Gold is Justice

Napa turned her head away and looked at Airl with suspicion and reluctance: "Are you...are you going to run away? With the mermaid song, with everyone, everyone?"

Airl picked up the gold coin, bounced it, and caught it: "If I really want to go...won't you go?"

I still remember that not long ago, Ai Luo once heard this cat monster say that if he wanted to leave, it would definitely not be polite to him.But now, under this connection, Airl didn't feel any killing intent from the cat towards him.On the contrary, there is even a little reluctance in its mood.

"If I had to leave, I would have left long ago."

Napa lay down, her tail covered her body, forming a circle——

"This is the place where I was sealed, and it is also the place where my mission requires me to keep guarding. If you really want to leave...then I can only seal myself again, and then wait for the next...to wake me up. It's just a pity that the next one may not be a human like you." Hearing what Napa said, Airl couldn't help but twitched his nose, and his emotions seemed a little sad.

After a little hesitation, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Napa's hair.After the cat felt the temperature of the girl's palm, it raised its head rarely, and kept rubbing against Airl's hand.

"It is indeed a pleasure to get along with each other over the past year or so."

After a while, Napa reluctantly got out of Airl's arms.Its tail drooped, turned its back, and turned its back to the guild leader——

"When are you going to leave? When you arrive in the next city, will there be a letter?"

Airl looked at Napa's back and sniffed again.But he still smiled firmly and said: "I plan to do it as soon as possible. Judging from the time, it should be within this week. Now there is no news of gold in the mine, and I want to bring Everyone, go to other big cities to take root, maybe you can make more money in other cities, and make our name of Mermaid Song even louder..."

"As for sending the letter... have you sealed yourself by then, and will you still receive it?"

Accompanied by Airl's rhetorical question, the cat fell silent.

Its tail is still drooping like a broom.The ears that were always pricked up are drooping now, looking very listless: "Yes... By the time you write a letter, I may have sealed myself long ago... Waiting for me will be another long time ..."

While speaking, Napa slowly raised her steps and walked towards the cat house.

Seeing this, Airl couldn't bear it suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Wait until I get a firm foothold in a new place! Wait until my guild becomes stronger and can be strong enough to compete against the Eye of Reality! I will... I’ll come pick you up again! Definitely!”

Slowly, the cat jumped onto the cat house.

It still turned its back to Airl, but its gaze turned to the basement that once sealed it.

long time, long time...

"Ah...then I'll wait for you."

At this moment, Napa's voice seemed so elongated... It was like a promise spanning several centuries resounding from its mouth, with a little emptiness and nothingness...

At this point, Airl knew he had nothing to say.

He sniffled, and put the gold coin in his hand safely on the stack of ledgers.

Afterwards, he lowered his head and looked at his account book again.

(These final accounts should be properly settled...)

"Is President Airl here?"

It's a pity that calm sadness always seems to be broken by various people and for various reasons.

Airl put down the pen in his hand and looked up.It's just that this time it was no longer the rash mayor of round cheese who walked in, but the old sugar-coated wine man with a smile on his face, who looked harmless to humans and animals.

The two bodyguards were still standing behind the old man.

But maybe out of respect for Arrow?The two bodyguards just stood outside the door of the guild and did not come in. Only the old man walked in slowly with a cane and a smile on his face.

"Mr. Sugar Coated Wine, can I help you?"

Since someone came, Ai Luo naturally propped up that commercial smile instinctively, showing his most perfect side.

The old man looked at Airl, especially at the smile on his face.

After a while, he pointed his back with his thumb and said, "Would it be convenient for you to take a walk with me, an old man, or go shopping? President Arrow."

Arrow was slightly taken aback by the proposal, but after a moment he was sure the old man wasn't just sitting around looking for some fun.

After hesitating for a moment, Airl finally nodded, put down the pen in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's an honor to be able to accompany a gentleman like you."

"Okay! Let's go then!"

The sugar-coated wine was not vague at all, and he turned around and walked towards the gate of the guild.

Seeing this, Airl turned his head and glanced at Napa who continued to sit on the top of the cat roof with his back turned to him.After lifting his spirits, he followed up with a smile on his face again.

