If there's one thing players love the most, it's probably the mission reward list.
"The rocket jetpack can support flight with a load of up to 340kg."
"Adaptive optical camouflage generator, making the user optically invisible."
"Microwave Oscillator..."
Ask put down the list and asked:
"Can you provide these equipment immediately?"
"Of course not." Varian said seriously, "The magic tide just passed yesterday, and the factory's production line has not yet been restored. We can only postpone the delivery."
"That's it." Ask said, "Although these equipments are very useful, they will become scrap metal when the next demonic tide comes. Speaking of which, we haven't used the adaptive force field shield that His Majesty the Holy See gave me as a reward last time. I guess it was destroyed in this demonic tide."
"That's inevitable." Varian said with a smile, "Do you want mechanical products without electronic components? That's fine, but they are mainly cold weapons, and their value is much lower than those on this list."
"No, I mean, I don't want the finished product." Ask said with a smile, "I want the 'temple privilege'."
Temple privilege? Varian was slightly stunned before he realized what he was talking about.
At this time, the entire continent's cutting-edge manufacturing industry was concentrated on the small Italo-Canadian Peninsula.
The Templar Knights stationed in branches of various countries with the diocese, when they need to replace scrapped high-tech prosthetic eyes and limbs due to the demonic tide, for example, they have to place an order and send it back to the headquarters in Italy, and then arrange delivery through the Templar Knights' special logistics network.
At the same time, in the countries on the mainland, many princes and nobles who have friendly relations with the Holy See, for example, if they want to buy high-end military equipment or military vehicles, etc., they must also obtain approval from their diocese and place orders through the Templar Knights Templar's trading network. This is the so-called "Templar privilege."
Of course, this authority is not something that ordinary people can get.
For example, last year, when the Azure Sword had cooperated with the Eastern Branch of the Night Watch and wanted to exchange their supplies, they were told that all supernatural items above Sequence III were out of stock and that they needed to apply to the Night Watch headquarters in Florence and have them shipped through the Templars' trading network - and this permission would never be given to outsiders.
If it were any other mercenary group, Varian would certainly not agree to make this offer.
You have to know that if you buy high-tech equipment at one time, the other party will only use it for a year at most, and it will soon be scrapped in the next round of magic tide. However, the Templars' trading rights? That means that as long as you have money, you can place an order for any high-tech equipment at any time. If you are not careful, you will become an enemy.
However, the Blue Sword Mercenary Group is not an outsider after all. Apart from other things, our little sister Nora is in this team. If she wants to buy a smart gun for fun, can the family still withhold it
Sitting in the position of cardinal, the "temple privilege" that the princes and nobles of various countries had been longing for was just a matter of a few words to Bishop Varian, so he readily agreed:
"Okay, I will talk to His Holiness about this."
After agreeing on the mission reward, Ask went to the Vatican with Varian, accompanied by Nora.
