Gold is Justice

The male elf nodded again and said with a smile: "Of course. Your behavior is completely different from that of ordinary women. In my opinion, you really use your own life to create your own epic. Moreover, you also I want to pass on your epic, so that more people can live like you. In my opinion, as long as I can meet you, let alone work for money, even if I don’t get paid, I’m the same Willing to come, and tell you with my own mouth how much I adore you."

Ariel curled her lips, feeling a little happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "It seems that for this job, you really understand it~~~"

The male elf laughed again: "Hahaha, Miss Ariel doesn't seem to believe me? That's okay. Compared to other people, besides admiring you, I also really fall in love with you. Sigh~ ~~ If it wasn't for my status, I'm afraid I would really kneel down and propose to you immediately, and then take you to our elf territory, and even honor you as the elf queen."

Although such flattery sounds very fake, but just listening to it is quite useful.

Ariel smiled even more happily, but then she snorted and said, "Marry me? Propose to me? Oh, sir, how long have you been in this business? In terms of age, I'm afraid you are There are more than my grandpa's grandpa's grandpa, right?"

The male elf froze for a moment, as if he was thinking about this question carefully.When there was a gap in the dance music, he nodded and said: "Love can cross ages, and I believe it can also cross races. Please believe that, Miss Ariel, it is definitely not that simple for me to read your love." And narrow love. If you think that I am not suitable to marry you with my identity...how about the identity of the Elven King?"

This joke is really getting more and more funny, Ariel just followed his words: "What? Don't tell me you are the elf king~~~ The majestic elf king puts his throne aside and runs away Come to pick up girls in our human world? Did you meet every girl who told her to make her an elf queen?"

The male elf also seemed to be touched by Ariel's joke, and couldn't help laughing out loud, then shook his head and said, "Miss Ariel, you love to joke more than I do. Of course I am not the elf king, but I may I can advise our elf king to marry you. As I said, my love for you is not so simple. As long as you are willing to marry into the elf family, what does it matter if you marry me?"

Ariel shrugged: "The moral concepts of your elves are really strange."

The male elf smiled and said: "It should be said that our elves live more freely. This may be our advantage, but it is also our shortcoming. I don't know Miss Ariel, do you know about the demon war thousands of years ago?"

Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly shifted to this place, Ariel was slightly taken aback, but then thought that these elves have an extremely long lifespan!Maybe you can find out something about the demon war?

"I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it! We humans remember the war 1304 years ago!"

The male elf nodded and continued: "Yeah, you humans are really good at calculating things like this. I'm ashamed to say that the demon clan war a thousand years ago involved the whole world because of the problems of our elves." .”

"The elves are involved in the whole world?! What's going on?"

Human historical records do not have much explanation for the cause and process of the demon war, so Ariel is still not very clear.Now, it's the first time I've heard that the elves have led to the demon war!If it can be recorded and compiled into a book, it must be sold for a lot of money, right? !

No, it's not just about money, but also about reputation!If you have a lot of fame, you will definitely be able to make more people believe what you say!

"What's going on? Well... There are many complicated reasons for this, but in general, we should start with an elf who aspires to be a hero..."

The male elf assumed a storytelling attitude.

But he had just started, and the dance music came to an abrupt end.Now that the music stopped, the male elf couldn't continue to hold Ariel's waist, so he could only let go and smiled.The look in his eyes obviously meant to have another dance, so he continued.

However, Ariel looked at the other two handsome men beside her, and saw that their faces were visibly agitated.

In order to make money, these people are really anxious...

Ariel opened her mouth, wanting to speak.But at this moment, three people came over from there, saw Ariel and called her name directly.

Turning his head, he saw that it was none other than Viscount Norris, Viscount Rich, and a handsome man whose name he didn't know.

"Looks like I'm done."

The male elf smiled helplessly, and finally let go of Ariel's hand, turned his head, and walked towards the other two men.

Seeing his leaving back, Ariel always felt a little lost.But now that the owner here came over, she had no choice but to turn around and look at the three people who came over with a smile on her face, and smiled.

"The mayor of Pelican City! The president of Mermaid Song! Ariel Garcia! Hahaha! Long time no see, I am really happy that you can come today!"

It was Viscount Norris who spoke first.

While the Viscount was speaking, Mochi, who had just been bewildered by the two men and was speechless, immediately recovered, and quickly stood beside Ariel, his face returned to the old one. With a serious expression, he silently looked at the three people in front of him.

