Chapter 497: A Thank-You Gift That Didn't Be Delivered

The exchange between the envoy of the Wizards' Association of Riches Jane and someone, in addition to the granting of the great magicians, is also an invitation to the headquarters of the branch. Even if you are willing to stay for a long time, you can provide one or two seats for the Chapter.

Someone who was accustomed to watching the news and some court struggle dramas before crossing over immediately thought that this was an award of a political nature. And the two sides of the wrestling are, of course, the Wizards' Guild and the Vida Militar. After all, although the magicians are not oppressed to the point of not being able to raise their heads within the military state, they are not in a high position.

originally thought that obtaining the qualification of the great magician of the Lizejan branch would inevitably have to cooperate with them to do some political propaganda, but in the end, the other party still did not make relevant requests. I don't know if it's because the magicians aren't good at politics, or because they don't dare to overstimulate the militarists.

However, for this kind of title taken for nothing, someone will not be so reserved as to push it out. Anyway, one of the reasons given to the Grand Wizard was about the right to sell magic related to the Open Browser Technique, in order to establish the Charlie Richard Wizard Fund, which helped many magic apprentices to their exploits. This benefit is tangible to the association, and it is not impossible to change the title of a great magician.

In the exchange, the only thing that the old envoy mentioned about someone was about the use of the mall forum in the southwest peninsula. In fact, Lin handed over the disposal rights to the Xijia District Council in the Southwest Peninsula a long time ago, after all, it was a buyout at the beginning. Later, when someone mentioned it, it was also pushed to the Xijia District Council.

After experiencing the division of the mall forum of the four districts of the Southwest Peninsula, the Xijia branch did not hold the mall forum program too persistently. Because the caravan's capacity is so large, and it is too far away, there is no stake at all.

Therefore, the Siga District simply opened the program of the Mall Forum to all the districts of the Wizards Association, and there were two terms in exchange. First, except for the Chamber of Commerce affiliated to the Wizards Association, it is not open to the noble and ordinary Chamber of Commerce.

This monopoly agreement, of course, was unconditionally approved by the presidents of all the districts; On the other hand, to establish a mall forum, you need at least a magic tower's energy pool, which is not something that ordinary chambers of commerce can do.

The second condition is that when Sijia District wants to trade special products with other regions, it will give certain preferential treatment. This is not a problem for the Wizards' Guild Divisions in traditional areas.

Because of the relationship between transportation capacity and the problem of taxation along the way, this situation of cross-district trading is too small to be small for the interests of the entire sub-district. Take this small profit and change it to a commercial platform, no matter how you calculate it, you won't lose money.

However, with the program of the mall forum, the establishment of other districts is also bumpy. After all, when someone was writing, he didn't take into account problems such as one-click installation and fool clicking. This is because at that time, he had planned to rely on the opportunity to customize the adjustment program and earn him a few more wages.

Of course, after the popularization of the P language, it is not too difficult to delve into the setting of the mall forum on your own. But when it comes to adjusting, users will have doubts about whether they are doing the right thing. This emissary of the Lizejan district actually raised only such a question.

Basically, as long as it is used normally, there will be no major problems. When Lin was designing, he only made extremely rigorous and correct design for functions related to buying and selling, such as inventory and shopping carts. In addition, there will inevitably be some small bugs. Someone's approach is to pretend to be blind and revise something, it's too troublesome. Anyway, I don't like this set.

In the exchange, it was the magic related to the flashing technique, and the messenger didn't ask a word. This is also a tacit understanding between magicians. When I was in the Tower of the Great Sage, I met the first time with the Grand Wizard Greenwin, who was the Inspector, and the other party would ask for a browser, because the magic had nothing to do with combat, but only with the convenience of life.

Flashing is a kind of magic related to fighting and life-saving, if another magician says, you can tell this thing, and everyone will study it. The meaning is equivalent to that Lao Tzu is going to you, so obediently take out the weaknesses and characteristics of this magic and let me crack it.

If the magician on the other side is weak, that's fine. If the other party is very strong, this is about the same as turning the other cheek.

And a lot of knowledge related to attack magic in the guild is actually compiled from those manuscripts after the death of the predecessors. Or maybe the attack magic is already well known and outdated to the creator, and it doesn't hurt if it is known, so it can be taken out and handed over to the guild.

When the business is done with all the politeness, the messenger of the Magician Association can be said to come and go in a hurry, without any delay. Of course, there are a lot of courtesies that should be done, as well as the benefits that should be in place, and it will not give people a perfunctory feeling. It can be said that this great magician's attitude is quite accurate, so that people will not feel offended.

