Gold is Justice

However, although I have no problem, what about these members?If at that time they are also like Uncle San Francisco, in the course of a certain mission...!

Once this idea came to his mind, Airl's face changed suddenly, and he quickly shook his head desperately to throw this idea behind him.

He clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, don't think about these messy things. Everyone, get ready, spring is here, and it shouldn't be long before someone will come to entrust the farm work. Everyone is exercising. Exercise and don't let yourself slack off."

Since Airl said so, the members did not have any objections.After muttering a few words around, everyone dispersed one after another, and went to work and exercise.

That's right, it's spring now, and I believe it will be busy soon. If something really happens, we have to wait until Viscount Norris starts to act before we can take countermeasures...

Arrow thought so.

Likewise, he did the same.

Responding to all changes without change, relying on his roots in Pelican Town in the past half a year, he is confident that Song of the Mermaid can definitely survive this time of crisis!

Yes, he is truly confident.At the same time, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Viscount Norris said. It seemed that he should indeed invest in the industry in Pelican Town so that the town could rejuvenate.If the population of Pelican Town can achieve positive growth, then there will be more opportunities to make money.

but……

In the next period of time, something completely unexpected by Airl happened quietly.

It didn't come suddenly, but it was so straightforward and unstoppable.

At this point, when Ai Luo opened the account books in his hand again early in the morning, this thing that had been happening slowly for a long time hit the face of the young president like a thunderbolt.

According to the account book, Song of the Mermaid hadn't even received a commission for ten days.

----

"Coco, Cream, Brad, Buffy, come here! Let's have a little meeting!"

Early in the morning, Airl shouted out with a blank task sign in his hand, his voice was obviously not very good.

Hearing the president's call, the members gathered one after another and formed a circle around the table.

Ai Luo put the blank mission entrustment letter in his hand on the table, frowning: "Is my eyes delusional or my memory is fading? Why haven't our guild received a single entrustment these days? Last year No matter how bad the business is, there will be a job in two or three days, isn't it the busy season for farming?"

Seeing Airl's frowning expression, Cream shrugged his shoulders and said, "President, you shouldn't be in a hurry about work, right? But we've been training outside for a while, so the guild doesn't care. It didn't take long. Hmm...could we not be in the guild when someone came?"

Ai Luo looked at the expressions of these members, obviously, he did not develop any business guild members.This also leads to the need to master all of one's work, and there is no room for laziness.

Seeing this, Airl let out a long breath, shook his head and said: "Anyway, our guild has not opened a single since March, which is very strange. When you walk around the town , Did you find anything strange?"

"Strange thing?" Cream scratched his cheek, "No, the townspeople are very polite, there is no problem."

Ke Ke on the side also said: "Yes, yes, brother president, uncles and aunts are very polite and treat us very well. But if there is something strange, I think they treat us like It's a bit of a life."

"Birth points?"

For a moment, some bad thoughts flashed through Airl's mind.

Brad also nodded now, and said: "Polite, it's very polite. But he just won't play with us. If I met the son of the Xue Lite family before, I could always talk to the pair of brothers." Playing and playing with each other. But now as soon as I show up at their door, their parents will come out and chat with me, and then send me away. It seems that they are afraid that I will eat those brothers. I."

Buffy blew two breaths into Brad's ear: "Sometimes I'm really afraid that you will eat me in one breath. Especially when you are sleeping, snoring and opening your mouth wide."

Feeling itchy ears, Brad smiled a little embarrassedly and lowered his head.

This big man is shy, but Airl feels very bad now!

After thinking about it, he directly announced the end of the meeting, packed up his account books, walked out of the guild gate, and walked towards the mayor's office.

Along the way, the townspeople saw that Arrow was still smiling and full of kindness.

Generally speaking, there seems to be no difference here.But Airl knew that if the current problem could not be solved well, then sooner or later the problem would explode!

Soon, he came to the cheese shop run by Round Cheese.Coincidentally, the mayor is currently chatting with the little liquor boss who came to buy round cheese through the sales window.After seeing Airl approaching, the chat between the two stopped immediately, and they looked at Airl in unison.

"Oh, President Arrow? Why did you think of coming to my place today? Do you want to try the freshest cheese pie this year? The boss of delicious little spirits is here to buy!"

Airl smiled, trying to put on a mildly conciliatory expression.

He leaned in front of the sales window and looked inside, took a strong sniff, and nodded: "It really smells so good~~! Such exquisite food should be tasted by the whole town!"

After the mayor smiled smugly, Airl went on to say: "So, since spring is here, those children should also come to school. As long as those children come to school again, the proud work of the mayor boss Then more people can taste it!"

