Chapter 482 - 36. Snow Cloud Special Attack Team (Two-in-One)
Chapter 482 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual" begins with suspenseful moments: "Ha, so itâs these guys. Have they fallen so low that theyâre now recruiting demi-humans... Donât miss it!
"Ha, so itâs these guys. Have they fallen so low that theyâre now recruiting demi-humans to do their bidding..."
The Emhardt who had been keeping a stern expression just a second ago immediately became lively after hearing Blairâs words. He blinked his eyes and muttered to Fisher in a throaty voice.
"You know them?"
"Ah, youâre a Nali, itâs normal for you not to know, or rather, some locals from the Northern Realm might not recognize them either... Mia, a small country located in the northern part of the Northern Realm, near Sema Mountain, small country, small issues, so of course, their intelligence agency isnât well-known."
"However, as the country closest to the Turand Family, theyâve received no small amount of support from them. The Snow Cloud Special Attack Team has had equipment and weapons that could rival those of the Sardinia Female Countryâs intelligence agency since back in the day... But even so, what they have now is a bit too outrageous..."
Of course, everything created with the Completion Manual is outrageous.
But Fisher had only heard of the country of Mia, and was not familiar with other relevant matters. They were very far from the Sardinia Female Country, let alone Nali.
But since Mia had an unclear and indescribable relationship with the Turand Family, was it possible that this thing came from the Turand Family?
Fisher, who didnât get an answer, rubbed his brow with a hint of a headache. Now, the problem he faced was, if there was another Completion Manual holder in the Northern Realm, then he must consider whether to continue heading to the Northern Realm or not.
Dealing with two Completion Manual holders wasnât a joke and could very well lead to his death with nowhere to bury him. Fisher couldnât take that risk.
But if he didnât go to the Northern Realm, wouldnât all the information he had collected about the Snow Mountain Clan and these seals be useless?
Fisher sighed, pressing the vexing issue down in his heart, and turned to look at the Cloud Cat Species male dressed as a barista next to him.
This guy had short, cropped white hair, and unlike female Cloud Cats, he had quite a bit of prominent cat fur on his cheeks, distinctly different from his head hair, and even on the back of his hands. It seemed male Cloud Cats had more fur than females.
"Are you here because of the item taken away by the Nali Exploration Company?"
Blair was about to say something else but his expression turned to shock upon hearing Fisherâs words,
"You... you know? No, listen to me, itâs not that simple. Itâs not only the Nali Exploration Company, thereâs someone behind them..."
"And people from the Nali Official, let me guess, the Nali Overseas Secret Bureau?"
Blair opened his mouth to say "how did you know" but instead he just added absent-mindedly,
"Thereâs also the Sardinia Female Countryâs Knight Order."
"Sardinia Female Country?"
Fisherâs expression changed slightly. He really hadnât expected this thing to be related to the Sardinia Female Country. He pondered for several seconds and then suddenly realized something. He turned to Blair and asked,
"Wait, what exactly is the item taken away by the Nali Exploration Company?"
"...Ice, and a very large piece of it, dug out from a Grey Bird Species tomb. Before we could get there to stop the grave robbery, they had already taken that piece of Ice away from Mia."
After hearing his words, Fisher suddenly understood what Nali was really after.
Simply put, the Nali funded the excavation of a precious piece of Ice in Mia and intended to sell it to the women of the Sardinia Female Country in the Northern Realm.
Of course, the purpose wasnât just as simple as making money.
Although Ice could be considered valuable, for the Nali people, apart from placing it back in a museum, there was no other use for it. But for those countries that worship the Frost Phoenix, the Ice that proved the Phoenixâs existence was undoubtedly an object of religious significance...
This object originally belonged to Mia, but now it had been sold by the Nali to the Sardinia Female Countryâthere was no way Fisher would believe it was unintentional.
"Listen, you donât know how serious this is... Ice is very important to us, or rather, to the Northern Realm. Once it falls into the hands of the Sardinia Female Country, the consequences will be unimaginable. It could lead to a religious revolution! Do you know how many people in the Northern Realm believe in the Sealed Phoenix? Itâs as terrifying as the Mother Goddessâs coming to the Western Continent."
Fisher understood what Blair meant; even though he knew the Mother Goddess might truly exist, presently in the Western Continent, even Kado didnât possess a single artifact that had been used by the Mother Goddess...
If an artifact used by the Mother Goddess herself were to descend upon the Western Continent right now, the Nali and Schwali might fare well, but those countries to the east of Kado would truly be plunged into turmoil once again.
Fisher wasnât in a position to comment on religious matters, but he couldnât deny the enormous hidden power they heldâa truth universally acknowledged in the Northern Realm.
"We originally planned to snatch that piece of Ice back from the hands of the Nali right here, but surprisingly, theyâre not planning to transport it to the Sardinia Female Country. Instead, they directly called them over to pick it up... But donât forget, the Iceberg Queen is currently wanted by the Sardinia Female Country. The ones coming to fetch it are the Sovereignâs âPhoenix Knights.â Given their strength and style, they definitely wonât let Alagina, the criminal, get away."
The Phoenix Knights, the most well-equipped and powerful knights of the Female Country, were said to have strength beyond ordinary people, with their gear regardless of the cost. If they were coming to receive the Ice, the situation indeed would become particularly troublesome.
"So, do you want to cooperate with us?"
According to Mia Snow Cloud Special Attack Teamâs original plan, they intended to recover the Ice themselves, but now that the formidable Phoenix Knights had gotten involved, they had no choice but to seek out resources on the spot, planning to form an alliance with Alagina, who was also at odds with the Sardinia Female Country.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"Itâs a win-win situation, Iâwait, my tail! Ah, shit! That hurts!"
Blair was about to say something when Fisher saw a wisp of smoke slowly rising behind him, along with the smell of something burnt.
Immediately after, Blairâs expression changed abruptly, and he leaped up from the ground, frantically slapping his own backside.
Fisher suddenly rememberedâjust before Ossie had barged into the room, this cat had been smoking. Ossie, with one flap of her wings, had overturned him along with the cigarette. Preoccupied with their conversation, Fisher hadnât noticed when the cigarette had dropped and burnt Blairâs backside.
"Rip~"
In front of them, Blair, covering his burning tail, began to hop on the spot, while his sister Alinur, overseen by Ossie, fared no better.
She had been suspended by Fisherâs Spinner, and either due to her weight or the material of her maid outfit, she ended up overstraining and breaking the Spinnerâs thread!
"Ugh! Wait, my clothes, wait..."
This sudden situation made the atmosphere in the room awkward. Fisher watched, speechless, as these two "special agents" from Miaâone clutching his burning tail and hopping everywhere, the other tearful and blushing while watching her clothes begin to disintegrate...
Why did it feel like cooperating with them wasnât reliable at all?
