Chapter 550: Gaining Information

"Before I begin, I should preface this by saying that it's mostly an open secret to those that have high authority in any kingdom or empire. Anyways, there are actually only a few information brokers that exist throughout the continent." Julian decided to begin his explanation with this statement, prompting Valyr to nod in response as he let the man continue.

"These information brokers are similar to how class guilds work, having a main branch located in a certain place, while their influence spreads throughout the entire continent by putting up other branches," said the man. 

"Of course, that's only if we're talking about the large-scale organizations that specialize in obtaining information. If we include the medium-scale and small-scale organizations, then there are a lot more."
