Gold is Justice

In the guild, he and Cream were actually not very familiar.In Dak's perception, this assassin is completely loyal to the president.And it's not loyal in the general sense, it's the kind of loyalty... a little scary, if the president asks him to commit suicide in the next second, he probably won't even twitch his eyebrows and immediately pick up the dagger and wipe his neck.

If it can be seen that this assassin is interested in the president of his family, then that's fine. This belongs to the wanderer's intentions and the goddess's unintentional. Dak can also understand his madness.But after more than half a year of getting along, no matter how you look at it, Cream doesn't look like he is madly in love with the president.

This kind of devotion and loyalty that almost completely disregarded self made Dak a little uncomfortable.Among the male members, he prefers cheese.Although he will also be loyal to the guild, his behavior can still be seen as "rational", and because of the blood clan incident, Dak can also understand Cheese's tough mouth, but his behavior is still very loyal.

No matter how bad it is, Brad, or someone like Tesla.A fool, as long as you treat him well, he will treat you well.One, as long as you give enough funds, you can do whatever research you want, but it will definitely produce results.

But for Cream, if it wasn't necessary, Dak felt that there was some estrangement between him and him.

"..."

"Actually, you don't have to force yourself to talk to me. It will look deliberate."

Cream exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his head and said to Duck with a smile.

Being directly pointed out by him, Dak's face flushed, and he lowered his head involuntarily.

Cream continued: "And you don't have to care about human affairs in our guild, thinking that we will squeeze you out. When we have nothing to do, we have plenty of time to chat with you. We all belong to the kind of people who don't want to see someone lonely."

Hearing Cream's consolation, Duck suddenly felt that he was being deliberate.He took a deep breath, raised his head, and said, "So, what did you think of?"

Cream patted himself on the head, breathed out the smoke through his nose, stretched himself again, and said, "The president asked me to manage these prisoners, firstly to calm their emotions and prevent them from rioting. To be able to hold out until the Judgment Day.”

"On the other hand, the president also hopes that I can find out who is behind them after calming down their emotions."

Dak thought for a while, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, you've done a pretty good job. You've completed these two tasks in one day. You've written down the name of the person behind the scenes. ?"

"Remember it..."

"Then why are you so frowning?"

"It's because I wrote it down that I frown."

Cream took another long drag on the cigarette, and soon the flames were on the verge of burning his lips.He spat out the cigarette residue in his mouth, stamped it out with his foot, and said: "I can basically understand what the president means by asking me to find these so-called black hands behind the scenes. But now our enemy is not a single person. They are the lords of other cities, the mayors, the mayors, and the village chiefs. They are all prominent figures except the border provinces. If there are any detailed enemies, there may not be any enemies. After all , we Song of the Mermaid can't be against all the lords and mayors around at the same time, isn't it?"

Duck listened silently, looking at Cream's very helpless expression.

After a long time, he responded, "So...do we have no enemies?"

"No, on the contrary, there are many more."

Cream took a deep breath, shook his head, and said slowly——

"Although those instigators behind the scenes should not be our enemies, nor can they be our enemies. But if there are any..."

"Then those lords, town chiefs, village chiefs... whoever passed this reform of the element machine, then obtained benefits from it through commercial activities, and harmed the interests of ordinary people while obtaining these benefits, can be regarded as Pelican City... is even the enemy of Mermaid Song."

At that moment, even Dak finally understood what was going on, and his complexion also turned sour.

Cream rubbed his shoulders and said, "That's why I feel scared."

"Before this, I thought our enemy was just a guy who wanted to frame us. This guy could be a noble or a lord. To be honest, even if the final answer is a guy with As a military leader with a heavy army, although I will be surprised, worried, and nervous, I will not be afraid."

"But now, the answer I get is not such a very specific goal."

"It's all the nobles...all the people who want to extract money from the common people as long as they have the ability. Some of them are not even nobles themselves, but just vassals of the nobles."

