Gold is Justice

Hearing what Ariel said, Suta felt better even though she knew it was comforting.



Chapter 550 Brave Selection

the next day.

Originally, Ariel thought that she would meet with the five people in power again today, to hear what else they wanted to say, or to hear something from her side.

But early the next morning, what woke her up was not the yelling of her troops, but the sound of a very loud horn.

woo woo woo woo----------

The sound sounded like a ship's whistle, but it was even deeper.After hearing the sound of the horn, Arthur, who was still asleep just now, suddenly jumped up from the haystack!It was only when he stretched his hands and feet that he realized that the vines on his body had been lifted. Now, without even caring about looking at Ariel, Suta and Buffy next to him, he rushed out of the room.

Looking at the broken door of the thatched cottage, Ariel and the three of them looked at each other, quickly tidied themselves up briefly, and then ran out.As soon as I went out, I saw the mermaid army members from the men's dormitory running out nervously. Although their weapons had been confiscated when they entered the village, everyone still showed a very vigilant look.

"President, what's going on?"

Brad seemed a little nervous, holding up two big fists, looking like he wanted to do his best anytime, anywhere.

Ariel glanced around. Under the sound of the horn, many island residents ran towards the direction of the sound. These residents included adults and children, but without exception, they all seemed in a hurry. Some people didn't even have time to put on their clothes and ran out barefoot.

Looking at the hurried crowd, Ariel said, "My suggestion must have been successful yesterday. They already know what happened to the brave man, so they are rushing to hold this meeting now."

Immediately, Ariel shook her head: "We will catch up immediately. Anyway, this is a good opportunity to participate in matters related to the brave."

After speaking, she ran along with her.

The mermaid army, a group of less than 20 people in total, ran towards the direction of the sound of the horn.Along the way, I kept seeing people chasing up from behind, and some people even stopped walking and jumped off the roof.Looking at the physical fitness of these people on the island, it is of course impossible for Ariel not to be envious.

It didn't take long for the mermaid army to arrive in front of the large courtyard they arrived at yesterday.At this time, a small square had been cleared out in front of the courtyard, and almost a hundred people from the entire island were standing here.And everyone in the mermaid army stood on the outermost edge, tiptoeing, ready to see what happened inside.

At this moment, the sound of the horn stopped.

Uncle Dun, one of the five people in power, was the first to jump off the cliff behind the courtyard.The cliff at an almost ninety-degree angle seems to have no way to stop this strong man. When he landed, the other four people in power also came out of the house. Granny Jian nodded slightly to Uncle Dun: " Thanks a lot."

Afterwards, Granny Jian glanced at all the people present, and soon her eyes fell on the mermaid army who was waiting behind her. After a moment of silence, she said——

"Ms. Ariel Garcia, this is a meeting belonging to our island residents, and it seems inconvenient for you to participate."

After hearing Granny Jian's words, all the islanders turned their heads and looked at the mermaid army.Among them, Arthur also turned his head and glanced at the crowd, then immediately turned his head and continued to look at the five people in power in front of him.

At that moment, everyone silently made way for a passage so that Ariel could look directly at Granny Jian.Ariel smiled awkwardly, and said: "Well... I thought about it last night, and when you heard me say that there was a war on the mainland, or even some monsters attacking humans, you drove me out So I'm thinking, are you related to those monsters? You... you shouldn't be part of those monsters, right?"

Hearing what Ariel said, Thor, who was standing next to Granny Jian, blew his beard all of a sudden: "What are you talking about! No matter what we do, we can't be with those monsters!"

Yanze said at this time: "Ms. Garcia, you thought a lot last night. In fact, we also thought a lot. In the past few years, one person on our island would leave the island for business from time to time. After returning He will also tell us about the customs and customs of the mainland. Sometimes he will send letters back. Last night I re-read those letters. Although there are not many descriptions of you in the words of our resident, there are also It's kind of a money grab. I thought, can you explain?"

Ariel was still going to pretend to be stupid, but at this moment, the Arthur who shouted yesterday to tell Ariel to keep the secret, now rushed out of the crowd and shouted——

"Is there any news about Brother Link? Isn't it? Isn't it! Brother must be alive! When will Brother come back? He must have successfully sealed the Demon King, right? He must be fine, right?!" At this moment, Link and the Demon King What happened was instantly heard by everyone present.