When the visiting guests left one by one, Baron Engels, as the landlord, appeared in front of Lin again. With the grand etiquette of not losing the face of the nobility, he cautiously entertained Lin and the others. He said, "Your Excellency Tripwood, the grace you have given to you a few days ago for defeating the notorious water pirates and giving the Po River its waterways the tranquility of free navigation. In particular, it is invaluable to learn about sake brewing and scalding from you. If you keep quiet, you will be a member of the aristocracy. I want to prepare a gift of thanks, but I don't know what you want. So as a result of my consultation with my wife, I decided to let you make any request for your needs. We will do our best to meet your needs. ”

Seeing that the baron was speaking very seriously, Lin also noticed a slight change in his status in the hearts of others from the performance of these visitors. couldn't help but flutter and said, "In that case, can you give me a magic tower?" If not, it's no problem to help me build one, but I have a lot of high-grade materials for building towers. ”

"This ......"

Looking at the baron's embarrassed expression, Lin knew that even if he didn't understand the world anymore, he knew that he was too much. Haha laughed twice and said, "Just kidding, don't mind kidding." I also know that those things are worth a magic tower so much that it's a lion's mouth to mention. ”

In fact, since leaving Wulian City, which is the headquarters of the Xijia District Council in the Southwest Peninsula, Lin has had a feeling that the Wizards Association seems unwilling to let him settle in any magic tower.

You must know that the price of entering the Great Sage's Tower was only two thousand gold coins (MM Kiel) that had been saved for eight years. This is also because the Tower of the Great Sage was in the worst grade in the evaluation of the association at that time, and there were some unspeakable troubles in the surrounding environment - that is, the villagers who oppressed the previous tower owner, - there was such a cheap price.

If you want to use the view before the crossing, it is a dilapidated house and murderous house in the suburbs that no one has cleaned up. Let's not mention the problem of Ah Piao, if you want to settle in, the decoration cost is not more expensive than the house price.

But with someone's current net worth, not to mention entering the five-story tower of the Dharma Saint level, or entering the four-story tower in the name of Fen's great magic, if you choose the most ordinary three-story magic tower, it is more than enough. Unfortunately, no matter which branch of the Wizards' Guild you go through, you always get polite refusals.

Once or twice, someone also got a sense that the Wizards' Guild didn't want to let themselves own the idea of a magic tower.

Since the path of a magician is not working, it is not an unacceptable problem to change to the noble route. But this involves a most basic problem, most of the tower owners that the nobles can influence are the kind of magic towers located in the city. Or a new tower built with the financial resources of the national level.

Because of the rules in the Wizards' Association, the owner of the new tower must be the builder, and it cannot be someone else. Even if the builder is a wicked bastard, or if the nobles have contributed much in the process, they will not be forced to be replaced by someone else.

This is also because if any of the divisions use the reason that the mage is not suitable to be the owner of the tower, forcing the mage who built his own magic tower to hand over the ownership of the magic tower, it will cause a serious crisis of trust between the association and the mage. It is not surprising that the association will collapse as a result. After all, the association is not a dictatorship that can be said in a word.

And to get the nobles to agree to a certain magician, and to be in the magic towers that such nobles can influence or help build, the most important thing is trust. Otherwise, if you hand over the magic tower to a magician who is hostile to you, you won't feel uncomfortable.

However, such a foundation of trust does not exist between the Lin and Engels families. So if you say something to yourself without thinking about it, someone can only take it as a joke and laugh awkwardly a few times. At the same time, the fluttering feeling was instantly disillusioned, and the mood could be said to have fallen to the bottom.

It's like when you were on Earth, you always got a lot of moral support when you encountered trouble and difficulties, but in fact it didn't work at all. All kinds of verbal but unreal words will only make people disgusting if they hear too much.

In this awkward atmosphere, the baron's wife, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Huy, said: "Your Excellency, I guess it should be your long-cherished wish to have a magic tower again. Can you listen to my suggestion? ”

"Oh, ma'am, please." Forgetting the previous embarrassment, Lin was quite interested in what kind of advice this person would make.

"If you wish to obtain a magic tower with the help of the nobles, you may wish to go to the holy city of Estari. Most nobles who wish to seek the help of powerful magicians but do not have their own channels will recruit the right people in the Holy City. Moreover, under the witness of the Eight Powers, the magician will make a pact not to be an enemy of the nobles who recruit him, so as to build mutual trust between the two parties. If you find a nobleman who is willing to help you build the Magic Tower, please let us know. At that time, you will definitely be sent a wealth of magic materials to help you build the tower as a token of gratitude today. ”