"Even, these so-called behind-the-scenes gangsters didn't agree to frame us in advance. They almost coincidentally and almost instinctively passed all these problems on to us when the prisoners asked for an explanation. And when these robbers started to come all the way, more lords who heard about it also took advantage of the trend to attribute the problem to us."

"In other words, we don't have an exact enemy at all. If the president wants to use this trial to find the black hand behind the scenes and then attack him, then it is obvious that the president's idea has gone bankrupt."

"Because...we can't fight against everyone. We can't fight against the world...I even started to be afraid, afraid that if our president really knows the instigator behind these guys, she will go crazy against Everyone going to war?"

Speaking of this, Cream's voice had completely revealed a trembling that was almost desperate.He clutched his head, as if he was overwhelmed by pain, and as if he couldn't see any light to guide him in the dark wilderness.

Seeing Cream like this, Dak thought for a while, and tentatively wanted to reach out to put his arm around his shoulder, but he just raised his arm a little bit, but because of shyness, he finally put it down.

"Then... I think that what you imagined is really...too powerful. Although those nobles are nobles, in other words, our president is also a noble, and we will even be the mayor soon ah."

"If it is true as you said, those prisoners thought of attacking us because of various coincidences, then there should be no need to be too nervous. Talk to those lords, I believe the president can let them Stop doing this."

Chapter 220 Do you want to be the mayor?I support

"Of course, if you are really ignorant of current affairs and insist on blaming everything on us..."

Dak raised his arm, narrowed his eyes, and smiled: "We Mermaid Song are not easy to bully. At that time, isn't it time for us fighters to step forward?"

Cream turned his head and looked at Dak's smiling face.

Seriously, he's really good looking.That almost perfect face combined with the tear mole on the upper corner of his eye, coupled with the backdrop of the setting sun at the moment, made his smile look like a painting, giving people a very relaxed feeling.

Seeing Duck smiling so much now, Cream suddenly felt that he seemed to be thinking too much.He patted himself on the head again, shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, "Okay... maybe I really thought too much. Think about it carefully, too, our president belongs to the kind of spirit, how could she Do you want to go to war with so many lords at the same time? Believe that you will still have to negotiate in the end... Let's go! Move the dinner! It's late, I think the prisoners will not go crazy, our Brad will ask Crazy."

Seeing that Cream's emotions had recovered, Dak breathed a sigh of relief.At this moment, he felt that the distance between himself and this assassin might be a little closer, right?With this thought in mind, he approached Cream, and the two walked to the kitchen together to carry the dinner.

However, when Song of the Mermaid is so busy now, busy for the whole Pelican City, some people are gradually becoming restless.

"Then, hey, I'll go first, hey hey."

Round Cheese groveled and left the tavern happily.

As the door closed, the expressions on the faces of George Peanutton and Eddie Invincible in the room immediately became exciting.

"I really didn't expect that woman, after all, she still took something she shouldn't ask for."

George picked up a grape on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it with his teeth, the sweet juice burst in his mouth.

Eddie folded his hands behind his back, frowning.He came to the door, tried to make sure that the door was indeed completely closed, and then slowly stomped back to the table and sat down.George continued to eat grapes, and said: "But yes, this round cheese is really useless. Even I don't believe that this guy can become a qualified mayor of this city. It's just that I didn't expect him to be so easy. We lost the battle, and the two of us tried our best to protect him yesterday."

Eddie poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "This guy is a baker at heart. But I didn't expect that Ariel would be able to offer 500 gold to let him step aside. He can now He ran over and only called out to us, he already has our association and your Holy See in his eyes."

George stretched out his hands to cover the back of his head, and said with a relaxed smile, "Ha! A woman is the mayor? A woman is the mayor's mistress. I can't imagine a woman yelling on top of my head. Not even my mother has the qualifications."

Eddie frowned, thinking hard while drinking water.

Seeing the distress on his face, George next to him couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I said, why are you so nervous? Why, are you really worried that she will be the mayor?"

