Gold is Justice

No reason, just because she will not participate in this guild championship battle, so there is no need to correct her too much.

But when she said that in front of Coco, Airl had to get back this wrong concept, lest there be any unpredictable results.

"I'm afraid... the number of guilds that have successfully completed the object finding competition this time will not exceed 50."

"Ah? Why?" Sure enough, the curious baby Ke Ke immediately asked.

Airl sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and pointed at the Heavenly Hand guild members who still haven't left.

Today, the members of Hand of Heaven are still standing in unison, showing a very strong sense of coordination and regularity in their gestures.It is in stark contrast to other guilds that wander around lazily.

"Because a powerful guild like Hand of Heaven will never allow too many matches in the first half of the schedule."

"The reason for this is actually very easy to understand. After listening to the rules of the object hunting competition just now, we can all understand that many games in the first half of the guild championship match may be given a special commission, and then try to complete it. At the same time, regardless of other rules, there is one rule that should continue. That is—it is not allowed to use violence against other guilds within the announced game time limit."

Airl breathed a sigh of relief, and continued—"Unlike guilds like ours that managed to gather a bunch of people to compete, the Great Guild came with a mission. Therefore, the members of their team Among other things, the combat abilities of the members are definitely second to none. After all, our Adventurer’s Guild still has a lot of commissions for exterminating monsters in its daily commissions, and combat effectiveness can be regarded as hard currency.”

"But in this case, if there are some weird missions that cause your guild to be eliminated before showing its full strength, do you think these excellent guilds will sit still and wait to die?"

"It is precisely because of this that the host specifically said something like 'If there are less than 32 surviving guilds, immediately announce the end of the first half of the game'. Because he must leave at least 32 guilds to participate in the next round. It is really a head-to-head confrontation that can fully display their respective strengths."

"Therefore, in order to be able to avoid more unexpected situations, and in order to avoid some kind of weird competition in the future and not being able to win, these powerful guilds will probably try their best to collect imperial emblems, just to hope We can enter the official battle as soon as possible.”

After listening to the explanation from their president, the members of Song of the Mermaid were speechless.Ke Ke shook his head again and again, and said, "I thought there were a lot of badges at 99... If this is true, those grand guilds will definitely do their best to collect those badges, just to be able to enter the second half faster. Cheng’s schedule! Brother President, if that’s the case, do we still have to stand here? Shouldn’t we...shouldn’t we act immediately and look for those badges?”

Although Coco seemed very anxious now, Arrow smiled slightly and didn't show much sense of urgency.

He stretched out his hand, gently rubbed the head of his necromancer, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Keke. And everyone, you must remember that this competition is not a competition, but a competition. A 'commission'. You must deal with this matter with the mood of commissioning. If your heart changes from completing the commission to speeding up to participate in the competition, then you will lose this competition in essence."

Arrow also knew it might be too broad to say so.After all, when they turned their heads and looked at the guilds that were still on the field, they kept looking at each other, and from time to time, their eyes would glance at those badges.At least there are more than 30 guilds gathered here, if any guilds suddenly come out to snatch it, I believe other guilds will not endure it anymore.

Brad exhaled, he stretched out his hand to lightly protect Buffy in his chest pocket, and said, "Then President, what should we do now? If it's a commission... um... how to complete this commission? "

Ai Luo waved his hand and took the lead in the direction of the exit. While walking, he smiled and said, "How to finish it? Go and find a way to finish it normally. Let's go for a walk on the street. The specific game time is [-] am tomorrow morning." Let’s start at [-]:[-], let’s wander around and look for it before this period of time, I believe other guilds think the same way. Now, everyone will go to the streets to look for it. If there are no accidents..."

As he walked, Airl walked out of the gate of the arena.Facing the sunlight above his head that had already reached noon, the corners of his mouth raised accordingly, and he said slowly——

"By this evening, there should be a large number of badges popping up."

The members of Song of the Mermaid seemed a little overwhelmed, but seeing how confident their president was, they had no choice but to follow Ai Luo and start wandering aimlessly in the street together up.

For a whole day, Arrow's wanderings yielded little.

It's actually quite normal to think about it. After all, since the goal of the competition appeared, more than half of the guilds have started to look for those imperial emblems everywhere in the vast sea city.If it is really that easy to find, I believe that many guilds have already completed the task.

Just wandering the streets, Arrow could see many guilds passing by them.A nervous and excited expression appeared on the faces of every adventurer. Some of the guilds that already had some connections in Hanhai City have now started to launch their own network, constantly asking if anyone has seen those imperial emblems. traces of the.

And in the afternoon, Cream returned to the team.After briefly listening to Airl's current goal of looking for the imperial emblem, the assassin frowned slightly, but then spoke out the information he had.

"Magic steel... so expensive? 50 gold pieces?"

Airl frowned, looking a little helpless.

Cream sighed, nodded lightly and said, "It's so expensive. In fact, the magic ore itself is not difficult to obtain. The real trouble is that some specialized alchemy magicians are needed to deal with these magic ores. The more ridiculous thing is that the quality of magic steel itself is actually not very high. As a material for making some items, it is not as good as wisteria steel at all, so the shop that makes magic steel itself There are very few, and the stock is naturally very scarce."

