Gold is Justice

It lifted its paw, looked at its own meatball, and then looked at Airl: "This time, you are very refreshing?"

Ai Luo smiled and said, "You are my friend, can I not be happy with my friend?"

Napa stared at Airl again, and after a while, the cat turned around without saying a word, and returned to its small cat house.

However, just when Airl stretched his waist and tried to relax himself, the cat suddenly poked its head out of the cat house: "By the way, that human named lumberjack said to help us clean up everything on the second floor." The rooms have all been redecorated, so the renovation fee for the entire guild totals 150 gold, and I helped you get to 130 gold, which has already been settled."

At that moment, Ai Luo was in a good mood just now and suddenly had the illusion of being stabbed by someone!

After being stunned for a while, he quickly opened the safe under the counter and hurriedly counted the amount of gold coins in it!

That's right...not wrong!Really less!

You know, this renovation was originally an expedient measure to fight against Viscount Norris!Even if it really needs to be renovated, Airl only planned to spend seventy or eighty gold coins at the beginning to settle it!

Now? 130 gold? !

This dilapidated house cost only 15 gold when I bought it, but it cost 130 gold to decorate it? !

Although Airl's eyes were bloodshot now, the cat couldn't feel it.When the president who was about to turn into a ghost poked his head out from under the counter, the cat was peacefully sleeping in its new home.

(You slept with my money! This is all my money ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!)

Although his heart was full of roars, Arrow couldn't roar out to the second level now.

After glancing at the gold coins in the safe again, the chairman finally had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit himself, and silently closed the door of the safe with tears in his eyes.

"Huh? Brother President, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're crying?"

Coco moved some food from the kitchen and put it on the table, just in time to see Airl's expression now, and asked curiously.

Ai Luo quickly wiped away his tears, forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, the decoration has just been completed, and the smell of the paint irritated my eyes. Come on, everyone... let's eat! Hmm... Coco, how do you Bring so much food out? Put it back a bit, everyone is not hungry, and can’t eat so much.” Ke Ke showed a very confused look, and she looked at the food in her hand again, but she really couldn’t resist her president’s suggestion. In the end, I had no choice but to put the food back into the kitchen and bring it out a little bit.

After eating, everyone started chatting as usual.Although the activities in Tianhe City this time were a bit tense, in general all members were not injured, which is already a very good result.

As they chatted, everyone naturally talked about the old man they met during the day.

Cream picked up a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I see, isn't this a good thing? If our town can grow and grow, the population will also increase accordingly. Immediately after our guild's There will be more jobs, and more money will be earned, right?"

Contrary to Cream's current look of high spirits, Ke Ke seemed a little worried: "But... don't you think that old man is going in the wrong direction? I have no problem with the fact that he wants to develop Pelican Town. But he wants to cooperate with the mayor of Round Cheese... Besides, we don’t have anything to develop in Pelican Town, right? Didn’t he throw all his money into the water?”

Cream waved his hand: "Oh, little girl, why are you so kind now? It doesn't matter if he can develop, since that old man wants to invest money in our town, then our guild can naturally get a big share Right? Anyway, this is a lot of extra income, isn't it? Let's take the money first!"

Brad picked up a spoon, scooped up a small bowl of soup and placed it in front of Buffy, slowly said: "Money, I think if the old man gives it to us, it doesn't matter if we take it. But development, this money Chairman Qian Ailuo will definitely use it for development."

Ke Ke pouted, and said helplessly: "I think we seem to be cheating that old grandpa now. If it's the Viscount Rich of Swan Castle who cares about him all day long, that's fine. The guy invested money in our town, and I will definitely scrape him. But this old man seems very kind, this kind of behavior of investing money... I am really worried that he really didn’t pay attention after investing the money. Seeing the development of our small town, he finally left here sadly. But why does the elder brother refuse to admit that we, Mermaid Song, planned this guild war? Then he can talk to us directly."

Cream smiled: "Although the general plan is our Mermaid Song, to the outside world, the main operators of the guild war are the residents of our small town. So although our Mermaid Song has been named, but from the general In terms of command, the command of Pelican Town is naturally the mayor, that is, the mayor of Round Cheese is no problem. Besides, this is a matter of developing the entire town after all. As a guild, it is really inconvenient for us to do this kind of thing Straight up. That's really the mayor's job."

"President, what do you think?" Buffy took a sip of the soup, looked up at Airl, "Do you still want to go tomorrow? Or should we let that human go away tomorrow?"

After a while, Airl finally recovered from the heartache of the 130 gold.He frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't make up his mind for a while.

He came to Pelican Town to establish the guild, and it was for the gold mines in the Sleeping Mountains from the beginning.But after going through so many events now, although it cannot be said that this gold mine does not produce gold, the supply chain seems to be very unstable.Now that the Corpse Eater King is dead, whether there will be new Corpse Eaters will appear in the future has also become a question.

Expansion of Pelican Town is certainly a good thing, but the problem is, he only has a year and a half left.And if a city wants to develop, it can't make much change in just one and a half years.Correspondingly, once the town starts to be injected with money and enters development mode, those who hear the "voice of money" will naturally swarm like vultures smelling carrion.Yes, it was the same as when I rushed to this small town with all my might.

