"What about the once-a-year mission?" Attila looked through the contract and asked without raising her head as she looked through the pages of the contract that Tianlan had sent through the tourist system.

Fang Yu was very embarrassed: "I still have to help make the magic device."

Away from the huge sound source of the differential engine gears, the team came to the other side of the Adventurer's Guild Hall, which seemed quite quiet. After congratulating Luo Yu and Jita, Attila began to check the contract with the help of Tianlan.

.

Fang Plover knew that he had a guilty conscience and followed Miss Elf like a quail.

"Making a magic weapon?"

"Deduction of rental fees"

"Lease?"

"This kind of lease relationship is very common between guilds, sister Aitila," Tian Lan interrupted, but asked curiously: "What is the period of the lease, what is the affiliation, brother Ed, you are not here

Are you being stupid?"

Fang Yu shook his head. Although he suffered a frustrating loss, there was still no problem in the general direction. After all, the most important issue in the lease relationship was the issue between the two of them, and he himself understood this.

Since Yugudora specifically assured him in this regard, and there were special clauses in the contract to restrict and specify it, Luo Yu and Jita were actually regarded as members of the adventure group when they were in the adventure group, and their guild status was only a potential identity.

It's just that Fang Yu knew that the way the 'grey lady' proposed such a deal was not to allow him to take advantage, but to allow the adventure group to connect with Tapolis.

This is also what Hongye told him when he was in Dolifen.

This kind of alliance between you and me forced him to consider favoring Tapolis at some points. As Yugudora said, the Oak Knights are Ji Ta and Luo Yu's 'natal family' after all.

Only then did he understand that the other party meant this.

No one would be happy after suffering a hidden loss. Fang Plover naturally became upset after he understood this. In fact, he was not vigilant, but he also understood that this was actually the reason why he could not take the lead in the negotiation. After all, he and himself

The adventure group is not strong enough and lacks bargaining cards.

As for the fate of Luo Yu and Jita, the final decision is still in the hands of the other party. Fang Yu naturally understands the relationship between trainees and the guild.

"sorry."

Fang Yu whispered an apology to the others, and his face felt a little hot. He had suffered a lot along the way. Miss Scarpet played a good trick on him at the beginning, including food and accommodation. But

It was different then. Today, he is the leader of a team. Now he is not only responsible for himself, but also for other people's decisions.

"It's okay," Tianlan waved her hands carelessly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. We can still think of some ways to deal with this contract."

Before she could finish her words, Miss Elf glared at her and glared back at the second half of her sentence. Tianlan was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and could only wink at Fang Plover to show that she had tried her best.

Aitila glanced at Fang Yu and then said: "There is no need to apologize. After all, we all hope that Jita and Luo Yu can stay. But the next time you make a decision, remember not to be so hasty."

Fang Yu nodded, he already understood this deeply. Miss Etila, Tianlan and Sylvide must remember to bring any one of them with them the next time they negotiate.

Probably after successfully bargaining with Miss Sophie during the Dragon Trial, I felt a little too inflated. Now that I think about it, Miss Sophie is really an upright and good person.

And he himself is not this material at all.

He also knew why Miss Attila was suddenly very serious. Perhaps it was because she thought of Kidd. They might be really similar, with exactly the same recklessness, just as his cousin said of him, a savage.

He sighed and just remembered Miss Ship Officer. These matters should have been handled by the other party. He turned around and saw Sylvide standing aside, only tilting her head and smiling at him.

Those talking eyes seemed to indicate that he didn't mind.

But that's weird

Fang Yu had gradually become familiar with the temperament of this noble lady. When she said she didn't mind, she was probably very concerned about it and was ready to have a cold war with him.

He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

In comparison, others are much more straightforward.

'Ms. Papamo' complained in a low voice about the other party's cunningness, which made Luo Yu and Jita very embarrassed for a while, but was immediately scolded by Aitila and Tianlan, and from then on she acted like an ostrich and did not dare to speak again.

On the other hand, Xiang Xiang looked like the same old man. He opened his mouth just to seek justice for the captain, as if he was afraid that Fang Pliance would not be embarrassed enough, so he was persuaded by others to persuade him to stop, thus saving the latter's last bit of dignity as the captain.

And Etila both rolled their eyes, and then continued to ask other questions: "Whose materials are used to make the magic weapon, and what are the requirements?"

"Of course they came up with the materials. Where did we get the materials?" Fang Pliong replied matter-of-factly.

He seemed a little helpless: "The requirements are not high, only twenty pieces per quarter..."

In Yugudola's opinion, twenty pieces of A-grade quality or above in a quarter are considered to be "extremely many". However, Tian Lan let out a soft "Eh" when she heard this.

"It's strange," she whispered: "The other party seems to be merciful. If I were the 'Gray Lady', I would definitely deceive the idiot Brother Ed as the one who was taken advantage of."

Fang Piao glared at the little girl angrily, who was being taken advantage of?

"Of course we have to pay for the materials," he replied angrily.

