"It's not a friend, it's just acquaintance." Dougles waved his hand: "We have no real friendship, and the relationship is good on the surface. We just regard each other's property or power as a means of social interaction."

Roland shrugged. He didn't know how to respond if the other party was so honest.

Dougles continued: "It would be easy to deal with just being robbed. The real big problem is that the Holeven royal family and the Magic Association jointly spoke out, saying that the Cornucopia Guild maliciously monopolizes magic materials and disrupts the market. It ordered them to place a large number of high-end magic materials at a low price in twenty days to stabilize the market, otherwise they would be wanted nationwide."

"Not surprising..." Roland nodded. He had expected this, but suddenly he discovered something wrong: "Did the royal family say directly that they are such a modern term as 'monopolizing magical materials and disrupting the economic market'?"

Dougles gave a thumbs up: "You are smart and react so quickly. That's right, according to the information I found, the royal family recently recruited a small group of elite players, and it is probably full of financial talents. Anyway, the Cornucopia Chamber of Commerce is in trouble now. If they really spit out magic materials and spit out the market, they will definitely lose so much that their pants will be properly out. After all, during the acquisition process, the magic materials slowly increased their prices. When they finally acquired, they probably stocked up at a premium of three or four times."

Roland subconsciously tapped his finger on the table. After a while, he said: "The royal family's plan of differentiation has been successful. Those players who robbed the Cornucopia Chamber of Commerce probably did this because they received the royal family's mission."

"But aren't they afraid of turning into a red name or something?"

"As long as there is a task, killing players will not increase the red name value," Roland smiled. Somehow, he suddenly remembered Antis: "I guess it is something like ocean privateer certificate, land privateer certificate and other things."

Dougles chuckled: "Awesome, this operation is sensible. I think it should be a plan made by the players recruited by the royal family."

Roland smiled bitterly in his heart... Actually, it was his. When he went to the royal city to send money to the Bard Guild two weeks ago, he chatted with Antis for a while and talked about the concept of private certificates. At that time, he just chatted casually and found some topics to talk about.
