Chapter 2867: Social Engineering Tactics

"Who else is there?"

The real estate agent wore a thoughtful expression; it seemed there were too many celebrities living in Lieyang Community, and for a moment, they did not know who to introduce first.

Just then, the two walked to a viewing bridge extending toward the center of the lake. The real estate agent seemed inspired and immediately said, "There is also a master painter from the Elf Court. It is said that when Lieyang Community was first being built, he provided guidance. Later, when the community was completed, there was scenery almost everywhere, making residents feel as if they were living inside a painting."

"Hmm, and who else?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

The main thing was that he had no concept of the master painter the real estate agent mentioned, nor was he interested; currently, he still needed to figure out Pafen's location as soon as possible.

The real estate agent seemed to understand Xia Duo's meaning, unconsciously quickening their pace while introducing more frequently, "By the way, guest, the area ahead is where Prince Saier's manor is located. Prince Saier is also here recently, so we had best go around it to avoid disturbing him."

"That is fine. I came in a hurry this time and did not have time to prepare a gift, so it is indeed not suitable to go over for a visit. When the Prince returns to Kemansuoer, I will apologize to him in person."

Xia Duo boasted randomly, but the real estate agent seemed to take it seriously, asking with an almost trembling voice, "The guest knows Prince Saier?"

"We are old acquaintances; we only met two years ago. I cannot reveal any more than that."

Xia Duo had indeed met Prince Saier two years ago, though the atmosphere had not been pleasant, and he could be quite certain that Prince Saier also definitely had a deep impression of him.

But to the real estate agent's ears, these words held another meaning. Now, their attitude became even more respectful; not only did they introduce things in greater detail, but they even took the initiative to reveal the specific residences of those celebrity tenants without Xia Duo having to ask.

Before encountering Prince Saier's residence, this real estate agent had been very cautious and had not revealed the specific addresses of the tenants, and Xia Duo had not asked directly to avoid raising the other party's vigilance.

Originally, he had been thinking about what excuse to use to fish for information, but he had not expected the other party to reveal it directly.

Now Xia Duo truly understood why, in his hometown's modern society, some people could successfully pose as superiors to swindle others; there was no other reason than the fact that subordinate departments developed a fear of superiors that exceeded standard procedures.

If modern society was like this, then a classical society like Kemansuoer went without saying; as long as Xia Duo did not show too much timidity, the other party had to treat him with caution.

What's more, Xia Duo had even been the Yilisier Mianwang in the Projection Plane; occasionally revealing a word or two of linguistic habits that only High Elves were qualified to use, he did not doubt that as long as he spoke, this real estate agent would even be willing to act like a dog for him.

However, Xia Duo would naturally not be that bored; he only cared about one thing, and that was the residence of the Diviner Pafen.

About half an hour later, Xia Duo arrived outside a quiet manor built by the water with a unique design, and at this moment, the Moon Elf real estate agent finally mentioned the focus of Xia Duo's attention—

"Ahead is the residence of the Diviner Pafen. Lord Pafen has always been kind; if the guest needs it, I can contact the manor steward for you to go in and take a look."

"No need, just taking a look from the outside is enough; the main thing is listening to your introduction."

This was originally an opportunity, an opportunity to approach Pafen openly, but Xia Duo also knew that after he did this, let alone Lieyang Community, he feared the entire Saibohomu would be searched inside and out.

And this real estate agent might be a bit mercenary, but they were an innocent Elf; Xia Duo did not want to implicate too many people, so he decided to proceed according to the original plan.

The two walked slowly past the perimeter of Pafen Manor. During the real estate agent's introduction, Xia Duo had already completed his preliminary investigation of Pafen Manor—

From the two levels of Cloud Qi and Magic Net, he had not actively projected a Perception Field, but merely observed the state displayed by the manor from afar.

Looking at it from the perspective of Cloud Qi, the Cloud Qi of the guards and servants was too weak, and it was basically impossible to see anything from such a distance, but there was one strand of Cloud Qi that almost covered the entire manor; even from further away, one could still make a clear judgment.

Even if it was not Pafen, it was definitely another big figure with outstanding influence in Kemansuoer!

The Cloud Qi reaction here was stronger than what he had just seen at Prince Saier's place. It could be seen that even if Prince Saier's status was more noble and he was deeply favored by Yilisier Mianwang, in terms of actual influence, he was still not as good as the mysterious big figure inside Pafen Manor!

Combined with Xia Duo's speculation about Pafen's identity as a member of the Illuminati, he was now 80 or 90 percent sure that Pafen himself was inside the manor, and at the same time, he was more than 90 percent sure that the other party was a member of the Illuminati!

Of course, just because one's influence was strong enough did not mean one was necessarily a member of the Illuminati, because the identity of a Diviner could inherently bring powerful influence, but who told Xia Duo to suspect Pafen from the start!

This was a preconceived bias, but even if the other party's suspicion was small, as long as it existed, Xia Duo would rather catch the wrong person than let one go.

As for the state of the Magic Net, that was a matter of the Magic level. Because he was far away, Xia Duo could only confirm that there were heavy protections inside, but he could not judge exactly what kind of protection mechanisms were in place.

But Magic was just that; as long as he was allowed to get close to Pafen, no accidents would happen.

Soon, Xia Duo finished touring Lieyang Community. He was actually quite satisfied with several of the residences there; it was just a pity that the timing of his visit was wrong, otherwise he would really have liked to purchase a property here!

He had long heard of Saibohomu's reputation as a holy land for fertility, and the most critical thing was that this was not false, but real; in the Projection Plane, it was said to be because of the blessing of the Creator Mother Goddess of Elves.

And in the Main Plane, that naturally became the blessing of the Elf main gods (Elf Guardian God, God of War Victory).

Whether in the Projection Plane or the real Kemansuoer, a large number of High Mages had studied this phenomenon, but in the end, they had not been able to research anything, and could only say that Divine Power was great and beyond the reach of mortals.

Therefore, Xia Duo also naturally thought about letting Niya live in Saibohomu for a long time after she became pregnant. Although he did not care about so-called Magic talent, for his own child, he would definitely give them every buff available.

Before leaving Lieyang Community, Xia Duo asked for the contact information of the real estate agent named "Laisiwitiao" and said, "In a while, I will have my steward come to contact you. Help me reserve at least one of the two sets I liked within three months."

"I will, I look forward to your next visit."

Xia Duo did not engage in too much small talk and left quickly, but after taking a turn in the Public Zone, he changed his identity and returned to Lieyang Community. This time, he was not here to tour, but as a visitor!

A visitor was different from a tourist; not only did they need to register their identity information, but they also needed to confirm with the interviewee, and only after consent could the visitor be allowed to enter.

For this, Xia Duo had long been prepared. After registering his identity information, he took a Badge from his Personal Space, handed it to the city guard watching the place, and instructed:

"Take this Badge to Pafen Manor. I believe Diviner Pafen will not refuse. I will wait here, go and return quickly!"
