Arcane Rebirth

The Storm Wolf's suppression of the Iguana Fang some time ago caused their mercenary group to be almost disbanded. Even if they came to seek revenge, it would still be reasonable.

And according to the rules among the mercenaries, as long as there are no large-scale deaths and it does not affect civilians and public facilities in the city, even the city guards and the mercenary guild under the Civil Affairs Council will not bother to interfere with conflicts between the mercenaries!

Speaking of this, we have to explain the power structure and political model of Kelan City, or to be precise, the entire Kelan State, the entire Gilago Continent, and even the entire seven continents of the Star Continent.

After the "Dark Apocalypse" event more than 1,700 years ago, the country and political power of the previous era were destroyed in a terrible earth explosion. Society returned to the disordered primitive clan era and began a long process of re-evolution of civilization.

After experiencing the dark and bloody clan era, tribal era, chiefdom era, city-state era, and federal era, the country and political power of the Star Continent began to re-enter the era of revival that tends to be civilized.

But the revival of civilization takes time. Until now, the Star Continent, which has just transitioned from the federal era, still retains a strong style of the city-state era.

For example, the many city clusters in the seven continents that were rebuilt on the basis of large-scale relics of the old era often have the most powerful local city-state city lord as the core, and a large number of powerful clan leaders, tribal chiefs, professional guild leaders, etc.

Characters form city-state councils to manage these cities and the population centers surrounding them.

However, the city-state parliament is only a tool used to divide interests and adjust conflicts between forces. This political management model will inevitably lead to disharmony between forces due to issues of interests and rights.

Not to mention the large-scale areas with natural geographical divisions between the seven continents, even within the same continent, the same county and province, and even the cities within the same confederation, small-scale conflicts often break out.

A war of interests is fought to the death.

Therefore, in general, the power held by each force is the largest say in city-state politics.

As the smallest unit in city-state politics, a city, whether it is a "city"-level building or a "town"-level building, or even a small village, its management class is actually an integral part of city-state politics in this era.

Small miniature.

Take Coran City as an example. Although Coran City does not have a so-called city lord or king like other cities because of the existence of Coran University, a magical institution with a very special status, it does also have city management institutions such as the Civil Affairs Council.

However, most of the members of the three-level management bodies of the Civil Affairs Assembly, the "Upper House, the Intermediate House, and the Lower House," the so-called "members," are from major families in the Kelan state where Kelan City is located.

, appointed by various professional guilds and other forces.

Needless to say, the members of the "House of Lords", that is, the "Senate", all come from the top powers;

The members of the "Middle House", also known as the "House of Representatives", come from managers of medium-sized forces and surrounding towns and villages;

The members of the "House of Commons", that is, the "House of the People", come from small forces and farmers, small businessmen and prestigious private figures;

Such a complex power structure seems reasonable, but in fact it exists to seek benefits for major forces and institutions. You can imagine how many dark conspiracies, intrigues and exchanges of interests there are. In such a pure profit organization,

Under management, how complete the legal rules and urban security can be expected?

Under such a three-level management organization that pursues interests and rights, some illegal forces and violent gangs will inevitably breed. They either use a street as their territory, or a certain industry as their territory, and they are entrenched in the dark side of the city.

middle.

As long as these "underground forces" do not touch the interests of the upper social structure and do not cause too much trouble in the city, the upper class usually does not bother to pay attention to their existence. As for the rights and lives of civilians... what are they? Who cares?

?

Therefore, in this general environment, it is not surprising that the Kelan City Pharmacists Guild, as a relatively positive organization, colluded with the council members to commit such an unreasonable-sounding thing as kidnapping.

In this general environment, the mercenary guild seems to have its own reasonable "difficulties" and "reasons" for being indifferent to the objects it protects.

First of all, the behavior of the Pharmacists Guild falls within the scope of "legality" in this environment;

Secondly, the Pharmacists Guild only "transferred" a civilian family from the hands of a small mercenary group to its own care to ensure the "safety" of pharmaceutical production. As the "authority" of the pharmaceutical industry in Kelan City,

They have this “right”;

Then, among the mercenary guilds, it is not the president of the mercenary guild. Clark Abigail's family is the only one. Although he is the president, among the vice-presidents who are the leaders of many large mercenary groups,

Under the power, he cannot fully control the entire mercenary guild according to his own wishes;

Finally, the actions of the Pharmacist Guild are in line with the "rules of the game" of Coran City. In this case, it is almost impossible for other managers of the Mercenary Guild to agree to conflict with the Pharmacist Guild for the sake of a civilian.

matter.

