Gold is Justice

Regarding this, Ariel could only smile, hugging her young lady and softly comforting her.It took a long time to finally coax the eldest lady to be happy, help her finish her makeup, change into a set of beautiful clothes, and serve the two princes and concubines to the restaurant for dinner.

After dealing with these matters, Ariel rushed out of the castle just before the gate of the imperial city finally closed.When she saw the door slowly closing behind her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... this is really exhausting me."

Stretching, Ariel couldn't help but smile as she looked at the still brightly lit street in front of her.

After a little identification of the location, she immediately started to walk towards the garden villa.

No need to go far, the vice president of the guild immediately appeared beside Ariel as if growing out of the soil, and then jumped onto her shoulders.

"Oh! Huh... Napa, you startled me!"

The little white cat didn't seem to care about scaring the girl at all. She lay on Ariel's shoulder and said slowly, "It's really thanks to you that I was able to walk out of that castle safely. I thought you He will be caught and chopped up immediately."

Ariel chuckled, stretched out her hand and tapped the little white cat's nose lightly.Unlike before, the little white cat didn't run away, but let Ariel touch its nose.

Regarding this, Ariel smiled slightly, put her hands behind her back, padded her steps, and said with a smile, "Why don't you dodge? Normally, you wouldn't let us touch you so casually."

Napa snorted, just raised her paw and rubbed her nose slightly, and said, "It's so familiar, do you need me to tell you?"

Seeing that Napa was so relaxed now, Ariel felt happy, and simply hugged her from her shoulders, hugged and rubbed her, and continued to walk forward.Sure enough, as the little white cat said, it didn't struggle anymore, but was rubbed obediently.

"Thank you for today."

While walking, Ariel said something softly.

Napa snorted and said, "Thank me for what?"

Ariel grinned: "Thank you for saving me. I know you don't want to claim credit, but you should have done that, right? You replaced the poison that the second prince should have given me with the detoxification of toxins in my body." agent."

The little white cat suddenly raised its head: "Antidote? What antidote? Also, what does poison mean? Which human being without eyes dares to poison you?!"

Now, it was Ariel's turn to be a little surprised. She raised the little white cat in front of her and said, "Isn't it you?... What were you doing around twelve o'clock in the noon?"

The little white cat snorted and said, "Me? I was chatting with those flower fairies. I asked them if they would accept you as the new Mother of the Earth, and they all said they had no objection. You see, we have a A strong ally."

Ariel was stunned for a moment, then continued: "So... you didn't change the antidote for me?!... Ah, could it be Rose? My God... I didn't even know that the flower fairy has such a strong learning ability. I didn’t even say anything, and they were able to guess from the clues that something happened to me, so they helped change the bottle of poison?"

The little white cat still didn't quite understand: "So, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? By the way, did you say that human being poisoned you?! I Go help you get the antidote back! It shouldn’t matter now, right? Can I show my strength?! I’m going to beat him up and force him to give the antidote!”

As she spoke, Napa struggled to get out of Ariel's embrace.Fortunately, Ariel quickly reached out to hug it, and continued to try to comfort it, which made the little white cat calm down.

"Hee hee~~~"

"why are you laughing?"

"No, I'm happy."

"So, what are you happy about?"

"I'm glad you're so worried about me. Hey, we should be good friends who talk about everything now, right?"

"so what?"

"Since we are good friends... all my secrets have been revealed in front of you now, so, can you tell me what is the secret behind you?"

"...If you are willing to be the mother of the earth, I will tell you."

"I don't want to have anything weird."

"Why do you think that I will force you to give birth when you talk about the mother of the earth?"

"Then you just say let me be the goddess of the earth. Maybe it feels good to be a goddess? At least it's better than being a baron."

"Baron? Are you a baron?"

"Haha, didn't you expect that? I'm a serious nobleman now! Hehe, a nobleman who is dedicated to serving higher-ranking nobles."

"Ariel, what are your plans for the future?"

"Huh...Of course I have a lot of plans."

"First of all?"

