Nordic: I Created a Forbidden Land for the Gods
Chapter 71 The Only Acceptable High Price
"Information, what is he going to sell?"
"Even if they do have some knowledge, confined to this small island, their understanding is probably very limited."
In the "guest room" in the forest, watching the scene where all the actors were present but no fight broke out, cleverly fooled by Neil, Ella's bright face was half bored and half meaningful as she looked at the chaotic figure.
When Ella heard this mysterious guy say he wanted to buy and sell information, she was initially interested, but then, after thinking about something, she suddenly felt indifferent.
All intelligence is about timeliness.
The world is constantly changing.
Even setting aside distant examples, Odin's instigation of naval warfare alone would disrupt all sorts of intelligence and information.
This will cause the value of war-related intelligence to skyrocket, and will also make information that was originally worth tens of thousands of secret coins suddenly become worthless.
Hiding on this small island, without knowing the specific situation outside, what good news can they possibly sell?
Upon hearing this, the leaders of the three kingdoms were momentarily moved, but then, thinking about these things, their expressions became somewhat bored.
"Friends from Lindong, if you're going to talk about where there are hidden treasures of gold and silver in the sea, then there's no need to mention it; I won't be interested."
"Some time ago, someone defected to us and contributed a valuable nautical chart, but all he found after all the effort was things that couldn't be converted into cash. I was so angry that I killed him on the spot."
"The Kingdom of Giant Rock," Tang Sen said with a mocking laugh.
Although an agreement had been reached, he was the most short-tempered of the three and the one who suffered the most in silence, so he naturally wouldn't be very polite in their verbal exchanges.
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
While Gina and Walker weren't quite as exaggerated, their expressions and actions said it all.
"I see. Since you're not interested, it's fine if you want to leave."
"But Mr. Walker, please hold off. As an ally, I can give you a little sneak peek beforehand."
"Since it's free money anyway, there's no harm in listening, right?"
Enveloped in chaos, Neil's split soul glanced meaningfully at Tang Sen's back before turning to the wizard-dressed giant and speaking in layers.
Walker was taken aback. Although he was not convinced, he had that relationship after all, and he was also moved by Neil's words. He took a step forward and really just intended to listen.
In the street, the air around them swirled subtly, and the power of "concealment" concentrated and contracted between the two.
"Playing tricks..." Tang Sen sneered, turned away, and strode towards his own giant ship.
But after taking only two steps, he felt a sudden, violent tremor behind him, and an immense pressure burst forth uncontrollably, causing the air to frost over.
The leader of the Stone Kingdom was taken aback. He turned around and saw that the cunning wizard, who always had a poker face, was now looking at him with disbelief.
What did you hear?
Not only him, but also Dark Moon Gina and Ella, who had been observing from a distance, showed a change in expression and became concerned.
"That's all I can tell you for free. Goodbye and best wishes for a bright future."
Sensing the gazes directed at him, the divided soul spoke from beneath the cloak of chaos, then turned to return to the forest.
"Wait!" But Walker grabbed her arm.
With a bang, the divided soul suddenly disintegrated on the right side under a single grab.
This is, after all, a creation made primarily from the spiritual power of a mortal. Even though it contains many runes as scraps, it is mostly only at the first or second level, and its overall quality is not very high.
Facing a pure-blooded Titan, or even one of the stronger ones among them, a single powerful grip would naturally be unbearable.
Ella, observing from a distance, was alright, as she wasn't very familiar with this pure-blooded giant, but Tang Sen and Gina found it incredible.
This is the first time in hundreds of years that I've seen the other person so out of control.
This is a cunning old fox who could practically sell himself off with his facial paralysis!
What surprised them even more was Walker's subsequent attitude.
Seemingly not expecting this "avatar" to be so fragile, the old fox's expression changed, and then, as if afraid of losing an important source of intelligence, he quickly smiled and apologized.
"Your 'avatar' is a little... special, it was my fault for accidentally breaking it."
"This is my apology, and I hope you can accept it. I should be able to make some compensation and repairs."
"Shall we continue our previous topic?"
With a pained expression, he pulled a bottle from his pocket and handed it over.
The bottle is yellowish-green, with very luxurious court-style carvings, and a fragrant aroma wafts from it, giving one a jolt.
As a mortal, Neil didn't recognize its value, but Tang Sen, who was about to leave, gasped and blurted out:
"The dew of the Spirit Tree Yuk!"
"Although it is not at the level of the World Tree, it is still an ancient tree that grows in a cycle of thousands of years. A drop of dew can restore a broken soul. It is an unparalleled medicine!"
"Legend has it that there once stood a sacred tree in the icy sea, and the infamous Colin found a clue before settling here with his men and establishing a nation. Could the legend be true?"
Not only him, but even Ella was surprised and incredulous.
Although it wasn't her, another Freya avatar in the Ice Age Kingdom used "bewitching" on the old fox and gained some understanding of the old fox's mental state through sharing.
He is definitely not the kind of person who would easily hand over a treasure.
But he did it anyway, as if he was afraid Neil would refuse, and took something heavyweight.
The so-called "avatar" is clearly a cheap product. Its most valuable asset is the rune power, which can be automatically replenished as long as the rune is present. It's no exaggeration to say that it's completely worthless.
But contrary to his usual behavior, he took the initiative to show goodwill.
"Is it because what the Lord of Winterfell just said truly has that value?"
Beneath the green veil, Ella subconsciously licked her upper lip, her beautiful eyes sparkling with allure.
The leaders of the other two countries did the same, watching Neil accept the gifts and say thank you in hushed tones, before trying to continue their previous conversation.
Their gazes immediately turned serious. Even with the power of a level two "concealment" concentrated, it could still be easily seen through in the face of power at the god level.
But as they did this, Walker seemed to sense something, coughed lightly, and his wizard attire fluttered without wind, spreading out layers of chilling aura.
A constant flow of energy enveloped the two, and under the influence of the same divine level, no other gaze could penetrate it, making it impossible to "get away with it for free".
Watching the aura dissipate, and the man leave Walker with a shocked and satisfied expression, Tang Sen's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"I also want to know what Mr. Lin Dong just talked about with Binghe."
"The price is negotiable."
Tang Sen's expression stiffened, but he hesitated when he thought about his previous statement.
But after Walker, Anna of Darkmoon hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke softly.
Watching the female giant leave satisfied after paying a heavy price equivalent to the dew of the spirit tree and being concealed by the dark moonlight, Tang Sen's lips twitched even more violently.
It was also confirmed that the information being sold was indeed related to the war.
If other countries possess this intelligence while we do not, then we are a step behind in preparation and fall into a disadvantageous position.
If you fall behind at one step, you'll fall behind at every step, and in the end, you might be used as a scapegoat.
"The last one to know will only be sold at a high price."
"But I can't refuse!"
