Chapter 780: Chapter 778: Infiltration
Bobbobovic let out a big yawn, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and watched as the carriage disappeared down the street before turning to Richard who was also watching and asked, “Hey, are you sure we’re choosing this old guy as our target?”
It was already the Cool Month of September, and more than half a month had passed since he had met with Richard in the ancient castle.
During this period, they first “wasted” over a week in Jialan City, and after finally reaching Delan, they spent another week investigating.
Ultimately, after following a series of clues, they locked down several targets associated with the Truth Society, but Richard insisted on choosing the least capable among them, which frustrated Bobbobovic.
After letting out another yawn, Bobbobovic said, “Let’s not comment on this guy’s lifestyle for now, but his abilities are just too weak, right? I suspect that some younger Third-level Wizard Apprentices could take him down.
Can such a person really have access to the core of the Truth Society? Can he really know the secrets of the Truth Society? I don’t really believe it. The One-eyed Dragon in the East City would be a much better choice. If not him, that big fool in West City would also do.”
At this moment, compared to Bobbobovic, Richard appeared quite energetic. He had not caught the series of yawns from Bobbobovic.
Listening to Bobbobovic, he seriously responded, “I admit, the abilities of this target are overly weak. But, that is exactly why I chose him.”
“What we need to do is to infiltrate the Truth Society without drawing their attention. If we start with a target of strong capabilities, it would naturally be convenient but also apt to arouse their suspicion. It’s better to start with a target of weaker abilities. As for his lifestyle, well, he is an enemy to us. The more despicable he is, the more advantageous for us, isn’t it?”
“That also makes sense.” Bobbobovic nodded after hearing this, somewhat convinced, and then asked, “But can you really be sure that through him, we can truly infiltrate the Truth Society and learn their information?”
“Actually, through him alone, it’s quite difficult for us to achieve this,” Richard said. “However, the Truth Society is a rather strict organization with a complete hierarchy. Through him, we can connect with his supervisor. Through his supervisor, connect with higher-ups, step by step get in touch with the Truth Society, and ultimately infiltrate it.”
“How do you know all this?” Bobbobovic frowned. “I mean, after we arrived in Delan, haven’t we been investigating together all this time? Why do you know things that I don’t?”
“You forgot, I had prepared for a while in Jialan City.”
“But even with preparation, you couldn’t possibly know about Delan City while in Jialan, right? Or are you hiding something from me?” Bobbobovic furrowed his brows deeply.
Richard spread his hands and smiled at Bobbobovic without answering.
Bobbobovic pouted, “I knew you were hiding something!” While saying this bitterly, there was nothing he could do about it.
He was in a weaker position now and had to cooperate with Richard.
It was somewhat suffocating…
Meanwhile, Richard turned to look out the window again, watching the street outside slowly become lively, blinked, and pondered something.
Richard admitted that Bobbobovic was not wrong; he indeed had some secrets.
He knew more than Bobbobovic for one simple reason—he had obtained several Black Iron Rings from the hands of the Truth Society.
The Black Iron Ring contained some information, and after analyzing it, Richard gained a somewhat vague understanding of the Truth Society.
Because of this, he realized there were some differences between the Truth Society and the Supreme Order Divine Society.
The biggest difference was the quality of the members of the Truth Society, which was lower than that of the Supreme Order Divine Society.
On the East Coast, every member of the Supreme Order Divine Society might not be called a powerhouse, but they were definitely elite and difficult to deal with. Moreover, each of them possessed a Space Ring and the ability to resurrect. If it weren’t for his “Destructive Gloves,” he wouldn’t stand a chance.
However, on the Main Continent, the members of the Truth Society, although not low in rank, actually saw a decrease rather than an increase in real combat effectiveness, giving the impression of being less professional, like irregular troops. Moreover, only a minority of them possessed Space Rings, and their resurrection ability had not been confirmed, but it was very likely that not everyone was entitled to it.
However, the Truth Society did have one area where it far surpassed the Supreme Order Divine Society, which was in numbers.
From the dozens of people dispatched one after another to chase Sande, it could be inferred that the Truth Society was definitely larger in scale than the Supreme Order Divine Society on the East Coast.
Combining all this, Richard speculated:
The Truth Society and the Supreme Order Divine Society were likely indeed the same organization, or at least two branches under the same organization.
However, the Supreme Order Divine Society was considered an executive body, established to carry out special tasks and with clear objectives.
Because the tasks of the Supreme Order Divine Society were very challenging, its members were carefully selected and specifically trained, more professional. Thus, more was invested in them, and they wouldn’t easily give up after a member died but would pay a certain price for resurrection.
The Truth Society, on the other hand, seemed more like a maintenance or expansion body.
The East Coast was only a small part of the Main Continent. On this side of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Main Continent boasted a vast area.
Numerous kingdoms and alliances coexisted, with countless wizards, numerous talents, hidden experts, and a large number of Magic Knights—organized troops that could directly confront wizards.
Even though the Supreme Order Divine Society was powerful, it couldn’t defeat all the forces and act recklessly like it did on the East Coast; it could only develop silently in the shadows.
Thus, the Truth Society was born.
Compared to the Supreme Order Divine Society, the Truth Society was looser, had fewer core members, and focused more on absorbing external members to strengthen itself.
If the Supreme Order Divine Society were composed entirely of elite internal members, then the Truth Society was a mass organization formed by a mix of internal and external members.
Considering that most external members probably hadn’t received professional training, their ranks might be higher but not necessarily able to access core secrets and might not be more formidable than the internal members. The lack of Black Iron Rings and some peculiar spells could completely explain the past.
Hence, Sande survived being attacked by a group of wizards. Had it been wizards from the East Coast pursuing him, he probably wouldn’t have reached Jialan City and would have died several times over.
And if that was really the case, considering the characteristics of the Truth Society, infiltrating the Truth Society and understanding some of its information was entirely feasible. There was indeed difficulty, but as long as one made an effort, it was very likely to succeed, and after succeeding, enough benefits could be gained.
By comparison, if one tried to infiltrate the Supreme Order Divine Society on the East Coast, even if one managed to infiltrate, it would just be like walking into a trap due to their tightly organized framework.
So, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he decided to infiltrate the Truth Society and see what secrets this organization held.
Looking out the window, Richard pursed his lips.
