Gold is Justice

This is an empty house in a village, and the owner of the house has already run away. According to Gouster, they don't know when they will come back, so they simply let Mermaid Song and his team stay.

Since it is a house on a hillside, the place is only big enough for such a room, so the house can be regarded as a little bigger.It is not too crowded to entertain all the "guests" who came today.

Now, Cream spread a thick layer of hay on the ground, and took out everyone's sleeping bags.When everyone was about to go to bed, Dak asked, "I don't quite understand."

As for what he didn't understand, Dak didn't need to say.Because Ariel over there already showed a smile and nodded slightly.

"I don't quite understand either."

Mochi squatted in the corner of the room, staring straight at the elf who was also staying in this room, and said——

"How did he get here? He's a—"

Before Mochi could understand what she said, Ariel next to her quickly covered her mouth with her hand, turned her head, and said to Yi Ge over there; "Mr. Money. How long have you... been doing that job?"

Egg smiled, his face was very peaceful.Compared with the embarrassment and caution in front of Dogster during the day, he is now a little more generous——

"Miss Ariel, are you interested? If it's a long night and you need someone to accompany you, as long as the price is right, I will definitely satisfy you."

I have to say that the elf's smile is indeed very charming.

Their smiles are filled with a unique charm, and their delicate faces, which are different from normal human men, give people a different kind of handsome and handsome feeling.

They are also handsome, his handsomeness and Dak's handsomeness are two completely different feelings.Indeed, the appearance of an elf will give Ariel a feminine feeling, the long eyelashes, bright eyes, everything is so perfect... However, he will not give Ariel any feminine feeling, on the contrary In this beauty, there is another kind of strong masculinity faintly revealed.

So, if it wasn't for Ariel who felt that her concentration was still strong, she might have been hooked away by this call man with such a sentence!

Even if she wasn't hooked away, Ariel couldn't help but blush when she heard this sentence.

Cream snorted: "Hey, recognize your own status, okay?"

Yi Ge quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, professional habits! You also know that bards like us go to big cities to play, and if we meet some dignitaries and dignitaries, we have to go to their homes playing, and the ladies whose masters are away for long periods of time if need be .

Dak sighed: "The noble and elegant elf in the legend has fallen to this level..."

Mochi also nodded vigorously, continued to squat in the corner with her legs hugged, and said, "You are so different from the elves in the records of our Night Clan."

The jelly on the side seemed to be trying hard to insert such a conversation, and finally heard a place to intervene, and said quickly: "Isn't it? Sister Mochi, what kind of elf in your blood clan records... is it?"

Mochi did not reject Jelly's words, and said: "In our records, the elves live in a place that only they can find. They are a group of lonely, noble, powerful, and mysterious races. With you Humans are different. They all have elemental affinity from the moment they are born, and it is not uncommon for many of them to have more than one elemental affinity, or even three or four elemental affinity. All in all, elves If a family is reduced to male—"

Ariel reached out to cover Mochi's mouth again, turned the little girl's head to look at herself, and said seriously: "Who taught you this word? There should be no such profession in Pelican City, how could you say this word?" ?”

Mochi looked puzzled, and said, "The traveling businessman taught me that the elf's job should be male—"

"Forget this word, okay? Girls can't speak so vulgarly, you know?"

Facing Ariel's smiling face, Mochi thought for a while, and finally closed his mouth, nodded, and stopped talking.

Ariel exhaled, let go of Mochi's face and looked at Yi Ge over there, and said, "Elves rarely appear in our human records. Although half-elves with elven blood are not very unusual, but pure blood The elves are really rare. I only saw one when I was in the capital before."

Yi Ge was taken aback, with a smile on his face, and said, "Really? Have you seen other elves in the capital of the Blue Bay Empire?"

Ariel frowned, and said, "I don't know if that person is an elf or a half-elf... After all, there is no big difference in appearance. And you, I don't know whether you are pure-blooded or half-elf." Half-blood? Maybe you are also a half-elf?"

Yi Ge nodded, and said with a smile: "If it's really an elf, it's really touching. I didn't expect my companion to be in the capital? Then I must go to see him. Since I can If you live in the capital, you might have a lot of money, so you can help me a little~~~"

Mochi: "You're an elf, you're too bad, aren't you?"

