The Early Online Dream

Episode 35 of Arc Dark Eye: The Family Team Part V

THE FAMILY is a Team that has not been in shape for too long at Dream and has not received sponsorship from any party they can not search just to find a suitable sponsor is very difficult.

Sponsors will usually make small investments. However, asking for special treatment such as wanting only their own company logo in the Team costume is not even uncommon to ask to replace the team captain with the person they appointed.

There are many potential sponsors Eli has met. However, they all want a prime spot with an investment that is not even up to 30 Million dollars with a 4 to 5 year contract.

If THE FAMILY was just a small or medium-sized Guild. Eli will receive it with open arms, though it is not at the price he should have. But, this is a Team that has the best marketing power in Dream Online games today.

On the other hand to put a small logo on the costume of E-sport alone will cost 10 million dollars a year.What needs to be remembered is that Esport itself is a game that the smallest audience of 3 games that can be played in VRMMORPG.

If you compare the number of viewers Dream Online with E-sport comparison is almost 500:1 and it continues to move up since the game was launched. With the power of a higher number of spectators. Then, the cost of advertising should be higher as well.

Sending a contract of 30 or 50 million with a period of 4 to 5 years and want to be placed in the main place in the list of sponsors is an insult to a Team.

Although Team THE FAMILY is not a Team in the Top 100 Global List, their name has been widely known to people, especially during the 5 years before Alheim Online Game was decided to end. By taking this into account, Eli believes the tariff that a Team like his should get at least 100Jt per year.

This time his team got 10x of the minimum tariff he had pegged as the base price. Eli and his brothers are overjoyed with so much money invested in their Team and not just that, Sri Ayu Corb did not even demand much on them in addition they would also be given a bonus if they won a certain position in the Tournament or Olympics.

‘’Hahaha.. From now on we will not starve’’ Ryuta shouted happily.

‘’True, we can buy many things with that money’’ Rin said excitedly

‘’No, we cannot waste the money we get now.we have to save money, at this time Sri Ayu Corp gives us a lot of trust. But no we don't know what will happen in the future. You have to remember what happened to us before.

‘’True, we cannot waste money like we used to’’ Ryuta said on the other hand Rin nodded in agreement with Eli's opinion

‘’To maintain our rice bowl in the tournament near future we should be able to good position’’ Eli spoke seriously

‘’So I'm sure with aunt Michel we fitting win see how he moved before wush like lightning disappeared in front of us’’ Rin spoke happily

‘’We can not underestimate the opponent, our experience teaches that we can not just rely on others what else that person is very tied to our main Sponsor’’ explained Eli

‘’How about mr CEO?’’ ask Ryuta

‘’Although he is very strong he is only a priest.His combat ability is much lower than that of a Cleric like me. Given who he is likely lord Lara is just having fun in the game and has no intention to play seriously’’ Eli expressed his opinion

‘’True, he might get bored and decide to play. But, because he is in our team, he can still be on the bench. However he is the main sponsor of this team, we must be given a special place for him’’ Rin said calmly

‘’True, he must be given a seat in the match for fun. When against a weak team we will let the CEO master go forward to have fun’’ Ryuta spoke as well

‘’Good idea’’ said Eli agreed on the idea of his two brothers

In their minds, Lara was indeed very powerful in the real world. However, basically the real world is different from the games.even though Lara has a good index, it is, in fact, his work as a pastor is not a job that can be considered a fighting class job and is more input into lifestyle work or production class work.

although his index was excellent, he still could not compete well against the battle-class Job.even though he could also use battle skills he was still far from quite rivaling the strength of the Battle-class Job skill.

On the other hand, they also thought that if they did not make Lara participate in the match it would definitely cause displeasure for Lara who was their main sponsor. If that happened they would most likely lose their 1 Billion. For Eli and the others rather than losing positions in the Tournament they would be sicker if they lost their sponsors much less Lara was no ordinary sponsor.

Lara on the other hand did not care about things like Team matches, Guilds or anything like that. For Lara now is how to solve the problem in Philotas related to the eruption of the Dark Eye monster in the Stone Fire mine in the village of Platos and others is to quickly find a cure for Igaram.

Igaram basically has a strong life energy so that it can live up to thousands of years without problems. However, when he fought Anggelia before he slowly lost his life energy in his body which caused his lifespan to erode even faster every day.

Lara did not understand why Anggelia did such a cruel thing for Igaram even left her in a state of near death when she finished the battle. If Igaram did not prepare an item to prevent the worst from happening he would not even survive after the battle.

Lara can understand Anggelia's choice. But, for what he did to the man who had protected his life on so many occasions so cruelly Lara could only hate him. Recalling that Lara accidentally saw the pendant Igaram gave her for Anggelia who was on the table.

