Chapter 264 God's Contract, Designated Son-in-Law
Han Jinyou, wearing a mask of pain, shivered, his hands and feet felt cold, and he felt the malice from the whole world.
Perhaps his prayer worked, Yahad turned his gaze to Hugh Grandet, with the coldness in his eyes undisguised.
Hugh Grandet was an eleventh-level wizard. Noticing his actions, he slowly turned his head and calmly met his eyes.
As if trying to see through his thoughts.
However, there was no murderous intent in Yahad's eyes.
So when the officials saw this, they thought that it was because he and Han Jinyou had angered Lin Miao together, so Yahad, who was eager to show off, took his anger out on him.
But Hugh Grandet did not think so.
"Deliberately trying to please? No, that doesn't really fit Yahad's character. Could it be... someone forwarded Lin Miao's words?"
Thinking of this, his gloomy eyes became as sharp as a knife, and he looked around with a sneer.
The officials did not dare to look him in the eye and lowered their heads in despair.
At this time, he looked at Hugh Grandet,
Either you fall in love with each other, or you die.
After a long time, searching in vain, he turned his attention to Lin Miao and his group again.
He had no fear of fear.
Even if the truth is revealed, the most he would do is take off his official hat and return home.
As an eleventh-level mage, it is not so easy for him to die.
Ignoring the game between Yahad and Grandet, Lin Luo and Brighton set up a soundproofing array to discuss the inheritance of the scroll.
Davis on the side couldn't resist the temptation, and came over with a bright smile and joined in the plan.
Although he can only act as a listener on the side, he can still play a role occasionally.
For example...
"Yes, yes, okay! I promise to complete the task..."
Davis nodded seriously, without any objection to the two's orders.
Of course, he didn't dare to object.
"Firstly, the new scroll system must be kept strictly confidential, and scroll production must be controlled by the royal family."
Lin Luo folded his arms and said solemnly, "Therefore, we can no longer share the scroll inheritance with everyone like before."
"Mr. Lin Miao, can I...can I know?"
Davis raised his hand eagerly, his face full of trepidation and anxiety.
He fully understood the value of the new scroll system.
In the future, mastering the new scroll system will be a prerequisite for success.
If he cannot obtain the knowledge passed down from the scrolls, it means that he will miss out on the benefits brought by this type of scroll system.
It would be strange if he wasn't anxious!
"Sorry, this concerns the interests of the Universal Pavilion and we cannot afford to lose anything!"
Lin Luo did not budge and said firmly: "Just let a few trustworthy and important researchers know.
As for the other mages...
Give them some system knowledge and adopt a division of labor system, with each person being responsible for rune carving in different areas.
This will not only reduce their burden of understanding the runes, but also quickly increase their proficiency."
Hearing this, Davis's eyes lost their luster and he revealed an ugly smile.
In fact, he also knew that since Lin Luo’s requirements were so strict, the idea of taking advantage of the bonus seemed a bit unrealistic.
But he just couldn't help but want to give it a try. If he succeeded, he would be rich and famous, and if he failed, there would be no harm either.
Brighton's eyes flickered as he pondered the feasibility of this matter.
The work system of division of labor has greatly reduced the possibility of the scroll system being exposed.
Of course, it would be best if the scroll system could not be leaked.
Looking at Davis, who looked frustrated in life, Lin Luo said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Davis so obsessed with a complete scroll system?
You can also choose those rune magician positions with division of labor."
"Ah? I can do that too?"
Davis couldn't believe it and hesitated, "How much do these positions earn?
If the salary is high, please ask Mr. Lin Miao and Dean Brighton to reserve some positions for my younger generations."
He didn't refuse, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Davis knows very well what it feels like to work for someone else: the pay is low and the work is heavy, which is very uncomfortable.
Brighton and Davis looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
"Huanyu Pavilion" not only controls 30% of the profits, but also possesses a strange magic that can eliminate all relevant information.
Therefore, the initiative and decision-making power are firmly in the hands of Huanyu Pavilion.
It's not that they don't want to reject Lin Luo's proposal,
But they knew that even if they refuted it, it would be useless because the "Lin Miao" in front of them was just a spokesperson who was pushed to the front.