All the residents on the island know that Link has the title of brave, and naturally they also know that he has the important responsibility of re-sealing the devil as the last layer of insurance.But now, they looked at the merchant ships that came to the island from outside, and then looked at the excited mood of little Arthur, and then recalled how many years it had been since the sound of the horn that urgently summoned everyone present... …

Everyone is not stupid. If you think about it, you can understand how much information is contained in it.What's more, what little Arthur said now is almost equivalent to talking about everything.

"Link...hasn't come back for a long time, and hasn't sent a letter back?"

"No way...the Demon King really escaped from the seal?"

"I thought that this kind of thing wouldn't happen in my generation...I didn't expect to be bumped into by the kid Link..."

"Hey, he should come back and inform us immediately, instead of acting on his own!"

"That's right, although it is indeed the job of the brave to seal the Demon King, he doesn't have to take care of everything by himself...you can call me back..."

"What should we do now? The brave man died in battle against the Demon King, what should we do next?"

"What else can I do? On our island, the title of brave can only be held by one person forever. If you want to re-determine the brave, unless the previous brave died in battle or voluntarily resigned. Just like Granny Jian resigned voluntarily, then this once……"

"So soon, the selection of heroes will start again? I thought it would take at least ten years..."

"But... the brave man selected this time is really going to fight the Demon King, right? I... I'm suddenly a little scared..."

"What are you afraid of? If you are afraid, why work so hard? Aren't the people training on Help Island all waiting for this moment?"

People talked a lot, with anxiety written all over their faces.But apart from anxiety, some people's faces also had a hint of anticipation.

Grandma Jian saw that the matter had been completely exposed, but there was a little haze on her face that was originally smiling.She lowered her head and stared at Arthur silently.

And Arthur seemed to know that he had accidentally caused a catastrophe, but the child only flinched a little bit, but then he gritted his teeth and stepped forward with a broken posture and shouted: "I don't agree to holding a brave man's selection!" Big brother is not so easy to die, he is definitely healing somewhere now, or temporarily unable to contact us for some reason! Therefore, we should never choose a brave man again! We should trust big brother! I believe he will be able to come back safely of!"

Everyone's eyes were all focused on this child who was only eight or nine years old, and on the side of the ruler, Thor looked around the audience and said, "Whose side is this child?"

At this time, a fearful middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, and said to the five power holders: "He...is called Arthur, and he was the child Link had been taking care of before. Later, Link went out to do missions, so I will stay here for now. in my side……"

Thor glared at the middle-aged man, as if blaming him for not being strict with his students.It's just that he didn't say these words, because it's not important at all, and there are more things to consider than this now.

After the middle-aged man dragged Arthur and dragged him back to the crowd while covering his mouth, Grandma Jian said: "In view of the tradition of our Help Island, when the previous brave stepped down or couldn't continue to perform the brave After taking office, we need to choose a new hero to keep the last hope and flame of mankind against the devil. For this reason, we need to re-organize the selection of heroes. Everyone on the island, regardless of gender, age, Anyone who thinks they can bear the burden of the title of brave can participate in this selection. Because time is tight, we don't have extra time for you to prepare, so we will conduct the selection at Luoxingyan in an hour. Please everyone Use this insignificant hour to prepare as soon as possible. Now, dismiss."

As Granny Jian's words fell, the crowd present almost turned their heads and left the moment the notice was issued.

Among them, those islanders who acted as "teachers" kept urging their "students" to go back and prepare as soon as possible.If some students were still surprised by what was about to happen, and some didn't recover, the teachers would immediately drag them along and explain as they walked.

In less than a minute, there were only a handful of people left on the square in front of the courtyard.And these few people seem to be too old, and there is not much possibility of competing for the title of brave, so they can talk to each other slowly.

Ariel looked at the crowds who kept leaving, and at the same time turned her head, and saw the child standing in the empty square——Arthur.

When the person who was supposed to be his teacher led the other students away, he didn't even pull him, just let him stand there like this.It seems that from the very beginning, there was no expectation of him.