Chapter 280 Six This is a Good Place!

While the town has not yet entered the profit-making stage, a large number of merchants have begun to enter the town, which will naturally trigger a certain degree of vicious competition.In other words, before the development of Pelican Town is stable, all commercial organizations here will be in a kind of cannibalism like refining Gu.Only when the market stabilizes here, the winners settle in and the losers leave, will things stabilize.But in the whole process, it is basically equivalent to losing money all the time, and there is no need to think about making money at all.

As for myself, the most scarce thing is time and money.

But if the expansion of Pelican Town is to be prevented, it will be tantamount to directly cutting off a good way for the entire townspeople of Pelican Town to get rich.

This kind of behavior is tantamount to putting myself, Song of the Mermaid completely in the position of a villain... At that time, it will not be Song of the Mermaid, but the evil of the Mermaid...

Sigh... This question is really difficult... Is it for myself to try not to cooperate with this town expansion operation, or to simply blog and support this town expansion plan?

If you don't support it, you can definitely make money steadily, but you may earn less.

Support, I may immediately enter a fierce business war, and start a new round of competition in Pelican Town with some other guilds that I have heard about.It is possible that you will make a lot of money, or you may let yourself exit early.To be honest, when encountering this kind of problem, Arrow began to sincerely hope that the old Mr. Sugar-coated Wine Qiaoguo and that Viscount Norris were in the same group and wanted to target him!

After all, it's much easier to deal with a well-targeted enemy than a large number of unknown competitors, right?

"Well...it's hard to make a judgment yet."

Airl smiled, and for now, he could only be perfunctory——

"The specific situation depends on the situation of the discussion tomorrow. If the conditions given by the old man are not generous enough, then it is useless for us to make more decisions now."

In a word, Arrow put an end to the problem directly.

The members didn't make an accurate decision when they met their president, so naturally they stopped talking about this issue and began to shift the topic to other things.After eating, everyone packed up the table and went back to the room to enjoy their newly decorated room.

There was only Airl, lying in his redecorated room full of masculinity, even with a shield and two swords hanging on the wall, and a guild logo carved with mermaid singing on the head of the bed, he couldn't help covering his eyes. with my own face...

"My room...doesn't need to be renovated...please return the money to me...thank you..."

——1302年7月1日，旅费：-4金3铜2铁，装修费：-130金，结余：380金4银8铜3铁——

The next day, in the mayor's office.

Airl understood perfectly well what the chubby mayor's stunned expression meant.

Especially when the old Mr. Sugar Coated Wine stepped forward and patted Round Cheese on the shoulder, with full trust and expectation in his eyes, the mayor really had a ghostly expression.

"Ah... I... planned the guild war?"

Round Cheese pointed to his nose, looking as if he hadn't recovered yet.

Seeing this, Ai Luo hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, yes! If it weren't for your strong support, the mayor, how could we townspeople make this guild war so impressive? So don't No more modesty! You are undoubtedly the biggest contributor to our town!"

Judging from some problems in the course of the guild war, Airl felt that there should be no problem calling the mayor the biggest contributor to the success.So now his words are completely from the heart.

Being held by Airl like this, the astonished expressions on Round Cheese's face gradually changed into joy and confidence.Soon, the mayor nodded, put his hands on his hips, and said with a smile: "Yes! No problem! This is indeed what I planned! I am very powerful! Hahaha!"

Tang Yijiu also nodded quickly, and continued: "So, I want to invest in your town. I think your town is really a perfect place! I hope to get your strong support, Mr. Mayor!"

Round Cheese glanced at Airl, seeing that Airl didn't respond, the mayor coughed, fully showing his demeanor as a mayor of a town, and said with a smile: "Of course, of course! Since it's for us If you want to invest in the small town, then I will definitely support it! I just wonder if you have any plans for investing in our small town?"

Sugar-coated wine pointed out the door: "Can we talk while walking? Maybe it will be more accurate."

At that moment, Round Cheese, Arrow, Sugar Wine and his two attendants walked out of the mayor's office and moved around the town.

As he walked, Sugar-coated Wine repeated what he had said to Airl about the good infrastructure of the town. The nose seemed to be up to the sky.

"According to my idea, I hope to plan the entire Pelican Town into a large resort center."

Hearing the suggestion of sugar-coated wine, Airl couldn't help asking: "A holiday center? Our place? Is this appropriate?"

Sugar-coated wine shook his head quickly, and said with a smile: "To be honest, this place is really suitable for vacation! Mayor of Round Cheese, President Arrow, take a look."

Saying that, sugar-coated wine stretched out his finger and pointed to the Eternal Sleep Mountain Range in the distance——

"The outside of the Sleeping Mountains is a taboo place, without any signs of life. This has led to the fact that although Pelican Town is a border town, in fact, this town does not border any neighboring countries, and there is no cause for harm at all. The possibility of national conflict!"

"This also means that this small town is a very comfortable small town. If any enemy wants to attack this small town, they will have to go through almost the entire center of the Blue Bay Empire. If If there is a certain country that can achieve this level, then we can just surrender directly. Before that, this town can be said to be absolutely safe!"

