Chapter 31: The Choice of Subordinates
“…… What is this?" looked in the direction of the sound that the voice came from, and it was the clothes that Alice had thrown on the bed just now, and it happened to be placed at Alice's feet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I scrambled to my feet and found something that made a sound from my clothes.
The so-called exam gift handed out today is a small stone sign the size of a palm.
The communication trading character, Alice remembers to be the name.
Although she has seen this thing more than once in the book, Alice has never really used and operated it.
"I remember it...... It seems to be ...... Well...... Do it. Picking up the small sign, Alice slowly attached her spiritual power to it according to the method from the book.
The landscape in front of me is constantly changing and receding, turning into a variety of fragmentary pictures, but between the pictures there is a strange picture, as if Picasso's bizarre and beautiful painting.
After an unknown amount of time, the picture began to reorganize, and after the reorganization was completed, what appeared in front of Alice's eyes was a small room of only two square meters.
"Huh, is this the so-called free perk?" Alice puffed out her face, looking at the empty house.
The trading communicator is a prop invented by a goddess of wealth in order to collect wealth, which can allow the user's spirit to be projected into a special plane across the distance of space, which is called the place of trading.
This thing is similar to an in-game auction system, where items can be sold and purchased remotely, and the dependents of the goddess of finance will act as postmen, who are usually wealthy wizards who are responsible for the delivery of items, and of course, these are all for money.
At the same time, this thing can also be used as a communicator, although it can only be communicated simply by text, and it can't do remote voice chat and face-to-face video chat, well, even so, these still have to be paid.
This thing is not cheap outside, each of which can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins, and it also provides a binding function, unless it is unbound, otherwise even if the owner dies, it is just a stone for others to get it.
In order to fry the oil and water of the customers, a certain goddess also opened a function called a virtual house.
People are free to build houses in this plane, and of course, these still have to be paid.
Until then, she will offer a place to stay, free of charge. However, most of the characters who can use this thing can't afford to lose their face, and the foothold here is only a small house of 2 square meters, which is only enough to stand......
"You have a new party invite, please check it out. Alice had just finished looking at the little empty house, no, it should be said that it was smaller than the prison cell, and a female voice without any emotion came to her ears.
"Check!" As Alice spoke, a translucent scroll appeared in Alice's hand.
"Dear Miss Alice,
Here, we would like to send our heartfelt wishes to Miss Alice for your perfect passing of the graduation exams of the Academy of Magic. We will be holding our 729th Meeting at 4 a.m. on July 1st, and you are cordially invited to join us and activate the sigil under the reels in the trading area by 3:30 a.m.
Sincerely, the Association for the Promotion of Peace"
"Alice, alas!
At this time, she noticed that there was not even a clock here!!
"No matter, ahhhhh
A pigeon carries the mark of an olive branch in its mouth.
Once again, Alice went through the process of images, nay, what should be called space, shattering before her eyes and then building it.
When she opened her eyes again, Alice was already in a large conference hall.
A very large table is placed in the middle, which is hollow inside, and a small table is placed.
There are hundreds of seats next to the big table, but there are five at the small table.
Alice sat directly on the chair next to the large table.
On the head, there is a night pearl with a circular distribution, emitting a milky white light.
Looking around, Alice could already see that many seats were already full, and to Alice's left, there was a woman with a black veil, holding her hands on her chest, staring coldly ahead, ignoring Alice next to her.
To Alice's right, sat a lady of grace and magnificence, with a friendly but not unfamiliar smile on her face.
But......
"Hello, Miss Alice Norregi, I am Ariel's mother, Arina Stuart. The lady saw Alice's presence, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she nodded with a smile.
"Hello, I...... What should I call you?" Alice didn't expect to encounter such a situation as soon as she came here, but if she looked closely, Alice could still see the traces of Ariel from the lady in front of her, and asked hurriedly.
Although from the outside, Ariel and the young woman in front of her should be about the same age, but the world of magic can't be described by common sense, there are few things to slow down aging, but it's not nothing.
"Of course, even though you're Ariel's friend, it's okay, just call my name," Yalina replied disappretently. "Then I'll just call you Alice. ”
…… Friends...... Even now, it hasn't reached that level
"But this time you're the main character, Alice. ”
"Huh, me?"
"You've won glory for our Peace Promotion Association this time. Yalina had a smile on her face. "The school's top graduates have always been monopolized by the Snake House and the Lion House, and no one has passed the third exam for 4 years in a row, and for 10 years in a row, our pigeon house has not received such an honor. ”
Although these so-called honors mean nothing to those present, or even in Alice's eyes.
The Association for the Promotion of Peace is a loose organization of graduated pigeons that aims to communicate and exchange information in this dangerous world, so that people born together can defend themselves against other dangers.
The association makes decisions in the form of a parliament, one person, one vote, and two votes for permanent members, and ordinary decisions can be passed by only half of the votes, while important votes must be passed by more than 90% of the votes.
This association is not an ordinary little pigeon can join, if you want to enter, you must not only have strong strength, but also have the recommendation of the parliamentarians, and one-third of the parliamentarians agree, before you can really join.
This is the normal way, but there are other special ways to get in, such as the students who have won the title of Chief Student in the final exams of each school.
That's why Alice was able to sit in the councillor's seat at this time.
However, this association is more like a alumni association, it is not binding, and its appearance is more like a platform, a platform for councillors to get to know each other, and councillors have no obligations other than paying a membership fee every year, so there is no responsibility.
In Alice's understanding, this is a large-scale dating and chatting platform with a threshold.
"Miss Alice, although you defeated my daughter in the second exam, it did not affect our relationship. A strong person will not have a mustard for such a small thing. ”
"So, I hope you will accept my friendship with Ariel Stuart. ”
