"You two, is something wrong? I remember that you have already exhausted the number of times you have asked me for answers this month."
On the second floor of the Elemental Stone Tower, in a meditation room lit with concentration incense, Anvis looked at the two players who came to the door, looking as polite and slightly distant as ever.
He remembered these two guys, they were members of the Guild Light and Shadow, a subsidiary of the White Light Club, and they were also two of the eight resistance members who sneaked in.
During this period of time, the two men had been secretly investigating information about him and the commander of the city guard.
"That's right, Your Excellency, in fact, we are here this time to tell you very important information, which is closely related to your safety!"
The two players secretly looked at each other, and in the end, it was the more powerful flying goldfish who spoke first.
"Any news related to my safety? Tell me."
Anvis raised his eyebrows, looking like he was aroused.
"Sorry, we will take a lot of risks by revealing this news, so we hope to get some rewards in advance."
On the other side, the dark elf mage Ling Zhangkong also spoke, but he directly asked for payment.
"award?"
Anvis was startled for a moment, and then his eyes became cold.
"Do you have the qualifications to bargain in front of me?"
As he spoke, a powerful coercion radiated from Anvis's body, pressing hard on the two of them.
A negative state called [Oppression] immediately appeared on the two people's panel information.
"Both of us are 'strangers'. With your wisdom, you should know that even if you kill us here, you won't be able to get any valuable clues."
Although his body began to tremble unconsciously, the words spoken by the flying goldfish did not mean any sign of submission.
"Cooperation between us is the choice that maximizes our interests!"
With the most cowardly attitude and the strongest words, there are only strange existences like players.
Since the emergence of players, the original hierarchical relationship between professionals has been seriously challenged. Facing the indigenous people who are stronger than themselves, many players still have their own way of doing things, without any respect.
Many high-level professionals have criticized this, believing that the presence of players has seriously challenged the original strict hierarchy among professionals.
But in the face of players who would not die and were very vindictive, most professionals finally chose to compromise. After all, no one wants to be constantly worried about by a group of enemies hiding in the dark.
"...Interesting, tell me. If your information is really valuable enough to me, then these will be yours."
After staring at the two for a long time, Anvis suddenly smiled again, took out two fourth-level magic accessories from the ring, and threw them directly to the two.
These two items he had previously taken out from the city lord's treasury in Dragon Shadow City. Although they were of no use to Anvis, it was just right to use equipment of this level as a reward when he was disguising his identity.
"Thank you for your generosity! We have just learned important news that the resistance organization [Spark] is about to attack this city, no later than the day after tomorrow!
At that time, the resistance forces are likely to have strong men of level 7 or above descending here, so you'd better prepare in advance."
Glancing at the jet-black magic pendant in his hand in surprise, the dark elf mage directly stated the "information" he had prepared, emphasizing the word "preparation" intentionally or unintentionally.
"The Spark Organization is about to attack this city?"
As the two players expected, Anvis frowned after hearing the news.
"Well, if this information is true, then he does have enough value, but how do you know?"
"This, because we..."
"Because we are strangers... naturally we have special intelligence channels that are unique to strangers!"
Just as Lingzhi Changkong was about to reveal his identity, the natural elf mage Flying Goldfish quickly took over the conversation and pushed the source of the information to his identity as a stranger.
"Okay... I understand. Apart from me, who else did you tell this news to?"
Looking at the nature elf with a half-smile, Anvis nodded and did not pursue the issue further.
"There is no one else, Lord Yinmo."
The flying goldfish shook his head, his tone serious.
"As soon as we obtained this information, we immediately came to share it with you. We have not told anyone else about this information yet."
"Then, why don't you report this news to His Highness the Prince? I'm afraid His Highness's reward will be richer than what I have here, right?"
After listening to the flying goldfish's words, Anvis asked casually.
"This is of course out of respect for you and to thank you for teaching us before..."
Habitually complimented a few words, and then in the cold eyes of Anvis, the flying goldfish quickly changed his words.
"If we report to the prince, although we may get a more generous reward, we will definitely be ordered to defend the city afterwards. We don't want to become one of the cannon fodder in a losing war, so we are just here to report the situation to you."
These words not only explained the reason for their concealment, but also pointed out to Anvis what consequences he would face if he reported to the prince privately.
After all, Avis's position as chief guest is essentially the same as theirs, except that it has greater rights.
After the two players said goodbye and left, Anvis sat quietly in the room, looking at a bronze magical construct headband in front of him.
This was sent by the person he placed in Spark. According to what the other party said, the operation will start at eight o'clock tomorrow evening, and the combat plan will be communicated and transmitted through the magic construct headband.
The two players actually don't know the news yet. For those ordinary members, the next step of the content can only be obtained thirty minutes before the plan starts.
Rubbing the cool surface of the headband, Anvis finally decided not to report it to the prince and pretended that he didn't know the news.
In fact, he is the son of destiny after all, and the Thirteenth Prince will not be defeated so easily.
In the prince's fate line, Anvis saw traces of the Glory Alliance. In other words, the prince had secretly joined the Glory Alliance at some point.
This invasion by the Spark Organization may cause some losses to Frost Lake City, but the prince himself will not be in much danger.
After all, although the Spark Organization is large in scale, if it spreads to the entire federation, its power will eventually be severely diluted.
As one of Starfire's main enemies, the Glory Alliance is not weaker than Starfire. It is no problem to send a seventh-level professional to protect the prince.
And when the war broke out, this wasn't what Avis was waiting for.
As for those two players, Avis happened to have a vague experimental idea.
The power of original sin will gradually erode the original sanity 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?
