Chapter 289: Seeking Help
Saying goodbye to Osiris, Karoso and Saaya arrived at the Moonlit Beauty Tavern.
To be honest, this was the first time the two had a good conversation, and both Karoso and Saaya felt it was quite new.
Of course, having a good chat was only how it looked to outsiders; both were cautious of each other.
Saaya only felt that having Osiris as a shield made Karoso hesitate to take any action against him.
Karoso ordered an expensive drink and sat across from Saaya.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Saaya asked with a frown.
"There is a strategic question I can’t solve, and I want Second Brother to help me figure it out," Karoso said without turning red or out of breath.
"A strategic question?" Saaya didn’t believe Karoso needed his help to solve it; he suspected there was a deeper reason, but Karoso wasn’t showing it.
Under Saaya’s watchful gaze, Karoso really took out several sheets of paper filled with writing and handed them to Saaya.
Although Saaya was confused, he still began to read normally.
"Hmm… this strategic question is a bit complicated. Which forces are involved? Are most of them neutral?" Saaya rubbed his chin. "Let me see the time frame; is it set in the Age of the Gods? During that time, the Church of the Goddess of the Night was incredibly powerful, surpassing many others, and while other churches had hidden conflicts, they didn’t dare to openly confront the Church of the Goddess of the Night."
"But if the Church of the Goddess of the Night falls out of favor, everyone can unite against it. The Church of the Goddess of the Night… has so many resources at its disposal!"
Karoso believed that for this event’s strategy, it could simply be turned into a game, and if a gaming expert tackled it, the best strategy could be provided in just a few days.
But, netizens are only skilled at playing games. Even if they are professionals, they cannot fully understand the complex relationships between nobles, the church, and professional guilds. It is not something data can clarify.
Human nature cannot be measured by data, but it can be guessed by people.
To put it simply, this needs to be solved by a strategist of this world.
"Let me see, a conspiracy sparked by a gamble, that sounds interesting…" Saaya stroked his chin, "These three people are at the heart of this incident, right?"
"Yes," Karoso nodded.
"Three sixth-tier, a bit weak, but this sixth-tier can mobilize quite a bit of power…" Saaya frowned and looked, "Hmm, the strategic goal is to destroy these two surfaces, along with the neutral forces, while also carefully revealing the inner secrets… It’s like exposing the dark side of the Church of the Goddess of the Night without letting them retaliate."
"Wow, do you really want to test me?"
Saaya suddenly looked at Karoso.
Saaya has never neglected his personal training, but his talent is not as strong as Karoso’s, which is a hard truth.
In terms of personality, Osiris is stricter in training Karoso and allows Saaya more freedom.
It’s like a good seed thrown into a poor high school; it has almost no hope of growing.
Of course, self-discipline is also a significant factor; Saaya is not as self-disciplined as Karoso.
Both of them have weaknesses; Saaya’s weakness is being lustful, and Karoso’s weakness is being vain.
As mentioned before, Karoso tries to cover up the fact that he wet his pants with blood to avoid embarrassment, showing how much he cares about his image.
"Please guide me, Second Brother." Karoso placed his hand on the materials he had organized and covered with strategic questions.
"Ha, it seems you want to compete with me on this." Saaya thought to himself, it won’t be that easy.
Is he trying to take away some of my power?
For example, by challenging me and recording it for Father to see, ultimately achieving his goal.
Damn, if I go to the Dragon Knight, I will really fall into his trap. When the beauty is in his arms, how can I compare with him?
Or maybe he thinks I have many important things to do in Laria and wants to slow me down. Perhaps he came to see me as a test; he wants to find out what I am doing…
My earlier conversation with the Second Prince also put a lot of pressure on him.
Hehe, playing like this is more fun!
"Second Brother, are you scared?" Karoso stared at Saaya.
He doesn’t care which level Saaya is on; he is on the first layer, and he needs a tactical master like Saaya to help him clear his thoughts.
Don’t be fooled by how Saaya usually struggles against Karoso; that’s just because his opponent is Karoso.
This is someone who can unite with the Second Prince, outsmart Osiris, and get Karoso imprisoned.
"Let’s play together!" Saaya put away his usual carefree attitude and became serious.
He casually took out a card and tossed it into the air.
[Name: Arcane Intellect]
[Type: Spell]
[Star Level: 3]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Occupational Restriction: Wizard]
[Description: Makes your mind clearer]
This is why wizards can translate ancient texts and have deeper knowledge.
They have the special ability to use magic to boost their alertness, which other professions do not have.
Even if there is, the improvement is not as great as a wizard’s.
Blue light sparkled in Saaya’s eyes.
He glanced at the question again, and the cup of wine in front of him remained untouched.
Soon, Saaya began to close his eyes and think deeply.
The surrounding noise seemed to disappear at that moment; no one could influence him, as if he had entered a sage mode.
No, this is the true sage mode.
In Saaya’s mind, there were no messy thoughts, only a complex strategy problem.
For three full hours, a clear plan gradually took shape in Saaya’s mind.
"First, it should be like this, to let this person see the conspiracy hidden in this gamble…" Saaya began to explain little by little, "At the very least, I need to make her disappointed with this gambling competition, then smoothly lead her to see darker things. It must involve coincidence; otherwise, if she gets framed, her supporters won’t sit still, and it could even cause a chain reaction. This coincidence cannot be guided by someone; she must discover it herself."
"Do you know about magic? There is a kind of magic trick called suggestion, for example, when you let someone casually look at a phrase often, and after some time, they will think of that phrase."
Karoso nodded slightly.
"Then… like this, like this…"
Karoso listened carefully; Saaya’s suggestions were definitely useful.
"Wait, something is wrong here. If we look for this eighth-tier assistant, will it center attention on her?" When Karoso and Saaya had a disagreement, Karoso quickly pointed it out.
"There is a sixty percent chance of success. With such a complicated strategy, a sixty percent chance is enough to keep things moving forward; that means it’s right!" Saaya said decisively, "This is the result I carefully calculated."
