Chapter 13 The Middleman
Is this okay?
Helot couldn't help feeling that his father's network of relationships was a bit complicated.
He looked at the gray elf sitting on the ground in the prison and sent a message to the soul eater: "Master Laem is a prisoner in Dorothea. He seems to have committed a very serious crime. You Are you still on good terms with this gray elf?”
“I took on a lot of missions in order to level up quickly, and that’s how I met Master Laem. He is a senior member of the Azure Society. Provided him with information.”
Herot asked: "What is the Azure Society?"
The Soul Eater explained to Herot: "The undead camp is divided into two major factions, one is the undead, and the other is the creatures who believe in death. Azure The association is a secret organization of the Soul Sect. They have launched many rebellions in an attempt to obtain a territory belonging to the Soul Sect in the Land of Death.
This is of course not accepted by the Soul Sect, which has an absolute advantage. Therefore, all the rebellions of the Azure Society have failed, but their hidden power is still very strong, and the undead have been trying to eliminate them."
Helot couldn't help but marvel: "While you are serving the King of Sorrow, And pass information to the Zhanlan Association?”
“Yes, otherwise how can I maintain my level advantage?”
It requires both monster killing and various tasks. It is truly a "human liver".
Helot considered the doubts about receiving this mission and said to the soul eater: "Dorotea asked me to gain Laem's trust, but then threw me directly into prison. There should be other The purpose?"
"The main purpose of her asking you to complete this task is to test me and see if I have anything to do with the Zhanlan Association."
"What should I do? ?”
“Do whatever she asks you to do, and gain Laem’s trust first.”
Helot was a little puzzled: "If I gain Laem's trust easily, will it aggravate Dorothea's suspicion of you?"
"You have just entered the game, and you are not familiar with the situation here yet." Clearly. The Sorrowful King is facing decay, and the lords below him are all eyeing the position of the Seventh Governor. Dorothea must have wanted to get something from him when he caught Laem. br>This is a plot mission with great potential, and it is also related to the mission I gave you. There may be a big surprise.”
Helot thought of the invitation letter his father gave him. : "Is it the mission of No. 63, Tibia Street?"
"I have done some research on No. 63, Tibia Street. It is an important stronghold of the Zhanlan Association, and I can roughly guess why they invited me in the first place."
"Why?"
"The me at that time, and you now, should be the only living lord in the entire land of death. Let Laem see your ring of the old ruler, the azure knot society is exhausted I will try my best to win you over."
Helot couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you tell me these things when you gave me the invitation letter?"
"It would be much easier to know this. The joy of exploration. But now that you have come into contact with the turbulence shrouded in the rotten wasteland, I must let you know the environment you are in...
The Thousand-legged Earth Dragon has been refreshed!
I won’t talk to you anymore... Go home early and don’t wallow in here. ”
I don’t know who is addicted!
Helot closed the chat with his father and took out the token given by Monte. The token was in the shape of a shield, made of black unknown metal. There was a crack in the middle, with a row of eyeball-like things embedded in it.
Helot saw that there was such a crack on the prison door, so he put the token on it. >Suction came from the door and stuck the token tightly to it. With the clicking sound, circles of magic patterns spread, and the restrictions imposed on the door were opened layer by layer.
Helot pushed lightly and the door opened.
The gray elf, who noticed someone walking in, raised his head slightly, his eyes covered by messy hair revealing a cold gaze.
“Human?”
Helot walked to Laem and squatted down, whispering in his ear: “Brother, the Soul Eater.”
Unexpectedly, Laem yelled: "I don't know any soul eaters. Go tell Dorothea that you'd better kill me quickly, otherwise I will definitely capture the Scorched Earth City when I get out." He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the ring of the old ruler on his finger: "Brother, the Soul Eater."
Laem reminded: "There are bats everywhere here. Don't talk nonsense. I don't know the soul eaters at all."
Helot looked up and saw the top of the prison. Sure enough, there were a few little bats hanging upside down in the corner.
"The Marquis of Dorothea sent me to take care of you. You can tell me what you want to eat or what you want. As long as I don't let you go, I will try my best to satisfy you."
< br>Laem took a deep look at Herot's ring before saying, "What do I need to pay?"
Helot stared at Laem and said: "You just need to believe me."
Laem also stared at Helot, trying hard to see through his eyes his purpose and the food spirit What do you want to do?
After a while, Laem said: "Okay, if you let me believe you, I will believe you."
"Do you need me to do anything for you?"
< br>Raem said: "I want to read a book."
"What book? I'll prepare it."
""Logic of Death", "Introduction to the Soul" and "Basics of Summoning", read these three books first. Then prepare paper and pen for me. I am used to reading books while doing it. Notes."
Helot wrote down the names of the three books: "Okay, I'll look for them now."
Helot turned around and left the prison, closed the door, and took the order. Card, and then return to the main hall of the castle.
In the empty hall, Dorothea was still sitting on her high seat.
Before Herot could say anything, Dorothea waved her hand, and three books and some pens and papers flew into Herot's hands.
“You completed the task faster than I expected. It seems that the soul eater is more courageous than I thought, and he does know me very well.
The soul eater told Are you talking about the Azure Association?"
Helot replied: "I said something, the Azure Association is a group of rebels."
Dorotea nodded: "The gray elf Rae. Mu is one of the original founders of the Azure Society. Now that you have gained his trust, continue to help me keep an eye on him. You can satisfy him with whatever he wants.
Whatever he asks you to do, you have to tell me.
What I mean, do you understand? ”
At this moment, Helot has roughly understood his role.
Dorotea and Laem do not trust each other, so they need a middleman to serve as a bridge of communication between them. The soul eater who has friendship with both parties is undoubtedly the best candidate.
In this case... he can be ripped off.
Herot replied to Dorothea: "I understand, Lord Marquis. How much I tell you depends on how much you can give me."
Dorotea sneered: "You are blackmailing me. "?"
Helot said with a smile: "I should be cheaper than the soul eater."
Dorotea couldn't help but smile when she saw Herot carrying out the soul eater. With slight changes, the tone softened a lot: "What you said makes sense..."
