[VRMMO] Dead One

"…"

"And that is all we know about them or suspected them." – said ClownFrog after finishing explaining about the organization.

"As for their goal, as mentioned before, I think they are possible aiming for the items related to the "Forgotten World"."

"That is also the whole reason why they did it all."

"…"

"So you are saying, that they committed atrocities, crimes and madness… Just to possible obtain the destroyed item from the Forgotten World that had completely lost its power?" - asked witch Olga.

"Pretty much… Their desperation in the castle also proven it." – said ClownFrog.

"Their aim didn't seemed like destruction of the Oin empire, but more like an bonus? Or maybe something they needed to deal with along the way?"

"Either way, all had proven so far that the third prince was nothing more than disposable pawn in their hands."

"End of a story."

"That is all we know about them, as well as their possible goals and stuff."

"And this is also all we know about that moon elf."

"Sorry to disappoint you all, but this is really it. We don't know anything else at all and so far, after the war, there was no sights of them even making any move or showing sights of life."

"Its been way too quiet…. Honestly, there is an chance that they are not here anymore or there is an chance that they are hiding in some neighboring kingdom, waiting for their chance to strike."

"So honestly, considering their actions and behavior, they maybe still around, hiding. They may had been working with some neighboring kingdoms or they had managed to get themselves in position of power within some kingdom."

"And the most annoying part about them is how they are able to keep themselves hidden perfectly and they were also able to appear out of a blue with an whole army."

"It was an time of war and stuff, but still, neither us or the Oin empire found anything."

"So yea. This is all we know and speculate."

"…"

"Well…. Its better then nothing…." – said witch Olga.

"…"

(Still… What do we do?) – though the elderly witch.

(Is he telling an truth? Or maybe hiding something?)

"…"

"What about the "staff"? Can I see it?"

"No. Sorry, but the "Staff" is currently locked and I cannot grant you an access to even go near it." – replied ClownFrog.

"Shame…." – said the elderly witch.

"…"

"Well… Is it possible if we can talk with the miss Lil here alone?"

"…" – ClownFrog and Lil looked at each other, before Lil nodded her head.

"Sure. Lets go Oron." – said ClownFrog before then standing up alongside Oron and leaving the room.

"…"

"Is this about that recruitment offer again?" – asked Lil.

"Well…. Yea." – replied old witch.

"However, the situation changed…. All because of the moon elf… Or should I say the high moon elf Majo M'uq."

"Honestly, you maybe screwed."

"And its all because of the fact that you share that never before seen imaginary magic type."

"We don't know how she got her hands on it or how she completely changed her imaginary magic type, with should had been impossible."

"However, the fact remains that you two are the sole users of this imaginary magic type, with does not put you on the good light among the witches, since you may…. Well, people may think you two are working together."

"I know it sound stupid and all, but there are always stupid people around, no matter the nations or realm."

"The second is the research regarding your imaginary element magic type."

"There is an chance that there is something weird going on."

"And there is also the other thing we need to investigate regarding you."

"Specifically the location where you found Witch Legacy and also about the whole ring…. It just doesn't make sense."

"…"

"Actually…. There is more." – said Lil as she took out an notebook from her inventory.

"?"

"What is this?" – asked elderly witch.

"An notebook that was in the box alongside Witch Legacy and ring."

"?!"

"Wait, hold on! You never told me anything about this!" – said the witch of perfumes.

"Well, yea, obviously we still didn't trusted you enough and stuff. Why I should reveal one of more important pieces of evidence?" – asked Lil.

"…"

"Can we see it?" – asked elderly witch.

"Nope…. And I don't mean like "No, you can't see it, because I don't want you to", but because I can't. The book is sealed." – said Lil.

"We tried getting rid of the seal…. But there was an problem."

"The seal is also doubles downs as explosion."

"We noticed this thing in last moment and stuff… With it is problematic."

"Apparently the note book needs an "Key" to be opened and any "illegal" ways of removing the seal will cause the book to be…. Well, destroyed."

