The meeting 18.2

-You bought it without knowing it? You're pretty lucky for an ignoramus," remarked the informant. This jewel is made of a very precious metal that only informers and transgressors can use. Guardians too, but to a lesser extent. That's why when you go to see an informant, no matter what world you're in, you must always have some on you or you won't get any information.

The young woman pursed her lips. This old hag hadn't given her the information she wanted. In fact, she'd been careful not to tell her what kind of metal it was. But in exchange, she had explained that all informers exchange their information for this metal, which was very important in itself.

But she was going to have to use her second question to find out what metal it was. Too bad. If the old woman had answered, it was because Hakim already knew all about it. And Nea knew that he knew the nature of the jewel, since he had bought it knowingly. So she would get the answer to her question.
