Chapter 112 Cooperation

Klemeisi Fortress, headquarters of Angel Corps, a middle-aged man in a black decorative robe entered the Angel Corps guild hall. He looked up, and Angelic Feather, wearing demon hunter leather armor, was sitting in a chair in front of him.

"Brother Liu, hope you've been well." He smiled slightly.

"Brother Cao, what brings you here?" Angelic Feather narrowed his eyes slightly. Their relationship was not as harmonious as it seemed to outsiders. They had many conflicting interests. If it weren't for the common enemy of Nirvana Flame, they probably wouldn't be able to maintain their current cooperative state.

"I'm implementing a plan that requires Brother Liu's cooperation." Cao Xu sat down in a chair next to him.

"Brother Cao, please speak frankly. If I can help, I will definitely do my best." Angelic Feather said readily, wondering what this old fox Cao Xu wanted from him.

"Brother Liu must already know about the Blood Demon Knights in the Greenland Empire."

"I've heard something about it. It should be Brother Cao's masterpiece."

Cao Xu smiled and said, "The Blood Demon Knights should give Nirvana Flame a headache for a while. I hope we can work together. I've already bought off about a thousand people from Nirvana Flame. Brother Liu should have quite a few on your side too. If we can cooperate, we can at least make Nirvana Flame decline in the short term."

"That's possible, but I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to bring down Nirvana Flame with just this." Angelic Feather said. Having fought Nirvana Flame for so long, he was quite clear about Nirvana Flame's methods.

"This is just one of them. I'm prepared to spend a lot of money to buy off players from the Demonkin Tribe and the Undead Empire, and have them go and cause trouble for Nirvana Flame. I don't expect them to cause too much damage to Nirvana Flame, as long as they can buy us some time so we can get a few more top-tier classes." Cao Xu said, this was also a last resort. The gap between them and Nirvana Flame was too great. Nirvana Flame had been expanding recently. Once their dominance in the Greenland Empire was secure, they would probably start a war with Angel Corps and Century Financial Group.

"I will use all of Angel Corps' strength to cooperate." Angelic Feather said. He understood that Angel Corps' biggest enemy was Nirvana Flame. The conflicts of interest with Century Financial Group could be put aside for the time being, and they would first focus on Nirvana Flame.

The two strongest forces in the Saturn Empire began to cooperate fully, launching a series of actions in secret.

The power structure of the underground world underwent some changes due to the activities of Century Financial Group and Angel Corps. Team after team of players, after accepting tasks, began their journey to the surface.

On the Nirvana Flame side, the guild's thief group had been searching for traces of the Blood Demon Knights, but the Blood Demon Knights seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and no trace could be found.

Nirvana Flame and the others couldn't stay in the city all the time, so those who needed to level up did so, and those who needed to farm bosses did so.

Nirvana Flame went to Emerald City alone. He had obtained some news about the remaining two components of the Abak Set.

If he could collect the Abak Set first, he would have more confidence when he fought the Blood Demon Knights.

Emerald City, since the Sword of Gods had submitted to Nirvana Flame, Nirvana Flame had obtained absolute control of Emerald City. It was much calmer here. The major guilds within Emerald City were all well-behaved, and no major battles had occurred.

Nirvana Flame's influence in Emerald City was growing, and it was what everyone wanted. If a guild wanted to oppose Nirvana Flame, it would probably collapse from within first. Because in their eyes, Nirvana Flame was too powerful, and there would be no good outcome for provoking Nirvana Flame. When Nirvana Flame first entered Emerald City, it was resisted by several guilds. With a single order from Nirvana Flame, those guilds were subjected to a joint attack like a thunderstorm from the Mad Warrior Alliance and the Sword of Gods, and were forced to disband. Since then, no guild dared to provoke Nirvana Flame. At that time, the other guilds were uneasy, thinking that Nirvana Flame would eventually annex them one by one, but Nirvana Flame convinced people with virtue and simply formulated a relatively fair treaty for all the guilds in Emerald City, and these guilds were finally settled down.

Seeing the general trend, the Sword of Gods had no choice but to bargain with Nirvana Flame and accept Nirvana Flame's reorganization. Since then, Nirvana Flame had absolute authority in Emerald City. Nirvana Flame's players could walk on the streets of Emerald City with their heads held high, respected by the players of other guilds.

Nirvana Flame passed through the streets of Emerald City, walked out of the city gate, and headed outside the city.

His destination was a cemetery outside the city. The task clue showed that one of the remaining components of the Abak Set was there.

It was only a thousand yards away from Emerald City, only a few minutes' walk.

Nirvana Flame activated Gale Steps and flew towards the cemetery.

