Taking advantage of this buffer period during the temporary ceasefire between the east and west of the Fla Realm, it's important to seize the opportunity to engage in business cooperation with the Warm Fire Comrce Association, and extinguish the various fires of this world through comrcial ans—
This concept has only just begun to take shape in Andrew's mind.
How to do it specifically still requires discussing with the Warm Fire Comrce Association, and more importantly, understanding the actual market demands of this Fla Realm.
Indeed, this world clearly needs "less fire."
But how to specifically achieve this involves much intricacy.
At this mont, Andrew doesn't yet know how many astonishing new products he'll create with water magic at the Warm Fire Comrce Association, leaving the people of the Fla Realm in awe.
He is even less aware that the Warm Fire Comrce Association actually possesses sothing similar to a Fire Extinguishing Upgrade thod...
A top-level secret plan...
"Suddenly, I thought of sothing."
Andrew looked at Barbara at this mont, "Could it be that the sudden initiation of the Two-Fire War by the Magic Guild is due to more than just this so-called Year of Tribute?"
Regarding what Naros had ntioned before his death about the Year of Tribute, Andrew had, of course, also ntioned it to Barbara after she woke up. However, Barbara wasn't very clear about it either.
"Perhaps a more significant reason is that they feel threatened by the various businesses of your Warm Fire Comrce Association?"
After asking, Andrew carefully looked into Barbara's eyes.
Barbara shrugged indifferently and said, "That's definitely a major reason. Although I don't know if it's the main reason."
Andrew nodded.
He thought to himself that the businesses of the Warm Fire Comrce Association are indeed targeted at the Magic Guild and the problem of excessive flas in this world. This... is excellent!
Now that the Two-Fire War has ended, although both sides have temporarily ceased fighting, the conflicts between them have officially been brought to light.
It's predictable that the Warm Fire Comrce Association will surely not abandon its advantages.
That is: to continue using comrcial strategies to weaken the power of the Magic Guild.
Most likely, they will be even more involved than before!
Because anyway, both sides have already torn apart the façade, and there's no point hiding anything anymore.
So then...
In this situation—
What can I do as a Water Magic Lord, as a transmigrator committed to Fire Extinguishing Upgrade, as Fire Extinguishing Saint Son Andrew Xifa Lin?
Andrew felt there was so much he could do!!
Barbara said, "My father said he has sent soone to pick up.
What about you? Do you want to co with to Warm Fire City?"
Go!
Of course, go!
I must go!
This is how Andrew answered in his heart.
On the surface, he had to show so restraint, lifting his eyes to look at Barbara. Andrew smiled and said, "Is this a personal invitation from you?"
"It's a personal invitation," Barbara said plainly, her expression serious. "It is also a family invitation."
"Family invitation?" Andrew was stunned.
In terms of career developnt, he gradually beca familiar with the new profession and identity of "Magic Lord," switching Magic Power between "normal state" and "multiplied state" effortlessly.
When it ca to serving his subjects, he also fully adopted the mindset and awareness of an outstanding lord.
But politically, Andrew still didn't quite understand what it ant, as a lord, to communicate, interact, and negotiate cooperation with a formidable entity like the Warm Fire Comrce Association—
It ant everything was "official"!
And not subconsciously thinking it was "just visiting the family elders of a female friend"—it's not like that!
Barbara flipped her hand, revealing a small magic device of unknown use in her palm.
Barbara gently crushed it.
The next mont, light and flas danced around the room.
The flas, bright but not dazzling, instead giving a gentle, warm feeling, ford into words in mid-air—
It turned out to be a formal "invitation letter"!
The letter began with so polite formulaic greetings. It seems the format for writing letters is similar in any world.
This was followed by sincere thanks for Andrew saving Barbara's life more than once.
The last part of the letter was the invitation.
It invited Andrew and Barbara to et in Warm Fire City.
The signature read: Beru Water.
That is, Barbara's father, the current president of the Warm Fire Comrce Association.
"Uh... so formal?"
Andrew looked at the invitation letter before him.
Turning to Barbara: "So this is what you ntioned before, the 'Heart Net' of the Warm Fire Comrce Association?"
The Heart Net originates from the "Heart Fire Series Magic."
It is a magic guidance device left by the historically strongest Warm Fire Mage specializing in the Heart Fire Series.
Simply put, it's an otherworld version of the Internet.
What Barbara ntioned earlier, cutting off the connection between her and her family at the start of the Two-Fire War, was essentially the Magic Guild cutting off the "Heart Net."
In this regard alone, the Warm Fire Comrce Association still lags significantly compared to the Magic Guild.
Once the war starts, the opponent can directly cut off your net. How could you possibly fight like that?
"Yes, this is the 'Heart Net'," Barbara smiled. "But it's not fully reconnected yet; otherwise, not only texts but also voices and images could be transmitted directly."
"So, it's basically voice and video calls..."
"What?"
"Nothing... nothing," Andrew shook his head.
There was absolutely no doubt about accepting this formal invitation.
Andrew just felt... a weight on his shoulders.
Because this invitation letter—mainly its formal nature—reminded Andrew that he was not only invited as himself, Andrew, but also as a representative of all the inhabitants of the Wildfire Territory.
Accepting this invitation ant that he would represent the Wildfire Territory when accompanying Barbara to Warm Fire City.
He was representing a group when going to Warm Fire City, not just himself.
This was a feeling Andrew had never experienced before.
"What, you don't want to go with ?"
Seeing that Andrew hadn't responded for a while, Barbara thought he might have so difficulties.
"No, I really want to go."
Andrew smiled slightly.
He reached out to the end of that invitation letter, replying: It would be an honor.
The firelight flickered slightly.
The invitation letter hovering mid-air turned into a small flaming bird and swiftly disappeared into the void.
...
...
At the sa ti, on a battlefield sowhere in the Fla Realm, which had just concluded a battle, a tall figure clad in red and white armor seed to move slightly.
Then, from within the armor ca a deep yet sowhat lively male voice: "Oh? There's a reply!"
This battlefield was located on a plain.
The sky over the Inner Sea Desert was already dark, but here it wasn't completely black yet.
Under the twilight, one could see at the end of the plain, where it t the sky, a massive beast-like black fortress lying in wait.
This was the Super Fortress, Dragon's Nest, now seized and controlled by the Warm Fire Comrce Association!
