"I said uncle, are you possessed by evil spirits? Why do you have to do construction work in Torgart City? Is there anything special about that place?" Gaseon said speechlessly. Yes, Linton is here again.
I'm looking for trouble with him. This time the trouble is with the teleportation array.
Linton had already done a lot of things that he couldn't understand before, such as strange things like an alchemy material store, but Garsain reluctantly tolerated it. After all, it was also in the name of building a territory, but this
It was different this time. What Linton requested was a teleportation array, and the biggest problem with this thing was its high cost.
The first is the construction cost. Only mages of a certain level can set up the teleportation array. It costs a lot to hire people and materials. The Mage Association is also a monopoly industry, and the fees are surprisingly high. Not to mention the later period.
There are maintenance fees. After all, the teleportation array is driven by magic power, and the magic crystal needs to be replaced after a period of time. In short, it is ridiculously expensive. Of course, there is a fee for using the teleportation array, but if the fee is not worth the maintenance fee,
That would be a big loss.
Torgart City is obviously not suitable for building a teleportation array. Not many people here know how to use teleportation arrays, so it is obviously a loss-making business. I don’t know what evil got Linton into insisting on building a teleportation array there.
Of course Garsain doesn't understand the teleportation array.
Of course, Linton couldn't explain it. He had basically finished everything else. He only had the teleportation array and some special gift shop left. That store should be pretty easy to get, but it was the teleportation array, and he still had to hire a mage to build it. It was unpleasant.
If you put it on the schedule, you may not be able to make it in time.
"I think this city of Torgart is a city with great potential. You see, the commercial development there is pretty good. Wouldn't it be more useful to build a teleportation array?" Linton said, spreading his hands.
"Even if people over there want to use the teleportation array, Torgart City is less than half a day away from Moon Lake City. Wouldn't it be over if they just come here to use the teleportation array in Moon Lake City?" Gaseon said.
Garsain also said that it was really right, and Linton thought so too, but the problem was that the mission required a teleportation array, so what should I do? If I had known earlier, I would have found a city far away from the nearest teleportation point, and proposed it this way
It’s easier to ask for it, but I didn’t know it at the time.
"I don't care, I just want to build a teleportation array anyway." Linton couldn't explain himself, so Linton immediately started cheating.
"No money!" Gasain said directly, "I just took over the territory, and I haven't even collected the first tax. Now I need a lot of funds. Where can I get the money for you to do this?"
"Didn't you confiscate the Wren's house? Is he such a poor duke?" Linton asked.
"To be honest, I'm a little surprised. The property stolen from the Rennes family is really quite small, but according to some people I've heard from, Duke Rennes should have accumulated a lot of money in the past few years.
, is it hidden?" Gasein said.
"Hide it?" Linton suddenly thought of something. There seemed to be a guy who was in trouble with Renn before and said he knew about the Renn family's treasures. However, he didn't say what it was, so Linton regarded him as someone who knew the treasures of the Renn family.
The materials for the reincarnation of the dirty soil were used. Could this really be a treasure? But now that this guy has died a long time ago, and Ren is cold, he can’t find out even if he wants to ask. Then Linton was really
I never thought I would encounter financial problems.
"Well, you tell me who has more money, and I'll go rob him." Linton said.
"I have never heard of a saint-level person going to rob. You are a saint-level, okay? You don't think it's embarrassing, but I do." Garsain held up his forehead.
"Then how do ordinary saints make money?" Linton asked, "I can't just get a title without any benefits, right?"
"Saint-level people don't need to make money at all, okay? Do you have any misunderstandings about holy-level people?" Gasein held up his forehead.
"How can I live without making money? Will someone give me money when I lie in bed?" Linton said.
"What you said is indeed correct." Gaseon said, "Generally, saints are supported by the state. I think if you insist on building a teleportation array, it might be a good idea to ask His Majesty the Emperor."
"It turns out that you can really make money while lying in bed..." Linton nodded, "But if the emperor insists on asking me why I want to build a teleportation array in Torgart City, how can I explain it?"
"Who are you asking me? I also want to ask you why you insist on building a teleportation array, okay?" Garsain shouted.
"Dong dong dong..." Just as the two were still discussing, there was a knock on the door. Garsain nodded to the servant next to him, and soon the door opened, and Melissa and others appeared at the door of the room.
