What makes the elf very regretful is that the pitiful 150 points of camp contribution in his hand can only be exchanged for a set of six bottles of the cheapest Olivendi health/mana potion on the list, or a bottle of Olivendi high life/mana potion.
After distributing the rewards, Anwes ordered the family guards present to protect the last dragonborn when he came to the imperial capital to continue his 'follow-up mission'.
As the main border defense corps of the royal family, even though the White Rose Corps has begun to decay internally, its remaining strength cannot be underestimated.
Anvis believes that after confirming the evidence of the White Rose Legion smuggling contraband, the family should be able to use this information to obtain a good price.
And for him who provided this handle, he will definitely receive a good reward.
"Dear Sir, I have one more thing and I hope to ask for your help."
However, somewhat to Anvis's surprise, the last dragonborn did not stop communicating, but took the opportunity to try to make a request to him.
"I hope you can help me investigate the whereabouts of a mercenary group called the 'Epee'.
As if worried that Anvis would not care about this, the elf added another sentence.
"Last time, they were the ones who transported secret materials for the White Rose Legion."
"'Epee' mercenary group?"
Anvis was startled for a moment.
I checked my memory and it's a name I've never heard of.
After thinking for a while, he adopted a standard NPC attitude that was business-like.
"Mr. Rivers, the value of your piece of information is not enough for me to use additional information from my family.
If you insist on investigating, then I will take back the magic ring I gave you as a reward."
Looking at his elf followers, Anvis calmly placed the choice in front of him.
"So, what's your choice?"
Facing the pale and mysterious noble boy in front of him, the last dragonborn instinctively rubbed the ring and fell into obvious hesitation.
After a moment, his gaze became firm again.
"Just do it, Sir Avis."
What surprised Anvis was that the elf finally decided to give up the Ring of Venn and chose to use the reward from this mission in exchange for information on the 'Epee' mercenary group.
He was very sure that none of the current accessories on the elves could match the effect of the Ring of Venn.
Different from ordinary games, the equipment in "Mysterious Era" has no hard level limit. Even if the player character is only level one, he can still equip level 90 equipment.
The only limitation is that when the gap between the character level and the equipment level is too large, the equipment's attributes cannot be fully utilized and can only be used in a small part.
"Can you tell me why you made this choice?"
After looking at the elf suspiciously, Anvis asked strangely.
With the player's character of not being able to do anything early, in order to investigate the whereabouts of a mercenary group, he would rather lose a high-level magic jewelry?
Could it be that this mercenary group is not only involved in smuggling, but also involves clues to some secret treasures?
"Actually, that's the case. After I accidentally got separated from the caravan..."
I don't know what Anvis is thinking, and the last dragonborn didn't hide anything from his inquiry.
He just briefly told how he accidentally got separated from the caravan, found a letter on the body of a dead woman on the roadside, and then decided to go to Manchenko Fort to investigate the situation.
Listening to the explanation of the last dragonborn, the expression on the face of the Olivendi family guard standing next to the elf gradually became complicated.
He felt that this strange elf was simply unreasonable.
He gave up a precious magic ring in exchange for the whereabouts of the family members of a deceased civilian he met on the roadside.
If it were him, he would never make such a 'stupid' choice.
"I see--"
On the other side of the crystal ball, Anvis looked at the blood-stained letters in the elf's hands and nodded with some understanding.
There are also many plot partisans among players, and he was one of them in his previous life.
Moreover, it is now in the closed beta period.
The value of a magic ring and the value of a piece of plot truth. Which is higher and which is lower, I’m afraid it’s hard to say.
"However, I heard that your strength is close to the sixth level?"
The conversation suddenly changed, Anvis's tone suddenly changed, and his blue eyes stared at the last dragonborn, as if he wanted to see right through him.
"Oh? Yes, Your Excellency..."
Facing the noble boy's suddenly oppressive gaze, the last dragonborn was stunned for a moment. He couldn't realize what was going on, so he could only follow his words and speak.
"Five and a half months? Haha..."
Anvis smiled inexplicably and spoke again.
"I don't care why you hide your strength, Rivers, that's your own business. Now, I can make an exception and give you a third option -"
Hidden strength?
The last dragonborn suddenly understood and thought he understood Anvis's thoughts.
According to this world's time, the day he became a follower of the noble boy in front of him was at the end of May.
At that time, he had just created his character, had not had time to do any tasks, and was only at level 1.
And now, relying on a hundred times the experience of the internal test, he has reached level 59, which is close to the sixth level of NPC strength.
In five months, he went from an ordinary person to a fifth-level peak professional.
This speed of upgrading, from the perspective of these 'NPCs', can only be explained by hiding their strength.
While the last dragonborn was thinking wildly, Anvis paused for a moment and thoughtfully gave his followers a short period of time to think.
After the elf digested the meaning of his words, Anvis continued to speak.
"I will help you investigate the whereabouts of the 'Epee' mercenary group, and that magic ring is still yours."
"However, as a price, I have a special task that I need you to perform."
In fact, this problem does not require the use of the family's intelligence agency.
All the family members need to do is ask them individually when negotiating with the White Rose Legion.
Considering that the closed beta period for players was almost over, Anvis decided to seize the time and put an experiment he had wanted to do for a long time on the agenda.
"I choose the third option. Dear Sir, what tasks do you need me to perform?"
The last dragonborn was overjoyed.
A new mission is coming! Maybe it’s a hidden mission!
This camp is awesome!
"Do not worry--"
Looking at the delighted elf, Anvis smiled gracefully and did not answer directly.
"The family guards will protect you as you go to the imperial capital. After meeting, I will tell you the specific mission information.
And before you arrive at the royal capital, I will send someone to investigate the whereabouts of that mercenary group.
No matter what their fate is, when you come to me, this matter will have a result."