Eddie froze for a moment, raised his head to look at George, and asked, "What? You don't think she's good enough?"

George gave Eddie a white look, and said confidently: "Ha! How could she be the one? Yes, she does have a lot of influence in Pelican City, and she seems to have a lot of money. But, Just because she is a woman, it is absolutely impossible to become the mayor!"

The paladin adjusted his posture to make himself sit more comfortably, and continued: "Isn't this matter not officially announced yet, and it seems that she is busy with a lot of things now, and she wants to be officially announced as an official." The mayor should be a long time away. We are like this, before that, we can secretly spread a lot of rumors about the doom, failure, and plague of the city when a woman becomes mayor! These rumors once spread Come on, let me see how she can still be the mayor!"

While the paladin was cheerfully making suggestions, Eddie was still frowning and thinking hard.

"On the other hand... After these rumors spread for a while, she should also know that she does not have the ability to continue to be the mayor, so she will naturally give up and return to his little guild obediently. Of course, if If he still persists and refuses to give up, I have a way."

George popped a grape into his mouth, bit it, tasted the sweet juice, and continued: "Isn't it going to be officially announced at that time? We must definitely participate in such a big event. At that time, we will directly In the name of the Holy See and your association, openly reprimand her for wanting to become the mayor of such a woman? We will severely reprimand her, and then move out our holy dogma of the Holy See to suppress her! I want to see, when she Can the mayor's position still be secure?"

Facing George's series of ideas, Eddie still kept silent and didn't make audio or video.

After finishing speaking, George put his feet on the table, tasted the grapes very leisurely, and was full of praise at the same time.

But after a long time, he found it strange that the magicians of this association hadn't spoken out to echo him.

"What's wrong with you? You don't really think she can be the mayor smoothly, do you?"

Eddie was still thinking. After hearing George's casual question, the flame mage breathed out silently and said, "Knight of Peanutton, maybe it doesn't matter in other places. But here, in Pelican City... …How much do you think we can do by continuing to play the 'she's a woman, so she's doomed' card?"

George was taken aback for a moment, and the grapes that were just about to be put in his mouth also stopped now.He thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "That...isn't it supposed to work? It's even stipulated in the law that a woman belongs to a man's property...that woman even herself How could she succeed if it didn't belong to herself?"

"But the fact is that she has been successful for three years, and if there are no accidents this year, she may continue to be successful."

At this moment, Eddie said this sentence himself, which made George feel a little surprised.

"We have been saying that this woman cannot succeed, she is destined to fail. Everything she does will come to nothing in the end. Even if there is a little improvement in front of her eyes, she will definitely fail in the end."

Eddie breathed a sigh of relief and continued—

"However, in the process of us constantly expecting her own failure, this woman pulled up a guild, recruited a group of members who seemed weak at first glance, and even used some seemingly weak members The member won the last guild championship match."

"She won the support of the flower goblin, and because of the flower goblin, Pelican Town got a lot of money. And now, she also got the support of those vampires. I don't know how she did it. Some time ago there was Some vampires openly refused to accept her, but now those monsters are listening to her like a dog." "Not to mention the citizens of this Pelican City. These were originally just huddled in such a remote border town , Don't know anything, don't know anything, just a country bumpkin who is slowly rotting day by day, but after this woman came, he gradually started to get rich."

"Her arrival has turned Pelican City from a poor, barren town into the economic center of almost the entire border province now! I believe that if it wasn't for the fact that the population of the round cheese was not relocated fast enough, By the end of the year, the population of Pelican City should directly surpass that of Lagoon City."

"Even, I saw with my own eyes that she went to meet the two most powerful guilds in Lagoon City two days ago, the Giant Mountain Guild and the Soul Flame Guild. Judging from their conversations, this woman and these two The relationship between the presidents of the guild seems to be quite good."

"So...Knight Peanutton, do you really have any trump cards? Do you think she can't be the mayor? Or are you just taking it for granted here, and then thinking that this woman's status in Pelican City should be compared with other people? The place is exactly the same?"

