Chapter 1271 Alliance
"During the meal before, you questioned my words. When I said that the incident in Anna City was caused by the Knights of the Round Table, your eyes flickered and you were doubtful. I have already determined that you are not gullible. Since you are not gullible, Sir, I conclude that you must have done some research before this trip. The Megalithic Guild is a large guild, second only to the five major guilds in strength, and the intelligence agencies must not be idle. So, if you want to find out an incident that is not considered confidential, It's so easy, that's why I said, you were pretending to be drunk before, but you are well prepared this time."
"No wonder a powerful woman like the president of the New Heroic Guild would like you," Stowe said, "You have the capital and the vision."
I laughed and didn't explain.
"You're right, I did search for all the information I could find, and asked for all the relevant details." Stowe said in a muffled voice: "However, it's not that I don't trust you, but that for someone in my position, You need to be careful when doing things, no matter big or small.”
"I understand that you have to plan for the future of your guild, and you also have to consider the safety of your guild members, and even more, the safety of your own family. If I were you, maybe I would do more."
"You can understand, that's the best thing," Stowe said, "I'm sorry that I hid something from you."
"It's not too late to say it now."
"Actually, the rogue adventurers I eliminated before also belonged to several large guilds, and they were all from Airui City."
"Huh?" I looked at him: "How did you get this information?"
"Same as you" he smiled without saying anything.
Sure enough, is it also torture?
It seems that our methods are evenly matched.
"It seems that Dashai City is now facing two enemies at the same time, one is Airui City, and the other is York Han City. Among them, Air Ru City's movements are larger, and York Han City's movements are more subtle. However,"
Stough paused and continued: "The intelligence I investigated showed that the purpose of the invasion of Airui City was to seize some minerals, while the purpose of the invasion of York Han City was for a medicinal herb called Purple Heart Grass."
"Have you never heard of purple heart grass?" I asked him.
Stowe frowned and said, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it with my own eyes."
"It is a kind of medicinal material, and it is also a poisonous weed," I said. "It can cure diseases, but it can also become addictive. Once addicted, it is difficult to get rid of it."
Having said this, I remembered the tragic situation of Raphael when he was addicted and fell ill. I was lucky that he had a good friend who also knew medical skills and could be used again. Otherwise, he would have died in the most miserable way.
Well, I wonder how little Betty is living here.
"I don't touch addictive things, except fighting," Stowe said.
"Qualified adventurer" I gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Okay, let's get down to business," I said: "Since you have expected that Ai Rui City and York Han City will be the enemies of Dasay City, what are your plans?"
"I plan to form an alliance with you," Stowe said, "with the New Heroic Guild."
"Well, that's a good idea," I said, "Then, come and convince me and let me know your value, so that I can consider whether to form an alliance with you."
Stowe sat up straight and said seriously: "The Boulder Guild is one of the most well-known large guilds in Dashai City. It is quite famous in the circle. Although it is not as good as the Iron Wolf Guild and the Rose Legion, it still has a place. Now the new bravery Although the guild has the support of the Iron Wolf Guild and the Dwarf Guild, it lacks civilian guilds that can become benchmarks. This makes most guilds afraid to approach you easily, and some even think they can't reach it and are daunted. This is undoubtedly your guild's current situation. The biggest problem we are facing.”
Hit the nail on the head.
As expected of the leader of a well-known large-scale guild, he has already seen through the shortcomings of the new heroic guild.
Yes, as he said, the biggest drawback of the new heroic guild is that it has the support of two major guilds at the same time and its excessive rapid development.
It is true that having the joint support of two major guilds is an enviable gift, and the scale of the guild has also grown by leaps and bounds.
But at the same time, problems also emerged.
Although other guilds intend to make friends, they will always be afraid because they are blocked by these two giant walls. They will subconsciously weigh their own strength. Once they see clearly the gap between them and the two major guilds, they will Unconsciously stay away from the new heroic guild.
This emotion is called inferiority complex, and it is an emotion shared by all humans.
Most of the people who can establish an Adventurer's Guild have a sense of pride that cannot be abandoned, and it is precisely because of this pride that they refuse to succumb to others.
Naturally, they were unwilling to make friends with the New Heroic Guild with a feeling of inferiority.
This is also the reason why, although the New Heroic Guild is developing rapidly, it still seems weak.
"Indeed, as you said, because of the support of the two major guilds and the rapid development, many guilds are intimidated. However, how can you guarantee that the joining of the Boulder Guild will change our current situation?"
"The reason why the Megalithic Guild has not entered the ranks of the top guilds in the Zephyr Continent is precisely because of the low threshold for guilds. My father, who was born as a commoner, established the Megalithic Guild. The main purpose is to attract people who have no money to study in the academy but have good reputations. Talented civilian children, this move has lasted for two generations. Therefore, the Boulder Guild enjoys a very high reputation among the civilians in Dashai City. This is exactly what you lack. As long as the two unite, someone will definitely challenge you. If you publicize this matter, other civilian guilds will follow my example and make friends with your guild."
"Well, you are right, it is possible, but have you thought about the possible negative effects of this approach?"
"I have thought about it," Stowe said: "The outside world will definitely make such a noise after our two guilds unite, saying that the Great Stone Guild is clinging to the New Brave Guild in order to seek financial power. On the surface, the Great Stone Guild and the New Brave Guild have an equal relationship. , but in fact, it is one of the affiliated guilds of the New Heroic Guild."
"So, what are you going to do with this sound?" I asked, holding my chin.
"I choose to ignore it," Stowe said: "The media just want to use public opinion to heat themselves up and take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. There is no need to pay attention to them. Furthermore, isn't the purpose of our alliance to jointly face the war that will be launched in the future? If we continue to If the media can't get over this hurdle, how can we face a more brutal war?"
"That's true." I nodded in agreement: "The media, as long as it becomes outdated or fewer people pay attention to it, will immediately abandon those worthless news. As long as we remain silent and give them a cold shoulder for a few days, they will soon If you lose interest in alliance matters, then you will no longer be able to affect future development."
After that, I stood up, stretched out my hand, and said: "Then, our alliance is concluded. We will sign the alliance contract in a while. When the war comes, we will be allies on the same front."