About a minute later, Nirvana Flame arrived at an open square. This was a very spectacular mausoleum, he didn't know who it belonged to. The entrance was built of many white stones in the center. The outside was surrounded by fences for a range of a thousand yards, and there were many NPCs at the entrance. After counting, there were thirteen in total, all dressed in white solemn clothing. They were the guardians of this mausoleum.

In addition to these NPCs, there were many players, about two or three hundred. Many of them were chatting with these guarding NPCs, not knowing what they were saying, probably something about a quest. Team after team of twenty players entered the mausoleum.

At this time, a crisp system prompt sounded.

System: Talk to the Guardian Kalis.

Nirvana Flame walked towards those guardians, his eyes searched, and landed on one of the guardians, an old man in his sixties or seventies, but full of vigor. This was Kalis, the person he was looking for. He was talking to three or four players, and at least a dozen people were lined up behind him, waiting to talk to the Guardian Kalis.

Nirvana Flame waited in place for a while, but the players around the Guardian Kalis didn't seem to be decreasing, but were increasing. He was really getting impatient, so he went straight to the Guardian Kalis.

"Hey, kid, are you looking for death? Get to the back and pay to line up!" A tall warrior saw Nirvana Flame approaching, slapped Nirvana Flame's head with his palm, and said fiercely.

Hearing the warrior's words, Nirvana Flame realized what was going on. No wonder he had waited so long and the number of people here hadn't decreased, but had increased. It was these guys who were slowing down the process!

He dodged to the side, causing the warrior to miss, then gently hooked his right foot, causing the warrior to lose his balance and fall to the ground with a thud.

In his previous life, in front of some popular NPCs, there was often a group of people who would occupy an NPC. Anyone who wanted to take or turn in a quest to this NPC had to pay them a sum of money. Nirvana Flame had encountered this kind of thing a lot in his previous life. At that time, although he was aggrieved, he could only pay obediently like these players.

Nirvana Flame glanced around. There were at least thirty people nearby, all wearing Gray Bear badges. These people were preparing to rush over.

Nirvana Flame moved his right hand, and the Sword of Zennarde suddenly appeared in his palm, burning with raging flames.

"Damn!" The warrior who fell to the ground was immediately furious. He raised his head to vent his anger, but his eyes fell on the Sword of Zennarde in Nirvana Flame's right hand. His eyes suddenly became dull. It was Mad Rogue Nirvana Flame!

More than thirty people on the periphery were preparing to surround and teach Nirvana Flame a lesson, but when they saw the Sword of Zennarde in Nirvana Flame's hand, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"Nirvana Flame, we deserve to die. We didn't expect it to be you."

"Nirvana Flame, sorry, we'll go back and die immediately. You don't have to do it yourself."

They quickly apologized, one by one bowing and scraping. The game was their livelihood. They were all casual professional players, and Nirvana Flame could smash their rice bowls at any time. As long as Nirvana Flame said a word, the major guilds would be able to hunt them down to level zero in no time. This was a very terrifying power. So when they saw Nirvana Flame, they were all frightened.

Seeing that these guys were as weak as lapdogs, Nirvana Flame lost interest in fighting them and said lightly, "Get out of here in two minutes. I don't want to see you here again in the future."

"Yes!" These guys ran away with their tails between their legs.

Nirvana Flame walked to the side of the Guardian Kalis.

"Respected Great Prophet, Light Arbiter, Holy Shadow Dancer, Nirvana Flame, hello." The Guardian Kalis bowed deeply.

The surrounding players watched from a distance. Seeing the Guardian Kalis being so respectful to Nirvana Flame, they were shocked. They often leveled up here, and they knew how lofty the Guardian Kalis's position was in Emerald City, equivalent to a marquis, but in front of Nirvana Flame, he was like a servant.

"Mr. Kalis, I would like to ask, have you seen this thing?" Nirvana Flame opened Shadow of Darkness, pointed to one of the pictures, and asked.

The picture on it was the Abak Boots of Swiftness. Nirvana Flame could only ask like this, otherwise it would be difficult to explain clearly.

Kalis showed a thoughtful expression and nodded, "I have seen this thing at the Magister Lefis's place, but..."

"But what?" Nirvana Flame asked, seeing Kalis's hesitant look.

"May I ask, Great Prophet Nirvana Flame, are you looking for this thing?" Kalis asked.

"Yes."

"The Magister Lefis is a very eccentric person, and he hates others coveting his things."

"Then how can I get the Boots of Swiftness from him?"

"You can only defeat him." Kalis said.

Hearing Kalis's words, Nirvana Flame raised an eyebrow. A magister-level NPC? He wondered how strong that guy was.
