Chapter 830 The Significance of the Nine Guilds

The pet cat yawned slightly: "Do you think this is the most likely? Well...it is indeed possible..."

"But there is another possibility. I think this possibility is what we need to be most vigilant about."

The expression on Airl's face changed slightly, and he took a deep breath, as if trying to make his preparations more precise.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said as if he had finished thinking——

"The third...is the one I think should be the most unlikely, and that is..."

----

Gorgeous!

As a departure day, it couldn't be more perfect.

Ai Luo looked up at the blue sky, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go! Suta, please take care of the house!"

Suta shook his hands at everyone, smiled sweetly, and said, "Don't worry, president. There is still a vice president here, so it's fine."

The cat was lying on Suta's shoulder now, and seemed to be a little groggy from not sleeping well last night.

However, when there was another life-threatening beating sound in the backyard, the cat jumped up nervously, bristling its hair behind it, as if it was going to pounce on it anytime, anywhere.

Airl smiled, and glanced at his entourage.

Cheese is sleeping in his own room now. According to him, he will come over at night and will never be late, so Ai Luo will let him go.

After counting the weapons and equipment carried by everyone and confirming that there is no problem, Airl turned his head energetically and waved his hand towards the gate——

"set off!"

To exterminate bandits, this task is not difficult, but it is not easy to say.

However, in front of so many and mighty guilds, those bandits might not be able to make much of a difference.

Therefore, on the way out of Hanhai City, Ai Luo could always see the other guild members chatting and laughing constantly, as if this time was not to exterminate the bandits, but a relaxing trip.

But... for the guild, such a simple and easy task may indeed be like traveling.

"President, I have rented a carriage! Oops, the price has gone up now, so it's hard for me to negotiate the next one."

In front of the parking lot, Cream finally called a carriage.

But just when everyone was about to load their luggage into the carriage and prepare to set off...

"President Airo Garcia, you are safe."

Following the voice, Airl turned around, and the first thing he saw was a burly man.Then, I saw two slightly thin men standing behind this burly man.Facing the sudden appearance of the trio, the other members of Song of the Mermaid immediately showed some vigilance.Brad took the initiative to move in front of Airl.

but……

"Oh! Isn't this the president of the Purgatory Union? Why do you have time to come to us today?"

Ai Luo's very relaxed shout made all the members stunned, and they were still a little confused.

Coco stood on tiptoe slightly, and whispered to Margo next to her, "Is there this Purgatory guild in the team participating in the guild championship battle?"

Margo frowned slightly, and responded softly: "I don't know...I always feel like I've heard the name of the Purgatory Guild somewhere... Where is it?"

"The tenth-ranked guild in Hanhai City is called Purgatory. This is the president of the Purgatory Guild, the president of Big Cannon Iron Block."

There is no need for Airl to explain, Cream next to him has already explained the identity of the person in front of him very well.And after a short pause, he continued——

"We went to the Hand of Heaven guild to inquire about news, and then accidentally clashed with the guild leader of the Purgatory guild. After this guy punched me, he was finally persuaded by our guild leader to leave. But , I don’t know why he is here now.”

After listening to Cream's introduction, Brad in the back put on a look of wanting to rush forward again.Fortunately, Cream stopped him in time.

In the front, Ai Luo still had a smile on his face, looked at the big cannon President Iron Nugget, and said with a cheerful smile: "President Iron Nugget, if you are here to chat... oh, that's true I'm sorry, we really have some things now, I'm afraid it's inconvenient..."

Big Cannon Iron Block looked up and down at Airl in front of him, and then at the members of Mermaid Song behind him, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he shook his head slightly and said, "Let's talk while walking. "

Airl responded, and the two men and horses began to walk side by side, walking along this narrow path that hadn't been repaired for too long, towards the main passage in the city.

While walking, the big artillery finally opened his mouth and said: "President Ai Luo, I know what you are going to do now. Exterminate the bandits! Your mission has spread throughout Hanhai City within a few hours. Now It has become the most popular market in the city about who among you can be the first to collect all the goals required for the mission and come back."

Airl smiled slightly and said, "Then Mr. Iron, did you buy our guild to win? Hahaha! That's really an honor!"

