Gold is Justice

Ai Luo knew that this guy was bluffing, but he didn't want to cause trouble now, so he continued to smile and said: "No, no, how could we rebel? And we, Mermaid Song, have no enmity with you, let alone us A serious guild, not some mercenaries, we will not do such things as orders to kill people. It's just..."

Airl glanced at the young man and woman next to him, and after thinking about it, he finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and continued to smile and said, "We just stayed here for one night, but we saw early in the morning that you wanted to send a The young man was crushed to death. So I want to ask what's going on? Is there any room for mediation?"

Xian stared at Ai Luo's face for a long time, as if he had estimated the power gap between the two sides, he snorted, pointed at the boy and said, "This guy wanted to assassinate me last night, if it wasn't for me If he reacts quickly enough, he might succeed! He wants to kill me, so wouldn't it be very reasonable for me to want to kill him now?"

The coffee was ready now, he gritted his teeth, faced the earth mage over there with a stubborn face, and shouted loudly: "Fuck you, it's reasonable! You want to take away the milk! You're still taxing us! You A complete vampire... you just come out to cast a spell every time the spring and autumn planting seasons, and you will take away 50.00% of our income!"

Fortunately, Cheese is not here now, but is sleeping on it... Otherwise, Ai Luo is really worried that this boy will be directly caught by the Night Clan and sucked blood.

"Hmph! You lowly peasants who don't know what to do, how dare you ask me?!"

Xian seemed to have seen that these outsiders in front of him should not interfere too much in his affairs, so his arrogance gradually became arrogant.He waved the staff in his hand and shouted loudly——

"If I didn't help you prepare the farmland, where would you get so much food to harvest? If I didn't work so hard to help you sell the food, where would you make so much money?! 50.00% is considered to be High? It seems that you really don’t know the cruelty of this world. In those places with better harvests, it can be said that the lords’ tax revenue of over 75% can be seen everywhere! You only have 50% now, which is considered very good for me. How merciful! How dare you speak hard?!"

Although he scolded very harshly, it could be seen that the mayor was still worried about so many people on Ai Luo's side, so he didn't dare to do anything directly.

For Airl, the current situation is very troublesome.

Forget it... In fact, I don't have any good reason to intervene.After all, this is a matter of the town. The mayor of the town is willing to increase so much taxes, and the townspeople in their town have not reacted much. It is really hard for outsiders like myself to say anything.

But if you don't care about it, it is estimated that as soon as Song of the Mermaid leaves, the boy's life will be entrusted here immediately.

Ugh……

If you have confessed, let’s confess. If you can’t recognize the form, you think that as long as you have a passion, you can overturn all the injustices in one go. It’s still not feasible after all.Sometimes, some people do need to die.After all, from an economic point of view, even if the mayor is driven away, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It is impossible for Song of the Mermaid to stay here forever, let alone be an enemy of all the lords in high-tax places forever.

After a long time, Mayor Xian became a little more courageous when he saw that Ai Luo was silent all the time.He snorted and continued: "In short! President of Mermaid Song, this matter is still our town's business. If you want to be a tourist and stay in our town for a day or two, I welcome you as mayor. But if you still want to meddle in your own business, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing that the mayor began to issue the order to evict the guests, Ai Luo rolled his eyes, then smiled, spread his hands, showing a very calm smile and said: "Okay, okay, Mayor Xian, don't be so nervous Well, I don't have any hostility, and I didn't say that I want to stop you from doing anything. Hmm... I think, can we have a little talk in private? Just as our guild came to your town, always thinking about a little Learn about the customs of your place, so how about we find a place to sit down and chat for a while?"

Seeing Ai Luo's smile now, Mayor Xian seemed a little hesitant.Although he couldn't feel any magical power emanating from the short president, those standing behind him were not simple adventurers.That necromancer alone is enough to make him drink a pot!

