Yunan and party did not linger after the flames were extinguished, only Anne and Ophelia stayed to experiment with their home made concoctions, working on regrowing a layer of skin back to ordinary without the help of mana was a very painful process, luckily they had two newly burned subject that urgently needed skin regrowth, one was given herbal baths, the other was smeared with creams, thankfully the dungeon was sound isolated, otherwise no one would sleep inside the portable home.

With some success, and many failures, Ophelia and Anne have worked out something that uses internal mana to heal peeled off skin, in only one month, during that month, Yunan and the rest would bet on the amount of information they could get with a single use of a 5 minutes long pain suppressing spell, or an 8 hour forced sleep pill. The amounts of information started growing up after each pain relief moment or a night of peaceful sleep, the two prisoners started divulging information bit by bit, starting by lies and then transition to truths because there was nothing to get from lying.

That month was very fruitful for Yunan who had spent it making stocking up the vaults with all kinds of Informations, technologies, items spell books, unidentified relics and anything in between, Yunan was most surprised about the sales of the membership rings when he added the option to request items from the trading post. There were more than 10 million rings sold, it didn't take long before a new market was introduced, information, people would trade items for reliable information more often than they did for other items or gold.

As the owner of the trading post Yunan declared that he is not responsible for any trade that includes information because the trade post had no possible way to make sure information was legitimate, but he created a member who sold information through the rings, most of this information was glimpsed directly from the rings, none of it was very private information and could be overheard through many spying ways, thus those who pretended to be information brokers soon were driven out of competition thanks to the smart genie. All information would be shared in a written format that can be saved on the membership ring for a limited time and with limited space. Most the customers confirmed the authenticity of the genie driven information broker through information widely available in their factions.

Yunan also made a deal with both Martin and Markus about providing them with materials and information in exchange for the same, these trades are made through the two men directly, instead of the main channels of the guild or the church, simply to keep people from taking precautions against their membership rings, also, the highly sensitive information was classified by the genie to trade with faction leaders or faction strategist, but nothing too secretive or exclusive, like for example sharing something that was discussed between 3 or 4 people, however, something that 10 can be privileged to know was fair game.

The excuse given by the genie when asked how he got such information was always "mind manipulated members leaked it" it worked just fine, because that was a very plausible and widely used method, the biggest gain that the trading post acquired through the endless amounts of items going in and out was the ability to judge the quality and the amount of wealth any faction had. The amount of resources freely passing through the hands of the members of a faction indicated its wealth as well as its ability to protect that wealth against internal crime.

A faction that can not control the rate of crime would lose more than just members, they would lose the wealth they painstakingly accumulated, therefore it was imperative to know whichever factions were stable and which were easier to shake and those without a stable and solid foundations, thus after only one month, the trade post had its own classification of the factions based on wealth and foundation as well how chaotic or orderly they were.

In other news, the same month was rather scary for the wives, they have been integrating into the political system of the pearl kingdom and they have been struggling so hard, but they finally understood why political power was so hard to achieve and maintain. The political scene in a stable kingdom like the pearl was very welcoming when it was compared to other places. The whole existence of the political scene in the pearl kingdom was completely for the service of the people, the politicians were always retired elders with a good outlook on the need of the kingdom, and they did not care about making themselves more successful as politicians, that led into a government that was completely different, still, the political process was still as brutal, making the girls frustrated and tugging at the hair from all the near misses and failures.

Finally they dejectedly decided to forgo politics and just focus on diplomacy to become the official representatives of Yunan as a person, helping him in the political process was too much for them, they did not have that much cunning in them, but they learned so much from that month it became much easier to switch to diplomatic relations, after all, it was not as demanding as politics but still was enough to keep the girls busy and focused for a long while.

With Yunan leaving the diplomatic relations to the girls when it came to dealing with other nations and negotiation about resources and such, the girls were getting better thanks yo the help from the government and the time they spent working alongside both the official and the underground governments, thus Yunan could finally return to hunting in the dungeon, it has been so long since he stopped his journey after the incident with the phoenix legacy. Thus he left the torture and gathering information to Debauchery and the trade post to the genie, ye gave Mary the permission to make minor decisions concerning the acceptance of items and other things that the the genie thought it was best to leave it to human judgement.