"Although I tend to get hot-headed, I'm not a fool." Big Cannon smiled, ignoring Arrow's joke at all, "Bring you to win? I'm afraid no one is willing to bet on you to win. So, you now The odds are high, but it doesn't help."

Airl curled his lips. After a while, he finally could only say seriously: "May I ask President Iron..."

"Just call me Big Cannon, I don't have to be so formal."

"Then... well, President Big Cannon. I am very grateful that you can come to see me off, but I don't know... Are there other things that we need to do in Song of the Mermaid?"

For a while, the pace of the big artillery gradually slowed down.With his hands behind his back, he looked at the ground in front of him with some hesitation, thinking about the problems in his heart.

After a while, the guild leader nodded and said to Ai Luo: "President Ai Luo, it's not that I don't know how to repay my kindness. Last time you gave me a favor in front of so many people. It's enough to save my face, and I can't see you and your mermaid song falling into such a big hole. So this time the guild championship battle... you'd better abstain."

The smile on Ai Luo's face seemed a little stiff. After hesitating for a moment, he regained the smile on his face and said, "Excuse me, why is this? If you don't have a reasonable reason, you want to persuade me It would be too easy to leave."

As the footsteps advanced, the head of the big artillery lowered even lower.He sighed slowly with some helplessness, and finally said——

"After all, we still have no way to create more wealth. Sigh... President Airol, you have always been in the remote areas of the Blue Bay Empire, so you may not be very clear. But for us For the guilds in Hanhai City, they got some answers that they really don't want to know."

Airl was slightly taken aback: "What do you want to say...?"

"Do you know what the third mission that you newly formed guilds need to face is exactly?"

Big Cannon tried his best to keep his emotions stable, and said slowly——

"It's a pity that no one seems to have given you a more specific reason. Because, this is a complete conspiracy. A conspiracy that hopes to weaken the existence of things like the guild."

As soon as this sentence was said, the members of the Mermaid Song Guild behind him immediately looked at me and I looked at you, with a little nervous expression on their faces.

And after thinking for a while, Ai Luo said softly: "President Big Cannon, you can't talk nonsense! Besides, what does it mean to destroy the guild? There are at least two or three hundred guilds all over the Blue Bay Empire." , wanting to wipe out so many of our guilds in one go, isn’t that overthinking?”

Seeing that Ai Luo didn't seem to intend to listen to persuasion, Big Cannon seemed a little anxious.He shook his head vigorously, and said: "Oh, young people nowadays really don't know how to listen to the advice of their seniors! I came to persuade you with good intentions, but you took it as that I wanted to harm you? Hmph, hum! "

Although it was full of complaints, after taking a few steps, the president of the Purgatory Guild still couldn't bear it. He turned to Ai Luo and said, "Do you want to know why? Okay, then I'll tell you why."

"If you want to exterminate the bandits, is it better to take advantage of the emptiness of the bandits' defense? Is it more comfortable to catch the opponent by surprise?

"However, the task arrangement this time was announced directly in front of so many people! Of course, it would be fine if it was only announced to you guilds participating in the competition, but there are still many ordinary people who came to watch Ah! Of course these people also know the content of the competition, and once it spreads, those bandits will naturally be on guard, and you will not be able to directly launch a sneak attack!"

"President Airl, why do you think this is? Why! I'm telling you now, it's not for anything else! The purpose is to let you adventurers and those bandits judge each other to the death, and it's best for both parties to suffer heavy losses! In this way, not only bandits will be wiped out, but you new generation guilds will also be wiped out in one go, at least a lot of vitality will be wiped out! This is not done specifically for the purpose of destroying the guild, but also for what reason ?”

Compared to the surprised expressions on the faces of the Mermaid Song members behind, Airl seemed a little puzzled.He rubbed the back of his head, and said in a daze, "Then... what does it matter if we destroy the guild? Maybe it's just to test our guild's battle against a bandit gang with defensive strength." What about ability?"



Chapter 840 Everything Is a Business

Big Cannon let out a breath, looked at Airl seriously again, and said slowly——

"Actually, the rumors of weakening the guild started two or three years ago."

"President Airl, you also know what the ruling mode of our empire is, right? As our royal family, the Blue Bay royal family has a large number of troops to maintain the stability of local law and order and deal with a large number of enemy troops or rebels."