A guild leader who can easily drive necromancers... Don't look at him young, maybe his combat power has really broken through the sky, right?

After thinking for a moment, the expression on Mayor Xian's face softened a little.He snorted and said, "Do you really want to talk? Haha, okay! Then why don't you come to my house to talk first, how about it?"

Airl didn't care, and nodded immediately, showing his sincerity.

At that moment, Mayor Xian raised his hand, and the staff in his hand quickly turned into a chain made of rocks. He grabbed the boy's neck and pulled him up.

"Let's go! I'll spare your life now, but the fact that you want to kill me is not so easy to end! President Arrow, this way please, I will prepare good tea for you."

Following the mayor, the people in Song of the Mermaid walked slowly towards the most magnificent and beautiful building in that town.

Along the way, Mayor Xian seemed very vigilant all the way, as if he couldn't trust the people behind him at all.However, when he finally returned to his house and opened the door to let all the members of Mermaid Song enter his residence, the tense expression on the mayor's face finally relaxed a little.

Airl walked in the front, raised his head, and looked at this room with elegant walls, gorgeous chandeliers, a living room with a moderate temperature, and a very gorgeous carpet, with a slight smile on his lips.

He turned his head, and softly asked Cream who was looking around, "How is it?"

Cream raised his head, looked at the ceiling, couldn't help but snorted, and said, "There are a lot of magic traps, and they belong to the kind that can be activated easily. However, they don't seem to be complicated, they all belong to the kind that is very simple and easy to use." It can be resolved."

Margo in the back seemed very calm, smiled, and said softly: "Actually, it should be fine to let him activate it. My barrier should be able to block these magics. Keke, are you right?"

Little Keke pouted, looked at the mayor who took the boy into a small room next to her with a displeased face, gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, all the traps set by this guy are his own magic, so the strength is basically the same. That's all. It doesn't matter if they are all activated, I can also demolish his house by the way."

Ai Luo turned his head and looked at the little girl with a slightly serious look: "Ke Ke, how can you be so violent? The bad habit has come again, isn't it?"

Ke Ke was slightly taken aback, and quickly put away the ferocious look on his face, only slightly aggrieved, and said, "I'm just... just... forget it, I'm sorry... elder brother..."

Seeing that the little girl was still able to make corrections, Ai Luo smiled and nodded slightly.

After everyone rested in the living room for a while, the mayor Xian finally came out again.

Different from the appearance just now, at this moment he seems to have changed into a magic wand, and has a hat on his head, a necklace that seems to contain powerful magic power around his neck, and a magic cloak that looks like stronger.From the gap in the cloak, one could also see the faint glow of magic power on his belt.This whole set of equipment lasted all the way to the feet. Arrow even thought that the mayor of the magician might have even replaced his socks and underwear with combat ones, right?

"President Arrow, please sit down!"

Mayor Xian pointed to the sofa, but he didn't bring any tea, but just sat down on another sofa seat——

"What do you want to say?"

Airl smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Everyone, go outside the door now. Now I need to have a private chat with the mayor."

Brad's eyes suddenly became tense: "Alone? But President, this is too..."

"Don't worry, it's okay, I have my own measure."

Before Brad could fully expose his details, Arrow raised his hand to stop him.At the same time, he gently rubbed the "ordinary" white pet cat in his arms, and said with a smile: "You all go out, so that our mayor can speak more easily."

The members of the guild had nothing to say. After you looked at me and I looked at you, they finally all backed out.

After all the members had left, Airl raised his feet and put his legs up in a slightly relaxed way.While rubbing the kitten in his arms, he smiled and said, "Mayor Xian, I'm really sorry for making you feel so nervous." Mayor Xian tilted his head and looked up and down at the cat in front of him Short people will grow.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't sense any powerful magic power in this short man.In terms of non-magic combat ability, look at this thin arm and leg, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a combat player who can charge.

However, since the opponent can become the leader of a guild, and there are so many powerful players in the guild, Mayor Xian knows that he must not be careless.

