Chapter 675: Choice

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Cook is now in the Monto Empire, stationed near the established port, because the threat of the beast tide has been solved, so the port is busy again, countless crowds of people flock here, for those civilians, eating is the most important thing, the food is not enough, and living is also a crime, of course, because Cook almost annihilated the beast tide with his own forces, so after knowing the relationship between Cook and this port, most people are willing to run away and work here, the picture is a sense of security.

As for the sense of security of the little people, the people of the Magicians Guild have a different feeling, in fact, in this matter, in the eyes of outsiders, the Magicians Guild plays a not very glorious role, and it is not for nothing that they secretly scold their mothers.

In fact, the top management of the Magician Guild is also quite depressed, it is precisely because of the huge size of the Magician Guild, so before making every decision, you must have a basic understanding of things, and the place of the Monto Empire used to be a desert for almost all forces, where poisonous insects are rampant, and there are natives who eat people, and the climate is not very good, and there is a lot of rain, but suddenly the Monto Empire has become the focus of all forces, and at this time, even if the Magician Guild can be calmly arranged, it has not had much effect.

Of course, it is not denied that the Wizards' Guild has the idea of reshuffling the Monto Empire, as for the beast tide attack, how big of a thing? It's just a few civilians.

But before the bloated institution of the Wizards Guild reacted, the news of Cook's recruitment of top mercenaries had reached the ears of the Wizards Guild, and at this time the Wizards Guild became anxious, but the huge institutions have a shortcoming, that is, the institutions are bloated and slow to respond, when the Wizards Guild learned from the side that the mastermind behind the beast tide was a silver wolf, and at the same time they were relieved and decided to brush up on their prestige, just as the Wizards Guild decided to release the news, a thunderbolt came, that is, Cook fired a legendary-level magical beast that could inspire the realm, and it was also an extremely rare three-eyed fox。

Everyone who heard the news was stunned for a moment, and then they scolded in their hearts: "Nima, has it been three hours since I received the Demon Beast Siege? No, it has only been more than two hours, but Nima, a legendary-level Demon Beast that can stimulate the realm, was captured alive in less than three hours?

When the news came back, all the forces were silent, in this beast tide attack, the major forces followed the footsteps of the magician union, but I didn't expect that this time someone actually came out to cut off the beard, when Cook hired a top mercenary in the eyes of all forces, it was just this guy who was stupid, but he didn't expect people to really have a hand.

To tell the truth, the top mercenaries hired by Cook are nothing at all in front of those big forces, ninth-level powerhouses, and there is no shortage of legendary powerhouses behind the big forces, let alone ninth-level powerhouses.

Therefore, several major trade unions rushed to the port as soon as they got the news, but the sad thing is that because the road is impassable, it took a long time for all parties to arrive.

"Haha, welcome, welcome, welcome. As soon as Cook entered the door, he saw more than a dozen people in the black press, most of them were acquaintances, the president of the Wizards' Union, the president of the Mercenary Union, the president of the Thieves' Union, the president of the Warrior Union, and more than a dozen people, including the president of the Apothecary Guild, Cook's mentor Grand Master Lef, the president of the Alchemy Association, and so on, all watched Cook come in.

The moment these people saw Cook, they showed amazement, surprise, doubt, jealousy, dissatisfaction, and relief, but these expressions were only fleeting, but Cook found out.

"Baron Cook, congratulations, congratulations. "It's the president of the warriors' union who said this, but there are some problems with this title, because among all Cook's titles, baron is just the lowest, whether it is a pharmacist or a magician, the title of baron is absolutely ironic in this circle, because this circle is all professionals, if outsiders call Cook a baron, it is an honorific title.

"Well said, well said. Cook is not a fool, the president of the warrior union said so, and Cook only replied perfunctorily, and the cold tone made people find it without thinking about it.

"Cook, well done. Leif stood up and said in admiration.

"Mentor!" Cook was respectful to Leif from the bottom of his heart, and this was the first etiquette Cook did after he came in.

