Chapter 951 Return of Basel
However, after all, the Mithril Alliance has been operating in the Breeze Plains for thousands of years, so it is still possible to cause some trouble for the Tower of Dusk. First of all, they used their own resources. The five major families all controlled quite a large territory. Although they did not surround the Tower of Dusk, they also blocked several directions.
So at the first opportunity, the five major families set up various levels of checkpoints on their respective territories. Although it is impossible to do too much to the caravan from the Tower of Twilight, but not allowing them to pass through their own territory, this is not considered undermining the new order.
In this case, the caravans from the Tower of Dusk, and even the caravans that buy the products from the Tower of Dusk, can only choose to bypass the territory of the five major families. It might have taken ten days to reach the destination, but I don't know how long it will take to go around. After all, the territory of the five major families is quite large, maybe twenty days, maybe a month. The trouble this brings to the Tower of Dusk is quite significant. The increase in transportation costs for the caravan is not a big deal. The key delays have a considerable impact on production and sales as well as the reputation of the Tower of Dusk.
In addition to often attacking the caravans of the Tower of Twilight, the Mithril Alliance has also secretly begun to use dirty tricks against the shops opened by the Tower of Twilight in various places, such as hiring ruffians to block the doors of the Tower of Twilight stores. , or throw dirty things in front of the store door in the middle of the night. However, this kind of despicable method has not done anything to the Tower of Twilight. Instead, it has completely embarrassed the Mithril Alliance itself. Who doesn’t know that the one who is against the Tower of Twilight now is the Mithril Alliance? .
As for those local gangsters, if they are caught, they will be severely beaten and then thrown into prison. Not only the people from Dusk Tower will beat them, but even the customers who come to the door will sometimes teach these scum a lesson for affecting their shopping. What the shops in the Tower of Twilight sell, magic weapons, equipment and potions, the customers they face are not ordinary people, they are traveling all over the world. Bloody adventurers. It's okay for those ruffians to scare ordinary people, but if they want to scare these adventurers, aren't they asking for trouble?
This kind of indiscriminate means can cause very little loss to the Tower of Dusk. The Tower of Dusk's business relies on bulk transactions, which and retail income only account for a small part of the total income. However, although these dirty tricks are not very effective, they are indeed quite disgusting.
In order to curb the development momentum of the Tower of Twilight, the Mithril Alliance has resorted to all possible means, even sacrificing the face of the traditional established forces. However, the Tower of Twilight only made one move, which immediately put the Mithril Alliance into a dilemma. Lin Li took time out of his busy schedule to write a letter with only a few words to the Kingdom of Leiding, and then the Mithril Alliance suffered a tragedy.
Like the Mithril Alliance, established forces that have been inherited for thousands of years have a profound foundation. At the same time, the entire system is much larger and more bloated than the emerging forces. Simply relying on the local business in Qingfeng Plain is hardly enough to maintain their huge The system is functioning, let alone making any progress. It is precisely because of this that the thirteen families took advantage of the opportunity to fight against the Blood Moon Society and became the five major families now. By annexing their former allies, the five major families were able to develop again.
Especially under the suppression of the Ash Warlock, the territory of Qingfeng Plains has hardly changed much for hundreds of years. All the forces that have reached their peak in Qingfeng Plains all understand the truth. If they want to continue to develop, they only need to Can expand beyond the light wind plains. Therefore, the Leiding Kingdom, which only has the Temple of Light, and various dwarf kingdoms that lack living resources, all have business with the top powers in the Qingfeng Plain.
Due to the obstruction of the Gargas Grand Canyon, trade between the forces on the Qingfeng Plain and the Dwarf Kingdom had to pass through the Kingdom of Leiding. However, with a letter from Lin Li, just like the Mithril Alliance dealt with the caravans of the Twilight Tower, the Kingdom of Leiding also began to blockade and attack the caravans of the five major families of the Mithril Alliance. At the same time, the Mithril Alliance's business in the Kingdom of Leiding has also been suppressed from all aspects. The nobles who usually benefited from the Mithril Alliance are no longer as enthusiastic as before.
