know some things, but they should all be things you have already inquired about."

"For example?" Ganseer looked at him indifferently.

"For example, before the war, we manufactured the Wealth Church's Golden Array. After the enemy transformed into golden products, we used the Lightning Array to wipe them out."

"Another example, we demanded that Gannaer open trade ports and hand over the witch leader."

"And we are going to open a shipping route with Gannaer in the future to conduct trade and logistics; Tana City will open a new chapter."

"This is all understanding of ourselves; you have done quite well." Ganseer felt a bit desolate, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Are you willing to become Federal spies?"

"Spies?" Xin Zhi Xiang Wang said with some excitement, "Can we become Awakened?"

Hearing the other party's words, Ganseer shivered, "Of course not, that is our family's awakening method, but if you are willing, we can provide other paths to awakening."

"What paths are there?" If it were a formula obtained from Ganseer's hands, it would certainly be authentic.

"I can only tell you when you have made contributions, but what I can confirm is that we have mastered the initial versions of at least ten paths."

"Initial versions? Does that mean we can advance further later?"

Ganseer said coldly, "I advise you not to think too beautifully. Advancement usually requires bloodline inheritance and some luck. Most people can only stay at the initial version; it is not easy to advance to become a mid-stage Awakened."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can advance, it's fine; as long as it's not like the Thieves who cannot advance at all," Xin Zhi Xiang Wang said expectantly.

This matter must be shared with the players. He hadn't caught the chance to become an informant for the Wealth Church back then, nor could he become one of the top Warriors in the War Church, but he hadn't expected there would still be a chance to obtain more formulas than them.

When the time comes, everyone will have to thank him; there is no telling how many tips there will be on the forum.

"Who said Thieves cannot advance?" Ganseer rolled his eyes at the players, "You must have heard that from that guy Evans, right? He has no talent, so of course he cannot advance, and advancement requires materials."

"In other words, it can still be advanced?"

"Heh, high-level Thieves can even steal time." Ganseer looked at those few players, "Alright, if you are willing to join us, I can give you codenames and documents. When you accumulate 1000 points, I will give you what you want."

After boarding the ship and returning to Tana City, Jimola still felt a bit bewildered.

She was surprised by the Queen's speed and also remembered that she had forgotten those manuscripts with the Queen.

Fortunately, the Queen should only be reading them, not destroying them; even if they were destroyed, they could be bought again in Tana City, so this was not a big problem.

Carrying the documents, she soon saw her disciples waiting at the pier.

They were still staring at the ship sailing at the pier; those Federal people seemed not to care at all whether they would escape, not caring in the slightest.

Niya rubbed her eyes; she had just been sad that she couldn't go home, and now she saw the returning ship.

From the teacher's departure to the teacher's return, it had been less than three hours.

These Priestesses hadn't even finished touring the port area.

Those Federal people completely ignored them, only telling them not to think about escaping, and then left them alone.

So these few Priestesses began to wander around the pier area.

Seeing the ship again, everyone still felt something was not quite right.

"The teacher is back?"

"Did the ship have a problem?"

"It couldn't be that they went to Gannaer and came back already."

Seeing the teacher disembark, several Priestesses hurried to greet her.

"Why are you still at the pier?" Jimola herself was still dazed, "I have brought the Queen's documents."

"This is too fast." Niya covered her mouth in surprise, "Is this ship this fast?"

"Yes, it only takes one hour to reach Gannaer; we didn't lose unjustly." Priestess Jimola patted her disciple, "Alright, let's go find those Federal people."

Watching her disciples buy a pile of things, Jimola felt dazed again.

If she remembered correctly, her disciples didn't bring much Tana, and when she left, she didn't instruct the Federal people to arrange their living, so where did they get the money to buy things?

"Don't look at us like that, we just used Fish Coins to buy things from them. They think we will definitely be able to trade with them in the future, so they are willing to recycle the money in our hands." Niya pursed her lips, "I think it's quite a good deal; for example, those fruits only cost 3 Small Fish Coins, those windmills are more expensive, costing two Large Fish Coins."

"That's quite good." Jimola blinked.

"Quite good?" Niya didn't understand what the teacher meant.

"I mean, if we can trade with Tana City, it will be of great benefit to us. Although we all produce plenty of Grain and have plenty of fruits, we don't have their technological products." Speaking of this, Jimola felt a bit sad; Gannaer had spent too much time on internal strife. Perhaps many years later, everyone would realize that the disappearance of the Spirit-Medium Faction was a mistake.

Niya also said, "Indeed, they originally wanted to invite us to visit the factory, but it's too far, and it is said to be very remote."

"You should go and take a look; learning artisan knowledge here is also not bad," Jimola said, as a black carriage stopped in front of her.

"Ladies, you should be going to the Municipal Building; we can give you a free ride," several players said with a smile, "I know you need to hand the Armistice Agreement to the Municipal Building, but they just left here a moment ago. If you take the carriage now, you can still hand in the quest before they get off work."