"First... let's meet our members first. Huh? Why is it so noisy?"

Chapter 41 Three years of unfavorable start

Chatting and talking all the way, before she knew it, Ariel had returned to her garden villa with Napa in her arms.

But from a long distance, you can hear the noisy shouting from inside.Looking from a distance, you can even see some magical power flickering in it.

At that moment, Ariel immediately put away the smile on her face and rushed over in a hurry.

As soon as the door was opened, all the members of Mermaid Song were forced to a corner under the flying of those flower fairies.

Opposite them stood two rows of magicians, priests, and paladins in uniform.Roughly, there were as many as 20 people.

Cream held up his natural short blade with countless gaps, gritted his teeth and yelled loudly.But after yesterday's fierce battle, he was still injured and still barely healed even standing up.After being kicked by a magician, he lay down clutching his stomach.

In addition, Brad was lying on the ground with his hands on his chest, his face was pale, and he was panting heavily.Buffy kept dancing beside her, screaming nervously.

Margaux had also been knocked down to the ground now, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, looking angrily at the two paladins surrounding her.

Coco and Cheese looked haggard. Facing the pastors in front of them, they seemed to have no strength to raise their hands.

Now, only Suta, who is in relatively good health, is still standing in front of everyone, holding Brad's long sword in his hand.Ah... By the way, her knight tower shield was destroyed by the female spy of the Hunter Empire.

"What's the matter, please wait for our president to come back and talk about it!... Ah, president!"

Suta turned his head and stared at Ariel with eyes covered by bangs.

At this moment, other guild members also saw the returning president.But obviously, except for the cheese and the puff pastry, the eyes of everyone else looked complicated.

Now Ariel doesn't have the time to explain anything to her members. She turned her head, glanced at the devil dragon car parked in the corner of the front yard, then took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "What's going on here? What are you talking about!"

One of those magicians Ariel knew, a fire magician named Eddie Invincible.

And at this time, the flame mage seems to be the leader of the magician's team.He glanced at the maid who broke in suddenly, and seemed to have not figured out the situation for a while, so he said casually: "Irrelevant people wait out! The Magic Association is doing business, if you don't want to cause trouble, get out!"

Hearing these words, Ariel stepped forward even more, came to stand in front of the flame mage generously, fixed her eyes on him, and said coldly——

"This is my guild. If you want me to say, your magic association should get out of here. Mr. Eddie Invincible."

Obviously, Eddie was a little confused for a while.

He even got a little bored with this girl who suddenly rushed in front of him.

But just when he raised his hand and wanted to throw it out casually, he immediately saw the girl's eyes!

Seeing this look... this look that he is very familiar with.

"Brother Invincible, what's wrong?"

At this time, a speaker from the paladin's side also saw the situation here and asked a question.

But Eddie thought of something in an instant, and even instinctively jumped two steps back, stretched out his hand, pointed at the girl dressed as a maid in front of him with a little panic, and said nervously——

"You... you! Are you... are you... are you...!!!"

Ariel snorted, and said slowly: "It's me, the president of Mermaid Song—Aero Garcia! But with my current attire, you can call me Ariel Garcia. And I Another identity is the dowry of the Duke of Jinguo, Miss Alice Jinguo. Is my identity clear enough?"

Miss Jin Guo's beauty is well-known throughout Hanhai City, and the parade this morning made the people of the whole city see clearly, and they were all envious and full of admiration.

Eddie rolled his eyes slightly, and immediately understood the identity of the woman in front of him, and blurted out: "You...you are the mistress of His Royal Highness now?!"

At that moment, Ariel felt her scalp go numb.But this identity is indeed very useful, so she nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Eddie Invincible, you suddenly brought so many people to the Mermaid Song controlled by His Highness the Second Prince. What do you mean by attacking the subordinates of His Highness the Second Prince at will? Could it be... do you want to rebel?!"

This hat was really too harsh, Eddie couldn't help swallowing, and took another step back.

But the paladin came forward at this moment, with a sneer of contempt, looked Ariel up and down, put away the knight sword in his hand, and bowed to Ariel as a knight.

