Gold is Justice

Ariel frowned, and said, "Since everything is fine...then what are you talking about, there is no way to take care of it?"

Duck pursed his lips, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed and said, "Actually...it's about one of the little prisoners...that...a boy named Jelly, President, do you still remember?" ?”

Ariel shook her head directly, and asked, "What is the boy named Jelly? Have you ever mentioned this person to me?"

Dak nodded slightly, and said: "I mentioned it...but you were really busy at that time, President. When I mentioned this boy, Suta also mentioned some other prisoners, so I may not have a deep impression."

Regarding this, Ariel nodded seriously, and said slowly: "I see, then you should talk to me about it now. What's wrong with this boy?"

Dak nodded again and said: "He...is a prisoner. However, he didn't do anything terrible in the last incident where the robbers attacked Pelican City. He even huddled aside from the beginning to the end, without harm He never smashed anyone, nor smashed any objects. Therefore, although he was also tried as a member of the robber group, the sentence was not heavy, only three months in prison."

Ariel pinched her chin and thought about it, then nodded slightly.

Although it is a bandit group, the members of the bandit group should be treated separately.Those vicious murderers will be sentenced to death, but those who have not lost their conscience and have not committed any serious crimes should indeed be cared for.

Arriving here, Ariel suddenly thought of the boy named Jelly, and quickly raised her hand, widened her eyes and said, "Oh! I remembered! Is it the little boy with the affinity of the element of thunder?"

Seeing that the president of his family finally remembered it, Dak also heaved a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face, and continued: "Yes, you remembered it, President. It is indeed that child."

Ariel smiled, and said, "Although I haven't met that child in person... But from your description, I think he should be a good child. Well, what's wrong with this child?"

Dak, who had a smile on his face just now, now showed a embarrassed expression again.He sighed, and said as he walked: "Although this kid's willpower is not very strong, but I think...he should be a good boy. He works very hard every day, and he will also work very hard in cream. I studied hard in class. However, just yesterday, when I was patrolling, this child suddenly stopped in front of me and said something that I found hard to accept."

Ariel was taken aback, and after thinking about it, she said, "What did he say?"

Darke frowned, with a little anxiety in his eyes, and said slowly: "He said...he hopes to extend his sentence a bit, preferably to ten or eight years."

Ariel was also stunned by this.She pinched her chin and asked curiously: "Why? I only heard that some people want to eat free food, but I didn't expect that some people wanted to sit in prison? Why does he want to stay here all the time? He doesn't want to see his Parents?"

Hearing Ariel's question, Darke couldn't help but sighed, and said, "His parents...are already dead. So, in this world, he no longer has any relatives."

While Ariel was surprised, Duck continued: "This kid doesn't talk much, and I don't think he has much contact with other people. His age is relatively young among those prisoners, almost There are no peers, and no one talks. I think that for this child, there is probably no difference between inside and outside the prison. No, it should be said that outside the prison, he has no food or shelter. But in the prison, he can have food and shelter. If he is sick, we will help them heal... From this point of view, I can understand why he wants to stay here so much .”

The smile on Ariel's face also disappeared. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "Then Duck, come and tell me these things... What do you think?"

Darke turned his head away, looked at Ariel's face with a pair of speculative eyes, and carefully studied the president's eyes, as if he wanted to estimate what the president was thinking.

After a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth and said, "I know that no matter how serious a crime is, we should bear as much responsibility. It is impossible for us to prolong his sentence casually... So, President, can we take it upon him? After being released from prison, give him... a place in Pelican City? Give him a place to live, and then give him a... job?"

After saying these words, Dak hesitated a little, and added one more sentence——

"You see, he is more or less a child with magical affinity, and he must be able to do a lot... a lot of work."

Hearing these words, Ariel more or less knew what this berserker was thinking.She laughed and said, "What do you mean by arranging a job? Are there any jobs in our Pelican City that require people with magical powers to do them? Duck, don't play charades with me, just tell me what you want to do." ?”

Duck's face flushed slightly, he turned his head away quickly, and after thinking for a moment, he turned his head again, looked at Ariel with a pleading look, and said, "He... President, I know that this request may... Maybe a little too much...but...you see...that..."

