Chapter 349: Yiyi
In the Chant Church in the cathedral district of North Tivian, under the tall dome supported by rows of thick columns, Misha stood there in ordinary winter clothes, looking at the man in front of her with a scrutinizing eye as he stretched out his hand to her with a smile. There was nothing unusual about the man on the surface. After a slight hesitation, Misha stretched out her hand and shook it with the other party.
"Your pattern magic is impressive... Detective, this is the first time I've seen these extraordinary effects that only occur in my eyes. It's a great insight."
Misha asked Ed, obviously curious about the effect of the general knowledge, and Ed smiled and spoke under Dorothy's persuasion.
"It's nothing, just an extraordinary item that I got by chance. It can secretly convey some information to a designated person, but unfortunately it is not very useful other than that."
Dorothy asked Ed to answer this, not out of modesty, but that was about all Dorothy could do with her general knowledge quill.
Dorothy has done experiments on the feather of general knowledge. She found that this pen allows her to write general knowledge rather than master it. At least there are limitations to the general knowledge written with this pen. That is, the more precise the conditions for adding weight are, the less spiritual power is consumed, and vice versa. The broader the conditions for adding weight are, the greater the consumption.
For now, the general knowledge that Dorothy wrote with this feather pen can only be read by a certain person or a few people who are set to read it accurately. For the time being, she cannot set whether people who meet certain conditions can read it like in the ruins, because the spiritual power consumed by setting such broad conditions is several times or even dozens of times that of setting precise individual conditions. Even if the spiritual power used is the least important "inspiration" for Dorothy, it cannot withstand the spiritual power consumption of the feather pen under broad conditions. Therefore, for now, Dorothy can only set the general knowledge to be read by individuals using the feather pen.
This should be a problem with the feather pen prop, not a problem with the general knowledge itself. Dorothy thought that if she really mastered the general knowledge, her spiritual energy consumption would definitely be much better.
"You're very punctual, Mr. Detective."
"Well, it's not very elegant to let a lady wait for me. It's a great honor for me that you trust me to keep an appointment, Ms. Misha." With his unchanging smile, Ed continued to speak politely to Misha, while Misha glanced around and then spoke.
"In order to dispel my concerns, you chose a place like this for the meeting. This level of sincerity is not worth wasting, so I came."
Looking at the scene around her, Misha loosened her hand and then asked Ed.
"So, shall we talk here?"
"Of course, there are not many people praying today. This church is so big that we can just stay in this corner. We don't need to be too wary of those guys on the church's territory."
While talking to Misha, Ed walked to the last row of seats in an empty corner of the church and sat down. Seeing this, Misha followed and sat not far from Ed.
"What kind of association are you? Why are you hostile to the Eight-pointed Nest? How much do you know about the Eight-pointed Nest?"
Looking sideways at Ed beside her, Misha asked when Ed came in after taking the order, while Ed spread his hands and answered with a smile.
"You're asking this question a little too hastily, Ms. Misha. I'm here to trade intelligence with you, not to report to you. I'm sorry I can't tell you all the intelligence that's not within the scope of the trade."
Listening to Ed's words, Misha's face darkened. After staring at Ed for a few seconds, she continued to speak.
"So, what can you tell me?"
"I can tell you that I have already written it in the letter before. There is a traitor in your investigation team. The intelligence in your team is completely seen by the traitor. It is impossible for you to rely on the investigation team with a small traitor to find the big traitor. Because we have a spy in the Eight Peaks, we happen to know the identity of the small traitor. This is what I can tell you today, ma'am."
Ed said this to Misha in a light tone, and Misha continued to ask back.
"Since you don't have a spy among the Eight Peaks, do you only know the identity of the little traitor? You don't know anything about the big traitor?"
"The information about the big insider is also a very rare first-class machine among the Eight Peaks. Although we have not infiltrated the Eight Peaks, with the current infiltration strength, we are temporarily unable to reach there. If we have the relevant information one day, maybe we can have the next transaction, but this transaction does not include this."
Ed continued to speak to Misha in an explanatory tone. Misha was silent for a while after listening to Ed's words. After a long pause, she began to speak.
"So...what do I need to pay to get the information about the little traitor?"
"Information for information. I have some questions for you. If I get valuable answers, I will tell you the information truthfully."
Looking into Misha's eyes, Ed continued to speak, and Misha couldn't help but sneer in response after hearing it.
"Heh... if I answer, it's up to you to decide whether the answer is valuable. What if I answer but you regret it?"
Misha questioned Ed, and Ed straightened his collar and answered solemnly.
"Ms. Misha, I think since we are already here, it means that we already have basic trust in each other. There is no need for you to doubt me in a place like this. If you are unwilling to give me this little trust, this transaction will not go through."
Listening to Ed's words, Misha's expression froze. After thinking for a while, she took a breath and spoke, unwilling to give up the opportunity to obtain intelligence on the Eight Peaks.
"Well, just ask whatever you want to know."
"Very good... Ms. Misha, what we want to know is the news about some gods in the 'Shadow' realm. Has anyone in your Security Bureau ever studied or even believed in the gods in the 'Shadow' realm?"
Ed asked Misha this question. Misha was stunned when she heard Ed's question. She didn't seem to expect the other party's question to be like this.
"Isn't it... news about alien gods? Haha... If you ask me these questions, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The Security Bureau is an official extraordinary organization under the Kingdom Government, and there is no alien god worship within it.
"We do not worship alien gods, and studying alien gods is very likely to lead to worshiping alien gods, which will breed instability within the bureau, so our research on alien gods is also very superficial and will not be in-depth."
Misha said this to Ed. Ed was startled after hearing her words, then he frowned slightly and continued to speak.
"So... have you ever done any research on the pure-color gods in the realm of "shadow"?"
"Shadow' pure color gods? Do you mean the core beliefs in the spiritual realm like Pluto's to Silence, and the Hermit of Cups' to the Hermit of Cups? I'm sorry, because the pure color faith associations are much less active than others, only Pluto and the Hermit of Cups have a little influence in the Hades Coffin Order and the Afterbirth Order. I have never heard of the other pure color gods except the Glow Rescue, so our understanding of them is very limited, because it is not necessary to know these knowledge for work, which is both energy-consuming and risky."
Misha explained this to Ed, and Dorothy, who heard Misha's words through Ed's senses, couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart, and a sense of uneasiness emerged from the bottom of her heart.
