Gold is Justice

In contrast, Coco stepped forward very neatly, took a stack of gold coins with each hand and stuffed them into the arms of Cream and Brad, turned around and picked up her ten coins, and said with a smile: "Brother President asked you Accept it, you just accept it! Why are you talking so much nonsense? Right, elder brother!"

Ai Luo smiled and touched the little girl's head, it's really good to have a tacit understanding.

Afterwards, he handed another stack of gold coins to Brad, and said, "This is Buffy's share. I don't think Buffy can handle that much, so you can hold it for her first. Hey, Buffy! You don’t have to be so cautious when you want to spend money, you also have a small savings!”

Buffy flew to Brad's palm, looked at the stack of gold coins that were almost the same size as her, and curled her lips: "You humans really like this kind of shiny gold."

Arrow smiled.

Looking back, he saw that the round cheese over there had already started distributing gold coins, so he also picked up the last stack and handed it to the sanctuary.

However, what greeted him was the pastor's slightly apologetic smile and a gesture of rejection.

"Uncle Sanbing? This is what you deserve. Or...do you think I don't give enough?"

San Cake smiled, sighed slowly, and said, "President Airl, don't forget that since I am a temporary member of Song of the Mermaid, it is impossible for me to share your labor income. So Just don't care about me."

Ai Luo's expression was a little angry, he stuffed the gold coin into the arms of the sanctuary again, and said resolutely: "How can this work? You have been taking care of your own food expenses in our guild for the past three months. I was already ashamed of paying too much money. And this time the guild war, you have undoubtedly contributed the most! If you still refuse to accept this little money, it means that you look down on our mermaid song, Look down on me, Arlo Garcia?"

There was a bit of embarrassment on the face of the sanctuary: "Where? I didn't mean to look down on you. It's really...well, speaking of it, I'm the one who is the least qualified to accept this money..."

"You have to accept it today. Otherwise, I won't let you go!"

Seeing Airl's resolute attitude, San Cake frowned slightly, and gave a troubled smile.After repeated refusals, seeing that Airl's attitude was still so resolute, the sanctuary could only sigh, and put the ten gold coins into his bosom.

"In that case, I appreciate the president's kindness."

After distributing the salaries of the members, Ai Luo also felt a little happy seeing the smiles on everyone's faces except the sanctuary.

Although I said I was happy, but I really thought about it, I still feel a bit cheated... After careful calculation, the ticket revenue is only 506 gold coins, of which 200 winners' bonuses have to be removed, that is, there are 306 gold coins left.Afterwards, after subtracting the 30 gold coins that were given to the giant mountain guild that day, and the 50 gold coins that were distributed as wages, after calculating this guild war, Song of the Mermaid only earned 226 gold coins.

However, when the tax is calculated this fall, it is still calculated according to the tax of 506 gold coins... What a pit!Why are taxes so expensive?No wonder there are so many guilds who like to evade taxes and conceal reports.It's really all money!

Fortunately, in addition to the normal ticket income, there is also opening income.

盘口总计收入750金1银3铜，按照税收上缴67%，可以得到的合法收入为247金5银4铜2铁。也就是说，这次公会战争在祛除所有的支出之外，净收入为473金5银4铜2铁。

According to this calculation, if there is another guild war at the end of this year, wouldn't it mean that you can directly complete your mission goal?

Thinking of this, the corners of Airl's mouth could not help but curl up.Seeing that I can complete the task a year ahead of schedule, this kind of thinking is also very refreshing!

Happy things should be celebrated!Ah, no, you can't just think about celebrating when you have money.Now I have just completed the general tasks, and I still have to work hard, so that I can complete the tasks in one go!

Arrow was all smiles, talking to his family members, while watching that the round cheese had roughly distributed the financial rewards.

Every townsman got some more or less, and many shops in this guild war also made a lot of money, so everyone's face was filled with smiles.

Fortunately, otherwise, Airl really didn't think that a mere 500 gold coins would be enough to get rid of the people in this small town.However, with the big profits this time, the second guild war at the end of this year, they may ask for a higher share of funds.This is what Airl needs to consider...

"Hey, let me tell you, have you discussed it?"

But just as Airl was thinking, a voice suddenly came out from among the beaming townspeople.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the place where the voice came from, only to see a man wearing a thick mink fur coat, with a face that everyone present owed him hundreds of gold coins and did not pay back, rushing towards everyone in a grandiose manner. in the eyes.

It was none other than the owner of Schwann Castle——Viscount Rich Wald.