Snapped--!Ariel stretched out her hand and slapped Dark on the back hard!

Fortunately, Ariel knew that she didn't have much strength, so she wouldn't take pictures of his berserker character, otherwise she wouldn't have the guts to take pictures of this guy casually.

"Okay! Just say it! What do you think!"

Now, Dak was finally convinced, nodded lightly, and said: "I want...to recruit him, join our Mermaid Song, and become one of the guild members of our Mermaid Song. As for the reason...Guild Master, Please give me some time so I can elaborate."

Finally, the shy guy got the words out.Ariel folded her arms, nodded, and listened carefully to what he said.

"One of the reasons is that this child has no relatives in this world at all. He is currently living in a prison in Pelican City. After he is released from prison, there is a high probability that he will stay in Pelican City, and then follow our rules. Recruitment requirements, come into our factory with most people to work."

"But in this way, this child still has no one to rely on, and still can only rely on himself. However, he is not an ordinary child. This child has a thunder and lightning affinity, and he is still in a very sensitive, very fragile, and I just lost my parents in a lonely environment."

"It's not a safe thing for an emotionally unstable and introverted person with elemental affinity to stay in Pelican City without our direct control. So, instead of letting him stay outside If a person lives alone, it is better to place him under the jurisdiction of our Mermaid Song, so that we can monitor him and adjust his spirit."

While listening, Ariel nodded, and after the first point was finished, Ariel nodded again and said, "Well, this reason is fine. But it's not enough. Are there any others?"

Dak: "Of course there is. The second point is the combat ability of our Mermaid Song."

"President, although you are the president of Song of the Mermaid now, after more than half a year of contact, I have figured out a lot about the foundation of our guild. You should also be aware of where our guild is currently lacking, right? "

After a short pause, Duck saw that Ariel didn't talk to him as he thought, so he could only continue talking by himself——

"Our guild currently has the most powerful melee and front row capabilities. We have two shield personnel in the front row, Brad from the Shield Warrior and Suta from the Holy Shield Knight. In terms of melee combat, there are me, Although Cream also has throwing knives and sleeve arrows as attack means, but the distance is still not far enough after all, it can only be regarded as medium."

"In addition, although Cheese is a long-range shooter in name, you should also know that the time for him to hold a gun is far less than the time for him to move his claws directly. And if it is during the day , his combat power is basically equivalent to lacking, and he can only display his full strength at night."

"Buffy is paired with Brad, so it is basically impossible for her to take on the position of long-range attack. We have a priest Margo who has a affinity for the light element. I admit that Margo's affinity for the light element is very strong, but she The affinity of the light element is mainly for healing and defense, and does not produce much offensive effect."

"Although we theoretically still have a long-range archer, Mochi, who is also a member of the blood clan. But this child...she hasn't officially admitted that she is a member of our guild. Apart from paying the fees every day They don’t have much contact with us, and we can’t take this unstable combat power into account.”

"Finally, it's our only magical long-range offensive ability, Necromancer Coco."

"However, Coco also has her limitations. Her undead spells are basically auxiliary, and the undead soldiers and undead knights who are the main attack capabilities are essentially physical damage, and cannot cause magic damage."

"So overall, our Mermaid Song guild still lacks strong and stable long-range magic members. Without a long-range magic member, our opponents can basically easily disarm us as long as they can do a good job in physical defense." Most of the attacks. Only after adding magic attacks can we make our formation more perfect."

After saying this in one breath, Duck couldn't help but took a deep breath, looked at Ariel's expression, and saw that she still didn't respond, then exhaled again, and said: "The above is me as a former The judgment made by the guild leader. So, can we pull him into our guild?"

Seeing that Dak had finished speaking, Ariel stretched her waist, and saw that the gate of her own guild had begun to appear in front of her.She rubbed her shoulders and said with a smile, "Is that all the reasons? Are there any other reasons?"

Obviously, Ariel's current attitude surprised Duck a little!

Maybe he didn't even think that his president didn't respond now?The imaginary performance that the president would immediately win over the child to join the guild as soon as he said it himself was completely absent!

