Many academic mages will set up their own affiliated mercenary groups after having a certain amount of money, and the benefits of doing so are numerous.

First, it is cheaper and more efficient to obtain the experimental materials you need.

Researchers who set up affiliated mercenary groups, as long as they have materials in their own mercenary groups, use them at cost price. Without the transportation costs and price increases in the middle links, although each transaction is not too much for the academy mage, in the long run, it will save a very considerable amount of expenses over time.

And some of the materials that they urgently need can be given priority to the affiliated mercenary group to find, which not only meets their experimental needs in a timely manner, but also avoids being maliciously raised by others, which is an extremely convenient and fast thing.

Second, their own mercenary group can conduct practical application experiments with the mature experimental results of academic mages.

After the successful development of a research result, it often encounters all kinds of troubles and finds many deficiencies in practical use. At this time, although it can be upgraded and improved, it often takes more time and effort, and some customers who use the initial immature version will also be lost.

After you have a mercenary group, you can try out your research results in the affiliated mercenary group first, and improve them after listening to the feedback results. In this way, after several versions of improvement, a more satisfactory result is achieved before it is introduced to the market, which tends to achieve greater success. Now this step is becoming more and more important.

Moreover, because the affiliated mercenary groups can often be given priority to the use of the latest experimental results of some academic mages, they are often more powerful than other mercenary groups in terms of combat effectiveness. While the results of an experiment make the affiliated mercenary group stronger, it is also to promote their own products, which will become extremely popular once they are put on the market after the temporary trial improvement period, which will be a two-way thing.

Thirdly, the affiliated mercenary group can also do many other things on behalf of the academy mages, such as what Ciri wants to do now - protect his family.

You must know that academic mages have more wealth and power, so they also need people to protect themselves, even if their own abilities are generally very good, but some things are not done by one person alone. And no matter how good you are, sometimes you will be unable to do anything.

The things that the academy mages want to protect are even more varied, protecting themselves, protecting their families, and protecting their friends all need manpower, and sometimes even some immature field materials need to be guarded and protected by a subsidiary mercenary group.

Although Ciri is still only a small internship substitute teacher, he has unexpectedly gained a lot of windfall during this time, so that he has the ability to establish his own subsidiary mercenary group at the stage of internship substitute teaching, and now there is such a very suitable opportunity in front of him.

Most of the members of the Leo Mercenary Regiment, Ciri, are very familiar, even the two they just met seem to be relatively honest, and Ciri also believes in Uncle Leo's vision. You must know that for a mercenary team, the most important thing is definitely loyalty, not ability. Because this is their partner who will rely on each other in the future, they can train and grow if they have low ability, and other team members can make up for it, but once they are betrayed, what awaits this kind of mercenary team is definitely a catastrophe of group annihilation.

Therefore, the selection of team members often has to go through many tests, and they have to be born and died together before they can be used as official members as partners, and the selection of members of the mercenary team is the real rather than indiscriminate, after all, this is a matter related to personal wealth and life, and there is no room for carelessness.

That's right, Ciri is planning to turn Leo into his own subordinate mercenary group. Ciri doesn't need Leo to be strong now, and he doesn't need Leo to do anything else, just let them provide him with some magic materials while they run normally, and protect his family by the way. To be precise, they basically only need to provide some adventure materials that Ciri can use, and Ciri's parents are not in any danger at all, and with their strength, they can't protect anything now.

Now Ciri's efforts are far greater than the rewards, he not only has to bear all the development capital needs of this future mercenary group, which is still a mercenary team, but also research an experimental result as soon as possible to help Leo and them make a name for themselves and establish a certain external advantage, so as to promote the rapid development of the mercenary group. And Leo only needs to do the original thing, and from now on, they don't have to worry about the development of the mercenary group, because how can the mercenary group supported by the academy mage develop into a large mercenary group in the end, and Leo and they rely on themselves, it is basically impossible to break through the restrictions of small mercenary groups.

However, although the affiliated mercenary group can't help them much now, it is still a long-term investment with rich returns in the future.

Ciri thought about it carefully, and then told him about his identity as an academic mage and his desire to establish a relationship with Leo and his affiliated mercenary group.

Two equally bombshell news blew up Leo and them for a long time.

Leo originally only heard that Ciri stayed at the school to work after graduation, and thought that he was a service mage of the academy, which is basically a typical example of flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xirui not only became a master, but also became a master of the masters, and became the academy mage of the Flowers Academy. He was not as untold as the Cirishizers, and although Leo had been begging for a living near Joseph, he had more access to the upper class of mainstream society than the Cizers. More than once, he had heard those nobles and mages who were usually high up in the sky and mages passing by talk with a very envious expression about the real top class and social managers such as academic mages, a profession in which both nobles and other mages had sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze in, but no one had ever succeeded.

Now Xiao Xirui has not only become an academy mage, but also can come up with a huge fortune in a short period of half a year after graduation, which makes them unable to break their heads, it seems that it is really like the legend, every academy mage is a living gold mountain and silver mine. Well, in fact, Leo really thought about it, most of the academic mages didn't make much money because they didn't have any research results in the period of time after they just graduated, and there was absolutely no internship substitute like Xi Rui who earned his first pot of gold by relying on something else before his research was completed.

After the initial shock, it took Leo and the others to react and discuss Ciri's suggestion for a moment. As for whether or not to become Ciri's affiliated mercenary group, the team members quickly passed the decision to agree to Ciri.

In fact, for them, this discussion is all about taking a look at the situation, because they wanted to become a subsidiary mercenary group of the Whispering Society through Ciri at the beginning, after all, through their own efforts, risk-taking and throttling expenses, it is not impossible to raise the money for the mercenary group's station, but it also wastes a lot of time.

Even if there are a few of them after the mercenary group is established, this mercenary group is at most a small mercenary group, and it is basically finalized. But it's different if they are still attached to a large organization, not only do they not have to worry about the problem of funds, but they and the mercenary group's future development and future are also guaranteed to a certain extent.

Now that Ciri has proposed to become his vassal mercenary group, Leo would be a better choice than becoming a subordinate mercenary group of the Whispering Society.

First of all, there are many affiliated mercenary groups in the Whispering Society, and even if they succeed in becoming someone else's affiliated mercenary group, they are also marginal organizations with little sense of existence, and the treatment can be imagined. Ciri is different, they are the only affiliated mercenary group of Ciri, and of course they will be absolutely valued and cared for by Ciri.
