Chapter 307: Gained an information network...
"Why is this information not in the history books, by the way? They don\'t even talk about this topic in the books..."
Even in the novel, Rio never read about how the other races appeared on the planet, as the novel didn\'t really focus much on its world-building aspect.
The main focus of the novel was on \'How to glorify Fade More!\', so it basically ignored every other important fact from the start.
Today is the first time that Rio has found out about this information.
"Well, I used to have a lot of connections back in my days... and the boss actually once met an S-rank dwarf; I guess he must have learned about it from that dwarf... but I don\'t know his name or anything as I never met him..."
"Also, they likely hid the information about this massive spatial teleportation..."
"King Allen wanted to end \'Racial discrimination\' from this world entirely; he created a language that everyone uses today..."
"It is highly likely that he might have ordered that the information about this spatial teleportation must remain hidden..."
Rio also believed that Irvin\'s speculations had some weight.
If King Allen wanted to eliminate \'Racial discrimination\', he would have to hide the fact that
the other races came from other planets and are not native to this planet.
This way, the general populace will accept others more easily.
Knowing that the other races are just \'aliens\' who suddenly came to their planet and are using their resources would cause massive chaos.
King Allen\'s ambition was to make a \'discrimination free\', \'miasma free\', \'demon-free\' world in which people would feel like they were living in heaven itself.
In the history books, King Allen\'s famous quote is recorded as:
{I will create a paradise on earth... I will create a heaven that will accept all lost souls...}
"Sigh... I was planning on spending the next whole year training, but it seems I will be very busy..."
Hearing Rio\'s words, Irvin shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, to gain something, we have to put in an equivalent amount of effort for it..."
Rio nodded his head at those words. He knew the importance of hard work; if he hadn\'t known about it, he wouldn\'t have reached his current level.
Irvin suddenly opened a hidden drawer in a nearby cabinet and brought out a silver card with white designs on it.
He then handed the card over to Rio with a smile on his face.
"Take it; the assassination organization closed when the boss disbanded it, but I still have my connections... I sometimes work as an informant; if you need some information in the future, you can contact me.."
"May it be running background checks or any other details that you might want about someone, you can rely on me; my contact information and other details are on that card... Keep it safe..."
Before Rio had the chance to respond, Irvin said,
"Ah, but keep in mind that my connections are not free; you will need to pay an equivalent sum to me for each piece of information..."
Rio sighed at those words.
"If you are really an informant, then why didn\'t you ask for money when you told me so much information about my sword and also gave me the diary that records my father\'s personality?"
Hearing Rio\'s words, Irvin shook his head and said,
"No, that was a personal matter; I only charge money for things that are not personal questions... Rest assured, you may ask me any question about my boss, and I will not charge you any money..."
Rio nodded his head and put the card in his space ring.
"By the way, why are you living so far away from society? It\'s as if you are a fugitive living underground..."
Hearing that question, Irvin scratched the back of his neck and said it in embarrassment. "Well, a lot of my friends are shady people who can\'t come to visit me in normal places. I created this tavern so that criminals, murderers, etc. these type of people can gather here..." "They are also a great source of information, by the way..."
At Irvin\'s words, Rio frowned a bit and said,
"You know... No matter how far away this tavern is from the nearest city, the SS-rankers can easily detect whatever you are doing here... or they might already know about it all..."
"Neo\'s summoned beast wanders around the borders... You are likely already on his radar; he might even know that I have come here to visit you..."
Irvin nodded his head and said,
"Well, I have a proper license and paperwork... This place is totally legal; only the visitors that come here are shady people... In other words, even if the SS-rankers know about this place, they will only catch the criminals, not me..."
Irvin shrugged his shoulders and said in a confident voice,
"I am a law-abiding citizen who has never committed any crimes; they can\'t arrest me even if
they want to..."
All criminals are to be judged by the law; not even SS-rankers are above the law.
Although it\'s really impossible to punish an SS ranker as they are just too important for the nation, they are still asked to abide by the law.
Additionally, the reason that not a single S-ranker or SS-ranker dares to create chaos in the country is due to a single individual, \'Ashtel Rex.\'
Ashtel is a strict person; he doesn\'t tolerate people who think that they are above the law just because they are strong.
The S-rankers and even the SS-rankers fear his power and dare not mess around with the common people under Ashtel\'s nose.
After all, it will only take a flick of his finger to kill them.
It won\'t be wrong to say that: aside from real powerhouses like the dragon king, the elf king,
or the demon king... Everyone else is just cannon fodder in front of him...
...
Rio and Irvin talked about a few other irrelevant things before Rio decided to get serious.
He narrowed his eyes and asked,
"You said you have a lot of connections... Does your information network also extend to the \'demon continent\'?"
Irvin was taken aback by Rio\'s sudden question, but then he understood what Rio wanted to
say,
"If you want to know about that Demon Prince, then I am really helpless... I really don\'t have much information about him... All I know is that the current demon king, that is, his father, doesn\'t seem to like him much..."
"That\'s all I know for now... If some new information comes up, I will contact you..."
Rio nodded his head at Irvin\'s words and got up from the seat.
"Well, it was great chatting with you. I will depend on your information network someday if the need arises. Don\'t end up dying too early... gramps..."
A happy smile appeared on Irvin\'s face after hearing the word \'Gramps\'. Now that Rio has said
it with his own mouth, it means that he has acknowledged Irvin as a grandpa figure.
Irvin was happy that Rio had forgiven him for not helping out during the time when he was
alone in the orphanage.
\'Sigh... I guess now I can just die in peace and I will have regrets in life...\'
Irvin shook his head, glanced at Rio\'s departing back, and said,
"You can come to visit me whenever you feel like it. I will be happy to tell you stories about
my adventures with your father..."
Rio waved his hand and said,
"Well, if the opportunity comes, I will be back... Next time, keep some good tea ready for
me..."
With that said, Rio left the underground tavern.
He had already gotten all the information he came here for; there was no point in staying here
for too long. Rio got out of the dilapidated building and glanced back while thinking,
\'I have a feeling... I will be coming here often in the future... What a strange feeling...\'
Rio shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He went over to the helicopter that was
parked nearby and sat beside Ars and Leo to fly back to the capital.
While on the way back, Rio kept thinking in his mind, \'Dwarven empire... I guess I will contact Arner when I go there...\'
Rio added Arner\'s contact information to his smartphone during the award ceremony
banquet, so it won\'t be a problem to contact him.
Also, international travel is very common in today\'s world; people can take international flights and go on trips to other nations without any problem.
Except for the Demons, Dragons, and Fairies, all races are part of the world alliance, so there
is no need to worry about not being able to go there, as not many nations have enmity with
each other.
Orcs and humans once fought a fifty-year-long war, but everything is peaceful between the two races today, and you can go visit the Orc Capital without any problems.
Every year, millions of tourists come to the human empire from all over the world, and it\'s
very common for humans to travel to other nations too.
Thinking about all this, Rio felt more confident.
\'I guess I will go to the Dwarven Empire after I graduate from the academy... Right now, my schedule is just too packed. I might receive my first mission any day now...\'
