Chapter 1726 Information is expensive!
have to say,
Balgon's account is well-balanced in detail and is clear and easy to understand.
Compared to the ridiculous promises that Madam Octopus had to keep, it was like heaven and earth!
Not only was the information about Sun Ying, a woman from the Spirit Clan, exceptionally detailed,
They even told him the exact time and place when the other party would appear in the real universe.
The main focus is on being comprehensive!
So much so that, upon hearing the rest, both Madam Octopus and King of the Wind had a strange, unsettling feeling.
It seems that this woman named Sun Ying is not a member of the Elven race, but rather a Gobern under the jurisdiction of the tribe behind Balgon!
Otherwise, how could Balgon know so much about it?
It's as if I've lived in his house for over ten years!
"Entered the Demon Realm twenty years ago, and again, I bear the surname Sun..." King Lingfeng stroked his chin, a look of reminiscence on his face:
"Ying... Sun Ying... Hiss, could she be the only daughter of Sun Huowang, a general of the Spirit Clan?"
"I heard the Queen of the Spirit Clan mention it twenty years ago. She said that he was aloof and unsociable, and that he was often missing."
"I never expected to accumulate enough resource points to enter the Demon Realm..."
"You remember someone who went missing twenty years ago so clearly?" Madam Octopus looked at King of the Wind with considerable surprise:
"You seem to be a little too competent as the overlord of this star field, don't you?"
"Sun Huowang's only daughter, of course I have some impression of her." King of the Raging Wind grinned:
"You should know that Elford, the home planet of the Eldar, is an absolute powerhouse in the Storm Starfield, and Sun Huowang is an exceptionally talented Eldar hero!"
"It's just a pity that he was unlucky, had a tragic fate, and died young..."
"Since you remember her so well, how come you, as the overlord of the Storm Starfield, let Sun Ying disappear?" Madam Octopus asked with disdain.
"Uh, it's all because she lacks talent..." King of the Wind scratched his cheek, slightly embarrassed.
"If I remember correctly, when Sun Ying was seven years old, she opened the data panel and her awakened talent ability seemed to be only silver grade."
"While it wasn't terrible, compared to the quality of her father Sun Huowang's diamonds, it was like comparing heaven and earth..."
"She worked very hard, but unfortunately, talent is something that can't be made up for by hard work alone."
"Later, her father had an accident, and she became completely withdrawn, living a solitary life and gradually fading from everyone's sight..."
"So that's how it is..." Madam Octopus nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
But soon, she noticed something was wrong and frowned, saying:
"Wait a minute, you said that Sun Ying's talent is not good, she is only at the silver grade, and she can't make up for it through hard work."
"How did she accumulate enough resource points in the Gray Zone to gain entry into the Demon Realm?"
"We've both participated in looting games. The competition in that mode is extremely brutal. Without real skills, it's impossible to gain resource points; you'll only lose the items and equipment you brought in!"
"How did Sun Ying, with her mediocre talent, manage to do that?"
"This..." The King of the Raging Winds was momentarily speechless:
"I don't know about that..."
“If you two have any doubts, you can actually confirm them directly with her after you meet her in person,” Balgon, who had been patiently listening to their conversation, suddenly suggested.
"From what I know, Sun Ying has a friendly personality and is not averse to communicating with people."
Madame Octopus squinted, looking Balgon up and down with great suspicion, and asked:
"By the way, why do you know so much about a spirit race woman who entered the Demon Realm?"
“Naturally, it’s because while you were conducting your investigation, my fellow tribesmen were also working hard behind the scenes,” Balgon shrugged.
"No..." Madam Octopus changed her mind, her tone hesitant.
“What I mean is that your level of understanding of Sun Ying far exceeds what a normal investigation could cover.”
"It gives me the feeling that you two live together and see each other all the time."
Balgon directly admitted:
"We live together."
“Sun Ying has always lived in our territory, working, studying and training with us, day in and day out for twenty years, and has never left.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Octopus's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
"What did you say!?"
"You're saying Sun Ying has been living in Gobern's territory for the past twenty years? Living in that secluded paradise?!"
"Mmm." Balgon's lips began to curl upwards.
"So all you told me twenty years ago was what Sun Ying looked like, that she was in the Demon Realm?!" Madam Octopus felt like a stupid sea boar being toyed with by Gobern in front of her.
"Madam, you didn't ask any other questions?" Balgon asked matter-of-factly.
"Furthermore, other issues will incur additional fees, and I have no obligation to inform you of them."
"You..." Madam Octopus opened her mouth, but ultimately held back from cursing.
No wonder she hadn't found any trace of that spirit woman despite entering and leaving the Demon Realm so many times over the past twenty years, both openly and secretly.
It turns out they've been hiding right in Goebel's lair!
Who the hell can find this?!
"Does Madam have any other questions?" Balgon asked with a bright smile, not wanting the conversation to falter, and very considerately inquired:
"Don't overlook any important issues this time, lest we repeat the situation of twenty years ago."
"So... you Gobern's people actually knew the truth about the closure of the Gray Zone and the War of the Gods all along?" Madam Octopus looked at Balgon with complicated eyes.
"I wouldn't say I know the absolute truth, but I do have some understanding." Balgon nodded slightly, then added:
"Information on this is very expensive."
Madam Octopus: "..."
She turned to look at the bewildered King of the Wind beside her.
After staring for a while, he met Balgon's gaze again and asked slowly:
"Could Corleone pay for it?"
“Of course!” Balgon pulled out a small booklet that looked like it was bound together with leaves from somewhere and started flipping through it quickly.
He said while flipping through the pages:
"However, given the current economic situation of the Storm Starfield Overlord, it is probably only enough for one transaction."
"After the transaction is completed, we may have to give up three-quarters of the planetary resources in the Storm Starfield, as well as nearly half of the actual control of the Overlord Army."
The King of the Winds blinked, his body swirling with chaotic energy, and uttered a foolish question to Balgon:
"what?"
In exchange for a single transaction and partial access to information about the War of the Gods, he, the overlord of the Storm Starfield, was asked to hand over most of his wealth.
Is this a legitimate intelligence transaction?
This is clearly a rip-off of the King of the Rinnegans!
