Half an hour later, All-Knowing stepped out of the Mist of Time Auction House.
However, regarding this seemingly foolproof transaction, both Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan still had a lingering thought in their minds.
Of course, this thought had been maximized.
Given All-Knowing's survival principles and the various known subjective and objective conditions, the two ultimately reached a consensus—All-Knowing was indeed guaranteed to profit!
This was likely someone else's commission. In other words, All-Knowing was merely an intermediary who received payment to relay information. The coordinates of the dragon involved in the transaction were likely known to his Employer as well, and the various leniency conditions did not pertain to All-Knowing or his organization.
To put it simply, from the moment this transaction was finalized, All-Knowing had already made a profit.
As for how this transaction would proceed or whether it could be completed smoothly, it no longer had anything to do with All-Knowing.
The question remained: who exactly was the Employer behind All-Knowing?
From this transaction, it was clear that the other party had an urgent need for Guild Tokens. Yet they did not dare to approach Yi Tianchen or Liu Yuhan directly; instead, they sought out All-Knowing, an influential information broker in the Online Game, as an intermediary. This suggested that the other party's identity must be significant and possibly even involved in some disputes with Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan, or even the entire Mist of Time Guild.
However, the two also noticed another point…
If during this Dragon Slayer battle they failed to obtain a Guild Token, according to the information relayed by All-Knowing, there was a grace period allowing them to secure a Guild Token within seven days for the transaction to be considered valid.
Here lay two key points.
First, for a being like a dragon at the pinnacle of the boss hierarchy, could it really be as simple as just obtaining a Guild Token?
One must understand that even if a dragon did not drop a Guild Token, it could still yield coveted artifacts that all players would envy!
Yet the other party focused entirely on the Guild Token and had no additional demands regarding artifacts. It could be said that their sole purpose in approaching Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan for this transaction was entirely centered around that Guild Token.
Second was the deadline: seven days!
It was not three days, nor ten days, but precisely seven days. This held a special significance in the game "Zero Era."
For instance, after a guild fails in the Guild War, it must wait seven days before it can reform a new guild or establish a new Guild Base.
After gathering several hypotheses and speculations, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan reached the conclusion that the All-Knowing's employer must be someone of considerable status, likely a leader from one of the powerful guilds that had just participated in the Guild War against Divine Silence.
Looking at the current situation...
If anyone suffered the most losses in this Server-wide Guild War, it was undoubtedly Qianye and his Righteousness Above All guild.
If anyone was eagerly anticipating obtaining a Guild Token, it was also Qianye and his Righteousness Above All guild.
Due to their defeat against Divine Silence, Righteousness Above All not only lost their Guild Base but also countless assets and the trust of various factions. This was extremely detrimental for Righteousness Above All, which aspired to become the Server-wide First Guild.
Thus, Righteousness Above All needed to recover as quickly as possible.
...
"No way! Could it really be Righteousness Above All?"
After hearing Liu Yuhan's summary, Proud Dragon was the first among the core members of Mist of Time guild called to the meeting to express disbelief.
"President, why don't you share your thoughts along with the boss's?" Yesterday's Fireworks suggested, already deep in thought.
Liu Yuhan glanced at Yi Tianchen beside her and smiled lightly. "Let's have Tianchen speak."
"Based on this transaction, I have three points of view..."
Yi Tianchen stood up, getting straight to the point without any preamble. "First, Qianye is indeed a person of significant influence. His Righteousness Above All is ranked third in guild strength. Even though they lost in this battle against Divine Silence, their position as the third strongest guild will remain unshaken for a long time."
"Second, there is Divine Silence Dust Fate and his Divine Silence..."
"Divine Silence has held the position of the strongest guild for quite some time now, and its foundation is not something any other guild can easily shake. However, we need to consider one point: after the public provocation from Righteousness Above All, Divine Silence Dust Fate will undoubtedly take significant action in the days to come. This battle has shown him that if Divine Silence wants to maintain its position as the strongest guild, it must further develop and grow."
"The third point is based on Mist of Time..."
"We?" Li Tielong paused, somewhat confused. "What does this have to do with us?"
"On the surface, it indeed seems unrelated!" Yi Tianchen explained. "After all, our guild cannot yet compare to giants like Divine Silence, War God Hall, or Righteousness Above All. Even Supreme Alliance and Kings have a noticeable gap with Mist of Time. But Mist of Time is currently at various crossroads; our rapid rise is something they must pay attention to at all times."
"In fact, behind this transaction lies a hidden message of goodwill!"
"Boss, are you saying that if this transaction is truly manipulated by Qianye, the reason they have no other demands and are using the coordinates of a giant dragon as the basis for the trade is actually to convey their intention of goodwill towards us from their Righteousness Above All guild?" The Terminator of Regrets frowned, feeling a bit alarmed by this conclusion.
After all, being a fence-sitter is not an easy position.
In the previous battle, Liu Yuhan and Mist of Time had openly sided with Divine Silence led by Divine Silence Dust Fate. If this speculation holds true and Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan accept this transaction, wouldn't that imply that Mist of Time also has suspicions of siding with Qianye's Righteousness Above All?
"One could say that!"
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly, leaving everyone present feeling somewhat conflicted.
