squeak-
Accompanied by the sound of pushing the door and footsteps, a person slowly walked into the guild.
Airl raised his head, and when he saw the smiling old sugar-coated wine gentleman walking towards him, he knew that his time for tediously calculating these accounts had completely disappeared.
"How about it?"
Airl put down his pen, trying to soften the smile on his face.
The old gentleman walked up to Airl, nodded lightly, and said, "Everything is going well. If this town is located in a big city, you should have heard a lot of news, right? I want to know how it happened. something?"
Airl smiled wryly, clasped his hands on the table, and said, "Is there anything new compared to the previous political (harmony) struggles?"
Sugar-coated wine shook his head slightly, and sighed slowly: "That's not true. No matter what the excuse or reason is for partisan struggle, the fundamental content will not be any different."
Airl waved his hand: "Then I don't want to listen. It's just more excuses and lies."
The old man nodded appreciatively, and said with a smile: "I just like this character of your child. Alright! Although you don't need to listen to the specific content, I can explain to you in general, that is the Heistan family It is already in a very dangerous situation. Moreover, most people in their family have to cut politically with that Earl Ruiying."
Arrow stepped out of the counter, poured himself a glass of water, and poured a glass for the old gentleman in front of him as well.He took a sip of water and said, "Your speed is really fast? It's not even October yet, and you can do this? It seems that there is a gap between the main war faction and the main peace faction. The battle has fallen into a life-and-death situation."
The sugar-coated wine also took a sip from the water glass, and said with a smile: "You are wrong about this. As far as I know, the Histan family does not belong to any party. Especially Earl Ruiying, he is in the empire. It belongs to a very smooth type, basically in a role where no one is offended, but no one joins."
"But it is precisely because he did not join any side this time, so once something happened, no one from the main combat faction and the main peace faction would speak for him. This caused him to be in a very short time if something happened to him. It immediately collapsed in time. Alas... this may be the only consequence of wanting to be alone and not cooperate with others in this world."
Sugar-coated wine nodded regretfully, put down his water glass, and said earnestly to Airo: "My child, I know that you may have the desire to do great things, many, many great things. But as an old man, someone who has experienced it, I still want to advise you. Life is not easy just to live in this world. See the way ahead, don't do anything too outrageous, and enjoy the life you can enjoy. It's the best way to survive in this world."
Airl poured another glass of water for the old man, and said with a smile, "It's just the simplest way to survive...the price is not cheap."
There was a kind smile on the old man's face: "No, these prices are what you pay for wanting to break through the routine, not what you pay for enjoying the life you could have enjoyed."
Turning around, Airl saw Cream had come down from the second floor.Then he rubbed his shoulders a little and said, "Let's not talk about those messy things. How about the specific situation? The situation of the Eye of Truth."
Sugar-coated wine also put away the kind smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said: "The light of heaven and the fangs under the night have accepted this commission from your guild. The problem now is your mermaid song. Because the money you gave For a top-level guild like Light of Heaven, it’s really not that many, so their guild has also put forward some requirements.”
"After all, this is also a war of annihilation against other guilds, and many people may die at that time. And from the rumors, the whistleblower who really reported on Earl Ruiying Histan is you Song of the Mermaid."
"Under such circumstances, the Light of Heaven has proposed that you, Song of the Mermaid, also participate in this annihilation battle. It doesn't matter even if you just stand behind and watch. However, all of your guild members must be dispatched to express your support. attitude towards the matter."
Airl thought for a while, couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "Speaking of it, our Song of the Mermaid is responsible for a 'commander', but in fact it's the early bird who takes responsibility, right?"
Sugar-coated wine laughed and said, "You can think what you want. This is indeed cruel, so are you willing to accept this condition?"
Airl took a deep breath, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Cruel? I've already spent five hundred gold coins. Is there anything more cruel than this? Come forward, right? OK! And I want to talk to you The leaders of the two guilds met and had a good chat. More importantly, my guild members can also accumulate some experience points by participating in this event. I think... this should not be too much, right?"
While saying these words, Airl's gaze was fixed on the old man in front of him.
But all he could see was the deep and unfathomable smile in the old man's eyes.
After a little thought, the old man finally nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it seems that you still want to struggle. I came here to inform you that I will arrive in Xuexi City before the end of October. According to According to the information obtained from the Light of Heaven, the Eyes of Reality should hold a large gathering at the end of October, and it will be time for a frontal annihilation battle with them. The distance from Pelican Town to Snow Creek City... I think, You are the slowest, you should start at the end of September."
Airl smiled slightly, nodded and said, "In this case, thank you Mr. Sugar-Coated Wine. I will remember this day, and... I will never forget everything you have done for our guild."