"Sir Cook, introduce yourself, I'm Rastin, the president of the Hunters' Guild!" a person next to him stood up and introduced himself with a smile.

"Huh?" Cook looked at the round guy in amazement, is this a hunter?

"I heard that Your Excellency is also a hunter, and on behalf of the Hunters Guild, I solemnly invite Your Excellency to serve as the Grand Elder of the Hunters Guild. The president of the Hunters' Guild then said solemnly, handing Cook a scroll.

"Ahem, President Rastin, Cook is from our Wizards' Guild. The president of the Wizards' Guild coughed twice, then reminded.

And Cook heard this. There are only three words in my heart: "Weird?"

Why do you say that, because the Wizards' Guild and the Hunters' Guild are like the difference between billionaires and civilians, and billionaires talk to civilians so politely? No!

"We Hunters' Guild don't mind that Cook is a magician. Rastin's eyes narrowed and he said casually.

The president of the Wizards Guild, it should be accurate to say that the vice president, the president of the main post Cook is very familiar, but there are many vice presidents of the Wizards Guild, and the vice president is generally only involved in managing affairs, not that the strength of the vice president is strong, how high the level is, because the more senior the magician, the less time to manage the affairs of the union, so the vice president is basically equivalent to the role of a professional manager, but the vice president represents the wizards union after all, so no one dares to give face.

The vice president was angry, because the Wizards' Guild did not recognize this situation, except for the identity of mercenaries, of course, it was either a member of the Wizards' Guild or someone from other unions, of course, only the Magicians' Guild would be so strong, and the rest of the major guilds would not.

But then again, everyone is willing to join the Wizards' Guild, and everyone knows that this is a truth, of course, if you are a warrior or a thief, if you want to become a member of the Wizards' Guild, it will be very difficult.

As for the Wizards' Guild, there are also warriors and thieves, but they are just supernumerary members, and they enjoy no higher benefits than magicians.

A smile appeared on the corner of Cook's mouth, because this scene was so weird, the Hunters' Guild dared to provoke the Wizards' Guild, and the rest of the major guilds all had a posture that I didn't know, which meant something, it showed that there was something strange.

Cook secretly calculated in his heart, this hunter union dared to provoke the wizards' union, in such an environment, it was not that the hunter union was stronger than the wizards' union, but that everyone present was afraid of the president of the hunter union.

But then Cook thought about it, hunters are vegetables, but any profession, as long as the cultivation reaches a certain height, then it is not a vegetable, but a raptor.

Cook said that he couldn't sweep Rastin with his magic eye, and then Cook instantly realized that this girl was actually a legendary powerhouse, and a hunter at the level of a legendary powerhouse, this was more awesome than any profession at the level of legendary.

As mentioned earlier, the hunter is a profession that takes into account both melee and long-range combat, and it can be regarded as all-round, and the range of the hunter's bow and arrow can theoretically be comparable to that of the genuine archer, and the archer is the nemesis of the magician, and the warrior is the nemesis of the archer, but when the warrior meets the hunter, the hunter is not afraid of the warrior at all, your melee, Lao Tzu can also be melancho, as for the thief, the hunter will also set traps, so the hunter theoretically does not have any restraint profession.

But again, people's energy is limited, and theoretical things are always theoretical, but a legendary-level hunter, this is enough to make everyone respect, not to mention anything else, just the word legendary is enough.

"Lord Cook, on behalf of the Mercenary Guild, I present you with a Legendary Badge, the first Legendary Badge recorded in the Mercenary Guild's history. And the mercenary union didn't care, and immediately jumped out to issue badges.

You must know that Cook is a registered mercenary, and this mercenary led the team to capture a legendary-level magical beast alive, what is this, this is an example, this is the honor of the mercenary union, and the honor of the entire mercenary professional.

"What's the use of this thing?" Cook looked at the badge made of magic alloy in his hand, and could tell that this badge was extremely old.

