Chapter 251: Talks (I)
Inside the inn, a middle-aged man named Abid Rahman, standing under the palm trees on the patio, was thin, calm, serious, with a pointed beard on his chin, brown skin, and a gray-yellow robe and turban, typical of the Istanians.
This person is the day-to-day operator of the Sand Tour. Although this is the property of the Penelope royal family, Afifa's sister, as a princess, naturally does not do everything herself. However, she asked this person to take care of the place on her behalf, which also shows that the latter is capable and has won the trust of Princess Celestia.
It's just that Fang Yu thinks that he hasn't seen the other party, and the other party hasn't seen him, and this sudden care certainly makes him a little confused. Out of politeness, he stepped forward to thank the other party. Abaid replied in a calm and humble tone:
"Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to thank you for taking care of her sister."
Fang Yu was a little stunned when he heard this. However, Afifa had only been gone for a few days, and the eldest princess knew about it, and it seemed that she had already grasped their movements, but was it a gentle warning to her sister for being rude, or was it a thanks? Or a combination of both.
Fang Yu secretly thought, this eldest princess's wrist looks very smart.
Abed stretched out his hand to the side: "You have made a reservation here, please come with me." β
Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at each other with the big cat man. Tang De on the side knocked on his cane and said, "I won't go with you to that boring meeting, this hall has a good view, it is gloomy, I think it's good here." It thrust its cane into its arm: "I'll wait for you here." β
Fang Yu glanced at the hall a little speechlessly. To be able to say that the lobby of a hostel with cool air and good lighting is gloomy in front of the owner, this guy is purely here to find trouble, right? But he didn't expect Abed to see the latter, not only did he not have the slightest problem, but he hurriedly walked up and saluted:
"Master Sorcerer, it's a disdainful honor to satisfy you, please wait a moment, and I'll have someone arrange the best spot for you right awayβ"
Tang De was not polite at all, and only nodded lightly arrogantly, as if everything was taken for granted.
Seeing it, Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
In the place that Abed arranged for Donde, there was another necromancer. In fact, there are still many places there, but when the other party saw Tang De, he got up automatically without saying a word, and took the initiative to prepare to give up this place. In Fang Yuan's opinion, the lich who couldn't spit out ivory from the dog's mouth took the initiative to speak at this time:
"Why leave, since it's a colleague, why don't you stay and talk?"
The necromancer, a native, was overjoyed to hear this, and hurriedly waved his hand away from the servant, and personally brought a chair for Dondra, and stood aside like a waiter. Tang De didn't care about this, it politely said to sit down, but the other party didn't want to sit, so it naturally wouldn't talk any more nonsense.
When Fang Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help but glance at this lich with some surprise.
He saw the three purple ribbons on the sleeve of the necromancer opposite, which showed that he was at least a necromancer above level 30, such a person should have some reputation in the local area, but he didn't expect to be cautious like a schoolboy in front of this unscrupulous lich.
For the first time, Fang Yu felt that although the other party often did some very 'boring' things on the boat, such as arguing with Tang Xin, using vicious little spells to play Tianlan, and Ai Xiaoxiao, a lich was also a lich after all.
Necromancers are a solitary profession that spends most of their lives with the dead, and is notorious in most areas, and in some places even wanted. Therefore, on this road, everything is naturally the priority of strength, not to mention that Tang De, as an old monster of more than a hundred years old, is indeed a master 'figure' in this field.
Of course, in his impression, a true master should be like Karatu, mature and steady.
After settling Donde, Abed led the group to the courtyard behind the inn. In the hall leading to the courtyard, there was an Inhanz Type 4 on display, and Fang Yu couldn't help but take a second look, this kind of centaur-shaped structure with a human head and a horse body was the pinnacle representative of the Magic Guide Formation School.
Knowing the value of this structure, he couldn't help but secretly say that this hostel was worthy of the royal family's style, and the magic guide structure of more than 3.7 million miles was actually placed in this place as a display. Abed turned his head and saw his expression, and he was not arrogant, but only calmly introduced:
"It's a gift from the local artisans to Princess Rupert."
