Volume 7: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered) Chapter 58: Ready to Move (2)

"Is there anything yours old classmate wants to tell me?"

After only tiramisu was left in the hall, Raphael changed from the way he had been sitting upright, leaned back in his chair, and asked.

Tiramisu sat down and said, "Even if you don't ask, I'm ready to tell you about it." ”

"So, it seems that during this time, those guys' movements are not small! I'm also worried that the development plan of the province of Burion will be a thorn in their side, and I can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible! ”

"From what the moon cup told me, combined with the information we gathered, I'm afraid those poisonous snakes don't have the heart to care about us now!" "It is now almost certain that the entire Body-Eater Serpent has been divided, and the new Third Apostle has withdrawn from the secret society with several executors and executor candidates, while the Sixth Apostle, the Death Knight, Ice Whisper Dry Bone, has announced the establishment of the Knights of the Black Blade, blatantly turning several chasseurs into his own private army." ”

"Sounds like it's almost infighting!"

"In fact, infighting has already begun! Last week, there were five sightings, and the hunting regiments that originally cooperated with each other killed their former comrades-in-arms in broad daylight, and it is estimated that they have not been seen many more times. Tiramisu sighed, "In this regard, many guilds are greatly relieved, after all, these hunting regiments are usually the objects of their fear, and now they are suddenly doing this, I really can't tell if they are happy or afraid!" ”

Raphael shook his head: "It is the idiot who is happy at such a time, and the fool who is afraid!" Really smart people should seize the opportunity and find ways to profit from it! ”

"Our actions are quite timely, there are now seventeen hunting regiments willing to join us, and the specific cooperation agreement needs to be discussed in detail, but I personally feel that as long as they can agree to those few main conditions, our concessions in other areas will not harm our interests."

Not every hunting regiment is absolutely under the orders of the Eater Snake, in fact, the organization of hunting regiments like the Cerberus Wing is not the mainstream, and most of them have formed a partnership with the Eater Snake through a simple cooperation agreement.

"I don't care about that, it's just the contract anyway. What I care about is what kind of impact this secret organization's split will have on the development of the guild. ”

Tiramisu thought about it, and finally said, "I'm afraid the impact won't be small!" For the entire human race alone, the number of chassing regiments that can be counted exceeds four thousand, which is more than the number of all human guilds combined, plus these chaser regiments are almost all cultivated according to paramilitary forces, such a large force, if it is out of control, it may produce quite bad results. ”

"Yes! This is both an opportunity and a danger, if these hunting regiments can be absorbed, it will be of considerable significance to the development of any guild, and if the response is unfavorable, once these hunting regiments choose to seize the territory in the hands of other guilds for their own interests, I am afraid that a civil war between players is inevitable! Raphael said worriedly.

"Someone has already thought about it! That Spirit Sword Boy came forward to form a guild alliance, and it has been very active recently, because we have invested our main forces here in the province of Burion, and the remaining forces in the Holy City are no longer enough to suppress the Spirit Sword Villa. ”

"This is also something that can't be helped, compared to guarding the Holy City, the territory is more important to us!" Raphael said helplessly. There are always many things in this world that cannot be taken care of at the same time, and if you want to control the entire province of Burion, the Angel's Covenant must put a large number of elite players into this territory, and there will be fewer people left in the Holy City, so naturally there will not be enough strength to quickly respond to some provocative actions.

"I'm not questioning your decision, Raphael!" Tiramisu quickly explained, "It's just that our control over Terran players is really decreasing, so can't you think of a way to do this?" ”

Raphael looked up at Tiramisu, and she wondered why the other party threw this question at her: "So what do you want me to do?" ”

"For example, what do you think of asking those NPCs to come forward and knock on Spirit Sword Villa?"

Raphael now understood what Tiramisu meant, but he didn't expect to be waiting for her in this place. Hearing Tiramisu say this, the corners of Raphael's mouth curled slightly, his hands propped up on the table, and he held his chin and asked, "Since you said that, there must be some suitable suggestions, right?" ”

"Princess Lana......"

