Cream folded her arms and sneered: "How is it possible? There must be a big consortium behind these shops. This big consortium must have known what the content of this competition was in advance, so it specially opened the door to the Demonized Steel

When the price is low, import a large amount and stock up. Once it is announced now, it will start to increase the price! Even if a dedicated alchemist is required to refine the magic steel, it will take at least forty-eight hours, so if you make it entirely by yourself

Demonized steel is completely impossible in terms of time."

This result is understandable.

Ai Luo would probably agree with this business idea of ​​using large-scale events to make a lot of money. If he was given a suitable venue and suitable monopoly conditions, he might go even further, but that's not necessarily the case.

.

But now, he is not the one who implements the monopoly, so he can only daydream about such a thing, and then vent his anger by scolding the unscrupulous merchants behind it.

"President, what should we do now? Steal a piece of magic steel?"

Cream looked a little anxious. After all, it was already the afternoon and there were less than twenty-four hours before tomorrow's deadline.

The guilds on the street are still coming and going, looking for them. It can be seen that these guilds are planning to search for those imperial emblems all night long.

Suta raised his head and looked at the slightly dark sky, and said: "President, although I also want to help, it is getting late now, so I want to go back to the hotel to take care of my husband... We are not always here

Are you wandering around the hotel? I'll go back and take care of it, and we'll look for it together again soon."

In response to Suta's request, Airo's eyes rolled around, and suddenly his expression that seemed very relaxed just now became very sad. He took a breath, then sighed loudly, and waved helplessly,

Said: "It's okay! Let's go back together. There is nothing we can do if we keep looking outside. Let's go back and have something to eat before we come out... Sigh..."

Members, you looked at me and I looked at you. For a moment, I was a little confused about what my president wanted to do. But now I had no choice but to walk towards the hotel together.

Returning to the White Whale Hotel, as soon as you enter the door, you can see several guilds who also live in this hotel constantly discussing the guild championship match during the day. The same is true for the requirements of this strange hidden object game.

And felt sad.

Seeing that they were getting excited about chatting, Ai Luo also stepped forward and began to complain about this terrible game. At the same time, he nodded the fish hat on his head and cursed that his sponsor was definitely a fool.

Seeing that Airl was so good at chatting, the other guild members naturally started chatting with him happily. After eating together in the cafeteria, these guild members wiped their mouths, said goodbye to Airl for a while, and then went out again and started to talk.

The darkness in my head began to search. It seemed that I really planned not to stop until I found it.

Seeing that most of the other guilds had left, and only a small number of guilds did not go out but went to the second floor, Ji Lian also seemed a little anxious: "Guild President, why don't we take advantage of it before it gets completely dark?"

Go out and look for it? This situation is really—"

"Chairman Arrow!"

Just when Ai Luo was about to say something, a familiar roar came from the door.

Everyone turned their heads and saw the sponsor of Mermaid Song, Viscount Rich Wald, rushing in from the door with an anxious look. When he saw Arrow, he immediately opened his mouth and opened his mouth.

The hands, as if to express enthusiasm or impatience, hugged her.

Arrow quickly got up from his desk and stumbled behind Brad. The viscount, who was shorter than Arrow, hugged Brad's strong arm, raised his head, and saw Brad

After Ryder smiled at him twice, he immediately let go and bounced back.

"President Arrow! How can you still eat peacefully here? How can you say that!"

Viscount Rich looked around for a moment, then put on a nervous expression and said softly and excitedly——

"Could it be that...you have already found the imperial emblem?"

Ai Luo immediately put on a sad expression and shook his head.

"I'll kill you! Then how can you still be eating here so happily?! I thought you already had a chance to win!"

Seeing Ai Luo's completely helpless look, Viscount Rich immediately became anxious. He slammed the table and said loudly——

"Don't forget, I have invested money in you! Don't tell me that this morning your guild ended up wearing the clothes I made and showing off! And the thing that makes me the most angry is my Siren Queen.

You didn’t even show up?! What the hell are you doing! Let me tell you, if you are eliminated in the first round of this game, I will never agree! I want you to pay for it! Pay for my sponsorship fee!!!"