"But it's not the most expensive exhibit here."
After hearing Fang Yuan's statement on the value of this structure, Parker couldn't help but say, "More than 3.7 million miles, how much does that have to be?" And that's not the most expensive exhibit here? β
Abaid then directed them to look to the wood carving that stood directly across the hall, which looked like a totem, with a ruby in the center that swirled with a dull glow.
The Paparal walked over and walked around the totem twice, with a look of disbelief: "Just this black wooden pillar? β
"Parker is dead, it's the work of the elf master," I didn't expect that it was not Abed who spoke, but Ai Xiaoxiao on the side: "The ruby on the totem is the heart of flames, and it was sold for a whopping 130,000 thousand miles at the big auction in Elpahin that year." As for now, it's even more valuable. β
Parker gasped in fright, quickly looked at the ruby twice, turned his head and asked in disbelief, "How many thousands?" β
Abed also turned his head, glanced at Ai Xiaoxiao and nodded: "This young lady is right." β
"How does Xiaoxiao know this?" Fang Yu asked a little curiously.
"My dad and I happened to be in that auction, of course, we were only invited to visit," Ai Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, "My family doesn't have that much money." β
Fang Yu suddenly realized. He knew that his cousin's friend was from a fairly wealthy family.
But to get such an opportunity to cross the border, even as a tourist, you must at least have a certain social status, right? It's just that the other party's family doesn't know what the relationship is, and he heard his cousin say that Ai Xiaoxiao's family comes to Aitaria every two or three years on average.
This time, he happened to bring Tang Xin, so he was able to see the two of them here. As for becoming an official electee later, it is also a relationship of infall. He also heard that Ai Xiaoxiao's parents didn't seem to object to this.
And his uncle and aunt seem to have acquiesced to this matter.
It's weird.
The group walked around the tall construct and walked backwards, while Parker whispered all the way behind, "Ed, do you think that gem is really that valuable?" I mean...... That guy isn't bluffing us, is he? β
Fang Yu glanced at him: "Ai Xiaoxiao also bluffed you?" β
"What does she know about a little girl, and everyone else knows," the Paparal man rubbed his hands together, his dark eyes rolled around, and he said a little uneasily, "I think, will such a priceless thing be put in that place?" β
ββ¦β¦ Uh, I mean, it's really not going to be stolen? β
As soon as Fang Yu saw his actions, he knew what this guy was planning: "What are you thinking?" β
"Ah, I didn't!?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm asking you what you're thinking, not if you have. β
Parker's small eyes rolled, and he said to him, "Doom...... I mean, I didn't think about anything. β
Fang Yu didn't believe him, and pointed to the tall structure: "Guess why that gem is placed in this place, even if it is the most inferior, Inhanz Type IV is also a pseudo-dragon knight structure." Or do you want to try it out for yourself, what level is the Pure Demon-Oriented Pseudo-Dragon Knight Build? β
"No, no," Parker hurriedly shook his head, then added, "Then we ...... No, I mean, wouldn't it be nice for the thieves to steal the Inhonz IV first, and that thing is worth a lot of money? β
Fang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He suddenly felt that it would be nice to have something to distract this guy, saving him a day of thinking about how to get into trouble.
After this episode, the group finally came to the courtyard of the hostel, and saw the people of the VE Club waiting there from a distance, and the officials of the Super Athletic League who were with them. There were seven people in that group, and except for three of them, who were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and who looked like they were from the earth, the other four should be the Electors.
And among these electees, two were the blue and white battle robes that Fang Yuan had seen not long ago, and the other was wearing a costume that Fang Yuan was very familiar withββ''
Among the three Electors, there was also a light-striped frost fire robe wearing a battle robe that Fang Yuan was more familiar with, 'Ragnarok', who seemed to be someone from the Odin Guild, but he didn't know his identity, and Fang Yuan had never seen each other before. There is also a person who should be a local adventurer, probably a guide and bodyguard hired by the other party.
