Chapter 617

Four hundred and fortieth Hiring

“You hire me… It also counts as relying on external forces, can this be considered a neutral stance?”

“How could it not be? Miss Neighbor, you do not belong to any of the secret forces I know. You are full of mysteries, almost no one knows your background. I believe there is no one in the entire Castia Secret World who knows you. Therefore, you can become anyone. As long as you do not make a fuss after completing the task, you can become our strength.”

Beverly’s response appeared on the pages of “Navigation of the Literary Sea.” Seeing such a response, Dorothy silently nodded. She thought deeply and then continued writing with her pen.

“Then… If I accept your employment and complete the task, what kind of reward will you give me afterward? Facing the Dark Gold Society in Trua surely carries significant risks. What can you offer to make me take this risk?”

“Of course, we can provide what you want. Aren’t you very interested in the Star Number Repair Association’s legacy? Well, because of years of accumulation, our White Stone Craftsmen Guild’s main workshop also holds quite a few items related to the Repair Association, and we have some intelligence about them. If you can help us resolve the trouble in Trua, then our upper echelons, including the old man, might be able to answer some of your questions about the Star Number, or even give you some items.”

Beverly’s quick reply appeared on the page. Seeing these responses, Dorothy couldn’t help but widen her eyes. If she could obtain valuable intelligence about the Star Number Repair Association from the White Stone Craftsmen Guild, she could continue exploring the path of advancement. This was a rare opportunity for her, as she had been struggling to find clues.

Beverly’s response stirred Dorothy’s interest, but she still had lingering doubts, so she continued writing.

“Your proposal is good, I indeed need intelligence related to the Repair Association, but this is just your personal proposal. It doesn’t represent the decision of the entire Craftsmen Guild, right? Can you persuade the guild headquarters to agree to this employment?”

Dorothy wrote this, thinking that Beverly was only the head of Tivyán. Such matters in Trua should not be decided by her. Why did she propose this without reporting? She couldn’t represent the guild headquarters.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. Based on my understanding of the main workshop, they will definitely agree with my proposal. The key is whether you accept it or not. In short, as long as you accept the employment and complete the task, we can assist you in exploring the Star Number Repair Association.”

Beverly wrote with great certainty. Seeing Beverly’s confident words, Dorothy couldn’t help but stroke her chin. Although she didn’t understand why Beverly dared to speak on behalf of their headquarters, based on their harmonious neighborly relationship, she decided to trust Beverly once.

“Alright, I accept this employment… I will try to confront those black merchants before they run away…”

“Very good. Then your task is to k*ll as many members of the Dark Gold Society in Trua as possible, especially the leaders. Dealing with such a scale of bases like Trua, these guys probably have one or two people at the White Chalk tier, with considerable strength. You need to be careful. If you feel you can’t handle it, you can give up. No one is forcing you.”

Beverly’s response continued to appear in front of Dorothy. At this point, Dorothy had already decided to confront the Dark Gold Society. What she needed now was more intelligence about the Dark Gold Society.

“If I can’t handle them, I will withdraw, so I need more detailed reports about these guys. Can you tell me what a Wall-crosser becomes at the White Chalk tier? I need detailed intelligence about their extraordinary abilities.”

Under the light, Dorothy carefully asked Beverly. To deal with the enemies of the Dark Gold Society, Beverly began to describe in detail the information about the extraordinary journey of Wall-crossers, particularly emphasizing the White Chalk tier. However, after seeing the abilities of Wall-crossers at the White Chalk tier, Dorothy’s expression became increasingly serious.

If Beverly’s intelligence was correct, then the abilities of Wall-crossers at the White Chalk tier were incredibly strong. Just reading the descriptions, Dorothy believed that a Wall-crosser at the White Chalk tier was among the strongest she had ever encountered.

Not only that, the abilities of White Chalk Wall-crossers slightly restrained Dorothy, making it extremely difficult for her to defeat them.

“According to what Beverly said, are these abilities too strong? Can I really defeat them? Sigh… The key is that this time, I must face them directly. I can’t rely on others. If I could guide the official extraordinary forces like before, things would be simpler, but unfortunately, that’s not possible this time.”

Sitting in her seat, Dorothy frowned, recalling how in previous conflicts with various cults, she often relied on reporting and guiding the official extraordinary forces to strike the cults.

Carefully considering, although many White Chalks had fallen to her, most were not personally dealt with by her; she had used the strength of other forces.

For example, werewolf Alex was left crippled by the An Yin Bureau and then cleaned up by Adele, werewolf Smith was killed by the Church’s Holy War Knight, Larina from the Nether Coffin was caught by the An Yin Bureau, and recently, Costa and Massimo from the Abyss Cult were mainly handled by the Church; she only searched for the wounded Massimo.

Looking back, Dorothy almost always relied on reporting and guidance in her actions, but this time she couldn’t. The Craftsmen Guild did not want the official extraordinary forces to intervene in Trua’s Dark Gold Society, so she couldn’t report. Thus, she had to face the Dark Gold Society alone.

Directly confronting, Dorothy had not failed to eliminate a White Chalk before, such as when she killed Claudius, her first White Chalk, in a direct confrontation. But this time, she had Vania, the strongest force of the Rosy Cross under her, to help defeat Claudius, and Vania played an irreplaceable role in that battle. Without Vania, she wouldn’t have been able to k*ll Claudius at that time.

However, Vania had just left XiaTree and was far out at sea, quite a distance from Trua. It would take a considerable time for her to arrive. Under these circumstances, Dorothy couldn’t get Vania’s help, which significantly reduced her ability to confront directly.

“Unable to rely on the official extraordinary forces, and Vania isn’t around, under these conditions, it’s much harder to solve that group of Dark Gold Society members. What should I do?”
