Lith had two bracelets on him. One was given to him by his mother and another by Hecate. The one his mother gave didn’t change his face or anything but simply made me unable to recall who he is. The one by Hecate, however, turned him into a completely different person altogether.

That was a much better artifact and Lith was using it currently. He had turned himself into an ordinary looking young man and was walking in the vicinity of the guild.

He approached a random person, wearing the guild’s insignia, at the outer vicinity of the guild and asked, “hey, can I ask you a few questions regarding the guild?”

It was a lean guy with a height of about 180 cm. He stopped when Lith asked him a question and looking at him, he said, “sure. Ask anything you want.”

He was free and was just going back home. He had a few minutes left to spare.

“What do you know about the Jingmei Guild?”

“What do you want to know about it? I know many things.” The guy said with a smile.

Lith nodded and asked, “can you brief me on the general things that everyone should know about it?”

“Sure. Firstly…” The guy said to Lith the exact same things Muron had said.

“Alright. I understand. Can you tell me about the guild building next?” Lith asked.

“Thank you.” Lith thanked him for his kindness.

The two sat on the bench and the guy started explaining, “the guild building is a fortified building. How strong is it? I don’t know. Fighting or any type of violence is banned inside. If you break this rule, the guild will punish you. The punishment is bad, you should avoid doing such a thing.”

“The guild is also watched by someone at all times. Who it is, I have no idea. It’s just a rumor I have heard. But even though no one’s watching, make sure to not do anything stupid. There are also only a few Rank 7s and 8s in the guild at any given time and most are below Rank 6 or are Rank 6.”

“One thing to take note of. If you see a three meters tall werewolf guy, avoid him at all cost. There’s also…”

The guy kept explaining things and didn’t stop until it was ten minutes. Lith had learnt a lot about the guild from him. So much so that he didn’t need to ask other people to explain things to him. Lith parted ways with the man after thanking him and left the place.

He got back into the alley and took his disguise off. He then started formulating a plan in a notebook. It was a habit from his previous life and a thing he had learnt as a student. Always carry a small notepad or notebook with you and a pen.

Whenever you want to plan something, start noting it down on it and as you keep writing, you’ll start getting a lot of ideas about things. If you don’t write and just think it in your mind, chances are, you may not be able to think too deeply about things and would eventually end up missing out on some things.

This thing had helped him a lot before and it was helping him now too. He had formulated one plan but he got so many ideas that he made a lot of backup plans to support this main plan. Lith was now ready to carry out his task.

He left the alley and walked back to the guild and to the same man as before.

“You’re back again, huh. You walked off pretty arrogantly last time. Let me remind you, if the meat is rotten even slightly, we won’t be purchasing it.” The man said with a smug look.

“How much for ten kilograms of killer sheep meat?” Lith didn’t bother with his provocation and simply asked.

“As I’ve said before, just give it to me and I’ll give you the right amount.”

Lith looked at him and the guy, not afraid of Lith even in the slightest, looked back at him. Lith looked around him, trying to find the surveillance system of the guild and to check whether someone was watching him or not.

He soon found a small bird swimming in the small fountain present in the center of the lobby. The bird was looking around and observing people but in a not so obvious way. Lith’s observational skills were top tier and thus he didn’t miss it.

The bird’s attention wasn’t on him currently and the first thing he needed to do was to get just that.

Lith looked at the man in front of him and took out a bag of killer sheep meat and gave it to him. It was exactly ten kilograms.

The man did a quality check and finding nothing wrong with it, he handed out Lith coins in a bag and said, “here’s your money. You can leave now.”

Lith checked the bag and found there to be twenty bronze coins in it. This… wasn’t this too obvious? This guy was not even trying to make it seem like it wasn’t a scam. Lith wondered if this guy had a brain in his skull or not.

“This is just 20 bronze coins. I gave you ten kilograms of killer sheep meat. Its minimum worth is 1 silver and 50 bronze coins.” Lith said to the guy without having a change in his expression. He couldn’t let the disdain he was feeling be shown to the guy or any other emotions as that would cause problems.

“Boy, I know what I am doing. Get lost before I call the guards on you.” The man sneered.

“I am not going. I need my money.” Lith said in a flat tone.

The man knitted his brows as he heard this. He typed in a few things on the keyboard present in front of him and within a few seconds, three burly men arrived to where Lith was.

The man smiled when he saw them arrive. He pointed at Lith and said, “guards, kick this guy out. He’s causing trouble here.”
