Gold is Justice

Immediately afterwards, there was a most brazen massacre.

Countless thick-fleshed starfish were dragged up from the farm, just like what Song of the Mermaid did just now, these adventurers quickly took off the mouthparts of the starfish, and threw the starfish aside to die .

Each guild needs 200, which means that this project is huge!In a blink of an eye, the whole village was already filled with dead starfish.The village couldn't let it go anymore, so they took off the starfish's mouthparts and threw them back into the sea.

Those thick-fleshed starfish struggling to death are now constantly struggling on the ground, bleeding out, even dyeing the place bright red.The blood had even stained the surrounding sea red, attracting something.

Airl let out a breath, and his eyes looked towards the cabin over there again.Turning his head, he also looked at the villagers who were crying bitterly because all the hard work of the whole year had been destroyed.

Then...

"It's true that they don't have a license to operate. However, we are the Adventurer's Guild."

Just when all the guilds were cutting thick starfish in full swing and cheering for the task they were about to complete, Airl's voice suddenly came from behind the piranha.

The piranha wiped off the blood on his face, turned his head and saw the short man who only reached his chest, he couldn't help but sneered.He raised his foot and stepped on the remains of a thick fleshy starfish, and said, "What? You don't want to say that you haven't done this kind of thing, do you? Before we arrived, your guild beat him up first." Ah. Haha! Thinking about it this way saves me trouble. But thinking about it, if you don’t beat them up, then those villagers will definitely be beaten up by us. They can only maintain minor injuries if they are beaten by you, but if they are beaten by us Hit, but it's not that easy."

Airl shook his head slowly, and didn't answer the question, but continued to say in a voice that could be heard by all the adventurers around: "We are the Adventurer's Guild, we are not a mercenary group. We don't do robbery, theft, Murder and other illegal activities. The reason why the Blue Bay Empire agrees with the existence of our adventurer guilds is because our guilds can be used to maintain local order in places where the empire's troops do not go to govern."

"So, even if these villagers don't have any business licenses, these thick-fleshed starfish are their painstaking efforts for more than a year, maybe even two or three years. If we really don't keep any money, then It’s like driving them to a dead end.”

"I'll say it again, we are the Adventurer's Guild, not the Mercenary Corps. We shouldn't force the people of such a village to die just to complete our own mission!"

Airl yelled so loudly that it was impossible for the adventurers next to him to hear it even if they didn't want to.

The adventurers looked up, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then lowered their heads to look at the fleshy starfish they were slaughtering now.

If you are a serious adventurer, what you do on weekdays is to accept the entrustment of the neighbors in the neighborhood. Of course, it is impossible to purely benefit yourself at the expense of others.Now, the expressions on their faces have also changed slightly, and some people even stopped their hands, as if shaken.

But for piranhas, such rhetoric is simply a joke——

"Runned to a dead end? Hahaha! It's a joke! Mermaid, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't you just pity these villagers! Don't you just want to get more money for them so that they can continue to live! If you really pity them, why don't you take out the money yourself and give it to them? Instead, it's all on us?"

After a slight pause, the piranha raised its head, snorted coldly at the villagers who were slowly gathering over there, and said, "Speaking of which, why didn't they apply for a license? And what happened this time? I thought about it myself, why did such a small task in the second mission require such a large amount of mouthparts from thick-fleshed starfish? It’s fine if it’s starfish meat, but what does it mean to have mouthparts?” But now I figured it out, it turned out that this is the case! In fact, the original purpose of this is to drive out all the villagers on this island, right?"

With a clatter, the piranha pointed its shark-toothed knife at Airl and the villagers behind Airl, laughing loudly——

"In other words, if we kill all these villagers now, it would be a great thing, right? Hahaha!"

Ai Luo's complexion changed slightly, but then he sneered and said, "You are too courageous. The most important thing about the mission is to drive them away. If you really kill them, it will be so troublesome." It's big."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Is it a big trouble? Well, yes, it's really a big trouble!"