While the businesses of the five major families in the Mithril Alliance were suppressed, the Tower of Dusk took advantage of the opportunity and began to take over the market vacated by the five major families. For a time, the Mithril Alliance's life was not easy. Even if they managed to pass this level, it would be difficult to regain the lost market.
The Mithril Alliance tried its best to suppress the Tower of Dusk's business in all aspects, but with little success. The Tower of Twilight counterattacked once, and the Mithril Alliance immediately fell into trouble. Although the five major families would not collapse immediately after losing the business of the Dwarf Kingdom and the Riding Kingdom, the sudden loss of the huge business profits was enough to make the patriarchs of the five major families vomit blood.
What is even more difficult for the Mithril Alliance to accept is not how much they have lost, but the benefits they have lost. Almost most of them have gone into the pockets of the Dusk Tower that they want to suppress. What they tried their best to do was to prevent the Tower of Twilight from developing rapidly, but unexpectedly, the Tower of Twilight seized the opportunity and once again had a big development.
On the Qingfeng Plain, the various forces that have been paying attention to the fight between the two families can't help but feel scared when they recall what they did to the Tower of Dusk before. They never imagined that the Tower of Twilight could have such great energy. Not only was it protected by the Ash Warlock, but it could also influence the decisions of the royal family of the Kingdom of Leiding. Is this still an ordinary local force? At the same time, they were somewhat secretly glad that they did not continue to fight against the Tower of Twilight with the Mithril Alliance, otherwise they would have died without a burial place.
Even top forces like the Mithril Alliance have suffered losses from the Tower of Dusk. Doesn’t that mean that the Tower of Dusk is now the strongest in the Breeze Plains? Those forces that were still waiting and watching, with this idea in mind, sent people to the Tower of Twilight one after another, hoping to repair the previous misunderstanding caused by the so-called being taken advantage of.
Under the pressure of the Mithril Alliance, a veteran force with thousands of years of heritage, the Tower of Dusk not only did not stop its development, but also gained more. In addition to specific benefits, its momentum and momentum on the Qingfeng Plain were status? Time also skyrocketed again.
However, has the Mithril Alliance just given up? No one knows, after all, thousands of years of operation have accumulated a profound foundation, and no one can predict what other methods they hide.
It has been some time since he came back from the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. Lin Li is waiting for the notification from Hoffman. At the same time, he is working hard to improve his strength every moment, not only to explore the ruins, but also to prepare for the Gresco prophecy. catastrophe. Although he has reached the peak of legend, Lin Li is still making obvious progress every day, moving towards the gate of the sanctuary step by step.
But on this day, Lin Li did not wait for the notice from Hoffman, but instead waited for an unexpected person, someone who should have come long ago but never came.
"Master Basel, long time no see, what are you?" After hearing the report from his subordinates, Lin Li immediately rushed to the reception room. The visitor waiting in the reception room was the so-called library in the Doland Library. Administrator's Master of Basel.
When Lin Li first came to Qingfeng Plains, he built the Tower of Twilight in Doland despite the support of the Supreme Council. However, how could a newly established magic union without any reputation attract magicians to join it? At that time, whether it was the local forces in Dorland or those in other magic unions who disliked Lin Li, almost everyone was waiting to see his joke, waiting for him, a country bumpkin from Garos, to go back in despair. countryside.
It was Master Basel, known as the librarian, who introduced the magicians in the library who were equivalent to his own students to join the still unknown Tower of Twilight, helping Lin Li solve the embarrassing situation of being the bare president. Although Lin Li was confident that even without the support of others, he could quickly make the Dusk Tower famous in Qingfeng Plain with his own strength, but Master Basel's approach could definitely be called a timely help.
