Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3779

"Hehehe~ Welcome, dear fairies~"

A golden-robed man with a sly smile appeared in front of Evelynn and Zenova. The smile he flashed was full of greed, as though imagining the future he was going to be swimming in crystals. It was very apparent in the way he acted before gesturing for them to come in.

Evelynn and Zenova Artoria followed him inside, not bothered about the way this man acted.

He likely realized their regal auras and thought they were big customers as they were still Emperor-Tier and King-Tier, respectively. However, Evelynn concealed her aura well as Emperor-Tier was still supposed to be a big thing.

The other Monarchs in the hall, who appeared to be attendants or information salesmen, looked all vexed. It seems it wasn't their chance to welcome the customer. They looked as though the golden-robed man killed their mother.

Nonetheless, they were taken to a private room and treated to a lot of delicacies and refreshments, but they didn't reach out to the table, and they continued to sit motionless on the couch.

"Beautiful fairies, may I know what kind of information you are looking for? We have information on anything you may want, perhaps even on your own long-lost ancestor or the descendant you never knew you had, so don't feel shy to ask us. Even if we do not have the information, we will research and find what you want for the right price. Our intelligence services are always one hundred percent the best!"

The golden-robed man, displaying his teeth. There were even a pair of golden canine teeth within.

This, along with some other features of his face and the rather obvious gold-spotted tail wagging behind him, indicated he was from the Goldblade White Tiger Clan or, at least, had its blood within him.

Evelynn had heard about the Goldblade White Tiger Clan. It also exists in the First Haven World but not as a Candidacy power, and their numbers were low. They were said to be a nimble yet brave clan, although here, this man with their blood seemed to be a sly salesman.

"I want information on this city, from its establishment to the current year, in a detailed account."

"Ah, there are many people who request such information. Are the fairies here to sightsee or contact a person of importance? In that case, I can also point to a service that would make you much obliged. If not, I'll get the information you require instantly. Is there anything else?"

The golden-robed man lowered his head and spoke, appearing very accommodating.

"Yes,"

Zenova Artoria kept smiling behind her veil.

She listed a bunch of things she needed info on.

It made the golden-robed man smile zealously, but the more he heard, the more his expression began to churn. The smile left his face, and his jaws suddenly began to sink because the amount of information requested was going to make him overworked.

His dream of getting easy money failed.

"Very well. Please wait here or send an address. I will deliver the information you requested within a day."

"Half a day or less. I will pay you an extra twenty percent, which you can pocket."

"Ah, Fairy Sovereign is too generous. I will do my best to bring it within half a day."

The golden-robed man finally revealed a bright smile before he bowed thrice and left the room.

Evelynn looked at him leave.

She saw the whole process and could tell Zenova Artoria was trying to mislead the intelligence network from knowing what their intentions were. They were even asked their names, and instead of lying or telling the truth, she said it was none of his business with a one-eight-degree change in the tone of her voice. The golden-robed man nodded with a smile and a heartfelt apology for sticking his nose where it didn't belong.

Evelynn must admit that her information-gathering skills were as good as Mingzhi's or better.

She placed a hand on Zenova Artoria's shoulder.

"Are you sure trying to confuse them wouldn't backfire instead?"

"…"

Zenova Artoria turned to look at Evelynn and her hand that was on her shoulder. She didn't recall them being very close, but considering that this was an intelligence network palace, she understood that the formations here might pick up any soul transmissions.

Therefore, using physical soul transmission was rather safe.

"Misleading the intelligence network by asking all sorts of information will not let them know of our intentions, but at the same time, if there isn't any coherence with what I'm asking, then their suspicion will only increase, but you don't need to worry about that as I made sure to mask our intentions by framing the questions that vaguely led to investigating the City Lord's Seventh Son."

"Ah…"

Evelynn nodded.

While walking down the streets alone, she heard that the City Lord's Seventh Son had become a Late Stage Sovereign at the young age of three hundred, not to mention that he was also a genius who could apparently cross five levels in prowess.

He is probably the city's idol right now, the crush of millions of women, and he was an ideal husband. After all, he was still unmarried. With that being the case, countless women have poured into this city from other settlements to try their chances of successfully receiving his love and officially becoming his first wife.

However, there were also rumors that they had many enemies and had killed the Rainton Family's Young Master, breeding enmity between the two cities and brewing tension for the past few days on the verge of a war breaking out.

If things went according to Zenova Artoria's plan, the Rogavril City's Intelligence Network may merely perceive them as one of those high nobility women who came to pursue the City Lord's Seventh Son or they could also be perceived as threats and monitored.

It was a dual-edged sword but still better than being seen as Divergents or Inheritors of the Candidacy.

Evelynn couldn't help but smile as she heard the popularity of the City Lord's Seventh Son.

This juxtaposition made her remember her own teenage years when Davis pursued her while she was at a loss for what to do as obtaining love was very far from reality, but she also didn't want to give him up or her seat as the first wife to anyone else and chose to fight for it after she realized during the Grand Sea Continent Meet's initial rounds.

She felt nostalgic after coming this long.

"You can take your hand off unless you want others to think we're an odd couple."

Suddenly, a voice fell in Evelynn's mind, causing her to refocus and look at Zenova Artoria teasingly looking at her.

"That works too~"

"…" Zenova Artoria went silent.

The silence was to Evelynn's liking as she smirked. An odd couple? She wouldn't go as far as to say she could become one, but naked intimacy with her sisters while serving Dais had become commonplace to her that she wasn't flustered by such an indication anymore.

"Didn't you say? To mislead them is our goal, so I'm making it look like we're worried that we wouldn't be able to attain him."

"Right, this room should be anything but private considering the abysmal reputation of the cities in this realm…"

Zenova Artoria moved Evelynn's hand away and stretched back as she yawned.

"But don't worry. We'll somehow meet him as I promised~" She said it out loud.

Only Evelynn knew what she meant and pointed to Davis, but anyone who didn't know about them and was secretly listening to them would think it pointed to the City's Lord's Seventh Son.

Nonetheless, this private room also worked as a guest room as there were bedrooms attached with a bathroom, hall, and even a kitchen. Many people decide to stay here or elsewhere, considering they could wait a long time for new information to arrive.

Six hours later, the golden-robed man appeared with a stack of jade slips in his arms while there were also many that were flying around him.
