CHAPTER 26

"Follow me then.", Garcia said. Definitely, I thought, this Garcia was experienced. I will get to know how to destroy this Empire easily.

"OK, let's go.", Rachel said. They went to a slum valley near the inn, and found a brothel at the other end of the alley. Atleast, this part of his life looked like the novels he read, Arata thought.

"Huh ? Brothel, Arata seems to want to do something here….", Rachel said.

"Huh ? Is that the standard novel line, you had to say it huh ?", Arata said.

That shop right there. That's our destination. They are the best gatherers of information. They have accurate data and they cost a lot. But I feel you have enough. Why don't you guys go to them ?

So Arata and Rachel enter that small shop. It was very dusty around and there were two beauties on the stand. Their names were Kell and Bell and collected the information. They were really skilled in collecting information while they were in action. As they were beauties, they could easily please the nobles and gather insider information pretty easily. They also had a wide variety of an information network.

"Are you guys from the Alvarez Empire ?", is the first thing that they asked as soon as Rachel and Arata entered.

"Looks like your information network is pretty good. So what do you think ?", Arata asked.

"Hmmm… I don't really care about which country I live in and personally want to go see the Alvarez Empire. The information from there is very less. People say there are monsters living in that place, that it is a demon territory, but I don't think so. There are strong people present, and they know how to manage a country. Clover is not the only kingdom which can lead us.

Clover Kingdom was the most advanced kingdom in the time period. They had various Scientific achievements and had an orderly system of governance. Closest to the clover is Spade kingdom, who share harmony.

"I know what information you want. The king, Wimbeldon III is guarded in the palace hall. There are 3 great generals, who live on the bottom floor. And at the top floor, Wimbeldon III, his mother, Queen Keerthi and the rest of them are palace guards. The Wimbeldon family is pretty small, and mostly the order is followed by the Wimbeldon III. Ministers are not present, and no one is capable.

"Hmmm.. That is easier I guess. We will do it now only I guess.", Arata said thinking.

"Are you sure ? There is no one worthy in this country ?", Arata asked.

"There are brothers of his Majesty Wimbeldon III who are assigned different territories, and we are dependent on Brittania on Scientific development. And Brittania is dependent on The Clover. Plus, When the Alvarez Empire came to existence, 75 % of territory was from Gustak, so this is actually not a country, more like a Guinea pig for others to manipulate.", Kell answered.

"Oh, I see. That's no fun.", Rachel said.

"But, we have information worth your information that will make your life easier.", Bell said.

"What is it ?", Arata asked.

"Information on Brittania. King Brittania is a dictator but is very capable. He has 5 ministries - Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Alchemy, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Home affairs.", Bell said.

That is pretty advanced, Arata thought. Through these ministries, everyone's demands could be fulfilled. Business must be less in there, so there are no trade Ministries, maybe Gustak manages it for them. It is a symbiotic relationship.

"Here are there information, their pictures and their locations.", Kell said while handing them some documents.

"Oh thanks."

"We will leave. Here you go.", Arata said while giving 400 Gustak Gold to them.
