Chapter 1689 Encountering A Wall
Almunia City, the capital of the Salyra Kingdom. On the outside, it was prosperous and peaceful. The residents on the street were full of smiles, there were no homeless people, and the wealth spread evenly among the commoners. Everyone had enough, and no one starved. That was on the surface.
In just three days, Tang Shaoyang had his trio of Shadows investigate the Royal Family and the four Duke Families. They were the main pillar of the kingdom. He easily found out that Duke Amalric harbored a great ambition to take over the kingdom.
It was a long project even before the Game started. They won over many nobles who were dissatisfied with the Estanyol Family\'s leadership to overthrow The Estanyol Family\'s reign over The Salyra Kingdom.
The day of the revolution was getting closer and closer. Duke Amalric would start the rebellion once the imperial army went to the south to attack their neighborhood kingdom. They were attacking one of the seven main powers, The Zaren Kingdom which was currently in a conflict with another kingdom.
Despite the big discovery, Tang Shaoyang could not find the relationship between Duke Amalric and the group that created void summoning scrolls. It was a political maneuver from Duke Amalric to overthrow the Royal Family, that was it.
Even when Tang Shaoyang went deeper, he could not find anything related to his main target. He thought he would find them within Duke Amalric\'s secret force, but he could not find them.
"We wasted three days on Duke Amalric and can\'t find our target involvement with Duke Amalric."
Ira furrowed her brow. She thought the same as Tang Shaoyang when they found out Duke Amalric\'s intention to rebel. They thought Duke Amalric gained support from the external force which gave Duke Amalric the courage to rebel. But that was nothing aside from the secret force that Duke Amalric had planted in the capital city.
"I don\'t know why, but I have a feeling that our target is colluding with Duke Amalric\'s faction. Maybe there\'s something we miss."
Kiara, the cat beastmen could not help expressing her true instinct for the matter. Her instinct told her that their target colluded with Duke Amalric\'s faction.
"What are you going to do with the Estanyol Family\'s request?"
Ira changed the topic since they hit a wall in their investigation. They were here as a mercenary corp, a reputable mercenary at that. The Royal Family issued a request for them to assist them in attacking the Zaren Kingdom.
"Soon we will receive a special request from Duke Amalric as well. Which side will we join?" Ira added at the end.
From the trio shadows, Tang Shaoyang found out that Duke Amalric would send someone to make a request with them as well. They wanted them to stay in Almunia but did not specify what their task was. Duke Amalric\'s reward was triple what The Royal Family offered. Of course, it was just Gold Coin, barely any used for Tang Shaoyang.
"Whoever gives us the most benefit in completing our mission," Tang Shaoyang answered.
There was one person who did not like the answer, Anne. She revealed her true feelings that she hated the traitor.
"Isn\'t it obvious? We should assist the Royal Family! They will be thankful to us, and they might assist us in finding our target!"
Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "We are not helping anyone. We are an outsider, and we are not supposed to help anyone. Let everything flow naturally, and our target might use this chance to summon a void creature."
The war and rebellion might be the right time for their target to summon the void creature. They had to wait and watch everything flow naturally. Preventing the rebellion or helping the Royal Family was not part of the mission.
"How can you be so heartless? Will you let these innocents plunge into despair because of the rebellions?"
Anne furrowed her brow, clearly not liking the decision. They had the power to help, but her captain decided not to help. That was what frustrated her.
"Remember why you come here, Anne. We are here not to change the world to our liking. We are here to prevent the void from taking over this world. This world\'s affairs have nothing to do with us. Our mission is very clear, catch the culprit behind the void summoning. What will happen to this kingdom and the people in this city has nothing to do with us. Let the world flow naturally without our intervention!"
Tang Shaoyang raised his hand when Anne was about to respond. He did not want to hear anything that came from Anne, "That\'s enough Anne!"
"You and Torben will follow the Salyra Kingdom\'s army to the battlefield and watch the situation there. Our target might summon the void creature during the war or rebellion. Prodan will stay in the Almunia with me! This is an order!"
Before Anne did something to disturb the flow of this world, he sent her to the battlefield instead, " And we will decline the offer from The Royal Family and Duke Amalric."
The Captain made the decision, and Anne did try to oppose the decision. Even though she knew that Tang Shaoyang was most likely right, not to interfere with this world\'s affairs. Her conscience could not accept it and wanted to help The Estanyol Family.
"What about the Daenelis Clan? Have they found something from the merchant companies and the other mercenary corps?"
Tang Shaoyang changed the topic. In the last three days, they only exchanged contacts with The Daenalis Clan two times. The first time was when they came to them. Later on, they shared the information about the rebellion a day ago. They had not found anything yesterday, and maybe they had something today.
Anne took the initiative to go to The Daenelis Clan with Torben and Prodan to get an update on their investigation.
After the three administrators left, the Admin Helpers were more at ease. Even Anne\'s Admin Helpers were more at ease with Tang Shaoyang than their own superior. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I also have a feeling that Duke Amalric\'s force is related to our target. Maybe we were investigating at the wrong place. Have you investigated the other nobles that take side with Duke Amalric, Cap?"
Nayla dared to voice her opinion after the three administrators left. She was at ease without those three who were strict with their status as administrators. She was afraid that the three administrators would take offense if she said something in the meeting while they did not say anything.
Tang Shaoyang\'s Admin Helpers were being careful not to ruin the harmony in the team.
Tang Shaoyang pondered Nayla\'s words, rubbing his chin. She was right about it. He focused on Duke Amalric and paid little attention to the other smaller noble families.
"Not just the one under Duke Amalric. I have to restart the investigation with the nobles on The Royal Family\'s side as well."