Yi Ge looked at Mochi and said with a smile: "The blood race didn't mix well before, did they?"

Mochi pouted and stopped talking.

At this point, Ariel smiled slightly and said: "Then, Mr. Yi Ge, we will discuss some internal affairs of our Mermaid Song next. Could you please... go to the side?"

Seeing Ariel's voice, Yi Ge looked up and down, nodded, stood up, and said, "I know, how do you want to control this small village? I understand, it's not convenient for me to inquire about commercial secrets. If necessary , do you want me to go outside?"

Ariel smiled: "It's not necessary, as long as you are willing to stay away from us a little bit."

Once again, Egg saluted Ariel, and then obediently went to the corner of the room over there, and lay down with a bundle of straw in his arms.Not long after, soft snoring came out of his mouth.

The first thousand 290 chapter three investment is risky

Seeing that Egg was asleep, Ariel immediately turned her head to face her guild members, and said, "Obviously, the situation here is beyond my expectation, I want to change my plan, you can see if there is anything good idea?"

Mochi: "President, what was your original plan?"

Ariel nodded, and said: "I originally thought that this village should have a certain scale. Even if it has not been fully developed, there should be a certain development plan. At least, the road to the official road should at least be opened. If it is In this way, if we have elemental vehicles, we can buy a large number of magic crystals by transporting them one by one, and then transport them back to our Pelican City."

"But now, this village is completely in an undeveloped state. Obviously, no one will come to develop it in the future. The current situation of this village is also precarious, and it will collapse completely in a short time. If in this situation If you want to develop the magic crystals that our Pelican City needs, then what you need is not just a simple means of transportation like an elemental car."

Ariel lifted her fingers, began to count, and said——

"The number of young people here is scarce, and if we want to open up a magic crystal mine, we need to recruit a large number of young people who can work in this village. The problem of food and accommodation for these young people is something that this village cannot solve. Therefore, the last A good way is to attract those young people who go out to work. In this way, I will solve the population problem of this village.”

"Then, this village has no way to go out. If you want to open a road for the transportation of magic crystals, I will help this village open a road down the mountain. In this way, I will solve the travel problem of this village."

"It seems that this village does not have the ability and plan to develop mines. Although we haven't really seen the mines yet, judging from their performance, it should basically belong to the practice of picking up some low-quality magic crystals on the ground. .In other words, if I need these magic crystals, I have to help the village solve a series of mining tool problems."

"Based on the above problems, if I really want to get the mine here, then I have to solve the problems of population, travel, and mining equipment in one go. If this is the case, then the money I want to spend is not A small amount."

Cream nodded, frowned, and said, "Who would have thought that they really didn't do anything? If they really want to do this, then the initial investment will cost a lot, and there is basically no return, right? Really It will take a very late stage to pay off. How long will it take? One year? Two years?" Ariel exhaled and said, "It will take at least two years... This whole set of infrastructure construction can't be done just by saying it. It's done. But that's not my biggest worry. My biggest worry is another point."

The president raised his head, glanced at his group members, and finally expressed his thoughts——

"What I worry about is that if I invest all the funds in the early stage and build all the infrastructure for them, and wait for me to get the magic crystal, other people will see that this village already has enough infrastructure , so if I want to intervene at that time, what should I do?"

"Since I have invested funds in the early stage, I will definitely ask for the most favorable price to buy magic crystals. But if other people are willing to buy these magic crystals at a slightly higher price, even if the village chief Gouster is willing to keep his promise, But will the other villagers be willing to keep their promises like him? In other words, if the village defaults in the later stage, how can I make them abide by my agreement?"

Dak frowned and said, "Aren't we going to sign a contract with them? Do they dare to break the contract?"

Ariel smiled wryly, and said: "If you violate the contract in Hanhai City, there will be guards to deal with it. If you violate the contract in Pelican City, we will be backed by Song of the Mermaid. But in Demon Mine Village, the power of Song of the Mermaid is not yet strong enough." The method radiates here, and if they want to violate the contract, then the violation will also be violated. I can hardly think of any way to ensure that they can always 'honestly keep their promises'."

