Gold is Justice

Airl smiled slightly, and said, "How can it be so easy, the next battle will be more difficult than the next."

Viscount Rich immediately put on a very incomprehensible expression, and said with a smile: "Hey! Don't spoil others' morale and destroy your own prestige! You are only three games away from reaching the summit. After these three games, you will be Champion!"

"Furthermore, you can easily defeat even the guild that defeated Hand of Heaven. It's really not unimaginable to win the championship, right?"

"Then, who will be your next opponent? Has it been decided? Oh, it hasn't been decided yet."

Seeing the happy appearance of Viscount Rich, Arrow really has nothing to say.He could only smile slightly, trying to look as calm as possible.At the same time, it is also necessary to vaccinate this sponsor——

"No matter who the next opponent is, luck cannot always be on our side. Viscount Rich, now we have not only broken through the first half of the schedule, we have even broken through the group stage. Not only that, because the Flower Fairy The reputation of our Mermaid Song Guild has already spread so far. I think that you asked us to help you make your name famous in Hanhai City, it should be considered complete, right?"

Viscount Rich held the wine glass in his hand, but the smile on his face froze for a while.

After a while, it was obvious that the viscount had a reluctant expression on his face, and said with a little nervousness: "That...Ai Luo, look, we are all from Pelican Town Yes. You should also know that we are also considered fellow villagers, so of course we should be able to discuss many things between fellow villagers, right?" Ai Luo chuckled and said, "Yes, of course we can discuss it, that's no problem. We signed the agreement at the beginning The contract is an agreement. As long as we successfully break through a game, we can get a sponsorship fee from you. If Viscount Rich's funds are in trouble...Although I want to help you as much as possible, but One can imagine that Song of the Mermaid is also very short of money now, right?"

After Arrow said that, Viscount Rich couldn't help but gasped.His mouth kept licking and licking, as if thinking about how there was any way to solve this problem.After a while, he finally let out a breath and said, "President Ai Luo, it's not that I don't want to pay. It's just that at the end of the year, many chambers of commerce want to take advantage of this opportunity to sell their products." Products. And Hanhai City is a seaside city, so... you should know it too, right?"

"Competition is fierce. Merchants who really want to stock up have already started stocking up half a year ago, and it is already severe winter, and no one will go to sea. Wald Fishery has no products to sell at this time. So I It’s true that the cash flow on the side is not very rich…”

Speaking of this, Viscount Rich immediately showed a very magnanimous look, slapped his chest, and said with a smile: "That's it! As soon as spring next year, I will go fishing immediately after the fishing ban is lifted, and then I will transfer the funds to the next Make up for your guild bonus this time, President Airl!"

Wait until next year?Do I still need to ask you to pay me if I wait until next year?

Airl smiled on the surface, but of course it was impossible to approve this plan in his heart.

He exhaled slowly and said, "Your Excellency, since this is the case, let's stop our cooperation here first. You can give me your bonus next year, so we will be the sponsor of the Mermaid Song competition next year." , then we should be able to find it again. Margo, has anyone come to us to discuss cooperation with Mermaid Song these days?"

Of course, Margot understood the meaning behind this, and immediately pretended to take out a small notebook from the pocket of the group, flipped through it, and said, "Well, there are indeed a few. A clothing store on the east side street, and a shop on the southwest side." A food business wants to come to us for cooperation with Song of the Mermaid. This is still yesterday. Let me look at the previous few days... And there is also a hat shop in the southwest corner, and there are other things Both clothing stores have come to discuss cooperation with us."

Viscount Rich walked over, wanting to reach out for the notebook in Singer.But just when he was about to reach out, Margo snapped the notebook shut, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile: "It's just that, since Song of the Mermaid has always said that we have a sponsor, the other party If you want to keep the money, that's fine. But if we want to provide them with endorsements, it really can't be done. After hearing such an answer, those shops all left."

Airl frowned slightly, then sighed slightly, and said slowly: "In this case, let's go out and visit these shops tomorrow. See if they are willing to talk to us again."

"Don't! Don't, don't! If you have something to talk about, you have something to talk about! President Arrow!"

Seeing that Airl was about to get serious, the chubby viscount finally couldn't bear it any longer. He quickly reached out to stop him, and said with a smile——

"Isn't it just money! Of course, I also know that your guild is about to face stronger opponents, and now is the time to need more equipment updates, and there are many places that need money. Sigh... alright! I will try to get some out... It's always okay, right?"

Hearing that the fat Viscount had finally paid out, Arrow could not help but close his ears and asked softly, "Excuse me, how much is it?"

Viscount Rich frowned and said, "How about thirty gold coins?"

Airl immediately showed a disgusted expression, and said to Margot next to him again: "Did you keep the specific addresses of those shops?"

"Don't, don't! Thirty...32! 33! Isn't that enough? So... how about 35 gold coins? No more, and there will be none!"

"Fifty gold pieces. That's the minimum."