After taking two steady breaths, Mayor Xian continued to maintain a vigilant posture, and said slowly: "I'm not nervous, but you, the president, what exactly do you want to say?"

Regarding this, Ai Luo showed a wry smile, shook his head lightly, and began to pour out bitter water: "What do you want to say? What can I say? Sigh... Actually, Mayor Xian, your blood swallow I really don’t want to care about the town’s affairs, really! Our guild is going to Hanhai City to participate in the guild championship battle. How can I have time to get into trouble in this kind of place? If it were you, when there is a very When an important game is in front of you, do you still have the mood to intervene in other things?"

This kind of communication was obviously beyond Mayor Xian's expectations. He tilted his head, looked at the short man in front of him with a slightly suspicious look again, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since you don't want to worry about it, what did you do just now?" What do those words mean?"

Ai Luo still maintained a helpless expression, sighed and said: "It's not what I mean, oh... really... You have seen the necromancer in our guild, right? Well, she is a good girl." .Although she is an affinity for the magic power of death, in the two years in our guild, she has washed away her previous violent personality and gradually become a good boy. Do you think she is cute? Hee hee , such a cute little necromancer, you must also think she is a good child, right?"

Faced with such an expression of eagerly seeking affirmation from Ai Luo, Mayor Xian couldn't figure out what he wanted to say.He could only make do with Airl's words, and nodded: "Hmmmmmmmm, he does look like a good boy..."

"Right? Right! She's a good child, right! Sigh... Although she is a good child, she is sometimes too innocent. She is so innocent that she has no way to understand that many things in this world are actually not that simple. .”

Airl changed into a helpless expression again, and continued to say——

"Her sense of justice is a bit strong, and what I taught her is to let her always maintain this sense of justice. So when she sees something unfair recently, she seems to jump up to maintain justice. Hmm... ...It should be said that it is a kind of vanity that children of this age will have? They think they are the heroes of this world, who can save all innocent people, defeat all evil, and become the savior in everyone's mind. Hehe, I believe that when Mayor Xian was young, he should also have such a memory with a little shame, but also a little sweet memory, right?"

Maybe it's because the short man's long voice is very sweet, or maybe it's because his face is really handsome, and he doesn't look aggressive at all.In addition, at this moment, the words that the short president said were all homely and plain, so the vigilance in Xian's heart gradually faded involuntarily.

Speaking of which, remembering the past self...

Mayor Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about 30 years ago.At that time, he was just a brat, and when he suddenly discovered that he could make the ground bulge a little with his own thoughts, after realizing that he was originally an affinity for the magic power of the earth element, he really did have such a feeling. A period of time that seemed to be in the second grade, happy, and a little shameful.

Chapter 680 The Respect From Talking

This kind of memory made the tension on Mayor Xian's face finally subside completely, he nodded, with a very rare smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "So that's the case, um... Now that I think about it, it's true. There was such a period of time. Young people are full of blood, and I can understand it now."

Seeing that the mayor's tone began to relax, Ai Luo continued to step up and said: "Well, it's really great to have the mayor's understanding! So, I, the guild leader, will officially add to this little girl of our guild. I would like to sincerely apologize to you for your troubles. Mayor Xian Digger, I am truly sorry!"

With that said, Airl got up, put the pet cat in his arms on the sofa, and immediately bowed to the mayor in front of him.

Seeing that Ai Luo is so sincere now, the last trace of vigilance in Mayor Xian's heart finally dissipated.He got up quickly, waved his hands with a smile on his face, and said, "Oh my! I didn't expect the president of Mermaid Song to be so knowledgeable! No, no, no! You are really too polite."

After bowing, Airl stood up, and after a moment of politeness between the two parties, they sat down again.