Lara read the medicine books she read from the Mor Village sherby shop there were many medicinal plants, there were many medicinal plants, pill and Potion that he recognized in because before Lara had read various kinds of treatment books that he got when in Duran City and Platos Village. Lara had devised various formulas in mind that were then written into her literal notes on the table.

Lara hoped that she could find an Alkemist production skill soon to try every possibility she wrote and thought of. Lara understands that no matter how much theory does not mean if it cannot be applied and tried directly.

‘’Pack someone wants to meet you’’ sound Ijah heard from outside

‘’Let him enter’’ Lara speaks while picking up another book on her desk as well as closing her literacy books.

Lara didn't see who was coming in. But, he knew that person was a player who survived on the wall along with the Mor Village citizens.

‘’Mail you like to read. I happen to also like to read’’ said the man with red mohawk hair and sharp eyes as well as a muscular body that seemed to have some ability.

‘’I don't talk to people I don't know their names and origins. Your appearance is quite unpleasant. But, as the saying goes don't look at the book from its cover’’ explained Lara mElyrik a little then continue her work

‘’Haha... I love your speaking style Pastor, I'm Griezmen an Attacking Warior from the Monca-Monca Guild. We've investigated quite a bit about you and intend to recruit you into our Guild. I myself am a Captain arguably my rank is quite high in the Guild, I can guarantee you can enter our Elite Guild team if you want to join us’’ said the man who claimed to be named Giezmen proudly.

‘’Then this pastor should apologize to you. As a pastor I cannot be involved in politics outside of Church’’

‘’Prince do not rush to refuse, we know you love this village if the priest wants to join us. I will tell my boss to help this village. Coincidentally my boss is in Duran at the moment, chances are he will help you very high’’ Giezmen explained with full confidence

‘’The map definitely knows that a Guild strength of 100 people is comparable to 1000 players can and it just so happens that we have 500 people in Duran which means 5000 strength. With that power I am sure this village will be more able to survive when the attack arrives’’light Geizmen and intend to continue

But, when he suddenly realized his interlocutor did not glance at him at all let alone to be interested in his offer. At the same time Giezmen found that he was more like a bully fly buzzing in the ears of his interlocutors. Knowing that, Giezmen's face slowly turned red with anger. Then after he was on the crest about to explode he heard Lara speak

‘’There are about 2000 players still staying. The journey from Duran takes 4 to 5 days to get here even if done by riding alone.you have 500 people which means a large confoy Guild.’’ Lara started talking

‘’I have no confidence a Guild will be able to rent a carriage for 500 people in crisis like now, unless you rob a horse farm. But, it feels impossible to get that many horses or carriages in Duran especially for now’’ explained Lara calmly then continued

‘’I think your boss will be here in 10 weeks at the earliest. Everyone eats at least 3 Breads and 2 Liters of water a day to survive the journey which means you need 1500 Breads and 1000 Liters of water which I know the price of bread has now reached 1 silver per fruit in Duran which means your Guild needs a minimum of 15 Gold to buy bread and a day time’’

‘’Don't tell me you don't know the price of water in Duran right now. one liter of water has now reached 10 silver in Duran which means 20000 silver or 200 Gold for water in a day trip if multiplied by one week then it is 1400-1600 Gold’ Lara very smoothly like a twittering bird made Giezmen stunned as well as confused. He doesn't know what Lara says is right or wrong. But, just listening to it he was sure it was a truth that he did not know.

Lara had already seen that the Dark Eyes had deliberately poisoned the water from the upper reaches of the Mor river which meant that they had now reached Cimir City and destroyed it. The town of Cimir is in the north direction of Mor Village is bordered by the famous Mor Forest. Lara made the calculation it would take at least 3-4 days for toxic water to reach Duran. And now it's been 3 days since the river and well in Duran got infected.

With a large population Duran will quickly lose their clean water source so it is very reasonable if now Duran experienced a crisis. On the other hand Alexandria itself has not given any reaction related to the criticism in Duran and probably will not care about it as well.

Lara had been on the lookout for this kind of thing ever since she saw the movements of the Dark Eyes that she thought were strange ever since it first appeared. Lara made a plan to immediately save thousands of tons of water in a short time. Thousands of tons of this water was stored along with the food supply of the village granary and now it has been transported into the wall.

With the existing population along with the number of existing Players Lara was sure during the flood the monsters did not attack with large groups, however, Mor village will survive during the disaster with the record they can manage supplies properly. Lara knew Giezmen could not retaliate and she knew the captain's analytical skills were still far below hers.