George was slightly surprised by Eddie's sarcasm.But after thinking about it for a while, the paladin put down the grape in his hand, slapped himself on the forehead, and his face became serious: "This woman...is really a big trouble."

Eddie exhaled slowly, and said: "Although on the surface, we are still trying our best to maintain a weak image of a woman who should obediently stand behind a man and accept protection. But in fact, this woman has already broken through us with her actions. After she is officially announced as the mayor of Pelican City, it is only equivalent to breaking through the last piece of paper. I believe that there will not be many people in this city just because she is a woman. Oppose her to be mayor. So, the kind of whispering you want and then making trouble on mayoral announcement day is likely to backfire."

George's brows were also frowned. He patted his head, thought for a while and said, "According to what you say, what else can we do? Let her be the mayor obediently, and then yell at us? Simply... let's just do her!"

Regarding this thought, Eddie still showed a frowning look: "Being her? Maybe it was okay before, but at this moment now? Is it you or I? "

George raised his eyebrows: "What? No matter how many members there are in Song of the Mermaid, no matter how strong that Dak Guang Zhongguang is, there are times when they are impossible to guard against, right? We can... oh! I understand, it's us Don't die..."

Seeing that George reacted quickly, Eddie continued to exhale, shook his head helplessly, and said, "During the day, those members of Mermaid Song almost protect their president. That woman will always be accompanied by experts .At night, those nasty vampires run around the town, making for some kind of 'dead of night' time. We don't have a good chance of being her, day or night. What's more... we also have reasons why we can't be her."

Speaking of this, even George felt a little uneasy. He patted his forehead and said, "Oh... can you not mention that? My head hurts when I mention that..."

Eddie snorted, and gave George a blank look: "How could you not mention it? Now the mermaid song contains the hard-earned money of our association and your members of the Holy See, my wife! Kill that woman, and all our money will be drained." It’s floating, do you think that even if the high priest above you and the elder above me are satisfied with us, do those guys below us be satisfied? Will they listen to us two in the future? Or, do you think that in the future the Holy See It is also a very honorable thing to be a bare Templar in it?"

The more he listened, the angrier George became.He raised his hand, knocked hard on the table, and said through gritted teeth: "Bind us deeply with her, this is that woman's strategy! Not only can we not attack her financially, but even her life is safe for us!" You can't attack, otherwise, those bastards under me may turn around to protect that woman! You did this... It's a fucking failure!"

Still holding the water glass in his hand, Eddie took another sip, lost in thought.

After a long time, George saw that the flame mage was still silent, so he became curious and said, "Hey, you can't just sum up these things today, can you? I don't need you to explain these things. I understand, so let's go on What the hell is going to do? Let me tell you in advance, I can't do the awkward gesture of smiling and congratulating that woman at her mayoral ceremony."

Snapped--

Eddie also patted the table, his eyes widened suddenly, pointed at the table and said, "Isn't that right? Isn't this the way to come?"

Startled by Eddie's sudden series of movements, George even shrunk his neck back, and then said with a puzzled look: "What do you mean? You have a way to save us from harm. Under the circumstances, engage her?"

For George's expectant appearance, Eddie couldn't help showing a smile like a warm sun.

He crossed his hands on his chest, and said slowly, "That woman, doesn't she want to be the mayor? Hehehe, then let's just let her be."

The expectant look on George's face immediately dimmed.He waved his hands in displeasure, and said, "Okay, okay, I know you have nothing to do, when the time comes, you can represent me on stage and wag your tail."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you understand after I finish speaking? Are you people in the Holy See so impatient?"

A little bit of dissatisfaction appeared on Eddie's face.Seeing this, George looked as if he wanted to be ironic immediately, but after thinking about it, he held back and put on a look that you say and I listen.

"That woman wants to be the mayor. I think we can't refuse, but instead try to congratulate her on being the mayor of Pelican City."

"It's just...hehe, the position of mayor is not so easy."

Eddie leaned back on the chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said with a contented look——