This made Dak a little nervous. Seeing that Ariel was about to reach the guild, he hurriedly followed two steps, and said in a trembling voice: "President... these... aren't enough?"

Ariel turned her head, with a smile on her lips, and said, "Why? Do you think these two reasons are enough? Are there any others?"

Duck's expression suddenly became a little stiff.His lips moved for a moment, and when he saw Ariel push the door open, he shouted out nervously——

"Because! Because...I feel...he is a bit like me! Both...a little shy...! So...President...please! I will...I will try my best to discipline him...for sure... ...!"

Regarding Dak's earnest pleading appearance, Ariel nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know. Let's talk about this later~~ He still has three months How about the sentence? Let’s discuss this matter after the sentence is over, okay? So let’s do it now, I’m a little tired, I want to take a rest, you go and do your work.”

Completely hit a wall on Ariel's side, and Duck looked a little disappointed.After hesitating for a long time, the berserker finally sighed, nodded slightly, and retreated.Leaving Ariel alone, she slowly went upstairs, opened her door, and went in to rest.

"Woooooo~~~~"

As soon as he entered the door, the original expression was immediately thrown away.

Ariel no longer pretended to know everything as before, but threw off her shoes, threw herself on the bed, rolled around on the bed with her quilt in her arms, and felt deeply regretful.

"Woooo! I'm so stupid...I'm really stupid! How could I do such a stupid thing? Woooo...Ariel, Ariel...you are so stupid! You are so stupid! She is the stupidest and stupidest woman in the world! Woooooo..."

"If you are a stupid woman, aren't other women in this world so stupid that they can't even speak?"

I don't know when, Napa has been waiting here for a long time.After seeing the human female rolling around on the bed, it slowly floated down from the cabinet next to it, looked at her, and said.

Ariel was startled, and quickly threw away the quilt and sat up.After seeing that it was Napa who spoke, she put on a very helpless expression again, sighed, lay on the bed in the shape of a big character, and started blowing bubbles.

"I heard you when you walked in."

Napa floated to the window sill, looked at Duck walking away in a daze outside, and said——

"I also feel that our guild lacks a means of long-range magic attack. Dak's words are correct. This should be a good way to expand our team, but why do you refuse?"

"I didn't refuse." Ariel hugged her pillow and puffed her cheeks. "It's just that the time is not yet ripe. There are too many things to worry about. It is impossible for me to directly recruit a prisoner into my guild."

Napa shook her head, floated to Ariel's chest again, sat down on her chest, stretched out her paw and lightly tapped the human woman's nose, and said, "Then what is your stupid confession just now?" What do you mean? You finally decided to be Mother Earth?"

Ariel shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off Napa's claws.But this little meat pad can always slap on the bridge of her nose just right.After two or three struggles, she stopped struggling, but began to exhale, blowing away the kitten's paws, and said——

"I regret it. I made some promises that I shouldn't have made at all. Sigh... I'm really suffering more and more as the mayor... I feel like I'm losing money all over..."

Seeing that Ariel didn't want to smell her meat pads so much, Napa stretched out both meat pads even more, laying on her cheeks at the same time, arched her waist, and said, "You woman, what's the matter? Want to You were the shadow mayor, and you were the one who asked to be the mayor later. You were the one who wanted to make money, and you were the one who used the money from the guild to fill the vacancy in the city. Since it was all your own choice, Why do you still feel that you are at a disadvantage all day long? Besides, I don't think you are at a disadvantage now, your prestige in this city can be said to be unprecedented."

"That's the problem!"

Ariel straightened up abruptly, stretched out her hands to grab the little white cat, lifted it up, and shouted at it——

"As soon as my brain got hot, I said that there should be no difference between nobles and slaves! I even shouted that everyone can have enough food, and the rich will not be able to oppress the common people by relying on their own money. Already!"

"But the problem is, I am a rich man myself!!!"

"Those words I said, I thought about it later, wouldn't it be possible for me to get all the retribution? If someone thinks that I, the mayor, should not get so much money, they should follow what I said and let everyone If you are all rich, what should you do if you ask me to pay? Should I pay?"

