Gold is Justice

"Of course my name isn't on the school's graduating list. Did you forget? My name is Eero Garcia now, not Ariel Garcia."

With the fifth trap set, Arrow looks for the location of the sixth trap.

But Napa did not end the question so simply: "Yes, the name Airo Garcia is a pseudonym. But if I were the mage named Merlin, although the name Airo could not be found, I would You can look up your Ariel's name based on the surname Garcia."

"Ai Luo, Ariel, the two names are slightly similar, and they are also of the same age, and they belong to the same surname. If you change to a normal way of thinking, then Merlin should be able to think of the relationship between you and Ariel .Even if he doesn’t expect you to disguise yourself as a man, he should guess that you and Ariel are brothers and sisters, sisters and so on. In this way, he probably still won’t do anything to the family members of the old Tengshu Academy’s students.”

At this point, Airl was completely silent. He just carried the sack, lowered his head, found the sixth position, set up a trap, and continued walking without saying a word.

"But you are still laying traps, so that means, under your consideration, that Merlin might not even find the name 'Ariel Garcia' in the graduation handbook. In other words, you said The fact that you graduated from the old Tengshu College... how much truth is there in it? How much credibility do you have when you say that you graduated from the Department of Economics?"

Airl, who was silent, silently set the seventh trap.

As long as you look up, you can see King Slime's lair over there through the intertwined branches and leaves of the trees.

It's broad daylight, but even so, you can still see some tiny slimes wandering around the lair, like guards against any invaders.

He thought silently, and this silence was seen by Napa as looking for a reason to quibble.

But after a long time, the guild leader finally let out a breath and shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough, if a person tells a lie, he has to use countless lies to cover it up. But lies are just lies after all, and there will always be lies Someone in the future will show his own feet."

Napa didn't expect this girl to admit it like that?He seemed a little surprised: "You...admitted?"

"Napa, I'm not someone who wants to claim the name of the old Tengshu Academy. You don't believe in my academic qualifications, but you always doubt my origin."

"I know that your attention to Song of the Mermaid is probably not lower than mine. You must have your own reasons for trying to get me to establish the Adventurer's Guild at the beginning. And this reason must be very important. If you change Be me, if you want me to believe that a person who is completely unknown and full of lies can fulfill a promise that is very important to me, I will be very drummed in my heart, thinking that this person cannot be trusted." Napa slowly raised her upper body , the tail stood up behind him, and the fur on his entire body began to emit a faint golden light.This kind of light made those slimes who were slowly approaching unconsciously back away, leaving Airl's advancing route.

"It's good that you understand, human beings. In the past, when you were far from being born, I also trusted you human beings very much. But... the result of trust is not very good. It can be said that it is precisely because of that time My trust in you humans led me to seal myself in the basement of that collapsing bar until your arrival."

"As you said on the first day we met, trust is mutual. And trust must be exchanged with value. Ariel, what do you want me to say? The longer I meet you, the more I feel that you The more talented you are, but the longer I have known you, the more I feel that some parts of you are really full of ulterior secrets."

With the seventh trap set, Arrow looked around again to see where the last trap could be placed.After a while, she finally determined the location and walked under a branch formed by two intertwined trees.At the same time, while taking out the last trap, he spoke his mind——

"Napa, you don't believe that I graduated from Lao Tengshu College...I understand. From your analysis just now, what you said is correct and your analysis is correct. It is indeed impossible for my name to appear on the list of graduates. On the list, if I insist on lying, I can say that I dropped out of school, dropped out of school, or even ran away when I was about to graduate."

Arriving under the two staggered trees, Arrowby checked the distance between the two sides, nodded, took out the last trap, and tried hard to break it apart——

"But I don't want to continue to lie to you. You doubt my origin and feel that I haven't told you the truth and don't trust me very much, then I understand. You want me to immediately show evidence that I am indeed from Lao Teng Tree, I can't prove it either."

He tried hard, but the trap was still the same as before, it was so hard that it couldn't be pulled away at all.

"Hey——! Woo...Damn it, I really can't break it apart. I'm sorry Napa, can I trouble you again?"

Napa slowed down, but still flew down after all, and pressed the cockroach with her tail to open the trap.

"It's just that I still hope you can trust me."

After setting the trap, Airl touched the sweat on his forehead, and said to Napa sincerely——

"I, did graduate from Old Tengshu College. This is indeed my background. At this moment, I still hope you can trust me. If you still feel that my sincerity is questionable, and that I have no use for you value, or if you think I'm too dangerous..."

