Chapter 209: 209, Battle of Aphi City (Part 4) (Supplementary Update)_1

Translator: 549690339

In the center of Aphi city square.

A very crude wooden building is erected right in the center of the square.

Half a minute after Su Yu sent a private message, this wooden building suddenly crumbled into dust, the dust scattering outward.

Two figures, one red and one blue, flew out from the crumbled dust and headed in the direction of Su Yu and Tina.

These two figures were none other than the “Lord Alex” and “Lady Camilla” whom Su Yu had mentioned. They were both Sanctuary Mages of the [Scholar’s Temple].

After the two Sanctuary warriors left, nearby players were amazed to discover – under the crumbled wooden building, a teleportation array was exposed to the air, emitting a brilliant magical glow.

This is a medium-sized teleportation array. Through this array, players and NPCs can teleport to the various major cities of the Empire.

Su Yu began planning to construct this teleportation array after the 25th round of the Tina storyline ended.

In the 25th round of the Tina storyline, the Empire’s guardian god Kevin Forsythia left Orleans City and wouldn’t be coming back anytime soon.

This resulted in a serious problem:

In the past, Su Yu wasn’t afraid of antagonizing the city lord Claude, since the guardian god was present. So he’d provoked Tina into killing the city lord’s uncle, obtaining the blueprint for the [Auction House], while also providing funding for Tina’s subsequent reforms.

But now the guardian god is gone.

The guardian god could pat his buttocks and leave casually, but Su Yu’s territory was located in Orleans City!

With just a toe, he could figure out that Claude would definitely target their territory, it wouldn’t even be strange if he personally led troops to attack their territory.

And indeed, as he’d guessed, Claude really did send troops to attack his territory.

After the 25th round of the Tina storyline ended, to counter Claude’s upcoming plan, Su Yu thought upon his force – the [Scholar’s Temple].

The Scholar’s Temple had three 6th-level Sanctuary warriors and approximately thirty to forty 5th-level warriors. Their elite combat strength was superior to that of the Orleans City lord’s manor. If they had their support, Su Yu wouldn’t be afraid of Claude attacking his territory.

But the Scholar’s Temple was based in Forsythia City, it couldn’t reach as far as Orleans City, so Su Yu began planning to build a teleportation array.

At that time, Tina still hadn’t upgraded her quality and didn’t know the [Teleportation Portal] skill.

Then, Su Yu arranged a large number of hidden tasks for the [Neon Nuclear Wastewater] five-person team.

Half of these hidden tasks were to elevate their equipment and skills; the other half were almost all related to prerequisites for the teleportation array.

In the end it was [Godzilla, the Neon Average] who was lucky.

Godzilla handled the sultry female NPC [Jenna] with a powerful kiss, raising her affection to [Enthusiasm stage].

After a part of the indecent storyline, Godzilla found a [teleportation array blueprint] under Jenna’s bed storage box.

With the teleportation scroll triumphantly in hand, Su Yu rewarded their five-person team with a bonus of 100,000 spiritual energy coins!

But Su Yu asked them to keep it quiet.

After the construction blueprint was obtained, Su Yu personally went to Pearl City to buy the materials needed for the teleportation array and let little Kathy and the magic craftsmen work overnight. He even asked the old carpenter Brooke to build a crude wooden shelter over the teleportation array.

After all these measures, apart from Su Yu and the Nuclear Wastewater team, no one else knew about the existence of the teleportation array.

This maximized the secrecy of the teleportation array to ensure it wouldn’t be leaked, and wouldn’t reach city lord Claude’s ears.

It was not until now, when Alex and Camilla, the two Sanctuary powerhouses, smashed the wooden structure and flew out, revealing the teleportation array underneath, that the players understood:

Oh! So under this crude wooden structure, there is actually a hidden teleportation array!

.

Alex and Camilla moved quickly, their blue and red figures reaching Su Yu’s location in an instant.

The five members of Haimleke hurriedly saluted the two. “Honorable Alex and Honorable Camilla, welcome.”

Su Yu also respectfully saluted them and added, “Thank you for your timely support.”

“Don’t mention it, we’re just benefiting each other.” Alex flew beside Su Yu and patted him approvingly on the shoulder.

In his eyes, Nemesis was a young man with extensive knowledge, who was able to pass advanced scholar tests at a young age, which was incredible!

Besides, Nemesis was also very wealthy and had made many contributions to the Holy Temple this time. He was very happy to work with such a talented person.

Sanctuary powerhouse, Camilla, looked like an old granny with white hair and a beneficent face. She stared at the approaching city lord Claude, a flaming red magic wand emerging from the void into her hand: “Is this Claude Strathrow?”

“Yes, it’s me,” Claude said gloomily from a distance, and he slowly flew over with his nine followers.

Claude had thought his plan was foolproof. He was to follow the commands of that superior, and seize the opportunity while the Guardian God was absent to kill Tina Garcia.

Destroying Su Yu’s territory was just a side task.

But unexpectedly, the arrival of five 5th Tier powerhouses from the Scholar’s Temple disrupted their plans, and now even two sanctuary powerhouses had arrived!

Had Nemesis not been an adventurer from another world, Claude would have even started suspecting that Nemesis was the illegitimate child of Alex and Camilla.

But the problem now is serious.

With two more Sanctuary powerhouses on Nemesis and Tina’s side, they were at a disadvantage in high-end firepower. How could he kill Tina now? Claude frowned.

But there’s no time for that now. Since he’s here, Claude decided to tentatively probe with words first.

“Greetings, masters of the Scholar’s Temple, I am Claude Strathrow, the city lord of Orleans City.”

“May I know why your esteemed temple has interfered in our internal affairs in Orleans City? Do you think just because our strength is inferior to the Imperial Capital you can bully us at will?” Claude said, his words prickly.

“Your Excellency Claude, you have misunderstood,” Alex explained with a smile. “In our Scholar’s Temple, there have always been two conflicting opinions.”

“One opinion is that the temple should attract rich merchants and nobles and earn membership fees to maintain the daily expenses of the temple.

With the money, the temple can buy more highly valued books, start its own academic journal, exchange with scholars from all over the country, brainstorm, and make joint progress.”

“The other opinion, however, firmly rejects the entry of nobles and merchants, arguing that it would destroy the purity of the temple.

“The Scholar’s Temple should be a place for discussing academics, it shouldn’t be corrupted by money and power. Moreover, we can’t let these merchants and nobles climb to the top ranks and turn the temple into a tool for politics and business.”

“I’ve said this much, do you understand now?”

Alex looked kindly at Claude.

“I think I do,” Claude nodded in confusion. “But then what? Does this have anything to do with you butting in Orleans City’s internal affairs?”