Round Cheese, who was still smiling just now, immediately pulled down his original smiling expression after hearing Airl's words.

He looked at Ai Luo in a daze, and then glanced meaningfully at the little liquor next to him, as if he wanted to say something, but it was really hard to say.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Even though Airl had more or less guessed something, he still kept a smile on his face as much as possible.

"This one……"

Round cheese seems a bit incoherent.After he hesitated for a while, Xiao Liquor at the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly: "Yesterday, the Rice family moved out."

This topic is a bit different from what Ai Luo thought in his mind. After a moment of silence, he said in disbelief: "The Rice family? What's the matter? Didn't he always say that he was tired of life in the city and wanted to Retiring comfortably in Pelican Town? How?"

Little Liquor sighed slowly, and said: "Maybe President Arrow has noticed it more or less, then I will tell the truth. Because of the monster in the basement of Schwann Castle, now, our entire Pelican Everyone in the town was panicked. Before the high priest incident, although we more or less knew that there seemed to be something under the Swan Castle, we didn't pay much attention to it. Because we all think that your guild is an expert in destroying monsters, even if If that thing really rushed out, you Song of the Mermaid should have a way to deal with it."

Having said that, Xiao Liquor paused for a moment, and turned his gaze to the round cheese.It seems that he doesn't want to bear the burden of telling the truth by himself.

Round Cheese was a little embarrassed, coughed intentionally, and said, "But this time, it's a pity that the High Priest is really a good person... We all miss him. But that's exactly the problem."

"With the help of the high priest, Song of the Mermaid is still defeated in front of this monster, which means that Song of the Mermaid is really...well...President Arrow, you understand me Do you mean it?"

Although the tone of the two men was very gentle, in Airl's ears, he still had a feeling that his heart was being pierced by a knife one by one.That feeling of powerlessness, even the courage to refute.

"So, many of us began to worry about when this monster would attack our town. Some people couldn't stand the fear, just like the Rice family, and moved away. They are already the first of this month. There are three."

Chapter 220: Honey Pot

Having said that, Round Cheese paused again, and glanced at him as if discussing with Little Spirits.After receiving the supportive gaze from Little Spirits, Round Cheese continued——

"Then... these words, President Airl, don't be too angry. That is to say... some townspeople have already started rumors that there were no monsters in the past for so long, and now there are monsters when Song of the Mermaid is gone. , so these monsters are most likely summoned by Song of the Mermaid, and you want to use this to blackmail the townspeople of our small town to give them money to deal with it... That's it."

No business reason, found.

Airl shook his head slowly, and said with a smile: "Who spread this rumor? How could our Adventurer's Guild do such a thing?"

Round Cheese quickly apologized, spread his hands, and said loudly: "Of course! Of course I completely believe in President Arrow! After all, you are kind and smart, and you never forget when you make money. Give us a hand. But President Arrow, you have to take care of my current difficulties~~ After all, your mermaid song is on the cusp of the storm, and it’s not good for me to openly help you in front of the townspeople Say something nice, right?"

Little Liquor next to him nodded lightly: "The most important thing you need to do, Mermaid Song, is to find a way to get rid of that monster. The faster you get rid of it, the faster your credit will be restored."

Eliminate monsters?This is easier said than done.

As Round Cheese said just now, even with Uncle Sanctuary, Song of the Mermaid ended in a disastrous defeat with one death in battle. Under the current circumstances, unless the new force can be replenished immediately, there is no possibility of eradicating the monster. ?

This problem now weighed heavily in front of Airl, becoming a mountain he had to climb.

But when Arrow was thinking about it, a townsman ran over in a hurry.After seeing Airl, the townsman was slightly stunned, but he immediately lay down in front of the window sill and shouted at the mayor inside——

"Mayor! Mayor, hurry up and take a look! There is a good thing! A great thing is coming!"

"Good thing?"

Round Cheese wiped the flour off his hands with his apron, and asked a strange question——

"What good thing?"

"Oh! Just hurry up! Such a good thing is really rare!"

Since the townspeople urged it so much, it was hard to refuse Round Cheese.He closed the shop after saying hello, and after a while, he changed into clean clothes and came out.Seeing the mayor coming out, the townsman quickly turned back and led the way.Seeing the round cheese running so fast, Airl was also a little curious.But just as he was about to ask about the small liquor at the side, he found that the tavern owner had walked a long way without knowing when, and seemed to have no interest in this "good thing" at all, so he just walked back to the Unicorn Tavern.

After thinking about it, Airl decided to join in the excitement.After following Round Cheese and the townsman out of the two streets, a deafening sound suddenly erupted from the front!

Crackling, bang, bang——!