Airl reached out and made an erasing motion on his neck——

"You are a monster, so you can kill me. Anyway, if I don't have this guild, I won't be able to earn a thousand gold coins in three years, and I won't be much better than this result."

The golden light on the cat's body was still flickering slowly, and when the magic power alternated, it seemed to affect the creatures in the nest over there.

After a long time, the cat monster slowly put away the light on its body, and said in a tone as if giving up looking back——

"I have one last question."

Airl picked up the sack, and the expression on his face regained a relaxed and happy expression: "Well, what do you think?"

"According to your logic, Merlin is likely to target our guild, and you humans are likely to face the worst situation. So, you set a trap here. Then..."

After a slight pause, Napa floated in front of Airl who was about to return, leaning very close to him, staring closely into his eyes——

"Have you ever killed someone? Or in other words, can you really kill someone?"

Chapter 37 A Thief's End

The sun was setting, and Airl came back with tired steps.

Napa on his head was lying comfortably on her stomach, enjoying the warmth of the setting sun, as if having this piece of sunshine at this moment was already worth it.

"I'm going to have a good rest tonight, I'm really tired."

Airl muttered, but Napa still didn't answer.When he got to the door, he realized that the door that was closed when he went out in the morning had now been reopened.

As soon as you step into the guild, you will see Coco, Buffy, and Brad sitting at the dining table. When these three guild members see their guild leader coming in, they immediately stand up and greet them with smiles.

"Hey! It seems that everyone has completed the task well."

Arrow waved his hand, and Brad immediately came over to take the sack in his hand, while Coco made a place to pour milk for him and put away the bowls and chopsticks.

"President, where have you been? We were so anxious that we almost wanted to find you."

Airl took a gulp of milk and wiped his mouth.At this time, Napa also flew down and drank from the milk saucer that Coco had prepared in advance.

"Didn't I leave a note?"

Airl pointed over to the bulletin board.

"what……?"

All right, all three of them looked surprised.Brad immediately rushed to the bulletin board, pointed to the words on it, and read each word word by word: "I...morning...afternoon...evening...what? Chairman, the following item is not correct. Do you know what the scribble is... is it your signature?"

Well, it seems that I really shouldn't use too high-end writing, this soldier only understands the morning and afternoon.Also, what is scribbling?My own words have been well received!

Coco covered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry... Brother President, we didn't care... because you have assigned tasks directly to us, Brother President, and we didn't even bother to read the notice column……"

...Forget it, it's fine.

Everyone sat around the dining table again, Airl picked up a piece of bread and gnawed a couple of bites, and Coco at the side spoke——

"Brother President, there is something I want to say. The thief from before came again today."

With a puff, the bread that had just been stuffed into his mouth spewed out.

This is a bit fast!

Although Airl thought that Cream might come back, it was too fast!Coming back so soon, does that mean that Merlin and his group will also arrive soon? !

"Where is the other person?!"

Arrow yelled out.

Seeing Airl so nervous all of a sudden, Ke Ke was a little scared.She pointed out the gate timidly, and said: "When he came...we were worried that you, brother president, were missing, so we said you didn't know where you were...then he rushed out non-stop, it should be I went to find you... Brother President, do you know that he is coming back? What is he doing this time? He looks very anxious, and he is obviously injured, many places are wrapped in gauze, He looked very embarrassed."

Now that there is no need to eat, Ai Luo pushed the knife and fork, got up quickly and rushed out of the guild gate.When he ran to the door and saw that it was already pitch black outside, he hesitated for a moment, but ran back to the second floor to grab a cloak and put it on.

Just when he got dressed and ran downstairs again, just in time, he saw a man with a very haggard appearance, a scruffy beard, some bandages on his shoulders and arms, standing anxiously in front of the gate.

When the man's gaze met Airl's four eyes, it was as if his heart that had been hanging on him finally relaxed at this moment, his feet softened, and he even knelt down on the ground.

"Brother Cream!"

Last time when Cream came to help Brad in a crisis, this simple-minded guy swept away his previous prejudice against him, and was the first to run out to help Cream, and pulled him to sit by the dining table. Down.

Coco gets out of the seat and waits until Airl sits down again before taking a seat next to him.