In the eyes of Brighton and his group, the real decision maker is most likely the mysterious twelfth-level peak mage.
"Every word Lin Miao said might be the result of a plan by those mages.
If you can’t resist, you can only join.”
Everyone thought so.
At this moment, Lin Luo interrupted their thoughts.
“No salary.”
"What, no... no salary?" Davis and Brighton asked in shock and disbelief.
Who would work without a salary? Are you kidding me?
Even Zhou Paopi wouldn’t be so stingy!
Before the two of them could come to their senses,
"Yes, not a penny!" Lin Luo said surprisingly and laughed.
then,
Facing their puzzled looks, he changed the subject and said slowly, "Although we don't pay wages, we can provide unlimited scroll-making materials.
Every time you participate in the production of a scroll, you can get one to ten percent of the final profit of the scroll. The specific share will depend on the workload of the part you are responsible for.
certainly,
My only request is that everyone comes empty-handed and can only leave with magic crystals, and cannot embezzle the materials we provide.
I wonder what Dean Brighton and Mr. Davis think?"
"Unlimited supply of materials, and a 1% to 10% profit share?"
"What a loss! What a loss!"
The unlimited supply of materials for making scrolls alone is enough to win the favor of many rune sorcerers.
This is the perfect condition for practicing!
Not to mention, there is a commission after making the scroll.
It's like getting something for nothing!
Although it was not his own money, this "loss" still made Davis very worried.
"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, how could the teachers come up with a plan that would put me at a disadvantage?"
Lin Luo explained with a smile: “Although the scroll materials are in unlimited supply, each piece of material will be recorded in the book.
When the finished product is recorded, the completed scrolls and collected materials will become the reference standard for everyone's salary."
At this point, the two of them suddenly realized.
Indeed, materials are in unlimited supply and you can get paid if you successfully produce something.
But if it doesn't work...
hey-hey,
Then I'm sorry, not only do you have no money, you also have to pay compensation!
Brighton widened his eyes, thinking that Lin Luo's predecessors were all business geniuses.
During the entire scroll-making process, the only thing the Aklan Empire needs to do is to provide some knowledge of the scroll system and the required materials.
The result is that the Aklan Empire and the hired mages each get what they need, and the rune sorcerers' work motivation is enhanced and their enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.
Although there will be punishment if you fail,
But in the long run, what does one or two failures matter compared to the benefits gained from success?
All rune magicians will be eager to take this job.
Even traditional mages would scramble for this position.
It's a magician's dream position!
In this way, the efficiency of scroll production will be greatly improved!
"Of course, for those rune sorcerers with low yield rates, the teachers also have solutions."
Lin Luo briefly "recalled" and slowly said, "When selecting staff, an assessment will be conducted, and those with too low achievements will be eliminated directly.
In this way, the probability of scrapping can be reduced to a great extent.
Then, you sign a divine contract and become a temporary employee."
Hearing this, the two nodded in agreement.
It is necessary to eliminate some untalented people to avoid waste.
However, their minds were drawn to another word in Lin Luo's words.
"God's Contract?"
The two of them looked at Lin Luo with burning eyes and anticipation.
This kind of contract has never appeared in the Star-Moon Continent, and it actually directly uses the word "God".
You know, once the word "God" is used, in addition to those superficial things, it generally refers to something very precious and rare.
Therefore, the two were very interested in "The Contract of God".
"You two shouldn't react so strongly, right?"
Lin Luo looked at the strong anticipation on the two people's faces and found it funny.
He took out a scroll and explained, "The God's Contract of our Universe Pavilion is very similar to the Integrity Contract.
Of the two parties in a contract, one is the host and the other is the guest.
The "master" is the employer and the "guest" is the employee. If the "guest" violates the terms of the contract, the collateral will be forcibly collected."
Brighton was so shocked that he pulled out a small tuft of his beard.
He had thought that the effect of the God's Contract of the Universe Pavilion would be similar to that of the Integrity Contract, which was enough to shock him, but he didn't expect that it could even forcibly collect the "collateral"?
What is a good faith contract?
That is a contract system supported by gods!
The forced collection of “collateral” also requires divine intervention!
But if the God's Contract that the Universe Pavilion casually took out can have the same effect, doesn't it mean that there are also gods supporting the Universe Pavilion?
hiss……
Brighton and Davis gasped, and then looked at each other in horror.
