A Proposal in the Shadows

"Mana Telecommunications System?!"

When Kiran talked about this system, Oliver only felt a little funny.

"Why are you bringing this up? I have no intention of distributing the benefits to others unless necessary, let alone you."

He said this without politeness, but Kiran's smile remained. He looked at Oliver leaning on the back of the chair and said slowly:

"Master Oliver, I know what you are thinking, why should I give this benefit to a guy who suddenly comes to your door."

"This guy is actually a member of another family, which makes me feel even more disgusting..."

Oliver watched Kiran speak. After waiting for two seconds, he immediately said impatiently:

"Then since you know, why don't you leave immediately? In other words, why did you walk in?"

He is now a little tired of Kiran, because the information mentioned by Kiran is something that must not be touched within the family now.

Strictly speaking, this project still belongs to the master 'Lai', because the approval documents of the Alliance and the specific application technology of magic elements are all in the hands of the master 'Lai'.

They just make terminals and provide interfaces to earn money, and they are not irreplaceable.

Many family members of the host family noticed the future of this project and boldly wanted to take it into their arms.

However, he was immediately stopped by the head of the main family, who made it clear that no one could reach out, not even Oliver, and it would be very difficult to transport the proceeds out.

Because this income must be saved according to the master's order and cannot be used privately.

The perspective returns to the present. After hearing that Kiran wanted to test Mana Communication System, Oliver wanted to drive him away on the spot because this matter was really difficult to discuss.

"Don't worry, Oliver, I am self-aware and know that you Felistin have no shortage of resources and channels. You may even be promoting on other Floating City."

"But I came here this time to give us a chance, a chance for us to take off, and an opportunity for our family."

Kiran turned the chair on the side, then stopped being pretentious and said slowly:

"In about five months, it will be the Alliance, the Champion Mage competition held every four years, Main Tournament."

"I think you also know that our Burns family has been responsible for the construction of the entire venue since this kind of main event thirty years ago. Now, we are responsible for all duel venues."

"I know that. You don't need to repeat the history of the Burns Family's fortune. I'm not interested in it."

Oliver interrupted Kiran, with no trace of movement on his face.

"No, no, Oliver, this Champion Mage Challenge's Main Tournament is your chance..."

"After seeing your Mana Telecommunications System, I consulted many mages who had worked on that project before, and they all gave me a positive answer."

"That's because magic elements can transmit images, but the cost is too high and they couldn't do it before."

Oliver stopped, as if he knew what Kiran was going to say next.

"What do you want to do?"

"Master Oliver, don't you think Champion Mage Challenge's master Duel Arena is too crowded?"

"Even if it has built fourteen cities, plus those special viewing seats that can fly into the sky, can it only accommodate a total of 230,000 people watching at the same time?"

"And every year, this ticket has to be sold to more than three times the original price before you can buy it. Don't you think this is unreasonable?"

Kiran paused for a moment, and then stated his request.

"I would like to invite you and the current Mana Communication System team to come to Number Three Floating City and participate in the construction of a new Mana Telecommunications System."

"The requirement is to provide more than 100,000 copies of the terminal and distribute it everywhere in Number Three Floating City. Of course, if there is more production, we can also sell it at your price."

"This newly established Mana Telecommunications System no longer requires your kind of contact system, but can only broadcast the picture in real time when Champion Mage Challenge Main Tournament."

"I think if this thing can really be done, the Alliance will promote your Mana Telecommunications System as the main civilian system of the Alliance in the future."

"And because we have accomplished this, we have received further recognition from the Alliance."

"The Alliance may not be happy with us, but when we really make achievements, he will still reward us regardless of past grudges."

Oliver rubbed the armrest, turned his eyes away from Kiran, and finally said something.

"I will talk to the owner and seek advice from the project side."

Of course Kiran knows that Oliver cannot actually decide this proposal, but Oliver is one of the few candidates he can contact, and Oliver is also the only one who can listen to what he has to say and has the ability to influence things.

If Kiran casually told a passerby of the Felistin Family about this matter, he estimated that the passerby would not have any good means to inform this transaction.

"Then I'll just wait for the good news..."

Kiran stood up and seemed to want to say goodbye to Oliver.

"By the way, there is one thing I want to remind you. It is best to give me a reply one month before the end of Champion Mage Preliminary Tournament. That is the deadline for the Burns Family to provide Main Tournament venue settings to Number Three Floating City."

