I really can't control myself

"I said uncle, are you possessed by evil spirits? Why do you have to do construction work in Torgart City? Is there anything special about that place?" Gaseon said speechlessly, yes Linton is here again They are causing trouble for him. The trouble this time is the problem of the teleportation array.

Linton had already done a lot of things that he couldn't understand before, such as strange things like an alchemy material store, but Garsain reluctantly tolerated it. After all, it was also in the name of building a territory, but this It was different this time. What Linton requested was a teleportation array, and the biggest problem with this thing was its high cost.

The first is the construction cost. Only mages of a certain level can set up the teleportation array, which costs a lot of people and materials. The Mages Association is also a monopoly industry, and the fees are surprisingly high. Not to mention the maintenance costs in the later period. After all, the teleportation array is driven by magic power, and the magic crystals will need to be replaced after a while. In short, it is ridiculously expensive. Of course, there is a fee for using the teleportation array, but if the fee is not worth the maintenance fee, it will be a big loss.

Torgart City is obviously not suitable for building a teleportation array. Not many people here know how to use teleportation arrays, so it is obviously a loss-making business. I don’t know what evil got Linton into insisting on building a teleportation array there. Of course, Garsain doesn't understand the teleportation array.

Of course, Linton couldn't explain it. He had basically done everything else now, only the teleportation array and some special gift shop were left. That store should be easy to get, but it was the teleportation array, and it was not easy to hire a mage to build it. If you put it on the schedule, you may not be able to make it in time.

"I think this city of Torgart is a city with great potential. You see, the commercial development there is pretty good. Wouldn't it be better to build a teleportation array?" Linton said, spreading his hands.

"Even if the people over there want to use the teleportation array, Torgart City is less than half a day's journey from Moon Lake City. Wouldn't it be enough to just come here and use the teleportation array in Moon Lake City?" Gaseon said.

Garsain also said that it was really true, and Linton thought so too, but the problem was that the mission required a teleportation array, so what should we do? If I had known earlier, I would have found a city far away from the nearest teleportation point, which would have been more convenient when making requests, but I didn't know that at that time.

"I don't care, I just want to build a teleportation array anyway." Linton couldn't explain himself, so Linton immediately started cheating.

"No money!" Gasain said directly, "I just took over the territory, and I haven't even collected the first tax. Now we need a lot of funds. Where can I get the money for you to do whatever you want?"

"Didn't you confiscate the Wren's house? Is he so poor for a duke?" Linton asked.

"To be honest, I'm a little surprised. The property stolen from the Rennes family is really quite small, but according to some people I've heard from, Duke Rennes should have accumulated a lot of money in the past few years. , is it hidden?" Gaseon said.

"Hide it?" Linton suddenly thought of something. There seemed to be a guy who was in trouble with Renn before. He said he knew about the Renn family's treasures. However, he didn't say what it was, so Linton regarded him as someone who knew the treasures of the Renn family. The materials for the dirty soil reincarnation were used. Could this be a real treasure? But now that this guy has died a long time ago, Renn is also cold, and he can't ask if he wants to. At that time, Linton really didn't expect that he would encounter financial problems.

"Well, you tell me who has more money, and I'll go rob them." Linton said.

"I have never heard of a saint-level person going to rob. You are a saint-level, okay? If you don't think it's embarrassing, I still think it's embarrassing." Garsain held up his forehead.

"Then how do ordinary saints make money?" Linton asked, "I can't just get a title without any benefits, right?"

"Saint-level people don't need to make money at all, okay? Do you have any misunderstandings about the holy-level people?" Gasein held up his forehead.

"How can I live without making money? Will someone give me money when I lie in bed?" Linton said.

"What you said is indeed correct." Gaseon said, "Generally, saints are supported by the state. I think if you insist on building a teleportation array, it might be a good idea to ask His Majesty the Emperor."

"It turns out that you can really make money while lying in bed..." Linton nodded, "But if the emperor insists on asking me why I want to build a teleportation array in Torgart City, how can I explain it."

"Who are you asking me about? I also want to ask you why you insist on building a teleportation array, okay?" Garsain shouted.

"Dong dong dong..." While the two were still discussing, there was a knock on the door. Garsain nodded to the servant next to him, and soon the door opened, and Melissa and Yalan appeared at the door of the room.

