Gold is Justice

After agreeing to set off immediately, the group quickly returned along the original road. After a long journey, they finally walked out of the mine.

Once out of the cave, a starry sky is already in sight.

Airl took a deep breath, it was so refreshing to be able to feel the fresh air again!

The soldiers on duty at the entrance of the mine immediately stepped forward when they saw Ai Luo and others coming out safely, and arranged to go down the mountain and enter the barracks.

It's a pity that it's too late now, Earl Garp is already fast asleep.

There was no other way, everyone could only spend another night in the barracks, and waited until Earl Garp woke up the next day before going to report.After the report was over, Song of the Mermaid returned to the guild.

At least this time the adventure was completed without any risk.

----

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Earl, please forgive us for our rudeness, and Miss Margaux for our ignorance."

Inside Earl Garp's tent, there was still a warm and fragrant atmosphere.

Whiskey and Dacron knelt before the earl after Mermaid Song said goodbye, looking sincere.After all, the two of them had already been severely taught by Ai Luo before they came in. For the sake of their fiancée and their own children, the two of them knew what to do now.

Earl Garp still leaned on the soft mattress and pillows with his mistress in his arms.Although seeing that the two soldiers who disobeyed him didn't lose their arms, but seeing their utterly embarrassed appearance and their humble attitude now, most of the anger in their hearts dissipated.Afterwards, the earl turned to his young and beautiful mistress, reached out and squeezed her chest hard: "So, what do you say?"

This woman named Margaux was laid out in the earl's arms delicately, and her smile was full of charm: "My heart and soul belong to the earl. If the earl thinks it's okay, I will listen to the earl in everything."

Being so admired by his mistress, the smile on Earl Garp's face made the fat on his face tremble.

He nodded, glanced at the two kneeling below again, waved his hands, and said, "Look at the dirty behavior of you two! Get out! Dirty my baby's eyes, be careful next time you take yours!" Head to apologize!"

Hearing this, Whiskey and Polyester finally let out a long breath, and the two stood up and retreated quickly and decisively.

After the two soldiers withdrew, Captain Muppet also saluted Earl Garp: "Your Excellency, if there is nothing else, I will also retreat."

Earl Garp waved his hand, and Captain Muppet left immediately.

Soon, Earl Garp and his mistress were the only ones left in the warm tent.

"Um……"

Margo snuggled into the count's arms and said softly, "Count, what's the matter?"

Earl Garp frowned, looked out of the door, and said, "I don't know what to say, this puppet... this time his attitude towards me was a bit tepid. He used to look more Be positive. It’s only been a mine, how come your personality has changed?”

Margot said sweetly: "Is he sick? Your Excellency, his face doesn't look very good."

Earl Garp nodded: "Well, yes. It seems that there is some disease under the mine. I heard that he vomited in the camp last night... Forget it, leave him alone! My dear, look at what we have today Are there any new tricks to play tonight?"

Facing Earl Garp's obscene smile, Margot broke free from his arms and said with a little coquettishness: "Your Excellency, I just finished it in the morning, and you want it again? Do you really want it?" It's too powerful, I really can't stand your majesty~~~"

Being praised by his most beloved woman for his majesty, Karp, an old man who is close to fifty, obviously benefited a lot.His face was immediately filled with red light, and the eyes that looked at Margot obviously loved him even more.

"Your Excellency, although I, as a little girl, shouldn't be involved in these important events of yours, I still feel that the gold mine in this mine...how do you plan to deal with it?" Earl Garp put his arms around her , was slightly stunned, and said: "How to deal with it? How to deal with it? Let the adventurer guild adjust it, and let them go down again in two days. This time, I got half a gold nugget, which is probably worth nothing." More than 100 gold coins. I hope to make them move faster and work harder."

Regarding Earl Garp's thoughts, Margot smiled lightly and shook her head slightly.

"Huh? Does my little beauty have any other ideas?"

Margo said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you obviously have too many things to deal with every day, so you ignore these insignificant things. You didn't listen to the mermaid song just now The short president said the details of this exploration Did you pass by? Those gold nuggets were cut out from the chest of the corpse eater."

Earl Garp nodded: "I know, what's the matter?"

Margaux walked around behind the count, wrapped her hands around him, pressed her big and soft breasts tightly against the back of the count's head, and continued in a soft voice: "In this case, can we put that corpse-eating corpse to death? Arrested by the king, and then locked up? As far as I know, there are still many death row prisoners in the territory of Your Excellency the Earl, right? It would be too wasteful to hang these death row prisoners one by one. Corpse eater king, and then they will all become corpse eaters, and then raised, until their hearts are all turned into gold nuggets... Hee hee, congratulations, Earl, you will soon have a gold nugget farm~ ~~"

As soon as this idea came out, Earl Garp's eyes lit up instantly!He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! Yes, yes! As expected of my little beauty, your idea is really great!"