----

As an old man, sugar-coated wine is like many energetic old people who like to hang out and try some things that old people like.

Along the way, he smiled while leaning on a cane, and seemed very happy about the construction of this thriving Pelican Town.Every time he passed some scaffolding, he couldn't wait to ask Airl what was going to be built here, and what would be decorated there.

Airl also answered all the way, if he really didn't know, he could only smile in return.Sugar-coated wine was also very satisfied with Airl's attitude, even if the answer he got was "I don't know", he would nod cheerfully and move on.

On the contrary, the two bodyguards seemed to deliberately keep a distance from the old man.Every time Arrow turned to look, he could see that the two bodyguards were almost two streets behind.Is it because they are so confident in their own skills that they can arrive at the moment when their master is in danger even if they are so far away, or are they just trying to catch fish?

Airl didn't know, but now, there seemed to be no need to find out.

While strolling and chatting, the two of them gradually came to the side of the hidden lake without knowing it.

Looking at the buildings that had been turned into ruins due to the battle, the smile on the old man's face finally couldn't hold back, he raised his crutches and poked the ground: "Oh, it's really a pity... Although most of these buildings will Demolition, but in fact, many of them can be renovated directly. In essence, I agree with you to say that all these buildings are in a state of destruction and it doesn’t matter to prevaricate the townspeople, but in general... It’s still a loss Quite a few."

Chapter 390 The Love of Sugar-Coated Wine

This was a fact, and Arrow had no need to object.I could only smile, and said, "There are disadvantages, but there are also advantages. At least everyone is safe and sound."

"Is everything all right?"

Sugar-coated wine leaned on a cane and stood in front of the destroyed ruins.

The old man turned his head, and the relaxed expression on his face finally disappeared completely, turning into a serious one.

It was also at this moment that Airl suddenly noticed that there were no other pedestrians around.Maybe it's because this place has become a ruin, and there will naturally be many fewer people.Looking from a distance, only the two bodyguards were still standing far away, but they didn't intend to come over.

Arrow choked up a little, but then smiled and said, "What... do you mean? At the meeting just now, I already..."

"I don't want to hear the platitudes of those meetings. President Arrow, I think you understand how serious the problem is. And, unfortunately, I happen to understand how serious the problem is."

Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, but stopped talking.

Seeing that Ai Luo didn't want to say anything, Sugar Coated Wine reached into his arms, took out an envelope and handed it to Ai Luo.

Arrow took it, opened it, took out the letter and glanced at it.

But just such a glance, it made him completely gasp!

"Count Ruiying Histan?!"

Ai Luo's exclamation seemed to be a little out of sugar-coated wine's expectation, he turned his head to look at Ai Luo, and said, "Do you know this nobleman?"

Airl covered his mouth involuntarily, then glanced at the letter in his hand again, and said, "This is a letter from Shenni Swamp to Earl Ruiying Histan, saying that he has visited the strength of our Mermaid Song, And also said that our guild is not in any danger... that is... that is!"

With the facts in front of him, perhaps Airl's astonishment and suspicion cannot be tolerated at all?

He looked at the sugar-coated wine old man in front of him. The old man seemed to understand what Airl was thinking, then nodded and said: "This is intercepted by my subordinates from a messenger. Maybe you will doubt whether this letter is Did I fake it?"

Airl looked at the sugar-coated wine. Now, he understood more and more what kind of trouble he was in!

Facing this old man who looked a little shorter than him, Arrow involuntarily took a step back, keeping a certain distance from him.

Sugar-coated wine of course noticed Airl's step back now, but he didn't express anything, and still just looked at him indifferently.

"What does this letter... mean?"

"It doesn't make any sense."

Sugar-coated wine slowly stroked his beard, and said seriously——

"What I dislike the most as a person is when others destroy my business. Now, my business is Pelican Town, so if the Eye of Truth wants to fight Pelican Town, then it is against me."

Arrow: "Sir, you've got this letter out, can we stop playing charades?"

