Transaction

The Eastern World has many unique training methods.

For example, Eastern Ascetic possess a special Feat called "Hui Xin," an ability even more powerful than the Legendary Feat "Sixth Sense." In addition, the training methods of Eastern Monk can yield many additional Feat, such as "Godly Movement Technique," "Listen to the Wind and Discern Position," and "Parry Hidden Weapons." Many of these Feat are universal and can be mastered by other professions; Druids and Swordmaster are among the professions that have learned the most from Monk.

The Warden in front of me must also possess some kind of special Feat.

Since he was able to detect Soren's presence the moment he moved, there was no need for him to hide any longer. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Warden! Long time no see!"

Upon hearing Soren's words, the Warden lowered his grip on his Warhammer slightly and frowned, asking, "Who are you? Have we met before?"

Soren's words were a psychological suggestion, implying that he had seen him directly.

This makes it much less likely that the other party will directly attack you, making it easier for them to say what they want to say next.

I met him a long time ago.

Soren glanced at the Paladin beside him. The young Paladin didn't recognize him because Soren was wearing a cloak at the moment. They had only met briefly in the City of Wealth, and Soren didn't have the imposing presence he had now back then. As long as Soren didn't want to reveal himself, even people who had met him before wouldn't easily recognize him.

He glanced at the Warden before him and said in a deep voice, "In fact, I was just passing through."

"However, since I've encountered Your Warden, I'm prepared to make a deal with you!"

trade?

The Warden's expression immediately turned to surprise, and he asked in a low voice, "What deal?"

Before him stood a Legendary Rogue, and regardless of whether he was Evil or not, he wasn't entirely confident of victory. Moreover, fighting Legendary Rogue could easily affect the Paladin nearby, and he didn't want a young talent to perish here. The number of Holy Avenger was dwindling; most Paladin had rallied under the Lord of Radiance. Compared to the ruthless and decisive Avengers, the Lord of Radiance's deals aligned more with the Paladin ' beliefs.

For example, 'eradicate evil completely' is one of the tenets of the Holy Avenger!

They advocated eradicating the enemy completely, showing no mercy to them, while other Paladin advocated treating prisoners kindly, not attacking the unarmed, and allowing those with minor sins to be forgiven if they repented. Taking the sand bandits as an example, the Holy Avenger would wipe them out completely, while the orthodox Paladin might spare some.

Soren gazed at the other man and said in a low voice, "I've stumbled upon some information."

"Perhaps this information will be useful to you! However, you must pay to receive information from me, and coincidentally, I have a favor to ask of you as well."

Thieves' Guild?

Or Rogue from another organization?

The Warden frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What message? What do you want?"

Soren smiled upon hearing this and said, "I unexpectedly learned during my Travel that one of the gems on the [Holy Avenger] - Carsomyr- is located! I know you have always hoped to repair this Artifact. So I think you would be interested in this information."

Holy Avenger?!

The Warden looked shocked upon hearing this, and involuntarily took a step forward, locking his gaze on Soren in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you know any clues about Carsomyr?"

[Holy Avenger] - Carsomyr.

A +5 level Artifact, and one of the most powerful weapons in the mortal realm!

However, it is not complete at present, because this Artifact is missing one of the most important parts: the Eye of Torm.

The eyes of the previous [God of Justice].

This eyeball is similar to a gemstone, and it can be used to repair [Holy Avenger] - Carsomyr, turning it into a true Artifact. For a long time, the Holy Avenger have been searching for its whereabouts, but unfortunately, they have never found a clue. Soren has naturally never seen this eyeball either, but he happens to have a clue about it in his memory. It's something that Soren can't obtain right now, but he doesn't mind telling the Warden in front of him in advance.

What do you want?

The Warden's expression gradually calmed down, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm curious what a Rogue would want from us."

He believed it.

If an ordinary professional said this, he would probably scoff, but if a Legendary Rogue said it, then the credibility would be quite high.

Among all professions, Rogue are the easiest to gather information.

"It's nothing important."

Soren glanced at him and said slowly, "I know your organization has been operating in the desert Gobi Desert for many years. I want a map of this place, but not an ordinary map. I want a map marked with those ancient ruins, one of which contains what I need, so this is a fair deal."

