I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

"Just kidding." Marlon shrugged.

"And here I thought you were the type of person that is always serious."

Fein was speechless. "So, do you have any information about the witches? Like location or anything?"

"Well, there's a lot of information about the witches on my intelligence channels. Though most of them were not confirmed. The story about witches first starts off as a rumor, but I can confirm that they were somewhere underground in the three great countries." Marlon's tone turned sarcastic as he mentioned the three great countries. "Isn't it ironic?? The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Even though the three great countries tried to find the base of the witches, they couldn't find it."

"Indeed, the most dangerous place is the safest place. After all, who would think that your enemy would hide in your backyard?" Fein chuckled lightly. Then his face became thoughtful as if he thought of something. "Three great countries, huh... I'll visit them sooner."

"But seriously, why do you want to know anything about them? Haven't you heard that they were a bunch of crazy people? It won't do anything good to you."

"Well, I have personal business with them." Fein smiled and got up from his seat. "Here is it."

Fein casually threw four gold coins toward Marlon and says. "Thanks for the drinks and info."

"Y-you. " Marlon's eyes widened and quickly caught the four coins in his hands. He didn't expect that Fein would be a rich kid. "Are you sure?? That price of the information that you asked for was only about six silver coins."

"It's okay... I enjoyed talking to you. And treat it as a token of our first transaction. I would like to have another transaction for you should I need it."

Fein knew just how helpful it would become if he befriends an information broker. After all, he believes that if you establish contact with a well-connected person, then it would essentially mean that are also connected to his contacts! It's literally a huge information networking system!
It was bound that Marlon would know a lot of people. As an information broker, Marlon must know a lot of reliable sources of information which Fein could use as long as he has the money to pay.

"Well, that's it." Marlon placed the four gold coins in his pocket. "You can just come to this bar anytime if you need something."

...

After Fein had finished his purpose, he returned to the hotel. Then he resumed his journey with Sofia. Of course, they familiarize themselves first with the country of Dounant and enjoyed all the sceneries and tourist spots that it had to offer. From its food circle, culture, historical places, and markets. Because Fein found it a pity if they would just leave just like that.

Every country has something to offer... Because of this, they met a lot of people. And they have to go to the market to purchase commodities and replenish their resources. After all, they won't always find a hotel in their adventures. It was bound that they would sometimes end up in the wild or some mountain. So they need to be ready.

...

"Fein, where do we go next?" Sofia watched as they passed the clouds in the sky. Below them was the city of Cornelio.

Cornelio City is a prosperous city and also the last city they visited. Now, they were about to traverse a hundred miles again to go to their next destination.

"Well, according to the map, the next country is the Sevenant country, a country with only one S rank, but the leader of this country was a sibling of the leader of a great country..."

"Sevenant Country, the country of birds?" Sofia murmured.

"Country of bird?" Fein asked in surprise. "You know about this country??? Tell me about it."

"Well, it's like this..."

Just like that, Sofia, who surprisingly knew the Sevenant country, told Fein about its customs, religions, and the ruling classes.

"It doesn't sound interesting." Fein was speechless as he learned the reason why the Sevenant country became the country of birds.

It turned out that the people of the Sevenant country worship the God Bird that only exists in the myth. For the citizens of the Sevenant country, birds symbolize freedom, which they value the most.

"Aoi, can you speed up?"

"Hey, Voli! Why the fuck are you sleeping while we are in the sky?"

Fein felt a headache as he saw Voli almost roll around and fall to Voli's back.

"Don't worry, master. Even if I fall, I knew that you can do something about it." Voli yawned with his eyes half-opened, which made Sofia laugh.

"This bastard..." Fein facepalmed.

With that, a month passed. Fein obtain one regular ticket and they finally covered the rest of the small countries! Namely: Sevenant, Hepis, and Sovuria.

Just like what Sofia had told Fein. Sevenant country was really a country of birds. Due to their belief, pilgrimage and temples for birds could be seen everywhere inside the country. The royal family also used the bird logo as their crest. Finally, what amazed Fein was the fact that the means of transportation of people in the Sevenant country are all through birds! Even regular people tamed birds as big as people!

Then there was the Hepis country. A weird country, in Fein's opinion. Because in the Hepis country, there are a lot of bizarre rules that made Fein experience a lot of inconveniences. First of all, outsiders like him couldn't roam around the country at the night. Second, people cannot eat while walking on the road because it is considered disrespectful. One has to find a place to sit and finished their food first. Third, all people that roam outside should wear a face mask. Finally, they should distance themselves one meter from each other.


For that reason, it is because there's a virus from a year before that infected the entire population of the Sevenant country. A lot of people died from the virus called 'Covid-19'.

Then there's the last country, Sovuria. In final summary, Sovuria was just like the San Fernando country, in terms of its culture, economy, and technology, which made Fein have a favorable impression of it.

'Next, to the three great countries! I hope I can really find their traces this time,' Fein thought and gave the Sovuria country a last glance.