Seeing that everyone stopped laughing and looking at him, Viscount Rich slowly stood up from his seat and walked slowly towards the rostrum.Behind him were also four bodyguards, which made his short body look extraordinarily funny.

Coming to the rostrum, Viscount Rich stood still, turned around in a posture he thought was very handsome, his stern gaze swept across everyone present, and finally settled on Airl's face.

He tilted his head, pursed his mouth, and said in a very fierce tone: "Pelican Town, Song of the Mermaid, do you think that my business is over? Is it true that there is no relationship between me and you?" ?”

Airl laughed wryly in his stomach, knowing that this guy is here to cause trouble.

But there is no way, people name him and want to find him, so he can only bite the bullet and go out now.

"Viscount Rich? How are you doing this winter?"

Seeing Airol's commercial smile, Rich snorted again: "Okay! I'm living a wonderful life! I can't live in the castle I bought for a lot of money, but I can only live in my house. In that old mansion, I endured the cold winter wind and finally waited until the current spring! Tell me, is my winter going well or not?!"

The townspeople fell silent, everyone silently collected their money, looked at this domineering nobleman, and whispered.

Seeing that Ai Luo didn't speak, Viscount Rich snorted heavily through his nose, and said again: "You Mermaid Song did a good job. You made a lot of money by using this winter? How much did you say just now? Earn more than 500 gold coins, right? Really comfortable! What about me?!"

"I thought you were too busy in the winter, so I didn't bother you. But now it's winter, and your guild war should be over! President Arrow, if you still have a little bit of conscience , should I find a way to solve my entrustment? My entrustment has been blocked by you for almost half a year! When are you going to help me completely remove the monsters in my castle?! When am I going to Only then can I live in my city guard!"

Seeing that the viscount started to get angry all of a sudden, Arrow couldn't help but put away his smile, and said in a very serious tone: "Viscount Rich, we should have already said that before, right? We are helping you clean up the castle, The castle has been resolved, but the content below the castle is not under the control of our entrustment contract..."

"I don't care! I've spent half a year on this matter! I don't want to wait any longer! I spent a lot of money to buy the castle, but I can't even live in it now. I'm already angry enough, don't tell me anymore Any reason! I don't want to hear it!"

Following Viscount Rich's order, the four bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward, each of them drew their weapons, looking like they wanted to do it right away—"In short! If you don't help me clean up my In the case of Swan Castle, hand over all the money you made by cheating me before! No, you can’t just hand over the money and it’s over, you must compensate me for the economic loss! You must...must...give me ten extra coins Gold coins are used as interest and loss compensation!"

If he wants to solve it, Ai Luo feels that he is not short of money now, and this gold coin is still affordable.

But as the president of a guild, he knew that he absolutely couldn't just compromise like this.

Of course, those powerful guild members behind him are also the strength that he will not compromise on this.

As Airl took a step forward without fear, Brad and Buffy were already standing firmly beside him.The undead soldier in Coco's hand was already standing standing with a rainbow sword in his hand.At some point, Cream also appeared behind these people, ready to go.

threaten?Airl is really not afraid of any threats now.

"President, what is going on? What happened to this gentleman?"

The scene didn't know much about the Swan Castle incident, that is, the sanctuary.Seeing that the crowd suddenly became tense, he immediately stood between the two sides, mediating in the middle.

"Your Excellency the High Priest? You must be what they call the High Priest! You must help me! I, I have been cheated out of a lot of money by this guild! But they are still unwilling to complete the task until now, but they just returned a pair of It makes sense! The members of Mermaid Song are a bunch of liars! Everyone in this guild is a group of big liars!"

The sanctuary had a gloomy face, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, I'm also one of the members of Song of the Mermaid now."

Rich immediately shouted: "Many people in Song of the Mermaid are bad people! There are only a few good people! Your Excellency the High Priest, you came here just to wash away the filth and dirt of this guild! Please do it for me. I am the master! Please, help me!"

Faced with Rich's current attitude, San Cake could only sigh.He looked at Airl, and after thinking about it, Airl sighed at the townspeople watching the excitement, "Come on, let's go back to the guild."

Airl shouted to stop, so Song of the Mermaid also canceled this tense emotion.Viscount Rich seemed to have found his only support, and on the way to the guild, he kept emphasizing all the grievances and sins he had suffered.Speaking of later, it seems that he has really become the only good person in the world, and the others are all extremely sinister villains, especially Song of the Mermaid, who hides filth to a certain extent, and the black ones even the strongest It's the same as the gathering place of black-hearted businessmen who can't be washed clean by the big bright magic.