"Hehe, Lord Cook, I can tell you about the origin of the Legendary Badge in a moment. The mercenary guild man said with a smile.

As soon as Cook heard it, he knew that this was an invitation in disguise, and Cook nodded and said, "Well, I haven't heard of a legendary-level mercenary badge yet." ”

Cook now finally understands what these guys are doing, this is to brush up on prestige, capturing the legendary level of Warcraft alive will definitely cause a sensation in the mainland, it is very likely that this legend will be changed by countless bards into a rap with stories all over the continent, and the benefits of the unions involved in it must be huge, you must know that those who like to listen to bards are generally children, and the first impression of childhood is the most important.

If there is no Magician's Guild in this legend, but there is a Hunter's Guild, then becoming a hunter may be a child's dream, and there are many successful people on the continent who are rushing to become hunters, so what about the Magicians' Guild? This is the influence!

After Cook figured out the cause and effect, he said to Rastin, "I'm ashamed, I'm a very incompetent hunter, and now I'm just a small second-level hunter!"

"Second-level hunter, what about Nima's ghosts?" Everyone present secretly cursed in their hearts, not that everyone wanted to come, but if you don't come, it is a matter of attitude, in the future, Cook will crook his mouth, maybe the reputation of the union will stink on the mainland, these people secretly scolded Cook in their hearts, and also secretly scolded the Magicians Union, you are also the number one force, and you actually led us like this, Yaya's phew!

"Level 2 Hunter!" the corners of Rastin's mouth twitched, obvious disbelief.

"Don't believe you?" Cook didn't show the slightest respect, and directly took out the second-level hunter badge.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they understood that Cook wanted benefits, but for Rustin, you just want benefits, you have to agree directly, and don't mention any requests, then there are ghosts.

"It's our dereliction of duty, it's our system, and it's ....... Rastin's fat lips flew up and down, and we had such and such shortcomings in the union, and the personnel were not very good, and Su zhì was not tall or anything, and Cook didn't know what Rastin's meaning when he said this.

Rastin's words changed when he was about the same: "It is precisely because of the current situation of the Hunter Union that we need to jointly maintain and develop, otherwise the Hunter Union will really decline!"

"Shameless, isn't your hunter's union in decline now?" everyone listened to the latter sentence. Immediately understood, this Rastin's final meaning is to say, Cook, I'll hand over the Hunters' Guild to you, whatever you want, that's all right! Of course, this is the subtext, and Rastin can't just say, Cook, you come, I'll let you manage the Hunters' Guild, this is too much, isn't it.

Cook also thought for a while to understand the meaning of Rattin's words, Cook was a little hesitant at this time, of course, the temptation to manage a union is still big enough, Cook did not answer immediately, because Cook knew that it was not just the Hunter Guild that played the cards.

Sure enough, the first one to jump out was the Magicians Guild, and the vice president of the Magicians Guild said with a smile: "Cook, in view of your contributions, the Guild has decided to give you the position of first-class deacon after research, this is the letter of appointment!"

"First deacon?" said Rastin, sarcastically, without giving any face.

"First Deacon, Pharmacist's Guild!" said the president of the Magicians' Guild through gritted teeth.

"Tsk, I remember that there seemed to be more than a dozen deacons in the Pharmacists Association, but it was also true, that place was a fat shortage, and many related guys went there. Rastins sighed, but what this meant was that the place of the Pharmacists Association was a place to make money, and the potential meaning of the word "related" was that there was no ability, and only those with connections went there.

Cook also understood the meaning of these two people's words in a half-loud voice, and Cook said in surprise: "No, I remember that there are only a thousand registered pharmacists, and most of them are low-level pharmacists, and there are more than a dozen first-class deacons?"

There are also second-class deacons, third-class deacons, and chief deacons below the first deacon, and so on, which means that there are basically hundreds of people in the general manager category of the deacon of the Pharmacists Association.

"Hehe, it's mainly for the pharmacists to provide better service. The vice president of the Wizards' Guild laughed, because there were too many people staring at that place, and that place was a veritable fat shortage.