Seeing Arthur standing blankly now, Suta couldn't bear it for a moment, then walked up and stood by his side.

Looking down, the child's face still had that kind of unwilling sadness and a bit of restrained anger.Seeing this, Suta said softly: "Aren't you going back to prepare? Since it's a competition, it must take a while. At least go back and have breakfast, change your clothes, and bring your weapons."

Hearing Suta's voice, Little Arthur immediately raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, then said with a nonchalant attitude: "Didn't you see? No one thinks that I am qualified to be a brave man. Except for the elder brother Besides, this teacher of mine won’t even come and pull me.”

Ariel also came up at this time and said, "So, you have decided to give up?"

Little Arthur lowered his head again and remained silent.

Suta walked up to him, knelt down, and said with tenderness in his eyes, "little guy, although I don't know what you did on this island. But I can tell from your character, you Not a likable kid at all."

Arthur wiped his eyes again, raised his head, and looked at the pasta in front of him.Looking at the gentle eyes of the woman in front of him, he was a little stunned for a while.

"However, I don't hate the decision you made. To be a hero means to fight the devil, right? You are still too young, and this kind of thing is simply not something you can do now. Even if the island Everyone else is trying to fight for this title, but it doesn't mean you have to fight for it. What you should do is to grow up in peace and stability, and then work hard to live. Things like fighting are left to you. Let us adults do it."

At the end, after thinking about it, Suta added another sentence: "I think, if your mother is still by your side, she must hope so too."

Hearing Suta's gentle voice, Arthur's mouth pouted all of a sudden, his cheeks were puffed out, and his eyes were also red.His fists were clenched tightly, as if trying to restrain his emotions.

But at this time...

"Suta, what's the matter with this child? Is he our child?"

Buzz's voice came from behind, and Arthur was taken aback when he heard the slightly harsh and cold voice, then immediately rubbed his cheeks and turned his head.Then, he saw a slender and strong magic swordsman with long hair almost touching his heels, standing quietly behind him.

Suta did not stand up, but squatted and looked up, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "His name is Arthur. We met a little bit yesterday. It's a pity...he doesn't seem to be our child. Let's go to Luoxingyan, there should be many children from the island gathered there."

Facing Bath's stern gaze, Arthur was obviously a little scared.However, he still wanted to hold on, and then he opened his mouth and said glibly: "Yo! Are you the grandfather of this beautiful aunt? You look so old, and you are not worthy of a beautiful sister at all! Don't worry, from now on, the beautiful aunt I, Uncle Arthur, will take care of you, and you can obediently go to a distant place between the sky and the sea to retire!"

Originally, Arthur thought that his slick tongue would make Buzz look even more ugly.At the same time, Suta behind him should also scold him.It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that at this moment, he didn't know if he was expecting to see the ugly face of this strange uncle?Or do you want to hear that this gentle aunt can scold yourself a few more times, so take care of yourself?

But to Arthur's surprise, Buzz's face did not become more ugly.On the contrary, he bent down and used a condescending posture, covering little Arthur's whole body with just his own shadow, forming a posture of absolute oppression and domination.

"Just now, you were very brave, you dared to stop the selection of the brave in public."

Is this a compliment?

But even Ariel, who was next to her, didn't feel much praise in it.

"I agree with what my wife said. At your age, you should not participate in the selection of heroes, nor should you face the devil head-on. However, this does not mean that you don't need to work hard."

"Do you want to become stronger? Then go to the scene later to see who won the title of brave in the end, and then according to his training volume, you can practice three times more. Otherwise, you In this life, let's just go on fooling around forever."

Ariel knew that what Buzz said was not a joke.

As one of the people who had actually confronted the brave man, Bass knew exactly how powerful and terrifying the brave Link was.And everyone now realizes that at that time, Link probably didn't go all out to kill, and ended up just knocking down the members of Song of the Mermaid.Therefore, except for the demon king Yi Ge, I am afraid that no one can guess how strong the brave man who really goes all out and mercilessly kills the killer can be.

