Hexter made a suggestion to Terias. He wanted him to meet lady Alice and get him see for himself.
...
"I was looking forward to meet lady Alice." Terias replied happily, how could he miss the chance to have an audience with a beautiful noble lady.
"Very well then, let me guide you to that place." Roan offered to guide Terias as he stood up, gesturing Terias to follow him.
'Finally, the time to meet the important character has arrived.'
'With how proud the Viscount Hexter's claims sounded, the room must have some good things, only accessible to a few.'
As he was guided to another just after getting his artifact ring, he had several thoughts going in his brain.
...
From the grandeur expectations of the exclusive room to the possible members of that Noble's group.
He had already seen a lot of them in the event hall before and was curious to know the other participants of the group.
'Are the members of group and the members from the exclusive room same? Roan never said a thing about them being same. '
Terias had only heard that there's an exclusive room out there from Hexter's mouth.
Hexter did not even belong to the secret group. At least that's what Terias knew, as he fingered Hexter's sultry wife for the membership artifact of that group.
A noble would not consent to a humiliation like that, not someone proud and boastful like Hexter.
...
The exclusive room was across the main hall, he reached it together with Roan in an instant.
Not an utter of a word and they had reached the room's entrance. The door of the room was guarded by two warriors.
They let him and Roan enter the room as they recognised Roan.
As the door opened, he could see the same scene as of the main event. The tables were arranged in the same manner, the people were not engaging in anything different from the main event.
The only difference was a dim light of the room. The place had a theme of a dark secretive place, although the people were not really doing anything shady.
...
"Here, she is the gorgeous lady Alice."
Roan led Terias and greeted a beautiful blonde lady as the lady was seated on the chair graciously.
She had a skimpy dress on her, her curves leaked out tempting Terias to touch the lascivious body. Her abdominal muscles were toned giving her waist a sexy look. Her side boobs flashed out of her dress, she was a walking sin.
"And here my lady is, sir Terias the Viscount and a level three warrior, also our newest member of the group, Hike."
Roan made an introduction of both parties and finally introduced him to the name of the group he had joined, Hike.
"Ohh , sir Terias. It's rare for people such as you to be a part of our exclusive group. Very rare."
The second and third position of items being traded were occupied by artifacts and ki techniques.
Right, artifacts like his ring which showed texts and the books like the one Robert bought. These artifacts were readily available in the Hike and could be easily exchanged with the credits.
The lewd and carnal desire part for which Terias wanted to join the group was another matter all along.
These were the tasks from many anonymous people given to the members or even anonymous people too.
Since the anonymous members were familiar with the rules, they could pinpoint the members identity, accepting the task and had their fun.
'In the same manner Roan had known who would be accepting the task he had put up and had his fun with Daisy.'
Terias connected the events as they finally made sense. Roan was the one who put up the task and by offering some credits, he got to know the real identity of member.
...
Although members too had no chances of identity leaks but with some hints here and there, their identity could be guessed.
The same went for people from the anonymous level but in their case even getting hints was a difficult and costed lots of credits.
As for the ring like artifact he had got for the membership proof. He could put up his task for people to accept from that ring.
Although the ring did not work like a chat message, he had to reach a place like the exclusive room to connect to a main artifact where the task would be written down and spread.
These main artifact were available to the major events and there was no need to get suspiciously close to the artifact, the task could be put up from a few metres away.
...
The texts appearing on the artifact was only possible when the artifact from another member was made in contact, both shared the text or information.
The text about Daisy was only visible on his ring was because of the contact she had made with the artifact, leading to the shared details of the task she had accepted.
As the information dumping was finally completed, Terias returned to his default settings of admiring the beautiful ladies.
Albeit less in amount, the women present in the dimly lit room were more likely to be useful for him than the one in the main hall.
Except for Daisy, he did not feel like getting to know the other people and socialize.
...
The people of his interest were already available in the exclusive room, most of them had the possibility to have accepted tasks like Daisy.
'What am I supposed to do now? Shall I go around making contact with the people and try to connect with their membership artifact?'
'That would be very awkward to do and any member from the Hike would realise what I am doing and my real identity.' he sighed
'I need to act normal, have a small talk with and then maybe try activating my ring. If that works then good.'
Terias could not really think of any other way. As for why he was trying to do this? Well, he got a taste of Daisy and could not be satisfied with just her, he wanted more.
Alice and Roan were busy conversing with few others and he was naturally left out, having nothing better to do he decided give socializing a try.
