The communication between the envoy of the Lizejian branch of the Magicians Association and someone not only granted him the qualification of a great magician, but also invited him to go to the headquarters of the branch. Even if you are willing to stay for a long time, there is no problem in providing one or two branch member seats.
Regarding such an attitude, someone who was used to watching the news and some palace struggle dramas before traveling through time would immediately think that this was a political award. The two parties in the struggle are of course the Magicians Association and the Vader Military State. After all, magicians are not oppressed to the point of being unable to hold their heads up within the military state, but they do not hold a lofty position either.
I originally thought that if I obtained the qualification of a great magician from the Lizejian branch, I would inevitably have to cooperate with them in doing some political propaganda, but in the end the other party did not make any relevant request. I don't know if it's because the magicians are not good at political operations, or because they don't dare to overly stimulate the military.
However, someone would not be so reserved as to push this kind of title for free. Anyway, one of the reasons given to the Grand Magician is to open up the right to sell magic related to browser magic to establish the Charlie Richard Richard Foundation, which has helped the achievements of many magic apprentices. This benefit is real to the association, and changing the title of Great Magician is not unjustifiable.
During the exchange, the only thing this very old messenger mentioned related to someone's knowledge was about the use of the mall forum in the Southwest Peninsula. In fact, Lin had handed over the disposal rights to the Xijia District Chapter of the Southwest Peninsula a long time ago in the mall procedure. After all, it was a buyout method at the time. Later, when someone mentioned it, they all blamed it on the Xijia District Branch.
After experiencing the division of shopping mall forums into four sub-district chapters in the southwest peninsula, the Xijia District Chapter was not too obsessed with keeping the procedures of the mall forum in hand. Because the caravan's transport capacity is only so large, there is no stake in a place that is too far away.
Therefore, the Xijia District Branch simply opened the mall forum program to all branches of the Magician Association, with two conditions in exchange. First, except for the chambers of commerce affiliated with the Magicians Association, it is not open to noble and ordinary chambers of commerce.
This monopoly agreement must of course be approved unconditionally by the presidents of all regional chapters; from another perspective, establishing a mall forum requires at least the energy pool of a magic tower, which is not something that ordinary chambers of commerce can do.
The second condition is that when Xijia District wants to trade special products with other regions, it will give certain discounts. This is not a problem for the Magician Association branches in traditional areas.
Because of transportation capacity and taxation issues along the way, this kind of cross-district transaction is a trivial matter for the interests of the entire district. If you take this small profit and change it to a business platform, you won't lose money no matter what.
However, after obtaining the procedures of the mall forum, the establishment of other divisions was also bumpy. After all, when someone was writing it, they didn't consider issues such as one-click installation and fool-clicking. This is because at that time, I originally planned to earn a few more wages by customizing the program.
Of course, after the P language becomes popular, it will not be too difficult to study how to set up mall forums on your own. But when adjusting, users will worry about whether they are doing the right thing. The envoy from Lizejian District actually raised this question.
Basically, as long as you use it normally, there won't be any big problems. When Lin originally designed it, he only made extremely rigorous correctness designs for functions related to buying and selling such as inventory and shopping carts. In addition, there will inevitably be some small bugs. What someone is doing is pretending to be blind, revising the version or something, which is too much trouble. Anyway, Mi Di is not interested in this kind of thing.
During the exchange, the messenger didn't ask a word about magic related to Flash. This is also a tacit understanding among magicians. When I was in the Tower of the Great Sage, I met the Great Magician Greenwen who was the Inspector for the first time. The other party made requests related to the browser because that magic had nothing to do with combat, but was only related to the convenience of life.
If other magicians say that magic like Flash is related to combat and life-saving, tell us about it and let everyone study it. The meaning is the same as, I am going to mess with you, so please take out the weaknesses and characteristics of this magic and let me crack it.
If the magician opposite is weak, then forget it. If the other party is very powerful, this is almost like falling out.
There is a lot of knowledge related to attack magic in the association, which is actually information compiled from those manuscripts by the predecessors after their death. Or maybe the attack magic is already widely known and is old knowledge that is out of date for the creator. It does no harm if it is known, so it can be taken out and handed over to the association.
When the business and all the politeness were over, the envoys from the Magicians Association came and went in a hurry, without any delay. Of course, there are many due etiquettes and benefits that should be in place, and it will not give people a perfunctory feeling. It can be said that the great magician's attitude is quite accurate, so that no one will feel offended.
