Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth intelligence trafficker
Elite adventurers related to the forces in the North, the incarnation of the Lord God of the Abyss, and the sudden arrival of the Holy Knights, are even prepared to die generously... It may be a coincidence that an accidental factor appears in this city, but if many
It would be too naive to put all the information together and treat it as a coincidence.
But if we need information, there is no other organization in the world that can compare to the little goblin in front of me. My alliance with them is deep-rooted...
"This is my diamond VIP customer card. I need the latest local information. Well, not only this plane, but also the recent important news in the abyss."
Seeing the VIP card I showed, the little goblin in front of me quickly led me into the store. Inside, little goblins wearing small dresses and red critical figures were running around. They were no different from their kin in the main plane.
the difference.
The manager who received me took my card and ran away. After a few minutes, he came back with a serious face.
"...Sorry, your unlimited information free subscription has expired and your diamond VIP qualification has been cancelled. Now you are only a gold level one user."
I was stunned, but Heloise smiled.
"It's really a solid alliance. How does it feel to be burned by others?"
"...This is indeed a distant relative of the goblin (Kouhu). The bridge has begun to be demolished before the river has even been crossed."
Over a long period of time, probably since I returned to the North, the goblins have established an alliance with me and sent me this VIP card representing the support of the infinite intelligence network.
Although I don’t really trust these intelligence organizations that come to my doorstep, I don’t need to use them for free. Time has proven that their intelligence accuracy and dissemination speed are far superior to other intelligence organizations. We naturally established a long-term cooperative alliance.
relation.
"Although you are no longer our diamond member, we can still provide you with information below SSS level. Compared with other users, we will give you a 30% discount on the price."
Yes, I have made it clear for this reason that the free trial period has ended. If you want to continue to receive the service, please top up.
Looking at this dark-skinned little guy, I feel more and more that he is related to goblins. He is also specialized in deceiving people. When you don’t need it, you will be flooded with his advertisements and various free offers. When you need it,
, the price suddenly increased.
"Your Highness, please don't think that we are targeting you. Your Golden Three-Star is still the highest-level service target. It's just that the headquarters cleaned up all diamond customers some time ago. Now there are no diamond customers who can get free services.
"
"Some time ago? How long ago?"
"Five years ago."
Well, it seems that I am not the only one who has expired. Everyone's promotional trial period has ended, and now everyone has to be charged.
Judging from the time, it was probably after the underworld was completely stabilized, and it was probably when the holy war averted the doomed destruction. Thinking about it this way, the goblins really felt like they were burning bridges.
"Can I use spirit coins?".
"Okay, this is the hard currency from the lower plane, we all accept it."
However, even if the goblins charge a fee, I personally don't care. Anyway, I feel a little disgusted holding those spirit coins that deceive the dwarves.
Now that I heard they started charging, I secretly decided to patronize more in the future.
After all, for me, free services make people even more uneasy.
It’s not that I have any quirks, it’s just that the world is so difficult, and there seems to be nothing free except bait and traps. Free things inevitably make people want more.
Even if they sincerely help, the favor they owe is more difficult to repay than a monetary transaction. If these little guys ask you to repay the equal price in the future, it will be very troublesome.
If there were other motives and positions, even if the previous information was accurate, the key information might be wrong that time.
I have always been wary of these little guys who don't know their roots. Intelligence organizations are always my own. Relying on others will sooner or later lead to big problems. Most of the time, I just use their intelligence to confirm my own intelligence sources.
But now in the Abyss and Northland, the intelligence organization of the Law Church obviously cannot be counted on and can only rely on these ubiquitous goblins.
Throwing out the spirit coins, watching the surveillance and sipping tea, their work ability was as good as ever. In less than half an hour, my desktop was filled with key information from all walks of life.
And Heloise's clone has also arrived at the Dragon Tail Tavern, telling me that Adam and the others have actually arrived, which already surprised me a bit, but she mysteriously said that there was another surprise waiting for me.
According to my many years of understanding of this scam, this surprise is probably a death scare. Considering the recent increasingly terrible luck, I asked Heloise to find a way to contact the more reliable Margaret.
, I also bought an extra escape channel from the goblins...
As for the golden customers who are willing to give money, the fairies are very kind.
But the first piece of information gave me a head-on blow...
"A certain half-dragon who ranks among the top ten in the list of natural disasters committed another crime on the main plane, causing public outrage. He was hunted down by dozens of gods and demigods, and now he has disappeared without a trace."
Well, there is a certain half-dragon who is among the top ten in the natural disaster list. I am really stupid not to know who he is, but another piece of information told me that he recently appeared in the abyss...
"What did he do that would make the gods form a group to kill him... Forget it, don't tell me, I don't want to know at all."
Lying on the soft sofa, I was calculating the probability of meeting that guy by chance. Considering the size of the abyss, this should have been an astronomical number, but considering my luck... I still bought another escape.
It's simply too embarrassing to be implicated in someone else's death due to the intelligence from the channel.
There was a lot of information in front of me. Heloise and I looked through it separately. The information that was obviously useful was not so easy to find. I just wrote it all down first. I didn't know when I would be able to use it. Many of them seemed to be just gossip.
Any gossip may reveal important information.
As expected, there was no information about Cavens that I valued most. It just said that he suddenly appeared and killed the unlucky devil king. It was no different from the simple reports in the newspapers.
When you reach the level of a god, even the omnipresent goblins find it difficult to collect useful information.
However, in addition to buying information, I also asked the goblins for help with some trivial matters.
"Two letters, one to the Law Church and one to the Southern Sect."
Since you agreed to the snake god and received a reward, being loyal to others is also fulfilling your promise.
Originally, I had better channels to communicate with the gods on the underworld side... But when I think about the hated undead emperor still occupying my little world, and considering her god-level combat power, I
Now I can only tolerate it a little bit.
"...When we have enough powerful teammates, we will open a copy of the Undead Emperor!"
The second thing is to collect various epic materials and related information through the goblin organization. Although I don't have high expectations, if I put out a large bounty, I might be able to gain something.
"Concepts related to the concentration and dispersion of light, concepts related to pure negative emotions such as pain and despair, top-level materials of the ice type, it seems that you are about to enter the epic level... Your Highness Roland, with all due respect, except for the last one
It is very difficult to find other ice-based materials, and for ice-based materials, what we can find may not be as good as yours."
"Just do your best."
I nodded, this was within the expected range. If all problems could be solved by spending money, there wouldn't be so many unlucky people stuck below the epic level all their lives.
The precious materials that can be used as the core of "epic weapons" are treasures pursued by various epics, saints and even demigods. If they are lucky enough to obtain them, they will not use them themselves and will not take them out casually to strengthen the opponents they may encounter.
A powerful existence that has reached this point is rarely short of money. Bartering for one's necessities is the most common choice. However, considering the scarcity of materials and the distrust between both parties, even if both parties have the opposite of the transaction,
The final successful trading volume was also extremely low.
"By the way, help me find information about this team."
What is shown in the memory ball is Casio's adventure team. Since the members are not bad, they should have some reputation.
But this time, the little goblin named Didi was silent.
"…need to add money?"
"No, just the information about this team's appearance in this city will cost you money. But this time, they really caused big trouble, super big trouble, and we don't want to get involved at all... As long as
If you are willing to solve this trouble, all the information this time will be given to you for free."
"Don't say it, I suddenly don't want to know at all!" (To be continued...)