Airl stretched out her hand, expressing her request without hesitation.

Seeing the five fingers stretched out by Airl, the viscount's face immediately seemed to be slapped twice, it was really pretty.However, when he saw Airl's still firm expression, he finally gritted his teeth and said——

"Fifty gold coins... Just fifty gold coins... All right, I promise you! All right!"

Ai Luo smiled slightly. Now that the business has been negotiated, it is necessary to give the other party a little sweetness.At that moment, Arrow waved his hand at Brad next to him. The strong man came over, pulled out a sword with a black scabbard from his waist, and placed it in front of Viscount Rich.

"what is this?"

Viscount Rich looked at the sword and questioned it.

Airl smiled, he instinctively stretched out his hand and wanted to hold the hilt of the sword, but when his hand was just about to touch it, a strong sense of disgust was flooded into his mind again.His fingers suddenly retracted, and after thinking for a while, he said with a smile——

"This sword is called the Demon Sword Silence. Viscount Rich can pull it out and have a look."

Rich grabbed the sword suspiciously and pulled it out. The dark mist-like shape and the extremely light sword made the Viscount also full of suspicion. "Is this... a magic sword? Good guy, your guild actually got this sword from the Iron Guild! But, why didn't you use it in the previous battle?"

Airl smiled and said, "This sword is useless. It's too light and blunt, and it can't kill people at all. So, I want to sell this weapon and get some money back. But our guild is now I'm all preparing to deal with the guild championship battle, and I really don't have the energy to think of a way to sell it. After thinking about it for a long time, I still think that I have to give this sword to Viscount Rich, and let you sell it. How much is it for sale? , we are one and half, what do you think?"

Viscount Rich once again weighed the weapon in his hand.

Obviously, this short and fat viscount doesn't know how to fight.But even people who don't know how to fight can feel that there is no harm in it when they feel such a sword that is as light as a branch and frustrating as a stone.

He stretched out his finger into the mist on the blade, and tried to scratch his finger with the edge.It turned out that there were no scars on his rough fingers.There is no difference except that when you put your finger in it, it is like hiding in another world.

"This thing... are you sure you can sell it?"

A suspicious look appeared on Viscount Rich's face.

Chapter 950: Battle Under the Snow

Airl shrugged and said with a smile: "Anyway, this weapon has been treasured by the Iron Guild for so many years, and look at the black mist on it, doesn't it look like any magic enchantment? It's more like this weapon. The sword itself has power. Such a unique thing, it is probably not an exaggeration to say it is a magic sword? Based on this alone, I think it can be sold for at least a hundred gold coins."

For Airl's conjecture, Viscount Rich snorted with his nose, appearing a little noncommittal.He put the sword back into the scabbard and said, "Okay, I'll try it. But don't get your hopes up too much. But it's not sure, if someone is willing to spend ten gold coins to buy this weapon Maybe."

Ai Luo looked indifferent: "In this case, at least fifty gold coins. If it exceeds fifty gold coins and how much it can be sold for, I will take half of it. Then, I will thank Xie Rui here. Viscount Chi."

Perhaps Viscount Rich thought Arrow was clueless.

When Airl uttered such words that were completely at his discretion, the corner of the viscount's mouth immediately raised a philistine smile.

Of course, Airl knew this well.He didn't even need to look at the smile on the viscount's face to understand what was really going on in his heart.

But for Airl, the current situation does not allow him to worry about this matter.After all, the most important thing for Song of the Mermaid now is to face the next guild championship battle.Although it is said that they have reached the top eight, how can they be said?

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants... At this point, even Airl hopes that he can go one step further... Go a little further.Then, make it to the Final Four...become a little bit stronger...take a step forward...that's the best!

As for how to play the next game...

Airl turned his head and looked at the blushing flower fairies who were drinking because of the wine in the narration, and could not help but smile slightly.

——1303年12月16日，赞助费：50金，生活费：-3金2铜，结余：908金7银2铜5铁（欠缴税金：119金2银8铜1铁，魔力结晶负债：600金）——

The time came to 1303, on December 12th, the guild championship battle, the quarterfinals.

Today, the weather is not beautiful, and it is no longer a beautiful sunny day.

Since the beginning of the morning, the entire sky has been filled with flying snow.Thick snowflakes fell from the sky as if to cover the entire Hanhai City, covering the streets, roofs, and even the river in this city with a thin layer of white ice.

The battle of Mermaid Song has already started.

This is their one-eighth match.

If you win, you will be able to enter the semi-finals.

If they lose, they leave.

The harsh winter weather made today's arena a bit quiet.In particular, the match in Song of the Mermaid was once again scheduled in broad daylight.

Even though the holy night festival is approaching, the festive atmosphere on the streets is very strong, but no matter how strong the festive atmosphere is, it does not mean that people can take a holiday and stop working.

