Chapter 9 "The Sage" Fels
"War games?"
The elven girl's lips parted slightly; she never expected Roy to have this in mind.
In Orario, when the conflict between two clans becomes irreconcilable and war becomes unavoidable for various reasons, this kind of war with self-defined rules will be waged.
To put it simply, it's about two clans choosing a place to fight, with the winner taking all and plundering everything from the other, and even sending the other's god back to the heavens.
Ryu stared at Roy with her sky-blue eyes. "Do you have some misunderstanding about my abilities?"
Even if the Rudra clan is weak, it still has several hundred members. Is she fighting a war game against them all by herself? Is this revenge? Or just throwing her lives away?
Roy knew what the elven girl was worried about, and said calmly, "Don't worry about the combat strength. I'll have a way when it matters."
The transmigrator's greatest advantage is the information gap! With access to countless intelligence, finding help from others is incredibly easy for him.
If you really push him too far, you can just sell the Red-Eyed Rabbit to Freya ahead of time and let Freya's Familia take action. All ten Rudra Familias combined would be dead!
But the risk is too high. The allure of the goddess of beauty is not to be trifled with; he could be controlled in a single encounter. He didn't want to become a disgrace to transmigrators...
Liu felt like she was going crazy. Ever since she met Roy, she had been led by the nose the whole time.
"Believe me!"
Roy looked intently at the elven girl, his face devoid of any hint of joking, his voice deep and resonant.
Looking at Roy's serious face, Ryu felt a strong sense of loneliness emanating from him, as if no one in the whole world could understand her.
Having lost all her companions, she felt a deep sense of empathy.
The two were like orphans abandoned by the world, hiding in a dark corner, licking their wounds alone.
"All right."
The elven girl asked, "Then how can you guarantee they'll agree to the war game?"
"They'll definitely agree!"
Roy said confidently that, as a semi-entertainer, he knew the gods' character very well. The gods of Orario were divided into the Lawful and the Chaotic factions. The Lawful ones, needless to say, were willing to abide by the rules of the Netherworld and live peacefully.
The Chaos faction will only retain the most basic bottom line—not using divine power, and will do whatever it wants in other areas.
Ultimately, the Familias are just organizations established by the gods for their own amusement. The gods can decide the development direction of the Familias; some explore dungeons, some forge weapons, some like farming, and some like to be villains, deliberately going against the mainstream...
Roy couldn't believe that Rudra, the chief deity of the clan, could resist such an interesting opportunity.
Even if the other party held back, Roy had several backup plans, and there was always one that suited the Dark Familia baby's constitution.
"No one can die in war games."
"That's a war game with ordinary clans; the dark faction is a different matter."
The two exchanged questions and answers until, in the end, Ryu was speechless, realizing that Roy was not exaggerating. This young man knew extremely well about Orario's situation. Where did he get such detailed information?
The two chatted as they made their way to the guild headquarters.
Taking a shortcut, as they entered a narrow alley, the elven girl suddenly stopped. "Stop!"
Roy silently stepped back, shielding Ryu in front of him.
The elven girl's face was icy, her wary eyes fixed on a dark bend five meters ahead. She said coldly, "Hidden and showing your face, come out!"
A ghostly figure stood there, shrouded in a black robe, his hands clad in intricately patterned gloves, exuding mystery. "Swift Wind..."
Liu demanded, "Who are you?"
The man in black robes said in a low voice, "There's no need to investigate my identity. Information about the monster that appeared in the dungeon—Zagnat—must not be revealed to anyone. If you abide by the agreement, we'll let you go; otherwise, everyone who knows will die!"
Ryu's pupils contracted. Zagnat!
The man in black robes asked, "Do you understand?"
Liu frowned, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing. This didn't seem like the style of a dark faction. Was this someone from the guild?
"Cough! Cough!"
Roy coughed twice, interrupting the man in black. He couldn't stand it anymore; this old bastard was quite the actor.
The visitor was none other than "the Sage" Fels.
Roy chuckled, "Wait, are you threatening us? Or are you asking us to keep this a secret?"
Fels remained silent. He wanted to be assertive, but it was clear the other party wouldn't accept it.
Seeing Fels remain silent, Roy smiled.
As the administrators of Orario, the guild possesses numerous privileges, which attract attention. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of other forces and clans, it voluntarily relinquishes its military power.
Guild members have no divine favor; Fels is the only private soldier of the great god Uranus.
Out of respect for the "Sage's" magical prowess and Fels's LV.4 strength, Roy held them in high regard, but the other party was not qualified to threaten them!
Although he has lived for eight hundred years, Fels's ability value is fixed at LV.4. In a real fight, it is still uncertain whether he can defeat Ryu, who has been fighting for many years.
"Who are you……"
Fels finally noticed the boy behind the elven girl, who was nothing like any of the high-level adventurers he remembered. What was going on?
"My identity is unimportant. I'll ask you one more time: are you threatening us or begging us?" Roy seemed to have the other party's Achilles' heel.
The guild wanted to conceal the existence of Zagnat.
The conditions for the appearance of Zagnat are not complicated; just throw a few hundred explosives into the lower level and that's it.
With a weapon in hand, the desire to kill arises spontaneously!
If other adventurers knew this information, they would definitely try to kill their enemies. It's not hard to imagine how lively the dungeon would become in the future.
The guild must keep the news under wraps.
So when you ask someone for a favor, you need to have the right attitude!
Even if the great god Uranus chooses to take the risk and use the guild's connections to get other high-ranking members to come and control them, Roy and Ryu can shout in the street and the information about Zagnat will quickly spread throughout Orario.
They hold the initiative in this matter!
After a brief standoff, Fels finally gave in and said helplessly, "It's a request."
Roy grinned smugly. "You're a member of the guild, so even if it's a request, it's not unreasonable for us to make a small demand in exchange, is it?"
"What do you want?" Fels was stunned.
This was completely unexpected. Ryu suddenly went to the guild, and they were afraid that he was going there to reveal Zagnat's information to the public, so they rushed over to stop him. They didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
Watching the boy gradually corner the mysterious man and turn the tables, the elven girl gained a whole new appreciation for the boy's quick wit.
Roy gestured with his index finger and thumb and chuckled, "The guild will turn a blind eye to our next move and then give us a little favor."
