Chapter 18 Fight with culture, not with force
At the Monolithic Chamber of Commerce, Lord Vincent achieved an achievement - a toy, asking the rich woman to spend me six hundred gold coins.
Shni Coolster did what she said, and the six hundred gold coins sponsored by the Boulder Chamber of Commerce were quickly delivered.
Lord Vincent was very pleased with this straightforward merchant, and immediately issued an order to designate the paper of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce as the special material for the competition.
Any other paper cannot be used for preliminaries and main competitions, but can only be used for training.
However, the lord declared that the quality of other papers was not suitable for making paper birds, especially those of the Southern Chamber of Commerce.
This favor was not significant in terms of economic benefits, but it greatly increased Shnie's favor with the lord.
As someone who is often despised as a barbarian, it was the first time that Shi Ni had met a lord who truly respected her.
Even if he is a demon, he is much stronger than those arrogant and rude nobles.
What's more, this lord never defaults, which is already a favorite quality of merchants.
The church and the Chamber of Commerce sponsored together, and the problem of start-up funding was solved.
There is one more thing that Vincent has been relieved of.
That's how to make sure the game is fair and prevent people from cheating.
In all disciplines, the distance race and the time in the air are inseparable from the wind.
Whoever can take advantage of the wind will get better results.
In this world, there are two unconventional things: magic and magicians.
If the mage who has mastered the wind magic is in the next game, then Daniel Bernoulli's coffin board will definitely not be able to hold it down.
In the same way, in order for the result of the game to be fair, in addition to the magician himself who cannot cheat in the competition, the off-field referee cannot use magic to influence the game.
In order to restrain the mage, it is necessary to effectively coordinate with the mage's organization, the Mage Guild.
Unfortunately, there is a serious problem here, that is, the lich and necromancer in the demon clan who are similar to mages are a thorn in the side of the mage association.
Many of the witches and necromancers of the demon race are not from their own race, but magicians from other races are tempted by evil forces, practice demon spells, and willingly fall into the demon king's subordinates.
Needless to say, let the magician ensure the fairness of the game now, I'm afraid that it will be thankful that he will not do the right thing for heaven when the time comes.
However, the Mage Guild is a huge organization spread across the continent, with distribution in various places and great influence, and Vincent cannot afford to offend.
The Primorsky Territory's capital, Silver Dragon Castle, also has its branch, which houses dozens of registered magicians of all ranks, as well as many more apprentices who are learning magic.
Lord Vincent is a newcomer, and with a group of lichs and necromancers, he doesn't need to hire additional mages to help, but this also creates a lack of connection between the lord and the mage guild.
Now, if you want to put on a decent competition, you must deal with these people.
As a result, Bishop Bellman of the Church of Light and Order personally intervened between the lord and the local mage guild, which led to a brief meeting between Vincent and the head of the mage guild.
"Lord Lord, Safin, the head of the guild, is a great magician, and he is an old stubborn who only believes in magic, arrogant and paranoid, and thinks that there is nothing that magic can't do, and communicating with him will definitely be problematic."
The bishop kindly reminded Vincent before the meeting, telling him to watch out for the other's malicious troubles.
"A person with conviction and principles is better than a person without a limit. What kind of magic is this adult good at? ”
Vincent didn't have a bottom in his heart, but the surface was still light and breezy.
"Fire magic."
"Fire hurts the liver, and it's not a good thing for the liver to stagnate......"
After meeting, Vincent soon discovered that the Grand Magician Safin was not cold to him.
The hot-tempered great magician, although bald and with old glasses, has a very well-maintained beard, like a low-profile version of Dumbledore.
After meeting, he couldn't even figure out whether Vincent was ugly or handsome, and without a few words of greeting at the beginning, he proposed to test his magic with Vincent.
"As we all know, demons are an aggressive race that always wants to use violence and fear to make people surrender."
"However, he is a person who never intends to bow down to violence."