"Oh, the errand of the servant!" said Rustin, who let out an enlightened sigh on the side, but the latter words did not make the vice president of the Wizards' Guild angry.

Leif didn't speak, in fact, this time Cook was hard against the beast tide, Leif still admired it very much, in this beast tide incident, Leif was not without effort, but it was still the same sentence, in the huge organization of the Wizards' Union, a person, even if it was a great master, it was not much use to speak, and in Lef's opinion, if Cook entered the Pharmacists Association, it might also limit Cook's development, after all, the Pharmacists Association has its own set of rules.

The mercenary guild watched the excitement, the warrior guild looked up at the wooden roof, and the thieves guild bowed their heads and drank water, apparently not intending to participate in the fight.

The Thieves' Guild also knows that this matter has nothing to do with itself, and the focus of the competition is between the Hunter Guild and the Wizard Guild, but the Thieves' Guild is not optimistic about the Wizard Guild, because it can be seen from two points, one is that the Hunter Guild directly came to the boss, and the Wizard Guild is just a layman, and the professional manager is not the one who is the one who is the first, so this attitude can be seen who attaches more importance to it.

There is also Cook's attitude, it seems that Cook's attitude is very ambiguous, but the president of the Thieves Guild understands in his heart that Cook's choice is the Hunter Guild, because in this beast tide, the Wizards' Guild plays a dishonorable role, and the Hunter Guild is powerless.

Moreover, Cook overshadowed the Wizards' Guild this time, and the senior management of the Wizards' Guild must be unhappy, which can be seen from Leif not persuading Cook.

There is also the Thieves' Guild's contribution to Cook's contribution to the Wizards' Guild, that's all it knows, but it's so much contribution, if it weren't for the fact that the Wizards' Guild really wanted to save face this time, a first-class deacon wouldn't give Cook, and how many first-class deacons were in the Wizards' Guild? There are thousands of people, one is one of the thousands, and the other is the great elder of the Hunters Guild, everyone knows how to choose.

"Hehe, let me think about it. "Cook is also disdainful of this first-class deacon, first-class deacon, what kind of thing, and Cook is also worried that he will offend the magicians' union this time, maybe after becoming a first-class deacon, someone will secretly plot against himself, of course, Cook is not afraid of plotting, but because of some small things and trouble, caught in such a cycle, Cook still has time to cultivate? So Cook still wants to go to the Hunters Guild in his heart.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Hunter Guild is just a declining union, but after all, it is a union, and Cook has too many things in his hands, so it is not difficult to really practice the Hunter Guild, because what, because Cook has huge resources in his hands, and the Wizard Guild is huge. It is to occupy a lot of resources.

Of course, Cook also has to think carefully, after all, if he chooses the Hunter Guild, it is very likely to be suppressed by the Wizards' Guild, and in the face of a behemoth like the Wizards' Guild, no one wants to stand on its opposite side, which may be the reason why the Wizards' Guild sent a vice president here.

So Cook still has to think carefully, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision, because Cook is not a person now, and there are many, many people involved.

Since Cook said so, it was difficult for the rest of the people to say anything, and Cook sent people to take these people to rest, and the first thing Cook asked for was Lef's opinion.

Cook and Leif had a very close relationship, and Cook asked directly, "Mentor, what do you say I should choose?"

"Cook, what do you think?" Leif asked Cook rhetorically, although Leif knew Cook's hesitation, but still wanted to listen to Cook's thoughts.

