Dylan, huh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed necessary to find someone to check what his identity was, to send such a valuable gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't let someone with ulterior motives use the Young Lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duke's mansion wasn't too far from Dumbwind Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So just a few days later, Dylan received a reply from Miss Inanna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he read it directly himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other organizations, a subordinate reading a letter written to their own BOSS without authorization would be a way to seek death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was different with Dylan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Boss was illiterate, and even if he took it back, he would have to read it to him, so he would see it sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan put away the letter he had finished reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the Boss's entrustment would have to be delayed for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Boss's task was done, the rest was news about Bella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Dylan braved the light rain, stepped through the mud, and walked towards the part of Dumbwind Town that hadn't started reconstruction yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These information brokers liked to hide in these dark corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a building that was relatively intact but still should be classified as a dangerous structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damp, moldy smell surged up through the gaps in the tabletop, and the information broker sat on a crooked oak barrel with his legs crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the final payment of 1 gold coin, he casually threw out a yellowed piece of papyrus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On it were a few sparse strokes, recording the \"news\" sold to Dylan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the information you sold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only 10 seconds later, Dylan slapped this so-called information onto the rotten wooden table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by 'only know she went to the archipelago'?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for going, the specific location, what the situation is now, you have none of this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you playing me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information broker slowly picked the dirt from under his fingernails with a dagger, the blade tip flashing with dark red rust under the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Respected guest, or should I call you Dylan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know that even just finding out she went to the archipelago took a lot of effort on our part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for more detailed information,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do have it, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan looked at his slyly smiling expression and immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it wasn't that he hadn't found out, but that he had even found out the relationship between himself and Bella, and wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price to manipulate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the reconstruction of Dumbwind Town, all kinds of monsters and ghosts had really mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information brokers here before wouldn't have been so unruly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan was so angry that his veins were jumping, but in the end, he suppressed his anger and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information broker's dirty cuffs shook, and two fingers poked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two gold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty gold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you just rob me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sound of a wooden stool scraping the floor rang out, Dylan stood up abruptly, gripped the long sword at his waist, and glared at the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party just maintained the gesture of pointing his thumb at the door to see him off, his oily, shiny skin piling up wrinkles along with his grinning mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly a look of having him figured out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, two figures wrapped in leather armor walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crossed their arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at Dylan with a playful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan looked at the three of them, and in the end, he couldn't pull out his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for me to get the money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dropping this sentence, Dylan turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him came the triumphant chuckle of the information broker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his heel was about to step out of the house, Dylan turned abruptly, and the ring on his hand that was glowing blue pointed at one of the thugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ice Spike Spell]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three ice spikes condensed instantly and shot towards that thug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely not expecting Dylan to strike suddenly, the man was caught off guard and only had time to take a step to the side, dodging one ice spike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two ice spikes shot into his abdomen and thigh respectively, pushing him to smash through the already unstable wooden wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dog, you're courting death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other thug rushed up holding a mace wrapped in iron skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his movements, Dylan could guess that the other party's strength was probably about the same as his own bottom-tier silver rank; if they fought head-on, Dylan would have a higher chance of winning by relying on experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, Dylan wasn't prepared to fight him head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-green cloak on his body was blown up by the strong wind blowing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Phantom Clone]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Dylan's figure blurred for a moment, it became three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information broker, who was hiding in the back and just pulled up his bow, said in disbelief: \"Two skill items?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Piercing LV4]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arrow shot out, piercing through the Dylan in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Dylan was like a bubble, poked and disappeared on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spinning Slash LV5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two Dylans slashed at the thug in front of them from both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a panic, the thug could only randomly choose one side to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal clashing was drowned out by the rain outside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thug guessed right, but he missed the best force-exerting time in his hesitation, and the force he used couldn't fully block Dylan's skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arm was cut by the long sword, with only a layer of skin left connected to the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhhh—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pig-like scream came from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring this thug who could no longer hold a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan carried the still-dripping sword and approached the information broker who was already scared and shaking wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information broker could never have imagined that a former silver-rank adventurer who should have been figured out and entered a period of decline—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would actually possess two skill items!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And strike so decisively and ruthlessly at the same time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, being grabbed by the collar by Dylan, he could only try his best to squeeze out a flattering smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's... it's my fault, I was blinded by greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will tell you all the information, and you can take all the money on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, spare my life...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1540,"2026-06-17T15:02:37.041Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
