Chapter 39: Lying Gun

The response from the president was so quick, so sudden, so unexpected. Halfway through the code, at the moment of full concentration, the picture suddenly turned into an old face that occupied the whole screen, and Lin was so frightened that his courage was about to pop out of his mouth.

"Lord Tripwood." The president's crumpled old face tried to squeeze out a kind smile. Someone who came back to his senses didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly got up and gave a salute. "Grow up."

"I want to know the full story about what you said a few days ago."

"Yes." Immediately, Lin gave a general account of the situation on the day when the Inspector team of the Cadiz District Council came to the Great Sage's Tower. The main thing is to focus on the characteristics of the other side, with known intelligence.

But aside from the appearance, the special piece of equipment, and a name, Koos, Lin didn't get anything of value. The laser mesh was so sharp that everything was chopped up, and only a few rings were left to escape, but it wasn't a good thing either.

In response to the question, Orange Fruit Eaton also asked carefully. But most of them were not answered, because Lin himself could not figure out the situation. But the name, Koos, still reminded the old man of recent events. Said to Lin:

"As for the reason why some ombudsmen crossed the district to find you, I probably have a bit of a bottom. It all started with a dispute that happened a while ago. โ€

"Listen up."

The old man began to say that since the mall system was officially launched, the magician ecology of the entire Xijia District has changed unimaginably much. The hot business has accelerated the pace of life. The merchants affiliated to the association are non-stop all day long, contacting their peers everywhere, dispatching goods, grabbing convoys and guards, just to send the collected goods out one day earlier.

All this happened only in Wulian City. You don't need these people to run around the boundaries of the entire Siga district, you just need to go to the forum and the mall system to handle everything.

In addition to trading with the owners of magic towers in various places, a group of magicians in the same place, but with different teams, will also order goods in a centralized manner, and when the caravan is full, the caravan will transport it to the designated location. During the process, the team in charge of delivery will also disclose their scheduled arrival date on the forum, so that the orderer can come forward to pick up the order at the scheduled time without having to wait.

Lin couldn't help complaining in his heart, he had sorted out the group purchase so quickly.

In addition, due to the convenience of the mall system, the bulk goods of the nobles are also traded on this platform. In other words, the chamber of commerce affiliated to the association has changed from its original first-line status to the chambers of commerce related to the royal families and nobles of various kingdoms, and has become a predator who almost unifies the Sijia district.

When this predator seized the vast majority of trading behavior in an area, the internal personnel who were dissatisfied with the status quo naturally chose to expand outward. The reason for this is the Magic Tower, which is located on the border of the Division, and it is also a tower belonging to another Division.

As mentioned before, the Sorcerers' Guild is only a group based on interests, and it is not overly binding. The ownerless magic tower, the distribution of which belongs to a certain district, is recognized by everyone, and it is difficult to overturn and change.

However, when the magic tower has a master, the tower owner has a better relationship with which district, who he is willing to trade with, and which side of the kingdom and nobles are all the tower owner's own business, and others have no right to beak.

For the Magic Tower, which is located in the border zone, they are naturally willing to trade with a party that can provide more convenient services.

In the past, the stewards of the chambers of commerce to which the chapters belonged were a little more diligent and could gain the trust and trading needs of these tower owners. It doesn't matter which branch the tower belongs to.

However, when the mall is launched, it will be easy for tower owners who use the forum to reach it. The convenience it has makes it easier for this group of tower owners to turn into customers of the mall. The managers who saw this business opportunity were, of course, customers who were vigorously developing the border area; There were even crazy stewards who drove the caravans into the heart of the other districts.

Such an act naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the chambers of commerce in other districts, which originally regarded the area as a territory, and filed a complaint with the Sijia District Council. It's just that according to the precedent of such a thing, usually the district replies: If the stewards of your chamber of commerce do not work hard, the official statement will be over. The rest is that the people below show their powers.

But now, the advantage of the mall is something that people in other areas can't catch up with no matter how hard they try. So some yin tricks, small actions that can't keep up with the stream, are launched. In response to these injustices, the Siga district has unceremoniously fought back.

"In other words, our people crossed the line in order to make money."

"Hehe, yes. That's right, it's overlooked. โ€

Looking at the smiling face of the president, whose eyes were almost invisible, Lin felt very innocent. As a system developer, but to help the business with the black pot, this kind of bad thing, it seems that no matter which world will happen.