It was a series of firecrackers, and the sounds came and went, making it very lively!

When I turned a corner, I saw a large building that was only a little smaller than Song of the Mermaid was already crowded with people. The whole building has been well decorated now, and a huge gold-plated font was inlaid Above the main entrance of that building—

"Honey jar...guild?"

Looking at the huge signboard, Airl could hardly describe his current mood!

Especially when he saw the person who was standing in front of the Honey Pot Guild with a happy face and was in charge of cutting the ribbon, a huge thunder exploded in his mind, causing him to lose any sense of it in an instant. reaction!

That's Viscount Norris...

The lord of Lagoon City, who was considering buying Song of the Mermaid not long ago, now stands proudly in front of the Honey Pot Guild, looking at so many townspeople in Pelican Town cheerfully!

"Today, all the townspeople are really welcome to come to the opening ceremony of our Honey Pot Guild. Although this guild is only a small guild, it is also the first store in Pelican Town, but I believe that in the near future In the future, you will definitely be very satisfied with the services of our Honey Pot Guild!"

Following Norris' speech, about ten or so people standing on both sides of him with extraordinary skills and full equipment immediately applauded and made a fuss.Under the applause of these people, the townspeople also began to applaud unknowingly, and all of a sudden the whole street was full of warm applause.

Norris was very satisfied with the atmosphere at this moment. He glanced at Airl from the corner of his eye, and continued to open his arms and said, "I believe everyone already knows what the Adventurer's Guild does, right? So we There is no need to explain it in detail again here. In comparison, I just want to introduce our new guild members to you, and let everyone get to know each other."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to a heavily armored warrior beside him, and this seemingly seasoned adventurer took a step forward and announced his name and occupation loudly.

Next, the ten members announced their names and strengths one by one. From fighters to magicians, from assassins to boxers, the whole team felt like a very good and outstanding team just by looking at it.

Looking at such a well-trained team, Airl's expression was naturally not easy to see.

After introducing all the members, Viscount Norris continued to come forward and said with a smile on his face: "Then, from today onwards, our Honey Pot Guild will officially open for business! I hope everyone can join us! During the opening of the new store, All work commissions are discounted in half! Thank you!"

Price war!

Arrow knew that he had encountered the type of combat he dreaded most.

In many cases, it is the most effective and convenient behavior for a powerful capitalist to use a large amount of capital in his hands to directly overwhelm competitors in terms of price.But he never expected that Viscount Norris would use this tactic in order to kill Song of the Mermaid in one go? !

Isn't it just stealing your right to manage a guild war!Is it necessary to be so angry that you will spend a lot of money to completely crush your opponent?This tactic of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred is used on such a small guild as myself. If there is no real secret, then it is definitely a brain disease!

When the mayor of Round Cheese saw that the Viscount had finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and rushed to the front of the team.

After seeing the mayor of Round Cheese, Viscount Norris nodded with a smile and said, "Ah, so it is Mr. Mayor. I'm sorry that our guild decoration preparations were rushed this time, and we didn't have time to inform you. Speaking of which, this building The building has not yet purchased from you, and I also want to have a good talk with you about this matter."

Round Cheese smiled awkwardly. No matter how he was named the mayor of the town, he was appointed by the viscount.At the moment, he just nodded and bowed with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, Viscount, it's a great honor to meet you in person. I just don't know...why did you think of setting up an adventurer's guild in our small town? You should know Well, we already have one in our town... Well, of course, I have no opinion on this matter! I just think that the scale of Lagoon City is dozens of times larger than that of Pelican Town. It should be more convenient for you to open it in Lagoon City Make some money?"

Although Round Cheese usually looks like he has an eye for money, Arrow is really grateful that he can still speak for himself in this situation.

The viscount raised his head slightly, glanced at Airl with a haughty expression, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Lagoon City is also within my territory, and it is impossible for me to return to it in my territory." Start an adventurer's guild and grab your own business, right? But it's different in your small town. Ah, isn't that the president of the mermaid song? We will be the operators of the same small town in the future, I hope It’s a pleasure working with us.”

Outwardly, Airl had a grin on his face.But secretly, his fists were already clenched tightly.

Now he is very sure that this viscount is definitely trying to crush himself in one go!The reason behind it is probably far from being as simple as stealing a business from him.

"Ah, it turned out to be the guild of His Excellency the Viscount. Of course! If there is a colleague in the town, I can feel at ease."

After thinking for a while, Airl separated from the crowd and walked forward slowly under the gaze of everyone.He saluted slowly towards the viscount, and said with a smile——

"I hope we can cooperate more in the future. After all, right now, there is a problem that bothers us in Pelican Town before us."
