Abnormal Raw Material Flows

"So there was so much going on behind the scenes? Father seems never to have mentioned any of this."

Hearing Anvis's explanation, Fiona's rosy little mouth opened slightly, and her lake-blue eyes blinked twice in surprise.

"I obtained most of this information through sources other than the household. You should know that, just like our other brothers and sisters do."

Anvis shook his head, deliberately avoiding the word "family."

"After we return, you can also try asking Father for help in establishing an independent intelligence source of your own. Many times, others will not take the initiative to tell you information that might be useful to you.

"And often, there are special sources of information in everyday life as well, such as the missions posted by associations. From those new missions, one can often indirectly learn about events occurring throughout the Empire."

Gesturing to Fiona, Anvis rose from the sofa and slowly walked over to the mission wall along one side of the hall.

Not long had passed since the missions were updated, and several members of the Watchers Association had already gathered before the mission wall, which was made of grayish-white marlstone, selecting missions suited to them.

Since the Watchers Association had only recently officially gotten underway, the overwhelming majority of its missions had actually been brought over from other large organizations by the Last Dragonborn using his own identity.

The process was simple: after association members completed and submitted missions, they received association points as rewards. The Last Dragonborn would then take the mission items submitted by the members and turn them in to the faction that had posted the mission, collecting the reward and depositing it into the association treasury to keep the association running.