Orange Fruit Eaton seemed to have nothing to do with him, and continued: "Koos should be the surname of the Cadiz District Council, the family name of the Chamber of Commerce in charge of the border zone. It's just that today they sent a team of ombudsmen, and the meaning is different. I'll ask the president of the Cadiz branch to see what they mean. Those who study knowledge should not be distracted by other chores. So Your Excellency, please wait patiently for my news, and I will give you an explanation. โ€

"Yes, thank you very much for your care and support, Grow Up."

"By the way, by the way, did that team of ombudsmen leave, or is it ......?"

Since the tower owner to which he belongs can come forward to complain, of course, he has not been arrested. Then the inspectors who came to arrest people should have been beaten away, after all, there is only one team and the number of five people. It's not so easy to attack a prepared magic tower.

What Orange Fruit Eaton wanted to ask was actually how many people were injured and how many people were gone. Although the number of casualties will not affect the outcome of the negotiations, it is better to know the current situation than to know nothing.

Just watching Gabrash Tripwood's writhing and stopping, it seemed that the result was beyond his expectations.

"Actually, Elder, I don't think any of them will be able to go back."

Astound. Because if it were to be described by Tripwood, that Ombudsman team would most likely be the leading Grim Reaper team under the Cadiz Order. There are three great magicians in it. And if you want to be a member of this team, strength is not a problem.

Orange Fruit Eaton was a little surprised that a member of the Coos family could join this team. Now this prestigious team has been cleaned up by a rookie tower owner to half of it, what does this mean.

Seeing his own president's face change, Lin Zhen was a little uneasy, and asked urgently: "Elder, shouldn't this allow them to form an alliance to trouble me?" โ€

"Coalition forces?" Orange Fruit Eaton was also rejuvenated by this word, stopped his thoughts, and said calmly: "Don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen, because they don't have enough righteous reputation, and there won't be magicians willing to follow." That Ombudsman team will go to you for trouble, and it is estimated that one of the members is a member of the family who had a dispute with us before, so he will behave like this. โ”€โ”€โ€

As if to comfort people, Orange Fruit Eaton also said: "Not to mention that the matter of the coalition attacking the tower has always been the first request of the district council, and no branch has formed a coalition to attack the magic tower that does not belong to the jurisdiction. If they do, Siga will be your back, and you'll be able to compete with them. So don't worry. โ€

Is this the rhythm that is going to evolve into a world war? Lin was even more worried.

But Orange Eaton is another reason not to start a big fight. "Besides, you have the strength to kill a squad of Ombudsmen in one go. Anyone who wants to attack the tower will assess how much it will cost to succeed. Not to mention that from the very beginning, there was no righteous name attacking you. In this case, there would be people who would be willing to join the attack on the Great Sage's Tower, but I don't think there is any. As for the strength of a chamber of commerce family itself, the mage you killed is probably the strongest. The rest of the people can't be the opponent of a tower master. โ€

So, can you feel at ease? The heart that Lin hung in his throat never felt let go.

Orange Fruit Eaton finally said, "I think you have achieved this result because of your transformation of the Great Sage's Tower. With the original facilities of that tower, such a thing could not be done. โ€

"Yes, I improved ......"

"Stop! Go without saying. Orange Fruit Eaton interrupted someone who wanted to tell the whole story, and earnestly admonished, "It's a good thing to have improvements, just write the content into the Magic Tower journal so that the successor can understand it." It's time to keep it a secret from anyone else. As long as fewer people know your methods, the harder it will be for them to devise a method against you, and the more chips you will have to rely on the magic tower to save your life. In this way, it will be good for you and for us. โ€

Listening to this life-threatening suggestion, Lin Ke was sincerely grateful. He bowed seriously. "Yes, I will grow up."

"Well, young man, don't worry too much. I'll take care of this for you. Focus on your research and mentoring your apprentices. I am very optimistic that your two disciples will be able to learn from your wisdom. With a slight nod, Orange Eaton ended the conversation.

Looking at the picture on the mercury mirror energy pool, it returned to its original appearance. Lin didn't immediately go back to his original assignment, but tried to clarify the information he had just received and the situation he would face. And then I came to the conclusion that I don't need to take this to heart at all.

In the spirit of not changing to change, the district of Cadiz is not its own superior unit; And in terms of geographical location, if the other party wants to kill it with great fanfare, it has to pass through the hinterland of Xijia District. Let's not talk about whether there will be other obstacles, I will definitely get the news in advance and be prepared.

Since the emperor is far away, what is he in a hurry to do. Do what you do, just do it, and it makes sense not to pay attention to that group of talents.