Therefore, Fang Yuan's gaze was mainly on the other six people,
Speaking of which, he wasn't curious about the Fleur descendants. But seriously, this is the first time he has really dealt with the Super Athletic League, and as for the last time in Van Rik, for some special reasons, it naturally cannot represent the league itself.
In fact, he later realized that the vision of the alliance that he had not yet entered at that time, the so-called 'official', was actually just Pudra behind it.
This time, however, it was different.
What he did in Van Rik had a great impact not only on the major guilds, but also on the Super Athletic Alliance itself. I'm afraid that, as Sophie said, the staff up and down the alliance at this time, whether passive or active, should know about the existence of such a number one person as him.
That's why this meeting took place.
He was well aware of the style of the Great Guilds of the Descendants of Flor, but he still had some reverence for the Alliance. This is also the inevitable mentality of every new electee when facing an official organization like the Alliance.
Not to mention, Fang Yu himself was not a professional player, and he was even more curious about this organization that single-handedly established the sport of super competition after the Stargate Declaration.
That's the main purpose of his coming here.
The other party looked like he had been waiting for a while, but he didn't look annoyed at all. The senior of the VE Club, who was not very old, at most in his early thirties, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and a polite look, stretched out his hand to him and said:
"You may be seated, Mr. Eddard."
Fang Yu and the others sat down one by one, and their eyes roamed over the other two, the three of them were not very old, and they didn't know which one was the official of the alliance.
The young man with the silver wire glasses first introduced his surname as Li, and he was from the management of the VE club.
Then the other party changed his words and mentioned: "The descendants of Flor and Mr. Ed had some misunderstandings before, but in fact, it was just a trivial matter. Mr. Ed is the Elector of the country, and Ragnarok is also a well-known guild in the country, so to put it bluntly, everyone is actually their own people. β
"At present, the major domestic guilds have lost in the Turbid Domain, and they have also performed very poorly in several foreign battles, coupled with the retirement of the previous generation of star players, it is the time when rising stars are needed. At this time, it is also a kind of luck to have a newcomer like Mr. Ed in the domestic division. β
"Mr. Ed probably doesn't know yet, the outside world is now comparing you to Miss Loofah. Mr. Eddard is also an alchemist and a combat craftsman, so he must also want to reach the heights of Hades, Loofah and Miss Virus, right? β
Fang Yu was slightly stunned.
He also thought that this meeting would be tense, but he didn't expect Sophie to really say it, and the other party poured him ecstasy soup as soon as he came up. It's a pity that if these scenes had been spoken by Miss Scarpet, or Miss Elf, he might have been so proud that he would have flown up.
But in front of these people, he was still very sober. He was well aware of the other party's intentions, not in bad faithβbut as well as he knew his answer, once the two could not agree. I'm afraid these people won't be what they are now.
Of course, if the other party really had the Silver Veslan, or the Elite's generosity, he might still look up to the Flor Descendant, but Fang Yu actually knew in his heart that the Flor Descendant would never be the same as the Silver Veslan and the Elite. Otherwise, there wouldn't be as many things as the Dawn Star.
Thinking of Elite, he couldn't help but think of the Iceberg Lady - it had been a long time since the battle with Idus.
When the other party came to him, he was a little annoyed. But the other party disappeared suddenly, and he was faintly lost. It's not that he waits for the price to sell, he really wants to join the Elite, but he always feels that he is being looked down upon, and that feeling is still quite annoying.
Of course, this kind of careful thinking is also human nature, and Fang Yu will not suffer from gains and losses because of this.
He waited quietly for the other party's next step.
Sure enough, as he expected. He was silent, looking unmoved, and the other party was a little surprised, and he had to go directly to the meat play. The young man coughed lightly before he said, "Mr. Ed, I'll tell you the truth." β
"Your talent is very high, and we are very optimistic about your talent - with your talent, it is completely possible to reach the height of Miss Loofah, or even to reach the height of Miss Hades, and to reach the height of Ms. Virus."