Margo giggled: "In this way, you don't have to condescend to stay in this small country place all the time, you can go back to your territory. I think that even the roads are smelling of cows. The dung-smelling countryside is really not suitable for your noble body, Your Excellency Earl."

Once again, the smile on Earl Garp's face completely bloomed.He nodded again and again, stretched out his hand to gently pinch Margot's chin, and said with a smile: "So, my little baby is smart~~~! Well, that's right, Gold Nugget Farm! It's really good! And death row If you run out, you can still use those prisoners who dare to disobey me. And those untouchables! If these untouchables know that they can become a large piece of gold that is impossible to earn in this life, they will definitely be willing to volunteer! Little Beauty, you gave me such a good idea, what reward do you want? Just say it!"

Margaux blushed and kissed the Earl on the cheek: "You are so smart, I really like the Earl~~~! As long as I can continue to be by the Earl's side, it is better than any reward It's an award~~~"

Accompanied by these gentle whispers, Earl Garp laughed even more freely.

These laughter gradually spread out of the tent, and I don’t know if they can reach the depths of the mine and be heard by the darkness...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The guild is as busy as usual.

At this time, money is naturally coming faster.

But don't get me wrong, it's not that Song of the Mermaid is making more money.For this mission, Song of the Mermaid's only reward is the two gold coins that he got in exchange for the half-gold and half-flesh heart.Although Airl feels that he deserves more... But thinking about the first mission, let's adjust it first.

What is really happy is the entire Pelican Town.

As soon as everyone returned to the guild, they immediately saw the mayor of Round Cheese leading a few townspeople talking and laughing around the counter over there.Napa, the housekeeper, was full of resentment. As soon as he saw Airl and others coming back, the cat immediately dropped the pen wrapped around its tail, waved its paw and floated up: "I won't write any more." Stop writing! The president is back, if you have any questions, go to the right owner! Those over there, come here quickly! Don’t delay my sleep!"

Ai Luo smiled, and asked his family members to rest and adjust, while he put down the things in his hands and handed them to Ke Ke, and walked behind the counter.

Round Cheese's face was smiling like a cake filled with cream, and he cheerfully led other townspeople to entrust various tasks.At the end, he kept thanking Airl.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

Originally, the fact that the army came to station in Pelican Town made the town a little nervous.But once Mermaid Song shows its friendship with the military, the town that is also friendly to Mermaid Song can naturally be liberated from this tension.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the army is, it is also composed of people.Since we are human beings, we naturally have business.

During the three days when the army was stationed, those off-duty soldiers would naturally wander around the town, buy something, eat and drink when they had nothing to do.Although the town does not have any special entertainment, the town is located in a remote location, and the surrounding environment is quite good. In addition, some drinks and food can be provided, which is a good place to relax.

It is precisely because of this that the bazaar in the small town, which had begun to gradually fall silent, is now bustling again.Everyone is busy, and the more money transferred, the more work will naturally occur.In the final analysis, this is all due to the friendly relationship between Song of the Mermaid and the army, and the radiation effect brought about by this is naturally enough to make the mayor and the townspeople smile.

Quickly handle all the commissions and post them on the bulletin board.After Ai Luo sent the mayor and the others away, he stretched and rubbed his shoulders.

Seeing that the people had finally finished walking, Napa yawned a lot, floated down on Airl's head, and said, "How was the mission work this time? How much did you earn?"

Ai Luo sighed, smiled helplessly and said, "Not much, just two gold coins. However, what we encountered is quite troublesome."

Napa: "Trouble?"

Airl nodded, and then told Napa briefly and clearly what happened in the underground mine.

After it was over, he asked, "Do you know, what is this thing that has the lower body of a lizard and the upper body is full of tentacles with eyes? Although the natural history book I saw in the school library itself is not complete. , but the appearance of this creature is a bit too strange."

The cat's ears droop slightly, and its tail wags from side to side with a little hesitation.

After thinking for a while, the cat finally shook its head slightly, laying its head flat on Airl's hat, and said, "This is really strange, I didn't know there was such a monster... But, in this world There are already many types of Warcraft, and I have been self-sealed for so many years, and it is not surprising that some new species appear during this time."

After pausing for a while, Napa stretched out her paw and patted Airol's forehead lightly, and said, "Hey, have you thought about what to do? Since the pool will suddenly drop, there is no guarantee that this monster will not In the environment where you hunt ghouls."