Arran.
Yes, after yesterday's dinner, Linton had temporarily agreed to Melissa's request, but he also said that he still had some things to finish first and could not go to the Holy See with her for the time being. Melissa was very generous and promised to wait.
Linton finished the matter, so he stayed here temporarily, and Princess Yalan also expressed that she would stay here for a few days. The two were already best friends, so it was natural for them to move together. Yalan can also inquire about it.
Melissa's case.
"Excuse me, two adults." Melissa here saluted first, and then said. Linton was not very familiar with Melissa, but from the current point of view, this is a person, at least on the surface.
A very old-fashioned person, everything he says and does is very "formal". For example, in terms of etiquette, all etiquette matters are completed step by step and accurately. This is still very strange in the eyes of others. It is true that etiquette needs to be paid attention to.
But this is how ordinary nobles come to meet in public. If you act solemnly in a private meeting like this, everyone will think you are weird.
Of course, the other party saluted, so Garsain had to give her a return gift, so Linton didn't need it. After all, with saint-level privileges, other than seeing the emperor nod, he didn't have to lower his status to care about them.
"Sorry, I just heard the conversation between you two in the corridor. I didn't mean to hear it," Melissa said.
"We were talking too loudly," Garsain said.
"If Lord Linton has this problem, I can help you solve it," Melissa said.
"Really?" Linton asked.
"The Holy See can also build a teleportation array. If you really need it, I can contact you. As for the cost, I don't know how to thank you for your help. I can help you deal with trivial matters." Mei
Lisa said.
"It's all-inclusive and you still have to pay out of pocket? Is that so cool?" Linton said.
"But I also have some questions. Why do you have to build a teleportation array in Torgart City?" Melissa asked.
"As a benefactor, I just can't bear to see the suffering of the people." Linton said, "Last time I went to Torgart City and found that many people there had difficulty traveling. I thought someone must stand up and help.
They have to deal with it practically. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, so I took over the matter without hesitation."
What Linton said was completely nonsense. Princess Yalan next to her rolled her eyes after hearing this. Could you make it up better? But Melissa didn't seem to hear it at all, and nodded with a smile: "That's it,
Lord Linton is really a kind person. Not only did he agree to my request when we met for the first time, but he was also keen to help ordinary people solve practical problems. He is different from the saints I have seen."
"Anyway, you agreed to help with this matter?" Linton asked.
"Please leave it to me." Melissa nodded and said.
"Then please complete it as soon as possible, preferably... within 11 days." Linton said, after all, there are still 11 days left in the task.
"11 days?" Melissa looked at Linton a little strangely, but nodded, "I understand, I will make arrangements for you immediately. There is one more thing, you promised to be my guard knight, I have already
I reported it to the church. I just received a notice from the church. I don’t need to go back to the church for the time being. There happens to be a trial mission nearby. The church will officially send the information later. Please help me when the time comes."
Last night, Melissa briefly explained the content of the selection of the church’s top priest. The selection period is actually quite long and lasts until the end of the year. The church will make the final evaluation based on the candidate’s performance during this period.
To put it simply, it is to find some tasks in the church. After completing them, you will naturally contribute. At the end of the year, you will go back to participate in the church’s top meeting. At that time, the candidates will each report their results, and then the church’s senior leaders will choose a successor.
Of course, Linton also knew that this was just a formality, but after all, he still had to go. Melissa came to Linton to help him deal with these more troublesome church tasks, which indeed required the help of the Knights. Of course, in Linton
It seemed to Dun that these tasks were also specially issued by the church, probably to observe themselves.
"I know, that's best." Linton of course agreed directly, "Anyway, I still have to deal with my own affairs first. When the things here are finished, I will help you solve the task immediately."
"Then I'll leave it to you, sir." Melissa said.
The two sides chatted for a while, but Melissa made Garsain feel restrained, and she felt a little uncomfortable being there. But soon, Melissa didn't know whether she sensed the atmosphere, and left early.
Of course Princess Yalan stayed here, and she obviously had something to talk to Linton about.
"Have you heard anything?" Linton asked.
"Judging from the current situation, she still seems to have some doubts about your ability to improve your strength so quickly." Princess Yalan said, "In her words, she asked about your master."
"Master..." Linton touched his chin, "Then since the other party asks, I will make up a master for her first and see how she reacts."
