Chapter 2576 - 1125: Who Is Really Threatening Whom
"Sorry, I don’t know much more about him than you do." The Wealth Goddess Woken said apologetically, "I dragged you into this."
"Lady, there’s no need for such formalities. We’re family now, and helping each other is what we should do, isn’t it?"
Gaven responded with a smile, "We’ve been able to outplay Prince Ubar, forcing him to sign an alliance under duress and imprison himself for a hundred years. Are we going to be bitten to death by a dog?
If you don’t know him, that’s alright, we have people here who do."
"Indeed, from now on we are family." The Wealth Goddess’s heart was long melted, "You mean Marreta?"
"Yes." Gaven nodded in agreement, "She is the secret Controller of Prince Grazte of the Ubar and certainly holds many of the prince’s secrets, including those of his loyal pet."
The Wealth Goddess kindly reminded him: "These demons regard lies and betrayal as the norm. You cannot completely trust what they say just because you used Undead Divine Power to control them."
"I understand." Gaven acknowledged with understanding, "If we only controlled Marreta herself, it would indeed be troublesome. But now that we have nine of them, it’s simpler.
With the same matter, take nine pieces of information, authenticate them against each other, and we can filter out information useful to us."
As he spoke, he had already communicated through the Faith Link, transmitting a message to Daphne, asking her to personally oversee the task, believing that it wouldn’t take long to get satisfactory results.
When it comes to lying, the Dwarves Elf are even stronger than demons.
Daphne, born a cultist, is skilled in interrogation.
Upon receiving the oracle, Daphne immediately appeared like a ghost in front of the Succubus Manipulator, a false and benevolent smile on her face: "The master wants intelligence on the Voice of Grazte, Veen."
The Succubus Manipulator unhesitatingly unfolded her Demon Wings, illuminating countless demon runes like eyes, finally concentrating on one and transforming into an emerald green scroll.
Marreta respectfully handed it to Daphne: "Madam, this contains all intelligence on the Voice of Grazte, please deliver it to the master."
The demeanor was as submissive as could be, and as obedient as could be.
As Prince Grazte of the Ubar’s most favored mistress, her reliance wasn’t just on her formidable power, but also on her exceptional political acumen.
Entering a new environment, the priority is not resistance but finding ways to integrate into it and understanding the power dynamics.
"Very well, I hope all the intelligence you provide is truthful." Daphne warned.
Her words revealed traces of disappointment.
Disappointed by the other party’s straightforwardness, denying her the opportunity to make an example.
Given the other party’s pragmatism, the probability of presenting real intelligence is as high as ninety-nine percent, offering no opportunity for exploitation.
"What I provide is definitely true intelligence from my end." The Succubus Manipulator assured confidently, "But I can’t guarantee that everything recorded here is accurate, as the Voice of Grazte is a Mind Transmitter skilled in mental contact and control.
He’s proficient in psychic swaps, often using his formidable mind to occupy other creatures’ bodies for deception and trickery.
Much of the external understanding of him is merely smoke screens released by him.
There’s a significant chance that the intelligence I’ve gathered is inherently flawed."
She was preemptively cushioning the blow.
Though her time in the Castle of Shadows was short, she had already grasped the operational patterns here.
This is like a mini God Kingdom, with Gaven having absolute control, and this Dwarves Elf in front of her being the real Governor.
Though Undead Power dominates, the nature of the Law here is not Chaotic Evil, but tends towards absolute neutrality.
This means that even the real Controller cannot act arbitrarily, and without reason, cannot suppress others at will.
The only thing to do is not give them that opportunity.
"Intelligence is never a hundred percent accurate; we will discern it." Daphne, who came on a high, left in a rush and disappointment, just to verify the information with the other eight gun cavalry.
As one of the oldest followers of Gaven, Daphne naturally understands his disposition best, aware of what he despises most—boundless internal strife.
The arrival of Succubus Manipulator Marreta indeed posed considerable pressure to her.
But it didn’t reach the point of shaking her position.
This is Gaven’s personal domain where status is based not on power, but on loyalty and wisdom.
In terms of strength and wisdom, the Succubus Manipulator is excellent, even at the pyramid’s peak throughout the Multiverse.
But when it comes to loyalty, she first must find a way to dispel the prejudice stemming from her demon origin.
In this regard, Daphne has experienced it profoundly, having exhausted efforts to erode most of it, yet thoroughly eliminating it is impossible.
It’s determined by their origins.
After repeated verifications, the result left Daphne’s personal hopes utterly dashed.
None of the nine succubi and half-succubi were fools; they all earnestly disclosed the information they had, displaying a knowing and unreserved attitude.
They weren’t the type to suffer without reason.
Betraying their father and sisters posed them no psychological burden, let alone a dog raised by their father.
The intelligence held by Succubus Manipulator Marreta was the most detailed; most information held by the gun cavalry was part of what she provided, with much being repetitive.