The Xiahui People are truly bold, actually daring to mock the Municipal Building's closing time.

However, this is also their characteristic; they have the ability, so even if they mock a little, it does not matter.

By comparison, even the Priestess would not dare to say that those nobles are doing anything wrong, and can only remind them not to kill civilians and not to provoke the God of Death.

"You may." Jimola boarded the carriage, then said to her disciples, "You can just go back directly after you finish looking around; I do not need an escort."

"But Teacher..." Niya said with some unease, "Is this matter really ending just like this?"

"Yes, we lost, and the Queen also admitted that we lost." Jimola shook her head, "If possible, I hope you can stay in Tana City when the time comes, to be the first group of people in the embassy. You must understand this place more in the future, understand the Federal, and do not be like before."

Although it is not written in the contract, if both sides want to communicate freely, they certainly need to build an embassy.

This is the proof of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides.

The Gannaer of the past also had an embassy in Tana City, but that was already a matter from decades ago.

She brought these disciples over this time also because she felt that Gannaer was in a bad situation, hoping they could avoid this disaster; she knew Gannaer had a chance of winning, and a high chance at that, but she did not expect to lose so miserably this time.

At the time, she thought that if Tana City were truly occupied, then these children of hers would remain in Tana City and become the first group of government office staff.

As it turned out, the speed of the defeat caught everyone off guard, and she can now only hope that these children become the first group of embassy staff in Tana City.

In any case, being able to leave that place of right and wrong, Gannaer, is not a bad thing.

After all, these children are still young, unlike that child Virjini, who would be very reluctant to leave the library if she left Gannaer.

Having witnessed the strength of the Federal, Jimola no longer considers herself a servant of the God of Death, but appears in the capacity of a diplomat.

Riding in the carriage, she quickly arrived at the Municipal Building.

The people here are the same as usual, as if they have not been affected by the War.

Unlike Gannaer, Tana City is invaded by Barbarians year-round, and everyone is already used to the behavior of those Barbarians; this time, with fifty thousand soldiers appearing on the front line, those nobles were not panicked in the slightest.

Compared to the chaos created by the witches of the Red Moon goddess, the war created by those Barbarians has no impact on the nobles, and they can even raise the price of Grain a little because of the war.

Inside the hall, no one saw Jimola arrive; everyone had their own things to do, and as the time for getting off work at 3:00 PM drew closer, they hoped to take a look at the latest news while tasting afternoon tea, to see how the Federal defeated those useless Barbarians.

"Excuse me, which office is the Governor in?" Taking out the contract, Jimola stopped a staff member at random, "I am the Priestess of Gannaer, and I have already obtained the documents they need."

"What? A priestess from Gannaer?" This staff member seemed to know nothing about the Gannaer affair, "What did you come here to do?"

"The Armistice Agreement, this is our reconciliation contract." Jimola did not know who this thing should be handed to, but theoretically speaking, she did not need to hand it to the people of the War Church.

Mainly, she also did not wish to have contact with those people, and preferred to contact the Governor here, to contact the City Lord.

After all, judging from the previous contact, the attitude of these people was still very good, completely unlike the people of the War Church.

"What contract?" This staff member was ignorant of everything, "Forget it, since you are from Gannaer, then I will tell you: the Governor is busy this afternoon and is not here, and the City Lord has also been invited by the people of the War Church; you can make an appointment first."

Even as people of Tana City, they did not expect that a round trip to Gannaer would only take two hours, nor did they expect that the Queen would not give Jimola any time to rest, sending this Priestess back immediately after signing.

And at this moment, the latest evening paper had just arrived at the Municipal Building, "The evening paper is here, everyone distribute it; a big thing happened today!"

"What thing, what thing?" A group of slacking staff members came over, and there were also many people in the office who heard the news and walked out, wanting to see what the evening paper said.

Instead, they left this Priestess standing there.

"It says that those Barbarians received help from the Gannaer people; in short, we sent their envoy to Gannaer to negotiate peace, and also, our people plan to go find those Barbarians after a while to let them know what the Federal is!"

"This..." The person who spoke with Jimola was stunned for a moment, "Didn't we just send an envoy today? Could it be that you are...?"

"Yes." Jimola's face turned dark; she herself did not expect that these people in Tana City would actually not value this matter so much.

She had already come at top speed, and they did not even know yet!

"Sorry, we also only found out this morning that the war was won, and as you can see, this war did not affect us at all."

"It's fine, can you help me contact your Governor now?" Jimola said calmly.

"No problem!" This staff member let Jimola rest in the reception hall for a while, then went upstairs directly to first find Miss Saina to confirm where the Governor is right now.

"You mean that Gannaer person is back?" Saina was also stunned for a moment, and was startled.

She also did not expect that this envoy would return in just a few hours.