"There has been a locust plague in the Sadarin Kingdom recently, and Princess Lana has gone back to deal with this matter, so I'm afraid there will be no way to help us in the short term."

"Then ...... the Holy See?"

Raphael raised his eyebrows: "After the battle of Sky City, the Church is busy guarding against a possible invasion of the Abyss, do you think they will take care of the strife between our players at this time?" Okay, Tiramisu, you're not usually like this, just say anything you want! ”

In fact, Raphael understood very well why Tiramisu brought up this matter, because it was related to the vital interests of a large number of guild leaders, including herself.

The strength of the Angel's Covenant is not simply the attraction of players and the strength of elite players, if someone really looks at a big guild like this, it can only be said that this person is too simple and naΓ―ve.

A guild needs to spend a lot of money just to maintain its daily operation, because every guild member will need the guild's support for various reasons, the death caused by the dungeon reclamation, the PK caused by the grabbing of land, and the consumption of equipment and potions caused by leveling up with newcomers, if these expenses are borne by the guild members themselves, then it won't be long before the guild will be torn apart because the players below have no sense of belonging, no matter how famous this guild once had!

Therefore, in order to increase the sense of belonging of the members, but also to increase the attractiveness and combat effectiveness of the guild, the guild generates a lot of expenses every day, and where do these expenses come from? It's not enough to rely on the investment of a few guild executives, even if they are billionaires, they can't afford to throw money into it every day!

In fact, in addition to attracting capital injection from investment institutions, the most important source of funds for formal guilds such as Angel's Covenant or Spirit Sword Villa is various industries, and the city where the guild is located is naturally the best choice for developing the guild industry.

All kinds of shops, hotels, inns, and even some special industries, these scattered industries provide services for the guild's own players on the one hand, and provide financial income for the guild through commercial activities on the other hand, and only when these financial income and daily expenses are equal, or even exceeded, a guild can develop smoothly and healthily.

The Angelic Covenant is no exception. Don't look at the usual giggling and innocent appearance of the high-level guild of Bells and Tiramisu, in fact, one will make more money than the other, from the first day of the establishment of the Angel Covenant, they have established a large number of industries in the Holy City through the power that the guild has, which on the one hand provides funds for the Angel Covenant, and on the other hand, it also provides additional income for these high-level officials.

At the same time, in order to attract some masters, the Angel Covenant will sometimes take out a part of the dividends of the industry to keep these elite talents in the guild.

It is precisely with a large amount of industrial support that the Angel Covenant can come up with a large amount of gold coins to build the territory at any cost, otherwise, do you really think that these gold coins are rewards for players to contribute or brush dungeons?

And after understanding these insiders, it is understandable why Tiramisu cares so much about the guild's external control. When the Angel Covenant was strong, no one dared to touch the tiger's buttocks, so their industries would naturally be able to make money with peace of mind, and they didn't have to worry about being suddenly burned by someone one day. However, after the Covenant of the Heavenly Envoys focused on the territory, the high-level leaders, including Tiramisu, temporarily lost the protection of their estates, and the other guilds would realize that at such a time, the Angelic Covenant could not have too much power to fight against certain saboteurs.

As a result, losses that rarely occurred once a month suddenly became more frequent, and the end result of these was the loss of the interests of the guild's higher-ups, and as a member of the vested interests, Tiramisu naturally had to find a way to change the situation.

Once it involves one's own interests, even the most reasonable person has to think about it, not to mention, those who can follow Raphael to develop the covenant of angels to the current state cannot be an absolute saint, and it is normal to have their own little abacus.

