Chapter 2234: I Am a Spy
I am what you call a spy!
Even if I was not good enough to infiltrate the Pantheon guild to learn of their secrets of becoming stronger, I can at least provide my guild with information about what is happening in Avalon. In fact, a lot of guilds are curious how Avalon became a prosperous territory despite being small in land area. I admit that it has the allure of a floating island which makes it a pristine date location inside the game, but I cannot admit that because I am single!
I refuse to accept it as a prime date spot as per the suggestion of a popular streamer that I follow. Just because you can frolic with your significant other in the rich floating islands with flowers does not mean it is good. To make matters worse, another island was just recently added, and it was basically a whole new world inside.
The island was strange as it hosted the Faekin that was the new race added in the game. I asked about how this happened but all the residents in this territory just answered that it is due to the territory lord. I know that Equinox is a great player since I closely follow the Pantheon guild's channel but why does he not have enough footage!
He rarely gets close to the camera as they said that he is a cold person in real life. All the other players say that, but I believe what the NPCs tell me about him. According to the NPCs here in Avalon, he has this aura of mystery but has a heart of gold. This is the reason why being a spy is important as you need to verify if your ido... another guild master is reasonable.
I come from a midsize guild that have a small territory that is not far from Avalon. We do not have any animosity towards Avalon or the Pantheon guild, but my guild master told me to learn what they are doing. This spy work if for the prosperity of our own territory which is why I am diligent in making reports.
Oh! It seems that there is a new offering in my favorite stall that sells Capricorn milk ice cream. What is this! How come there is honey flavor available now? It is traded from Neo Alfheim! This is something that should be noted in my secret spy journal.
The old woman that looks like an Arachne told me that the honey is being sold at the merchant guild. Who knew that the best ice cream makers are spider people? Maybe the way they spin that tub of ice cream is when they spin their webs on prey that they catch.
I headed towards the merchant guild to secure honey for spy purposes. I am not going to get it because I want the taste of honey and the healing effects that it provides. Also, the fact that the ice cream vendor lady told me that it is quite cheap as long as you get one while stocks last. It is not because honey cakes are my favorite dessert and that I have a chef friend that can cook it for me here.
I head towards the merchant guild via the dedicated portal. The buildings or structures in Avalon look small from the outside but inside are the secret. The doors are merely gateways for the dimension inside of the buildings. A lot of players actually wanted to have such features in their guild houses and such, but this technology is limited.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A Daemos that I have gotten quite the friendship with told me that one would need the permission of at least two elders to create spaces like that or the territory lord's approval. He also said that ordinary Daemos cannot do that spatial expansion as a slight mistake could make it explode or shrink instantly. Even demons have something like engineers and architects as per our discussion.
Back to the merchant guild, this place is being ran by a player which is quite a shock as there are currently only five players that hold a branch of the merchant guild. To have a branch of the merchant guild is not an easy feat because that merchant player would have to help build the territory or is heavily favored by the territory lord. They are also called the richest and most capable players in the world as they could buy or procure anything as long as the merchant guild has it.
I have never really seen the head of this merchant guild, but I am somewhat an acquaintance of a player that works here. He looks quite chubby and easily swindled which is why I helped him when one NPC was trying to rip him off. I do not know if we became friends yet but at least he always helps me when I am here.
"I am sorry, but the honey is already sold out." Piggy Bank stated.
No! My precious honey that I would savor every drop is gone. I guess this is the price I pay for being a great spy. I cannot get the items that I want when it is on sale. This is not the end! My friend, can you help me get a bottle? Maybe reserve it for me. I can even give you some advance payment and tips if you know what I mean.
"The next shipment would be in ten days and the amount is regulated since a lot of stores here in Avalon need them. Only the excess honey is being sold and there are not always extra." Piggy Bank replied as he cannot assure his acquaintance a bottle because he does not know if there will be extra.
I see. It is not that my heart is broken, my friend. If you just, please list the stalls that use the delicious honey then that is also fine by me. I will be back every ten days so please spare me at least one bottle.
"No worries. You helped me back then so that is fine. Just make sure to come back every ten days as I will sell that stock if you come back at the eleventh day." Piggy Bank stated.
My merchant friend was called to the back by a receptionist. I left the merchant guild hoping in another ten days and not knowing who the guild leader of the branch is. Nevertheless, I have secured the real goods that needs to be known. I need to try the stalls to check if the information given is to be trusted.
