Gold is Justice

Hearing Airl's words, the eyes of all the townspeople present lit up!They all turned their attention to the ten members of the Honey Pot Guild!

Of course Airl knew what he was talking about, the strength of that dark beast was far beyond what Song of the Mermaid could handle.Especially after losing the High Priest, Uncle San Cake, he has no intention of entering the basement of Schwann Castle again.

But now, the Viscount has made it clear that he is here to snatch business. If he can't kill his prestige in one go, then Mermaid Song really won't be able to hang out in Pelican Town in the future!

However, this method also has a huge hidden danger - if the monster is really cleaned up by the honey jar... then he can really close the door quickly and meet his fate with a failed ending.

Chapter 220 The Shadow of Pelican Town II

Regarding this, Viscount Norris was slightly taken aback. He didn't say anything for a while, and seemed to have vaguely noticed the trap in Arrow's words.After hesitating for two seconds, he then smiled and said, "Well, the problem of Pelican Town is naturally the problem of our honey pot. As long as we can afford the money, our guild can definitely help everyone present solve any problems." Intractable diseases!"

The subtext of this sentence is of course obvious. It is okay to have problems, but you must be able to afford the money.If it's a problem that even the staffing of the honey pot can't handle, wouldn't it be enough to just raise the price to reject the commission?

Airl doesn't know how much this Viscount Norris knows about the monsters in Swan Castle, but he must not let this opportunity pass by now!Immediately pressing on, he said with a smile: "This is a key issue related to the life and death of the entire Pelican Town! It's a pity that we, Mermaid Song, don't have enough strength to deal with this issue. If the Honey Pot can If this problem is dealt with within the time limit, then I believe that our entire Pelican Town will pay the highest respect to the Honey Pot!"

At any time, coercing public opinion is the most effective way to force others to do wrong things.

Sometimes it is very simple to agitate public opinion. Often it is only necessary to let them know that they can get a lot of gains without paying any money or price. This kind of agitation will be particularly effective!

Sure enough, after Arrow finished speaking, the townspeople immediately looked at the members of the Honey Pot Guild and at Viscount Norris with eagerly awaited eyes.Some of them even shouted involuntarily: "Help us! Your Excellency the Viscount! Help us destroy that monster! Otherwise, we really can't survive!"

Gradually, one after another cheers began to spread.The townspeople on the entire street began to shout the name of the honey pot continuously, and this surging public opinion immediately squeezed Viscount Norris, who was still smiling just now, leaving only an embarrassed smile.

Seeing the climax of the atmosphere, Round Cheese, the mayor, turned around to appease everyone, and said to the Viscount, "Your Excellency, this matter is indeed the biggest problem that plagues Pelican Town. If it can be dealt with If it falls, it will be a great honor and safety for the townspeople in our entire town. So, please think about it."

Seeing so many people looking at him, the corner of Viscount Norris's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he once again aimed at Arrow from the corner of his eye.

Although Norris doesn't know much about the so-called problem, it can be imagined that this must be a hot potato.But in the current situation, it is really impossible for him to refuse again.

Go back and look at the guild members you hired.Due to time constraints, most of these members were directly inherited from the Killer Bee Guild. In terms of quality, they are indeed inferior to Jushan and Soul Flame.But think about the quality of the members of Song of the Mermaid... Well, now that my guild members have been armed to the teeth by me, there should be no problem.

What's more, if this hot potato is really solved, it will definitely be a painful blow to Song of the Mermaid.

Thinking of this, Viscount Norris finally nodded and said, "In that case, then our honey pot will be the grand opening treat this time, and it's hard for us to accept this task."

Whoa!

The crowd of onlookers boiled instantly. It is conceivable that they now have the feeling that they are about to be liberated from the cloud of death.

In comparison, Airl also exhaled lightly, and the fist that had been clenched all the time was also loosened at this moment.

But you can only relax for a while.Then it's time for the real challenge!

Back in the guild, Airl called all the members together again, closed the door of the guild, and said softly: "All of you listen carefully to me. In the past few days, if anyone wants to ask who is Uncle Sanji? How did you die, or anything about the situation of Schwann Castle, you are all not allowed to reveal a word! The battle information about the monster in the basement can only be communicated with each other among our internal members, absolutely not a word can be revealed! "

Brad rubbed the back of his head, looking a bit incomprehensible: "President, if this honey pot can really solve that monster, it can be regarded as a solution to a serious problem for Pelican Town? But we put All the information is hidden, and they are not willing to share anything with them...Is this the feeling of watching them die while we stand by and watch?"

For a while, Airl was speechless by what the big man said.

That's right!If there is no information on this monster, if you face it head-on, wouldn't it be the same as going directly to death?That is to say, is his act of blocking the news... equivalent to indirectly killing those members of the honey pot?Those adventurers... Actually, they didn't offend themselves...

This thought flashed through his mind, but Airl shook his head quickly, leaving this weak thought behind.