Ai Luo smiled and said: "Mr. Mayor, you can forgive the recklessness of the little girl in our guild. I really admire your size! It is really amazing that Xueyan Town can have such an excellent mayor like you." Blessings for these people~~~"

Mayor Xian laughed, his face was flushed, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "Oh, what are you talking about! My management is really not very good. Sigh... After all, it's really really good to manage this town recently. What's more, I'm getting more and more tired. These untouchables have become more and more disobedient to my management recently, so that I have to kill two people every now and then to scare them. Tell me, can't they live in peace? As a The mayor is also reasonable, and I won’t make them unable to survive at all! Tell me, President Arrow, it’s impossible for me, the mayor, to work in the fields myself? If the tax I want is too high, let them all If I can’t bear to run or die, who will I ask to work for me? Should I go to the ground by myself?”

Ai Luo clapped his hands, also laughed, and nodded again and again: "That's right, we people provide the people below with a place to work, they don't know how to thank us, but think that we have treated them badly." Oppression? It's simply unreasonable! They never thought that without your magic, Mayor Xian, where would they get so many crops to harvest? By then, they won't be able to eat enough, so why would there be so much nonsense?"

With a slap, Mayor Xian patted his thigh vigorously, looking at Ai Luo's eyes as if seeing a lifelong confidant, he gave Ai Luo a thumbs up, gestured continuously, and said loudly : "Yes, yes, yes! President Arrow, what you said is absolutely correct! I see, I just let them eat too much! Only when they are too full can they have the courage to resist me! In their eyes , as the mayor of my life, I live so chicly. It seems that every spring and summer I just need to cast a magic spell and everything is over. At other times, I am in a daze in my office. Where do so many good things come from! I am also very busy Is it okay? I also have a lot of pressure and a lot of things to deal with!"

As soon as he talked about the troubles he encountered, the mayor immediately moved his seat, sat down on the sofa next to Ai Luo, and said as if he wanted to pour bitter water on his friend: "President Ai Luo Do you know? Actually, I don’t want to raise taxes all the time. If I am alone, what’s the use of raising taxes so much? Where can I spend the money I earn? But ah, I can’t use it, but I have to get through it It doesn't matter, the association asks for a lot of money!"

Arrow was slightly taken aback, and said, "Association? Royal Society of Magicians? Oh, you joined this association."

Seeing that Ai Luo was not very clear about the association, Mayor Xian was even more sure that the chairman in front of him was not a magician.Since he was not a magician, he felt more at ease, and continued to pour out his bitterness: "Yes! Association."

"In fact, if you really want to say, there are really many benefits to joining the association. If we mages are born as commoners, if we want to climb up, the only way is through the Royal Society of Magicians. It takes a lot of money!"

"If you can successfully become a court magician, then the income and status will be completely different! What am I, a small mayor like me? At that time, people will directly eat the royal rations, and they don't have to manage things at all. To give birth, you just need to take good care of yourself, and then do your best to cultivate your magic power!"

"Well, my magic is not very strong, and I don't have much time to practice, so I don't want to be a court magician. But on the other hand, even if I am not a court magician, I also want to be able to have some higher-level magic skills." The title status of the magician! Didn’t it say that the magician hierarchy was announced last year? So I wondered if I could get a higher-level professional title, so that I could get a little more money from the royal family every year, and bright It’s also a bit of a face to come out.”

Airl smiled and said, "Professional title? Well, I've heard of it too. It seems that there are five levels, right?"

Mayor Xian nodded and said, "That's right, there are five levels: Magician, Specialized Magician, Law God, Great Law God, and Great Magister. Each level is divided into three ranks. The first few In [-], I was still in the lower rank of magician. It was because after I announced such a rank, I wanted to improve my class, so I increased the tax. I have been promoted to the upper rank of magician this year. Wait until next year, if I work harder, If I can obtain the special title of 'Earth Magician', I will be able to obtain a special grant from the royal family. At that time, I can even generate some appeal, so that more people will come to our Blood Swallow Town to live and travel. When I get the special funds, I can also repair the roads in our town. This kind of thing is a good thing for everyone! But those untouchables don't understand this, and instead fight with me all day long. Do it right! Sigh... I am really helpless."

