Section 8: Big Thick Legs (Part II)

Next, Salevi gave an introduction to the internal situation of the Anomalous Master Guild. &&&Baidu Search:

The Anomalous Guild is very large, and its basic structure is composed of three levels: the general association, the chapter, and the temporary chapter, as well as some strange and mysterious affiliates.

Although they could not set up their mission offices in every inland city like the Radiant Church, they were able to weave a huge net over the continent by virtue of their extraordinary powers.

The headquarters of the Guild of Anomalous Masters is located in "Wolfgang" on the "Frederick Plains", which is the city founded by the founder of the Guild, Master Frederick, and is also a sacred place in the hearts of the Anomalists.

Wolfgang is not an empty shell, it has the supreme management and external functions of the Psychic Master Guild, and even has the right to declare war, and it also has the highest place of study of the guild, the highest training college, and the most precious and comprehensive ability information...... "The right to declare war?" Townsend was interested: "Have you used it?"

"No, right? If anyone is not honest, they will always post a post to pay attention to it, and at most condemn it and solve it. Salevi was taken aback, and it took a long time before he replied solemnly: "If war is always declared, it will be almost the end of the world." ”

"Okay, when I didn't ask. Townsend was honest in the gaze of a certain eldest sister: "You go on." ”

"Now it's time for the chapters......

In the huge structure of the guild, the level of chapters is indispensable, because each chapter has accumulated quite a strong force, directly fighting with the local forces, and even an important guarantee for the stability of the major forces...... For example, the local suppression of rebellion, if you want to change the king, it's really hard to nod without a branch.

Since its establishment, the guild's attitude towards this kind of thing has not changed: uproot it without my consent!

Unfortunately, the West Coast isn't a good place to be, and the local Anomalous Chapter is a bit lacking. There is no doubt that the West Coast chapter is the most xiǎo of all the chapters, and even less than some temporary chapters in terms of staffing size.

In terms of control and influence, West Coast chapters are far less powerful and efficient than other clubs.

However, there are two special circumstances to take into account here, the first is that the West Coast region has a very special composition of residents, with less than 1 in 10 of the popularity of the Guild Enlightenment brochure (3 pages), and second, because there are such evil organizations as the Dawn Council in the West Coast region, these evil organizations are not only extremely vicious, but also have no regard for appearance, and there have even been cases of large groups of fire masters hunting down and killing Epistles...... To be able to maintain normalcy in such a situation, the entire club has done its best.

The West Coast chapter is the same as the other chapters only in terms of a high-level structure: the branch leader is a Level 5 Ability, the two Vice-Presidents are Level 4 Ability, and the six Patrols and six Mentors are Level 3...... There are only so many official officials, except for training, battles, and special supplies, other miscellaneous deacons and stewards are all served by apprentices who have no hope of promotion.

The weakness of the West Coast Chapter is at the basic level, with nearly thirty second-level and more than forty junior masters, only one of the three on average, and the number of apprentices at all levels is even more disproportionate.

What's worse is that there are three groups of people at this point: one is the training academy, which leads the research of abilities or something, the second is the combat group, which is responsible for supporting the scene and kicking the field, and the third is the ...... According to Townsend's understanding, these people are hun eating and waiting to die, and there are people above who accompany them to drink, or they will hula and run to other branches to find someone to drink.

Although Salevi did not + passionately said it, Townsend knew that the three groups were involved in internal strife, two opposing and one neutral.

But he remembered what Marcia had said, so he didn't rush to ask. This kind of thing is particularly important, and only Marcia's explanation is pertinent.

And Townsend didn't know where Salevi belonged, and now he asked, maybe he would be taken into the ditch by Salevy. But Salevi had no intention of soliciting temptation, and after a detailed introduction, he got up and took his leave.

Before leaving, he also took charge of several merchant groups on behalf of them, asking them to report to the guild as soon as possible in the name of "Paranormal Attaché", and the merchant group to which the branch belonged could take care of them. In this case, it will be very convenient to do business in Yintao City, as long as it does not involve the business monopolized by the royal family, then there is no need for a guarantee.