Unlike Pelican Town, where the entire town stops once winter enters, the agricultural business in Hanhai City seems to be continuing, and it seems that it will not stop until the last moment.This also means that when most people go to work, the somewhat empty arena is really not a good shelter from the cold.

"call……"

Airl already had gloves on his hands and a thick padded jacket on his body.

He exhaled a little into his still cold hands, raised his head, and watched the battle on the field.

I really didn't expect that today's battle would be such a "coincidence".

Because the team standing in front of Song of the Mermaid is none other than the team that followed Song of the Mermaid and entangled almost the entire championship match - Sea Shark.

And the president of the Sea Shark Association, Piranha Julang, is now opening his mouth, revealing his sharp shark-like teeth, looking at the Song of Mermaid member in front of him with a sneer.

After observing for a while, the ex-pirate turned his head, and pointed the shark-toothed machete in his hand at Airl in the rest area. It seemed that he was sure of winning.

Airl wasn't worried about the Sea Shark Guild.

In the long-term contest, he has almost figured out how strong the Sea Shark Guild is.

If it was a year ago, or even half a year ago, with the configuration of the Sea Shark Guild against Song of the Mermaid, then Arrow would have panicked.

But after fighting for so much time, he was confident that the members of Song of the Mermaid already had rich combat experience, so it was completely impossible for this former pirate guild to become his obstacle.

If the two sides want to win, they will definitely need to fight head-to-head with their real skills. Only the truly strong are qualified to continue going down.This point, I believe that not only he, Eiro Garcia, but the sugar-coated wine Qiaoguo behind the Sea Shark Guild must also be very aware of this point.

Airl exhaled again into the gloved hands, and at the same time pulled the scarf around his neck a little, and pulled the wool cap on his head toward his ears.

The winter in Hanhai City is more icy than the winter in Pelican Town.It's not because the snow falls more here, but because the snowflakes in Pelican Town accumulate there quietly after falling, like a layer of white blanket, which accumulates naturally.However, the snow in Hanhai City will be trampled, melted, and then freeze again.During this whole process, Arrow only felt that the whole city was filled with a kind of eerie feeling.It made him wish he could place a brazier at his feet to keep warm.

On the field, the battle has begun.

Maybe the snow is really too big today, so even the host has not come, but the members of the referee team are all wrapped in thick coats and sitting in the corner, watching the game on the field To score.This really doesn't look like the quarter-finals at all, it's like a boring match that no one cares about at all.

"Huh...so, what's your business? Mr. Qiaoguo, sugar-coated wine."

After a while, Airl said slowly in an almost lazy voice.

At this time, an old man was already sitting comfortably beside him.

The old man leaned on crutches and was wearing a thick windbreaker. The scarf around his neck looked like a high-end product. The eyes on the bridge of his nose seemed to have been treated to keep warm, and the edges were glued with fine fluff.

Sugar-coated wine · Qiaoguo.

The man chuckled, as if he had completely forgotten that he planned to destroy the mermaid song 20 days ago, and even put the president of this guild under house arrest.

Regarding Airo's vigilant words, he just chuckled, raised the crutch in his hand and tapped it lightly on the ground, and said, "President Airo, I don't know what exactly you said to His Royal Highness the First Prince?" ?”

It turns out...it's because of this.

Ai Luo glanced at the corner of his mouth, but then put away his smile again, and said slowly: "Did I say something? I don't have the qualifications to enter the meeting hall and discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Ai Luo was so modest, Sugar-coated Wine laughed again, and said: "Why should President Ai Luo be too modest? We all know that the current concubine and you are good sisters and good friends. Since you can enter the palace, how can you be so modest?" What about returning home empty-handed? Of course, I wouldn't expect you to say anything nice about me to the First Prince."

Airl snorted again: "I know, you still ask."

The smile on Sugar-Coated Wine's face gradually faded, he sighed, shook his head lightly, and said, "Ariel—"

"Please call me Arlo, my name is Arlo Garcia now."

Arrow corrected the old man's words without changing his expression.

Sugar-coated wine froze for a moment, then after thinking for a while, he said again: "Ai Luo...Garcia...? Chairman Ai Luo, why do you still have the surname Garcia? This surname means nothing to you. It doesn't mean anything good."

Ai Luo didn't speak, just snorted, and responded: "Whether it's a good thing or not, you don't need to decide. Tell me quickly, what do you want to do."

Sugar-coated wine smiled slightly, and then sat on the seat in a very comfortable posture, watching the ongoing battle on the field, and also seeing the appearance of the man-eating whale fighting bloody, and said with emotion——

"I know, it was indeed my fault in the past. But President Airl, I only followed orders. You should know whose orders I am following."

In this regard, Airl shook his head: "Of course I know whose order you are serving. But I'm afraid, Mr. Sugar Coated Wine may not know it himself?"

This sentence made Tang Yijiu a little surprised. He was slightly taken aback, and said, "Me? President Arrow, you are just joking. No matter how bad I am, I at least know who I am working for."