Therefore, it is absolutely not alarmist to ask Arthur to triple the amount of training than the upcoming brave man.Even every member of Song of the Mermaid will secretly think about the strength of the brave and the devil, and then take the time to secretly train themselves.

As for Arthur, the child was almost holding his breath now, and dared not say a word.Under the coercion of Bass, the original oily tone seemed to be completely suppressed, and he could only lower his head, and could only secretly scold in his own voice, but he didn't dare to reveal a little bit of emotion. Here comes the voice.At that moment, Ariel clapped her hands and said, "Okay, time is running out, and we don't have much time. Hurry up and get something to eat and then go to Starfall Rock. Arthur, why don't you talk to us first?" Together? You can also lead us later."

Arthur muttered, "Who will show you the way?"

But then, when he saw Bass's stern eyes and Suta's gentle eyes, his feet, which were about to run away, finally retracted, and he followed Ariel and the others back to get ready to go.

One thousand 550 chapters of the rules of the fairies in the lake

The Falling Star Rock on Help Island is actually not as high as imagined.

It can be said that it is a small hillside. From the south to the north, you can walk all the way to the top of the hillside.Then from the top down is a vertical cliff of about ten meters.From a distance, it looks like the raised horns of a cow.

Below Luoxingyan, there is a lake that looks about [-] square meters. The water in the lake looks crystal clear, and from time to time, some fish can be seen swimming in it.The water source of this lake is gathered from a stream next to the Falling Star Rock, and then flows into the ocean from a small channel on the other side.

At this time, the five people who were in power on the island had already stood on the top of Luoxingyan, while everyone else was standing around the lake, looking up at the five people in power.

Look at the time, an hour is almost up.And all the people on the island who are interested in participating have gathered here now. Those who know that they can't compete for the title of brave are now also gathered around, ready to witness the birth of a new generation of brave.

At this time, they saw those merchants also coming over, standing by the lake and looking forward to it.

Sister Quan squeezed her fist slightly, and said, "The people outside seem to be very curious. How should I say it? Drive them away?"

Regarding Miss Boxing's suggestion, the rest of them thought for a while.Among them, Uncle Dun nodded and said: "Let's drive them away. In case something happens later. The selection of brave men has always been a matter of our island, and there is no such thing as outsiders."

Thor nodded and agreed: "Okay, then drive them away! But someone needs to take care of them. So who shall we send to take care of them now?"

As soon as this question was raised, the five people in power were also stunned.

After all, guarding needs manpower, and there are so many people on the other side, at least ten or so islanders are enough, right?In this case, will these islanders have no way to participate in or observe this selection?In this way, is it equivalent to breaking the rules?

Grandma Jian sighed, and said, "Forget it, if we choose a brave man, we also need to go to the mainland to publicize the reappearance of the brave man. In the past, it was not convenient for us to meet outsiders. The resurrected devil came to our island to destroy it, and now the devil has been resurrected with a high probability, so this kind of thing is not important anymore."

Now that Granny Jian has said so, everyone is silent.

Afterwards, Shiozawa cleared his throat slightly, walked to the front, opened his hands to everyone below, and said, "Everyone is very punctual. And keeping time is the most basic element of a brave man! In addition , an excellent hero needs to be bold and careful, kind and brave. Next, our hero selection will officially begin. Although only five years have passed since the previous hero selection, I believe there should be some This is the first time for people to actually participate in this selection. Since this is the case, let me introduce the specific rules first."

After all, Shiozawa pointed to the lake below and said——

"This lake is a lake of purification handed down from the first generation of brave men. It contains a sacred beast that signed a contract with the first generation of brave men and is willing to protect this island and the brave men of all ages forever. Therefore, the most fundamental requirement is whether you can be qualified to become a brave man. It is to get the approval of the fairy in the lake."

"And the fairy in the lake has multiple ways of selecting you, and she doesn't fix a certain form. It is possible that the fairy in the lake has selected the items you are good at for the test. But it is also possible that she has chosen your weakest method to let you Facing the toughest challenges."

"It can be said that a large part of the examination items is based on luck. However, if we really want to protect the world and protect the fire of human civilization, isn't luck a part of the investigation? What we have to do will be a Very difficult cause, even if it requires a little bit of luck, we have to do it."