Kindness to the enemy is often cruelty to oneself.Letting them attack the monster is to make the treacle pot fail, and if they succeed, then Mermaid Song will be over!At that time, who will come to pity yourself?

After thinking about it, Airl gritted his teeth resolutely, shook off the face of Uncle Cake that flashed in his mind, and continued to say firmly: "Brad, this is not called standing idly by, but improving combat experience." Do you understand? If we tell them how the monster will attack, how can the adventurers in the honey pot improve their coping ability?"

Brad immediately nodded as if suddenly enlightened, showing a very understanding look.

But of course, this kind of words can't fool Cream and Ke Ke next to him. These two people are looking at him suspiciously.

Seeing this, Airl could only sigh, raised his hands and said: "In short! The information about the battle with that monster is the exclusive information of our guild. Even if you really want a honey pot, you should spend money to buy it. If they can really come to buy from us, and if they can afford the price, then I won’t let them die! As long as they can come and buy!”

This reason finally convinced the assassin and the necromancer, so to speak, it also made all the members agree to his decision.

For this reason, Song of the Mermaid sealed up all the battle materials related to that monster, and from this day on, it never mentioned anything about the monster in Schwannburg to outsiders.

After another three days like this, the Honey Pot Guild finally decided to set off for Schwanstein Castle!

"I said you, what are you doing?"

Standing on the south side of the town, the townspeople greeted the members of the Honey Pot who went to Swan Castle to destroy the monsters under the big sun.At the back of the crowd, Viscount Rich stood beside Airl, looking suspiciously at the president with a stiff expression and full of tension.

He is too short, and now he is carried by his entourage, looking at the group of adventurers who are slowly advancing towards Schwann Castle, he continued to ask: "Although someone is willing to help me solve the problem of my castle for free I am very happy. But I always feel a little uncomfortable. These two days, they have sent people to ask me about various situations in the castle... Hey, there will be no more dead people in my castle? I haven’t lived in it for a day , How many people have died in my castle before and after?"

Compared to Viscount Rich's question, Arrow was somewhat curious.In order to relieve his nervousness, he asked, "You also know that so many people have died, why are you so insisting on living in it?"

"Nonsense! So if I can change hands on the evil gate's castle, I will keep it until now?!"

When talking about his home that can be seen from a distance but not lived in, Viscount Rich is really full of complaints.He pointed at the castle standing under the sun, and said with hatred and regret——

"Now I finally know how cheated I was when I bought this castle! It's just that I was greedy for cheap and paid the money without careful consideration! Changed hands? Then people asked me, why did you only buy it for half a year? How do you think I should answer? There are rotting poisonous spiders here? Are there ghosts? There is a monster in the basement who doesn’t know what it is, and several people have died in it. Is it in here?"

Ai Luo understood this, and could only smile wryly.

Viscount Rich's complaints were not finished yet, he sighed and said: "Increase the price, let me get back the cost and sell it, no one will patronize. But sell it at a discount, I am not reconciled. You said I spent so much effort , I have spent so much time for this castle without thinking about food and tea, and I have so many beautiful mistresses in my family, but come here to tangle with this castle, you say I just sell it at a discount? How can I agree! After all, if Song of the Mermaid If you are willing to take over this castle, I will sell it to you immediately without saying a word! The money does not need to be much, as long as I add one-tenth of the original purchase price, this price is very fair!"

Now, Arrow finally knew why the short Mediterranean viscount claimed to be popular with so many women.

Not to mention anything else, just listening to him talk to decompress is also very comfortable.Take his words and deeds as a joke when he has nothing to do. Can such a person be unlikable?

Viscount Rich talked for a long time when he saw Airl, but he hardly reacted. He frowned and said with some displeasure: "Hey, you should answer me. What's the matter between your guild and this honey pot guild? Competitive relationship? That Norris also came to me and said he hoped to cooperate with me. You, the president, don't look heavy, why do you like to involve these weird people all day long?"

Chapter 220 Three For Money

Airl was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and smiled, "Do you know Viscount Norris?"

Viscount Rich snorted: "It's not so much acquaintance, just met and talked a few times. Hey, no matter what, I'm also a viscount, and I'm also a nobleman! It's very common to know a little nobleman, okay? "

Arrow immediately put on a smiling face, nodded and said, "Of course! I knew that Viscount Rich is a very remarkable person. You are so handsome, unrestrained and suave, no wonder so many girls like you~~~! "

Hearing these flattering words, Viscount Rich's face was warm and he looked very comfortable. He nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Hahaha! I knew that you are very sensible, and you can see your own advantages! Said Come on, you are also the first among men to praise me like that~~~ Hahaha!"

Arrow smiled, noncommittal.

After the Viscount Rich finished laughing, Arrow continued to ask: "Then, what kind of person is the Viscount Norris? Do you know?"

Viscount Rich pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said: "On the surface... this is a very polite person. He treats people well, and although he is a nobleman, compared to other people with A nobleman with real power and territory, I heard that not many people died in his hands. It should be a character who is not very interested in killing."