Cook pondered for a moment and said: "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, this incident has made the Wizards Guild lose face, which can be expected from just sending a vice president this time, but how to say it, the first deacon is a bit insulting." ”

Leif heard Cook's words and said, " Cook, your idea is right, this beast tide makes me feel powerless, there are too many people in the union who can call the shots, even if it is my identity, I am not very valued when I speak, and Cook, the position of first-class deacon has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that you can develop your own network, the disadvantage is that if someone makes it bad, you will fall into non-stop trouble, although it seems that it is some small troubles, and it can be easily solved, but you have to know that this is to consume time, and it takes time to deal with things, so there is not much relative cultivation time, I have seen too many geniuses who have been crippled by others with this trick, By the time you wake up, it's already completely late, Cook, your talent goes without saying, I still say that, strength is the first. ”

Cook was startled for a moment before he said, "Impossible, they're going to do that?"

"Yes, the major families in the Magician Guild, the major forces are in a balance of interests, you occupy this position, someone will inevitably lose interests, and those families, behind the forces are colluded with each other, their means of dealing with geniuses is to co-opt, and if you don't achieve it, you will have no time to cultivate, and you will fall into constant strife and trouble, so that you have no intention of cultivating, there is definitely more than one such thing within the Magician Guild, and since someone is co-opting, then the people who are on the opposite side of the interest will definitely not want to see it, so it is inevitable to make the bad behind it。 Lef's words completely unraveled the biggest reason why the magic family of the Wizards' Guild is still prosperous.

After hearing this, Cook felt a biting cold all over his body, all along, the Wizards' Guild has been a relatively fair place in Cook's heart, but now that Leif said this, Cook also realized that he also entered the Wizards' Guild with the Wizarding Family, although this magical family is relatively small, but it is foreseeable that this small magical family is attached to other large magical families.

Leif continued, "Cook, all you have to worry about is that after you enter the Hunters' Guild, the Wizards' Guild will suppress you, right?"

"Yes!" Cook admitted without hesitation in the face of Lef's bloody question.

Leif stood up and was about to leave, Cook looked at Leif in amazement, and when Leif walked to the door, he asked meaningfully: "Cook, is it easy to dodge with a hidden arrow or an open gun!"

When Cook heard this, he immediately understood that he chose the Hunters Guild, and the Wizards' Guild had to deal with him, only by understanding, and if he entered the Wizards' Guild, he would face a knife in his back.

"Alas!" Cook sighed, Leif is worthy of being an old fellow who has lived for more than a hundred years, and one sentence points out Cook's doubts, and another sentence points out what Cook should do.

Not long after Leif left, the president of the mercenary guild came to Cook's room, and carried a bottle of wine in his hand, and the president said with a smile: "This is five hundred years of elven gin, Cook, you have a mouthful." ”

"Hehe, please take a seat!" Cook did not yet know the name of the president of the mercenary union.

"Thanks, you can call me Mark!" said the president of the mercenary guild with a nod.

Cook directly brought over the two cups, and then asked with a smile, "President Mark, what does the legendary badge say?"

"The Legendary Badge is a recognition of strength, which has many benefits, but first of all, the Legendary Badge can only be awarded in two situations, the first is to kill the Legendary level mission target. The second is a mercenary who has completed all the tasks from the lowest to the highest level. President Mark opened the crystal bottle, poured out the thick liquor, and explained.

Cook listened with a smile, of course Cook didn't think that this badge was that simple, and President Mark continued: "This legendary badge is actually related to a secret!"

"Secret?" Cook picked up his wine, and a fragrance immediately hit his face.

"Yes, our mercenary union is not just a mercenary union and a low-level plane, our mercenary union is a mercenary union and all planes, even the divine realm, and this legendary badge is a token, a token that can be exempted from the test to join the mercenary union in the high-level plane. President Mark spoke in astonishment.

"There are mercenary unions in the high-level planes?" Cook asked in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"How strange, in fact, if you want to talk about the strength of the high-level, the mercenary union is the strongest, and the magician union is a fart!" President Mark said angrily.

"No, magicians are very strong. Cook shook his head.

"Magician, it's just a low-level elemental control, if nothing else, when you reach the legendary level, a magician must be stronger than a warrior?" Mark asked rhetorically.

Cook was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, the legendary-level powerhouse, not to mention the fighting spirit and magic power, just say that the body is vigorous, and the warrior is still strong after the fighting energy is consumed, and once the magic power is consumed, he is not a warrior's opponent at all, let alone a legendary-level archer.

