Gold is Justice

With that said, Arrow turned his head and rummaged through the pile of luggage in the corner of the carriage for a while.Accompanied by a sharp cat meow, the president hugged the cat monster, walked back with a smile, and placed the cat in its original position.

"Why? Didn't you want me to pretend to be an ordinary cat? Can ordinary cats play cards?"

Napa looked very upset, and seemed to have a very strong resentment towards Airl who disturbed her comfortable dream.

Airl said cheerfully: "I'm a little tired now, so you can play a few times instead of me. Anyway, the money is here, and it's over if you lose it all, how about it?"

Napa still seemed a little reluctant, turned her head and said: "I don't like your human games, especially this kind of chess (harmony) card game, which looks very complicated."

Ai Luo quickly put on a smile and said: "Well! You can play with my money now, as long as you don't lose it all before today's rest point, how about I buy you some local specialty dairy products tonight? In addition, there are small dried fish, dried meat, etc., it must be enough!"

With the lure, the disgusted expression on Napa's face immediately became energetic.It glanced back at Airl, and asked tentatively, "Really?"

Airl smiled: "Really, never lie."

"...Hmph! Well, then I'll try to play a couple of games!"

Saying that, the cat immediately sat down in the position where Airl had just been, stretched out the meat ball and slightly gathered the coin in front of it under its stomach, and began to watch Cream shuffle the cards.

Cream smiled, nodded and said, "Since the vice president wants to play, then I will accompany you. Well, the vice president may not understand our rules very well. This game is considered teaching, not money. In this way— —”

"No need no need!"

Unexpectedly, Napa waved her hand directly, looking eager to try, her tail was constantly dangling——

"You guys have been playing for so long along the way, and you've learned the rules. Come on, let's get started!"

The gamblers sitting around were also a little surprised seeing the vice-chairman showing such an eagerness to try.But soon, Cream placed the shuffled cards, which also symbolized the official start of this round.

Watching everyone playing cards, Airl smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the corner of the carriage, squeezed a little beside Suta, and sat down.

Seeing this "male" president casually squeezed into his side again, Suta suddenly realized that he had gotten used to it?She didn't show any disgust or nervousness, she just moved aside and didn't speak.

"I believe that the capital must have a cure for your husband."

Airl put his hands on his knees, looked at Bass macaroons lying on the futon, smiled, and said.

Suta's eyes turned to her husband again, and the smile on her face no longer looked so aggrieved and lonely.She also nodded and said: "Yes, I believe so too. Moreover, I believe that even if there is no way in the capital, there must be a way to make my husband better in this world."

Seeing the confident smile on Suta's face, Ai Luo also smiled and said: "It can be seen that your spirit is really much better now. Compared with the time when you first came to our guild , you are so timid that you dare not even say a word. Seeing you smiling so happily now, I am also very happy to be the president."

Suta covered his face, his cheeks blushed for a while, and said a little shyly, "President, what are you talking about... I just think... I just think..."

With the divergence of thoughts, the blush on Suta's face gradually faded, but the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disappear.She raised her head, looked at the guild members who were lively playing cards, and said slowly: "President, I said these words...don't be angry."

Airl leaned against the railing of the carriage, closed her eyes slightly, nodded slightly, and responded.

"When I first met you that day, I really felt that everyone... was terrible. Especially at that time, you came to rob me and my husband. At that time, I really thought that our husband and wife were finished, and we might die there. "But, after getting in touch for a long time, I feel that each of you has become less scary. Especially you, the president, I always thought that you were the real master behind Pelican Town. I was really scared for a while...but now, now I feel...feel..."

Hearing Suta's hesitation, Airo opened his eyes and said with a smile, "What's wrong with me? It's okay, let's talk."

Suta shrank his neck: "President, can you not be angry?"

Ai Luo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be angry. After all, you are also one of my guild members. Why am I angry with my own members?"

