INK START FANTASY: Dream
CHAPTER 106: THE DEAL
Another place, outside the Onteral royal palace. Togay, Alice and the two elves were looking around the capital.
Jix, a well-known reporter in southeast Asia, decided to split up. He parted ways with the others in search of new news after being told by Dream, where Dream and IKILUA needed time to get out of where they were.
Jix has been told by Dream himself if he has come out and will give the video footage to be made news. That's why, right now there are only four of them here.
Unlike the holy kingdom of Lorena or the kingdom of Moscard, precisely the city of H'rden. The royal capital of Onteral is more like an out-bound playground with buildings made of wood.
Even every building that exists, there will always be a bouquet of flowers or even the flowers themselves that grow from plants that propagate in certain parts of the building. It adorns the type of building itself and makes it more beautiful to look at.
Not only were elf players seen going back and forth in every corner of the street, but several players with bestman races and even the human race could be seen. The elven NPCs looked no problem with the existence of players with the human race in their city.
It looks pretty strange to those who look at it. Their previous feud with the Moscard kingdom which was the human kingdom, made the dispute between elves and humans more intense.
It would be natural for the elves if they hated humans, but from this view, it seemed like they were fine with the players who had their race as humans. Then how do they know the difference between the players and the inhabitants of this world?
NPCs could not distinguish between players and their own race, it was different from players who could distinguish the green dot above the player's head. Do they see through the behavior of players who walk around arbitrarily or the behavior of players who are always looking for missions from the population?
Whatever it was, every elf in the royal capital of Onteral seemed fine meeting a human race. Some of them even chat with human race players, it was also done by Togay and Alice, who also played the game, they were not too troubled to talk to the inhabitants of the Onteral kingdom even though they had a human race on their character.
"Can we talk to Alice for a minute? and a friend from Dream?"
While they were enjoying the atmosphere of the royal capital, three people who had green dots on their heads approached Alice's entourage. The players asked politely to request Alice and Togay's time.
"what do you want to talk about?"
"oh... That emblem, you guys are from the Hygienic guild huh?"
Alice replies with Togay telling the background of the three players seen from the robe and logo on their left chest. The open palm emblem with four stars surrounding the palm, is the emblem of the Hygienic guild.
The high-profile guilds and guilds of players that ruled the Onteral kingdom. There was almost no rival at all to the guild of players who could rival the Hygienic guild in the Onteral Kingdom.
A very strong base for a guild of players without a single rival in a kingdom. Even the guild is quite a high role in the cause of the war between the Onteral kingdom and Moscard.
"Can we find a comfortable place to talk first?"
"lead the way"
After receiving Alice's approval, they moved to a more comfortable place to talk to each other. They chose a restaurant that is quite famous in the capital and a place that can be ordered in a private room so that nothing interferes.
"introduce us, as you already know, we are members of the Hygienic guild. My name is Nifelheim, deputy leader of the Hygienic guild. To my right is Orderon, the first captain of our assault division"
"i'm Orderon, the first captain of the Hygienic guild's assault division"
"on my left is Momuska, head of the development of the Hygienic guild"
"salam knows"
"i'll get straight to the point. We have news that one of the men who was with you received a direct invitation from the king and you who were with him entered the palace together"
The information that was obtained when no player could meet the elf king in his palace directly, made them unwilling to take action to seek the truth itself. Not playing around in the quest for such information, the number two person in the Higeinis guild did it directly.
"that's right, then?"
"as the guild that holds the highest power in the region, we want to know the way there is. Just say the cost, we will meet whatever price you offer"
As the number one guild in the Onteral kingdom, arrogant words and statements were issued by Nifelheim. As the second person in a large guild like him, his nature and actions were indeed natural with what he showed.
Hearing the statements and offers from Nifelheim, Alice's face twitched and looked irritated. What Nifelheim is showing right now, feels like degrading himself and those who are with him. Suddenly Togay's hand beckoned to Alice for her to respond.
"it doesn't matter for that, but the opportunities we get may not be in line with the way you think. The information provided will be your reason for not keeping to the words you just said"
Hearing Togay speak like that, Alice instead became annoyed at him. Togay was indeed a trader and the offer issued by Nifelheim was indeed profitable, but what does it have to be low just for money?
In contrast to what should have been a glimmer of pleasure, where Alice was unhappy with Togay's statement, Nigelheim and her two friends should have been pleased. Unfortunately, Togay's words were instead considered a provocation to their own statements.
There are many possibilities that can happen to players even in a meeting of a country leader. Just because one or two people can do that, not necessarily others can do the same.
This is also the meaning of the word Togay. The information they ask for can be provided by Togay, but a shadow of the possible ways they themselves cannot, he said, it would be the reason that Nifelheim himself would renege on his promise to pay for the information provided.
"what do you mean!?"
"don't demean our guild! if people like you could, you think we wouldn't be able to do that!?"
The two people who were on Nifelheim's side bitterly replied to Togay's words. They did not accept that they as the number one guild members in the Onteral Kingdom could not do the same with what they did.
But Nifelheim was the opposite of the two. He was not angry and provoked by Togay's words. He was currently thinking and pondering what Togay had said.
A person who became the vice-leader and advisor of the number one guild in this kingdom was indeed different. Various possibilities that there will always be thought of and not easily provoked by the words of his interlocutor.
"in that case, how much price does the information you offer for that information? I'll pay 50% upfront as your trust in this transaction"
"deputy leader!?"
"mr Nifelheim!"
Hearing Nifelheim's words, the two people who were with him were stunned. Their vice-leader relented and offered a more favorable bid against his deal opponent.
There are several things that are likely to happen, although one of them as described earlier, other unwanted things can be created. The loss of information provided from Togay where the result of that information seemed useless by them and the payment was given up although in part, it remained a loss on the part of Nifelheim.
There are still other losses that could have occurred, false and more useless information for those who have offered a price and paid half upfront. Both of these things will hurt them and could have been done by Togay.
Therefore, the two people beside Nifelheim who heard the other offers from Nifelheim itself and were more favorable to the other party, made them surprised. The results obtained may not benefit them at all.
"whatever information we get, hearing directly from the person who has done it will not be bad for us. I'm also sure they won't lie in telling the information in the deal"
Nifelheim explained to the two people beside him and the last words spoken, more confirmed to Togay's side.