William rushed over to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Viscount Rich, this seems to be different from the contract signed between us, right?"

"What's different? Isn't my money money? Can my money just be wasted like that?!"

Seeing that Viscount Rich was still looking unyielding, Ai Luo smiled, stepped forward and made a gesture to calm him down temporarily, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Viscount, after all, there are 99 imperial emblems.

Please be patient for a moment. Well... I asked you to help me investigate the matter before. How is your investigation going?"

Viscount Rich rolled his eyes at Ai Luo, snorted twice, and looked annoyed: "Tell you, if it wasn't to win, I wouldn't put so much effort into helping you! I'll give you all the money.

Damn you, you still ask me to do this or that? Which sponsor is so tired, spending money and exerting so much effort?"

Ai Luo quickly bowed to him, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know our Lord Viscount Rich is the best! You are the most noble person in my life! Without your help, we mermaids

What should I do with Zhi Song~~~!”

No matter what, Viscount Rich always felt that there was nothing he could do about the short man in front of him. This guy was obviously a man, but as long as he said a few nice words to him in a nice voice, no matter how much anger and anger he had,

It was as if his dissatisfaction could disappear in an instant. Moreover, it felt really good and useful to have him beg for mercy.

Richie looked at Ai Luo in front of him up and down, and then snorted again: "I'm unlucky! I don't have the eyesight to sponsor a small guild like you."

After complaining, Ruichi then said -

"A few days ago, I went to talk to the bosses of the chambers of commerce that also sponsor guilds according to what you said. All of us have voted for a small guild like yours to advertise, and there is no conflict of interest among us.

, so it makes sense.”

"Just as President Ai Luo said, the first batch of guilds to sign up did indeed get some tokens. That is to say, in November last year, those guilds located in other places signed up for the Guild Championship in advance.

They determined the number of participants. Then in March and April this year, they received some letters one after another. The letters said they were gifts for early registration."

Ai Luo nodded and said, "So what kind of gift is that specifically?"

Viscount Rich put his hands on his hips, hehehe, and said: "What else could it be? One of the bosses took it out and showed it to me. It was an imperial emblem made of demonized steel. Yes, it was in the arena today.

That badge I saw in the movie! Two bosses even wore that badge to attend today’s opening ceremony. I saw with my own eyes that the faces of those bosses changed from excitement at the beginning to when the hidden object competition was announced later.

Kind of frightened!"

Ai Luo smiled: "Sure enough."

Seeing Ai Luo showing such a mysterious smile again, the sponsor boss couldn't help but ask: "What? You have guessed it a long time ago?"

Ai Luo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It can't be said that I have guessed it a long time ago, but it is generally consistent with what I guessed."

"The rules of the Guild Championship are that only guild members who have been in this emerging guild for one full year before registration are eligible to participate in the competition. In other words, one year before the Guild Championship officially started, that is, on November 11 last year

The required guild members have been gathered and registered before March 1st, and there will be no possibility of adding more contestants within one year."

"In previous years' competitions, some small gifts will be given out as rewards to the guilds that have determined their candidates in advance. Although they are usually just small medals or small badges in form. But I think this year's guilds will

The championship game is very important, so will some of the gifts sent out for important games also have some use?"

Having said this, Ai Luo flicked his fingers towards Viscount Rich: "Facts have proved that this is indeed the case."

Suta frowned and thought for a while, then said: "President, so this is what the host said...the reason why there are a total of 99 badges scattered throughout the Blue Bay Empire?"

Ai Luo nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes. I have said repeatedly that this is not a competition, but a commissioned task. All our guilds know that the organizer of this guild championship battle is actually

Since it is something sent by the client, it should be taken with you as a matter of course. I think that many guilds must have received the badge in advance this time, and I am afraid that some of these guilds did not send this imperial badge.

I am afraid that some people consciously or unconsciously advertised to others that they had such an imperial badge before announcing the true rules of this hidden object contest. There are also some, such as those mentioned by Viscount Rich just now