"…."

"And before you even ask, the answer is "No", we cannot give you the notebook."

"Look, you maybe hunting that whole ass criminal who is also very likely related to me, but there is problem that we are dealing with extremely dangerous terrorist group."

"And here is the question, what would "I" gain from working with you?"

"If it is about changing sides to be working with you, then forget it."

"Your organization is also still shady and unknown to me."

"Hell, we don't know if any of the information you had given us are real or not in the first place and we also just met, so if you think logically, you can get where I'm coming from with this."

"So before we continue, I want to hear downsides and upsides of the whole deal."

"…"

"Well…." – the witch tired saying something before then stopping.

"…"

(Oh wow. That stupid bitch did gave us bad image, didn't she?) – though the elderly witch as she stared at the witch of perfumes with annoyed look.

(Still…. She isn't wrong… Taking her back to the Sabath isn't the greeted proposition, since she is needed here.)

(Witchcraft completion? Turning her fully into the witch?)

"…"

(Nah, the higher ups may not agree with this, considering what I just found out…. Hell, they may just lock her or something in order to experiment on her.)

(But they also can't do it since she is an high ranking position noble and important figure of the empire…. There is also the notebook.)

(Dammit! There is too much on the stake here…. And there is also that organization…..)

(….)

(We need both Garog empire cooperation and Lil working with us…. But the question is: How do we do it?)

"…"

"Well… I will talk to the higher ups about this…. Depending on how this goes, we may offer you a lot…. But honestly speaking, this may take an while for them to decide anything, since politics and other annoying stuff will be talked about…"

*Sigh*

"Sorry, but can we have more time? This will be annoying and will take us sometime before we can come up with an proper proposal and stuff."

"…"

"Well, I will ask ClownFrog." – said Lil before few moments later brining in ClownFrog alongside Oron and then explaining the whole situation.

"I understand. I will keep up covering the cover of your stay for the time being and take all the time you need." – said ClownFrog.

"But remember to not cause any "trouble", you understand that, don't you?"

"Yes." – replied the elderly witch.

"However, there is also one more thing we need to say."

"There is an good chance that higher ups may decided to do something like an "talk" with you or maybe "work together" regarding something, so…."

"…"

"I understand." – replied ClownFrog.

"Thank you emperor ClownFrog. We will make sure to wrap it up as soon as possible." – said the witch before then bowing her head with other two witches and then getting escorted out of the room and then castle as whole.

"…"

*Sigh*

"Politics, politics, politics and more politics…. Why the hell it doesn't end? First politics with neighboring kingdoms and now some organization…. Nice." – said annoyed and tired sounding ClownFrog.

"Anyway, you good? Anything you need to talk about?"

"Nope. There was nothing that needs to be mentioned that you already don't know….."

"Still…. Their whole story. Do you believe it?"

"Honestly…. I do." – replied ClownFrog.

"And there is also the name had hit me as an "ODD"."

"Medea."

"I know her. She is from the Greek mythology."

"Is this just coincidence like it was with Hera? That her name is just coincidence."

"But based on the information, there is maybe an chance that there is an bigger meaning behind it…. And we also know that the "BENEFACTOR" possible looks for the items from the Forgotten World." – said Oron.

"Even if its not, then the fact remains that "WE DON'T KNOW" what that book she had stolen contains."

"Still, we need to work with the witches."

"We had FINALY obtained some real clue about the organization, something that WE can use to possible find out more about them."

"Hell! If the entire story about her being the most wanted criminal in their organization, the witches may lead us to her and in turn, to the "benefactor"."

"I'd say we work with the witches… But it's also good idea to keep an eye on them as well. Just for safety."

"Yeb…. I wholly agree with you mate." – said ClownFrog.

"But there is also another thing that we need to watch out for."

"The tournament."

"Its just around the corner, so we should also start getting slowly for it."

"…"

*Sigh*

(And here I though there would be some "peace" before the tournament came…. "NICE".)
