The atmosphere in the meeting room froze.
Li Shuyi's expression changed. The laws of the Netherworld had repeatedly warned them not to reveal their identities as non-residents of the Netherworld. Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences!
She then looked at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen's expression was calm.
For some reason, Li Shuyi's emotions calmed down.
"When did Your Highness find out?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Nicholas replied, "It was in Maple City, right after our first meeting through the communication rune."
Bai Xiaowen asked, "Has Your Highness been suspicious of me since then?"
Nicholas shook his head. "No, but for someone like you who has risen to prominence, I definitely need to understand you to a certain extent …"
Nicholas took out a sealed report from a drawer. The words' Dior S Kail Bloom 'were written on it.
"The first report was very brief. It only mentioned Baron Dior S Kail Bloom's past, and that he had never shown any talent in magic. As for his sister, Charlotte, she was just an ordinary and delicate girl. However, during the battle at Maple City, many people mentioned that you were a powerful Magus, and that your sister had become a valiant warrior. The changes during this period are really too sudden. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
Nicholas continued, "And after you came to the Black Rock Stronghold, I paid close attention to you … … The military talent you displayed also surprised me. Moreover, the tactical ideas you came up with were very different from the ones we already have. While they were novel and effective, they were also very different. According to the records, Baron Dior S Kail Bloom had studied at a noble academy in the imperial capital. However, only his name was recorded in the records, and he did not show any outstanding military prowess. "
Nicholas smiled and concluded, "So, I'm sure that you're a traveller from another plane, and so is your sister. Don't be nervous. There have been travellers from other planes in other parts of the empire before, and they were all recorded in the imperial archives. You're not the first. "
Bai Xiaowen sighed softly, "Your Highness, no matter who I am, one thing has not changed. Everything I have done is for the sake of resisting the Sin Domain Allied Armies. "
As an Awakened who "cut in with a primitive identity", it was sometimes inevitable that their identity would be seen through by the natives.
If he wanted to obtain a relatively generous harvest in a short period of ten days, he would have to act in a high-profile manner. This would definitely not match the historical performance of his identity. The more he was in front of the higher-ups of the indigenous people, the easier it was for him to be seen through.
In the Cain Plane, which had a cultural background that included dimensional travel, people like Prince Nicholas could be considered as one of the higher-ups among the natives. He had a high IQ to begin with, and he had access to a large number of intelligence files. In addition, there were precedents of Awakened ones being seen through before …
It would be abnormal if he wasn't discovered.
Bai Xiaowen had considered the possibility of his identity being exposed, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
The reason was because of the general trend.
If the human camp dominated and suppressed the survivors, then visitors from another plane like Bai Xiaowen would be at risk of being caught and dissected for research. However, in the current Northern Frontier, the survivors had the upper hand, and it was a considerable advantage!
In addition, Bai Xiaowen had also shown his value in the process of fighting against the survivors, and his reputation was real.
Even if Prince Nicholas was curious about the other plane, he would not attack Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowen now. In order to fight against the Sin Domain Allied Armies and the Undead of Pestilence, he had to unite the forces of every human camp.
"Yes, I have seen everything you have done," Nicholas said, "but what I don't understand is, as a traveler from another plane, why are you working so hard for the human camp?"
Bai Xiaowen showed a deep expression, "Your Highness, because I am also a human."
Nicholas was silent for a moment, then he walked over and held Bai Xiaowen's hand, "Thank you."
"Of course, if I can get some remuneration when I assist Your Highness, I will not refuse." Bai Xiaowen coughed and said.
Li Shuyi showed an expression of "I knew it".
Nicholas was not surprised. For him, if Bai Xiaowen did not ask for anything, he would be worried. He said straightforwardly, "Well, what do you want from me?"
"Your Highness, I am very interested in the Ebon Edge Knights. I have been collecting the oaths of the Ebon Edge Knights, but they are all incomplete. I hope to get a complete version. "
Bai Xiaowen opened his mouth and asked for the "Oath of the Ebon Edge", a permanent team-building prop! If he could get it from Nicholas, he would not have to do the side quest.
Nicholas frowned and said, "What you want should be the magic scroll that carries the oaths of the Ebon Edge Knights. Every new Ebon Edge Knight will sign his own name on the magic scroll, and the oaths he makes have a strong binding force. However, there is only one complete version of the Oath of the Ebon Edge scroll, which is currently stored in the Imperial Capital and cannot be given to you. "
Bai Xiaowen could only settle for the next best thing. "Then give me a few more incomplete versions of the oaths." He took out a copy of the "Oath of Shattering" and showed it to Nicholas.
"That can be done …" Nicholas said with some sadness. "After I came to the Northern Frontier, some of the Ebon Edge Knights who followed me have fallen. I have also kept their oaths when they were alive. If they knew that these oaths when they were alive could contribute to the Human Alliance after death, they would be very gratified. "
After a pause, Nicholas said, "If you can help defend the Black Lava Fortress and hold on until the Imperial reinforcements arrive, I will give you all three oaths that I have kept."
Bai Xiaowen received a new mission notification:
"Main Mission: The War of the Black Lava Fortress has been updated."
"Mission Reward: Oath of Shattering x3."
Originally, the reward for this S-rank main mission was "unknown," which meant that the Awakened had to negotiate with the aborigines to obtain the mission reward. Now, with Nicholas' words, Bai Xiaowen had locked in the content of the mission reward in advance.
Three temporary team-building props that were as high as Level-6 were indeed worthy of the difficulty of an S-rank mission. Moreover, with seven Oaths of Shattering, he could piece together a copy of the "Oath of the Ebon Edge", which was a permanent team-building prop.