Hearing what Airl said, Suta breathed out deeply as if he had received a talisman.But maybe she felt that such words were a bit impolite, she raised her hand, and quietly put it next to Ai Luo's ear, and then said softly: "Recently, I feel more and more that you, President, are like A girl...so, gradually, it became less scary."

Ai Luo, who seemed a little calm just now, was stunned by this simple sentence.The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he forced the corners of his mouth to maintain that smile for the first time, tried hard to control his voice, and said, "Then...why...you have such an idea? This thought... ahem... is indeed a bit... impolite."

Seeing that Ai Luo did not show any anger now, Suta let out a breath, and then continued to bite his ear at Ai Luo: "I just have a feeling... Sometimes I also think that President Ai Luo could be so angry. Is it a girl? I have never seen a girl as strong as you, the president. Although you don't have any power, I can see that the entire guild is centered on you. You Strong, brave, decisive, and a kind heart like a paladin. If your skills are a little better, you can definitely become an excellent paladin."

Having said that, Suta turned around and looked at her husband who was already very thin with longing eyes again.After a while, she shook her head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I'm sorry, President, maybe you are really... a little too beautiful. You are so beautiful and cute, so sometimes I don't know I feel like you are a woman—”

"Okay! Don't you want to play cards together?!"

Airl quickly amplified his voice, stretched out his finger and pointed to the heated "battle situation" over there, and said with a smile.

At this time, I saw that the cat's hair was all tied up, and its body was also arched, as if it was about to pounce on the enemy!After Brad finished playing the cards, he stretched out his claws and quickly took out three cards from the top of the deck, held them up and looked at them, then quickly played one of the trick cards, and said loudly: "Haha! My defense It can be said to be impenetrable! You human beings, absolutely don’t want to break through my fortress! Come, come, play cards! My formation is about to take shape! It’s up to you! Hurry up!”

Seeing the cat playing so excitedly, Suta felt a little shy.She quickly shook her head and said with a smile: "If my husband can wake up, he must also like to play... He used to like to play "National War Cards". But for me... I'll still watch it here Let's all fight."

"Ahhhhhh! No way!"

Just as Suta's voice fell, Margaux suddenly scratched her hair and stood up with a look of despair.Because of the shaking of the carriage, she seemed a little unsteady, and quickly reached out to grab the gap in the ceiling.After her fair head of white hair was messed up by herself, the "nun," who had now completely given up all appearances for gambling, tossed her cards and said, "What the hell! I Why are the cards always so bad?! Suta! Suta, come here!"

Chapter 680 Three Blood Swallow Town

As she said that, the nun walked around the crowd without saying a word, grabbed Suta and pulled her to the side of the "card table", and said, "You come too! This casino needs two adult players." Intellectual beauties can only sit in town, this can't go on like this!"

Ke Ke on the other side also threw the cards in his hand, pointed at Margot and blushed and said, "What do you mean? Blame me if you lose?! What is an intellectual beauty? Am I not a beauty?!"

Regardless of Suta's struggle, Margo forced her to his side, and turned her back to Coco, saying: "You? Let's talk about it when your hair grows! Just now, the vice president's soldiers lineup was obviously collected. Magic troop, you are fine, a small ice spell has used up the spell-clearing card in your hand?! Suta, you are sitting here today, I promise you will not take the card of the defender, so you must be careful Cooperate with me!"

Suta: "But...but I..."

Napa: "Hahaha! Don't talk so much nonsense, my lineup has been completed! Who are you going to attack me? Come on! Come on! Play magic in front of me? Even if it's playing cards, my magic is also you guys Thousands of times that of human beings! Hahaha! My magician lineup is strong, right? Powerful! The perfect magician lineup!"

Cream: "Damn..."

Brad: "So, the magic card · magic power is forbidden. You can't use any magic-related items or magic attacks for two rounds. Is this okay?"

