Gold is Justice

Arrow knew that his words were beginning to have an effect.

Coco over there lowered his head, as if he was considering the reliability of this matter.

But after a while, she raised her head again, looked at Ai Luo with a very suspicious look, and said coldly: "If you can earn more money than food, drink and lodging by accepting the task, why don't I take it by myself?" Entrust, but also rely on you? Rely on the guild?"

Airl waved his hand: "If you think your communication skills are great, you can discover tasks keenly, and you can easily gain the trust of the client, then I think you can indeed find the client by yourself. In fact, many temporary The resident adventurers are indeed looking for tasks and commissions by themselves."

Seeing Airl's indifferent appearance, the corner of Ke Ke's mouth twitched involuntarily.

She continued to take a half step back, and said as if she was trying to be brave: "You...you must have lied to me somewhere! Although I can't think of where you want to lie to me now...but you must be trying to lie to me! of!"

Airl suddenly felt that the little girl was quite cute.

Such a stubborn look, and this look of not trusting others, but not knowing where others are digging a hole is really interesting.

But the business still needs to be discussed. Ai Luo wiped his mouth and continued: "I will not force others, and I will not force you either. If you are willing to join my guild and become a member of Mermaid Song, then The doors of our guild are always open to you."

"But if you still think I can't be trusted, you are welcome to be a guest anytime and anywhere, and have something to eat."

After finishing speaking, Airl also took a step back, leaving the undead soldier's control.The moment he left, Brad rushed forward to stand in front of Arrow, shield held up, obeying his duty as a fighter.

Arrow moved aside, looking at the little girl over Brad's shield.

The young necromancer pinched a dead branch, and his lips were tightly pressed together.She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a stalemate like this for about 1 minute...

The 12-year-old girl turned around and ran away without looking back.

"Wait a moment."

Airl took off his coat and threw it at the undead soldier, just hanging on its head.

"It's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold."

Ke Ke didn't speak, but the undead soldier picked up the big robe, spread his legs one by one, and melted into the darkness of the distant countryside in a blink of an eye.

The crisis was finally resolved.

Brad breathed a sigh of relief and put down the shield in his hand.

Buffy landed on her partner's shoulder, clutching her chest and said, "(Fairy speaking), President, this kid is very stubborn. And he's also very naive."

I'm not sensible...

"Oh. Go back."

Airl turned, feeling the coolness of the night.

Well, it's almost autumn, and the weather is getting cold.I hope the child doesn't freeze.

And three days later in the morning, when Airl opened the gate...

When he looked at the little girl in a robe who was curled up sleeping beside the gate...

"From today, the daily living expenses will become 1 copper and 7 iron."

Chapter 12 Apologize for doing something wrong

"Although... I would like to be a member of the Mermaid Song Guild. But...but!"

Coco, who was sitting on the bar chair, looked cautious. After all, she was too short, and the wide robe made her less intimidating.

"If...you want me to do something I don't want to do...I will definitely refuse! And...I will run away immediately! Do you believe it?"

Airl nodded, with a signature smile on his face: "I know, I know, I won't chain you with my legs on your body. So, you are welcome to join my guild, from now on you are Song of the Mermaid a member of the

The expression on Ke Ke's face is very strange, maybe she doesn't know whether she has entered the den of thieves or has someone to rely on when she joins this guild?

But that's okay, Arrow considers himself a businessman.Since it is a businessman, as long as it can generate benefits, other things are not important.

Now there is a fighter and a magician in my guild.As far as the basic task components are concerned, some simple tasks can already be handled.The goal in the future should be to be able to send a team first, and not need to be accompanied every time as a standard.

After breakfast, Arrow said to Brad and Buffy: "Today, I will trouble the two of you to be stationed in the guild. If you have a task, you can take it first, but don't talk about money. I will evaluate the task when I come back. Find out how much you should be charged. Other than that, you guys just clean and clean the rooms."

After ordering, Ai Luo looked at Ke Ke and smiled: "Then, you and I go out for a while."

Ke Ke is obviously not good at dealing with Airl, the arrogance just now went down a bit, and she shrank her neck and said, "You...you want me...to do it?"

"What else can I do? Go and apologize."

Airl put away his smile and put on a serious face——

"Even if it wasn't you who stole things later, you used your little white to steal things from many people in the town in the early stage. If you stole something, you have to apologize."

Hearing this, Coco had a very unhappy expression on his face.She muttered: "Is it necessary? You have to apologize for taking something... Before, no one in the guild ever said that you have to apologize for taking things from ordinary people."

"cocoa."

Airl's tone became serious all of a sudden, which made Ke Ke involuntarily twitch.

"I don't care how your previous guild handled it, but in my guild, I must ensure that the reputation of my guild is within a range that I can control. And I must also ensure that my guild members can In this small town, if you walk upright, sit upright. You must admit your mistakes when you steal something, and you must apologize if you hurt someone who should not be hurt. Whether it is a magician, a warrior or an ordinary person, this is a principle of life. Brad over there And Buffy, you also heard clearly."

Ai Luo has always maintained a smiling attitude, but now this serious face makes Coco's neck shrink inward.

After the lesson was over, Airl took Coco out and walked towards the home of the mayor of Round Cheese.

Although he said so, Arrow knew that it was not easy.

Let Coco apologize, on the one hand, it does have the idea of ​​shaping the little girl's outlook on life.After all, a necromancer with distorted morality is not a good thing.

On the other hand, if I want to send Ke Ke out to do missions in the future, it is impossible to hide her identity as a necromancer all the time, and I must let her get the understanding of the townspeople.

But... that's where the difficulty lies.

"What did you say?!"

The first reaction of the mayor of Round Cheese after seeing Coco has already proved what Airl is worried about.

