Chapter 1210: Chapter 1178: Turmoil at the Magic Guild Teleportation Array
Robinson is a vice chairman of the Mage Guild in Jialan Imperial Capital, possessing Tier Eight (Lv80) Saint Level strength.
Normally, the Mage Guild’s operations are handled by some stewards.
Robinson, as vice chairman, rarely appears in the public eye.
Only when issues arise that the stewards can’t resolve does he intervene.
But such situations are hard to encounter.
After all, the Mage Guild is the largest force on the Nine Nether Continent apart from the church, something even the Three Great Empires dare not provoke.
Anyone daring to cause trouble in the Mage Guild probably hasn’t been born yet.
Normally speaking.
The president of the Mage Guild is a figure as elusive as a legendary dragon.
Which means Robinson, as vice chairman, is practically the guild’s highest decision-maker.
However, Robinson is currently quite troubled, even a bit like cursing.
Originally, the Mage Guild mostly provided level certification for mages and issued tasks in special venues for mages.
Due to the scarcity of mages in the Nine Nether Continent, the Mage Guild is usually very quiet.
But with the sudden boom of the [Demon Forest], the news that ’Outland beings’ could yield magic equipment in a single night swiftly spread to every corner of the continent.
Jialan Imperial Capital was no exception.
The significance of magic equipment in Nine Nether Continent needs no explanation.
Initially, everyone was skeptical about this news.
Yet, the rare magic equipment, which was usually hard to find, suddenly appeared in the market in great quantities.
Its authenticity was instantly verified.
Countless people went wild over this news, causing a surge of mercenaries to head towards the Demon Forest across the entire Nine Nether Continent.
Those in Jialan Imperial Capital wanting to get to the Demon Forest immediately, what’s the fastest way?
Of course, it’s using the Mage Guild’s Teleportation Array!
So, in an instant, countless people flocked to this ancient building of the Mage Guild.
Everyone wanted to use the [Magic Teleportation Array] first to reach the city closest to the Demon Forest, joining the frenzy to hunt ’Outland beings’.
However, unlike Rafam Continent, Nine Nether’s main cities don’t all have teleportation arrays for players to use.
The [Magic Teleportation Array] is extremely rare and valuable in the Nine Nether Continent.
Also, not every city in Nine Nether has a [Magic Teleportation Array].
The control and usage rights of these [Magic Teleportation Arrays] naturally belong to their owner: the Mage Guild.
Perhaps because of scarcity, those who want to use the Magic Teleportation Array must pay a large sum of Gold Coins.
The Mage Guild also charges a hefty ’service fee’ based on the user’s teleportation distance.
Although the cost to use the teleportation array in Nine Nether (100,000 Gold Coins/attempt + ’service fee’) has long been a sore point in people’s daily conversations.
Yet, people have to accept this harsh reality.
The teleportation array is there, if you want to use it, pay up.
But if you don’t want to use it, no one forces you.
The area of Nine Nether is multiple times larger than modern Earth.
If people don’t use teleportation arrays, they can only use beast vehicles for long-distance travel.
Of course, besides this, there’s an even better choice: airships.
But compared to the convenient teleportation array, these vehicles seem a bit insignificant.
Even taking an airship from Jialan Imperial Capital to the Demon Forest takes nearly two days.
Those with power and influence naturally won’t waste time this way; the teleportation array is their first choice.
Usually, places with teleportation arrays see little traffic.
No matter what, the high cost is there.
Normally, people won’t spend a fortune to use a teleportation array for travel.
Unless, like now, when masses are eager to go to the Demon Forest to verify spreading rumors.
More people are anxious.
What if all ’Outland beings’ are killed?
Probably, even the players themselves don’t know.
Playing the game, they have now become prey in the eyes of the native residents of Nine Nether Continent.
Yet, even if they knew.
Speaking from the players’ mentality, they likely wouldn’t take it to heart.
Because for players, who really is the true ’prey’ is still unknown.
In fact, across Rafam Continent’s battle zones, after a day’s events, players are ready to strike back against Nine Nether Continent’s native residents.
This was a situation Lin Yi hadn’t anticipated before.
Back to the point.
Riding the surge of interest in the Demon Forest, the Mage Guild is extraordinarily busy:
"I have money, whatever price is fine, let me use the teleportation array."
"Don’t block me, let me in."
"I’m the vice chairman of Bauhinia Flower Commerce, I need to see your president."
"I’ll pay triple the price, send me to [Feather Spirit City]."
...
...
Those gathering outside the Mage Guild all want to use the Magic Teleportation Array.
But in Nine Nether, not just anyone can use the teleportation array.
Furthermore, there’s a limit to the number of times the teleportation array can be used.
It’s said the teleportation array can only be activated twenty times a day, each teleport allows a maximum of ten people.
Beyond that, one must wait until the next day when the sun rises at the designated spot.
That’s because this teleportation array was built in ancient times, and the technology to construct magic arrays is lost, let alone repairs.
To protect the teleportation array.
Thus, there’s such a restriction.
After the burst of the Demon Forest event, the day’s twenty slots were filled within moments.
Robinson, as the vice chairman of Jialan Imperial Capital Mage Guild, is now overwhelmed due to the teleportation array issue.
He has already turned away an unknown number of people wanting to use the teleportation array, but the current wave of people is not easy to dismiss.
Robinson furrowed his brow upon seeing the young man before him:
"Your Highness Divine Son, I think I’ve made it very clear."
"The teleportation array is the foundation of our Mage Guild; we absolutely won’t risk its safety."
"If you want to use the teleportation array, please come early tomorrow, I’ll reserve a spot for you, okay?"
Normally, after hearing this, Lin Yi wouldn’t give the other party a hard time.
But now, being deeply concerned about Ling Yuwei’s safety, Lin Yi for the first time made a decision he himself disliked, saying somberly:
"Not okay!"