Ai Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "So, are there only a few shops in the entire Hanhai City that have a large amount of magic steel? Do you believe in the words of windfall money?"

Chapter 790 What Rich Hates Most

Cream crossed his arms and sneered: "How is it possible? There must be a big consortium behind these shops. This big consortium must have known in advance what the content of this competition is, so they specially made a special decision in the magic steel When the price is low, a large number of imports are made to stock up. After the announcement is made now, a large amount of price increases will start! Even if a special alchemist is required to refine magic steel, it will take at least 48 hours, so if you make it yourself In terms of time, magic steel is completely impossible."

Such a result is understandable.

Using large-scale events to make a fortune, this kind of business idea would probably be recognized by Ai Luo.If he is given the right place and the right monopoly conditions, he may go too far, and it is not necessarily true.

But now, he is not the one who implements the monopoly, and such a thing can only be daydreamed, and then he will curse the unscrupulous businessmen behind it twice to vent his anger.

"President, what should we do now? Go and steal a piece of magic steel?"

Cream seemed a little anxious. After all, it was already afternoon, and it was less than 24 hours before tomorrow's deadline.

The guilds on the street were still coming and going, looking for them. It could be seen that these guilds should plan to search for the imperial emblems all night.

Suta raised his head and looked at the slightly dark sky, and said: "President, although I also want to help, but it's getting late now, so I want to go back to the hotel to take care of my husband... We don't always Are you wandering around the hotel? I'll go back and take care of it, and I'll come back and look for it soon."

Facing Suta's request, Airo rolled his eyes, and suddenly his relaxed expression became very sad. He took a breath, then sighed loudly, and waved his hand helplessly, Said: "It's okay! Let's go back together. There is nothing we can do if we have been looking outside all the time. Let's go back and eat something before coming out... Sigh..."

Members, look at me and I look at you. For a while, I am a little confused about what my president wants to do.But there is no other way now, and they can only walk towards the hotel together.

Back at the Beluga Whale Hotel, as soon as you enter the door, you can see several guilds who also live in this hotel are constantly discussing the guild championship match during the day.Similarly, he was also worried about the requirements of this weird object hunting competition.

Seeing that they were chatting excitedly, Arrow also leaned forward, and also began to complain about the bad match.At the same time, he also nodded the fish hat on his head, and cursed his sponsor for being an idiot.

Seeing that Airl was so good at chatting, members of other guilds chatted with him happily.After eating together in the cafeteria, these guild members wiped their mouths, said goodbye to Airl, and then went out again and began to search against the darkness above their heads.It seems that he really intends to stop until he finds it.

Seeing that most of the other guilds have left, and only a small number of guilds did not go out but went to the second floor, Cream also seemed a little anxious: "Guild Master, why don't we take advantage of it before it is completely dark?" Go out and look for it? Now this situation is really—”

"President Airl!"

Just when Airl was about to say something, a familiar yell came from the door immediately.

Everyone turned their heads, only to see the sponsor of the mermaid song, the Viscount Rich Wald, rushing in from the door with an anxious look on his face.When he saw Airl, he immediately opened his hands, hugging him as if to express both enthusiasm and impatience.

Arrow quickly got up from his side of the table, stumbled and hid behind Brad.The viscount, who was shorter than Airl, hugged Brad's strong arm, raised his head, saw Brad chuckled at him twice, immediately let go, and flicked back.

"President Airl! How can you still eat here quietly? Could it be!"

Viscount Rich looked around for a while, then put on a nervous expression, and said softly but excitedly——

"Could it be...you have found the imperial emblem?"

Airl immediately put on a worried expression and shook his head.

"Damn it! Then how can you still eat here so happily?! I thought you already had the chance to win!"

Seeing Airl's complete helplessness, Viscount Rich immediately became anxious.He slapped the table sharply and exclaimed—

"Don't forget, I have invested money in you! Don't tell me that your guild will be finished this morning wearing the clothes I made! And the thing that annoys me the most is my Siren Queen Didn’t even show up?! What the hell are you doing! Let me tell you, if you are eliminated in the first round of this match, I will never agree! I want you to lose money! Pay my sponsorship fee!!!”

Cream hurriedly rushed up to smooth things over, and said with a smile, "Viscount Rich, this seems to be different from the contract we signed, right?"

"What's the difference? Isn't my money money? Can my money be wasted like that?!"

Seeing that Viscount Rich was still in a state of reluctance, Airl smiled, stepped forward and made a gesture to calm him down temporarily, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Viscount, no matter what, there are 99 imperial emblems. Please stay calm and don't be impatient. Hmm... I asked you to help investigate the matter before, how is your investigation going?"

Viscount Rich gave Airl a white look, snorted twice, and looked angry: "Tell you, if it wasn't for the sake of winning, I wouldn't bother to do things for you! I'll give you all the money You, you still ask me to do this or that? Which sponsor is so tired, spends money and contributes so much?"

Ai Luo hurriedly bowed to him, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I know our Lord Viscount Rich is the best! You are the noble person in my life! Without your help, our mermaid What can I do with the song~~~!"

