Gold is Justice

Seeing such a smile on his face, Arrow suddenly felt obliged to say something, and immediately he said: "Earl Ruiying, I think Miss Margot..."

"Oh, so your name is Margaux? Good name. Don't be afraid, with me here, no one will bully you."

The old man stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and touched Margo's shoulder and waist lightly.Margaux lowered her head shyly, and backed down a little, just like a girl in Huaichun who just fell in love.Earl Ruiying couldn't help being a little interested in this retreat.He nodded, withdrew his hand, and turned to Arrow: "President Arrow, what do you think happened to Miss Margot?"

"Ah..." Arrow's eyes rolled around, "Miss Margot's current clothes are really...inconvenient. I think it's better to let her avoid it for a while."

Earl Rui Ying laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed heavily in Airl's direction a few times.Immediately, he asked Margo to change clothes in the room.Before the girl was about to leave the room, she still leaned against the half-closed door and glanced at the old man quietly.After revealing an embarrassed snigger, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, Airl knew that it would be better for him to have less contact with Earl Ruiying in the future.

"President Airl, I know what you were trying to say just now."

Earl Ruiying smiled, he waved his hand, another attendant behind him stepped forward, and handed a bag to Airl——

"But don't worry, I'm not this kind of rubbish. And I instinctively feel that she is not a bad girl. She is just a shy girl who has to follow the trend of the times and has to do something. So, I will teach her well so that she can become an outstanding lady."

Arrow could only smile at this.I can only think... Your old man should do his best.

However, after taking the purse, the number of gold coins turned out made Airl a little tangled.He shook the purse and said, "Earl Ruiying, this..."

Rui Ying smiled: "What? Is the quantity wrong?"

"No, it's not that the quantity is wrong...the thirty gold coins you promised are quite a lot. It's just..."

Airl looked at Earl Garp who was completely motionless on the ground, and suddenly felt that his steps were still somewhat wrong after all.

Rui Ying is also aware of the zombie on the ground now, so he can only shake his head helplessly, and said: "Well... I'm sorry. After all, this guy didn't intend to pay you at all in the first place. Moreover, the current Tianhe City Theoretically speaking, it should be inherited by his nephew, although it is said that in the near future, the newly appointed lord of Tianhe City will transfer all the ownership of the city to me. But there is still a process after all. If you want If so...how about waiting until then to hand it over to you?"

"No, don't bother. I appreciate Earl Rui Ying's kindness. If there is nothing else, we, Song of the Mermaid, will leave now."

Waiting for you to hand over?God knows how many years have passed since the handover was completed.Now that the matter has come to this point, Airl also feels that he will accept it as soon as it is good, and it is better to evacuate immediately.

Hearing that Song of the Mermaid wanted to leave, Earl Rui Ying didn't hold back too much.Although it was already late at night, everyone in Song of the Mermaid went out of the city gate overnight just like last time, and with their spoils this time, hurriedly embarked on the road back to Pelican Town.

——1302年6月23日，旅行费：-1银2铜6铁，玻璃瓶：-2铁，药草：-2铜5铁，护送委托：30金，工资：-3金，结余：514金5银1铜5铁——

"Noble, it's really scary!"

Although the road under the starry sky is more difficult, compared to staying in Tianhe City, a city that makes people almost breathless, Song of the Mermaid still feels that sleeping in the wild is safer than coming to that city many.

Light the bonfire, set up the stove.Seeing the bubbling and bubbling of the food in the pot, Brad put his arms around Buffy gently, and said while watching——

"Do rich people like to kill each other like this? They are all nobles of the Blue Bay Empire, why can't they live in peace?"

Seeing that it was almost cooked, Ai Luo scooped up a bowl of noodle soup and handed it to the cocoa who was already hungry, and said with a smile: "After all, the trouble is caused by money. The wealth of the Blue Bay Empire is fixed. , In the absence of any major economic explosion, the basic market is so large, it is impossible to generate more gold coins out of thin air."

