18 Royal Dragon Pavilion. (1/2)
After spending two days following the main road, the leader of the caravan, who had introduced himself as Ren Jie, stopped the caravan to let the horses have some rest. While the horses were resting at the side of the road, the rest of the group made up a small campfire and boiled some soup using dried meat that they had brought along, even the person from the Shentu clan had stopped his cultivation and joined them.
”Excuse me sir, but I am planning on traveling around the continent, so I was wondering if you knew about a place where you can find a large amount of information, as well as a place that lets you travel around and earn money?”
While they were sitting around the campfire, Li Yang turned towards the fat man, Ren Jie, as he asked. The more information Li Yang was able to buy, the easier it would be to find Fang Ying. At the same time, he would also need a large amount of money and a way of traveling around the continent. If she ended up being on the other side of the continent, he could not simply walk the entire way.
”You want to know where you can easily find a large amount of information? As well as a place that can let you travel around and earn money? That's not hard.”
Upon hearing Li Yang's question, Ren Jie chuckled slightly. If Li Yang had been someone from the city, he would never have needed to ask that question.
”There is an organization on this continent called the Royal Dragon Pavilion. Almost anyone can join this organization, granted that they prove that they have the required strength. Royal Dragon Pavilion can be called a mercenary organization, as it not only allows it's members to undertake missions to receive a reward, but also lets them purchase all kinds of information.”
Royal Dragon Pavilion had a branch in nearly every single city on the continent. The sheer amount of wealth and information that they possessed was unimaginable. Yet there was not a single organization on the continent that dared openly work against them.
”I don't imagine just anyone who is a member can buy all kinds of information?”
Li Yang's face held a slight smile as he questioned. If they allowed any member to buy any kind of information, that could only mean that the price of the information would be incredibly inflated. While speaking, Li Yang did not forget to occasionally feed Jinwu some meat, otherwise, Jinwu would start pecking his neck and annoying him.
”Clever. Upon joining the organization, you will receive the rank of One-Clawed Dragon and will have access to rank one missions as well as rank one information. Upon clearing enough missions, your rank can increase, allowing access to more dangerous but more rewarding missions, as well as allow you to buy more information.”
Ren Jie responded with a smile of his own. Royal Dragon Pavilion had a strict ranking system, no matter what connections you had, you could only buy information and do missions within your own rank.
”The the ranks go upwards all the way to Five-Clawed Dragon, or Titled Dragon. Above Titled Dragon is a special rank, which is only for people who far transcend the power of a Titled Dragon, that rank is Divine Dragon.”
As Ren Jie spoke about the higher ranked people, his voice was filled with respect and awe. To become a Titled Dragon required you to hold immense power, but to become a Divine Dragon, you needed to completely dwarf a Titled Dragon in strength.
”But there is not much point in us talking about Divine Dragon's, even a Titled Dragon is far above any of us. Every three years, the Royal Dragon Pavilion will release a ranking list of the Titled and Divine Dragons, allowing people to know a little about them.”
Ren Jie shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. He was just a small-time merchant, even interacting with a Three-Clawed Dragon was incredibly hard for someone like him. Titled and Divine Dragons were far too far away from him.
As he spoke, he dug around the inside of his clothing for a little while, fishing out a small rolled up scroll and tossing it to Li Yang. Once Li Yang unrolled the scroll, a small stream of Qi shot out from it and entered his forehead, filling his mind with information.
Li Yang had seen such scrolls in his past life, so he was not surprised when the stream of Qi shot out from it. The scrolls were used to store information in the form of Qi, unrolling the scroll would send out the information into the mind of the person holding the scroll, directly transmitting the information into their mind.
Li Yang leisurely looked through the information, there were 100 people on the Titled Dragon list, as well as 100 people on the Divine Dragon list, noting some of the more memorable names. But his eyes suddenly hardened when he spotted the title of a person on the Titled Dragon list.
Ranked 100 on the Titled Dragon list, the lowest possible rank, was a person who was titled Poison's Kiss. The list did not have a name for this person, but it listed that she was a woman and specialized in using the laws of poison to kill her enemies.