Arrow was slightly relieved to see that the guy was at least alive.He put the cloak on the counter, put on a very surprised expression again, walked to the table with a haughty attitude, and sat down slowly.

"Heh, heh heh..."

Facing Airl, Cream seemed to want to try his best to smile, to show off his margins.But laughing is almost the same as crying.

"(Fairy language) Buffy, give our guest a little fragrance, so that he can calm down a little."

The fragrant smell soothes the spirit a little bit, and it can be regarded as more or less restoring the spirit of the person.

After Buffy sat down on Brad's shoulder again, Arrow asked knowingly again: "It's really a rare visitor. You brought me a 2 gold and 5 silver entrusted business in the last mission, I don't know this time How much profit can you bring me?"

After stabilizing his mind, Cream was the first to see the bread and milk on the table.He was also polite, and started eating and drinking after grabbing it.

Ke Ke: "You are too rude. At least you should thank the president brother."

Cream didn't care, and continued to eat and drink with his head covered, his attitude was like starving for three days and three nights.

Airl also waited quietly for him to finish eating.

Five minutes later, after drinking and eating, Cream finally regained some energy.He patted his stomach, wiped his mouth, and again wished he could face Airl with a very relaxed smile.

However, the current Airl is looking down at him with a condescending gaze.It's strange, in terms of height and combat effectiveness, Ji Lian clearly knows that he is definitely much stronger than this short boy, but when he is staring at him like this, he really has no way to continue to show his glib tongue.

"I'm full, shouldn't you explain to me?"

Arrow crossed his legs, trying to assume a condescending stance.It's also fortunate that I have a good time now, but this man is extremely embarrassed, and it is not so difficult to create an absolute advantage in his position.

Cream grinned at the corner of his mouth, hehe smiled, stretched his body as far as possible, and said with a smile: "Explain? Well, there is actually nothing to explain. I am tired of staying in the Blue Bay Empire recently, so I want to visit other countries Shopping. Where can I not make money with my skills? It's just... I thought I had a contract with you? I just want to ask you and say goodbye to you."

At this time, whoever expresses his true thoughts first will be doomed to be a loser.

Airl held his breath, and kept his expression calm, only a faint smile remained.This is also the reason why he will not tell Coco, Brad and Buffy what he thinks. I am afraid that these three members will not be as calm as himself.

Cream also smiled, and began to chat with everyone about various customs and customs.Talk about delicious food and beautiful scenery in other countries.

Airl didn't interrupt, just let him go on.As time went by, it was obvious that Cream, who had no family background to support him, gradually lost his composure, and his tone began to become agitated.

"Huh? Have you finished your record of customs and experiences?"

Under Airl's understated question, Cream involuntarily reached out and pinched the clothes on his chest.Through the shirt, which was still slightly stained with blood, Airl could clearly see the traces of the necklace.

His teeth gradually clenched, the hand holding the pendant began to tremble, and the veins on the back of his hand gradually emerged.

This kind of silence is like brewing a mass of anger that is about to explode anytime, anywhere!After a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, reached out and pulled out the two daggers from his waist, and plunged them heavily into the table.

"I want to...entrust you to complete a task."

The dagger already looked scarred, and the edge of the blade was obviously unable to kill any living beings anymore.It was covered with blood and mud, and it looked like a handful of broken copper and iron.

"I want to entrust you...to help me destroy a bandit gang! As long as I can kill all the members of this bandit gang, then I can give you all my belongings!"

Finally, he was the first to speak out.

Airl felt something called "victory", he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and said with a bit of a smile on his face——

"Tell me your story specifically. In order for us to cooperate better, I advise you not to hide anything. If I realize that you have lied to me a lot, then don't talk about your entrusted tasks. I'm afraid Maybe they will hand you directly over to the gang of robbers you mentioned in exchange for a bounty."

The corner of Cream's mouth twitched, and he raised his head to stare at Airl. The president's expression did not seem to be purely threatening.After thinking about it for a while, the thief nodded, left the two broken daggers with both hands, and began to tell his own story.

"I was an orphan. I wandered the streets since I was a child. I lived by thieves and raised myself. Gradually, I made a small reputation in our area. An excellent thief, a wicked man Rogue, as long as it is the gold and silver treasures that I fancy, there is nothing I can't steal."

"There is a lot of exaggeration in these praises from my peers, but I must also admit that I also enjoy them. So gradually, I feel that I can do better and earn more through my little 'skills'. more gold coins, and live a good life and a decent life."