Yes, after yesterday's dinner, Linton had temporarily agreed to Melissa's request, but he also said that he still had some things to finish first and could not go to the Holy See with her for the time being. Melissa was very generous and promised to wait for Linton to finish the matter, so she stayed here temporarily, and Princess Yalan also expressed that she would stay here for a few days. The two were already best friends, so it was natural for them to act together. Yalan could also inquire about Melissa's situation.

"Excuse me, two adults." Melissa here saluted first and then said. Linton is not very familiar with Melissa, but from the current point of view, she is a person who looks quite old-fashioned at least on the surface. Everything she says and does is very "formal", such as etiquette, any etiquette. Everything was done step by step with precision, which seemed strange to others. It is true that you need to pay attention to etiquette, but this is how ordinary nobles behave in public. If you act solemnly in a private meeting like this, everyone will think you are weird.

Of course, the other party saluted, so Garsain had to give her a gift in return. Linton didn't need it. After all, with saint-level privileges, other than seeing the emperor nod, he didn't have to lower his status to care about them.

"Sorry, I just heard the conversation between the two of you in the corridor. I didn't mean to hear it," Melissa said.

"We were talking too loudly," Garsain said.

"If Mr. Linton has this problem, I can help you solve it." Melissa said.

"Really?" Linton asked.

"The Holy See can also build a teleportation array. If you really need it, I can contact you. As for the cost, I don't know how to thank you for your help. I can help you deal with trivial matters." Mei Lisa said.

"It's all-inclusive and you still have to pay out of pocket? Is that so cool?" Linton said.

"But I also have some questions. Why do you have to build a teleportation array in Torgart City?" Melissa asked.

"As a benefactor, I just can't bear to see the suffering of the people." Linton said, "I went to Torgart City last time and found that many people there had difficulty traveling. I thought someone must step forward to help. They have to deal with it practically. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, so I took over the matter without any hesitation."

What Linton said was complete nonsense. Princess Yalan next to her rolled her eyes. Could you make it up better? But Melissa didn't seem to hear it at all, and nodded with a smile: "So, Lord Linton is really a kind person. Not only did he agree to my request when we met for the first time, but he was also keen to help ordinary people solve practical problems. The problem is different from the saint-level ones I have seen."

"Anyway, you agreed to help with this matter?" Linton asked.

"Please leave it to me." Melissa nodded.

"Then please complete it as soon as possible, preferably... within 11 days." Linton said, after all, there are still 11 days left in the task time limit.

"11 days?" Melissa looked at Linton a little strangely, but nodded, "I understand, I will arrange it for you immediately. There is one more thing, you promised to be my guard knight, I have already I reported it to the church. I just received a notice from the church. I don’t need to go back to the church for the time being. There happens to be a trial mission nearby. The church will officially send the information later. Please help me when the time comes."

Last night, Melissa briefly explained the content of the selection of the church’s top priest. The selection period is actually quite long and lasts until the end of the year. The church will make the final evaluation based on the candidate’s performance during this period. . To put it simply, it is to find some church tasks. After completing them, you will naturally contribute. At the end of the year, you will go back to attend the church’s top meeting. At that time, the candidates will each report their results, and then the church’s senior leaders will choose a successor.

Of course, Linton also knew that this was just a formality, but after all, this formality had to go. Melissa also came to Linton to help him deal with these more troublesome church tasks, which really required the help of the Knights. Of course, in Linton's opinion, it is estimated that these tasks are also specially issued by the church, and they should also be used to observe themselves.

"I know, that's the best." Linton of course agreed directly, "Anyway, I still have to deal with my own affairs first. When the things here are finished, I will help you solve the task immediately."

"Then please, sir." Melissa said.

The two sides chatted for a while, but Melissa made Garsain feel restrained, and her presence felt a little uncomfortable. But soon, Melissa didn't know if she sensed the atmosphere, so she left early. Of course Princess Yalan stayed here, and she obviously had something to talk to Linton about.

"Have you heard anything?" Linton asked.

"Judging from the current situation, she still seems to have some doubts about your ability to improve your strength so quickly." Princess Yalan said, "In her words, she asked about your master."

"Master..." Linton touched his chin, "Then since the other party asks, I will make up a master for her first and see how she reacts."