"Besides that... Although he was born in a noble family, his title is just a false name, and his family has no territory. Afterwards, he joined the army and was on the battlefield, that is, the battle between the Empire and the Murderer Seat more than ten years ago. Our country's first border war. It is said that he made contributions in that war, so he was able to seal the territory."

A retired soldier, a person who tolerates and does not wantonly vent his emotions everywhere.Being able to make military achievements in the war proves that he also has courage and wisdom... It seems that he is really a difficult guy to deal with.

After thinking about it, Airl continued to ask with a smile, "Is there anything else?"

"Others? Um... this..." Viscount Rich thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said happily, "I heard that after joining the army, he studied under a famous nobleman and became a Its student, studying military division, politics, economics, etc., is one of the outstanding students belonging to that great noble family! Specifically which great noble... um... can't remember."

Hearing this, Airl could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Hehe, I just hope that I won't fall into the endless loop mode where one loses and another one emerges later, right?That's exhausting.

But it's too early to think like this. What really needs to be considered now is whether or not he can pass this level.

Time passed minute by minute.

After all the townspeople dispersed, only Airl continued to stand at the south exit, looking at the castle that always stood under the setting sun.

The white-painted walls and the fire-burned gray-black walls form a very scattered visual sense in the sun, just like the name of this castle-Gangshi Castle, Swan Castle.People don't know how to look at it, and don't know that it has become truly holy now?Still shrouded in the darkness that cannot be seen directly.

As the sun slowly descended towards the other side of the mountains, Arrow's mood became more and more tense.

He sat on a mound beside the exit, crossed his hands and hugged him, almost counting his intense heartbeats to get through this long time.

Not coming back for so long doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Perhaps the members of the honey pot were well trained and had a lot of observation before attacking?

God knows how many methods can be used to test the weakness and bottom line of that monster under the circumstances of abundant resources, perfect logistics support, complete equipment and abundant props.

What's more, not long ago, his own mermaid song explored that basement, and at the last critical moment, Uncle Sanji also used a light magic that seemed very powerful although he didn't quite understand the effect.

If it is said that this light magic has weakened this monster very well, and those people in the honey pot are now making the final harvest, then have I made the biggest mistake in my life?

The more he thought about it, the more Ai Luo felt that his thoughts were a little unstable and his emotions were a little abnormal.

Even though it was bad to think so, he still began to pray that the power that Uncle San Cake erupted at the last moment of his life would not be able to harm the monster.

Alas... When I was in school, the professor once said that the harvest of capital will make the capitalists completely disregard fairness and justice, and even the kindest person will become a blood-thirsty man after he becomes a trader of capital monster.

In the past, Airl only verbally agreed with these theories in the examination papers and graduation defense, but in his heart he still felt that no matter how powerful money was, it was impossible to turn the kindest person into a devil, right?

But now, when he began to find that he sincerely hoped that those adventurers who had no grudges against him would be killed and injured, and return in failure...

He believed it.

"Brother President, are you still going back?"

As the sun went down, the lights in the town slowly lit up.Coco came over with a plate of bread, and after taking a look at the untouched food box at Ai Luo's feet, she couldn't help frowning.

"Even if you don't go back, you don't eat lunch. Is it worth worrying about those people from other guilds?"

Ke Ke put the plate in his hand on the mound beside him, walked up to Ai Luo with some complaints, and took his hand: "Brother Ai Luo, I know you have good intentions, but it's not a good idea to worry about those people all the time? Whether they can solve it or not, it's not within our control."

Seeing the little girl comforting himself so much, Arrow couldn't help exhaling, and said with a smile: "I know, I'm just worried... You think, Uncle San Cake took so much effort to let us escape, I I'm really worried about the safety of those adventurers... Although they didn't come to buy the information about this monster from us, for the sake of the safety of Pelican Town, I still hope to cooperate with them."

Ke Ke grinned and said, "I knew that the elder brother had the best heart! But you plan to wait like this? You should go back."

Arrow glanced at the Schwann Castle again, but there was still no movement there.And the sky was already getting dark, and the dark castle was about to be covered under the darkness.

After thinking about it, he began to feel that it was a bit stupid for him to wait like this, after all, it was really useless...

"All right!"

Thinking of this, Airl stood up from the mound, stretched his waist, and rubbed his slightly stiff shoulders.But just as he turned around to leave, the answer he had been waiting for all day appeared at this moment.

some people.

Some people who looked very embarrassed, rolled and crawled, looked like they were being chased by something, and ran out of the wan castle with a gesture of panic.

Originally, ten of them went in, but now there were only eight figures running towards the town from afar.

As they ran closer, Arrow could see more and more the expressions on their faces.

Whether it was the strongest fighter, the most devout priest to the light, or even the assassin who should know the most cunning and dark, none of the people in this team could maintain a normal expression now.

When they saw the light on the side of the town, it was as if they felt unprecedented hope from the deepest despair!

When rushing to the range of Pelican Town, Airl could clearly feel a very relieved, relaxed mood like being finally saved from their faces.