"The Magician's Guild is just a king and hegemony in the low-level plane, in the God Realm, the Magician is simply the lowest profession, because in the Divine Realm, most people have their own beliefs in the gods, and the Magicians' Guild is more sad, the fire system is governed by the God of Fire, the water system is governed by the God of Water, and there are too many people who can manage, so the Magician Guild is like that in our eyes, and what do we say about the Mercenary Guild, it's just a platform, but this platform really can't be without, all kinds of tasks, the demand for various materials must always have channels to release, buy it, so the mercenary union is in the high-level plane, and the strength is not small。 "President Mark took a sip of wine, and yes, it was dry in one gulp.

Cook really didn't expect that there were still these secrets, and Cook asked curiously, "So the mercenary union can contact the upper echelons?"

"Why not, don't think that those guys in the temple have a way, our mercenary guild still has that ability!" President Mark gave Cook a suspicious look, and then said affirmatively.

Cook didn't ask too much at this point, Cook just wanted to ask about the Demon Tattooer, but Cook found that this thing was a bit abrupt, and he didn't guarantee that what Mark said was true or false.

"Cook, don't you think that our mercenary guild has this legendary badge itself?" Mark asked with a look at Cook's eyes when he saw that Cook was a little suspicious.

"It can't be teleported down from above, is it?" said Cook, sitting up in shock.

"Hehe, guessed right, this badge is actually no longer a simple badge, it's still a pet space, taking into account a storage space, and this thing is unique, except for yourself, even if someone else gets it, it doesn't have any effect, it is said that this is the top magic pattern equipment. President Mark smirked.

Cook took a closer look, and this look was indeed magic pattern equipment, but Cook also knew that this badge must be more than the functions that Mark said, of course, Cook would not ask, after all, this is space magic pattern equipment, and Cook has time to study.

Mark chatted with Cook for a while before leaving, Mark didn't ask Cook what choice he would make, anyway, the Legend Badge had already been given away, and his mission was complete.

Cook is still busy next, the first thing Cook has to do is to give his people some warnings, then why am I going to be the great elder of the Hunters Guild, the Wizards Guild may not be satisfied, what do you have to do to clean up quickly.

This warning was sent to the Orc Chamber of Commerce, the Barony's Domain, and some related agencies, of course, Cook hinted at it more vaguely and did not say it directly.

In the end, Cook played disappearing, but Cook had to disappear, because the end of the hand with the Wizards' Guild could not be sorted out in a day or two, taking the Barony's Territory as an example, the transaction between magic materials and the Wizards' Guild had to settle the amount, and there was also the need to prevent the Magicians' Guild from sabotaging.

There is also a reason why Cook disappeared, because the Mekay Empire is going to have a spring festival, and the spring festival is a heavy activity of the orcs, mainly to pray for a good harvest year this year, and Cook has to attend such a heavy dà occasion, and in the Mekay Empire, it is still a biting cold wind.

However, the spring festival is not only a sacrificial activity, but also some related entertainment measures, wrestling competitions, horseback riding competitions, as well as wood-carrying competitions, as well as cattle and sheep catching competitions, etc., after Cook saw such an introduction, with a wave of the pen, tens of millions of gold coins were allocated out, and a large number of materials, because for Cook, the Mekay Empire is one of Cook's biggest hole cards, of course, Cook has other hole cards, but this has the greatest impact, Cook even thought maliciously, if your magician's union is excessive, believe it or not, I will take the orcs from the Golden Pass directly to the magic city?

ps: There was a fire in the Mid-Autumn Festival next door, we were busy grabbing things, that mess, but fortunately it didn't burn to the place where we lived, so in recent days I have been charging the notebook in other places, needless to say the environment of the code word, and I borrowed someone else's wireless network card, every time I upload it is laborious, and the maintenance of the network cable and circuit will take about a week.