Ai Luo nodded sincerely, and then said: "Mayor Xian, I think you may be responsible for the opposition of your townspeople."

"Huh?" Mayor Xian's original expression on his confidant suddenly changed, and he seemed a little excited.But that's what Ai Luo wanted, he continued to put on a smiling face, and said: "I only said this because I saw that the mayor of Xian could have a good chat. I regard you as a friend, so you may be a little angry if I say something. If so. Then... I think so, you have always felt that all the townspeople are against you, and you will even kill a few rebels to make them listen to you. But in this way, your side You are alone, you are really weak."

"If you say that you can give some benefits to some people in the town who support you, for example, as long as they can work hard, do not oppose themselves, and are obedient, they can reduce the tax by about 5.00% to [-]%. , so that some townspeople may immediately change their attitude towards you and start working harder, regardless of opposing you."

"Besides that, you also need to cultivate your own power. Of course! I understand! For a magician with the upper level of magician strength, it doesn't matter even if all the townspeople in the whole town rush to attack you But this is too tiring, right? So, if you can deliberately win over some people who are willing to work hard for you, as long as you give them a little favor to make them stand on your side, that would be even better. For one thing, if someone opposes you, then the first one to jump out to defend you is not yourself, but those who have been bought by you."

"Besides, it's better for you to restrain yourself as much as possible in the future. Ah, I'm not saying that you should be timid, but I'm saying that all the things about being violent and evil should be handed over to those who are on your side. Just do it. Instead, you have to present an image of amiability and impartiality to the other townspeople."

"In this way, I believe that the townspeople who were all fighting against you in the first place will be divided into two factions, and you can instead exist as a mediating role to appease the two sides. I believe that it won't take long before you can Maybe he will become a good person in the mouth of all the townspeople in Xueyan Town!"

After Ai Luo finished talking, the mayor Xian in front of him was already stunned, with his mouth half open, unable to utter a word.

After calming down for a long time, the mayor suddenly got up, put the staff in his hand aside, took off his hat and the magic cloak on his body and hung them on the staff together, and saluted Airl again. .

"Respected President Airl, it is the luckiest thing in my half life as a ground digger to know a friend like you! May I ask your real identity?"

Seeing Mayor Xian's sincere attitude, Ai Luo also became a little nervous. He waved his hands again and again, but he didn't get up, and said with a smile, "It's all right! That's all I'm saying. My real identity? Oops. , I don’t have any real identity, at most I just graduated from Old Tengshu Academy.”

"Oh! It turned out to be an outstanding student of Lao Tengshu Academy!"

At that moment, Mayor Xian's eyes were filled with reverence!

Chapter 680 IX The Price

"No wonder, that's no wonder! Only an academy like Old Tengshu can cultivate such outstanding young people as President Airl! Oh, it's no accident that President Airl was able to master such a large guild at such a young age. I have really learned a lot, I have learned a lot!"

It took half a day to finally make this person feel respect for himself.Arrow exhaled slightly, continued to smile and said: "Now that you understand, mayor, now is the best opportunity to practice. That boy named Coffee...Mr. Mayor, you might as well start with the whole child Let's do it, how about it?"

At that moment, Mayor Xian seemed to realize something.He turned his head, and the originally reverent eyes returned to normal at this moment.

Seeing the mayor's eyes, Airl couldn't help but twitched in his heart.But even though he was a little guilty in his heart, he still had to maintain that smiling expression on the surface.

After the two sides observed each other for a while, the doubt and vigilance on the mayor's face finally dissipated.He laughed haha, pointed at Ai Luo and said: "I see, President Ai Luo is waiting for me here? Hahaha, so that is the case, President Ai Luo is also taking great pains! Well, I understand you very well. .”