"Let's see if the scroll is real or fake first. If it's fake, forget it, but if it's real... I'm afraid the Huanyu Pavilion is quite powerful!"
"Indeed, if it is true, I would advise the king to accept this son-in-law first, even if it means death!"
…
Hugh Grandet was exchanging glances with Ahad.
Although he could not defeat Yahad, he was more than capable of protecting himself.
Moreover, Yahad was just an idle prince. In terms of power alone, he was even inferior to finance ministers like Han Jinyou.
Therefore, he had no fear.
'What can you do to me?'
Hugh Grandet looked calm, but in his heart he was secretly laughing at Lin Miao, Yahad and others for overestimating their own abilities.
The struggle in the court cannot be influenced by a powerless prince and a "arrogant young man" from an unknown force.
Unless old Arthur is willing to overthrow the entire Ackland court and rebuild it, Hugh Grandet's influence will always be at the top of all officials.
But is this possible?
Absolutely not!
It won't be long before the orcs will invade the human race in large numbers.
Whether it is to stabilize the internal situation of the kingdom or to ensure peace in the backyard, Hugh Grandet, Han Jinyou and others cannot die at this critical moment.
Ahad seemed to see a hint of mockery in Hugh Grandet's eyes, which was extremely ironic.
The veins on his forehead were bulging, the muscles in his thick arms were bulging, and a cold murderous intent was about to emerge.
But at this moment, a gloved hand rested on his shoulder.
"Mr. Yahad, let's discuss the scroll transaction first. Other small matters can be put aside."
Lin Luo passed through the soundproof magic circle, and the thick fog on his face turned into a strange smile. He said the other party's name and continued, "Besides, Mr. Hugh Grandet is also thinking about your Aklan Empire.
Everyone should do their job and serve their master.
I don’t blame him.”
The words "for the Aklan Empire" in his words were a bit heavy, which made Yahad frown.
However, the victim has already said that he doesn't mind, so it doesn't make sense if he continues to hold on to him.
Yahad opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Brighton, who was standing by, was afraid that he would alert the enemy, so he secretly said, "My Lord, Hugh Grandet is not Han Jinyou, he has many unknown cards.
What if Mr. Lin Miao gets hurt...
The impact of this incident was extremely bad.
Therefore, I suggest that we first ask for the king's assistance, and then make further plans."
He has a thorough understanding of the current situation and made rational suggestions.
Hugh Grandet was limited by his talent and his level had been stuck at 105, with no progress for a thousand years.
But this gave Hugh Grandet ample reason to specialize in the physical body.
Therefore, no one knows the true strength of an eleventh-level mage who has specialized in the physical body for thousands of years. At least there is no such person in the Star-Moon Continent.
But what is certain is that
Once the fight breaks out, these researchers will be like dumplings with large fillings and thin skins, and will definitely be easily defeated!
If an eleventh-level mage is in such a state, then Lin Miao, who is only at the tenth level, must be even more difficult to resist.
By then, it is not impossible that the frightened Lin Miao would order another "Twelfth Order" scroll to add to the fun.
"unlucky!"
Yahad's face was full of indignation, but he finally put the long sword into the space ring.
He retracted his cold gaze and looked at Lin Luo with a smile, without any dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Although the other party's words seemed to be defending Hugh Grandet,
However, don’t forget that Lin Luo is the man who calmly pointed out Hugh Grandet’s countless crimes.
In this way, the true meaning of these words becomes intriguing.
Hugh Grandet narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Luo with an ambiguous expression, his face full of frost.
Praise him for doing his job well?
Isn't this a subtle criticism of him taking advantage of his position as the finance secretary of the Aklan Kingdom to seek personal gain?
Oh,
I really want to tear this kid's mouth apart!
Even though he was filled with rage, he was not a fool and he concealed his murderous intent very well, revealing only a hint of anger.
“Prince Yahad, although you are of noble status, you cannot interfere in politics at will.
This conversation was a meeting between us on behalf of the Aklan Empire and Mr. Lin Miao.
Please leave this place temporarily, Your Excellency. Otherwise, if you delay the king's important affairs, what will be your punishment?"
