The Queen Villainess Eavesdrops on My Heart and Won’t Let Me Slack Off – Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Anti-Azurevine Alliance

Beneath the vast ocean.
Amidst miraculous chanting, the giant active volcano, suppressed by divine power, transformed from violent to docile, and the tremors of the land gradually ceased.
“Praise our Lord.”
A Naga maiden with deep blue hair, pointed ears, a long snake tail, and a simple white dress, though extremely exhausted, showed a relieved expression.
Behind her, over a thousand Naga maiden priests, so tired they could no longer stand, shared the same relief and happiness.
Another volcano had been conquered by them. It would provide temperatures most suitable for the Naga’s reproduction and development, while also supplying the energy needed for the nascent city core.
What was meant to be released in an instant, creating a terrifying disaster, had, after domestication, become the cradle for the birth of undersea civilizations.
It was with this divine art bestowed by the Sea God that the Naga Empire had gradually risen in the barren seas, accumulating the strength to confront the Mermaid Sea Kingdom, and even now held the upper hand.
“Holy Maiden, Her Majesty is grateful for your efforts, but she also hopes you will take care of yourself.”
A magnificent knight riding a blue dragon approached the Naga maiden, pointing to the luxurious carriage behind him, pulled by eight seahorse knights.
Clearly, this was prepared specifically for her to rest.
“I still need to inspect the stability of the formation. The carriage can be given to those who truly need it…”
“Holy Maiden, that was bestowed to you by Her Majesty for your use…”
“Since it was bestowed to me, then I have the right to decide its use, don’t I?”
The Naga maiden winked playfully and beckoned to the choir of priests behind her, “Come quickly, Her Majesty has prepared a lot of delicious food and drinks for us~”
Given permission by the Holy Maiden, the ordinary priests joyfully entered the luxurious carriage, sharing the delicacies and delicacies, their laughter echoing.
The blue dragon knight looked on helplessly, “With you like this, I can’t report back…”
“Then, as always, don’t say anything, silly brother.”
“Alright… You’re the smart one, but you must take care of your body, understand?”
The blue dragon knight watched his sister, who, after finishing her prayers, was walking towards the volcano. He couldn’t help but sigh.
Knowing he couldn’t persuade her, he followed, lest she encounter danger by acting alone.
Their battle with the Mermaid Sea Kingdom was far from over.
And his sister, Nicole Qianxuan, the Holy Maiden of the Naga tribe, was a child chosen by the Sea God from birth.
Not only was her divine art talent a rarity of a millennium, but she was also the kindest and most stubborn of people.
She had always strived for the Naga and their vassal races to live better lives in the sea. Whether it was praising gods, expanding territory, or going to war with the Sea Kingdom, she was always at the forefront.
Although he, Sakrè, was also a talented individual among the younger generation of the Naga tribe, serving as the Palace Guard Captain at twenty-five, he was utterly helpless against his sister, other than joining her in her antics.
Suddenly, Nicole stopped, closed her eyes as if sensing something:
“Our Lord has a new command… He requires detailed information about the Azurevine Empire, and we will receive reinforcements from the surface…”
Sakrè frowned, “The Azurevine Empire? Matters on the surface are always troublesome. We don’t border them…”
“Then we’ll get a breakthrough for landing from the Mermaids.”
Nicole suddenly opened her eyes, a murderous intent flashing.
The rise of the Naga was inseparable from the Sea God’s favor.
Without the divine art she bestowed, the erupting volcanoes would not have been their aid but would have pushed them towards destruction.
This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. For the better continuation of her own race.
Nicole was kind, but she had no superfluous kindness to spare for their ancient and powerful neighbors in the sea.