Jelly exhaled, and said, "No wonder, that's why, Mr. Mayor, you want everyone in this village to sign a magic contract that cannot disobey you..." Duck pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said, "I am I have seen some magicians who can use their elemental affinity to write some oaths, and then use these oaths to force others to obey their agreement, otherwise they will be attacked by the elements."

"It's like the affinity of the thunder and lightning element. I once saw a person swear to a magician, but then broke the oath, and at the moment he broke the oath, he was directly beaten into a ball of coke by a thunderbolt that fell from the sky. Perhaps this is the kind of contract you need, President."

Since there really is such magic?This made Ariel look very surprised, and asked quickly: "Really? Is there really such magic?"

After finishing speaking, she involuntarily glanced at Jelly from the corner of her eye, and Jelly also realized that she was being watched now, and her whole body seemed to be refreshed.

However, this spirit is only temporary after all.Because the next moment, Dak shook his head directly, and said: "Although there is this kind of magic, that kind of magic should be a very high-level elemental magic. At our current level... there is no way to do it." So casually let someone swear an oath, and then that person will be struck by lightning if he breaks the oath."

This has actually been said very thoroughly, just to make it clear that the level of that magic is too high, and it is impossible to master it with the current jelly.

Ariel sighed, feeling a little helpless, but the overall situation did not exceed her expectations.The chairman pressed his hands on his legs and said slowly: "Then, everyone, think about it, is there any way to ensure that our interests will not be infringed? In other words, is there any way to ensure that after the completion of the infrastructure construction, When we're ready to reap the fruits, won't they regret it?"

Everyone thought about it for a while, and Mochi looked around at the people on both sides, and said, "According to what I said, whoever dares to break the oath, I will bite him directly. Is this the simplest?"

Cream couldn't help but smiled, looked at the little blood girl, and said with a smile: "Indeed, using force is indeed the safest method. But the problem is, our mermaid song, or our force in Pelican City, can't do anything about it right now." Continue to such a remote place. And on the other hand, we can use force to oppress, won't they use force to resist?"

Mochi frowned, and said seriously: "You humans, are you really that shameless? We helped them, and instead of thanking them, they even thought about breaking their promises?"

Cream also put on a stern face, pretending to be very embarrassed: "I'm so sorry, the bad habits of human beings let you see clearly. If you can look at the good habits of human beings while looking at the bad habits of human beings , that would be even better."

Dak exhaled, and said helplessly: "After all the infrastructure is shortened, this village will be able to earn more money by selling magic crystal mines. Since there is a way to earn more money, of course they will There's an incentive to defy us. That's a fact."

Ariel nodded slightly, and said: "If we use force, we need to leave at least one team here, and at least a team of no less than five people. Speaking of which, it's the same as the Holy See and the association sending those people It is the same reason to station in Pelican City and then use it to monitor us. This kind of monitoring behavior is useless to a certain extent, and we have also seen this year that people from the association and the Holy See have been infiltrated by me like a sieve." "On the other hand, these two groups of people have not been productive in the past year, and all their sources of income depend on the grants from the Holy See and the Magic Association. In other words, I am afraid that they will not be happy to let them go back now. Working outside It's easy and rich, and you can be an uncle in Pelican City, who would want to go back to Hanhai City, which is always inferior?"

"So, if we do the same, the cost of Mermaid Song will definitely not be a small sum."

Mochi rubbed her head, it was already night, but when she was thinking about these questions, she seemed a little bit skinny.

After thinking for a moment, she raised her head and said in a very serious tone that wanted to have a good discussion: "If force is not enough, then we can also buy those magic crystals at the same price, can we?"

Cream squeezed his chin and thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "Generally speaking... there is no problem. After all, we helped them build this village before and let all the villagers come back. Anyway, we treat this village as a There is kindness. So if the price is similar, I believe they will still be willing to sell the minerals to us as much as possible."

This method may indeed be a good method, but for Ariel, this is really as bad a method as possible.

She sighed and said slowly: "In this way, it is indeed guaranteed that they can sell us the magic power crystals as much as possible. However, maintaining such a relationship is a bit too expensive."

"It didn't take a day or two to get from Pelican City to Demon Mine Village, but it took us almost half a month. All the way is time and cost consuming. If it's the same as other people's If there is price competition, then our cost will definitely remain high. And..."

