Chapter 108. Interesting Information.

Cinderielle and Verdantia waited in the room for a few minutes. In the meantime, Cinderielle asked Verdantia. "Is it really okay to ask right away? They have information about Tiantian."

Verdantia looked at Cinderielle and sighed. "There are plenty of ways for them to listen to us while we are inside the building. Try not to say any details, okay? Believe it or not, the way these information places gather most of the information is by people self-revealing their intentions when they think nobody is listening."

Cinderielle frowned. "That's quite... low."

Verdantia shrugged. "Anyone that comes here probably has intentions of learning secret information about someone or something. Them learning about that is also quite low, so getting information on them is not that morally wrong."

Cinderielle was stumped. What Verdantia said was the truth. Since they were here, investigating the movement and location of a few people and sects, it was "fair" if someone collected information about them.

Verdantia then proceeded to answer her question. "It is okay to ask in these places. Will our intentions be revealed? They will. However, it's not like the other person has anything to do with us. Moreover, Eldric is not a fan of places like these because of what you just said. Instead, he likes to use people to do his bidding by abusing his family's power."

Cinderielle frowned. "But Theodore is his lackey when he is from the Ironheart family. Isn't Ironheart quite a popular and strong family?"

Verdantia nodded. "They are. Theodore's grandfather is a really powerful general of a renowned power. However, Eldric's Stormrider family are suppliers of a mount called <Stormbird>. They are an E Rank creature, which is quite insane for a tamed monster. Even if taken from when they are an egg, E- Rank and above creatures have a natural resisting instinct, making them almost impossible to tame."

Verdantia leaned on the armrest and continued. "<Stormbird> is not only an E Rank monster that can become E+ if the talent is good enough but also intelligent enough to become a good war mount. Plus, they have ranged attacks. Even if they are not that effective, if the numbers are enough, they can do quite a lot of damage. Eldric's family has a famous <Storm Power Company> with around 150 riders. The average level of the monsters and riders is 18 or so. It's quite powerful."

Cinderielle nodded, thoughtful. "Level 18? Why does it sound low?"

Verdantia laughed. "Well, our World's average level is not that high, at around 9 or so."

Cinderielle snorted. "I am speaking about people of power, not counting civilians and such."

Verdantia pondered. "Hmm. That's difficult to answer. The numbers vary quite a lot depending on what source or power you look at. However, the average level of any renowned power hovers between Level 15 to Level 24."

Cinderielle was surprised. "Such a big difference?"

Verdantia smiled. "There are plenty of high levels. It's just that, in comparison, the Levels 25 and above are very rare. Level 25 is when the second Energy Cycle occurs. People who reach this level become much stronger. However, Energy Cycles are challenging to complete. Hence, not many manage to do it, getting stuck at levels before that, even when they have enough experience. Moreover, there is a very important detail I missed."

Cinderielle looked at her, and Verdantia commented. "Experience is a very limited resource. Killing other creatures is never effective in the long run. Eventually, you become too strong to gain experience from killing. And you need to be careful because if you kill creatures that are too weak, you will lose experience."

Cinderielle nodded with a thoughtful expression. "I see. Is this information for the entire world?"

Verdantia laughed. "How could that be? This is for those we have information on. Ceperet is quite extensive, Cinderielle. Who knows if there are monstrous entities roaming around?"

When Verdantia finished speaking, the man from the <Information Flower Garden> returned. Verdantia smiled mockingly. "What? Are you disappointed that you didn't hear anything interesting?"

The man smiled. "Not at all. It was very informative."

Cinderielle pointed at him and exclaimed. "Hey! You just admitted that you were sneakily listening to us!" Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

The man nodded and pointed at a small stack at his right. "However, this is connected to one of the Stormrider Heirs. It won't be cheap."

Verdantia frowned. "How much?"

"100 Tyn Coins."

Her frown deepened. "Information about him alone costs half of the location of an entire organization?"

The man smiled. "If anyone wants to buy information about your last actions, the price is much steeper, Miss Verdantia. Reaching into the dozens of Brens."

Cinderielle blinked. "What about me?"

The man looked at Cinderielle with a strange gaze. "We don't gather information about unknown people."

Hearing such an answer, her face became a bit reddish in embarrassment. "Right. My bad."

Verdantia raised her eyebrow, not believing him. That gaze was not one of puzzlement, but it was much more complex. Verdantia asked while looking at the information stack about Eldric. "What if I just want to buy what he is doing in this area?"

The man pondered. "I can lower the price to 30 Tyn Coins. However, you will miss essential information that might make a change in whatever Miss Liferoot is searching for."

Verdantia pondered for a while. 'Hm... While it is strange that he is in this place... Does it even matter much? 30 Tyn Coins is quite a lot of money...'

Cinderielle didn't say anything all this time. She didn't know what to say, and other than that, it was Verdantia who was spending quite a fortune for all this information. Seeing her struggling, she decided to comment. "Is it that unusual for him to be around here? I saw him take a caravan in this direction in the past."

Verdantia nodded. "That was because his stop was not in this city. He was going much further into the east, where the Stormbird Family's house is."

"So, what are you going to do, Miss Liferoot?"

Verdantia sighed and threw 30 Tyn Coins. "Take that. I'd rather be safe than sorry."

The man smiled. "I am sure you won't regret getting this information."

Verdantia rolled her eyes and opened the stack of documents, giving them a read. At the side, Cinderielle saw Verdantai's face go from skeptical to surprised to severe. Seeing her face, Cinderielle asked. "Was it worth it?"

Verdantia looked at Cinderielle deeply and back at the sentence she just read.

[In short, his overall objective is to find a Fire Sylvan he has met in the past. Intentions about what he will do with the Sylvan are unknown, but here are a few references of what he did in the past:

Capture and force...]

The green-haired woman smiled profoundly and said. "Well, it was worth it indeed."