"If you want to be convinced, you have to use magic to overcome me. If you win, you will definitely agree to your request. ”
"Oh, that's a hard thing." Vincent scratched his head and said with a look of distress, "My magic and magic skills are definitely no match for you. ”
Safin looked at the demon lord with disdain and felt extremely happy in his heart.
As an experienced magician, he had already judged that Vincent was not playing tricks, and his magical qualifications were indeed average.
Even if it is the fire magic that the demons are generally good at, this young lord is probably not very good at it.
After a while, he tried to do it, and immediately used the five fireball combo magic that he had studied all his life to make this boy who didn't know the height of the sky and the earth disgraced.
In that way, even if he will sacrifice his life for this, he will definitely become an anti-demon hero among the human race, so that future generations of bards will be widely praised among the people.
"How's it going, honorable lord?" Safin, who had made up his mind in his heart, twisted his beard and asked Vincent, "Are you willing to accept this old challenge?" ”
"Master Mage, I'm really not good at fire magic, when I was a child, there was a fire demon teacher who taught me fire magic, and in the end I was able to rub out a small fireball, which would be extinguished if it flew less than a meter." Vincent said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "As a result, the final investigation revealed that the Fire Demon Teacher was disguised by the Ice Demon with illusions. ”
Poof!
Safin, who had just taken a sip of sweet tea, was directly teased and sprayed his beard with tea.
This lord's feelings are here to tell jokes!
"Don't joke with the old man." The old mage wiped his beard for a long time, and asked a little annoyed, "Do you dare to compare?" ”
"If the young don't work hard, the boss will be sad." Vincent felt sorry for himself, and then his eyes sharpened again, "That's bad, I don't know fire magic, but I don't accept your challenge now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to cooperate." ”
"Hehe, exactly."
Safin smiled slightly, and he had already begun to describe in his mind the happy scene of blasting the demon prince with the five fireballs of "Fireball Technique", "Great Fireball Technique", "Giant Fireball Technique", "Super Large Fireball Technique", and "Extremely Large Fireball Technique".
"I have a suggestion, though." Vincent was a little embarrassed and said, "It's too dangerous to attack each other, there are too many people who want to kill me, and I don't want to think that someone with noble ambitions like you will also be their comrade." ”
"My magic doesn't kill."
Safin righteously assured.
Vincent secretly sneered in his heart, I'm afraid that what this old guy was thinking in his heart was "Anyway, demons are not human", right?
Since the other party is determined to use his own strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings, then he, as a representative of the demon race, cannot show weakness.
It's true that fire magic can't do it itself, but it has a more ridiculous protection than fire magic.
"We have to fight gracefully, not roughly." Vincent said his intentions, "I'm afraid of pain, so let's use the method of attacking the target to decide the winner." ”
Although the archmage Safin thought that this lord was a little flamboyant, at least his courage was commendable, and he did not choose to give up knowing that he was invincible.
Striking targets is the main way for mages to train attack magic.
After hitting, the speed, precision, and power of the magic are clear to even the layman.
Maybe it's more fun to fight the dignity of the demons than to fight the flesh, right?
"Yes." Safin nodded confidently in agreement, "I'd like to see what magic your Ice Demon Teacher can teach." ”
"Forget that swaggering impostor! She's nothing but pretty. Vincent smiled incomprehensibly, "I don't need magic to compete with you, I can achieve the same effect." ”
"Oh, interesting!" Safin was intrigued, "What method are you going to use to compete?" ”
"Since you want to live, of course you need to use technology."
"Technology?"
Speaking of which, Vincent called out the playmate system in his heart.
"Hello, system, show my boost."
"Ding!"
[Boost: 5870/5881]
"I'm going to unlock skills."
Opening a large list of drop-down menus, Vincent chose an inconspicuous option from a large number of skill categories preset by the Craftsman.
"Please unlock this skill."
"Are you sure you want to spend 1,000 Boosts to unlock the skill?"
"Sure."
When he went through the skill catalog again, he found that the skill option in the system was gone.
"It's already noon, and I don't have to eat lunch." Vincent muttered to himself, "That's just right. ”
