Noda' face changed back to seriousness as she asked in a firm tone:
"Did soone trespass his limits and offended you? Tell who is he? I will make sure to give him a lesson."
Ibro smiled and felt her reaction though exaggerated but it made him delighted. She cared about him. He liked that. He said trying to clear this misunderstanding:
"No, no one had offended . I just need to find a certain person. All I know is he is here in your village."
Noda looked strangely at Ibro. She didn't understand how he knew about people in her village. Moran said:
"Is this one quest of yours?"
"Yes. I was told to look for soone who can provide with information about soul cultivation supre energy."
"Ah, you started your first steps at this taboo quest. It's useless to speak about this now as you have already started this road. I can give you so hints about this energy but I can't help you a lot. After all our empire was built over the cosmic supre energy."
'Is this our guy Dronil?'
'No, I didn't sense any resonance from him. He isn't our goal.'
"Thanks, Moran, but the one I'm looking for is here in the village."
"No one here in the village can master the soul cultivation supre energy."
Ibro looked at Noda and asked:
"Are you sure? He might be one of your guild players."
This ti Moran was the one who answered him by saying:
"All her guild players ca from our empire. No one here can use soul cultivation for supre energy."
Ibro fell silent thinking about this dilemma. He thought his quest would be so easy to achieve but it was really hard. He muttered:
"If this was the case then why would the ga give such a quest to ?"
"Can you tell the details of your quest?"
Ibro looked at Moran and said with frustration:
"The quest requires to seek a man here in the village. This man knows much information about the soul cultivation of supre energy."
"This is strange. There is no one here that knows such information. Can you tell the exact words of your quest? Quests in this ga are tricky sotis."
"It said that there is a man that can answer my questions perfectly. The access to this man is in this village. This is my quest."
"See? I just told you that. This ga can be trickery sotis. It really loves playing with words."
"What do you an?"
"I an you misunderstood the quest. This quest tells you about a man that you can gain access to from here, but that doesn't an this man is really here."
Ibro looked in confusion to him while asking:
"I'm sorry; I didn't get your aning."
"I an this man isn't here in the village but you can access him through so way in this village."
Ibro thought a little then asked:
"Do you an that this man isn't here but I can reach him through this village?"
"Yes."
"Then that ans you know the man I'm talking about, right? In this village, you are the only one here who can know such a highly esteed person."
"Well, I know a lot here but I can't guarantee to you that I can convince one of them to talk to you."
Ibro understood his situation. He was still a player in the novice world.
Who would volunteer to tell him so info about such energy? That wasn't logical at all. If he wanted to make soone tell him the info he wanted he needed to pay a certain price for it. He thought a bit and then he asked Moran:
"Can you use your connection to post a request for ?"
Moran knew what Ibro intended to do so he said at once:
"I don't want to be so pessimistic here, but no one will help soone from a novice world like you."
"I know that 's why you will post a reward for . I will use my runes as an exchange price for this info."
Moran kept silent for a while before asking:
"Do you know that the info regarding such supre energy can be considered a top-secret for many experts?"
"Well, my runes are unique runes. I'm sure there will be so people out there who would be interested in such a trade. We won't lose anything by trying, right?"
"You are right, but what about as a middle man?"
Ibro looked at this stingy old brother. This man never did a thing without benefit. Ibro sighed and said helplessly:
"I would give you percent of runes if I got what I really wanted."
"That's a deal then. Tell what information do you want to know?"
"I want to know all the information that you can get."
"That might be expensive. I heard from Noda that a single rune of yours was sold by 6 million gold coins. I will use this as a reference. You need to prepare a huge amount of runes, knowledge here is very expensive."
"Don't worry. Just get as much info as you can. I will prepare the needed runes for you this week. I hope you can bring good news by the end of this week."
"I hope so too. I need to try these runes of yours."
"That's a deal then. I will retire to my room and begin manufacturing runes."
"This fast?"
Ibro looked at Noda whose face turned red imdiately. Before she could say another word Ibro smiled and said:
"I'm here all the ti. If you want to talk to you can send soone to bring here."
She avoided his gaze as she answered in a rapid tone:
"That's ok. If I need you I will send Sliman to your room."
"That's good. Now I will retire. Can Sliman guide back please?"
Noda looked towards Sliman and nodded to him. He moved and guided Ibro towards his room. This ti Ibro was anxious about his quest. He didn't like his fate being in the hands of others.
Once he got to his room, he entered a feverish condition of manufacturing runes. He slept only for a few hours. Apart from this he only got rest while eating. He even worked sotis while eating.
For five consecutive days, he managed to manufacture more than 10k runes. He didn't feel any confidence as he didn't know how much runes it would cost him to find his answers.
He also was worried that Moran couldn't find him a decent source of info. That made him more worried, especially if he needed to succeed in his quest.
During his stay here, his armies had experienced multiple wars with the underground monsters. Everyday Ibro got from 1 to 3 levels. That made him reach level 44 on the fifth day.
He wasn't happy though as his mind was busy with his quest. On this day, Noda sent Sliman for the first ti in these five days to inform him about her desire to et with him.
He knew from Sliman that Moran had requested to see him and he said he had so good news about his request. Ibro moved rapidly from his staying place and went in a hurry behind Sliman towards the manor.
Ibro was so nervous as he wanted to know how successful Moran was at his task. When Ibro reached the manor he greeted everyone in a hurry.
He looked towards Noda and more specifically towards that small screen hanging beside her. Moran smiled and said:
"It seems you are so eager to know the results of my efforts."
