In the exchange between the messenger of the Society of Sorcerers and a certain someone, in addition to the teaching of great magic, they also invited him to the headquarters of the district branch. If he was willing to stay for a long time, it was not a problem to provide one or two seats as a member of the branch.
For such an attitude, a certain someone who was used to watching the news and some dramas of palace struggles before crossing over, immediately thought that this was a political award. The two sides of the struggle were of course the Society of Sorcerers and the Kingdom of Weida. After all, although the mages were not oppressed to the point that they could not raise their heads, they were not in a high position either.
Originally, he thought that after obtaining the qualification of a great mage, it was inevitable that he would have to cooperate with them to do some political propaganda, but in the end, the other party did not put forward any relevant requirements. He did not know whether it was because the mages were not good at political operations, or because they did not dare to excessively provoke the Kingdom of Sorcerers.
But for this kind of free title, a certain someone would not be so reserved as to reject it. In any case, one of the reasons given to the great mage was to open up the right to sell browser related magic, establishing the Great Mage Charlie Richard's fund to help many magic apprentices with their achievements. This benefit was real for the Society, so it was not unreasonable to exchange the title of great mage.
In the exchange, the only thing that the old messenger mentioned was related to a certain someone's knowledge, it was about the use of the mall forum in the southwest peninsula. The mall program was actually handed over to the Sijia district branch in the southwest peninsula a long time ago, after all, it was a buyout. Later, when people mentioned it, they all pushed the blame to the Sijia district branch.
After experiencing the division of the mall forum in the southwest peninsula's four district branches, the Sijia district branch was not too obsessed with the mall forum program in their hands. Because the transportation capacity of the caravan was so large, there was no interest in too far away.
So the Sijia district branch simply opened the mall forum program to all branches of the Society of Sorcerers, in exchange for two conditions. First, except for the affiliated chambers of commerce of the Society of Sorcerers, it was not open to aristocratic and ordinary chambers of commerce.
This monopoly agreement, of course, was unconditionally approved by all the presidents of the district branches. From another point of view, to establish the mall forum, at least a magic tower's energy pool was needed, which was not something that an ordinary chamber of commerce could do.
The second condition was that when the Sijia District wanted to trade special products with other districts, they would give a certain discount. This was even less of a problem for the branches of the Society of Sorcerers in traditional areas.
Because of the transportation capacity and the taxes along the way, this kind of cross-district transaction was a trivial matter to the interests of the entire district. Using this small profit to exchange for a commercial platform, it would not be a loss no matter how one looked at it.
However, after obtaining the Mall Forum program, the other divisions were also bumpy. After all, when Lu Zhou was writing the game, he didn't think about one-click installation and the like. This was because at that time, he had originally planned to use the opportunity of customizing the program to earn a few more salaries.
Of course, after Language P was popularized, it would not be too difficult to delve into the setting of the mall forum. However, after the adjustment, the users would have doubts about whether they were doing the right thing. The emissary from Lize Simple District only asked such a question.
Basically, as long as it was used normally, there wouldn't be any major problems. When Lin was designing it, he only did an extremely rigorous and correct design for functions related to inventory, shopping carts, and other functions related to transactions. Other than that, it was inevitable that there would be some small bugs. Lu Zhou's approach was to pretend to be blind. It was too troublesome to change the version and so on. Anyway, the Society of Sorcerers didn't like this.
In the exchange, the emissary didn't ask a single word about the magic related to Flash. This was also a tacit understanding between mages. When he first met with the Master Wizard Grimwin in the Tower of the Great Sage, the other party made a request related to the browser because the magic had nothing to do with combat, but was related to the convenience of life.
Flash was a magic related to combat and life-saving. If other mages said, "You tell us this thing and we'll study it." The meaning was equivalent to, "I'm going to mess with you, so obediently take out the weaknesses and characteristics of this magic and let me see how to crack it."
If the mage on the other side was weak, then it was fine. If the other side was very strong, it was almost the same as turning hostile.
There was a lot of knowledge related to offensive magic in the Society, which was actually information sorted out from those manuscripts after the predecessors passed away. Or the offensive magic was already widely known, and was outdated knowledge to the creator, so it wouldn't be a big deal if it was known. Only then might it be taken out and turned over to the Society.
When all the business and all the pleasantries were over, the emissary of the Society of Sorcerers came and went in a hurry, without the slightest sloppiness. Of course, the necessary etiquette and benefits were not lacking, and it didn't give the feeling of being perfunctory. It could be said that this Great Mage's attitude was quite accurate, making it so that people wouldn't feel offended.