"However, it is impossible to arrange all the areas in our territory with the funds of His Majesty the Emperor. What's more, recruiting more soldiers means that some people are out of production, and at the same time, there is another one that is completely unproductive. Mouth. So in peacetime, the number of our country’s army has never been very strong. Only in wartime can we use emergency mobilization orders to recruit a group of soldiers.”

"This will lead to a problem, that is, in some remote areas, it is almost impossible for soldiers to patrol there. Therefore, in order to save our funds, the royal family began to allow the formation of teams in the form of the Adventurer's Guild."

"Members of the Adventurer's Guild can perform some tasks that would have been done by the royal army in areas that the Blue Bay Empire's military power cannot take care of. For example, tasks such as destroying bandits, destroying monsters, and so on."

"This kind of thing has been carried out silently for decades, but just when all of us thought that this method was perfect for both parties, our emperor was sick and unable to move in bed. And our Now that the crown prince has taken power, he has started a series of conscriptions, and has studied the border areas. At the same time, he also sent soldiers on a large scale to our cities to conduct secret observations."

"I won't talk about other cities, maybe I don't know very well. But in Hanhai City, large-scale actions against the guild have already begun. Let's take our guild as an example..."

After the big artillery paused for a while, he exhaled and said, "Recently, people have been coming to me, hoping that I can join the imperial army, and then said that they can buy my guild at a price that I am satisfied with."

"The other party offered me a price that was hard for me to refuse, and assured me that other guild members besides me would also join the army simultaneously. As the guild leader, I can serve as the leader of some guilds." An important position, even being able to become a squad leader.”

"I... am very moved."

Listening to this, Airl didn't have any expression on his face, just maintaining that faint smile.

Destroy the guild...

The word might sound scary, but it might not actually be that stressful.

As the president of the purgatory guild said, the empire is willing to pay a very attractive price to disband these guilds, and then convert a large number of people with strong combat effectiveness into the army.

In all honesty...that's a valid claim.

The adventurer guild system is different from the chamber of commerce system.

The Adventurer's Guild itself is a system that exists as a supplementary form of daily security maintenance due to the lack of imperial military power.

Therefore, the adventurer's guild was always located in an area that could not be covered by the military power of the empire, or although it could be covered, it would be very difficult to operate.

With the current emperor's acquiescence to the guild system, the Adventurer's Guild has also gradually grown to its current state in the past few decades.It can even be stationed in some cities with abundant imperial forces.

With the development and expansion of the guild system, it can reduce the expenditure of the country's military power.

This is easy to understand, because some tasks that originally required the imperial army to complete can now be handed over to ordinary guilds, so the cost of maintaining the army can naturally be reduced.Over time, even if the imperial army existed, when encountering some monsters that wiped out bandits or killed civilians, they would rather let ordinary guilds do it, and at most pay some commission money.Compared with the daily maintenance expenses of the army, these entrusted funds are really too small.

Therefore... Is it a good thing for the empire to let the Adventurer's Guild system gradually take root?

I'm afraid... this is not a good thing.

Especially in recent years, there has been constant friction between the Blue Bay Empire and the Hunting Seat Empire. I am afraid that it is precisely because of this constant friction that the royal family feels the weakness of the army.

Without a sufficient regular army, powerful fighters or magicians will be poached by those powerful guilds with a lot of money.It's okay if you just encounter ordinary bandits or monsters, but if you really hire these scattered guilds to go to the front line to resist the regular army of other countries, then these guilds will probably want to save their own Strength, or the inability to cooperate well with each other, resulting in few victories.

In a generally peaceful period, the development of the Adventurer's Guild is of course not a problem.

But if there is a collision with the interests of other countries, the adventurer guild system will definitely not be able to become an opponent of the regular army of other countries according to its nature.

Under such a thinking situation, the current crown prince wants to gradually eliminate the guild system and bring a large number of soldiers scattered in the guild to the army. This is a very correct decision in itself.

It's just that such a decision is destined to have some other hidden dangers...

After all, how much money is used to acquire these chambers of commerce is itself a topic that can be manipulated freely...

"President Big Cannon, so, have you already agreed? Sell your guild?"

Airl asked softly.
