Chapter 707 Action
"Is there anything wrong, you two? I remember that you have already asked me for answers this month. You should have used up all the times you asked me for answers this month."
In the meditation room on the second floor of the Elemental Stone Tower, where incense was burning, Avis looked at the two players who came to him on their own initiative, and his expression was as polite and slightly distant as always.
He remembered these two guys, who were from the Light and Shadow Guild under the White Light Club, and were also two of the eight rebels who had sneaked in.
During this period, the two had been secretly investigating the news about him and the leader of the City Guard.
"That's right, Mr. Chief, in fact, we came here this time to tell you some very important information, which is closely related to your safety!"
The two players looked at each other secretly, and in the end, it was the stronger Flying Goldfish who spoke first.
"News related to my safety? Tell me."
Avis raised his eyebrows, looking interested.
"Sorry, we will take great risks if we reveal this news, so we hope to get some rewards in advance."
On the other side, the dark elf mage Yingji Changkong also spoke, but he asked for rewards directly.
"Reward?"
Anweiss was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became cold.
"You, do you have the qualifications to bargain in front of me?"
As he said, a strong pressure emanated from Anweiss, oppressing the two of them fiercely.
The negative state called [Oppression] immediately appeared on the panel information of the two.
"We are both 'foreigners'. With your wisdom, you should know that even if you kill us here, you can't get any valuable clues."
Although his body began to tremble unconsciously, the words spoken by the flying goldfish did not mean to be submissive.
"Cooperation between us is the choice to maximize benefits!"
Only players, such a strange existence, say the toughest words with the most cowardly attitude.
Since the appearance of players, the original class relationship between professionals has been seriously challenged. Facing the natives who were stronger than themselves, many players still acted as they pleased, without any respect.
Many high-level professionals complained about this, believing that the existence of players posed a serious challenge to the original strict hierarchy among professionals.
But facing the players who would not die and were particularly vindictive, most professionals finally chose to compromise. After all, no one wanted to be constantly remembered by a group of enemies hiding in the dark.
"...Interesting, tell me, if your information is really valuable enough to me, then these are yours."
After staring at the two for a long time, Avis suddenly smiled again, casually took out two fourth-level magic accessories from his ring, and threw them directly to the two.
These two pieces were taken out of the treasury of the city lord of Dragon Shadow City by him before. Although Avis thought they were useless, it was just right to use this level of equipment as a reward when he was disguising his identity.
"Thank you for your generosity! We just learned important news that the rebel organization [Spark] is about to attack this city, and the time will not be later than the day after tomorrow!
By then, it is very likely that a seventh-level or higher strongman will come here. You'd better prepare in advance."
Looking at the black magic pendant in his hand with surprise, the dark elf mage directly said the prepared "information", and at the same time intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the word "preparation".
"The Spark Organization is about to attack this city?"
As expected by the two players, after hearing this news, Avis frowned.
"Well, if this information is true, then it is indeed valuable enough, but how did you know it?"
"This, because we..."
"Because we are strangers... naturally we have our own special intelligence channels for strangers!"
Yingji Changkong was about to reveal his identity, and the natural elf mage Flying Goldfish quickly took over the conversation and pushed the source of the information to the identity of strangers.
"Okay... I understand. Who else did you tell this news to besides me?"
Looking at the natural elf with a half-smile, Avis nodded and did not continue to pursue the question.
"No one else, Lord Inmo."
The flying goldfish shook his head, his tone serious.
"As soon as we got this information, we immediately came to you to share it, and we haven't told anyone else about this news."
"Then why don't you report this news to His Royal Highness the Prince? His Highness's reward will probably be richer than mine, right?"
After listening to the words of the flying goldfish, Avis asked casually.
"Of course, this is out of respect for you, and to thank you for your previous teachings to us..."
After habitually flattering for a few words, the flying goldfish quickly changed its words in the cold eyes of Avis.
"If we report to the prince, we may get a more generous reward, but we will be ordered to defend the city afterwards. We don't want to be cannon fodder in a war that is bound to fail, so we just come to report the situation to you."
This not only explains why they concealed the news, but also points out to Avis what consequences he will face if he reports to the prince privately.
After all, Avis's position as the chief guest official is essentially no different from theirs, except that he has more power.
After the two players said goodbye and left, Avis sat quietly in the room, looking at a bronze magic construct headband in front of him.
This was sent by the person he had planted in the Spark. According to the other party, the operation will start at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, and the battle plan will be transmitted through the magic construct headband.
The two players actually didn't know the news yet. For those ordinary members, they could only get the next step thirty minutes before the plan started.
Stroking the cool surface of the headband, Avis finally decided not to report to the prince, just pretending not to know the news.
In fact, after all, he is a child of destiny, and the thirteenth prince will not be defeated so easily.
In the prince's fate line, Avis saw traces of the Glory Alliance. In other words, the prince had secretly joined the Glory Alliance at some point.
The invasion of the Spark Organization this time may cause certain losses to Frost Lake City, but the prince himself will not be in too much danger.
After all, although the Spark Organization is large in scale, if it spreads to the entire federation, its strength will eventually be severely diluted.
As one of the main enemies of the Spark, the Glory Alliance is not weaker than the Spark, and it is no problem to send a seventh-level professional to protect the prince.
And the outbreak of war was what Avis was waiting for.
As for the two players, Avis just had a vague idea for an experiment.
The power of original sin would gradually erode the original consciousness of the professional, causing the power user to eventually lose control.
However, what would happen if the carrier of the power of original sin was replaced by a player?