Arriving at the guild, Airl arranged for Rich and his guards to sit down and rest in the rest area, while he and the sanctuary walked aside to discuss.

"So... your guild took on this commission, but you still haven't been able to complete it?"

Seeing the skeptical eyes of San Cake, Airl could only shrug his shoulders and said, "Uncle San Cake, it's not that I don't want to finish it, it's just that it's really difficult to finish. As far as I know, there should be a castle in that castle right now." The ghosts of the mother and daughter are entrenched. This should only be considered a good solution. The real problem is in the basement of the castle. We don’t know what kind of monster it is. But I know it just by intuition, it’s definitely not What an easy thing to deal with!"

Shengbing lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head, looked at Airl with reproachful eyes, and said in the tone of an elder to a junior: "It's not easy to deal with, so I won't deal with it? Now that you have accepted the entrustment, then you can You must complete the task. If you can’t finish it, you can refund the money, which is also reasonable. But you have taken other people’s money, but you have never helped them solve the problem, which is ultimately your fault.”

After being taught a lesson by the sanctuary for no reason, Airl pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.But no matter what he said, he didn't talk back, he just felt uncomfortable.

Seeing Airl's current expression, San Cake sighed, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and said, "Since you have accepted the task, you should deal with it properly. There may not be a corresponding way to deal with Song of the Mermaid before. , you procrastinate, I don’t blame you. But now that I’m here, it should be resolved immediately.”

Arrow tilted his head and said, "But Uncle San Cake, we really don't know what that thing is. Besides, that Rich's attitude really makes me very uncomfortable, as if the whole world is centered on him." look."

"Then we have to find a way to solve it. Let's wait until tomorrow, and we will go to Swan Castle again. Not to mention anything else, I am quite experienced in dealing with ghosts."

The sanctuary paused for a moment, then looked at Airl who was still a little impatient, and said quietly: "Do you feel that I have exposed your identity, so you don't have to hide it from me? Feel comfortable? You can make as much noise as you want? "

In a word, it made Airl's face blush, and he quickly put away the pouting expression just now, readjusted his emotions and mentality, and said sincerely in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Uncle San Cake, I know wrong."

There is an older and powerful person at his side as a backer, and this backer is kind and tolerant to himself even though he knows his biggest secret.Airl admitted that such a comfortable environment made him feel a little relaxed when facing the pastor, and he would unconsciously have some thoughts of wanting to rely on him emotionally.

However, after this reminder from the Holy Cake, Airl instantly sobered up.His expression was very dignified, and he nodded seriously.Seeing that Airl recognized this, Sanchuang couldn't help sighing.After all, it is impossible for him to be here all the time to help this kid watch the situation...

"Alright, now that we have decided to deal with the matter of Schwane Castle, let us hurry up and prepare. President Arrow, please go and talk to this viscount, we will set off to deal with the matter of Schwane Castle tomorrow evening Ghost incident. Please rest assured."

Now that the sanctuary said so, Arrow also nodded and walked towards Viscount Rich.

Although the short fat man was still a little bit aggrieved, seeing Airl's serious eyes and the smile of the sanctuary behind him, he thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it! I'll come back tomorrow, I hope when the time comes Can get a satisfactory answer. Let's go!"

Sending off Viscount Rich and his followers, the Song of the Mermaid finally regained its tranquility.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After dealing with some sundries and entertaining the townspeople who came to thank and say hello, the people of Mermaid Song entered the dinner time, gathered around the dining table, and after chatting a few words about the grand occasion of the guild war, they changed the topic to Come up to Swan Castle.

"That viscount is really rude. You human viscounts really don't have a good thing. Brad, isn't the name viscount a synonym for villains?"

Buffy's human language is already fluent, and apart from some weird sentence breaks, everything seems relatively natural.

Brad put a bowl of vegetable salad in front of the flower elf, and after thinking about it, he said, "Isn't it? It's just that I didn't see the face of the Viscount very often... nobles, maybe it's like this. "

Cream picked up a sausage and took a bite in his mouth. He shook his legs and said, "I said Uncle San Cake, don't underestimate that monster in the basement. That thing is definitely not something easy to deal with. We threw the torch down, but it didn't take long for the torch to go out quickly. It's very wicked!"

