Gold is Justice

Ariel shook her head slightly, and said: "No problem. Since you decided to talk about it tomorrow, then you should arrange for them to eat first. You are the mayor and I am a citizen. If you arrange for them to eat, you should also need manpower? We mermaids Song can help distribute the food. So, where is the food now?"

"food?"

It seems that the mayor has never thought about this matter, his eyes are wide open, his face is confused——

"Food... Food...President Ariel, are you trying to embarrass me on purpose? It's so late now, I can't open the granary openly to distribute food to so many people!"

Ariel's expression didn't change at all: "That's why you have no way to distribute food. So can you distribute it tomorrow? For more than 400 people's food, this is not a small amount of money. Can you arrange it now?"

No matter how dull he was, Round Cheese finally understood what the guild leader meant.He couldn't help gritting his teeth, the anger in his heart rushed up, straightened his waist, and said to Ariel: "I said President Ariel, you are a bit too much, right?! I said that I will deal with it." These things, but it’s so late now, how far do you want to drive me? They are all robbers! And it’s not one or two people, but more than 400 people! How can I get so much food in one go? Get out?!"

Seeing the aura of round cheese coming up, the following cheese immediately took two steps to protect the safety of his president.

But Ariel raised her hand, telling the shooter not to worry.She raised her head, looked at the mayor who was already in a hurry, and said again——

"I'm not forcing you, nor making things difficult for you on purpose. I'm just telling you the choices that are in front of you now."

"Did you think that after you forcibly assumed the duties of the mayor just now, everything was over? No. Since you chose to continue to serve as the mayor, there is no doubt that you need to carry out these things in front of you now deal with."

"You need to consider the lives of these robbers, whether to execute them or let them go. If you can't make a decision in a short time, that is a choice in itself. And this kind of choice needs to be filled with funds and a lot of money. Food to let these robbers give you enough time to think."

"Don't you really think that as long as you continue to bear the title of mayor and do nothing, these problems will be solved when you wake up tomorrow morning? No, I can tell you clearly that it will not .”

"Also, those robbers have been hungry for a day and a night, and they now know that their situation is not optimistic. If they don't make a decision immediately tonight, they will definitely riot."

"So, the power of time and choice is all on your side. What exactly do you want to do? Say something."

The chairman's words were very calm.

It is even so calm that it doesn't seem like something that a human being can say.

In fact, it is very simple now, even Mochi, who is not very familiar with human language, can understand that this human woman is forcing that human fat man to make certain decisions.

However, the fat human clearly knew that this was a kind of persecution, but his eyes were wide open, completely unable to make any decision.

"Ariel...President Ariel...if it's food..."

After a long time, he was forced to say two words——

"If it's food... I remember Song of the Mermaid seems to have bought a lot of food, right? Can you... distribute it to them?"

"Yes, if the mayor has this request, as a member of Pelican City, of course I am bound to do so."

Contrary to Round Cheese's expectations, Ariel agreed very readily!

At that moment, the mayor immediately beamed with joy: "Then it's not too late! We immediately..."

"I can distribute food. It's just that Mr. Mayor, how much do you plan to pay for it?"

Ariel was not ambiguous at all, and the expression on her face always maintained that indifferent and calm color.After the round cheese was stunned by this sentence, she continued——

"I bought these grains, and I have been keeping them for a while, dehumidifying, drying, and deworming. It also cost me a lot of maintenance costs. Therefore, it is impossible for me to sell them to you at the purchase price. I need to add a little more."

"In addition, since Pelican City is asking me to buy it now, I naturally need to add a little bit. I won't go too far, as long as I make my accounts look better. To be fair, Mr. Mayor, you give Let's make a price. If the price is right, I won't bargain."

Just now, he showed a menacing round cheese, but now he has become sluggish in an instant.He raised his hands, looking completely stunned: "Want... want money? Isn't... isn't it for helping?"

Ariel turned her back and stopped looking at the mayor: "I've already done a lot of favors for Pelican City, so that's fine, but with such a large amount of money, do you really plan to let me pay for nothing? "

At that moment, the whole air became stagnant.

Round Cheese's body was trembling slightly, and his legs were trembling constantly.

He raised his head, his face was almost full of crying, as if he wanted to beg the girl in front of him.But the girl didn't give him the right to beg, and always turned her back to him, not looking at his weeping face.

"President Ariel...President Ariel...!"

