This kind of thing is already commonplace in the Zephyr Continent.

For example, 10,000 years ago, humans formed an alliance to fight against tyrannical monsters.

For example, thousands of years ago, humans formed an alliance to fight against dungeon monsters.

Human beings have formed alliances more than a few times, not to mention guild alliances, which are simply too numerous to mention.

The purpose of the alliance is very simple, it is all for the sake of interests, the weak want to fight for benefits, the strong want to preserve interests, and no one wants to suffer.

Just like right now, the Giant Stone Guild and my guild are allied, and they also have their own interests.

I hope that with the union of the Boulder Guild, I will give the other guilds who are afraid to come and befriend me, so that they can grow and prosper.

Stowe didn't say his purpose, but he also knew that any guild would like to be able to tie up with the five major guilds, and an alliance with the new Heroic Guild would mean that it would be close to the two major guilds of the Iron Wolf Guild and the Dwarf Guild, which is simply a benefit.

In this regard, he didn't say it thoroughly, I didn't break it, both of them knew it, and they had a very tacit understanding.

The contract was signed, the banquet was held, and the matter was announced to the entire Dasai City through the Dasai City Daily, and it was vigorously fried.

For a while, in addition to the fierce and exciting Japanese Wind Tournament, the most eye-catching thing was the alliance between the New Heroic Guild and the Boulder Guild.

As Stowe said, on the day the news was announced, negative news followed, and all kinds of rhetoric condemning the Monolithic Guild for breaking away from the people and clinging to the powerful smashed into the Boulder Guild and the New Heroic Guild.

Stoto is really a character, and in the face of great pressure, he is silent, what to do and what to continue to do.

I also told Jin Siqi everything about the matter, and held a cadre meeting that night to tell all cadres that no matter how fierce the negative public opinion in the outside world is, they should not know what to be busy with.

In this way, the two guilds, with a cold attitude, greeted the negative news that smashed us.

As Stowe expected, within three days, the negative news collapsed.

The main thing is that we always have no attitude, and the media does not dare to wantonly make false fabrications, and by the third day, there were very few people who paid attention to this matter, and finally, the media decided to give up.

However, the matter is not so simple.

On the fourth day, a person who said he knew the inside story popped up, and as soon as this person came out, he instantly made headlines.

So the alliance was once again hyped up.

Stowe met with me, and he looked confused: "Who is that man?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know." ”

"Then how dare you go against the wind?" Stowe wondered, "Aren't you afraid of making a feud with us?" ”

"Maybe I'm scared too."

"Afraid of coming out?" Stowe frowned, his hands crossed, clasped together, a look of displeasure.

"There are always some people who think that not being in the limelight is more terrible than death."

Pinching my chin, I thought for a moment, turned to Jin Siqi, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Jin Siqi thought for a while and said, "He probably did it on purpose." ”

"Huh?" Stowe, and Harold, and I, were in unison, wondering.

"Have you ever thought about the alliance between our two guilds, who will lose the most?" Jin Siqi asked.

I thought for a moment and said, "Blacksmith? ”

Generally, large guilds have their own blacksmiths, or hire blacksmiths to be stationed at a high price.

The same goes for the Boulder Guild.

The original blacksmiths of the Boulder Guild relied on external hiring, and most of the external blacksmiths were orc masters, hired with high salaries, please ask them to teach the guild's blacksmith apprentices, and after they become teachers, let the blacksmith apprentices who have become hands, oh, at this time, it is no longer a blacksmith apprentice, but a blacksmith, and then let the blacksmith serve the guild.

A set of processes often takes years and is extremely expensive, not only to pay for metal materials, but also to pay huge learning fees for master blacksmiths.

Especially now, the Boulder Guild is growing stronger and more blacksmiths are needed, so the guild has to accept more blacksmith apprentices on the original basis to cultivate and grow.

In order to ensure that each apprentice can have a skill, the guild has to invest again and hire a master blacksmith for one-on-one teaching.

In this way, the cost is even greater.

However, since the alliance with our guild, old Pache and other goblin craftsmen have settled in the Boulder Guild as guests, or recruited friends, and recruited all the craftsmen to help together.

And the Giant Stone Guild no longer needs to pay huge fees, only needs to pay a daily salary, plus external employment fees, plus favor fees, well, on the whole, it is not more than one-third of the money for hiring a master craftsman.

In this way, those master craftsmen who might have been hired externally have lost a lot of income, and they are naturally unwilling, so it is understandable to take this opportunity to vent their anger.

"Master craftsmen won't do this kind of thing, Xiao Yi" Jin Siqi shook his head and smiled: "They are all rich and famous, and they won't lose their good reputation accumulated for many years for this little thing." ”

is always a little disappointed to be rejected by one sentence, but what Jin Siqi said also makes sense, since the master craftsman can be called a master, he must have excellent craftsmanship and a great reputation.

People with a big reputation don't ruin their reputation for a sum or two.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel ashamed of my little family's bearing.

Harold thought for a moment and said, "Could it be some competitor?" ”

He explained, "It's the guild that always competes with you on weekdays. ”

There is a point in that.

The opponent who often competes together on weekdays suddenly climbs to the top and soars into the sky, he is bound to have a thought: why is he so lucky!

So he hated him, thinking of the law to smear him and dismantle him, which is not impossible.

After all, no one wants their competitors to be better off than they are.

"The folk guild is dedicated to the people, and it never confronts the powerful, where is the enemy?" Jin Siqi said, she said, handed a pile of materials to Harold, and said: "Look at the above, it is recorded that there are few guilds that are hostile to the Boulder Guild, and it is all because the Boulder Guild is more popular than them, and I sent someone to ask secretly, the presidents of those guilds said that they do not hate the Boulder Guild, but they are not willing to dedicate themselves to the civilians of Dasai City less than him, so that the guild that is dedicated to the people will not make a big fuss because of the alliance between the Boulder Guild and us." ”

Harold took the document and flipped through a few pages, his old face flushed, and he was very ashamed.

Jin Siqi turned to Stowe and said, "Mr. Stowe, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Hmm," Stowe thought for a moment, "maybe it's the organizations that benefit from us." ”

"Please elaborate," Kim said.

"As you know, because of the rapid development of my Giant Stone Guild, we need more money and materials, but we serve the majority of civilians, and the way to obtain money is mostly monster farming and guard work, so many times, we have to rely on those usury organizations to help mediate the empty treasury, since the alliance with you, thanks to the care of President Jin Siqi, I can borrow from you at a very low interest rate to supplement domestic demand, but this practice is greatly detrimental to the interests of usury organizations, so, I think, this person, Probably one of the means of retaliation by these groups. ”