The others behaved so caringly, and Townsend was not too cold, so he got up and sent Salevi outside the mén. Then he was surprised to find that in half of the inn he had passed, the idlers and others were gone, and that a long line of carriages was parked under the wall outside the mén, only to be blocked by Salevy's retinue.

It seems that Salevi is right, these people are all running to pull the relationship by themselves.

After Salevi had left, a caravan steward came up to Townsend with a stack of business cards, saying that they had been sent by the guests.

"If the businessmen are concerned, you can talk to them, and there is no hurry in business matters, because our status has not yet been determined, so let's delay it first. Townsend didn't answer: "All the irrelevant people politely declined." ”

Townsend really didn't have time, and Marcia and Vahu must still be waiting for him.

Sure enough, when he entered the yard, Townsend saw that the eldest sister Tou and Vahu were eating roasted rou, and their movements were extremely heroic. Townsend was helpless, so he only took a fruit. &&&Baidu Search:

"Mysterious, what are your plans?" "Marcia didn't put down the dishes until she wiped out the whole plate of roasted rou, it seemed like she was working hard today, and one of the consequences of her massive use of the ability was to eat rou, eat a lot of rou.

"For me, the promotion of the Anomalist is not the main purpose of this trip, but the most important thing is to open up the situation for the Thorn Rose. In order to achieve this goal, we must straighten out the upper echelons of the Silver Sè Coast. Fortunately, things are going well on the guild's side, and the next details are not troublesome. Townsend replied bluntly: "So, it's time for us to change direction." ”

"In terms of conversion?" Marcia was surprised, "but your special promotion ......"

"I know the matter of promotion, and I will never make a mistake. Townsend replied: "Before, the steward came back to report, what kind of prince, he actually openly recruited the escort half a month ago......"

"Uh...... It's just a conscription, what's so special?" Marcia was confused: "Maybe it's understaffed, right?"

"Marcia, you may not be familiar with the secrecy of the seclusion of the secular bureaucracy, but you should know the customs of the family, such as your family, if your family cultivates intimate guards, will you use open recruitment?"

"No," Marcia replied, "we will be raised from xiǎo, and we will grow up with the heir from about the age of seven." ”

"Yes, the same is true of the bureaucratic aristocracy, as long as the conditions allow, the guards will never be openly recruited. Townsend said: "It's a SI document, signed by Prince Pfister." In other words, our prince is going to start making trouble, and the scale is not Xiǎo. ”

"Will it?" Marcia looked at Townsend suspiciously, "Then what are you going to do with His Highness Pfister?"

"It's nothing more than two cases. First of all, Prince Pfister felt that he was in danger, because he was facing a casting seal, and someone might look at him unpleasantly because of it. Therefore, he needs people to recruit a group of forces that have nothing to do with their opponents. ”

"For example, if you want to bring down the old bureaucracy, you have to use the new generation of bureaucrats. If you use the same xing power to fight the other party, then you will be sold by your subordinates sooner or later. Townsend said: "This method is not very reliable, to put it bluntly, it is a bit of a rush to the doctor." Ad-hoc recruits may not be useful unless you want to use them to raise the flag and attract attention. ”

"Kind of makes sense. Marcia nodded, thoughtful.

"Secondly, our Prince Pfister may not be a fuel-efficient lamp. He may be very dark and decisive, and he has decided early on to fight a tough battle with those who oppose him," Townsend smiled: "Then this recruitment act is part of his series of plans." The purpose of this is to concentrate and control the free forces of Yintao City!"

"Control what they do?"

"I can absorb some of the other party's spies, and maybe His Royal Highness the prince can use these people to distract the opponent's attention when he is doing things - this is not a change that determines Xing, but it can also have a certain effect. ”

"It's possible...... "Marcia has the foundation, and he understands it when he thinks about it along Townsend's train of thought: "So you want to?"

