Summoner of Miracles

"What is it?"

Rozen dragged Argo to the restaurant's corner.

"What are you dragging me here for? I rarely had fun ever since coming here, make it short, okay?"

Argo seemed disgruntled, but Rozen didn't care at all.

"I have one thing to ask you." Rozen said.

Argo then sighed and looked even more disgruntled.

"Do we really have to talk about business even now?"

Rozen rolled his eyes and quickly went straight to the point.

"I want to know about Diavel, cough up everything you know about him." Rozen then reminded Argo: "Don't forget, you owe me a favor, and this one better be free."

Rozen decided to use that favor right now.

"Diavel?" Argo frowned, and then she looked at Rozen in the eye and said seriously "Tomorrow is the Floor Boss Raid, and you want the information about another commander for the Floor Boss Raid?"

Of course this could cause a misunderstanding.

"So, no?"

Rozen who was too lazy to explain his reason just went straight to the point.

Argo gave in.

"Alright, alright." Argo raised her hand and said, "If it's you, there should be nothing to worry about. I will tell you what i know."

After that, Argo began to explain.

This information broker really got it covered. Even though Rozen only asked Diavel's information just now, but Argo has already done his research about Diavel.

No, In fact it was because what Rozen asked was Diavel's information that Argo was prepared.

Argo has already investigated Diabelle because he was the one who initiated the Floor Boss Raid Strategy meeting, and he was the leader of the party that found the Boss Room, he was also the one who asked Argo to invite the high level players to attend the strategy meeting.

Thanks to Argo's early preparation, she could tell Rozen about what she knew.

"Diavel was one of the players who took an early start after this death game officially started. He even convinced his party members to muster their courage to leave the Town of Beginnings. Thanks to him, his party managed to reach all the way to labyrinth area, and they might be one of the strongest if not the strongest party in SAO at the moment."

"Perhaps it's because Diavel has played various games before SAO, he seems quite skilled and experienced in leading a large team, but he's really bold, just like a beta tester, he led his party to an area with high-level monsters and villages with limited and hidden quest right from the start, racking a lot of exp and Cor."

In most cases, only beta testers could trigger these quests since they already knew ahead where the NPC and the condition to trigger the quest.

However, Diavel even took these quests ahead of the beta testers, which seemed quite suspicious.

"Thanks to him, his party members could have a high level and equipments. Diavel himself is at level 12 now, which was above the average of frontline player's level. He used One-Handed Sword, but unlike you and Kirito, he used a shield, the strongest shield in this floor i'd say."

Argo casually told Rozen the detailed information about Diavel to Rozen. Perhaps, nothing could be hidden from this girl.

However, Rozen was listening carefully to Argo's explanation word by word.

And, he noticed the most important points.

"Bold like a beta tester?"

"And he used a one-handed sword?"

"One of the earliest players who left the Town of Beginnings?"

Rozen murmured these improtant information that Argo just mentioned.

Then, Rozen suddenly interrupted Argo.

"I have a question." Rozen looked directly at Argo and asked: "Who is the player who wanted to buy my weapon?"

Argo's explanation abruptly ended.

That was not part of the deal, since that was not related to Diavel's information.

"Your client paid you 1000 Cor for a hush money, right?" Rozen then added straightforwardly: "I'll pay you 5000 Cor, but don't inform him about this, what do you say?"

This was quite unreasonable.

Although Rozen knew Argo valued money above all else, his request this time went against Argo's policy.

However, when Argo saw Rozen's serious eyes and expression, she realized this question was very important for him.

Argo pondered for a while and then sighed.

"Alright then, just this once, there's no second time, you hear me?" Argo raised her index finger and reminded Rozen.

After that, Argo also added.

"You don't have to pay, but if you do me a favor, i'll tell you."

Rozen nodded without hesitation

Argo just sighed and mentioned a name.

"It was Kibaou."

"He was the one who asked me to be the middleman to buy your sword and tamed monster."

The unexpected name was revealed in the mouth of Argo.

"Him?"

Rozen was surprised when he heard that name.

However, at the same time, the dots suddenly connected with each other, and Rozen finally understood the reason behind this strange transaction.

Rozen then asked Argo's confirmation.

"Is he also the guy who wants to buy Kirito's weapon?"

Argo was surprised when she heard Rozen's question.

"How do you know?"

That made it clear.

Rozen closed his eyes.

"So that's what happened…"

"What happened?"

Argo, who seemed to notice the change in Rozen's expression, asked Rozen.

"No, it's nothing, don't worry about it."

Rozen shook his head, and instead of telling him what was on his mind, he asked Argo in order to change the topic.

"So, what do you want me to do?"