The next moment, everyone around the pile of cards stopped arguing instantly, and everyone and the cat stared blankly at the magic card that was suddenly played.Also after just a few seconds, Napa immediately turned over, looking as if she was about to die.The pink meat ball was even more unwilling to scratch on the floor, and at the same time, it didn't even say a word, just "meow meow" in anger and despair.

The others were all cheering, offering their own applause for this battle that turned defeat into victory.

The sudden burst of cheers in the carriage seemed too much, and even Cheese, who was falling asleep on the other side, got up angrily now, and grabbed the chests of the two big men Brad and Cream with a curse, exposing himself fangs, roaring for them to be quiet.Of course, his sudden get-up annoyance also made the female members look happier, and they also made a fuss together.

Let's just say it... Napa loses her own money when she loses at cards.But seeing how excited the members are now, Ai Luo feels that the money spent is not too bad.

It's just that after what Suta said just now, he couldn't help pressing the hat on his head again, and at the same time pinched his throat to feel his own voice.

Yes, I am already 17 years old.

The voice of a 17-year-old boy, no matter how you say it, shouldn't be like this...

However, the time is coming.

The last three months... only the last and last three months.

Playing cards all the way, the sound of the wheels of the carriage has become the most peaceful sound in this simple journey.

As the sun gradually moved westward, Song of the Mermaid's trip today finally reached a resting point.From afar, you can see a small town appearing in front of you.If there is no error in the route calculation, it should be today's end point.

"Okay, okay, we are going to enter Xueyan Town, everyone packs up, cleans up the cards and things, and calculates the bets and other things, don't wait until the hotel is too busy .”

Airl clapped his hands and let everyone start packing their things.

While the members were tidying up, Airl moved from the side door to the driver's seat where the coachman was in front, and said with a smile: "Coachman, it's the same as a few days ago, just find a hotel and let us stay. .”

The driver of the carriage agreed, but at the same time he agreed, he also said: "President of Song of the Mermaid, although it is not appropriate for me, an outsider, to say such a thing, but it is to take care of my business, so I give you If you are still thinking about finding a similar hotel in a small town as easily as you did two days ago, then you are thinking too much."

Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment, and the smile on his face could not help but pause for a moment: "This... how do you say it?"

The coachman chuckled, "Look for yourself."

Hearing what the coachman said, Airl also turned his head and began to look around the Blood Swallow Town.

Indeed, this city is indeed a bit different compared to the rest of the towns before.

This small town doesn't seem to have much vitality now, not to mention that there are no shops on the streets, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets.Occasionally, I saw a townsman coming out of a nearby building. His face was also full of dishes, as if he was malnourished.And when they saw this galloping carriage, they also immediately retracted into their room, with the door ajar, and secretly looked towards this side.

This made Airl a little strange.He thought for a while and said, "Isn't that right? I came to this town more than two years ago, shouldn't this town be like this?"

Just as he was talking, the carriage driver parked the carriage at the door of a two-story building with a small hotel sign hanging crookedly at the door, and said: "Then I will send it here, and then I will send it to you on the next road." No more, it’s too far away. Find another carriage in this small town.”

Airl nodded, and after asking his guild members to move all the things down, he paid the money and asked the carriage driver to pull the cart back the same way.It didn't take long, only the members of Song of Mermaid and the big and small bags were left on the whole street, but there was no other movement.

Cheese flicked his top hat a little, glanced at the side of the building, just saw a figure flashing through the window, sneered, and said: "It seems that this town is really Very exclusive."

Arrow frowned and said, "This shouldn't be? When I came here more than two years ago, it wasn't that tense? Well... In short, everyone be careful. Now this is not Pelican Town, not ours. Within the sphere of influence, be more careful. After staying for one night, hire a carriage tomorrow and leave."

After giving orders to everyone, Airl raised his foot, pushed open the door of this hotel, and walked in.

The atmosphere inside the hotel is similar to the dead silence on the street outside, but the huge hotel doesn't have any lighting, and the overall building looks very depressing, which leads to not much light here at all.