The first thousand and 250 chapters of self-contradiction

"Also! I am not only the president of Mermaid Song, but also the mayor of Pelican City! Do you know what it will cost me to be the president and mayor at the same time?!"

Napa tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally meowed in a very cute gesture: "Will... make you grow old?"

"Will-let-me-lose-money-lose-more-more-!!!"

Ariel really wanted to throw the cat on the ground and stomp on her feet—"Since I am the mayor, if something goes wrong in the city, people will think that I must be sending money to the guild Misappropriation! Even if I announce the government's financial data, some people will definitely think that the policies I promulgate as the mayor are definitely more conducive to the operation of the guild, so the guild can make more money!"

"So, once the city is short of money, someone will definitely jump out and ask me to embezzle the guild's money to fill the city's holes! If I don't do this, then what I said before will immediately become empty words, all It's just a moment of quick tongue!"

For the roar of this human woman, it may be difficult for Napa, who is a monster, to understand the logic inside.

Just because it couldn't understand, after thinking for a while, it meowed again: "But in fact, you won't make a city policy that makes Mermaid's Song more profitable, right?"

"Qu-problem-yes-! I-sure-definite-will-issue-publish-ah-!"

There was almost nothing but panic left on Ariel's face.

She kept pinching the cat, walking up and down the room and saying——

"I will definitely promulgate various policies that will help the guild make money! Otherwise, what am I doing as the mayor? I have even thought of a series of policy decrees to be promulgated! The first one is that I want to Indirectly restrict the establishment of other guilds in Pelican City! Although I will not directly prohibit it in the decree, I can stipulate how much contribution must be made to Pelican City in order to open a guild in Pelican City. Nominally, it can improve Pelican City. The construction of the Pelican City, but you don’t think other guilds have come in, so how can you contribute? So it can’t be opened at all! In the end, the entire Pelican City is monopolized by my Song of the Mermaid!”

"I've thought about this kind of policy a lot! I didn't even think about it on purpose, as long as I sleep and dream at night, these things will pop up in my mind!"

"But whenever I want to implement these policies, I always think of the big words I uttered before! How can I do this by saying that I am for the citizens of Pelican City, but actually doing monopoly to make a fortune? What kind of thing is coming?"

Napa has been completely stunned now. After hesitating for a moment, it said again with doubts: "So... what you said before for the sake of the common people are all lies?"

"It's all sincere! Even now, I still sincerely want everyone to live a good life!"

Ariel let go of Napa, put her head in her hands, crouched in the corner of the room and began to feel sorry for herself——

"But the problem is that I obviously want to do good things for everyone, so that everyone can live a better life. But I also want to make more money, because only by making more money can I better protect everyone! The Song of the Mermaid is the way for me to make more money! Ahhhh! I also know that I am so contradictory that I am going crazy, I am a woman who has no opinions and contradicts herself!!!”

For such a completely crazy human woman, Napa now has no idea what she wants to do.After thinking about it, the little white cat finally raised a meaty paw, and said with a touch of comfort——

"I have an idea, you can be the mother of the earth, so that you don't have to worry about—"

"Don't mention the mother of the earth to me! If you mention the mother of the earth again, I will make you the mother of kittens! Napa, do you really want to get pregnant? Believe it or not, I will throw you into a pile of male cats that are in heat In the middle, let you become the mother of what?!"

If it was the past, Napa would definitely slam the girl's face twice with her own pad.

However, after seeing this human woman showing such an anxious look, Napa finally slowly lowered the paw that she originally wanted to raise.

Floating in mid-air, Napa witnessed Ariel lying on the bed, rolling around and struggling constantly.After hesitating for a long time, the cat finally said: "After all, you still haven't figured out what to do, right? Since you haven't figured it out, what should you do next?"

Ariel sat up from the bed, took a few breaths, tilted her head, and said with a frustrated face: "I don't know... To be honest, I really don't know what I should do now. I own this guild, own These wealth, these things can be said to be the foundation of my foothold. But if I want to abandon this wealth and completely consider it from the position of an ordinary commoner, although I want to, I really can't do it..."