Anyway, Viscount Rich felt that he had nothing to do with the short man in front of him.This guy is obviously a man, but as long as he speaks a few nice words to him in a nice voice, it seems that no amount of anger and dissatisfaction can disappear in an instant.Moreover, the feeling of making him beg for mercy is really good and useful.

Rich looked up and down at Airl in front of him, and then snorted again: "I'm so unlucky! I don't have any good eyesight, but sponsor a small guild like you."

After complaining, Rich opened his mouth and said——

"Following what you said a few days ago, I went to chat with the bosses of those chambers of commerce that also sponsor guilds. We all voted for a small guild like yours to advertise, and there is no conflict of interest among us. , so it makes sense.”

"As you said, President Ai Luo, the first batch of guilds who signed up did get some tokens. That is, in November last year, those guilds located in other places signed up for the guild championship in advance. Then they received some letters one after another in March and April of this year. The letters said that they were gifts for early registration."

Airl nodded and said, "Then what exactly is that gift?"

Viscount Rich put his hands on his hips, hehehe, and said: "What else could it be? One of the bosses showed me one. It was an imperial emblem made of magic steel. That's right, it was in the arena today. The badge I saw in it! Two bosses even wore that badge to participate in today’s opening ceremony. I saw with my own eyes that the faces of those bosses changed from the excitement at the beginning to the one when the object finding competition was announced later. A terror!"

Ai Luo smiled: "Sure enough."

Seeing Ai Luo showing such a mysterious smile again, the sponsor boss couldn't help asking: "What? You guessed it a long time ago?"

Airl shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I can't say that I guessed it long ago, but it's roughly the same as what I guessed."

"The rule of the guild championship battle is that only guild members who have been in this emerging guild for one year before signing up are eligible to participate in the competition. The required guild members have been gathered and signed up before January 11, and there is no possibility of adding players within a year after that."

"In previous years' competitions, those guilds who have determined their candidates in advance will give out some small gifts as rewards, although they are usually just small medals or small badges in the form. But I think this year's guilds The championship game can be said to be very important, so will some of the gifts sent during the important game be of some use?"

Having said that, Airl flicked his finger at the Viscount Rich: "It turns out that it is true."

Suta frowned and thought for a while, then said, "President, so, that's why the host said...there are 99 badges scattered throughout the Blue Bay Empire?"

Airl nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "That's right. I have said repeatedly that this is not a competition, but a commissioned task. All our guilds know that the organizer of this guild championship battle is actually Client, since it is something sent by the client, it should be taken with you. I think that many guilds must have received the badge in advance this time, and some of these guilds may not have this imperial badge. The other part of the people probably advertised to others that they have such an imperial badge before announcing the real rules of this object hunting competition. There are also some, such as those Viscount Rich said just now Sponsor owners. They even walk around with these badges as a kind of glory and show them off.”

Chapter 790 It's All Business

"That's all right now, I don't know how many guilds are regretting that they revealed their badges before. I don't know how many guilds have already remembered that other guilds have such things, so they start to think about the other party's badge. something."

bump--!

Just as Airl was speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the second floor.Immediately afterwards, the ceiling was slammed open, and a figure fell from the second floor through the ceiling, directly hitting the table of the Song of the Mermaid.

There was a commotion, and all the food, cups and saucers on the table were knocked over.

The person who fell on the table was none other than one of the guild members who went upstairs after chatting and never came down again.

"Damn... beast!"

The adventurer clutched his chest and struggled to get up, but before he could get up from the table, another person jumped down from the cracked ceiling, and raised the sledgehammer in his hand towards the injured adventurer's chest without hesitation. Come on!

"Hand over the badge!"

There was another loud noise, and Song of the Mermaid immediately spread to both sides, but the table was not so lucky now, it was directly shattered into powder.

The injured adventurer raised his hands to catch the sledgehammer, and was hit hard on the ground. Obviously, his arms were injured and he was almost unable to support it.

In addition to the ongoing battle here, various noises are still erupting elsewhere on the second floor.Obviously, apart from these two, the other members of the two guilds have already become one!He could only hear the sound of various things being smashed on the second floor, and there was no need to go up to take a look, Airl could feel the obvious heartache!

Well, if this hotel is opened by itself, it will definitely be heartbroken now.

"Say! Where did you hide your badge?!"

The adventurer with the giant hammer yelled loudly——

"If you don't want to die, hand it over!"

The adventurer who was suppressed was unwilling to let go, and shouted through gritted teeth: "You...don't obey the rules! You can't use violence... against other guilds...! Haha...you just wait...to be eliminated !"

There was a sneer of disdain on the corner of the giant hammer adventurer's mouth: "Elimination? Fart! Didn't you understand what the host said? The game will officially start after ten o'clock tomorrow, and violence cannot be used from then on. ! So now even if I grind you into a meat paste, I will not lose my qualifications!"

Obviously, the suppressed adventurer was stunned by this answer!Perhaps, this guild has never thought about such a thing from top to bottom, but is completely immersed in the fact that it has won the first game ticket and got carried away.

"how can that be?!"