"Hey, hey, didn't you just say that you would never make mistakes again?"

Cheese couldn't stand it anymore, and when Round Cheese was about to pounce on Ariel, he reached out and stopped him——

"Don't you have any money? I think your mayor's mansion is not bad. You bought a house for money. Are you the mayor of Pelican City or our president is the mayor? Everything is up to our president to help you." You did it, you just need to have a name? Don’t talk about such a mayor, I can do it with a dog!"

Being so excited by Cheese, Round Cheese turned his head and glared at him, then gritted his teeth, as if sending a slap in the face, and said, "Okay...Okay! I've decided! Those are robbers... Since they are all robbers! And they killed so many of us, they should pay the price! President Ariel, I have decided to kill them all! No one will be left behind! Even if it is reported to the lord, There will be no problem with my handling like this!"

Hearing that the mayor behind finally made a decision, Ariel finally nodded slightly and turned around.He looked at the mayor who had a decisive face and gritted his teeth, and said seriously——

"Yes, since the mayor made this decision, then I have no objection. So now, how do we execute so many robbers inside?"

Once again, Round Cheese showed that shocked face: "Ah? How to execute? Then... Of course... Hanging... No, no, no, just behead! Behead faster!"

Ariel nodded, and still said in that tone without any emotion: "Yes. Is there an executioner in our city? If we recruit now, there should be time."

"Execution... the executioner?"

Round Cheese's fingers twitched—

"Why...why do you want the executioner?"

Ariel shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently: "Of course an executioner is needed. However, if Mr. Mayor decides to do it himself, that's fine. Have you ever used a knife? It doesn't matter if you haven't, anyway, it's in your hand Here, it’s enough to stab someone’s chest.”

With that said, Ariel glanced at the warehouse over there——

"Then stop talking nonsense, Cream!"

Cream, who was helping over there, ran over immediately after hearing the cry.

Ariel: "Give your dagger to our Mr. Mayor, he will personally deal with those 400 robbers."

Cream was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood what Ariel was thinking, and then pulled out a dagger from his waist, and handed it to Round Cheese respectfully.

"No, no, no, no! I...I have never killed anyone! I will not kill anyone! And...and there are more than 400 people! Even if there are more than 400 chickens, they will resist. How can I do it? ?! President Ariel, you are joking!"

"A joke? I'm not kidding."

Now, the chairman still showed a very serious expression——

"You don't dare to do it? Then you have to hire an executioner. Of course, the executioner also needs money, and then there is the cost of maintaining order. Someone needs to tie up so many robbers inside one by one. Of course, it is impossible to tie their ropes." It is an ordinary rope, it must be that kind of thick hemp rope. If it is hemp, I have enough in my textile factory. I can give you one or two. But if it is more than 400 pieces of thick hemp rope, Mr. Mayor, Let's talk about the price again."

"President Ariel! President Ariel Garcia!!!"

Round Cheese couldn't help roaring out, his hands and feet were trembling, and his whole body was even more excited as if he was about to cramp!After roaring twice, he looked at Ariel in front of him almost in despair, and said in a painful and pleading voice——

"Then...then can you...Can Song of the Mermaid...help...do it? I know! I know you are professionals! Can the price be cheaper if you kill robbers? I know some other The adventurer guild in the area, no matter how expensive the commission for repelling the bandits, it won’t be so expensive, right?”

Regarding Round Cheese's current request, Ariel exhaled slowly and said, "Mr. Mayor, what do you think of me? What do you think of Song of the Mermaid?"

Round Cheese: "Ah...ah?"

Ariel: "Song of the Mermaid is not a mercenary, we will not kill casually. What you entrusted now is not the job of repelling robbers, but the job of an outright executioner. We Song of the Mermaid will not accept this kind of job." Work. If you want to kill them, please do it yourself or ask others to do it, and don't involve us in Song of the Mermaid."

Rejected by Ariel again, Round Cheese seemed stunned.

He gritted his teeth, as if in a final struggle.After a long time, he finally nodded, and said in a crying voice: "President Ariel... I know... you are deliberately embarrassing me..."

Ariel put her hands behind her back, not looking at him.

"But...but too many things have happened in the past two days...my head can't turn around at once...I need to have a meeting...I need to have a meeting with everyone...and discuss it together ...that's...that's how..." Mochi leaned over and looked at the fat human.After thinking for a while, she walked over to Ariel again, raised her head, looked at the face that didn't show any smile, and after thinking about it, she turned to the round cheese and said, "Mayor , It’s so difficult. There are so many decisions, you can’t make them.”