"Nonsense," Tianlan rolled her eyes helplessly: "Brother Ed, please don't treat me as a fool, okay? Of course I know, but do you know that materials are materials and market prices are market prices, and these are two different things, okay?

"

She came from a top wealthy family like Twelve Color Iris, so she was naturally familiar with these things. She raised her fingers and calculated to him: "They want you to make a magic device, and accordingly they have to provide a complete list of materials."

Right? There’s no stipulation on the loss rate, right?”

"I'm not an alchemist and I know that any life-career production has losses. If this is not mentioned specifically, it is usually half the default standard loss. But the standard here is the standard in commercial production and is for calculating commissions.

Formulated based on the party’s approximate profit margin.”

"This is just one of them. How can a complete list of materials for a magic weapon be so easy to obtain? Sometimes it involves hundreds of materials, some are common, some are rare, some are in large quantities, and some are in small quantities.

Collecting and storing materials requires a turnover of manpower and material resources, which will save us an unknown amount of time."

"Generally speaking, it is very rare for the client to promise to provide materials. To put it simply, brother Ed has seen a few buyers who find manufacturers to produce products and still need to provide materials themselves?"

Fang Yu opened his mouth and realized that he had made a proposal that seemed strange to the other party. What was even weirder was that the other party actually agreed. He thought for a moment and then found the reason: "But our level is like this, they

If you don’t provide the materials, why don’t you wait until the end of the year of the monkey?”

"Brother Ed, you are really being sold and you still have to help count the money," Tianlan sighed very cutely: "Of course they can afford to wait. They have signed long-term alliance team agreements with us, so they can't afford to wait.

At this time?"

Fang Yu was stunned. He only thought that Tapolis was about to attack the second-tier guilds, and he used this to bargain with the other party, but he did not expect this level. It seems that this is exactly what Tapolis did to Luo Yu and Jita.

The method makes it clear that this will be a long-term cooperation, so how can the other party be in a hurry?

"But what's their reason for doing this?"

"Of course the reason is to show your kindness."

"court?"

Fang Yu was stunned. The other party was playing him around. He really couldn't see the reason why the 'grey lady' was showing favor to him.

Tianlan couldn't laugh or cry: "My idiot brother Ed, that 'grey lady' really flirted with the blind man this time. She just wanted to use this method to keep you. This is a discount for you, but

In fact, it is a means of cultivating you."

Sylvester on the side also covered her mouth and smiled softly, and then replied: "Mr. Captain, you should know that craftsmen grow up through the accumulation of practical experience and knowledge. Why do truly talented craftsmen often come from the craftsmen's association and the craftsmen's association?"

Among some larger forces? This is because the growth process of an alchemist often requires a huge amount of resources."

"That 'Miss' wants to use this method to allow you to actually be funded by Tapolis and become a top alchemist or combat craftsman trained by Tapolis. A straight-forward approach like Miss Hongye is a way to attract people.

It’s a way, but this silent way of moisturizing things is also a means.”

Her tone was very soft, as gentle and pleasant as ever, but when she talked about the 'Miss', Fang Yu clearly felt that she had aggravated her tone, and when she talked about 'means', she had a sly look in her eyes and a smile.

It's about to overflow.

Come on, Fang Plover certainly wouldn't think that this was Sylvide's show of goodwill towards him. He quickly nodded like a quail to show his agreement with the other party's statement.

It seems that he has an extremely strong desire to survive.

"Then what should we do?" Finally he couldn't help but ask: "Let's just reject them and find the materials ourselves. Of course we have to pay more. Ten pieces of equipment in a quarter doesn't seem to be a big deal for us.

"

"Of course not."

The three opposing voices came from three women, one big and one big.

"Brother Ed, are you a fool?" This is Tianlan.

"Not only that, the captain also has to ask the other party for some good and rare materials. After all, you get what you pay for." Sylvide still calmly explained to her captain.

Attila finally made the conclusion: "Tianlan and Sylvide are right. As long as we understand this, we don't actually owe Tapolis anything. We are allies, and alliances naturally have mutual benefits and equal exchanges.

"

Fang Yu just looked at these three 'wise' ladies speechlessly.

Suddenly, I had the idea of ​​whether I was really a brainless barbarian.

However, the group of people had already walked to the other side of the Adventurers General Guild and met with Tapolis' team in Grande who was waiting there. Although the two parties had already exchanged contracts, they still had to exchange a physical document.

Although there is no need to be in such a hurry when exchanging documents, the two parties were not far apart, so they agreed to meet here. There, Fang Plover and others also met the famous leader of the team for the first time.

'The Gray Lady', Miss Eugudora.

She is a bit petite in person than what she saw in the video, especially since this businessman and part-time swordsman drags a sword as tall as her body behind her. In contrast, she looks even more like a little girl.

She was actually a head shorter than Fang Plover. When she saw Fang Plover, she extended her hand to him very generously: "I'm sorry, I just used some small tricks in the transaction. Mr. Ed should be very concerned about it, right?"