As he said that, the man-eating whale picked up his shark-toothed knife again, and laughed loudly: "If we kill all these villagers, then the newspapers in two days should directly publish that we adventurers rushed so far On an archipelago, killing all these 'innocent' villagers has become a thing? At that time, the real messenger who issued the mission to us will condemn us with righteous words, and then, under the hope of the people, I bought this archipelago at a very low price. When I came here, I discovered that the environment of this archipelago is really good! No matter how it is developed, it is much more valuable than breeding thick meat starfish!"

"Mermaid, tell me, if I do something like this now... Hehehe, will the 'master envoy' secretly reward me while condemning us?"

In an instant, Airl's pupils dilated.

He looked at the man-eating whale in front of him, and from the unscrupulous smile on his face, Airl could tell that this man was serious!He really wants to carry out such a plan!

Airl shook his head, and immediately said: "Aren't you afraid of being disqualified?!"

Piranha snorted: "The rules only say that you can't use violence against other guilds, but it doesn't say that you can't use violence against ordinary villagers. Besides, after the news spread, the first person who attacked these villagers for no reason was You mermaids, to put it bluntly, as long as I can drag you mermaids to be eliminated together, I don't care whether I kill or not."

If he could shout it now, Arrow would definitely curse the pirate without hesitation!

This kind of shamelessness and coercion even made Airl feel a little angry, wanting to make an impulsive move.

However, he still tried his best to suppress his terrible emotions, and said in a slightly soft voice: "Mr. Man-eating Whale Julang, you have always taken the initiative to trouble me. I don't know what sugar-coated wine is doing to you. What was said, but there shouldn’t be much personal enmity between us.”

Seeing Airl lower his voice, Orca also knew that the short man was starting to soften.He lowered his head, exhaled slightly at Airl with his mouth with strong bad breath, opened his mouth, and said with a smirk——

"Yeah, the old man asked me to prevent you from succeeding. You made so much money without me noticing! Yu Gong, the old man wants you to fail, so I naturally have a duty to do so. Yu private, hehe, I can I haven't forgotten the war with the flower fairies in Fairy Forest. You blocked my way of making money, don't you think you can forget it so easily?"

Airl snorted, gritted his teeth, and said, "What do you want? Do you want me to retire? Let me tell you, it's impossible! I can lose openly, but I will never be coerced by you to surrender!"

The corner of the piranha's mouth twitched. He straightened up, looked at the villagers who seemed to be confused about what was going on, and suddenly said, "Mermaid, fight with us sea sharks!"

Airl shook his head immediately: "I won't do it, violence against other guilds is prohibited."

The man-eating whale laughed loudly, and said again: "Our two guilds are aboveboard, and we will fight without any insidious tricks! If you win, then I will pay the villagers here double according to your price. But if you lose... Hehe, I want you to admit that you used violence against our Sea Shark Guild after returning to Vast Sea City. How about it?"

The tone of this man-eating whale has become more and more arrogant, and Ke Ke behind him can't help it anymore.She took a step and said loudly: "Fight? Are we afraid of fighting?! Let me tell you! Don't think our president is bullying just because he is short! In order to maintain justice, our guild will definitely not mind fighting with you sea sharks !"

"Who said you want to fight? I don't agree to fight!"

It's a pity, before this heroic little girl had finished her addiction, Arrow rejected the duel invitation in the name of the guild leader.

Because there is no need to think about it at all.If you win, others will get 50 more gold coins. If you lose, your guild will be eliminated directly?How could anyone in this world make such a foolish bet?

After Airl rejected the proposal straightforwardly, he could only exhale again, and whispered to the man-eating whale in front of him: "Do whatever you want, anyway, I don't know the people here well, so you can kill them if you want." .But if you really want to do it, I just hope that you can do it a little faster. Try...not to leave any trouble."

After speaking, Airl completely ignored the expressions on the faces of the Mermaid Song members behind him, turned around and left.