"I'm going to find a way to get into this convoy. Townsend stopped the dissuasion that Marcia was about to export: "It has just been analyzed, and we currently know nothing about the interior of the Silver Sè Coast, and the information is almost blank. Although this escort team is not a core, it must be full of information, and I can always find some useful information when I go in and walk around. ”

"Are you going to do a big job?" Marcia looked puzzled: "I can inquire about this kind of information within the branch." ”

"But the level is different. Townsend snapped his fingers, and the two xiǎo adjutants who were on standby by the mén immediately ran over, set up the xiǎo table, laid out the paper and pen, and then looked up at Townsend: "Strategic intelligence is divided into three parts, peacetime, pre-war and war. In the pre-war intelligence, the structure, power distribution and mutual correspondence of the opposing leader's layer are what you can find out about Marcia. ”

"And another level, such as the other leader's personality, preferences, living habits, decision-making habits, etc., can be obtained in the escort team. This kind of detail is the evidence for judging the direction of major events. Townsend said, "There are many people in the escort, and there are no less rumors, and I can get the most intuitive things by looking closely...... If the timing is right, I'll try to reach out to the top as well. ”

"But you still have to complete a special promotion. Marcia said, "You can't be in two places at the same time. ”

"I don't need to remember that. Townsend Jiāo finished acting as an adjutant, and then smiled at Marcia: "Actually, I can ......"

Townsend even flipped through the explanation, but Marcia still disagreed, she was such a xingge, although she did not drag the mud and water, but she was absolutely firm on matters of principle, especially when this kind of thing involved Townsend's safety.

There was no way, Townsend had to give out the whole set of plans and plates, including the backhand of the response, and finally convinced the eldest sister that Townsend really needed to do it, and that the danger had been minimized.

"In this case, everything Xiǎo heart, I will cover for you. Marcia sighed, thought for a moment and said, "Originally, I was going to talk about the internal factions of the Wizard Guild after you completed the promotion, but now that you are going to do this, there are a lot of implications, I think it is better for you to know first." ”

"Indeed, I estimate that the upper echelons of the Silver Sè Coast are entangled with the Anomalous Master Guild. Townsend nodded: "The more information, the better." ”

"Vahu, you also have to listen carefully, this is the source of the internal disputes within the Anomalous Master Guild. Marcia's back straightened, "You know, there were abilities before the birth of the Anomalous Master Guild. At that time, people could only simply accumulate experience and did not understand the principle at all. So the ability developed very slowly, and it didn't change until our first president came along. ”

"Yes, that's the foundation of the Psychic Guild. Townsend nodded.

"What happened later was somewhat unexpected, because the Radiant Church was too strong, so the Miracle Master Guild became more or less the expectation of those who opposed the church. "Although the guild didn't want to be in the early stages of its development, you can't change the opinion of most people...... More and more people want to join and join the guild, so the composition of the guild is becoming more and more complex, and there are people from all countries and races, and even some people who are more ji. ”

"The Psychic Guild's non-discriminatory attitude was one of the reasons why I decided to join. Townsend approvingly, his mouth sweet as if he had smeared honey: "Second only to your help to me." ”

"After this situation continued, there were a lot of inconsistent voices within the guild, let's explain this situation in another way......" Marcia smiled a little embarrassed, "Sorry, there are some words I can't ...... say"

"I understand, I'm really sorry for you. "Townsend was really a little touched.

"Let's put it this way...... If you are a normal ability apprentice, then starting as a beginner apprentice, the guild will sponsor you, not only money, but also a variety of ability materials suitable for your level. "But the amount of materials a full-fledged ability master needs is very different from the amount an apprentice needs, because your ability training involves a lot of experiments......

"Experiment?" Townsend was no longer surprised, and with the experience of the Dream Hall, he was sure that he was not in the laboratory to work hard in the technical stream - the so-called training, and he still had a lingering feeling in retrospect.

"That's right, it's an experiment. Marcia nodded: "The development of the Ability Guild is largely inseparable from the experiment. This is because the achievements of each generation of masters, starting from the first generation of presidents, are based on theories, constantly put forward hypotheses, and then verify them. ”

"Therefore, exploring, perceiving, hypothesizing, and verifying this mature set of methods is the real advantage of the Miracle Master, and it is also the real capital that we can compete with the Radiant Church. ”

"You mean to say that there is a group of people in the guild who are otaku...... No...... Is that the kind of person who spends all day in the lab?"
