Chapter 200 - Memories (1/2)
”The price is... memories?” Evan was puzzled, he didn't understand why the informant would need the memories of a complete stranger. Moreover, Evan didn't understand how the memories could be a price, though he assumed it was all about the man's unusual eye.
”Yes, it is. And if that doesn't suit you, then get out of here. How many of your memories I'll look at depends on the price of the question. The more valuable the information is, the more memories I'll want to look at.”
”So you're not going to steal my memories. You're just getting inside my head, but why do you do that? What's the use of a random person's memories?” Evan asked.
”AHAHAHAHAHA, it's obvious, I'm a collector! I collect memories, I think I'm the only one of my kind.” The man replied loudly.
At that moment, Evan realized his question had been a foolish one.
<Damnit, he's an informant, obviously, by looking through the memories of others, he can learn about a huge number of things. His strange conditions confused me a little. What's more, from the looks of it, he's not going to use any special spell, his eye will do all the work. I wonder how he's got that ability.>
”You do charge an unusual fee, indeed. But I'll ask my question first.” Evan said calmly. If the informant would tell him how to find the ”Demonic Tree” members, he was willing to let this man look at his memories.
The man didn't answer anything and just nodded affirmatively.
”I'll be brief, where can I find members of the ”Demonic Tree” and how do I join this organization,” Evan said coldly. If the informant didn't give him an answer, Evan would just kill him.
The man looked at Evan with a thoughtful face and said slowly: ”Your question really isn't an easy one. I don't know where the members of the ”Demonic Tree” are now, they're a very secretive organization, and they don't leave any witnesses. But, there have been some rumors recently that will definitely interest you.”
”The price?”
The informant smirked: ”I want to look at all your memories, you're pretty young and hardly had time to see much of this world.”
<Maybe, kill him and be done with it?> Evan thought after hearing the informant's demand.
Evan was puzzled by request. There were a hundred times more memories in his head than the informant could have even imagined. Moreover, they were the memories of three different people: his former, his present, and the memories of the body's previous owner.
Evan smiled and said: ”Okay, I think you'll be surprised, but goods first or you'll get nothing. I assure you, you will regret it if you miss this chance.”
The informant hesitated, normally the customers didn't put any conditions on him. He was always the one in charge of the whole process. In his opinion, though, Evan wouldn't be able to go away anyway. There were many more formations set up in this building, and unlike the one in the hall, they were combat, not a simple test for the clients.
”Okay, you win. But, don't flatter yourself, it's just a rumor, and most of what I'm about to tell you may be just fiction.”
”As I said before, the ”Demonic Tree” is a very secretive organization, and they conduct their business very quietly and inconspicuously. If you've delved a little deeper into the matter, I think you've already known that there is something they're looking for. It's an easy guess. The only thing left to do is find out exactly where the ”Demonic Tree” members are right now.