Not to mention anything else, just seeing Mochi's slightly sharp ears, scarlet eyes and fair skin, Norris immediately sensed the identity of this person, and said with a smile: "Oh, no Thinking that the bodyguard next to Mayor Garcia has changed again? And it’s getting younger and cuter?"

Ariel nodded to Norris and said with a smile: "Hello, Viscount Norris. I am also very honored to be invited to this banquet by you. Viscount Rich, I didn't expect that you would also Here? I haven't seen you for a while, how is business going?"

Now in someone else's territory, Ariel will not foolishly let others lead the conversation in whose hands is it.After the simple greetings, she immediately took the initiative to grasp the topic.

In this regard, of course Rich would not think too much.He stroked the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "Business? Haha, the business is really good! I recently bought a new boat, and I have some new business to do! Ariel, do you have any Participate even if you’re not interested? It’s very profitable~~~!”

Ariel was also polite, nodded and smiled: "Of course, as long as there is a profitable business, how could I refuse it? But Viscount Rich, although you do business very frankly, please come back more often to take care of the pelican." Liancheng? Otherwise, others would think that there is no lord to take care of Pelican City, and others will bully us casually. At this time, there is a lord here, so we can take care of the place."

Now, Ariel's voice is softer.The crisp voice unique to women coupled with a little bit of a coquettish tone made Rich in the front very useful.At that moment, he nodded at Ariel repeatedly, then turned his head and glanced at Norris and the handsome man next to him, and said, "That's right, some people think that the lord of Pelican City is not at home often, so they think that there is no one in the city." People are covered, and they like to do things wrong. It's better to take care of this kind of thing in the future!"

Looking at Rich's eyes, Ariel naturally understood what was going on here.However, this is not the root of the problem, so she is also happy to treat it as a trivial matter, smiled, and perfunctory said: "By the way, Viscount Rich, when will you come back next time? There are still many people in the city Something needs your attention."

Hearing this, Rich immediately frowned, patted his thigh and said, "Oh... this is more troublesome. You know, I'm busy with my own business this year, and I really don't have any in Pelican City." What time to take care of it. Don't show me those messy affairs, I am not the lord to run this city, I just take an identity! A noble with a territory is better than those who don't The aristocrats should have more face!"

The first thousand and 260 chapters of the untouchables can be recycled

Ariel had a troubled expression on her face, and said, "Is that so? But there are many things in the city..."

Rich quickly waved his hands, as if he was afraid that these things would drag him down, and hurriedly said: "You can solve these things by yourself! I believe in your ability, you can do it! Hahaha, I just need to be responsible for collecting money while lying down It's up to you to decide on other matters, big or small!" Hearing this, Ariel finally stopped talking.She smiled slightly, and slowly saluted the lord.However, this does not mean that her topic is over here. In order to prevent the Norris next to him who wanted to speak all the time, she glanced at the young and handsome nobleman behind her and said, "Excuse me, who is this?" ...?"

After talking with Ariel, Rich became familiar, and quickly introduced: "Ah, let me introduce you two! This is the current mayor of Pelican City, the president of the Mermaid Song Guild, Ariel Miss Garcia! As for this one, he is the lord of a town in the next province, Baron Jason. Get to know each other."

Hearing the name "Jason", Ariel immediately matched the name with the impression in her mind.Soon, she found a matching member among the many lord names spoken by the prisoners.

Immediately, the smile on her face became even brighter. She stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "So it's Baron Jason? I'm sorry, I've heard that Mr. Jason is a very handsome man. I saw him today. You really surprised me. You must be liked by many girls, right?"

After seeing Ariel with his own eyes, Jason seemed a little stunned.When she was talking just now, the baron was also constantly looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, and he was even a little dumbfounded.

Now, after seeing Ariel stretching out her hand, he came back to his senses in an instant, walked up to hold Ariel's hand with a smile, bent down and kissed the back of her middle finger, and said slowly: Miss Garcia's beauty, there must be many men who show affection to you on weekdays, right? After meeting you today, I realized that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is really blessed. You can even have a woman with both wisdom and beauty as your mistress. To be honest, I didn’t believe it when I heard the two viscounts praise your beauty at first, and I thought it was a bit exaggerated. But now I see , How can the description of these two viscounts match your real case."

Ariel withdrew her hand, took out a small fan from her bosom, opened it, covered her lips, giggled, and said, "Where is it, you are really flattering yourself."