So, even if Jialan comes to the door and accuses the mercenary guild of taking money and not doing anything, and failing to protect the Brown family, they can still have a "reasonable" reason:

The potions are still supplied to the Mercenary Guild, and the proceeds are credited to the accounts of the Iguana Fang Mercenary Group and Lamli Pharmacy Workshop as usual, without harming the Mercenary Guild, the Iguana Fang Mercenary Group, and Jialan, the Lime

The interests of the owners of Li Pharmacy Workshop.

As for the Brown family, who asked you to "illegally" produce pharmaceuticals?

The Iguana Fang mercenary group was suppressed by the Storm Wolf mercenary group. This is an all-too-common "industry competition" in the mercenary world. If you can't compete with others, who do you blame?

First, they didn't kill your team members, and second, they didn't stop you from going to the guild to receive the mercenary mission. Your own team members quit the team, causing the team to be unable to complete the mercenary mission. Who did you blame?

If you have the guts, use the method between mercenaries to resolve the conflicts between you. If you don't have the strength, who do you blame?

So, the conclusion drawn from the above is that the reason for the current situation is simply because the fist of the Iguana Fang Mercenary Group is not big enough!

(Old Sao’s Note: Don’t blame me for being too verbose about the background of this plot. After reading some comments, there are various doubts that the plot is unreasonable! Although there are indeed some places that are not so perfect, but aren’t I trying my best to make things right...

The above is just a compensatory explanation for some places in the previous article. I will pay attention to the imperfections in the following article.)

And now, Iguana Fang's fist has become fatter, so naturally it is time to show some strength and intimidate all forces.

Although Casey and Dave were a little eager to give it a try, Jialan did not intend to continue to tolerate the oppression of these forces.

Jialan doesn't think what the other party did was wrong, but you have your "game rules", and mages also have mage's "game rules". Although he is currently only level 0, he can still be regarded as a mage. The dignity of a mage

, are you so provocative?

Perhaps the mercenaries of the Storm Wolf followed the expected route to intercept Iguana Fang and his party who had kidnapped one of their mercenary team leaders. Jialan and the others did not encounter a single Storm Wolf along the way.

Wolf people.

It wasn't until they all reached the door of Storm Wolf's station near Adventure Street that the remaining personnel gathered at the door chatting noticed them. After being stunned for a moment, they pointed at them and shouted.

Dave gave a hideous laugh, dragged his battle ax and charged, directly knocking the low-level mercenaries at the gate into the courtyard. Casey rushed in after him like a gust of wind, while Old Jimmy and Bruno

Their four old mercenaries followed slowly behind.

Jialan walked into the Storm Wolf's camp leisurely and kindly planned to close the heavy wooden door for them, but for some reason, he failed to close it several times.

It stands to reason that for a powerful medium-sized mercenary group like Storm Wolf, which symbolizes the power of a mercenary group, the gate should not be said to be in disrepair and cannot be closed, right?

Jialan felt strange and said "Clang! Bang!" a few times, feeling like something was stuck on the door shaft. When she lowered her head and looked down, she realized that there was an unlucky guy who had been knocked unconscious by Dave, and he happened to be passed out in the door.

At the corner of the door, my head just happened to hit the door axis...

After sweating for a while, Jialan waved his hand, activated the transportation technique, moved the unfortunate guy who was foaming at the mouth aside, and then successfully closed the door.

The group of mercenaries who went after them would not return to their base in a short time if they could not find them. Instead, they would conduct a city-wide search, so they would have plenty of time to deal with the people left behind.

When Zaijialan closed the door and looked back, the six people from Iguana Fang had already fought with about forty or fifty people left behind by Storm Wolf.

Surprisingly, unlike what was expected, among the people left behind by the Storm Wolf, there were actually two Silver-level combatants who were fighting fiercely with Casey and Dave, while the remaining personnel

Then he surrounded the four old mercenaries, seemingly intending to capture them first.

The four old mercenaries stood there calmly, looking at the dozens of people rushing towards them. They were not afraid or nervous at all. Think about it, the old mercenaries have been in the mercenary world for more than 40 years.

In the years, I have never encountered any bloody and dangerous scenes, how could I still be nervous in the face of battle?

Lao Sao: I just woke up and refreshed the page, and immediately a mouthful of old blood sprayed on the screen! Yesterday, I didn’t even get 28 steel coins into my mouth! Today, is that beast throwing 178 steel coins at once? Did you do this on purpose?

!You must have done it on purpose!!!
