During this period of great changes in Alkanas, the nobles who usually rarely stayed here seemed to want to take root here. They were supervising the development of wind turbines day and night and arranging manpower to infiltrate Conrad's smelting. factories, or bribery.
The judgment of Mo Bei and others was not bad at all. Virgil and the big businessmen had secretly met several times to discuss how to deal with the huge crisis brought by the Conrad family.
In the evening, Boger, the president of the Federation of Commerce and Industry, dressed like an ordinary vendor, hurriedly found Virgil, took off his sand-proof hood and asked:
"Virgil, what's going on with this competition?"
They had just discussed together at noon whether to take violent action. However, in order to equal Conrad's numerical advantage at Kurast Seaport, both of them had withdrawn a large number of garrison forces from the mining area.
With the current manpower of the two companies, if there is an armed conflict, it will most likely lead to a stalemate. The cost will be too high, and the core sample of the wind turbine may not be able to be obtained.
Originally, they were still gloating about how Conrad would pay the huge commissions and expenses. In a few months, as long as they join forces to squeeze out and put pressure on all aspects of trade, Conrad, who is short of money, will probably have to pay for it. The share of fluorite gained at great cost was spit out.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the situation has changed dramatically. Now it seems that they are paying Conrad that high commission!
The discussion was fruitless, and the group of people temporarily dispersed. However, Borg had recently received an invitation letter from Virgil, and the content on it was something they had never mentioned before.
He was a little angry, because this meant that Virgil should have sent the same thing to Conrad, otherwise it would not be so formal.
"Surprise, right? Me too... I just got a surprise, haha!" Virgil happily poured a glass of wine for Borg and continued:
"Hi... I thought I was a little helpless at first, but in the afternoon, the second son's adventure team happened to return to Caldeum City, and several elite teams from the family also came back to take a break."
"What kind of strength?" Upon hearing this, Berg immediately understood Virgil's plan and asked directly about the key.
"They are all around level 40. My son and the others just killed Mephisto's projection, and the others also came back from Cui Fank." Vergil spoke very slowly when talking about these, so full of heart His pride seemed to have cured his slight stuttering.
"oh!?"
Borg was a little surprised. There were really not many children in the family who could reach this point. Although they were supported and trained, the identity of these people determined that they did not need to work hard to enjoy a life of luxury that ordinary people could not imagine. They were determined to do this. It’s not that there are none, but they are all very individual existences.
Moreover, if you want to challenge Mephisto, you need a team with strong enough connections. A team formed purely by family members will inevitably have some rifts due to complex family relationships.
Borg himself has been through this before and is very clear about these things.
"Conrad has a unique personality, and he has no heirs. His training of his descendants is just a show. It is said that a team was killed in battle some time ago, and he didn't even say a word, so their family has grown up. There are only a few who have weapons, and it is impossible for any of those guards to be a rival for my son."
"When the time comes, we will easily defeat their men one by one in front of everyone. Faced with the huge gap in strength, the overall morale will inevitably be frustrated. Then we will find another trouble. My son will lead the team and we will join forces to attack Conrad's smelter. , then the resistance we receive will be greatly weakened. We robbed things and came back to study them, and Conrad had no temper with us. The Holy See will not care about this kind of thing..."
Virgil continued to explain slowly, and then asked in a gossipy tone:
"That girl from Rodney's family is here... What's going on... There's been no movement for so many years?"
"...How did I know this!" Borg saw the greed hidden in his eyes and responded angrily.
"Conrad hasn't seen us all this time, will he pick on you?"
"What if everyone on his staff wants to participate?"
Virgil proudly took out a staff and a ring, both dark gold equipment.

This staff is absolutely the best. Equipment with +3 skills is extremely rare. It also increases the life limit and resistance, making it extremely attractive to mages.
And that ring is also a good thing that all professions will flock to, the Stone of Jordan!
Borg, who had a rich collection and no need for it, couldn't help but take a few more glances at these two pieces of equipment, not to mention the family guards.
This is the reward for the final winner, and the rule here is that the winner of each game can take away a piece of equipment from the opponent. It is true that life here is monotonous and boring, so this exciting competition is still very attractive.
"I got it, I'm going to make some preparations. I hope we can have a happy cooperation." Borg said something meaningful, put on the headscarf again and left.
The two of them talked here for a long time, but Mo Bei and others decided to participate without much hesitation. They didn't know there was a final reward, but they heard that the rule of being able to steal a piece of equipment from the losing side in every game was If you pass it, you can stretch your muscles and get equipment, so why not do it.
They had a similar experience outside the Tomb of Tarashar, and those who came on stage would definitely have a few good things on them. Although the competition at that time was only for Duriel's right to challenge, and there was no rule about picking up equipment, but the reason is It’s the same, if you want to increase your winning rate, the stakes you invest will be higher.
The event was scheduled for the next day, which seemed to be decided casually. This was something Vergil did deliberately. It seemed that he just proposed to hold this event on a whim because he wanted to see a few battles between job transferees.
The rules of the game are unlimited challenges, with no limit on the number of games. Players can choose to continue fighting, or they can leave after winning, but they will miss the final reward.
Only this kind of rule can achieve the effect Virgil wants. Everyone is qualified to play, but if they are beaten to the point of fear and no one on one side dares to play anymore, then everyone will feel frustrated, let alone losing. equipped ones.
But if there is a limit on the number of games, it will be equivalent to one more excuse for failure, and the overall effect of lowering morale will be greatly reduced.
Even the amount of the final reward was determined after careful consideration. It should be tempting enough, but not too much, making people suspect that he had some agenda.
Fatty Virgil is quite proud of the turnaround brought about by his family members and his rigorous planning!
this! It’s the king’s atmosphere!
The venue for the discussion is located in a small square in the center of the city. The public area of the city is not large, and it is almost surrounded by three smelting plants in the center. Find a rooftop with a good view on the edge of this small square, and you can The situation of the entire city is roughly taken into account.
This is why Mo Bei has been able to use a telescope to clearly see the process of making various windmills in the past few days, and he has had endless fun.
They had not considered that the other two companies would use this event as a cover to secretly attack their territory, but the layout of the city had eliminated this possibility.
However, they still dismantled all the generators on the day of the event, shut down the smelter, and all workers and guards took the day off to watch the game!
Paid!
Extra meals!