Sugar-coated wine smiled slightly: "Riddles? No, no, no, I'm not interested in these riddles. The only thing I know is that if Song of the Mermaid can't stay in Pelican Town, then the Eye of Truth is likely to attack this town. So in order to protect my investment, I absolutely cannot let your guild take the opportunity to escape."

Airl couldn't help taking a step back again, he said vigilantly, "So... what?"

"So? Hehe, so, I plan to deal with the Eye of Reality together with you. Do you still need to consider this issue? You forgot, your mayor said in the morning that our entire Pelican Town is a family, a family People are supposed to help each other, right?"

For a while, Airl began to be a little confused about what the sugar-coated wine was trying to do.

He turned his head, but saw that the two bodyguards were still standing far away, showing no intention of coming over.Maybe... this also means that the old man really just wants to talk?

"What do you... want me to do?"

"Actually, what I want you to do is not complicated."

Sugar-coated wine stroked his beard, said with a smile——

"I'm getting old, and my bones are weak. I don't have any other advantages in this world. The only thing that can be said to be an advantage is that I have a more thorough understanding of those so-called political (harmonious) struggles."

"The Histan family has been a bit prosperous recently. That Ruiying not only swallowed Tianhe City in one go, but even moved his mind to some 'businesses' that he shouldn't touch. Believe me, I want to kill this old man in our empire. There are definitely not a few people who are eagles. It’s just that they have been suffering from no legitimate reason.”

Airl thought for a while, then said, "So, the Eye of Truth... is a valid reason?"

Sugar-coated wine smiled, and nodded lightly: "Master the mysterious magic organization, secretly carry out indescribable alchemy, and use children as sacrifices. These reasons are enough for his political opponents to rub him on the floor Yes. In order to protect his political ability, I don't believe he will try every means to cut off from this magical organization."

Arrow said warily, "So, what do you want me to do?"

Sugar-coated wine took two steps on crutches, he even turned his back to Airl, looked at the calm mirror-like lake in front of him with a smile, and said lightly: "But even so, going to the capital will require funds. Ruiying Xistan has long faced all kinds of rumors, although I don’t know why he suddenly wanted to take action against your guild, but just relying on you once made him want to remove this, a skilled political You can do all sorts of manipulations at home.”

"Therefore, if you don't have enough money to establish a relationship, even if you go to the capital and yell that he is related to the Eye of Truth, you will end up being locked up as a lunatic."

Airl's shoulders trembled again: "How much...how much does it take to get some...?"

"One hundred gold coins, this should be the minimum."

Sugar-coated wine rubbed his beard, smiled slightly, turned his head and said.

"Of course, I know that you have your own concerns. You don't have to use the hundred gold coins. But I don't know what will happen when the time comes. But as long as I use them, I can help you manage the capital. A person who can instantly make this earl, who didn't even have a territory, overwhelm everyone in an instant."

Airl took a deep breath and made his expression as relaxed as possible: "Hehe, isn't this a little too easy? Just a hundred gold coins can bring down an earl? You can't make a joke like that."

"Of course, one hundred gold coins is still far from enough." Sugar-coated wine lightly nodded his crutches, and continued, "Have you forgotten that you still have an opponent—the Eye of Truth? Seems like a place that really needs to spend a lot of money!"

For a moment, Airl felt dizzy and wanted to sit down, but he was afraid that once he sat down, he would never be able to stand up again.

"I don't know the exact number of people in the Eye of Truth. But as far as I know, there are at least a hundred members of this secretive guild. Among them, there are definitely no less than 30 magicians with the strength of this madman." .”

"If you kill someone in their guild, the Eye of Truth will never let its members die inexplicably and pretend nothing happened. So they will definitely retaliate against you. If you want to prevent retaliation, then you must Take the initiative to attack and eradicate this guild."

"I still need a hundred gold coins. I can help you get through all the joints in the capital, especially those old stubborn people who can find a way to help you get through the Royal Society of Magicians. You also know that you can be said to have offended the Royal Society of Magicians before." If you try to do it, you will definitely hit a wall. But fortunately, my old face is still a bit thin in the capital, so I can help you clear it up."