But in fact, there is no need to worry about the expressions of the members. After all, they have experienced such expressions many times. After two more experiences, they will soon return to the original state, and there is no problem.Seeing that Airl left aggrievedly after coming together to say so many words, the sneer on the man-eating whale's face stiffened for a moment.

The words about massacring those villagers are actually three parts true and seven parts false. In many cases, they are said to be scary.But now the short president doesn't take his faults at all, he looks like you do what you do and I do mine. I feel sick all over.

He stared at the president of Song of the Mermaid, at his short back.

Eiro Garcia, an ordinary person without any magic affinity and combat ability training.One of the most ordinary young farmers you can see in any village.

Such a person dressed as an ordinary peasant has received special care from Mr. Sugar Coated Wine, and even formed such a guild?What is going on in all this?

The short man now began to look around, now and then in one direction.

Is he looking at that house?never mind.

But he won't leave, so what exactly does he want to do now?

The piranha felt that he really couldn't understand the idea of ​​this short man growing up.If it is possible to fight directly, the problem is simple.After all, as a former pirate, his favorite thing is to plunder at sea, and then use the money he earns to go to the Lantern District to get drunk and hang out with three or four prostitutes (harmony) until dawn .

If the opponent is also a pirate, then he can also use the pirate's unique experience and cunning to defeat the opponent.

But this time, what he was facing was not a pirate, but a guy who looked more like the president of a chamber of commerce than the president of the adventurer's guild.

Forget it, I don't want to.

In the end, the piranha decided not to think about those things, but turned around and continued to hunt the fleshy starfish.

Fighting from noon to the afternoon, when the sun was about to disappear from the horizon, the adventurers also began to pile up those mouthparts in the village.It can be seen that the tasks of each guild are now completed.

During the whole process, Song of the Mermaid led by Airl has been waiting and watching, but did not take any action.

After the sun had completely set, the guilds lit up torches or lighting magic one after another. The Song of the Mermaid also lit up the ball of light, watching the adventurers pack and tie up all the mouthpieces one by one.

"Okay! I have sent the signal, and a boat will come to pick us up tomorrow."

An adventurer spoke.At the same time, just like last night, these adventurers began to gather in twos and threes, cut up the carcasses of the thick-fleshed starfish, and roasted them with fire.

As for the villagers, they saw that all the painstaking efforts they had made in the past two years were completely wiped out, and each of them was already crying without tears, and they gathered together and secretly covered their faces.

And after all the adventurers finally sat down and began to eat and drink, Airl let out a breath slowly.He glanced at the wooden house again, and after showing a slightly anxious expression, he also got together with his family members and started eating roasted starfish.

When I got angry, the members looked at me one by one, and I looked at you, the expressions on their faces were completely gone from the previous sense of pleasure.

And Airl roasted pieces of starfish meat beside the bonfire, listening to the sound of oil splashing from the meat, immersed in his own thoughts for a while.

"President, I think it's better for you to explain this matter clearly."

At this moment, Margo suddenly spoke.She stretched out her hand, gently rubbed Coco's hair next to her, and said with a smile——

"If you don't make it clear, I don't care, but I'm worried that our little cutie won't be able to bear it."

Ke Ke was taken aback, and quickly got out of Margo's arms: "Who is the cutie? Who is the cutie?! I...I just can't stand it any longer! Brother president...the president is not It shouldn't be this kind of person!"

Hearing that the little girl didn't call him brother anymore, Ai Luo felt a little uncomfortable for a while.He turned the starfish meat in his hands one by one and continued to roast. After thinking about it, he finally let out a breath and said, "If you really want to know, you'd better hear from me next time. Everything I want is kept in my stomach, and I can’t tell anyone. Even Suta can’t say it.”

Brad froze for a moment, then got up immediately.Cream on the side quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Brad smiled honestly: "I'm stupid, and I may not be able to keep a secret. So I'd better not listen, I'll go over there, and I'll come back after you finish talking."