Even though Airl's words were clearly barbed, even sharp, Cream, who was about to go out over there, and Margot, who was manicuring her nails at the door, felt strange and looked this way.
But the sugar-coated wine didn't seem to care about the sharpness at all, and the smile on his face was still kind.He nodded slightly at Airl, and at the same time reached out his hand, as if he wanted to come over and rub Airl's hair a little.But halfway through, he saw the undisguised hostility in Airl's eyes, thought for a while, and shrank back.
"Then, I'll leave first. I've also finished the investment activities in Pelican Town. Let's meet again when you come to the capital. I hope that by then you can truly understand what is best for you. "
With the gentlest smile, the old man bowed slightly to Airl and turned around.While facing Cream and Margo's puzzled expressions, he still said goodbye to these two members with a gentle smile, and then walked out of the guild gate of Mermaid Song leaning on crutches.
Boom-!
After the sugar-coated wine left, Margaux and Cream were suddenly shocked by the loud noise coming from the direction of the counter.
They all turned their heads to look at their president, but it was extremely rare to see such a painful expression on his face.
The president bit his lower lip and stared straight at the ledger in front of him. For a long time, there was no response...
——1302年9月20日,伙食费:-1银4铜4铁,住宿费:4金5银,整理账目:1金,委托费:3银2铜,工资:-5银8铜2铁,结余:504金8银5铜4铁——
Chapter 390 Eighth Pre-war Mobilization
Strictly speaking, Snow Creek City is not too far away.
Continue along the official road outside Xihu City, and you should be able to reach it after walking a little distance after leaving the border province.
Although it is called Xuexi City, this city is not located in the north. On the contrary, like most cities in the Blue Bay Empire, it is close to the warm coastline.However, the city's port is too shallow, and there are hidden reefs nearby, so it is impossible to park large ships, so there is no way to develop into a large-scale commercial city.
The reason why it is called Xuexi City may be because this city is rich in a kind of all-white fish.There are no merchant ships coming and going, so these delicious and tender fish like snowflakes have become an economic pillar of the city.
When Airl introduced the city to everyone at dinner, saliva could be seen rolling from the corner of Coco's mouth.After realizing the saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth, the little girl quickly wiped the corner of her mouth, and regained that serious expression again, as if she was listening to the lecture seriously.
"It really sounds like a quiet coastal city."
Margaux leaned on the seat, with that irrefutable smile on her brows, but at the same time with a little doubt——
"But why did you suddenly introduce this city to us, President? Why, do you think we work hard, so you want to take us for a sea bath? But even if this city is close to the warm sea, it's almost October now, no Is it convenient? But..."
Margot suddenly cast a wink at Airl: "If the president just wants to see me in a swimsuit~~~There's no need to go so far, right~~~?"
Coco wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and wanted to speak again.
But Cream on the side interrupted forcefully: "President, what's going on? What did that sugar-coated wine tell you? Our guild...what trouble did we encounter?"
Airl took a deep breath, raised his head, and glanced at the faces of his guild members one by one.
In the end, his gaze involuntarily settled on Na Pa's face.
"That... I'm sorry, Napa..."
"You lied to me! After all, you still want to lie to me! Are you ready for the consequences of lying to me?! I'm going to scratch your face! So that you can't use your face to bluff and deceive for the rest of your life After all, you still have to abandon me! You just said that you would not abandon me during the day! You are a big liar!!!”
Maybe even Airl didn't realize it, but just saying that, the cat suddenly exploded like it had eaten an explosion magic!
It kept waving its paws and pounced on Airl, all the fur on its body stood up, and besides the extremely strong anger in its royal blue pupils, it also carried a sense of humiliation as if it was being played with.
"No, no, no! Wait a minute! Wait a minute and listen to me!"
Instinctively, Airl reached out and grabbed Napa, keeping her from getting close to him.Napa was still furious, and kept waving her paws: "What else do you want to say! You have apologized to me, what else can you say?!"
"I'm not going to abandon you! I'm going to take everyone to this Xuexi City! Then I'll come back around the time of the Holy Night Festival! I didn't want to close the mermaid song, and I didn't want to run away with the money!"
Hearing Airl's words, Napa, who was still full of fur just now, suddenly became quiet.
It lay on Ai Luo's palm, looked at the president curiously, and said, "You said, you didn't lie to me? Are you going to take everyone to this Snow Creek City?"
Ai Luo nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! I want to take everyone to Xuexi City!"
Napa: "Then, don't you take me?"
Airl thought for a while, then nodded helplessly: "Unfortunately, I can't take you with me. The reason is the same as every previous adventure..."
Napa's fleshy ball secretly stretched out its claws and grabbed Airl's palm: "Then, you shouldn't leave with all the money, right?"
Airol froze for a moment: "Well... I should leave with most of the money... 500 gold coins... and some traveling expenses..."