"No! I can make a decision! I can... definitely!"

Seeing that such a small blood clan is now starting to question his status as mayor, Round Cheese is a little hysterical.

He shook his head, but after all, he spread his legs, rushed to Ariel regardless of the cheese next to him, and said almost as if asking for help——

"President Ariel...President Ariel! I know I was wrong... I really... I really know I was wrong! Please let me go... Please give me another chance, okay? I Really... Really really know I was wrong! I will never run away again! I will never care about the lives of civilians again! Woo... I... Woo... I will be fine! In the future, you say I will listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I will go east. If you tell me to go west, I will never turn back! So... President Ariel, President Ariel! I beg you... I beg you Can you spare me this time? As long as you spare me, then you can ask me to do anything!"

"Anything is okay?"

Ariel stopped Cheese who wanted to help, looked at the round cheese in front of him coldly, and asked slowly.

"Of course! Of course! Anything is fine! As long as you can keep my position as mayor! As long as... as long as I can still be mayor! I can promise you anything!"

Seeing Cheese making such a humble request, the smile on Ariel's face still did not emerge.On the contrary, she stretched out her hand very simply, pointed to the ruins burned by the flames over there, and said, "I want Ni to allocate funds to rebuild this urban area. Is there any problem with that? Besides, this is what you, the mayor, should be." responsibility."

"No problem! No problem at all! It's my job, of course it's my job!"

Perhaps, this round cheese was really dizzy. After hearing such a request, he immediately agreed without any thought.

Regarding this, Ariel immediately said: "Very good. The reconstruction cost is about 4000 gold coins. I just calculated it with you when I was in your office. Does Pelican City still have these funds? Come on, I will ask for one." Within a month, at least these ruins will be cleaned up, and a basic reconstruction scale can be built. Within three months, I want everything here to return to its original state."

"Ah... ah?"

Obviously, Round Cheese's expression once again told Ariel that he hadn't thought about this issue at all.

Ariel was also unambiguous, and said bluntly: "Pelican City is now a rapidly developing city. According to my calculations, with the current population, by the end of this year, there should be about [-] people in our city. Population. These populations will be transformed into the driving force and fuel for the continued development of Pelican City.”

"However, if these people who came to settle in Pelican City saw such a ruin at the first sight, how would they feel? Then, when they knew that Pelican City was attacked by a bandit group , and then if the loss is heavy, how will you feel?"

"This ruin, at present, is the biggest obstacle to the development of Pelican City. And my factory needs to expand, and I need population. But this ruin obviously hinders the inflow of population, so I want to see it in the shortest possible time. To this ruins disappear."

"Three months later, if you can't do what you did last night, then, the mayor of Pelican City, you can still continue to do it."

Round Cheese froze for a moment, looking a little unprepared.

"It's just that I will lead Mermaid Song and all my factories to move out of this city that has no development prospects. I think that the nearby Kingfisher Town or Honglu Town will welcome me very much." Let’s relocate the entire industry there.”

Chapter 220 Peaceful handover

Why did Pelican City become Pelican City?

Because the former Pelican City was able to develop and grow.

Why was the former Pelican City able to grow and develop?

Because in this small city, a completely innovative textile industry and elemental car manufacturing industry have emerged.Because of these productions, the grain output of Pelican City has increased, and the arable area has increased, which is enough to feed more people and obtain more economy.

At the same time, Pelican City also has special products that other regions have never had, and I am afraid that other regions will not have them in a short time, that is, the products of flower fairies and blood clans.

So, how did these textile industries, elemental cars, flower fairies and blood races come to Pelican City?

Brought by the Song of the Mermaid.

So who created and directed The Song of the Mermaid?

Of course it is the president of Mermaid Song, Ariel Garcia.

Therefore, even without thinking too much about the connection, Round Cheese can quickly understand what it means if Song of the Mermaid decides to completely relocate with all the industries.

Will Pelican City become exactly what Pelican Town used to be?

is it possible?After several years of development, after the residents of the entire Pelican City have enjoyed the benefits brought about by the development, let all of them return to the previous way of closing their families at home once the winter comes, and prepare enough The food has been struggling for several months. Is there anyone who wants to live in such a life?

Therefore, when Ariel expressed such a decision, Round Cheese finally had no way to perfunctory.