…

Kamsak Desert, Orc Kingdom.
In Skrena City, the temple of the Goddess of War, after new expansion and renovation, appeared even more magnificent.
Tasika inherited the authority of Old Josda and had been rallying the orcs as the human spokesperson for the Goddess of War.
Although a scene where “Tebela, a mere mortal, is unbelievable” would surely play out later, it wasn’t time for that yet. The temples that needed renovation still had to be renovated.
Faith, when used reasonably, was an efficient tool. By praising our Lord together, it was easy to build good relationships with devout believers and fanatics, and their favorability would soar.
Therefore, before completely controlling the Orc Kingdom, Tasika was a fervent believer of the Goddess of War and had to show the goddess the highest respect.
This respect, when sensed by Tebela, was quite gratifying.
Due to the tense war, she hadn’t paid much attention to the Eternal Night World. By the time she looked again, she found Old Josda had inexplicably disappeared.
However, the previously scattered Orc Kingdom had been unified.
The current Orc Empress, Tasika, seemed like a very pure and kind young girl, devout in her faith, and managed the country well. This made Tebela very pleased.
Pure and kind meant easy to manipulate, and a well-managed kingdom meant an increase in population and believers.
For a “hands-off” church, what better news could there be?
It was like logging in after half a year and suddenly seeing a pile of return rewards.
So, the Goddess of War bestowed more divine arts upon Tasika, and the grand cathedral in Skrena City was endowed with various divine functions that could promote the faster development of the Orc Kingdom.
At the same time, she also bestowed upon Tasika a quasi-divine artifact called the “Hyper-Dimensional Canvas.”
[Hyper-Dimensional Canvas: This canvas can infinitely replicate itself. Within the same plane, anything left on the canvas by its holder can be synchronized to the main body and its duplicates.]
The Goddess of War’s intention in giving Tasika this artifact was to facilitate her contact with the Holy Maiden of the Naga tribe, and to gather other strong individuals and rulers in this world who were dissatisfied with the Azurevine Empire.
“The God of Knowledge’s pawn is useless. Perform well. When the eyes of all gods turn towards you, perhaps the orcs will become the biggest winners.”
Tebela began to paint a rosy picture for Tasika.
With the Hyper-Dimensional Canvas in hand, and establishing the “Anti-Azurevine Alliance,” as long as Tasika performed well, when the Eternal Night World was restored, Tebela would receive even greater benefits.
This was continuing to lay the groundwork after Shady had failed to play the game properly.
Tebela felt Tasika had great potential.
This queen seemed so pure and well-behaved. She would surely gain the trust of those rulers.
And with her help, they would be given a big surprise, all benefits returning to the Goddess of War!
A beautiful plan, the future is promising!
After personally communicating with Tasika and bestowing the Hyper-Dimensional Canvas, the Goddess of War believed she had gained 150% loyalty from this Orc Queen. She withdrew her consciousness to conquer other planes that needed to be occupied with her small alliance.
Meanwhile, the “well-behaved and pure” Tasika, after receiving the goddess’s favor, immediately logged into the Magician’s Camp and left all the details in a message for Roger.
Roger was also surprised and delighted to see Tasika’s message.
Who could have imagined that the pawn he had placed in the Orc Kingdom would yield unexpected gains!
Given Tebela’s personality, bestowing such benefits upon Tasika meant she was prepared to fully support the Orc Kingdom’s growth.
The church’s resources could help the Terra Kingdom quickly establish a foothold in the desert, leading to faster development.
The Hyper-Dimensional Canvas was a group chat tool, kind of like one with a picture-sharing function—
Except you had to draw the pictures yourself, which could lead to awkward situations where “you draw something I can’t guess.”
But undeniably, even in the Magical World, it was a discreet, cost-free, and convenient communication tool, which was extremely precious.
Tebela’s plan was good, but unfortunately, Tasika was his person.
She was a strategic partner who firmly supported the Azurevine Empire. And Tebela wanted her to establish an Anti-Azurevine Alliance?
Was she kidding him?
“Remember to give me a copy of the canvas later,” Roger said, stifling a laugh, preparing to begin his undercover operation.
Translate, translate, what is called a surprise!
It was a shame he couldn’t let Tebela know immediately and appreciate her wonderful expression.
Shortly after he sent his message, Tasika logged into the private space for the two of them in the Magician’s Camp.
It was likely that this Orc Queen had been waiting for the news all night to log in so quickly.
Seeing Roger, Tasika could no longer hide her smile. She said happily, “Lord, shall I send someone to deliver the original canvas to you?”
“Uh… that’s not necessary. I trust you to manage this alliance,” Roger replied with a smile, avoiding her head and rubbing her small head.
Her hair was very soft, but her horns would scratch the hand. Even though it was a mental space, one could still bleed.
“Then I’ll listen to your arrangements, Lord.” Tasika took out a virtual canvas and handed it to Roger.
The copies of the Hyper-Dimensional Canvas existed between the virtual and real, not requiring physical contact. Similar to many magical communication and teleportation methods, they could be sent to a target approved by the owner.
This was why Roger found the item so convenient.
“Oh, right, give me another one. I’ll send it to the Secret Magic Society for analysis,” Roger said, tapping his forehead. He was sure Frankenstein, being a mechanical girl, would be interested in such a novel artifact.
The mechanical girl had always helped him in many ways. Giving her a small toy was perfectly fine.
“No problem.”
Tasika didn’t mind giving away the original, so she certainly wouldn’t refuse such a small request.
Roger and Tasika chatted further about the future landscape of the Eternal Night World.
Tasika was quite worried about the consequences that might arise if the gods’ gaze fell upon the Eternal Night World.
“Don’t worry, the empire is prepared,” Roger said. He knew well that if their world were occupied by the Seven Gods, the only outcome would be its destruction and reduction to void.
However, there was no need to tell Tasika this news yet. Let her happily build her kingdom and contribute her strength when needed.
“Moreover, with the Goddess of War now fully supporting you, I’ve thought of a way to accelerate the development of the Terra Kingdom,” Roger said with a wicked grin, recalling some maneuvers and explaining them to the half-dragon princess.
“Using other people’s money to build my kingdom? Isn’t that being a scammer?” Tasika nervously rubbed her small hands.
“Nonsense, this is clearly finance,” Roger said righteously and confidently. “Just do as I say. No one will call you a scammer then; they’ll just wave their gold coins and cry out to join you.”

