《Legacy: Lord Alba》Blinded by greed
Advertisement
After Alexander solved the issue on the herbs, he went back to the living room to relax to but, unfortunately as soon as he sat on the coach. Two people came rushed into the room, which is Audrey and Frey. The two inquired about what Alexander did just now.
After the two heard Alexander explantation, Alexander was finally able to take time off, while leaving the two in their own thoughts. After all, everything they heard just now was a novelty to them. Frey only knew that if a Kingdom risen to be a Mortal country Grade 5, there will be several powerhouse guilds establish their branches in the kingdom. And as for professions, he only has limited knowledge about it. But after listening to Alexander elaboration.
He came to know that professions are numerous and vary. There are even some rare and peculiar. Only known profession are generally alchemist and array mastery. But professions are not limited to those two. Profession is actually divided into 3 degreed categories.
The first degree is the popular one as the profession are important for cultivation and combat force. These are an alchemist, array mastery, blacksmiths and craftsmanship.
These are the most desired.
The second-degree category is a profession that is mainly for external force or that were used for support. The profession is doctors, beast tamers, and poison mastery.
The last category degree falls under "hobby" professions. There is a profession like chef, winemakers, entertainer dancer, gourmet, and appraiser.
Although the degree category is established, the relationship between them is not absolute. For example, an alchemist who is known for his love for wine, will, without doubt, lower his pride in front of the winemaker. More than thousands of cases like this can happen. This caused Frey to broaden his perspective. Knowing the world is unpredictable, this enticed him to dream of traveling around the world and meet these eccentric people.

And to do this he needed strength, this caused a flame ignited within Frey, and for the first time he was hungry for martial power.
At the same time, Audrey recalled what Alexander told her a few years ago about Benedict, "he's just an old clown playing alchemist". And after listening to the lecture, she realized that Benedict on the continent would not be considered as an apprentice.
The continent is stretch widely, and desolate areas like here are meant to be isolated from essential matters. They do not even know what was going on in this region.
After contemplating for a bit, Frey frowned and said, "Third prince, I am in doubt, from what you said the inscription mastery is a branching degree, rather a totally different profession, why don't they establish a guild?"
Alexander replied " Mr. Frey you are correct, though the inscription mastery can be taken as another profession, it is not separated from the Guild of Array Mastery, this is due to many factors, there is 3 main factor.
Firstly, the inscription mastery was born from people who wanted to be Dial Mastery unfortunately unsuccessful.
Second, the majority of the inscription masters did not want to give up protection from large guild such as Array Mastery guild.
Thirdly, due to the pressure of the Dial Master on the inscription master, many are seen as less than those you are not Dial master within the guild, which prevents them from forming their guild."
Due to this pressure as well, many inscription masters were identified as Array master. Including me. Technically if you use several inscriptions as I did it would form a formation, so he didn't bother much about this issue.
He was just a rogue cultivator while the other was from a great guild, and his main profession was always been Dial Mastery, doing this will avoid many problems. Although he dared to offend many clans and powerhouses as if it was not a big deal, only if necessary he will offend powerhouse guild. Afterall he was also part of the guild and providing services.

Anyway, offending a guild is not an easy thing to do.
After Alexander explanation, Frey finally understood the importance of the situation, he then contemplating about other branch professions like the War Mastery, using people to form a formation. After a moment, Frey decided to ask "Third prince, is it possible that General Keer is a war mastery master?"
Alexander replied, "he is not one, if he is a war mastery formations, I find it hard to believe he never left his power and stayed as great general for several years."
This surprised Frey and erased any doubts that he had for several years, General Keer appeared out of nowhere and advanced his rank too fast, If he has to do something with war mastery, it was known facts, but where did he get the formation?
As if knowing what Frey was thinking, Alexander said "those are the most common and simple formation to use, normally the power will have a few dozens of them. As long as you don't use all the force of the formation there will be no problem using it with people outside the power."
While they were still on about it, Audrey interrupted them "Hey, don't you see what is important here? With the liquid that the young master made, we can sell the herbs as the Precious Hall did a long time ago. Imagine what will we earn, compare to the profits from the clothes it will be nothing."
She do not if her Young master is an Array Master or Inscription Master. In the end, it was just a name and ever since they started doing business with Mrs. Anna, she developed a business instinct and her instinct tingling with what the liquid can be profited off.
Hearing this Alexander could not help but frown in disappointment
"Audrey you seem to be blinded by greed."
Audrey lowered her and think it thought, and said "I don't understand. Can you please explain."
Alexander shook his head, thinking that this woman is only smart with something she already knew, but if it was something new she was dumb as a donkey. Alexander simply replied, "The Precious Hall was a powerful powerhouse, even if we do not know its strength it must be more powerful than you can imagine, do you know the only thing that can make a powerhouse like them flee?"
Before he said anything Audrey said, " it must be someone they can't offend, if someone like Precious hall can't even deal with, must less the one who drove them away from doing business here."
Listening to Alexander, Audrey's face changed, she realized that the Precious Hall was stopped doing business by someone on this region, and replacing them would be offending the party that drove them away. She realized she was truly blinded by greed.