Shengbing lowered his head and thought for a while, and after a while, he turned his head and looked at Airl beside him: "President Airl, can you tell me all the things you know about Schwanstein Castle carefully? Listening to that Viscount Rich alone, I don't know what to believe and what not to believe."

Arrow nodded, and while eating, he explained all the events about Schwanstein Castle from beginning to end in detail.When the sanctuary asked who Gu Liduo was, he didn't hide anything, and explained everything about Gu Liduo completely.

After listening to all the answers, the sanctuary took a bite of the egg and put it in his mouth for a while.After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Excuse me, can you show me the diary?"

"No problem. The diary is on the shelf behind the counter."

Upon hearing Airl's order, Cream, who was closest to the counter, immediately got up, took down the diary, and respectfully handed it in front of the wafer.

Opening the diary, the holy cake frowned the first moment it saw the words recorded in it.He flipped through a few pages, and after confirming that the words were all in an ancient language that he could not understand at all, he simply closed the diary: "I didn't expect President Airl to be so knowledgeable that he could even understand this ancient language. Sigh... ...But this is a bit strange...President Airl, are the handwritings of the mother and daughter really recorded here? According to what you said, the mother and daughter wrote in the same diary, but the other party didn't know each other at all. Knowing that the other party wrote in the diary? Isn't this a bit strange?"

Airl nodded, and replied, "I'm also a little surprised, but the portraits in the room do have portraits of a family of three. Moreover, according to the records in the diary, the mother had already started to lose her mind at a later stage. The specific reason is unknown, but it is impossible to predict what will happen after losing my mind. Maybe it is because I am too crazy to see my daughter's notes?"

To be honest, Airl also knew that his conjecture was too weird, and only completely crazy would he think it was a fact.

Right now though, any mentality that ignores the number of enemies is dangerous.Instead of guessing whether the number of ghosts will decrease, it is better to determine the number of the other party to the greatest extent and be fully prepared.

The sanctuary returned the diary to Cream and asked him to put it away.After everyone was seated, he continued: "Let's not talk about the monster in the basement. It should be certain that there is a ghost in the room on the top floor of Swan Castle. If the monster is too powerful, I can ask The Holy See of Light asked for help and launched a large-scale luminous circle to kill. But I can deal with the ghost first. How about this, we will set off tomorrow evening to solve the problem of the ghost first, is that okay?"

Airl understood that it shouldn't be difficult to deal with ghosts with the power of a high priest like the Holy Wake.If it is really said that the ghost problem can be solved first, then it is better to explain to Viscount Rich. As for the monsters in the basement... If the Holy See of Light can really appear at that time, that is not a bad thing.

"Okay, now that it's been agreed, let's eat and drink well now. Tomorrow, Song of the Mermaid will not accept any missions, and everyone is ready. Everyone has watched the entire guild war from the sidelines. I believe that The way of fighting between the two guilds is also a good way for everyone to learn. I will also find a way to buy some equipment for you to upgrade tomorrow. Come to our official guild event in Mermaid Song."

I said a few words to let everyone understand that Song of the Mermaid should calm down and start working again.After seeing the confident expressions on the faces of these members, Airl nodded slightly, smiled again, and arranged for everyone to eat.

After washing up, Song of the Mermaid, who had been busy for a long time, finally began to rest.Adjust your state well and prepare for the next day's fierce battle.

——1302年3月2日，伙食费：-2铜1铁，门票总收入：1012金，胜利者奖金：-200金，鹈鹕镇平分金额：-506金，宴请巨山：-30金，工资支付：-50金，开盘合法收入：247金5银4铜2铁，结余：477金8银4铜2铁（赃款结余：34金7银7铜）——

A sunny day is like a symbol to Airl.

Such a fine weather really makes people feel refreshed. In addition, when he saw the sanctuary standing in the sun and bathing in the light, he felt more confident.

Throughout the day, Arrow shuttled back and forth in the town, visiting the townspeople and looking at the shops that had opened.

Spring has just arrived, and some shops are not open, and even if they are open, there are no materials to buy.For example, in Cora's healing clinic, the materials used to make healing potions haven't grown yet, so he can't purchase them.This means that Song of the Mermaid has to go through the Schwanstein process without healing items and mana replenishing items... To be honest, this makes Airl a little uneasy.

Fortunately, Boss Longstick's tool shop opened.There is nothing else, but the iron block is still there.Arrow immediately asked for a double breastplate that Cream and Coco could wear.Although the defensive ability of this breastplate is not as good as that of Brad's slime armor, it still adds a little defensive ability.
