"Cook, what you said is true?" asked Pete with a look of incredulity, looking unconvinced that Cook was telling the truth.

"Hehe, of course it's true, and you may have heard that Your Excellency Sia has comprehended some of the magic patterns, and when you build the Mage Tower, I will invite Your Excellency Sia to participate, and after the Mage Tower belongs to the individual, our Hunter Guild will not take it back forever. Cook replied with a smile.

The expressions on the faces of several high-level mages are very exciting, even Pete's eyes of the guy who owns the mage tower flashed countless essences, you must know that once you have a private mage tower, it can be said that this is the biggest gift for future generations, a mage tower, after it is built, it can be used for countless years, even if the mage dies, although it will not be sold, but it is rented to other mages, or use this mage tower to attract those high-level mages to become the help of their own family, this is still a mage tower, this is simply an heirloom left for the family。

"Cook, what kind of conditions do you need to have the Mage Tower? Pete couldn't care much more, and what Pete asked was what the rest of the people wanted to ask.

"There is no detailed standard for this, and this standard is not unilaterally decided by our Hunter Guild, we still need to ask for your opinions, after all, if we set this standard extremely high, you will definitely not be convinced in your hearts, no, the purpose of my coming here is to pass on this news to you, I also know that several of them have a wide network, as long as they are interested in participating in the high-level mages, of course, those mages with unique research directions, our Hunter Guild is very welcome, I will give you half a month, everyone considers, and who else wants to join, our Hunter Guild also welcomes。 Cook replied.

The expressions on Pete's faces were very solemn, because Cook's words were already very clear, which meant that he wanted to leave the Wizards' Guild and join the Hunters' Guild, but this was not the main thing, Pete and the others looked at each other, and then Pete asked: "Cook, you must know that these research topics may require a five-condition investment of several years, or ten years, and this is a huge amount, I think this is not as few people as possible?"

"Don't worry, our Hunter Guild plans to invest at least five billion gold coins every year to fund your research, and of course this research must have a certain progress, so that we will increase our investment. Cook replied affirmatively, the last thing Cook worries about is money, you must know that just this auction, Cook's harvest is an astronomical amount, of course, the cash is only tens of billions of gold coins, and the rest is a large amount of real estate or magic materials and the like.

But Cook now not only has the Chamber of Commerce of the Underground World, the first layer of the world is almost in Cook's hands after the change of the Wizards' Guild, and more than 60% of the income of the third layer of the underground world is attributed to Cook, not to mention the wurm trade in the Barony's territory, as well as the upcoming trade with the Sea Clan.

Of course, there is a lot of money to spend, and a Mekay Empire needs to invest tens of billions of gold coins a year, until the hematopoietic function of the Mekay Empire gradually stabilizes, and the rise of the Hunter Guild, it definitely needs to be invested, but for these two expenditures, Cook's income is obviously more.

Cook's investment in magic research can be said to be deliberate, what is consumed in magic research, that is, magic materials, and how magic materials are obtained, which is obtained by countless people, that is, the investment of five billion gold coins is actually an indirect investment to those mercenaries.

Of course, Cook has a whole plan in his heart, that is, all the magic materials needed will be provided by the Adventurer Association, so that the five billion gold coins per year are equivalent to the vast majority of the investment in the Adventurer Association, so that the growth of the Adventurer Association is predictable.

The mercenaries have money, what are they going to do, the biggest expenditure of the mercenaries is equipment, so Cook only took out five billion gold coins, but he gained a lot.

The first is to win over these research-type high-level mages, you must know that although these mages do not have a deep background, they are a high-level mage with strong combat effectiveness, and these mages must have disciples, which is equivalent to Kukla gathering a large number of mages.

The second is the results of the study, which are definitely attributed to Cook.

The third is to strengthen the Adventurers' Association, because to purchase magic materials, the biggest targets are mercenaries and adventurers.

The fourth is that the mercenaries buy equipment, so the growth of the equipment department of the Hunter Guild is needless to say.

Fifth, Cook used this to establish the reputation of the Hunters' Guild and weaken the power of the Wizards' Guild.

So don't underestimate these five billion gold coins, the effect achieved after Cook's operation is very amazing, once Cook is willing, then you can add 10 billion gold coins, 15 billion gold coins, then the effect is even better.

"Cook, is there really five billion gold coins?" Pete's eyes widened, and their breathing became short, Pete's annual appropriation for each person is only tens of millions of gold coins at most, and sometimes it is only millions of gold coins, but the maintenance of the mage tower every year requires at least one million gold coins, and the magic power used by the mage tower is not provided by the magic crystal or the magic core, but the magic power obtained by the transformation elements of the mage tower itself, so five billion gold coins is definitely a large number.