Airl smiled, just about to explain.But the round cheese seemed to be bitten by a mouse on the buttocks. It rolled and crawled several times, until it rolled to the back of the desk in the mayor's office. look this way.

Ke Ke lowered her head, unconsciously moved behind Ai Luo, and stretched out her little hand to grab his skirt.

Airl quickly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, mayor. The undead soldier was indeed summoned by my guild members... and she did steal the things. But now she has become a member of my guild. I brought her here to apologize today."

As he said that, Airl pulled Coco who was behind him to his front: "Quickly, apologize to the mayor! Good boy should apologize now."

Frightened by Airl, Keke muttered, hesitated for a long time before bowing her head to the round cheese: "I'm sorry...Mr. Mayor. I won't do it again, please forgive me..."

Round Cheese looked at Coco carefully, and said hesitantly, "She...is she really a necromancer? Really?"

Sure enough, he was still afraid...that's why Airl didn't bring Brad with him.If such a big man stands here, no matter who faces him, he will be under pressure.Not to mention adding a necromancer.

and so……

"Coco, come on."

"...are you really coming?"

"Come."

As a last resort, Ke Ke could only urge the twig in his hand, and soon, the undead soldiers reappeared in the mayor's office.

After confirming the undead soldier again with his own eyes, the mayor of Round Cheese panicked again.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Mayor... please... forgive me, I'm sorry!"

Coco bowed at ninety degrees, showing Airl's teachings.

And the undead soldier is now kneeling on one knee before the mayor, with both hands pressing the sword in front of him, like a polite knight, full of the most sincere repentance.

Humans are afraid of the unknown at first.

But as long as the contact time is long, the adaptability of human beings will often surprise many monsters.

After about a minute or two, Round Cheese saw that Coco and the undead soldiers had no intention of attacking him, so he boldly got out from behind the desk.

After waiting for a while, he finally fully confirmed the apology made by Ke Ke and the undead soldier, and he became bolder in an instant.

"What are you kidding! You know how to repent now? When you stole things and caused us so much trouble and when you hurt others, why didn't you think about repenting?!"

Round Cheese sat on the chair and slapped the table.

Coco gritted her teeth lightly, and her head that was originally lowered was now raised a little.But Airl snorted softly.

Hearing this snort, Ke Ke hurriedly lowered her head again: "I'm really... sorry! So I'm here to apologize today... If there is anything I can do to make it up, I will definitely do it!"

Ai Luo smiled appropriately: "Similarly, since she is already a member of my guild, the guild will also shoulder her responsibilities. Boss, just tell us, how can we forgive us?"

Round Cheese rolled his eyes, touched his mustache, and said arrogantly: "Since you want to apologize, you must have the sincerity of apologizing! You have to know that the things you stole before add up to nothing. There is one... no, two gold coins are as much! If you, or your guild, are willing to compensate for the loss, then naturally there is no problem. I can also explain the reason to the townspeople and ask them to forgive you."

As soon as the number of two gold coins comes out, Coco is about to explode!But Ai Luo still pressed the little girl's head well, keeping her lowered, and said with a smile, "Two gold coins? This amount is indeed a bit much."

The chubby mayor should have been completely used to the undead soldiers. He walked slowly in front of the soldiers, like a king accepting the audience of a knight, with a big belly: "So, do you know how much you stole? But stole Things should be paid for! I think President Arrow should be very clear about this."

"Hahaha, of course it is clear. The amount of two gold coins is quite a lot, but it is not impossible. But, can I pay compensation in another way?"

Round Cheese looked at Airl vigilantly. After all, after thinking about it, he still regretted selling him the largest house in the town for fifteen gold coins.

"Boss, in addition to managing the affairs of Pelican Town, you also sell properties and pies in Pelican Town part-time, right?"

As soon as pie was mentioned, the owner's vigilant expression immediately changed into a proud color, and his whole eyebrows beamed: "Of course! The pie of the round cheese family is a secret recipe of the family! Long before my father was elected mayor of the town, many Years ago, our family had the best way to make ancestral pies! Let me tell you, our family’s pies are something that even the small spirits in the Unicorn Bar are full of praise, and they have been steadily supplied to various dining spots in the town for a long time! "

But at this point, Round Cheese's expression became a little depressed again: "But unfortunately, the town is getting worse every year, and now the only dining place here is the Unicorn Bar... Sigh... huh?!"

Suddenly, Round Cheese raised his head and looked at Airl, his eyes flashed brightly: "You mean, do you mean that your guild will form a sales channel with the most delicious cheese pie family in this town?! Tell you, you absolutely do not Will regret it!"

Arrow just wanted to say "yes", but unfortunately, the mayor's head is not stupid——

"No, no, wait, wait, how many people are there in total in your guild now? The daily food expenses are less than two copper coins, right? How long will it take you to pay off my cheese pie? No, no, no, It can't be that simple, you have to think of other ways to compensate me."

There was no way, Ai Luo could only go forward and spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Boss, how long does it usually take you to earn two gold coins?"

Round Cheese thought for a while: "About two quarters, what's the matter?"

Airl: "Then if I let you earn two gold coins in a quarter or so, can we settle our accounts? Would you also like to help my members speak well to other townspeople in Pelican Town? The little necromancer at home?"

The mayor looked at Airl as if he was looking at a monster, and Ke Ke, who was bowing next to him, also raised his head now, with an expression of "Is our president a fool?"

"If you can make me earn two gold coins in a quarter... good! If you can really do it, then I will treat you as paying back the money! But what if you can't?"

Ai Luo laughed and said, "How much you earned in that quarter is still the same as what you earned, and I will still return you 2 gold coins when it expires."