Seeing that Ariel kept making jokes and turning the topic to various angles of greeting, Norris couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly took advantage of the temporary interruption of the topic and said, "Let's not just stand here and talk, Why don't you find a place to sit down and have a good chat? Miss Ariel, I have some interesting money-making news here, I believe you will also be interested."

Although she didn't know what kind of plans these people had in mind, Ariel also knew that it would be impossible for her to avoid it like this.

No way, now I can only agree, nodded, let Norris lead the way, and found a place to sit down.

In one corner of the garden, the element lights here are slightly dimmer than elsewhere.There is a white round table top that seems to have been prepared long ago, a soft cushion is placed on the exquisitely carved birch wood chair, and some refreshments have been placed on the table.

Seeing such a posture, Ariel also knew that these people must be thinking about something very important to discuss.

"Miss Ariel, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the mayor of Pelican City. I have a small congratulatory gift from my side that I would like to present to you personally."

While speaking, Norris snapped his fingers, and the servant next to him immediately presented a small box and placed it in front of Ariel.

Ariel looked at the small box, and after a moment of silence, she reached for it and opened it.

Inside is a light blue bracelet made in the shape of a mermaid.It looks like many fish are swimming with a mermaid, with warm color and soft texture.

"This is a bracelet made of black steel, a small gift, not a tribute."

Ariel was slightly taken aback, holding the bracelet and looking at it over and over again, and said: "It's made of Xuanqing steel? The price...isn't cheap, right? I remember that just a piece of second-class quality Xuanqing steel costs [-] to [-] gold Well. If such a piece of black steel is made into a bracelet, and the workmanship is so good..."

Norris waved his hand and said with a smile: "Oh! Miss Ariel, seeing how polite you are, this is just a small gift! No matter how expensive the price is, it is just a worthless gadget in front of you Is it? This is just my little thought, please stop being polite to me. "

Although Ariel thinks it's not good to accept it like this, but they have already delivered it to her, and she has accepted so many gifts from others before, it would be too much if she simply refused to accept such a thing see you...

After thinking about it, she finally smiled, put the bracelet on her wrist, and looked at it.

Mochi from behind came up to look at the bracelet, then nodded: "Really, beautiful."

Rich laughed and clapped his hands: "I'll just say it! Our president is beautiful, has a good figure, and is young and promising, no matter what he wears, he looks so beautiful! Ariel, just listen to my advice, and in the future you will wear Remember to dress yourself up more, wear more beautiful clothes like this, and wear more jewelry. You are such a beautiful woman, what do you look like if you don’t dress up all day long? And when you pretended to be a man before, your whole body was from top to bottom It's all dirty and dirty, and your face is often gray, how much does it cover up your appearance? What a pity!"

The corners of Ariel's mouth turned up slightly, showing an awkward smile, she nodded and said: "Understood, I will dress up more in the future. Viscount Rich, but in the future, can you stop saying these things in front of so many people?" Say? Listening to you say this, it always feels like an old father is disciplining his daughter. "

Rich liked to hear this, he patted the table again, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right! I am indeed qualified to be your father in terms of age! Dad cares about his precious daughter's clothes. What's wrong with being pretty and cute? Jason, you don't know how bad this little girl looked before! She was wearing a big, thick hat, and her clothes seemed to be integrated with the loess The ugly clothes, the face is black and yellow, and the body even emits the smell of manure in the cultivated land from time to time! Oh, just thinking about it, I can't imagine how she persisted back then ?”

Jie Sen also laughed, and said: "So, Miss Ariel has had a very unbearable experience?"

Unbearable experience?

Ariel suddenly thumped in her mind.

But she was not allowed to continue to think about it, Jason continued: "But think about it, the previous life was hard, and no matter what you do, you need to pay. It is only after working hard that we can There is such a good life to go on enjoying, right?"

At this point, a hint of alertness suddenly appeared in Ariel's mind.Just because of the vigilance in her heart, the smile on her face became even sweeter, and she said with a smile: "My brothers, and this Viscount Rich who claims to be my father, what are you trying to say by pulling me here now?" Huh? Could it be... you really want to judge me, right?"

Viscount Norris quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where is that? The main reason for inviting Miss Ariel here today is to have a good chat and have a good heart-to-heart! There was a little misunderstanding between us before, but now, I hope that The misunderstanding can be resolved, and we can all open up to each other from now on! Right?"

Ariel straightened her head with one arm, looked at Viscount Norris with a pair of bright eyes, continued to look at him with that sweet smile, and said, "If possible, I also hope to have a complete truce with you all. There were some unavoidable things in the past. It can only be said that it is for making money, for survival, as a last resort.”