Cream hurriedly reached up, took the spoon, scooped up a bowl and handed it to Airl, and said with a smile, "But human desires are unlimited. When there is a conflict between this person's desire and another person's desire, The so-called peace naturally becomes a matter of life and death."

After Cream hugged the food, Brad scooped a bowl for himself and Buffy, and he took a sip.But Buffy, who was sitting on his shoulder, didn't quite understand: "Is there no way to stop the battle between you humans? Even among the various rumors about us flower fairies, anyone who hears about you humans The rumors are basically related to things like war. Basically, I have never heard of any legends about you humans living in peace."

Arrow smiled: "Don't you live in peace with us now? Do you think it's scary to be with us, Brad?"

Buffy tilted her head, then turned to look at Brad next to her.The big, silly man was snoring and eating now, but the shoulder on which he was carrying Buffy was motionless, obviously trying to maintain a stable state.

Seeing this, Buffy blushed, turned her head suddenly and snorted, "You guys are a special case!"

Everyone laughed hahaha.

Chapter 280 Two Ways of Peace

After the laughter, Airl took a sip of the noodle soup in his hand with a spoon, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is a way for human beings to live in peace. It's just that many people haven't realized it yet. "

Hearing these words, the eyes of the members suddenly lit up again.Cream said with great interest: "President, are you going to talk about economic issues again? It seems that there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by the economy."

Airl put on a serious face on purpose, and said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, this is really an economic issue. The reason why wars happen between people comes down to economic inequality and conflicts of interests. Said The simpler one is that I have no water to drink, but you have water here but refuse to give it to me, so I can only come and grab it."

"Wars purely because of beliefs can't be said to exist in our human history, but at the individual level, participating in a certain war may be because of beliefs, but if the war is enlarged from a local individual to both sides of the participating countries, or even the participating regions If all the surrounding countries are jointly analyzed, it is a pity that all wars are ultimately due to economic problems.”

"The reason is very simple, just like me, the guild leader of Song of the Mermaid, you think that because a member of a certain guild in Hanhai City scolded me, I will lead you to mobilize people and leave the business alone, Rushed to the capital to find Fang Xingshi to question the crime? But relatively, if you, or a member who joins our Mermaid Song in the future, is a person with a very strong sense of honor in the guild, maybe you will die because of someone else's scolding. Rush to the capital to find trouble. This is why individual partial judgments and overall macro-level judgments will have great differences."

Use simple examples as examples, and try to make these guys understand these principles simply.This is what the teacher taught Airl when he was studying, and now he also hopes to use these methods to teach his members.

Ke Ke nodded: "Brother President, I understand the truth, but you said just now that there is any way to stop the war between human beings. You said this method is economic, so what is it?"

Airl smiled and said, "As I said just now, wars are caused by conflicts of interests. I don't have what you have, and I have you. This conflict of interests will lead to war."

"But if you think about it in another direction, if you have water and I don't have water, similarly, I have fertile land and yours is saline-alkali land, then the problem will be solved."

"You give me water to irrigate my fertile land, and at the same time make me drink enough, so that I won't be exhausted because of lack of water. Then I will distribute the crops I planted to you, so that you can also eat enough , will not be hungry. In this way, although there will still be a state between us that I have something you don’t have, and you have something I don’t have, but you and I can become a state of cooperation instead of a state of competition .”

"I taught you this before, right? Money is valuable not because it has value in itself, but because we humans assign value to money. The basic value of money lies in exchange, some money that cannot be exchanged for actual goods or services There is no difference at all from the stones on the side of the road."

"One of my economics teachers once said to me this sentence-why spend effort to grab something that can be bought with money?"

"When I first heard this sentence, I felt very speechless. Why should I spend money to buy things from you when I can grab them directly from you? Isn't this the opposite?"

"But as long as you think about it carefully, you can understand what my teacher means. If I grab it directly, it seems that I have benefited, but from a deeper perspective, I have created a kind of "insecure person" for others. 'the concept of."

