Chapter XXVII: Tasks of Trade Unions
The royal power directly governs the lives of various intelligent races in the Beland Continent, but outside of the royal power, there are many huge organizations that are either overt or covert.
Organizations like the Church of Light and the Orc Sanctuary are almost huge existences beyond the royal power, such as the Mercenary Guild and the Wizards' Guild are special existences tied to the interests of the royal power, while the Assassin Guild and the Thieves' Guild are underground existences that do not take the royal power into account at all.
Just as countries send spies to each other, organizations do everything they can to plant their own infiltrators within other organizations in order to stay informed of the inside information and intelligence of their adversaries or allies.
Grand Mage Glorent is the head of the Intelligence Department of the Wizards' Guild, and major events and important information from the entire continent will be gathered to him as soon as possible.
The idea that Harry Sr. discussed with Arthur at that time was that since the reason for the assassination could not be found from the outside, he would obtain the information of the assassination commission directly from the Assassin Guild or the 'Curse' organization through the intelligence network in the hands of the Grand Mage of Glorent, and directly point to the client behind it.
Arthur thought of the difficulty, but he didn't expect the Grand Wizard of Glorent to refuse.
"Can you tell me the reason for the refusal? I can also give Archmage Halix a reply when I go back to the Academy. Arthur wanted to make a final attempt.
Glorent sighed softly, "I owe old Harry a favor before, but you can ask him for another one." Employer mandate information is a core secret of the Assassin Order, and your request is too dangerous for us in the Assassin Guild and the Divine Dispatch to infiltrate us. I can't put the guild's lurkers at risk of being exposed for the sake of returning my favors, and you can't imagine how much effort and money the Magicians' Guild will spend to install an infiltrator in a killer organization like 'God Sent'!"
Arthur whispered, "I understand your plight, and I shouldn't let other people who have nothing to do with this matter risk their lives because of my own affairs. Beyond that, isn't there any hope?"
Glorent groaned for a moment and said slowly, "There is hope, but for you, even old Harry, it is almost an impossible task. ”
Arthur's eyes lit up, "Please tell me, I won't give up even a little hope." ”
Glorent picked up a heavy magic book from the table and handed it to Arthur, "The Wizards' Guild is also an organization, and an organization has its interests. If an organization can reap greater benefits, it will naturally be willing to take certain risks. ”
Arthur opened the magic book, and the first page showed a piece of mission information, and Arthur looked up at Glorent with some confusion.
"If you can bring benefits to the Wizards' Guild, in exchange I can convert your reward into an intelligence-gathering mission of the same level, thus activating the Sleepers within the Assassins' Guild to complete this mission. The tasks entrusted to them in the Spellbook are the Guild's primary concern at the moment. ”
Arthur lowered his head and eagerly opened the spellbook, starting from the second page is the S-class mission, each page is a mission name, and a detailed description of the mission, location, and reward. S-Class missions include capturing a magical silver dragon, obtaining a liter of sap from the Elven Mother Tree "Dream Gaia", and searching for a Reincarnation Stone......
Arthur even saw a quest related to the dragon soul in it, and the overjoyed Arthur continued to read the quest description but asked for a complete dragon soul.
Arthur raised his head without tears, indeed as Glorent said, these tasks are not to say that for Arthur, even at the level of old Harry and Keno, it is impossible to complete.
"Since I owe old Harry a favor, I can make the Assassins' Guild's Intelligence-Gathering mission A-class, and you can do it as long as you can complete one of the Guild's A-Class missions. ”
Arthur flipped back again, the A-level quest was indeed easier, but it was only compared to the S-rank quest, such as going from capturing a magic silver dragon to collecting a dragon crystal for an adult dragon, and collecting totemic statues with the power of more than a thousand years of totems.
These tasks, while still very difficult, are no longer out of reach. For example, you don't have to hunt an adult dragon, and if you're lucky, you may be able to get a dragon crystal at auction for a lot of money. There are several totem statues in Arthur's bracelet, but they are only a few hundred years old, and only the orc tribes that have inherited them have been enshrined for more than a thousand years. Arthur at least saw hope.
"Do I need to take on the task now, like the Mercenary Guild?"
Glorent was slightly surprised, in his opinion, even the difficulty of an A-level mission was impossible for an intermediate magician, unless there was some hope for the elder Harry to take action himself.
Gl. Laurent continued: "Unless it is a unique task, you need to go to the task release area on the third floor to handle the task collection, and other tasks such as collecting dragon crystals and other tasks that have no limit, you can come directly to me with the task items to handle the task delivery. ”
Arthur bowed deeply to Glorent, "Thank you, Grand Mage, I'll come back to you when I'm done with my mission." ”
Glorent took the magic book to Arthur again, and said with a smile: "This magic task book is given to you, I hope to see you again!"
......
At the same time, inside another room of the Magic Tower.
A white-haired but childlike sorceress handed a leather map to Heidi, whom Arthur had seen earlier.
Heidi didn't open the map and put it away directly, but couldn't help muttering, "How can the Magician Guild still use such a primitive way, how convenient it is to use the magic map directly." ”
"You little girl still don't have a deep life, is it? Such an important thing is the safest only if it is preserved in the most primitive way, and it will not spread to everyone in an instant with the magic map?"
"Okay, I got it. Heidi playfully stuck out her tongue.
The sorceress looked at Heidi's appearance and suddenly sighed: "You are so young, beautiful, and so well qualified, why should you get involved? Once you choose the wrong thing, you will never have a chance to turn back." ”
The female magician's words touched Heidi's heart, and a touch of sadness appeared on Heidi's face, "Those of us magicians from civilian families, even if we don't have the support of cultivation resources, we won't be able to reach the height of the Great Magician in our lifetime, right?"
The female magician nodded, she also deeply understood the difficulty of the cultivation path of civilian magicians, between calm but mediocrity and adventure in exchange for achievement, everyone has their own choice.
"Great Mage, why did you choose to be on this side, shouldn't the Mage's Guild be more neutral?"
No matter what position she is in, she can't get rid of the pursuit of higher desires, and the sorceress smiled and shook her head, but did not say her choice.
The seemingly casual conversation between two women, an old man and a young woman, involved a huge storm that had begun to brew......
