"Thank you, Laura. I will be sure to do that," Wyatt politely replied to Laura, knowing better than to argue with a fanatic groupie.
"..." Laura could see there was no sincerity in Wyatt's words but since he agreed with her, she could not think of a reason to persuade him further. Besides, among everyone here, her status was the least. She would not be present for this discussion if not for her being Aba's friend.
After dealing with Laura, Wyatt turned to look at Asong and asked, "So, what is this item card 'World Decree', and what do the Southern royal family stand to gain from it?"
Asong locked eyes with Wyatt before glancing at Agatha and signaling her to answer him, "Wyatt, the item card 'World Decree' is !@#$%^&*"
Wyatt frowned, Agatha's mouth was moving and her voice seemed to be clear but for some reason, he could not understand what she was saying. He immediately asked Hive AI to check what was going on only to learn that an outside influence, the card world's will, was preventing him from understanding what Agatha was saying. But this was not enough to force Wyatt to give up, he asked Hive AI to record Agatha's words and play it to him. Only to find that Hive Al had only recorded noise and nothing of significance.
Wyatt then wondered how the card world's will was able to exert its influence inside his private inter-realm network. Since Wyatt was inside his seed world in the dungeon seal he could not be the source for world will to interfere here, it could be either Agatha's body which was in the card world, or the grimoire network. If Wyatt wants to block the card world's will's influence on Agatha, then he would have to move her body out of the world's sphere of influence which was not possible. So, even if he found someone willing to give him the information he was seeking for free, he could not get it.
Soon, Agatha completed her explanation and looked at Wyatt who was not paying attention to her. She was not offended as she knew exactly what was going on. Giving Wyatt a little time to figure things out, she said, "You are smart so you should know what is going on."
"The world is preventing me from listening to your explanation about the item card 'World Decree,'"?Wyatt replied with a dark expression.
"Only those who have the high-level privilege can learn about the item card 'World Decree.' Now you know why you could not find any information on it anywhere. Even I do not qualify to know this information, if not for the generosity of my liege," Agatha explained to Wyatt that he did not have the required privilege to learn about the item card 'World Decree.' She could have told him that but demonstration was better than any explanation.
"Agatha, I understood what you said. Does that mean I have a higher privilege rank than Wyatt?" Aba asked Agatha in shock. She could not believe someone like her had a higher privilege in the card world than Wyatt who discovered the sliver milk powder that can help low-level card apprentice practice without relying on soul jades, soul energy digestion effect that allowed the card apprentice to digest soul energy in monster meat to supplement their practice, and invented the VR universe the treasure trove of otherworld knowledge.
"Princess, why are you surprised? As the liege's only daughter you have the highest privilege in your current realm," Agatha answered with pride which disappeared hearing Aba depressedly mutter, "As always, I get everything without having to try or ask."
"See Master Wyatt, there was a reason why the Southern Royal family did not inform you about the World Degree incident. I am sure if you ask them they will explain it to you," Laura too did not hear Agatha's explanation on the World Degree but she did not care about that and used this opportunity to persuade Wyatt that all this was a big misunderstanding and the Southern Royal family was not trying to hide anything from him.
"Shut up, I do not want to hear one more word from you two," Wyatt said staring at Laura and Aba.
Then locking eyes with Aba, he continued, "If you are so sad that you are the daughter of a demigod, I can use my authority in the VR Universe to morph your appearance and give you the identity of a native beggar girl. Let us see how you will like the average life then."
Next, turning to lock eyes with Laura, he explained, "I trust the Southern Royal Family, but sometimes I have to look out for my interest just as they are looking out for their interest. Don't forget I too am a Southerner. And please, focus on the grilling. I have had no food in a while. So, I will be pissed if my meat is burnt."
"Sorry, I was out of line," Laura apologized and then quickly turned the meat so it is evenly grilled, focusing solely on the grilling.
Wyatt forgave Laura and turned to look at Aba who had raised her hand as if asking permission to speak, "What is it?"
"Can you really use your authority to give me a new identity and appearance in the VR universe?" Aba asked Wyatt with great expectations.
"Yes, I can. I was planning to give all players access to this feature for a price, to earn some money but then too many moral and ethical dilemmas forced me not to do that. But if it is for a friend, I do not see any harm in doing that," Wyatt said nonchalantly, but his usage of the word friend had a huge impact on Aba than he could comprehend. After all, Aba has called Wyatt her friend more than she can remember but it was not quite often for her to hear Wyatt claim they were friends.
