Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 107: The Choice of Rewards

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Choice of Rewards

The Elf regretted that with his meager 150 contribution points in the Camp, he could only exchange them for a set of six, the cheapest Olivendi Life/Mana Potions listed, or one high-level Olivendi Life/Mana Potion.

After issuing the rewards, Anvis instructed the family guards present to protect the Last Dragon Descendant to the Empire Capital to continue his ’subsequent task’.

As the main border defense army of the Royal Family, the White Rose Army, though internally starting to decay, still possessed a strength not to be underestimated.

Anvis believed that once the evidence of the White Rose Army smuggling contraband was confirmed, the family could use this leverage to negotiate a good price.

And for providing this leverage, he was also likely to receive a handsome reward.

"Respected Sir, I have another matter and I hope to seek your assistance," he said.

However, somewhat unexpectedly for Anvis, the Last Dragon Descendant did not end the communication but took the opportunity to make a request.

"I hope you can help me investigate the whereabouts of a mercenary group called ’Heavy Sword’.

Seemingly worried that Anvis would not take this seriously, the Elf added.

"The last time, it was them who transported the Secret Materials for the White Rose Army."

"’Heavy Sword’ Mercenary Group?"

Anvis was slightly stunned.

Having confirmed his memory, it was a name he had never heard of.

After some thought, he adopted the standard NPC demeanor of strictly business.

"Mr. Rivers, the value of this information is not sufficient for me to additionally employ the family’s intelligence forces.

If you insist on investigating, then I will retract the Magic Ring previously granted to you as a reward."

Watching his Elf Follower, Anvis blandly laid out the choice in front of him.

"So, what is your decision?"

Facing the pale and mysterious noble youth, the Last Dragon Descendant instinctively fiddled with the ring, clearly hesitating.

After a moment, his expression firmed.

"Let’s do it that way, Lord Anvis."

To Anvis’s surprise, the Elf ultimately decided to give up Vine’s Ring and used the reward of this task to exchange for information on the ’Heavy Sword’ Mercenary Group.

He was certain, none of the ornaments currently on the Elf matched the effects of Vine’s Ring.

Unlike typical games, in "Mysterious Era," there is no strict level restriction on equipment; even players of level one can wear level ninety gear.

The only true limitation is when there’s a wide mismatch between character level and equipment level; the attributes of the equipment cannot be fully utilized, only a small part can be.

"Can you tell me what reason prompted you to make this decision?"

Anvis asked curiously after glancing at the Elf.

With a player’s typical profit-oriented nature, to investigate a mercenary group at the cost of losing a high-level Magic Ornament?

Could it be that this mercenary group was not only involved in smuggling but also linked to some secret treasure clues?

"Actually, this is what happened. After unintentionally getting separated from the caravan..."

Unaware of Anvis’s thoughts and without hiding anything, the Last Dragon Descendant simply recounted his accidental separation from the caravan, finding a letter on a dead woman by the roadside, and then deciding to go to Manerqin Castle to investigate the situation.

Listening to the explanation of the Last Dragon Descendant, the expressions on the faces of the Olivendi Family guards standing beside the Elf grew increasingly complex.

They found this peculiar Elf utterly incomprehensible.

He was giving up a precious Magic Ring just to find out about the family of a civilian who died by the roadside.

If it was up to them, they would never make such a ’foolish’ choice.

"I see—"

On the other side of the Crystal Ball, Anvis glanced over the bloodstained letters held by the elf, nodding with some understanding.

Among the players, there were also many who were story enthusiasts, and he had been one of them in his previous life.

Besides, it was currently the deletion testing phase.

The value of a Magic Ring versus the value of a piece of story truth. It was hard to say which was higher or lower.

"However, I’ve heard that your strength is nearing Sixth Rank?"

With a sudden shift in tone, Anvis’s voice turned sharp, his deep blue eyes intently staring at the Last Dragon Descendant as if trying to see right through him.

"Oh? Yes, Your Excellency..."

Facing the suddenly oppressive gaze of the young noble, the Last Dragon Descendant hesitated, not instantly grasping the situation and could only follow along with his words.

"Five and a half months? Heh..."

Laughing ambiguously, Anvis spoke again.

"I don’t care why you’re hiding your strength, Rivers, that’s your own business. Now, I can make an exception once, giving you a third choice—"

Hiding strength?

The Last Dragon Descendant suddenly realized, thinking he understood Anvis’s thoughts.

According to the timeline of this world, the day he became a follower of the young noble in front of him was at the end of May.

At that time, he had just created his character and hadn’t had the chance to do any tasks yet; his level was only 1.

Now, relying on the hundred-fold experience of the internal test, he had surged to Level 59, which was close to the NPC’s Sixth Rank strength.

Five months of time, from ordinary person to a professional at the peak of the Fifth Rank.

Such a leveling speed, from the perspective of these ’NPCs’, could only be explained by hidden strength.

While the Last Dragon Descendant was wildly guessing in his mind, Anvis paused slightly, thoughtfully allowing his follower a short moment to conjecture.

After the elf had slightly digested the meaning of his words, Anvis continued.

"I will help you investigate the whereabouts of the ’Heavy Sword’ Mercenary Group, and the Magic Ring will still be yours."

"However, as a price, I have a special task that I need you to carry out."

In fact, this matter did not require the use of the family’s intelligence agencies.

It would simply suffice for someone from the family to ask the White Rose Army directly during negotiations.

Considering that the players’ internal test time was about to end, Anvis decided to speed things up and schedule a certain experiment he had wanted to conduct for some time.

"I choose the third option, respected Your Excellency, may I ask what task you need me to perform?"

The Last Dragon Descendant was delighted in his heart.

New task incoming! Perhaps it’s even a hidden task!

This camp is awesome!

"Don’t be hasty—"

Seeing the elf’s visible joy, Anvis smiled elegantly and did not directly answer,

"The family guard will protect you on your way to the Empire Capital. Once we meet, I will tell you the specific task details.

And during this time before you reach the Royal Capital, I will have someone investigate the whereabouts of that mercenary group.

No matter what their fate is, by the time you stand before me, this matter will have a result."
