Speaker Crawford Shim is a fat man with two fluffy beards.
Knight didn't have a deep impression of him.
In the plot of Fairy Tail, this person can't be said to be a marginal character, but he is not a particularly important character.
I only remember that he lost the throne of Speaker because of the Tower of Heaven incident.
Later, in order to regain power, he cooperated with the dark guild Tartaros, and was eventually killed by his own ambition.
Of course, that was in the future and had not happened yet.
Knight did not feel any malice in him.
"Please come this way."
Followed Crawford Shim to a spacious living room.
The Speaker personally made tea for the two of them.
"This is my favorite chamomile, I wonder if you are used to it?"
Erza picked up the teacup, and the rich aroma was refreshing.
"Great fragrance, thank you for your hospitality."
Being able to be cordially entertained by the Speaker of the Council was entirely due to Knight.
Knight was still very cautious, and only took a sip after not finding any abnormal magic in the tea.
"Chamomile is a kind of herb called 'Earth Apple' 'Nine Seven Zero'.
It is the best for making tea."
Crawford Shim laughed happily.
He looks like an ordinary fat old man.
Knight nodded in agreement.
It is really delicious. "ixkt..." "It's not working time now.
Just call me Mr.
Crawford."
Crawford Shim wore a ring in his hand.
After inputting magic power, the magic network interface popped up immediately: "Knight, your magic network is a great magic.
I have been studying it for some time and have always wanted to ask you for advice." "You are welcome, Mr.
Crawford, what do you want to ask?"
Knight listened attentively. "First of all, its coverage.
I haven't asked anyone to test it specifically, but I haven't found its limit yet." "The coverage of the magic network is the entire continent."
Knight answered affirmatively.
Crawford Shim showed an expression of expectation: "I see, is it just the Ishgar continent, or all continents?" "The entire continent!"
Neil answered affirmatively again.
There are several continents in the Fairy Tail world.
The Kingdom of Fiore is located in the eastern continent, called "Ishgar".
As a permanent neutral country, Fiore has a population of only 17 million. It is located in the lower left corner of Ishgar and is just a peninsula on the continent.
There are about 500 guilds in the entire Ishgar area.
Crawford Shim looked amazed.
"It can cover the entire continent... It's amazing!"
"Knight, your online commission function is very convenient. I want to promote it to the whole of Ishgar. For this, I need more rings."
"You made all these rings, right? Is there any difficulty in mass production? Our Council can provide necessary help.
Promote to the whole of Ishgar?
Knight was a little surprised:
"Is it to facilitate the management of major guilds?"
"You can also say that this will be an innovation. The efficiency of the Council is a bit slow now. It will be more convenient with the help of your magic network. "
Crawford Shim opened a chat group.
The group name is [Council], with a thousand members.
One speaker, plus nine members.
"This chat group is also very convenient. There is no need to hold a meeting every time for communication. It's just...
Crawford Shim scratched his head a little embarrassedly:
"Typing is a bit troublesome. Do you have any way to transform it into a telepathic communication like "talking"? "
Knight did not comment on this.
He certainly knew the convenience of voice communication.
But there is a very critical problem.
The magic power consumption will be very large.
The transmission of text puts much less burden on the Internet.
However, the number of Internet registrations today has reached nearly 8,000.
It should be able to withstand the voice function.
Thinking of this, Knight nodded and said:
"It can be done, Mr. Crawford, when the next version is updated, I will add this function to the magic network. "
After a pause, he said: "Any other suggestions? You can bring them up together.
"It's good to be able to do it. Alas, it's always inconvenient for an old man like me to type." Crawford Shim laughed and touched his big bald head:
"Since we can talk directly, what about the picture? Can the picture do it?"
f**k, you dare to ask that.
Knight complained in his heart, there are sound and picture, and the combination of the two can make it a live broadcast.
The magic power consumption of transmitting the live picture will be even greater.
"It can be, maybe we have to wait until the next version?" Knight answered unsurely.
"Is it really possible to do anything?"
Crawford Shim was shocked: "Is the principle of your Internet magic to integrate other magic, just like the library and the corresponding ancient documents."
"That's right."
Knight nodded and quickly changed the subject, fearing that the fat old man would make any excessive demands again.
It's like the author of a novel facing the readers' urging for updates.
The author also wants to update ten times a day, but he can't write it.
"Let's get back to the topic just now."
Knight took out a cloth bag and put it on the tea table: "This is 1,000 first-generation magic rings, which can only be used by wizards.
I think the Council of Representatives needs this very much. "Yes, I need it very much! It's just too expensive!"
Crawford Shim was embarrassed: "The price of one million per ring, the Council of Representatives does not have that much funding." 1,000 rings is 1 billion.
It's not that there is no such money, but there is no extra money.
The Council of Representatives is all funded by the government, and each amount has a specific amount, so he can't embezzle it casually. "This is only 10,000 per ring."
Knight was happy in his heart.
It seems that Makarov scared Crawford last time... "Really? That's a great help! I will use these rings properly."
Crawford Shim nodded happily.
Knight continued: "As for you wanting more, I can provide you with second-generation rings, which can be used by ordinary people.
After the first batch is completed, I can sell them to the Council of Representatives at a friendly price. "
Being close to the people, translated as making a lot of money.
Let Lucy's father talk to the Council of Review at that time.
Finally, Knight thought for a while and said:
"As for your desire to manage the magic world more conveniently, I have a suggestion here."
As he said, he opened his magic network and showed the old Speaker a section that had not been updated yet.
[Weekly Soshara].
Seeing this thing, Crawford Shim's eyes lit up.
After listening to Knight's introduction, he immediately understood.
Applauded:
"This is great! You must make such a section for the Council of Review!"
With a section belonging to the Council of Review itself, it will be many times more convenient to convey the Council of Review's orders in the future.
And he, as the Speaker, can't escape this credit.
"Don't worry, Mr. Crawford, I will add it in the next version update. "
Knight agreed of course.
This is an official organization, he is looking forward to it!
Speaking of official organizations, shouldn't they give an "official certification"?
"Okay, okay, Knight, I was right about you, your magic is incredible!"
Crawford Shim laughed and looked very happy.
"By the way, about nominating you as Ten Wizard Saints..."
"I am honored. "
Knight thought, I got the Holy Ten for free, I'll take it!
Then, the two continued to communicate on the Internet, completely forgetting Erza.
Erza was not angry about this, but listened carefully to the communication between the two sides.
1.4 I couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Knight.
It's amazing!
It can chat and laugh with a big man like the Speaker, and reach a cooperative relationship with the Council.
Knight is not an ordinary wizard, but a group that brings changes to the magic world!
Erza remembered the evaluation of President Makarov, and at this moment she really experienced the weight of this sentence.
A pleasant conversation lasted for a long time.
Speaker Crawford Shim invited the two to dinner.
In the afternoon, he turned down many tasks and personally took the two to visit the Council.
In the end, he didn't even have to serve in prison, and directly arranged a guest room.
The next day, he was released after serving his sentence.
The Council proposed to grant Knight's Holy Ten Medal was unanimously approved.
So, after the meeting.
The Council held a grand awarding ceremony.
Zikrein, who was also a Holy Ten, personally delivered the Holy Ten Medal and handed it to Knight.
Urtia, who came with him, smiled and said:
"From now on, you are Ten Wizard Saints!"