The desert contains many dangerous ancient ruins.

Many places are remnants from the Arcane Empire era, and the Paladin secretly monitor these places to prevent the terrifying monsters sealed within from appearing.

Energy radiation produced many Mutated Creature.

The existence of Ancient Evil Creature has always been a major enemy of the Eastern World, Paladin also bear some of the responsibility of Eastern Monk.

"Map?"

The Warden fell silent upon hearing this; as Soren had said, it wasn't anything of great importance.

The worst-case scenario is that the Rogue in front of you has opened up some dangerous place. Even without a map, if a Legendary Rogue is determined to find it, he can still find what he is looking for.

Where is it?

The Warden stared at Soren and said in a deep voice, "Tell me where the thing is first, and I'll have someone send the map to you."

Paladin are generally considered reliable.

Soren glanced at him and slowly said, "It's in a Beholder lair in the Underdark, currently in the hands of a Death Tyrant. With your abilities, you should be able to persuade a Legendary Wizard to use Divination. A Spell will Prophecy you whether the information is true or false. As for the exact location, I'll tell you once the map arrives."

Divination has significant limitations.

However, once you have some clues, determining whether it's true or false isn't that difficult.

Even if one cannot directly Prophecy the ' Eye of Torm,' one can use alternative methods. For example, one could Prophecy whether something related to [Holy Avenger] - Carsomyr is there, or whether there is something from [God of Justice] - Torm in his possession. Or one could use a different method to make the Prophecy. Many things, once there are clues, cannot be completely concealed by Spell. The Paladin in front of him can determine the truth of the information simply by using a different method.

certainly.

The Legendary Divination could only be confirmed if Soren was telling the truth.

Without what he said, and if it's just a Prophecy based on the ' Eye of Torm,' then it's practically impossible to get any clues.

The Warden gave Soren a deep look, then said in a low voice, "Very well. As long as the information is true, what you requested will be delivered soon."

"Let's go."

The Legendary Paladin turned and left, seemingly eager to ascertain the truth of the message.

Before leaving, however, the young Paladin couldn't help but glance at Soren a few more times, as if he looked somewhat familiar.

Although Soren didn't specify the exact location, if the information he just received is true, activating the power of the Holy Avenger should be enough to find it, albeit at a great cost. They would first need to locate the Death Tyrant within the Underdark. Even the Warden before them wasn't entirely confident in defeating such a monster, let alone the fact that it possessed an eye from Deity.

The day passed quickly.

The Holy Avenger acted swiftly; by almost noon the next day, Soren had obtained what he wanted.

A map marking most of the ruins in the Desert Region.

Soren could tell at a glance whether it was real or not, because even if he wasn't very familiar with the desert terrain, he still had some impression of the locations of the ruins that many Adventurer had tracked and explored back then. He had a vague memory of more than 70% of the Desert Ruins, and the one he was going to was naturally marked on it as well.

Deep within this ruin resides a Balor, clearly marked on the map.

Soren's memory perfectly matches this, because among those who sealed away the Balor was the Holy Avenger, a Balor of CR 27.

What Soren is looking for isn't in the place that imprisoned him, so he probably won't have much to do with this monster!

Nearly half of the things on the map are marked.

The map clearly shows everything from Golem and Evil Creature to Devil and Demon, with details about what lies beneath in many places. Such maps are only held by a small number of powerful organizations; he himself only obtained half of one in the Eastern World back then.

Soren told them what he knew.

Whether they can obtain it or not is up to the Paladin. The Underdark is fraught with danger, and even entering it is no easy feat for them.

It would definitely take a Legendary team to complete the mission.

The item has arrived.

There was no need for Soren to linger here; he would head directly to the underground ruins. However, before that, he needed to hire some people to find a way to dig a passage into the interior. Although these ancient ruins were buried by the desert on the outside, many things inside were still relatively well-preserved, and Soren himself could dig a passage if necessary.

certainly.

This will definitely require preparing some tools in advance, and we should also see if we can recruit some cannon fodder.
