Chapter 301 - Magic Tycoon, No One Other Than Me (1/2)
At this moment, the guild leader scolded, “Jason, stop. Hawk and Link built a dock prototype on their own. He’s more capable than you. If you want to be the deputy leader, you’ll need a few more years of training.”
The man called Jason stopped talking in embarra.s.sment.
“Also, Hawk, take the people from Delpon and move to Bluewater Harbor right now to a.s.sist Brenda in managing that place. As a single woman, she lacks some dominance, and the situation in Bluewater Harbor is not too optimistic right now. She’s about to lose control of the situation.”
Hawk said with some confusion, “Can’t we let the others go? I’ll make her unhappy if I show up out of the blue.”
“She can’t wait for you to get over there,” someone blurted out.
The others would have laughed, and would most likely have laughed boisterously if the situation wasn’t really dire right now.
Hawk scratched his head. “What about Delpon?”
The guild leader said bluntly, “Let Jason take care of it. I’ve still got those same words: whoever advocates the matter will take charge of it. Jason, since you think you can take the taxation power from F6’s Roland, then you do it.”
Jason revealed a delighted expression. “I understand.”
Hawk hesitated for a moment and said, “Maybe I’d better stay in Delpon; Roland and I are friends after all, and my words still hold some sway. If we let Jason go over there, with his personality, there will really be no way to redeem the situation.”
“It doesn’t matter now that things have come to this, it’s okay to burn bridges.” The guild leader in sipped his water and continued, “Maybe Jason can change the situation with bared fists. Even if he fails, the situation won’t be any worse than it is now.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Hawk sighed. “Okay, you guys decide.”
The guild leader continued, “Finally, I’ll reiterate one more point. No matter what kind of conflict you have with another player, don’t bring the fire of war to the NPCs. Players’ matters are settled between players, and if you want to achieve your objectives by threatening and killing NPCs familiar to your opponent, don’t blame me for being harsh if I find out about it.”
After that, that guild leader said quite a bit about the dilemma facing the guild and how to deal with it, and Hawk listened in a daze. He seemed to have listened to everything, but remembered nothing.
After the guild leader dismissed the meeting, Hawk, muddleheaded, got into the game’s virtual pod and entered the game again.
Link was just a short distance away, directing the workers to clear the debris, and when he saw him come online, he immediately trotted over and asked, “What did the guild leader say?”
“We’re being transferred.”
“Oh.” Link didn’t care. “Going anywhere is the same.”
“We’re going to Bluewater Harbor to help Brenda.”
Stunned momentarily, Link complained, “Why are we helping that s.l.u.t?”
Hawk showed a faint sadness. “The guild leader’s orders. He wants to take down Jason—Roland’s not that easy to get along with, and when Jason fails, he’ll have a reason to deal with him.”
Link clicked his tongue. “The guild is looking more and more like a real company now.”
“There was no chance before, but now that there’s a chance to show his business leaders.h.i.+p skills in the game, the guild leader is sure to move the guild toward the corporate side.” Hawk sighed. “I don’t know if that’s good or bad.”
At this moment, Roland was in the Magic Tower, a.n.a.lyzing the principles of enchantment.
He learned all the magic that he could now and forgot about the magic that he couldn’t learn for the time being.
With so many nodes and exaggerated magical s.p.a.ce capacity, Mystra’s Mansion would absolutely be a 100% head explosion if it failed.
He put it aside for now and tried to figure out enchantment first.
Roland studied for a while, typing out the properties of several magical materials, then opened the forum and was about to upload his findings.
However, he saw a message from someone he’d whitelisted on the forums, opened it up, and found it was the data powerhouse O’Neal.