"Then may I ask, honorable... huh?"

Ariel continued to put her hands on her chest, with a serious face, and said slowly: "Garcia, baroness."

The paladin smiled again and said: "Honorable Baroness Garcia, I am really sorry for disturbing your nature. I belong to the Holy See of Light, named George Peanutun, and I am an unworthy paladin We really don't know that the song of the mermaid is now the property of the royal family, and it is really offending."

Ariel snorted, still keeping the indifference on her face, and said slowly: "I know, why don't you back down?!"

George nodded, stood up, and let his paladins and priests retreat to the two sides.On the other side, Eddie asked the magicians he brought to step aside when he saw this.

Afterwards, George stepped forward, saluted slightly again, and said with a smile: "Then, Your Excellency Baroness Garcia, please allow me to explain. We, the Holy See and the Association, are not here to trouble Song of the Mermaid. In fact, we're still here to help Mermaid Song."

"According to the order of Priest Priest, in the next three years, a total of ten members of the Holy See will join Song of the Mermaid to help Song of the Mermaid in its next work. I believe Eddie over there ·The association of invincible mages should have the same idea.”

Ariel snorted and said——

"So? Join me in Song of the Mermaid, and you guys started to fight instead?"

George laughed again, and went on—

"No, no, this is a complete misunderstanding. Although we do have the responsibility to join the Song of the Mermaid, on the other hand, we are also here to collect some things at a small request from the Duke of Jinguo."

Ariel froze for a moment: "What?"

George smiled slightly and said, "A thousand gold coins."

Ariel was startled.

George continued: "Duke Jinguo specifically ordered that three years ago, he lent 950 gold coins to Mermaid Song as the start-up capital. It was agreed that he would earn [-] gold coins for repayment after three years. Now the three-year period has expired." Yes, that’s why we specially asked us to come here to recover this loan. Of course, Duke Jin Guo also said that there are indeed not as many as [-] gold coins in Song of the Mermaid, so you can accept the discount, and you only need to return [-] gold coins. The silver and the goods are settled."

Now, the members of Song of the Mermaid finally faced Ariel with a surprised attitude again, and now Ariel also felt a cold feeling coming up from the soles of her feet, straight to her forehead!

However, no matter how terrified he was in his heart, his face could not change in the slightest.

At the moment, Ariel still said calmly: "A thousand gold coins? You made a mistake, our Song of the Mermaid is now under the Second Prince, if you really want money, let the Duke go and ask the Second Prince for money. "

But as if he had guessed this point long ago, the paladin smiled sullenly again and said, "Hehe, the order we got is that the Duke of Jin Guo has informed the second prince. And the second prince also It is agreed to use the funds from Song of the Mermaid to pay off the debt. Here is the letter from His Royal Highness the Second Prince, may I ask Your Excellency the Baroness Garcia, is there any question now?"

problem?

Now this situation can be said to be no problem?

However, Ariel can only force a smile on her face now, and said slowly: "I see. Since His Highness the Second Prince asked me to pay, of course I will have no problem. But still Please allow me to calculate the funds with you after I finish preparing the gift for the wedding of my eldest lady and His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

Eddie on the side nodded, but the paladin named George didn't seem to think so.He continued to smile and nodded, and said slowly: "Oh~~~Miss Garcia, I'm afraid this is not very good, right? The Duke asked us to collect the reward immediately, but he didn't say that it can be postponed? So, please It would be better to pay off the money as soon as possible. In this way, we can also report to the Duke. By the way, we can also set off for Pelican Town as soon as possible to carry out the next three years of operations."

In this regard, Ariel continued to smile and said: "George Peanutton Knight, I have already said that I will prepare for the wedding, why are you still so stubborn? The Duke just asked you to collect the bill, but did not ask you to give Time? Are you forcing His Majesty Chao Chao into nothing by persecuting him so blindly?"

Although Ariel said these words with a smile on her face now, her tone didn't look like she wanted to compromise on this at all.