Absolutely safe...

Arrow couldn't help but secretly gave a wry smile.

If there weren't those monsters, it seemed to be quite safe here.

"So, I hope to build a large sanatorium here, so that those wealthy nobles can come here to rest! And because our place is remote, it usually seems very quiet. It is definitely a place where people can recover physically and mentally. Great place! I just stayed at the bar last night and there was no noise at all! I slept so well!"

Although Arrow is tempted to say that the reason you sleep well is because the Liquor Boss is a good boss.But think about it, forget it...

"As a holiday destination, the scenery in your Pelican Town is actually very good, isn't it?" Continuing along the road, everyone came to the east of the town, sugar-coated wine pointed to the shining forest in the distance——

"This forest is also a good tourist place. As long as we can clear a road in the middle of the forest, do some cleaning and maintenance, and drive away those terrible monsters. Then this forest health trail will definitely gain a lot Many people are welcome! After all, this forest is the most beautiful and interesting forest I have ever seen. Look! Now, from a distance, the whole forest will be shining in the sun! This is where the name of this forest comes from. ? This is simply fantastic!"

Airl really couldn't refute it.

He also thought this forest was very beautiful before, but if he really wanted to develop it, a small guild like Song of the Mermaid could not do it, so he didn't think much about it.Now, this rich man has really set his sights on this place.

"Then, is the old castle here good? Is there an owner? Can I buy it?"

Arriving at the south of the town, the sugar-coated wine pointed at the Swan Castle standing on the small high ground, and his eyes seemed to be shining!

Round Cheese said awkwardly: "You mean Schwann Castle? The master does have one... It's just that this castle may be a bit inconvenient..."

"Inconvenient? If it's not convenient, then find a way to make it convenient for him! This castle has a very classical style, whether it's for visiting or for tourists to enjoy the activities of 'lord for a day', it's very good commensurate!"

Seeing that the old man was so excited, Arrow could only laugh and said, "Next time I see the master of the castle, I will ask him if he is willing to change hands."

As for whether he will really say it, let Ai Luo think about it more.

After all, this can represent a decision whether to continue to cheat the next person.

While walking and chatting, the old gentleman became more excited the more he watched Pelican Town.Along the way, he was full of praise for the well-maintained buildings on both sides, and it seemed that he really wanted to expand the place on a large scale immediately.

The town's southeast, north, and south sides all turned around, and the group finally wandered to the west of Pelican Town.

On the west side of this small town, it is close to a large lake.Walking down the breakwater along a row of stone slabs laid on a muddy path, Airl raised one foot and stepped on a small broken boat on the shore, looking at the calm and wide waters in front of him.

"This lake is so quiet! However, it feels very comfortable to stay here. The wind blowing from the lake makes the feeling of summer a lot less."

Sugar-coated wine smiled happily, and continued to say after nodding towards the lake——

"Mayor, your agricultural products also guide water resources from this lake, right?"

Round Cheese smiled and said, "Yes, all the water resources in our town basically come from this hidden lake. It may feel comfortable to stand here now, but I still have to say something. , if you were standing in your position in winter, the cold wind blowing from the lake would be enough to freeze you to death. President Arrow, don’t you think so?”

Chapter 280 VII Pelican Town Expansion Plan

Airl also responded, and said with a smile: "That's right. As you can see, Mr. Sugar-Coated Wine, this lake looks very big, but it's not so big that it's boundless. We can clearly see I saw that the lake is surrounded by the Changmian Mountains. Therefore, it can be regarded as an inland lake. Every winter, some areas on the Changmian Mountains are covered with snow. In the spring, the snow will melt and flow down to become this lake. source of water resources.”

Sugar-coated wine approached the lake, and stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the lake water.It's cold, and the lake water looks quite clear.

"Is that so? Then I'm really looking forward to the fish dinner in your town! To tell you the truth, I came from the capital and went inland along the way. I almost never ate any fish. I My mouth is almost dying of hunger."

Hearing the request of sugar-coated wine, Airl could only show a wry smile.The mayor of Round Cheese on the side now looked helpless and shrugged.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Tang Yijiu seemed a little astonished, and asked quickly, "What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Round Cheese smiled and said: "If you want to eat fish food... that's fine, we can go to the big city to import some fish. But if you want to fish and eat from this hidden lake, then maybe It's a little troublesome."

Seeing Tang-coated wine's confused expression, Airl stepped forward and said, "Mr. Sugar-coated wine, when I first arrived in this town, I thought I could eat fish. But when I understood why the hidden lake After being called by this name, I realized that I am afraid that there is no way to eat very fresh fish here."

"I don't know when it started, but fish are rarely caught in this lake. Even if some are caught sometimes, the fish are very small, not much bigger than a finger."

"At first, I thought there was something wrong with the lake, but the mayor of Round Cheese reassured me. I have only lived until now, and it seems that there should be no problem with the lake. I don't know if it is because of some special circumstances or something else. For some other reason, the amount of aquatic products in this lake is very scarce. It is also because almost nothing can be salvaged in it, so this lake is called the hidden lake."