…
…

While chatting with Tasika, Roger himself was in the Astral Plane, supervising a cute boy to complete his daily quota.
The main body of the Magician’s Camp, the Eris Worm, was called Afu by Shady, and later the Empress of Eternal Night also jokingly sealed this name for the little guy…
It was currently the annual season of lush grass and blooming flowers, the revival of all cicadas… or rather, the mating season for Eris Worms.
Afu had to use his great power and charm to sing constantly in the Astral Plane to attract enough Eris Worms for the empire.
For monsters, strength was the golden standard for choosing a mate.
With the activeness of the Magician’s Camp, the increase in users and market activity, and the continuous flow of rich and high-quality emotions, Afu’s growth rate was more than ten thousand times faster than other magic pets.
This led to a transformation in his strength. With just a flap of his wings and a call, he could emit a silent signal that attracted countless female Eris Worms towards him.
And these female worms, guided by the Secret Magic Society, would in turn attract more male worms.
Although Eris Worms were precious and rare, the Astral Plane was vast, so their absolute numbers were still high.
Afu was now unprecedentedly powerful among his kind, and his attraction naturally radiated over an extremely wide range.
Unknowingly, the empire had successfully captured over two hundred Eris Worms.
This result was pleasing, so Afu’s daily task became even more arduous. He had to sing for three hours every day in the Astral Plane before the mating season passed.
Roger and the Empress of Eternal Night took turns supervising.
Afu felt bitter, Afu didn’t want to sing.
But if he didn’t attract enough Eris Worms, the Empress of Eternal Night would force him to have intimate contact with his already disliked clan sisters. Compared to that, he still chose to sing.
The empire currently needed enough Eris Worms to support Roger’s planned “Universal Internet Access” initiative.
Even though Afu’s strength and intelligence had surpassed their previous levels, he could not bear the thoughts of four hundred million people.
However, the changes in him were also very interesting.
Through long-term observation and comparative research by the Secret Magic Society, it was finally confirmed that Afu’s growth model, which absorbed emotions and beliefs, was close to the most original form of totem worship.
If he continued to develop, there was a possibility of igniting divinity.
Of course, that step would require true believers to immerse themselves in the mental space he constructed and provide him with more Faith Power.
But… this was not impossible.
On the other hand, as his own strength grew and having witnessed countless emotions, Afu, in his ignorance, awakened his sentience and rapidly matured.
In the early stages of intelligence development, the degree of development and the amount of information encountered were the most critical variables. Differences in inherent components were more indicative of the upper limit.
Backed by the Magician’s Camp, in a short period, Afu gained knowledge close to that of an adult in the empire, and cultivated a rather unique aesthetic:
He liked wearing dresses, accessorizing, and coupled with his cute appearance and petite figure, at first glance, he looked no different from a girl…
This was probably the strange meaning of the name Afu.
However, even after awakening his sentience, the duties he needed to fulfill still had to be carried out.
The operation of the Magician’s Camp was basically stable and was being spearheaded by Frankenstein herself. They had successfully developed essential equipment that allowed non-spell casters to log into the Magician’s Camp, the Soul Mimic Bracelet.
Through the Soul Mimic Bracelet, spiritual power provided by spell casters could be replaced, allowing ordinary people to enjoy the convenience brought by the Magician’s Camp.
The mental virtual space, which would be accessible to the broader populace of the empire, would be named the “Fearless Space.”
“To enter is to pledge loyalty to Her Majesty the Empress of Eternal Night and fear no enemies in the world.”
This was the name jointly discussed by the cabinet and the Secret Magic Society. The small-scale trial run showed encouraging results, greatly stimulating the initial interest of the empire’s citizens in logging in.
Whenever Roger saw this name, he would instinctively picture the Empress of Eternal Night wearing armor and saying in a strange imperial accent, “If you’re loyal enough, come see me.”
Some videos were truly brainwashing; one viewing was unforgettable for a lifetime.
As Roger was chatting with Afu, the Empress of Eternal Night teleported in, grabbed Roger, and teleported again, “It’s time. We’re setting sail to explore the Source Sea again!”
Yes, the empire had now discovered the location of the Source Sea and made some gains.
All of this began when Aisly Newton entered the Sky Sea Tower.
