"Assassinating the Intis Republic Ambassador?"
Audrey, as an Spectator, couldn't control her emotions when she first heard the news, and asked in surprise.
Lex was also surprised, and at the same time thought, if the Dependents in Backlund was really Klein. Then, Fool is quite a romantic, how long has it been since he went to Backlund, and he has already provoked the Intis Ambassador, even to the point of assassinating him.
Compared to him, the things I've done are simply not worth mentioning.
Intis Ambassador.
The Iron and Blood Cross Order, which controls the Hunter Pathway, is in Intis. Would this Ambassador know the potion formula for the Hunter Pathway?
Hmm, I can take this mission, but after I go back, I'll first ask Osweld for information.
Their society should allow 'employees' to advance their payment, right?
"Who among you is willing to accept this mission?"
"What reward do you want?"
Klein looked around and said with the same relaxed attitude as before.
Miss Justice showed obvious hesitation at this time, but Hanged Man chuckled and said.
"I heard that this Ambassador Bakerland is also the head of the Intis Republic's intelligence in the Kingdom. He secretly supports bloody protests, plans some incidents that damage the relationship between nobles and wealthy people, and widely spreads rumors, inciting the public against the government."
"I don't know if this Ambassador is a Beyonder, but many clues indicate that he very likely is."
"He has many Beyonder with him, Beyonder belonging to the Intis intelligence agency, and this department has long been influenced by the former royal Sauron Family, controlling the early Sequences of the Hunter Pathway."
"Moreover, whether the two countries will go to war only depends on whether the upper echelons of both sides want to fight, and has nothing to do with the life or death of a diplomat."
Uh.
The Ambassador has Beyonder around him, and those Beyonder control the early Sequences of the Hunter Pathway?
Sequence 6 Conspirer is very likely also among those they control.
Hearing this news, Lex was quite moved and actively looked at the top of the bronze long table: "Mr. Fool, I want to take on this mission. If I succeed, then we can determine the reward."
Klein nodded slightly: "You may."
At the same time, he thought.
Chariot should have become active and proactive after hearing news related to the Hunter Pathway. He is very cautious and did not say that he would definitely complete it, but he did not seem to be timid.
This indicates that he has a certain amount of confidence.
He has only just been promoted to Sequence 7, so his confidence should not come from his own strength. Hmm, Chariot might have an organization supporting him in reality, behind the scenes.
Next, Justice and Hanged Man both accepted the mission.
The former hoped that the reward could be the 'Psychiatrist' formula, while the latter, like Lex, chose to accept the mission but would discuss the reward after success.
As for Sun, the young man from Silver City had never been able to integrate into this topic, and being in Silver City, he couldn't assassinate the Ambassador who was far away in Backlund.
He didn't even know where Backlund was!
After assigning the mission, Klein began to read the diary, and the palace once again fell into silence.
Lex let his thoughts wander, guessing whether a certain Great Emperor's social death scene would appear in the diary, and at the same time, he thought that he hadn't received a new diary for a long time.
I wonder if the Antiquities Protection Society has any, logically speaking, the Great Emperor's diary should also be a type of antiquity, right?
But what's more important now is to get specific information about that Intis Ambassador and his entourage. If Osweld refuses to provide it, then I will give up this mission.
Although I have the traveler's almanacs, I can travel between Backlund and Enki Town within three days, but if there is no specific intelligence, a rash assassination is too dangerous. Compared to the Conspirer's formula, the risks I have to bear clearly exceed the gains.
And even if I get specific information, when I arrive in Backlund, it will depend on the opportunity and situation. If allowed, I will act; if I am not confident, I would rather miss this opportunity.
As the saying goes, only by standing can you output, only by living can you have opportunities.
If I miss this time, there will be a next time.
But if I die once, I estimate, probably, possibly, I should not have a chance to revive.
After a moment, at the top of the bronze long table, that steady voice sounded: "You may now freely trade or communicate."
Lex was waiting for this part. He cleared his throat: "Everyone, who among you has the Conspirer potion formula or clues, and what kind of reward do you hope to get?"
Audrey immediately said: "I can help inquire, but there may not be a result. As for the reward, let's talk about it after I get the formula or know the clues."
Mr. Chariot seems to be a noble, his etiquette is impeccable, and he possesses gentlemanly demeanor. I think he is easier to get along with than others.
Especially compared to Mr. Hanged Man, hmph, last time this gentleman even wanted to make money from me using common sense!
However, the best is still Mr. Fool.
Mr. Fool is the best!
Justice secretly glanced at the figure at the top of the long table, then quickly withdrew her gaze.
Hanged Man remained silent this time, and at the same time couldn't help but think: I don't know the clues for Conspirer, but if I inquire, there should still be clues.
But why should I do this? This kid Chariot is already Sequence 7, and he must have mastered Acting. In that case, he will be promoted in half a year, no, or three months.
And I haven't finished digesting the potion for the current stage yet, so wouldn't he pull ahead of me? This is very disadvantageous for me!
Sun:
Well, it seems Mr. Hanged Man is wary of me now. Is it because I'm threatening him?
If I were to call out "Alger" now, would he be scared into losing control?
Forget it, I'm not such a petty person, I won't mind.
Lex looked at Mr. Fool at the top of the long table, wondering whether to use the accumulated rewards to exchange for a potion formula with Klein, but he didn't know if he had the Conspirer formula or clues in his possession.
Don't look at me, I don't know the Conspirer formula. What if Chariot proposes to exchange the previous rewards for a potion formula? I can't produce it. Oh, right, before I have the formula, I can use the excuse of 'unequal value' to delay or refuse.
Anyway, whether it's equal value or not is up to me to decide.
This is the advantage of being a platform!
Klein, shrouded in thick fog, used his Clown ability to control his expression, preventing the corners of his mouth from curling up.
But in the end, Lex still didn't make this request to Klein. After all, that was the future Lord of the Gods. It was not easy to accumulate a little 'reward' from him, so how could he squander it so easily. It was better to save it for critical moments in the future, such as requesting protection or something.
As for Conspirer, it's only Sequence 6. I believe there are other channels to obtain it.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Audrey looked at Sun diagonally opposite: "Can I exchange information about Dragons from you?"
"Yes, I want the Sequence 8 potion formula for the Bard Pathway." The silent Sun hesitated to reply.
Lex almost stood up and said, 'I have a way to get it,' because the Antiquities Protection Society's exchange list included this formula.
All the way up to Priest of Light!
However, as a gentleman, a true gentleman, how could I snatch a lady's trade, especially such a sunny, cheerful, and optimistic Miss Justice? I don't want to see her annoyed after I snatch it from her.
Although I can't see her anyway.