"If you miss this deadline, we will not be able to let your set of Mana Telecommunications System appear on this stage no matter what."

After Kiran left, Oliver sighed deeply, and then ordered the servant outside the door:

"Call Camilla, I have something important to talk to him about... By the way, go to the communications office to help me make an appointment with the head of the family. I have something important to talk about."

There are not only mages on Number Nine Floating City. Mages are a privileged class here. If there are all mages, then who will serve this privileged class.

The other half of Block that Alchemy School can't nominally control is probably the northwest direction on Number Nine Floating City.

The environment here is much worse than the neat buildings and streets that were taken care of every day by Fran that we saw in Ashgold Path and Mercury Avenue.

But it's not that bad. At least it's not like the messy scenes Fran saw in unknown towns outside City of Apprentices. Basic hygiene here can still be guaranteed.

The Master also does not want places similar to ground slums to appear in Floating City, where land is at a premium, so he specifically stipulates that the sanitary conditions and houses here must not be built illegally.

Just outside the regulations, this place can show its brutality. There are countless houses stacked on top of each other, some with the third floor bigger than the first floor, and the balconies almost extend to the edge of the road.

The alleys are difficult to navigate here, because of the disordered walls, people can almost only pass sideways in the dark alleys, and half of the alleys can hardly see sunlight all year round.

Caleb stroked the wall of the alley with his thick hands, his frown never loosening.

"If I hadn't found reliable information for Lynn, I would never have come here." He thought to himself.

However, this somewhat uncomfortable way of walking did not last long. Soon he came to an old light green door. He groped on the right side of the wooden door and soon found a depression that he could push into.

After he pushed in, a trail emerged on the left side of the wooden door, and the wall there seemed to be pulled away by something.

The trail looks very narrow, but compared to the poor traffic conditions in the alley, this is nothing.

Caleb walked down and saw a gate made of iron at the end of the trail. Even the side of the iron gate seemed to be made of rare building materials. It looked indestructible and extremely difficult to break through.

"Who are you?" A voice came from the iron gate, which was blocked by a barrier, making the voice sound a bit muffled.

Caleb directly showed off the mage robe and the Sword Chant School logo that he knew the other party could see.

"Mage, the code I got is Gray Forest Sparrow."

The iron door paused for a moment, and then there was a click.

"It's really strange that he is actually a mage. Come in, what do you need me, a sewer rat, to do?"

Caleb directly made his request to the other party before entering.

"I would like to ask you to arrange for a few apprentices from the academy to track down a mage..."

The person in front of Caleb at this time is a Second Order Profession User. I don't know the specific Profession, I only know that he is a thief.

In this Floating City, this Second Order Profession User is like a duck in water, often helping people with some shameful but not overly stimulating commissions from the Floating City authorities.

Although he is a second-level thief, the business he can do rarely relies on Profession's own abilities, because the Floating City authorities will not allow him to use it.

So he could only let those students of magic School, some apprentices who were short of money, do some work of tracking and transmitting information.

It's unbelievable to say that this business alone can bring him a reward that far exceeds that of his colleagues Order on the ground.

The reason was that the mages were generous and his expertise as a thief made him willing to stay here even though his hands were tied.

"It's the mage who has been shining brightly on Champion Mage Preliminary Tournament recently. She has won fourteen consecutive games. If she wins again this afternoon, it will be her fifteenth consecutive victory."

"If you have more information about her, and it's not the kind of information that seems fake at first glance, I can buy a copy..."

When this second-level thief faced Caleb, he just spread his hands and refused directly.

"Sorry, it seems I can't do your business anymore?"

Caleb's brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Why, shouldn't someone like this famous Magic Duel person have been asking for her specific information for a long time? Why is there nothing?"

Just like Lynn's father, Lynn's father only completed eleven consecutive victories and had not broken the record at that time. He was already followed by more than a dozen apprentices every day. Half of the mages in Duel Arena knew what fighting methods were.

Even though the time it took for Fran to achieve fourteen consecutive victories was much shorter, we could always get some information. Why is it like now, with information flying all over the sky that doesn't sound true?

The second-level thief raised his lips and explained to the mage Caleb:

"I originally wanted to collect some information, but when I sent my apprentice to follow her, she walked into Mage Tower..."

Caleb's face looked very ugly, but the thief's face had a bigger smile.

"That's Mage Tower from Floating City. It would be life-threatening to track her down, so you know why there is no information about her on the market, right?"
