Lin Ge's expression remained unchanged and his mouth moved slightly, "This spell is not very convenient."
"What? Master Lin Ge is still afraid that we will treat you badly? As long as you hand over this spell, we will naturally get more points for your Sword Wind City during this inspection. You have to think about it carefully."
When Lin Ge heard this, he still had a faint smile on his face, but his heart felt a little heavy.
fight.
Anything can be fought for.
As long as there are humans, the struggle will never stop.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the academic exchanges between branches are academic exchanges, and may also include some discussions between young mages between branches.
Of course, in recent years, adjustments have gradually become a mainstay. But in any case, academic exchanges in the eyes of ordinary people are just pure academic exchanges.
Little do they know that this kind of academic exchange is also related to the allocation of resources of the association.
The Mages Association is not an integrated organization.
It is an interest exchange body, equivalent to a trustworthy platform.
It provides convenient services to every mage and has no absolute superior-subordinate relationship.
The so-called president means that everyone trusts your judgment, not that you can unconditionally order everyone to do things.
I believe in you, you are the president.
I don’t believe you, are you a der?
This is true within the association, and it is also true between branches.
Everyone is equal, but the strong is respected.
If you are strong, or have made more contributions, there should naturally be benefits, and there will always be resources allocated to you.
The mage is very rich, and the mage is also short of money.
No matter how rich the mage is, he will sometimes be poor.
After all, many cherished high-end materials cannot be bought with money.
These are the interests that need to be fought for between chapters.
No one is a saint, but resources are limited. If you want to take one more bite, you must grab one from someone else's bowl.
Perhaps the Pope of the Shadow Sect, Isaac, was a bit alarmist, but there was generally nothing wrong with what he said.
There are fights everywhere, even among branches.
As for how to evaluate the contribution or development made by a branch in a city, most of the decision-making power lies in the hands of their Rainbow Council.
It's also a competition between young mages. Whether they let the more powerful person take the role or the weak one, the results are completely different.
Under normal circumstances, they will not deliberately target anyone or please anyone.
No need.
Too many times will cause controversy, affect authority, and eventually bottom out.
But once or twice, no one will care.
This is the human operating space.
Of course, if they are strong enough to defeat the Rainbow Council, then they can be treated as nothing.
But if you fail this year, you will become the Rainbow Parliament next year.
As long as you are within this system, the rules will run forever.
Of course, Ringo could choose not to submit to the requirements of the Rainbow Council, and no one could force him.
Knowledge is private, equivalent to property, and is sacrosanct.
Because of trust, private mages took the initiative to hand over their innovative spells to the association.
The same is true between branches. They can only make friends on their own initiative, and there is no need to come to ask for them.
"But can we really refuse to pay?"
In the secret room of the Sword Wind City branch, the top leaders of all branches gathered together.
The radiance of the spell is constant and dim, making it less dazzling at night.
After the welcoming ceremony, Ringo called all the senior leaders in the branch.
The minister responsible for managing the club's assets was the first to ask.
In such a public situation, it is naturally impossible for the people of the Rainbow Council to speak so openly.
There are benefits to handing it over.
On the contrary, if we don't pay, will there be any disadvantages?
It’s an inspection anyway, so if we in Jianfeng City are stricter, what can others say?
Ringo tapped his finger on the table.
"This spell comes with a signed agreement."
Their Jianfeng City branch recognizes this agreement, but it does not mean that branches in other cities also recognize it.
At that time, there were disputes within the branch over whether this spell could sign an agreement and the proportion of the agreement. In the end, the decision was made under the authority of him as the president.
And with the unruly masters of the Rainbow Council, the answer to this question is self-evident.
If this information is revealed, it will undoubtedly cause trouble to the personal mage who provides the spell.
This is what Ringo cares about.
The association's philosophy is to serve every mage, and it has never left its code of conduct.
"No one knew at the time that this spell would attract special attention from the Rainbow Council. Now that the situation is like this, we can completely renegotiate the content of the agreement with the mage."
The Finance Minister argued again.
It was just a trick. Although there was controversy at the time, it was more out of consideration for the association's face. In fact, no one thought that a trick could bring any benefits.
But now it seems that the influence of this trick is somewhat beyond their imagination.
"The worst case scenario is to give the mage some more rewards and buy out the right to use this spell in one fell swoop."
Someone suggested.
"Minister Eric, what do you think?"
Some people also thought of Minister Eric. This majestic mage minister made it clear at the time that he was unwilling to give a high proportion of the agreement.
"I?"
Master Eric looked gloomy and always seemed unhappy.
"I don't agree with handing it over."
???
I didn’t expect that you, a thick-browed man with big eyes, would also rebel?
Master Eric continued to explain: "I did not agree with the high-profit agreement at the time, but now that the agreement is signed, there is no reason to change it overnight? I recognize this agreement. Not only do I not agree with handing it over, I also
I don’t agree to go to that mage to renegotiate the content of the agreement. This matter belongs to our branch. What does it have to do with him as a private mage?”
"But the assessment..."
"Don't you have confidence in the young people in our branch? If their adults are interested, I wouldn't mind helping them."
As long as he determined his position, Master Eric remained as rigid as ever.
If you can't protect a person, how can you protect a city?
There was silence for a moment.
Master Eric's ideas are somewhat pure, with the naivety of an otaku, but that doesn't mean everyone is so pure.
The hard gap in strength cannot be made up by courage.
And the allocation of resources controlled by the General Assembly is really important to the career development of all mages in the entire city.
But the current situation obviously cannot convince anyone.
However, no matter what personal considerations everyone has, they are all considered for the sake of the entire branch and the entire city.
Ringo spoke out in the silence, breaking the silence.
"Let's vote."
Four to three...
Don't pay.
…
In the early morning, Li Wen was in great spirits and was about to go out to submit a new spell when he was stopped by a fat mage who looked like he was smiling.
"Hello, Master Li Wen, I am the finance minister of the Masters Association, Gudjin. I want to discuss something with you. I wonder if you are free?"
The tone was very kind and without any airs.
Li Wen nodded, "Okay."
Returning to Li Wen's house, Goodkin quickly and unobtrusively took a look at Li Wen's living environment, and felt a little more confident.
"It's like this. Our association signed an agreement with you before, which is about the 0-level spell - Icacia Thunder Shower. Now there is a problem. I want to ask you to see if you agree..."