"This time I succeeded in robbing, but if I want to rob again next time, other people will become very vigilant and take precautions more strictly. At the same time, since I can use violence directly, it is equivalent to acquiescing that others can also Use violence against me. This is the same reason I have always told you before that you should never use violence against others lightly, let alone kill people at will with disregard for life. What you can do to others, of course others can do the same to you , that's the logic."

"But if, instead of violence, I exchanged money for what you have in your hands, you would be more than happy to give me what you have in your hands. It takes no effort on my part, and you do not become more vigilant, I am Others will not become a 'dangerous element' in their minds, and of course I do not agree with the legitimacy of other people's use of violence against me."

"Then, as long as you can keep enough money in your hands, then through the constant exchange of materials, the two will maintain a very close cooperation state. Of course, there will be no hostility or war between each other. concept. This concept can also gradually be extended to countries, or to three countries, four countries, or even all countries in the entire world.”

"As long as every country can concentrate on managing a resource that other countries don't have, the world will completely eliminate war. The relationship between people will become extremely close and harmonious."

"This is one of the theoretical foundations of economics. My teacher always believed that through research and implementation of economics, most of the wars in the world can be curbed, so that people can live a happier life."

After Airl finished speaking, against the background of the fire, his face was red, as if he was immersed in that happy memory.

Brad put down the bowl, and he was very convinced when he heard it, he said: "President Arrow, it sounds like this is a beautiful world? If this world can really be eliminated by operating economics as your teacher said war, why don't those noble gentlemen refuse to do this?"

In this regard, Airl could only smile and shook his head slightly.He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, are you tired of listening to me talking about these boring economic topics? My teacher's theory has not been completed yet, maybe the world will change after he completes it? Come on, let's summarize the experience of this adventure now. We have newly discovered that corpse eaters have the characteristic of infecting zombies, which requires us to pay more attention."

Ke Ke: "Brother President, why do corpse eaters, who were not contagious before, have this zombie characteristic now?"

Airl really wanted to knock the little girl on the head.Isn't this what you magicians are responsible for thinking about?Otherwise, what do you think the students of the magic department are doing memorizing all kinds of theoretical knowledge all day long, and drawing magic circle diagrams on the school square all day long?Is it fun?

But now, Ai Luo really can't directly criticize this little girl.After all, he was responsible for thinking about problems before, and this so-called magician is only responsible for eating and studying all day long.Let a child who can only add, subtract, multiply and divide think about the reason why the principle of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division exists?This span may really be a bit too big.

"Hmm... Maybe it's because of the food, or maybe it's because of the stress response after being in an unfamiliar area? Or, that Earl Karp performed some magical operation when he experimented with this corpse king. Now He is already dead, and we can't ask an answer. So, you'd better remember this characteristic firmly for me. If you encounter corpse eaters again in the mine, you must be more careful. Especially support long-distance elimination. Ah, of course, if you can go forward and fight hand-to-hand like Brad, covered in thick tree armor."

Brad raised his hand, as if to say something.Airl agreed, and the big man stood up and said, "President, when the tree armor technique was cast, I felt very heavy, and my ability to move became very poor. And my vision is not very good."

Buffy flew up with a bang, stretched out her fingers and tapped the tip of the big man's nose heavily: "What do you mean? Do you mean that I protect you too well?"

Brad was a little embarrassed, and quickly withdrew his hands: "No, no! I just said that there may be a little more tree armor, which hinders my movement..."

"A little more is just hindering your movement! What if you are injured if you are less?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Buffy suddenly realized that she had said something "excessive", blushed, and immediately flew behind Ke Ke, hiding and refusing to see anyone.

Because of this, the entire camp immediately burst into laughter, and the fatigue of consecutive days was also eliminated in this burst of laughter.Only Brad was left rubbing the back of his head on the spot, with a smirk, not knowing what everyone was laughing at.

Having nothing to say all night, I got up and walked towards Pelican Town.

I walked fast when I came, and it was quite easy when I went back, and my pace also slowed down a little involuntarily.

But as the time entered July, the sun that came to torture all creatures on the earth every year began to emit heat waves habitually, making people fully feel that the time has entered summer.