Rich nodded quickly: "That's right! Don't you understand everything after talking about this kind of thing?"

Viscount Norris coughed, probably thinking that the fire was over, and finally said——

"Miss Ariel, let me tell you what's on my mind. You are now... the mayor of Pelican City, and your status is naturally different. You are no longer the little guild leader you used to be. , but an aristocrat with status, status, and dignity."

Ariel still had a smile on her face.Such a smile made Norris wonder for a moment what the girl was thinking, but he continued—

"So, you are on our side, right? So, what you said to those ordinary people before is fine. I also know that it is not easy for you to rule those foolish people, but sometimes you want to To divert the conflict, we really don’t need to turn the fire on our own people.”

Originally, Ariel thought that these nobles finally had something to trouble her.

Unexpectedly, this nobleman really "revealed his heart" to himself, and just spoke out what he had been depressed these days.

At that moment, the smile she was still maintaining couldn't hold back immediately, and slowly dimmed.

Viscount Norris went on to say: "Look, in fact, we have all discussed it before. Fools! If something goes wrong in our daily life, we will naturally have resentment and ideas. These are all It's normal. Just like Baron Jason, the citizens in the villages and towns under his leadership will also have ideas and grievances."

"However, Baron Jason can well direct these grievances to other cities instead of provoking them on himself."

At this time, Jason also opened his mouth immediately, and then said: "That's right, Miss Garcia. This is a very simple job. If you feel that the people under your rule are a little hard to persuade, you can tell them that they The reason why their life is not good now is entirely because other cities and other regions have robbed them of their wealth, which makes their life so bad."

"If you really can't bear to involve other cities...you can also throw the pot on my head. You can say that it is the problem of other cities. It is the workers in those cities who have robbed them of food. Jobs, land. I believe that with Miss Garcia's wisdom, you can't think of these words, right?"

Hearing this, Ariel was a little surprised. She no longer supported her head with her hands, and said slowly: "Let the troubles be directed to you? Is that okay?"

Jason smiled and said: "Actually, everyone is doing this. If your people have grievances, just say it's my problem. If my people have problems, say it's someone else's problem. Say it’s your problem. Anyway, as long as the people under us feel that their poor lives are entirely due to the badness of people in other cities, that’s fine.”

Hearing these words, Ariel was a little terrified, and she couldn't help covering her chest and said: "But... if they really attacked each other like this, wouldn't those people attack each other? If someone died under your leadership, that's also Is it okay?"

Regarding Ariel's remarks, Norris and Jason, who are veteran nobles, couldn't help but looked at each other, and both showed amused smiles.

Rui Chi next to him also had doubts, nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, these people are dead. Wouldn't it be troublesome if they died?"

Norris laughed, as if hearing something very funny.

After laughing twice, he clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, our Miss Garcia just became the mayor, and there are some things I really don't know how to do. Mr. Jason, come and talk to our beauty Shall we talk to the mayor?"

Jason nodded, and then with a serious expression, as if thinking of something funny, he stretched out his hands and patted the table, and said with a smile: "Actually, managing these people is very simple. Just let them think that we These nobles are all high-ranking, kind, and kind-hearted. If there is any problem under our management, it must be that we good people have been deceived by others, and there must be some treacherous people around us. The villain has us bewitched."

"As long as this kind of image creation can be completed, those pariahs will take the initiative to believe us and think that we nobles are right no matter what. In this way, even if they fight with people from other cities, it is absolutely impossible It will not lead to problems on us."

"On the other hand... death is actually not a bad thing."

Jason leaned back, leaning comfortably on the chair, and continued——

"It's like the famine that is happening now. Why is there a famine? Naturally, it is because there is not enough food. Since there is not enough food, if a few people die, isn't there enough food?"

Norris tapped his glass lightly, and the servant next to him immediately came up to fill it up for him. He held his glass and shook it, admiring the deep rose-colored wine inside, and said with a smile: After the fight, the natural food is enough. And sometimes not only the food is enough, even the land is vacant. At this time, we go to buy the land, but we can buy it at a very low price. So for As far as we are concerned, as long as the fire does not burn us nobles, the untouchables below can die at will. Even if they are all dead, when we hire tenant farmers who have fled from other places at a slightly higher price, these farmlands will still be very fast. Someone will farm. Then, continue to lower the wages of the tenant farmers, and let them kill each other again after they are dissatisfied again, so as to reincarnate.”
