Chapter 386 Again In Search Of Information

After settling the matter of the notifications to some nobles and wealthy people in the province, Lothur spent some time on his estate finishing his vehicle.

He had already done the easier parts at the beginning of his work on this object, so the part he did this evening was one of the most difficult. But as he had everything planned, already had some formations, and his attributes were high, he managed to finish his vehicle more than a day in advance.

When Lothur finished, he did a little test to check that everything was working and not to embarrass himself during his presentation.

With this test, he noticed some problems but nothing serious. He had just forgotten minor details that would make a difference in drivability but were not crucial in his project.

Therefore, after writing down what he needed to do, he left to finish his vehicle the next day, then went to work on his other skills.

He still had to train his medical skills with Sofie, while he would have to train with Viktoria later before they went to bed. In this way, he could not settle these details that day.

...

The next day Lothur went on with his usual routine with Annaliese and Elke, but in the middle of the day, he went in search of Anneke to talk to this former teacher of his.

Upon meeting her, Lothur soon escorted this woman to her room in the local dormitory, where he continued with his previous advances to make this woman his.

However, he had not yet managed to 'get into this woman's clothes,' so nothing more serious had happened when they stopped.

"What do you want today? Or were you after me just to try to get your hands on my body?" Anneke asked Lothur while standing below him and with a smile on her face. "Maybe that's what it's about?" She showed him the letter she had received this morning.

Lothur quickly saw that such a letter was from the service he had hired the day before and was pleased that the store did its job so quickly.

"Also." He commented. "Do you intend to go? How about talking it over with someone powerful in your family? Some patriarchs will be at this event, so you can use this to attract your elders."

"Really? So you want to use me to get closer to my elders?" She asked.

"Obviously, I do." Lothur was direct. "Why wouldn't I use my contacts in the best possible way? And your family could gain a lot by allying with me."

Upon hearing this, Anneke smiled, sensing how confident this former student of hers was.

Even if Lothur was impressive, he was just a person who had limitations and would one day cease to exist. So, could he be so relevant to a millennial organization, as was the case with this family?

That is, as long as they were not careless and unlucky like the members of the Frost family, an organization like theirs would hardly cease to exist. As such, the Koch family was much bigger than Lothur, and Anneke could not help but smile at him for that.

"You are quite confident. Are you sure you'll be able to live up to expectations?" She questioned him.

"Of course, or I wouldn't commit to speaking to so many nobles at this event." He said, without explaining further since Anneke knew who those nobles were since she had helped him by referring some families to him.

Lothur did not know several of his guests. But he had invited them anyway because he wanted as many organizations as possible in his network of influence!

Hence, he depended on help, mainly from Anneke, who was part of a local organization focused on observation and the best information about local powers.

Anneke knew most of the people who could attend his event, which gave her enough to try to attract the interest of her family leaders.

Lothur's event could go wrong, but if it went right, it would be the beginning of the society of several organizations in Linn Province. And even if some of those powers were not so relevant, together, they would be enough to move the attention of the Koch family.

She then said. "I will see what I can do for you. But I won't promise anything. Perhaps I can only get the young lady of my family to attend such an occasion."

Lothur was already satisfied with that and said. "That will be enough."

"What else do you want to talk about?" She questioned him in curiosity.

"I was thinking of visiting the local Demon Hunters' Guild soon..." He commented as Anneke became more interested in what he had to say.

The local Demon Hunters' Guild was located inside the Seraphim Church, in the sacred temple of this city.

Since to become a demon hunter, one would have to join this institution, Anneke immediately thought that Lothur wanted to join this great organization.

The Church was highly acclaimed throughout the continent, holding the central faith of the population of Leopoldine and several other states on this continent. Because of this reality, this organization was very strict with its members, even for those who did not preach their faith.

Knowing this, she wanted to hear what kind of doubt he had this time.

"... I want to know if there is a possibility that this organization has information about those leaves that I am searching for." He stated his doubt.

"So that's what it's about..." She sighed as she realized he still wanted to go after something so dangerous. "Sigh, probably. The Church is one of the biggest institutions on the continent, so I doubt they don't have one piece of information or another."

"But accessing that information is not easy." She was honest. "I am not able to use my family's means to find out whether or not the Church has information about it."

"Then you will have to be part of the church to find out whether or not it can help you."

"Be part of the Church? I was just thinking about being a demon hunter." Lothur commented as he made a strange expression.

She laughed upon hearing this and said. "Demon hunters are external members of the Church, for the most part. But these external members only learn the basic techniques for eliminating demons. Thus, if you start this journey, you will probably have to join that organization as an internal member sooner or later."

"And only then will you gain access to the information you seek within such an organization."