Ariel bit her lower lip lightly, and after thinking about it for a while, she still decided to say the words in her heart——

"Also, I think there may be some changes in the Blue Bay Empire in the future. These changes will lead to more elemental machines appearing in this world. Under such circumstances, our costs will soon be raised, Purchasing at the same price is equivalent to raising the export price of our goods in disguise, so it is impossible to compete with products such as elemental looms in the hands of other merchants."

Dak had already given up a little bit now. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, exhaled forcefully, and said, "Magic is not allowed, force is not allowed, equal trade is not allowed... neither this nor that, simply, if they dare to go back on their word, Let's just come here and destroy all the infrastructure in one go. Just treat all our previous work for nothing."

Cream is also frowning now, sighed, and said: "President, although I think Dak is speaking out of anger, but now that I think about it, that's the only way to go. Make an agreement with them in advance, if they dare to break the contract , we will destroy all the infrastructure!"

Regarding this method, Ariel thought about it for a while, and asked very seriously: "If it is said to be completely destroyed, then is it achieved? In this matter, only our Mermaid Song was injured? After all, for them As far as the villages are concerned, they don't have any access to the outside world. We built these channels, and then we destroyed them ourselves. We spent time, energy and money, and the result was nothing. Killed an enemy of the Demon Mine Village. Is this really good?"

Although the members also know that their president is desperately trying to find a way.

But just as Duck said, no matter what kind of suggestion they make, Ariel will see the loopholes in this suggestion, and it turns out that this will not work and that will not work, and in the end, no method can be used.

After making several suggestions one after another, the members of the guild seemed a little tired.Even Mochi, now resting his cheeks on his palms, sat beside Ariel, looking from side to side and then there, showing no interest in everything, and even a little bit like wanting to fall asleep.

Not long after, everyone finally had nothing to say, and they all expressed silence.

Regarding this, Ariel also knew that it would be difficult for her to come up with an answer in one night, so she could only sigh, let everyone rest in peace, and lay down with her clothes on, and stopped talking.

the next day.

The morning sun shone through the hole in the corner of the thatched cottage early.

After Mochi yawned and squatted beside Ariel, shaking Ariel with both hands to wake her up, the blood girl yawned, curled up in a corner and fell asleep.

The others woke up slowly, and when Ariel opened her eyes and stretched her waist, she saw Ego, the elf on the other side of the house, who seemed to have woken up a long time ago, holding a lute in his hand, It is being carefully debugged.

Maybe it's because the members of Song of the Mermaid are all awake. With his fingers flicking lightly, pieces of music like birds chirping in the morning are played out of the lute, filling this simple thatched hut. Added a little dynamism.

"President Ariel! Are you awake?"

After a while, Dogster's voice sounded outside the thatched cottage.

Cream got up, put on the clothes on his body, walked to the door, and opened it.I saw that the head of the Gousite village outside was already staring at this place with a smile on his face.

"Master Goust, good morning."

Ariel is also up now.The October morning was still a bit chilly, she put on her cloak again, put on her hat, and nodded to Gouster.The village chief looked at Ariel at this time, and his eyes seemed to be a little different from last night. He smiled at Ariel and said quickly: "President Ariel, President Ariel! Are you awake?" Have you freshened up? If not, please come here, and I will take you to the place where you freshen up. Then, please come and have breakfast! Although today’s breakfast is incomparable with last night’s pork feast, we have already After drawing up the menu, it will definitely satisfy your appetite!"

This change of mood is really unique.

Ariel couldn't help but began to recall last night, when she said that she hoped that these people could sign a contract that would not violate her, the surprised expression on Dogster's face.

After only one night, he suddenly had such a change?

Despite the doubts in her heart, Ariel still nodded with a smile on her face.Afterwards, everyone in the thatched hut, including Yi Ge, went to a small waterfall halfway up the mountain behind to freshen up.Afterwards, Gouster led the people to the slightly flat mountainside of the village, and saw that a large round table had been set up in front of the entrance and exit of the village. But it was obvious that there had been a well-presented breakfast.

Goster led the crowd to their seats, and Ariel was arranged to sit at the head.After everyone was seated, Gouster immediately raised a cup of clear spring water in his hand, and said with a smile, "President Ariel, please, please! There are no good things in the small mountain village, please forgive me! "