Margo, who was behind, shook the staff in his hand slightly, and the head of the staff of light radiated light, illuminating the lobby of the hotel.

All I can say is...it's really dilapidated here.It looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time in the small space, and there are even some spider webs hanging above the head.If it wasn't for the open sign on the counter over there, Arrow would really think that he had entered a haunted house. "anyone there?"

Brad raised his head and yelled.

After a long time, a voice finally came from the back of the hotel.A man in his 50s or [-]s, who looked a little out of shape, hobbled out from the side door, walked slowly behind the counter, and stood up.After the man raised his head and glanced at everyone present, he said, "Are you... staying at the hotel?"

Airl frowned slightly.But he didn't say anything, so let's leave it to his subordinates at this time.

Brad walked forward with a face of indifference, and said, "Yes, we need three rooms, two triple rooms and one single room."

"Wait a minute, Brad, it's time to take it easy."

Cream on the side stretched out his hand to stop the big man from making a reservation. He walked to the counter and said with a smile: "Boss, your store... seems a bit bad? Are there any other hotels in your town? I see Can you find a cleaner one?"

The innkeeper's face did not show the painful feeling that the business was about to fly away, but he looked very indifferent and said listlessly: "It's cleaner... I don't know, one year... just one year , I’m almost the only hotel left in our small town. If you don’t want to live there, that’s fine, anyway, there are many empty houses in our town, so you can just find a place to stay.”

Such an answer made Airl a little strange.He looked at the environment of the hotel again, and just when he wanted to speak, Ke Ke ran up the stairs, looked at it for a while, then ran down immediately, and said to Ai Luo: "Brother President ! The smell upstairs is so bad! It smells like mold, I don't really want to live here..."

Airl exhaled, smiled at the little necromancer, and gave her a little comfort: "Just for one night, let's make it happen."

With that said, Ai Luo turned his head to the boss and said, "We don't choose anything, just one night will be enough. By the way, boss, can you book a carriage for us? We want to go to the capital, and we will leave tomorrow morning." .”

The innkeeper raised his head and glanced at Airl and the others. It seemed that he had finally seen what these people looked like until now.

After seeing Song of the Mermaid, which was obviously a team of adventurers, the innkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "You... go to the capital?"

Ke Ke jumped down from the stairs, and said happily: "Yes! Go to the capital! Our mermaid song is going to participate in the guild championship battle!"

The innkeeper looked at the team in front of him again, his eyes seemed to be hesitating.

But after hesitating for a long time, the light in his eyes finally dimmed, and he said slowly: "Okay, the rooms on the second floor are all empty, you can choose by yourself. For the accommodation fee, there are so many of you, just pay for it alone. A copper coin. It may be more difficult to use a horse-drawn carriage, and our town does not have a special carriage for transporting guests. I will help you later and ask my friend if the bullock cart can pull you."

Airl nodded lightly. When Cream began to check in, the other members carried all the luggage upstairs one by one.

Walking up to the second floor, Airl finally understood what Coco meant by saying that she couldn't live.

The floors on the second floor of the hotel are all broken, and there are even potholes in some places.The corridor was completely airtight, so there was a very pungent smell of rotting wood.

Arrow held his nose and tried his best to tell himself that he was only staying for one night and that he didn't need to be too particular.

Pushing open a few doors, the terrible smell still permeates from it.Everyone resisted the terrible smell and opened all the doors and windows, trying their best to ventilate.After a long time, the air on the second floor finally eased a little.

"What's going on in this town?"

After arranging for her husband to lie down on a slightly tattered bed next to her, Suta looked a little nervous and asked.

Airl glanced at her and said, "Don't ask, don't make trouble. We're just going to sleep here for one night, and we're leaving early tomorrow morning. Don't worry about extra things."

When Ai Luo said this, Suta simply covered his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