When the visiting guests left one by one, Baron Engels, as the landlord, appeared in front of Lin again. With a grand etiquette that didn't lose the face of a noble, he carefully received Lin and the others. He said, "Mr. Cuipwood, a few days ago, you defeated those notorious pirates and returned the peace of the Po River to freedom of navigation. This great kindness is beyond words. In particular, from your mouth, I learned all kinds of knowledge about brewing and boiling wine, which is invaluable. If I didn't say anything, I wouldn't be a noble. Although I wanted to prepare a gift to express my gratitude, after thinking about it, I didn't know what you would like. So, after discussing with my wife, I decided to let you make any request for your needs. We will do our best to satisfy your needs. "
Seeing that the baron spoke very seriously, Lin also felt that his position in the hearts of these guests had changed slightly from the behavior of these visiting guests. He couldn't help but feel proud and said, "In that case, can you give me a Magic Tower? If not, it's not a problem to help me build one. I have a lot of high-level materials stored for building a Magic Tower. "
"This …"
Looking at the baron's awkward expression, even if Lin didn't know the ways of the world, he knew that he had gone too far. He laughed and said, "I'm joking, I'm joking, don't mind me. I know that the value of those things is too far from that of a Magic Tower. Asking for such a thing is asking for too much. "
In fact, since leaving the Sika District branch headquarters in the Southwest Peninsula, Lin had a feeling that the Society of Sorcerers didn't seem to be willing to let him live in any Magic Tower again.
After all, the price of living in the Tower of the Great Sage was only 2,000 gold coins (Kiel) saved for eight years. This was also because the Tower of the Great Sage was rated as one of the worst by the Society of Sorcerers at that time. There were also some unspeakable troubles in the surrounding environment – namely, the villagers who bullied the former Tower Master. That was why the price was so cheap.
In the view of pre-transmigration, it was a run-down house in the suburbs that no one cleaned up. Not to mention the issue of ghosts, if he wanted to live in it safely, the renovation cost might be more expensive than the house price.
But with a certain person's current wealth, not to mention living in a five-story Magic Tower of the Great Sage rank, or living in a four-story Magic Tower by borrowing Fen's name, it would be more than enough if he chose the most common three-story Magic Tower. Unfortunately, no matter which branch of the Society of Sorcerers he went to, he was always politely refused.
After a few times, a certain person probably felt that the Society of Sorcerers didn't want him to have a Magic Tower.
Since the path of Sorcerers didn't work, it wasn't unacceptable to change to the aristocratic path. But this involved the most basic problem. Aristocrats could influence the selection of the Tower Master, but most of them were Magic Towers located in the city. Otherwise, they could use the financial resources of a country to build a new Magic Tower.
Because of the Society of Sorcerers' regulations, the Tower Master of a new Magic Tower must be the builder, and couldn't be someone else. Even if the builder was a scoundrel who had done all kinds of evil, or even if the noble had put in a lot of effort in the process, no one else would be forced to be the Tower Master.
This was also because if any branch of the Society of Sorcerers used the excuse that a Mage was unsuitable to be the Tower Master to force a Mage to hand over the ownership of the Magic Tower, it would cause a serious crisis of trust between the Society of Sorcerers and the Mage Association. It wouldn't be surprising if the Society of Sorcerers collapsed because of this. After all, the Society of Sorcerers wasn't a dictatorial organization that could make decisions with a single word.
The most important thing for a noble to allow a Mage to live in a Magic Tower that the noble could influence or help to build, was trust. Otherwise, handing over the Magic Tower to a Mage who was an enemy of the Society of Sorcerers would be asking for trouble.
However, such a foundation of trust didn't exist between Lin and the Engels family. Therefore, he could only treat it as a joke and laugh awkwardly at the words that came out of his mouth without thinking. At the same time, the feeling of floating in the air disappeared instantly, and his mood fell to the bottom.
It was just like when he was on Earth, when he encountered trouble and difficulties, he could always get a lot of moral support, but in reality, it was useless. Listening to all kinds of empty words would only make one feel disgusted.
In this awkward atmosphere, the baron's wife, Mrs. Ruan Shi Hui, said, "Sir, I guess that having a Magic Tower again should be your long-cherished wish. Then can you listen to a suggestion of mine? "
"Oh, Madam, please speak." Forgetting the previous awkwardness, Lin was quite interested in what kind of suggestion this woman would come up with.
"Sir, if you wish to use the power of the nobles to obtain a Magic Tower, you might as well go to the Holy City of Estali. Most of the nobles who wish to seek the help of powerful Mages but don't have their own channels will recruit suitable candidates in the Holy City. And under the witness of the Eight Gods of Power, the Mage will set a contract not to be enemies with the nobles who recruit him, so as to establish mutual trust between the two sides. If you find a noble there who is willing to help you build a Magic Tower, please let us know. At that time, we will definitely send a wealth of magic materials to help you build the Magic Tower as a token of our gratitude today. "