Among the group of magicians introduced by Basel, Gavin has become a senior executive of the Tower of Twilight and has made considerable contributions to the development of the Tower of Twilight in the past two years. And Elan even stepped into the legendary realm, becoming the first legendary mage trained by the Tower of Twilight and serving as the leader of the mage group. In addition to these two people, there are many people in important positions in the Tower of Twilight today, all of whom are from the group of magicians introduced by Basel. It can be said that the development of Tower of Twilight today is indeed inseparable from Basel’s original support.
However, Basel originally promised Lin Li that he would come to the Tower of Twilight to serve as the referee, and it was agreed that it would be three months later. But when Lin Li came back from the Blackstone Mountains, he could not be found in the Doland Library. I don't know how many three months had passed by now.
Of course, Lin Li didn't mean to complain about Basel. Although in the early days of the Tower of Twilight, if such a legendary powerhouse joined, it would make the development of the Tower of Twilight go more smoothly, but it would obviously affect the development of the Tower of Twilight. Chairman of his authority in the Tower of Dusk. After all, at that time, Lin Li was just a great magician. Even with the title of president, Basel was definitely still in the hearts of many magicians.
What surprised Lin Li was that Basel appeared in front of him at this time. Although he was as pale and kind as before, with a light of wisdom in his eyes, he looked dusty and even had a vague look. A hint of embarrassment.
Hearing Lin Li's inquiry, Basel shook his head with a wry smile and said, "President Ferre, I'm really ashamed to say that I should have come to see you a long time ago, but I didn't want to be delayed by something in the middle."
"Oh, please take a seat..." Lin Li offered Ji Ser to the seat and sat down beside him.
When he met Basel for the first time, Lin Li was quite frightened. From when he learned magic with Anduin, to when he outputted 28 minutes of magic power during the magic test, it seemed that no secret of his could escape his eyes. Therefore, from Lin Li's perspective at the time, Basel gave him the impression that he was enigmatic, or that he was an outsider.
Therefore, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little curious about what Basel said. What kind of thing actually delayed a legendary master like Basel for so long, and judging from his slightly embarrassed look now, it seems that the matter has not really been resolved.
After Basel sat down again, without waiting for Lin Li to ask, he talked about the reason why he broke the appointment: "According to the original agreement with you, I should have come to the Tower of Dusk a long time ago, but when I was about to come, I didn't. I received a letter from one of my former students."
"Your students?" Lin Li was a little surprised. When chatting with Gavin and others before, when talking about Basel, no one had ever heard that he had students.
Although the magicians in the library have received guidance from Basel in the past, and can be regarded as his students in a certain sense, but strictly speaking they are not. To the magicians studying in the library, Basel never regarded himself as a teacher, only said that he was a librarian, and those magicians also called him teacher privately, but in person they still only called him sir or master. . Therefore, now that Basel suddenly mentioned that he had a student, Lin Li was a little surprised.
"Haha, UU read www.uukanshu.net this student of mine is not strictly a real magician. His talent in magic is really nothing outstanding." Speaking of his student, although he said He has no magical talent, but there was a hint of complacency in Basel's tone, and he continued: "It should be said that he is a scholar, a scholar with profound knowledge in archeology, and he only learns magic to facilitate archaeology in the field."
"I wonder what your student is called?" Lin Li asked curiously.
I originally thought that Basel did not accept students because they were too picky. Although the magicians in the library have good qualifications, they are not magic geniuses that are rare to see in hundreds of years. If it were not for the huge convenience provided by the Twilight Tower, I am afraid that Few have any hope of entering the realm of legend. But I didn't expect that Basel not only has students, but also students who have no talent in magic. So the only thing Basel values is his archaeological attainments.
"His name is Davos. Maybe you have heard of his name." Basel said a name that shocked Lin Li in a calm tone.
Davos, I have not only heard this name before, but I have heard it too much! If he hadn't been convinced of Basel's character, Lin Li might have suspected that he was bragging. a.