"After talking for a long time, you still want to take the money and all the guild members, and then leave me and run away! What is the difference between this and the previous statement?! You liar! You are the worst friend! Big liar!!!"
Well now, the cat is starting to fuss again.
Arrow quickly threw the cat into Coco's arms before Napa kept waving her paws, letting her hug the cat.Only then was he slightly relieved.
Even Brad is a little strange now: "President, what did you just say... What do you mean? Why are we going to Snow Creek City? Recently, Pelican Town is preparing for the second guild war. Lagoon City Viscount Norris also invested, and heard that four guilds will come to our town to participate in this event. Under such circumstances, why are we rushing to leave at this time?"
Buffy also grabbed Brad's hair and stood on his shoulder, nodding repeatedly: "That's right, after we leave, wouldn't the guild wars all fall under the control of that fellow Norris? Such a good way to make money." Timing, how can we leave now?"
Airl smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about things like guild wars. The entire Pelican Town has cultivated good teamwork skills over the past year. What's more, the last Valentine's Day party, our guild itself took the most responsibility. Some assistance work is generally done by the townspeople. So, don’t worry this time. Pelican Town can hold this kind of event alone.”
Cream frowned and said, "Then there's no need for us all to leave, right? Chairman, tell us honestly, what's going on? Is there any trouble for Song of the Mermaid?"
If possible, Airl really didn't want to tell these members of the guild's current plight.
At no time does it seem like a good idea for an employee to know that their boss is in trouble.
But he also knew that Cream was an assassin, and also a thief looking for news.The more he wants to hide this guy, the more things he may cause.
After thinking for a while, Airl finally let out a breath, and slowly said everything related to sugar-coated wine.
Everyone, listen.
The more they listened, the expressions on their faces became more dignified.
After Airl finished speaking, the chairman exhaled softly and said, "Now, do you have any questions?"
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.After a long time, Margot was the first to stand up and said with a slightly puzzled expression: "President, I don't know how your previous guild war went, but that time, you should have made a lot of money, right? "
Arrow nodded.
Margaux continued: "And this time, if all of us leave and only this cat is left sleeping here, does that mean that we will lose control of this money-making project? It may even be possible ...When we come back, we won't earn a single iron coin?"
This was the point that bothered Arrow the most.But at this time, he could only nod slightly.
Margo's expression was a little stiff.She sat back in her seat, raised her head, and thought about the current situation.
Seeing that everyone was extremely anxious about this matter, Ai Luo could only continue to say: "There is no doubt that the purpose of the sugar-coated wine is here. He ordered us to watch the whole process of encircling and suppressing the Eye of Reality. This means that we will lose this opportunity to make money in winter. But I have no way to say that I don’t want to go, or that I am the only one going. Because in this way, he can use other guilds to discuss this matter anytime and anywhere. Threat, don't help us get rid of the Eye of Truth."
Having said that, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Ke Ke on the side.The little necromancer also noticed that everyone was looking at him, stopped his hand eating the cake for a while, and lowered his head silently, looking very ashamed.
"That... that... isn't it..."
"This has nothing to do with Coco. The Eye of Reality is just a pretext."
Ai Luo hurriedly smoothed things over for the little girl, exhaled and continued——
"Even if there is no such thing as cocoa, sugar-coated wine will definitely find ways to toss us in other ways. I think he has been trying to target me since he came to Pelican Town and proposed to expand Pelican Town. It's just been It's not too obvious. But this time, he really caught me in a way to deal with me. So, I really don't blame Keke for this matter."
Although with Airl's care and comfort, the little girl seemed to be in a slightly better mood.But after putting the cake in her hand to her mouth tentatively, she finally put it down again.It seems that this little girl was more or less affected by this incident.
Margot glanced at Coco, then turned to Airl: "Then what should we do next? Do we really need to spend 500 gold coins and two months to go to this Snow Creek City?"
Airl nodded, and said very seriously: "Yes, it seems that there is no turning point for this matter. Fortunately, the money is still in my pocket. After I arrive in Snow Creek City, I will try my best to communicate with Heavenly Light and Ye Luo. Put your fangs down and talk to the two guilds to see how money can be manipulated. I hope you can leave me some more. Other than that, let’s treat it as a vacation, after all, we only need to express ourselves Let me show you that you don't need to fight. Of course, if you can learn some experience from other guilds in this battle of annihilation, that would be the best."
Chapter 390 IX The Journey of Last Resort
Airl's words were very polite, and at the same time, he tried to hide his uneasiness as much as possible.
Even though the money is still under his control, the smile on the corner of his mouth twitched unknowingly once he thought that he might be destitute in an instant after the matter was over.
The guild members looked at Airl, and from time to time they would ask some news about sugar-coated wine and this guild annihilation battle.