"But you also know that talent is only one aspect, any big guild must at least take out a fraction of its resources to cultivate a player of the level of the underworld. That's not a small amount for a big guild or club. β
"And for guilds and organizations that aren't that big, it's even more astronomical."
"I know that with your talent, there must be countless guilds in the country that come to you, and some of them have also made heart-warming conditions," the young man pushed his glasses: "But you have to be sure, some guilds have high verbal conditions, but can they really come up with this resource?" β
"And the strength of our Flor descendants, you should know it, right? As a long-established club, we are very reliable in terms of contracts with players. At least there has never been any labor disputes, which is well-known on this point. β
As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper: "Simply, Mr. Ed. The Descendants of Flor wish to settle their past grievances with you, and cordially invite you to join us, and we promise to offer you the best possible conditions to train you to be one of the Chosen One-"
The other party lightly pressed the contract: "This contract, no matter where it is placed, even including within our major guilds, is also very generous." β
Fang Yu silently looked at the contract for a moment.
The contract looks like a page, but in fact it is just a projection generated by the system, a window of light, an electronic contract.
The other party is not lying.
This contract is indeed quite generous-
But of course, it is still far from the conditions that Sophie-dominated Silver Vislan has offered him.
Silver Veslan had made it clear at the timeβand it was the President of Silver Veslan himself who gave him a reply, and he could be groomed with conditions that were analogous to those enjoyed by Sophie. And you must know that Her Royal Highness the princess of the silver Westland, but her descendants from this guild, plus the relationship between the military, are naturally much closer than him in terms of relationship.
But even so, Silver Vislan offered him such generous terms. If Sophie wasn't his friend, he would probably be depressed for a while when he heard such a clause.
Still, he resolutely rejected Silver Vislan's offer.
Since then, neither Silver Veslan nor Sophie have ever mentioned letting him join Silver Veslan. The reason is very simple, the other party cannot offer higher conditions, and secondly, he should also feel his determination.
He wasn't impressed.
Naturally, this is even more impossible.
He asks Sophie what would happen if she had been on the opposite side of the Flor descendants. Sophie didn't answer him at the time, but it seemed like it was about to become a real question.
He looked away from the contract, looked up, looked at the other party, and shook his head slightly: "No need. β
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the young man with silver wire glasses, but Fang Yu's answer didn't seem to be completely unexpected by the other party. He thought for a moment before asking, "Mr. Ed, there are some things that I may not have made clear to you. β
"There is a great upheaval going on in Aitalia right now, and in the midst of this upheaval, there will be many opportunities. In fact, you've probably heard about the Alliance's integration of the Free Guilds this year, right? β
Fang Yu looked at the other party with some surprise. Of course he had heard of this matter, and he had personally experienced it, and this incident caused the alliance to be infamous outside, and the other party actually used this matter to talk to him?
The other party pushed his glasses again: "I know, this 'adjustment' has some bad reputation outside, but in fact, it is not as rumored, the alliance is to suppress the Free Guild and the Free Elector. Mr. Ed may have some misunderstandings about the Alliance, but for the Alliance, the Free Drafters are also part of the Drafter's strength, and they are no different from the Guild Organization. β
"Then why are you doing that?" Fang Yu took the initiative to ask for the first time.
"The reason is simple, it involves a question of 'distribution'."
"Assignment?"
"Mr. Eddard should have heard that this year, the Alliance and Stargate Port have selected a group of outstanding Electors from the major guilds, even the second- and third-tier guilds, and released a large number of places leading to the second world, right?"
A light flashed in Fang Yu's eyes. He had indeed heard about it, but he had heard it from Momiji, but the version was a little different from this one. Momiji and Wu Di went to Charter City on a mission at that time to participate in this selection.
I heard that she and Wu Di both obtained this qualification, but later the guild was integrated and Tapolis announced its 'dissolution'.
It's just that in the description of Momiji, it seems to be dominated by the military. And now it sounds like the alliance is also involved.
Of course, it is not certain whether the other party has the time to tell the truth.
