Chapter 916 Asking for Money

Where there is good news, there will naturally be bad news.

Dark Fire, who had just returned to the Holy Tower, had not even sat down yet when the two deans, Sean and Kester, reached out to each other.

"Our Holy Tower's public funds have been spent in the past three years."

"For the long-term operation of the Holy Tower, you, the tower master, need to add some more." Kester said first.

Because he is an old man in the Holy Tower, although he and Sean are nominally managing the public funds of the Dark Fire Holy Tower, in fact, the main person in charge of the purse is still the old dean who is much older than Sean.

In recent years, Sean has frequently lured magicians such as Bose of the Abalut Empire, and finally asked Kester to reimburse him.

"Is it used up so quickly? I remember that I left a total of 100,000 magic coins before I left." Dark Fire frowned and said in surprise.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, and the source-changing app that old bookworms use.]

Sean and Kester did not explain much, but directly handed over two crystal balls.

The information recorded in the crystal ball is all the expenses of the Holy Tower in the past three years, and the expenditure of magic coins in it is even accurate to the single digit.

With the identities of Sean and Kester, there is really no need for them to embezzle the public funds of the Holy Tower.

The fifth-level magician Dark Fire is not a person who likes to manage the affairs of the Holy Tower, but it does not mean that he does not understand the affairs of the Holy Tower at all.

Who can become a fifth-level magician is simple?

How could he be fooled by two third-level magicians?

Then, Dark Fire frowned and carefully reviewed the expenditure of magic coins in the two crystal balls.

Indeed, as Sean and Kester said, there is not much left in the public fund pool of the Holy Tower.

The original 100,000 magic coins are now only about 30,000.

At this rate, the Dark Fire Holy Tower will soon be out of money.

The Holy Tower has no money, but the Tower Master has plenty of money.

Just after the war on the Gumo plane ended, the fifth-level Tower Master had exchanged all the war gains into magic coins, which was at least millions.

Not to mention, in addition to the Gumo plane, Dark Fire also had several slave planes and the property accumulated in the early years.

In terms of personal wealth, Dark Fire was considered rich among the fifth-level magicians.

He just had bad relationships and few friends.

The two largest expenditures recorded in the crystal ball given to the Tower Master by Sean and Kester were: the training of apprentices at the Holy Tower Academy and the upgrade of the overall environment and equipment of the Holy Tower.

The former was mainly done by Sean.

Why is it difficult for civilian magic apprentices to become talents? It's because of insufficient resources!

Although Sean has brought enough students to the Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy in recent years, the resources provided for the growth and training of these magic apprentices will not appear out of thin air.

The apprentice tasks issued by the Holy Tower Academy alone are not enough to make up for the cost of training them.

In fact, not only the Dark Fire Holy Tower, but also in the entire wizard world, in all Holy Tower organizations, "education" is a losing business.

Could it be that a few middle and low-level apprentices, who perform tasks to eliminate monsters or bandits that are causing trouble every few months, can make up for the cost of training them by the Holy Tower?

How is it possible!

The so-called regular apprentice mandatory tasks are just a way for the Holy Tower Academy to train these little guys.

The purpose of the Holy Tower Academy rules in the wizard world is not to train a group of nerds.

In the final analysis, magicians who are truly suitable for war are the young power and fresh blood that wizard civilization needs most.

Education is doing public welfare, otherwise wizard civilization would not provide a large number of loans and various conveniences to every magician who builds a new Holy Tower to help them build a Holy Tower.

After Sean became the dean, he calculated that the lowest cost of training an apprentice to become a talent is close to one hundred magic coins!

This is only the lowest cost. The so-called talent means that the other party can be promoted to the next level smoothly.

Of course, being promoted to the next level is far from that simple. There is still a huge gap between theory and reality.

At the same time, there are also a large number of magic apprentices who stagnate in the middle of their growth.

Low-level magic apprentices and intermediate magic apprentices are the largest group of magic apprentices in the wizarding world.

But after offsetting the two, Sean found that the investment of a holy tower in an apprentice is still close to one hundred magic coins!

The advantage of apprentices from noble families over civilian apprentices is that they can rely on their family background to obtain more resources more easily.

In this world, geniuses who can grow up simply by hard training are ultimately a minority.

Resources are the factor that determines the greater ratio.

The more than 2,000 apprentices that Sean has brought to the Dark Fire Holy Tower in the past three years, and the thousands of apprentices who will be enrolled every year in the future, are almost all poor civilian children.

So many apprentices need to study in the Holy Tower, which requires money. Where does the money come from?

Sean can only ask the tower owner.

As for the other biggest expense - the upgrade of the overall environment and equipment of the Holy Tower.

This was also proposed by Sean, but it received full support from Dean Kester!

In the field of improving the environment and upgrading equipment of the Holy Tower, Dean Kester is more anxious than Sean.

In fact, hundreds of years ago, Kester mentioned the relevant content to the tower master Dark Fire, but was directly rejected by the tower master at that time.

The most fundamental reason for Dark Fire to build the Holy Tower is actually for himself.

The benefits of cultivation provided by the Holy Tower's suppression rule nodes are what Dark Fire values ​​most.

He is not doing charity!

For Dark Fire, the Holy Tower is just a rough construction and can bring him enough convenience. He has never thought of taking this thing as a career.

This is also one of the reasons why Dark Fire can ignore the departure of a large number of Holy Tower magicians and promote Sean to the dean for the first time.

He doesn't care about these at all!

But this time, Dark Fire was directly taken away by the wizard civilization supervisor in the nearby area, and the overall affairs of the Holy Tower were placed on the shoulders of Sean and Kester.

Without the Dark Fire, Sean and Kester can do whatever they want.

Sean actually doesn't have such a high vision. The reason why he proposed to vigorously improve the environment of the Holy Tower and upgrade all aspects of the Holy Tower's equipment is entirely because of what he saw and heard in the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Sean's mentor, Lu Lianman, is a fourth-level magician who is very willing to spend money on the Holy Tower.

She is the real wizard world powerhouse who regards the Holy Tower as a career.

Sean was influenced by his mentor and naturally couldn't stand some of the defects and drawbacks of the Dark Fire Holy Tower.

After communicating with another dean, Kester, the two people's ideas coincided!

Sean even wanted to learn from his mentor Lu Lianman and expand and upgrade the public library of the Dark Fire Holy Tower.

But this plan was temporarily shelved.

Because there was no money.

When he just walked out of the laboratory, Sean complained in his heart that the tower master came back at a really bad time.

But at this time, after bringing up the matter of building the Holy Tower again, Sean had to sigh that the tower master came back at the right time.

Facing Sean and Kester extending their hands to him at the same time, Dark Fire fell into a long silence.