Pete even calculated in his heart that his own people plus their acquaintances and friends added up to only a dozen people, and more than a dozen people had a minimum investment of five billion gold coins, and each person had at least two or three billion gold coins, which was equivalent to the previous appropriation of nearly ten years.

"Hehe, I've already said it, this is the lowest number. Cook said with a smile.

Pete was in a hurry now, Pete looked at Cook, and hurriedly asked, "Cook, are you going to just invest in these research topics?"

Pete pointed to the list of research topics and asked, because there are more than a dozen research topics on it, and there is no field that Pete is good at, and in the face of research investment of at least two or three billion gold coins per year, Pete can't help but be moved.

"Hehe, of course not, where do I know how many research topics there are, you can also apply for the topic yourself, once the review is passed, we will still invest funds. Cook replied with another smile.

"And what if I apply for a research topic?" asked Pete, ignoring the other people's attempts to speak, and stopped directly in front of Cook, and then stared straight at Cook.

"Yes!" Cook replied with a nod.

"Okay, I'll go write the application right away!" Pete turned and ran away, followed by Pete's shouting.

"Cook, I'm studying the magic of magic metals, and the amount of research involved in this is ....... The rest of the mages immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Don't worry, we will treat everyone equally, and besides, it's not up to me to have the final say, because our research institute has a decision-making level, the Grand Master of Leif Apothecary, the Grand Master of the West Asian Demon Array, and the Grandmaster of Lina Apothery, and Master Zuò of Miz Bow and Arrow. In addition, there is also a Dwarven Forging Grand Master, as well as a Dwarf Engineering Grand Master to participate in the whole review, as long as it is really necessary for research, we will not deduct the slightest. Cook quickly stood up and explained.

When the other mages heard Cook's answer, not only were they not relieved, but they asked eagerly, "Cook, you said that it was dwarves and gnomes, could it be that these two races are also involved?"

"Hehe, of course, the dwarven clan already has three topics, the first is the study of mineral veins, including the direction of flowing water, etc., this project I started in the barony, and I have invested more than 20 million gold coins before and after. The second is the research of mining machinery, which has invested more than 10 million dollars, and the other is the research of quenching technology, which is only a few million gold coins, and the dwarf clan also has several projects, one of which invests in the research of steam power, which has invested 50 million gold coins, and the research topics of these two races are about one billion gold coins a year. Cook replied in the affirmative.

"Damn, I have to hurry up and find someone, or the money will be divided by those little boys. After hearing this, one of the mages immediately jumped up, opened the huge magic crystal window in a flash of smoke, and then flew away directly, but the destination was another mage tower more than a thousand meters away.

"I'm going to write an application. The rest of the people left one after another, looking like an equatorial schoolboy, with an anxious face.

In the evening, Cook walked out of Pete's mage tower with a smile, and behind Cook was a group of people who came out to see him off, Cook's harvest today was huge, a total of thirty-six high-level mages joined this research institution, including thirty-one people at the eighth level, five people at the ninth level, and seven intermediate mages also applied for research topics, these intermediate mages are all disciples of these senior mages, and the application list in Cook's hand has hundreds, most of which are the current tutors of the Wushuang Academy.

"The things that money can do are small things. Cook looked at the high-level mages who were laughing and had their mouths wide open, and said to himself.

"Lord Cook!" When Cook walked out of the Wushuang Academy, someone next to him shouted to him, and Cook was depressed, why was there always someone waiting for him at this gate.

But when Cook looked at it, he understood that it was still the Murray Mentor, and it was obvious that the representatives of these families were ready.

"Mentor Morry!" Cook greeted cordially, since this Morry was waiting for him, then he must greet him warmly.

"Lord Cook!" Mentor Murry gave Cook a mage courtesy.

"Are you ready?" asked Cook with a smile.

"Ready. Murry replied.

"Alright then, you can go to the Hunters' Guild, and I'll go back there right away and see if there's any latest news. Cook said directly.

"Yes, I'll let them know right away. Murray replied quickly, and then left, looking anxious.

Cook's trip today was very successful, so he was very happy, and a mighty team of people returned to the Hunters' Union, and now the entire magic city is still under martial law, but this situation is only a day or two at most, and when Cook thoroughly grasps the situation, he will let go.

"How's it going? What's the latest news?" Cook returned to the Hunters' Guild and met Nikos Ferdy, who was also the intelligence leader of the Barony's Domain, and also a high-level thief, who used to follow Cook when he was only level six, but now he is at the peak of level seven, Cook's massive funds and industries everywhere make the intelligence network under this guy's hands very powerful, and when Cook had conflicts with the Wizards' Guild in the past, he was already collecting information from several major families behind the Wizards' Guild, and now he is just using it.

"Sir. The situation is a bit complicated, not only the Wizards' Guild, but also several other major guilds also have the shadow of these people, as well as several large empires. Nikos replied as he handed Cook a scroll.