After finishing speaking, he nodded at Airl and continued to smile: "President, I was worried that you would become a villain. But I can hear the tone of your words just now, you are still my good president. So I You don’t need to listen to know, you are definitely a good person, so I don’t need to listen. Then I went over there and sat there.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There was a moment... no, there were many moments when Arrow really wanted to give the big man a raise!

But every time this happened, he would force himself to calm down and not be impulsive.The more loyal employees are, the less they need to raise wages. This is a good way to save money!

But... Oh, no, I still can't help it!It is impossible to increase wages, but bonuses can be given!After this guild championship battle, if everything goes well, he will definitely give Brad a big red envelope!

for sure!

Seeing Brad get up and leave, Cheese also clapped his hands and got up, leaving a sentence: "I don't listen anymore, I guessed it roughly, I'll go to accompany our soldiers."

Afterwards, the cheese also walked to the side with Brad.

Looking at the remaining people, Airl exhaled, and naturally expressed his guess——

"First of all, we need to clarify one thing, that is, the islands occupied by these villagers are actually controlled by the villagers. But in name, this is still the property of the empire."

"The reason why the empire doesn't care about this archipelago is entirely because it didn't think of it before. However, it doesn't mean that it will always be forgotten. Since more than ten years ago, the surroundings of this archipelago have begun to surround There is a warm current, so the warm sea water brings a lot of resources to the archipelago."

"The villagers have used these warm seawater to cultivate thick-fleshed starfish in the past ten years, but the villagers never imagined that as time went by, the empire certainly realized that in a place that is only one day's journey away from the capital, there is actually There will be an archipelago of such a large size, such a beautiful environment, and such a warm climate!"

"I don't know what the empire wants this archipelago to be used for, but whether it is for farming, sightseeing, or even for building a holiday palace, this is a perfect place. But this is a perfect place. Now the place where dozens of villagers use to breed meaty starfish as fodder?"

"The old man named Hai Weiming also said before that some people came to them in the past to talk about letting them move? Unfortunately, it was not a simple request for buying and selling, but to let them immediately Order to leave this sea area"

"Unfortunately, they have been refusing to move away. After coming and going, the empire has grown tired of these nail households that can't be driven away. But because of the favor of the empire, they can't really send troops over Directly drive away or kill these people. But if you use the guild system to entrust, you will also lose some handles. If it is publicized, it will not be a good thing for the face of the royal family."

"So, the royal family thought of using the format of this guild championship match to arrange two such unique task systems for the second match."

"First of all, it's the mission of the sea sand shell."

"The reason why this task is designed has two purposes. One is to create a sense of urgency for the guilds who have no way to complete the first task. Because human beings always have such a mentality, when they originally knew that there was only one chance If you are suddenly told that you have two chances, you will have a relaxed attitude towards the first chance. However, when the first guild fails and is irretrievable, people will be very particular about the remaining one. I will be more willing to pay a lot of price to complete it. This may be the so-called 'know how to cherish after you understand the loss'."

"And after the first psychological word is generated, the second use of the first task is to make hints."

"Sea sand shells can only live in warm waters, which will naturally make the remaining guilds work hard to find warm waters near Hanhai City. In this way, people will be naturally guided to the location of the mission."

"Then, for the second mission, hunt and kill 200 fleshy starfish, and bring back the mouthparts of the starfish."

"The real purpose of this mission is only one, and that is to allow us adventurers to bankrupt the island's economy in one go by hunting down fleshy starfish."

"There are not many farms for ordinary thick-fleshed starfish. Not only are there not many, because this kind of starfish is basically used as food or fodder for the poor, and there is not much economic value near Hanhai City, which relies on seafood. Therefore, the scale of those formal licensed farms is not large."

"If you want a place where a large number of guilds can hunt and kill 200 fleshy starfish, we adventurers will naturally find this remote archipelago without a license after some investigation."
