Chapter 386: Media Crystal
Robert looked at Lei Luo and Morton in confusion. He had no idea what they were up to.
“Let’s say a bandit group attacked the church, and you send a bandit character to arrest them. However, a team completed the bandit character according to your requirements. Then, they only need to pass your certification. Can this team automatically get the money from the reserve center of the Mercenary Guild given by the senate?”
“Of course, since it is a free F-class quest, then naturally the reward is also given by the senate. Even if we calculate it according to the highest F-class reward, it is only 30,000 gold coins. We can only publish it ten times a year at most. This is nothing to the Senate.”
“Even if I give you all these ten opportunities, the total will not exceed 600,000 gold coins.”
“Guild leader, you’ve misunderstood us. Of course, we don’t want guild leader to give this opportunity to us.”
Morton paused for a moment.
“Guild leader, have you ever thought about the possibility of you submitting an F-grade bandit mission?”
“After that, did you think that because you were busy with official business, you set the completion of this bandit mission as an automatic magic authentication?”
“Automatic Magic Authentication?”
“That’s right. For example, as long as you set it to obtain the blood authentication of the bandit, you would be deemed to have succeeded in capturing him. After that, a team, after going through a lot of hardships, finally captured the bandit leader and used him to pass the magic authentication.”
“Guild leader, at this time, will you be able to receive this sum of money on the Mercenary Guild’s Mission Card?”
Even after hearing this, Priest Robert still didn’t quite understand what these two people were trying to say.
He didn’t say anything and just nodded.
“After receiving this amount of money, Ann said that this team should hand over the bandit leader to the guild leader, but unfortunately, the moment they received the money, this cunning bandit leader actually ran away again.”
“So, after going through a lot of hardships, the team caught the leader of the bandits again. Originally, they shouldn’t have accepted the money, but the leader of the team was a little greedy, so he passed the certification again. Then, would he be able to get another sum of money from the Empire Assembly?”
“That’s impossible. After the mission is completed, the mission will be canceled. It’s impossible for him to have the time to get the certification twice.”
“That might not be the case. As far as I know, because of the complexity of the Senate’s affairs, they have divided the departments very meticulously.”
“For example, the announcement of the thief mission belongs to the mercenary guild, and the issuance and cancellation of the thief mission is another part. The confirmation of the completion of the thief mission and the submission of the reward is another department.”
“The logic of the thief mission is like this. After we complete the mission, we first go to the Mercenary Guild’s Department for Certification. After the Mercenary Guild receives the confirmation from the publisher, they then send the message to the acceptance department of the thief mission to cancel the mission, and then the Management Department of the Thief Mission Reserve will send the confirmation of the reward. After the acceptance department of the thief mission receives the message, it confirms the cancellation of the mission and then sends a message back to the certification department of the thief mission to cancel the certification. Even with the current speed of the transmission of magic information, a message needs an intermediary to spread to the entire empire. In other words, if the part in the hands of the thief mission is placed between the third province’s intermediary and the next one, there will be a delay if the distance between the two is more than a certain distance. Let’s also assume that if the part in the hands of the thief mission’s intermediary crystal is placed between the third province’s intermediary and the receiving department of the thief mission, there will be a delay of more than ten minutes. This is impossible. The senate has placed media crystals in every province. The distance between each other is not too far, so it is impossible to create so many delays.”
Hearing this, Priest Robert immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“That’s true, but what if the media crystal of a certain council of elders happens to be destroyed, then can this only be sent to the nearest other media crystal?”
This was what Lei Luo said.
But as the instigator, he couldn’t help but smile a little smugly.
“And based on my personal premonition, this intermediary crystal that’s about to be destroyed happens to be the closest crystal to this place. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”
Hearing this, he would be a fool if he didn’t understand.
Robert shook his head in disbelief.
“And how many times do you have to complete this mission within these ten minutes?”
“You can’t say that. Although the senate is rich, they will still be anxious if they lose too much meat. We should just stop where we are.”
Robert raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him with his brilliant smile.
It was difficult for him to describe him as shameless.
“You know I can’t refuse you, right?”
The two people in front of him had already accurately exposed their thoughts.
The doubts that Priest Robert had in his heart had disappeared.
On the surface, it was time for him to make a decision.
But in reality, he knew that the other party already knew his situation.
“Eight years ago, the Salan Mutual Aid Association had just closed down. More than 20 million poor people who relied on the Salan Mutual Aid Association had lost their livelihood guarantee. No lord has ever received such a large number of incompetent refugees, and the senate has never had the habit of helping, even though I personally feel that they have the obligation to help the weak. In the end, it was the president who took over the Salan Mutual Aid Association’s list, which made both of us deeply admire him. I believe that in the third province, there should be many people who admire the president as much as we do. But sympathy and admiration, which have no cost, are things that no one will give. As for actually escaping with the money, that’s another matter.”
“Although the president has tried his best to do all kinds of publicity, the donations you received are only a drop in the ocean compared to the expenses of the World Service Association.”
“The president once applied for funds from the Elder Council, but it was delayed by all kinds of complicated procedures. Even if the money was stripped away, it would not exceed one million gold coins.”
“Now, all the funds of the society can only be supported by the president himself. However, this is not a long-term solution after all. If there are no new assets to be injected into society. In that case, within a year, I think that the Society of elders will not be as good as the Salan Mutual Aid Society.”