Walking on the main road, you can see Shining Forest from afar.As long as you walk around the Shining Forest for another day, you should be able to reach Pelican Town.

Even though the situation is true, when Airl looked at the open road, and then at the cool and lush shining forest over there, he couldn't help but feel a little entangled in his heart.

"call……"

Buffy is now hiding among Xiaobai's skull and refuses to get into Brad's hot pocket, and Coco is now holding an umbrella, making the skeleton dog drag her around even if she is out of breath.

Chapter 280 Three Summer Forest

Perhaps it was because he was close to the small town, Cream had already taken off his shirt and the sleeve arrow on his wrist.Except for the Shadow Ring, everything on his upper body that could be removed was completely removed.

Seeing this, Airl finally made up his mind.

"Let's walk through the Shining Forest. It's closer, and it should be cooler."

The guild members turned their heads, looked at Airl, and then at the apparently shady forest over there.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Cream put his arms around his clothes and said, "Through the forest? Well... what about the slimes and hooked rats in there? The hooked rats should be easier to deal with, but we If you don’t bring salt this time, you will be in trouble if you meet slime.”

Airl also wiped the sweat rolling down from the back of his ears, and said: "If you encounter it, just kill it? And we can go around. Of course, this is not a task, nor is it an order. I think we mermaids It shouldn't be a big problem for Song of Song to pass through the Shining Forest. At least, we can move along the edge of the Shining Forest instead of going deeper into the center."

Cream thought for a while, and felt that there seemed to be no problem, so he nodded immediately.

Look at Coco, Buffy and Brad... Well, seeing the exhausted appearance of the three of them now, there should be no objections.

Deciding to act, Song of the Mermaid cautiously came to the edge of the forest and looked inside.

Nothing unusual was found, when Airl stepped into the shade of the tree, he finally had a call from the bottom of his heart——

(Die light magic! It's time for dark magic)

On the trees, the sound of huge cicadas filled the forest.Although it was a bit noisy, it was much more relaxed than the avenue outside which was constantly scorched by the sun.

Everyone tried to walk into the forest again, and sure enough, the further they went, the more comfortable the temperature was.After resting for a while and replenishing water, Song of the Mermaid did not start to move again until Cream got dressed.

I don't know if it's because the weather is really too hot, or because it's noon. Apart from the noisy cicadas, there is no other movement in the entire Shining Forest.

Think about it too, slimes are creatures that tend to be nocturnal.Hooktooths also prefer to stay in dark places.But now, the noon sun shines through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkles mottledly on the muddy ground under your feet. In this environment, even if there are slimes and hooked rats, they should hide in the depths of the forest to escape the heat until night. Let's get active.

Walking, because there was no danger along the way, everyone unconsciously began to walk deeper into the forest, thinking of taking a shortcut.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with all of this.until……

"stop!"

Suddenly, Cream, who was in the middle of the line, changed his contented appearance just now, and stretched out his hand to stop Brad who was about to move forward.

Everyone stopped, and the assassin tiptoed towards the middle of the two trees in front of him. After looking at the foggy thing like gauze in front, he turned back and said, "That's a spider web. If I If you are not mistaken, it should be a web formed by the spider silk of the rotting poisonous spider."

Hearing the news, Airl was taken aback for a moment, and his fingers couldn't help touching the antidote in the corner of the item bag.He only wore it as a precaution, but he really didn't expect it to happen.

Cream raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment, and said: "It seems that we have really gone a little too far. Chairman, what should I say? If I remember correctly, you should have an antidote, right? Then we are Keep going, or go around outside carefully? If you keep going, I think you can reach Pelican Town in an hour or two. If you go around, maybe we won’t get there until after dinner.” Airl thought for a while, and quickly made up his mind: "We'd better take less unnecessary risks, let's go around, and it won't matter if our vice president misses a dinner."

But just when Airl gave the order to move to the edge of the forest, Buffy suddenly flew out of the skeleton soldier's head, pointed at an area in front, and made a silent gesture at the crowd action.