When the visiting guests left one by one, Baron Engels, a landowner, appeared in front of Lin again. With the solemn etiquette that did not lose the dignity of the nobles, Lin and his party were received with great care. He said: "Lord Tripwood, you defeated the notorious group of water pirates a few days ago and gave the Po River the tranquility of free navigation. This is a great kindness that cannot be repaid in words. Especially from your mouth, I learned The value of knowledge about brewing and scalding wine is immeasurable. If you remain silent, you will become a member of the nobility. Although I want to prepare a gift to thank you, after thinking about it, I don’t know what suits your wishes. .So after discussing with my wife, I decided to let you make any requests regarding your needs. We will do our best to meet your needs."
Seeing that the baron was speaking seriously, Lin Ye slightly noticed from the behavior of these visiting guests that his status in the hearts of others had slightly changed. He couldn't help but feel excited and said: "In that case, can you give me a magic tower? If you don't have one, it's no problem to help me build one. I have a lot of high-level materials for building the tower."
"this……"
Seeing the troubled expression on the baron's face, Lin knew that he had gone too far, even if he didn't understand the world. He laughed twice and said: "I'm just kidding, don't mind if I'm kidding. I also know that the value of those things is much different from that of a magic tower. Mentioning such a thing will make a lion open his mouth."
In fact, since leaving Wulian City, the headquarters of the Xijia District branch in the Southwest Peninsula, Lin had a feeling that the Magician Association seemed unwilling to allow him to settle in any magic tower again.
You must know that the original cost of settling in the Tower of the Great Sage was only two thousand gold coins (MM Kir) that had been saved for eight years. This is also because the Tower of the Great Sage was at the worst level in the evaluation of the association at that time, and there were some unspeakable troubles in the surrounding environment──that is, the group of villagers who bullied the previous tower owner──, so it was so cheap s price.
To use the perspective before time travel, it is a broken house and a haunted house in the suburbs that no one has cleaned up. Let’s not mention Ah Piao’s problem. If you want to live in it safely, the decoration cost may be more expensive than the house price.
But with someone's current net worth, not to mention settling in a five-story tower of the Dharma Saint level, or borrowing Fen's great magic name to settle in a four-story tower, if he chooses the most ordinary three-story magic tower, that is more than enough. It's a pity that no matter which branch of the Magicians Association I go through, I always get a polite rejection.
After one or two times, someone probably felt that the Magician Association was not willing to allow themselves the idea of owning a magic tower.
Since the path of a magician is unavailable, it is not unacceptable to switch to the aristocratic route. But this involves the most basic issue. Most of the tower masters that the nobles can influence are the kind of magic towers located in the city. Or else it would be a new tower built with state-level financial resources.
Because of the rules of the Magician Association, the owner of the new tower must be the builder and cannot be someone else. Even if the builder is a bastard with many evil deeds, or if the nobles have contributed much in the process, they will not be forced to replace it with someone else.
This is also because if any branch association uses the reason that the magician is not suitable as the tower owner to force the master who built his own magic tower to hand over the ownership of the magic tower, it will cause serious conflicts between the association and the magicians. Crisis of Confidence. It would not be a surprise for the association to disintegrate due to this. After all, the association is not a dictatorship that can make decisions with just one word.
The most important thing for a noble to agree with a certain magician to enter a magic tower that such nobles can influence or help build is trust. Otherwise, handing over the magic tower to a magician who is hostile to you would be making yourself uncomfortable.
However, such a basis of trust does not exist between Lin and the Engels family. So for someone who said something he said without thinking, he could only treat it as a joke and laugh awkwardly a few times. At the same time, the feeling of elation was instantly shattered, and the mood could be said to have hit rock bottom.
It's like back on Earth, when you encountered troubles and difficulties, you could always get a lot of spiritual support, but it was actually of no use at all. All kinds of rhetoric but no real meaning will only make people sick if heard too much.
In this awkward atmosphere, the Baron's wife, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hue, said: "Your Excellency, I guess it is your long-cherished wish to own a magic tower again. Then can you listen to my suggestion?"
"Oh, Madam, please tell me." Forgetting the embarrassment before, Lin was quite interested in what kind of suggestions this person would make.
"If you want to use the power of the nobles to obtain a magic tower, you may wish to go to the Holy City of Estali. Most nobles who want to seek the assistance of powerful magicians but do not have their own channels will recruit their hearts and minds in the Holy City. Choose the right candidate. And under the witness of the Eight Gods, the magician will make a contract not to be an enemy of the noble who recruited him, so as to establish mutual trust between the two parties. If there, you find someone who is willing to help you build the magic tower Nobles, please also inform us. We will surely send you abundant magic materials to help you build the tower to express your gratitude today."