"Actually, that's what bells mean!" Although Tiramisu is older than Raphael, after all, the leader of the entire Angel Covenant is still Raphael, and she doesn't want to make everyone's relationship very embarrassing, so she didn't hesitate to sell her good friend Ji, "Isn't that Prince Rasfir on good terms with you!" It's better to think of a way through him! I've heard that the Arnas Empire has a very good relationship with the Oberline Kingdom, and even one of the daughters of His Majesty Arenas is married to a certain duke of the Oberline Kingdom. ”

Although humanity was divided into several countries after the Griffon Dynasty, most of the royal families came from the former Griffon Dynasty nobility, so there was a natural sense of closeness, although for the good of the country, there would be many times when they would meet each other, but there was also no shortage of marriages between each other.

As for the prince of Rasfir mentioned by Tiramisusu, Raphael also has a headache, this guy has always wanted to capture her heart since he accompanied her to participate in the expedition to the Silver Pine Forest, and even when the Angel Covenant was first established, he also used his influence, so that Raphael could easily defeat some guilds that wanted to snipe her, and it was with the escort of the prince of the Arnas Empire and the princess of the Sadarin Kingdom that the Angel Covenant was able to survive the difficult predicament at the beginning and grow up smoothly.

But this did not make Raphael have any good impression of this prince, in fact, for the obsession of His Royal Highness Prince Rasfair, even the bell they couldn't stand it.

Fortunately, since the beginning of the battle of Sky City, His Royal Highness the prince was called back to the Arnas Empire by his father, His Majesty Arenas, and I heard that it was the age of owning a fief, according to the rules of the Arnas Empire, every descendant of the royal family must go to a certain territory of the empire to take up a post after reaching a certain age, and in this way cultivate the ability of these royal descendants to govern the country.

"Alas!" Raphael sighed, she knew that even if she prevaricated today, there would definitely be someone else to mention it tomorrow, maybe Bell, or Lexington and Saratoga, the two sisters relied on themselves to be Americans, and they were born richer than Bell as ordinary people, so they had more property in their hands.

"If the president thinks it's not okay, then forget it! I'll figure it out with the bell again! "Tiramisu also knows that he has not done this authentic thing today, and if he really wants to talk about it, it can be regarded as a forced palace.

"Come on! If you can figure it out, why will you come to me again! Raphael glanced at Tiramisu in dismay.

Tiramisu clasped his hands together and said with a smirk: "President, we can't help it!" Don't mind! ”

Raphael is no stranger to the faces of these emerging capitalists. In fact, she owns quite a few properties of her own, and the benefits she derives from them every day are no less than those of the tiramisu, so she herself suffers from this as well.

Raphael sought out too Bin for this, wanting Yu Bin to think of a way, and Yu Bin also wanted Raphael's Angelic Covenant to play a secondary role in his plan for some special purposes.

And now, the time is ripe, and with Tiramisu's actions this time, Raphael can logically propose this plan.

"Alright! In fact, I'm thinking about it too! But Prince Rasffil's side should not bother him! Raphael pretended to think about it for a moment and said, "The one who dances the most happily now is none other than the Spirit Sword Villa, and that Spirit Sword Boy is probably relying on us not being able to influence the attitude of the Oberline Kingdom, so he unscrupulously took this opportunity to retaliate against us!" ”

"That's right! If it weren't for the fact that the territory was dragging a large number of people, Mikael would have been ready to take a group of people to give them a good look! ”

"Away from home! Give away heads? Raphael spat out, "I have a better way here!" ”

"Speak quickly, speak quickly! I knew that the president would be the best! Tiramisu's eyes lit up immediately.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rasfir once introduced me to Countess Presto of the Armas Empire, who not only has a good influence in the Armas Empire, but also has a lot of connections in the surrounding countries. I think I can think of a way through her. Rafael said.

Tiramisu frowned: "Countess? But is this kind of aristocracy really willing to help us? ”

"As long as there is enough interest, I think even an earl will be happy to help us!" Raphael's words made Tiramisu agree very much, human beings are a very forgetful race, maybe a hundred years ago in the camp war, these nobles were willing to be crushed for the overall good of mankind, but now, more than a hundred years later, the long-term peace has made these nobles more and more degenerate.

"What kind of interests does the president think will appeal to the countess?"

Raphael smiled and said, "It's up to us to see what we can pay!" ”