When it comes to corpse eaters, Airl also frowned, looking very embarrassed: "Speaking of corpse eaters, I thought I knew it well, but now that I think about it, the answers to the mysteries of this monster are no worse than There are few new monsters encountered this time.”

"When I saw it for the first time, this kind of monsters lived by eating blood worms. After eating human flesh for the first time, they seemed to be surprised. But in this way, these corpse eaters always Who created it at the beginning? Judging from the evolution process of the corpse eaters, they must have been human beings at the beginning, but what happened to this kind of human beings? In the end it became this state..."

"In addition, the Corpse Eater King can make a sound when he is fighting the Tentacle Warcraft. Why is this? If the silence effect of the Tentacle Warcraft can only block the sound from the human mouth, then why is this function needed in the first place? Exist? After all, there are very few humans in that abyss, right?"

While asking himself questions, Airl thought for himself.After thinking for a long time, he still shook his head and said——

"The Tentacle Warcraft didn't have any desire to attack the Corpse Eater King at first, it just didn't want to be robbed of its prey. And the Corpse Eater King didn't show any hostility towards the Tentacle Warcraft at the beginning, it was purely aimed at the puppet that had attacked it before. Later, the two sides Enmity and mutual attack only arise after disagreement. But in this case, these two kinds of Warcraft should have had no disputes before we entered. They each exist in their own domains and have nothing to do with each other."

"In this case, it can explain why the silence effect of the Tentacle Monster Beast did not have an effect on the Corpse Eater King. Because they are not enemies themselves, there is no need for the Tentacle Monster Beast to target the Corpse Eater King. And from the moment the two sides fought, The fact that the tentacled monsters aimed their eyes at the light-emitting organs of the Corpse King, it can be seen that they did not have any experience in fighting each other before."

"But, if that's the case..."

Speaking of this, Airl's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and the smile that was originally on the corner of his mouth also disappeared now.

Napa noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Airl thought about it again, and then nodded after confirming that there should be no problem with his thinking, and said: "Since the attack method of the tentacle monster is not aimed at the Corpse Eater King, then there are only two possibilities."

"One, under the huge mouth of the abyss, there is a passage leading to other human gathering areas. In this way, it can explain the source of the human corpses found in the pit before. And because it is to attack humans, so Tentacle monsters have the power to prohibit humans from making a sound."

"And the second point..."

"It is under this tentacled monster, where it overlaps with its chassis, there is a more powerful existence. And this existence belongs to the existence that can make sound or language, and rely on this ability to generate powerful power. It is to deal with this more terrifying existence, so the Tentacle Warcraft will evolve the power of silence."

Napa's ears perked up all of a sudden, as if she was very surprised.The cat leaned a little towards the front of the hat: "Hey, why are you so sure that that existence will be stronger? Couldn't it be the prey of this tentacled monster?"

Airl smiled wryly, and said: "If the thing that exists deeper in the mouth of the abyss happens to be the prey of this tentacled beast, how could it possibly come up to it? We found that its location is not far from the entrance of the mouth of the abyss and Not far, that is to say, it has been climbing up for a long time. If it is really the sudden increase in prey, how could it climb up? It should move deeper. Thinking about it this way, only the existence that suddenly changed If it becomes stronger, or the number suddenly becomes larger, it is enough to squeeze the living space of this tentacle monster, and then it is forced to climb up." "Although I don't know about tentacle monsters, but a creature must survive. It will not depart from the most basic behavioral logic. For monsters without the concept of material exchange, their economic interests should be the amount of food and the threat of not being threatened by natural enemies. There are two reactions when their own economic interests are damaged. One is to snatch it back, and the other is to stop the loss and retreat in time to prevent greater damage. Therefore, from an economic point of view, I prefer the second possibility that the banning effect of Tentacle Warcraft comes from. "

After hearing Airl's analysis, Napa could only say that she was not convinced.

But analysis alone is not enough, there must be a solution.

"So Ariel, next time I'm in the mine, I'll be with you..."

Before Napa could finish speaking, Ariel continued to touch the cat's fur and said with a smile, "You forgot? The vice president will continue to be stationed at the guild's headquarters."

Although she said so many times, Napa couldn't help sighing when she saw that she still didn't get the consent of her peers: "Then do you have a way to deal with this monster?"

Airl curled his lips: "A way...but I can't say it. But I already have a little understanding of the attack method of this thing. Maybe it can solve our problem."

Napa: "Attack method?"

Airl: "It will first wrap its tentacles around its target, and then look into the target's eyes with its eyes to make it faint. And I found that when Dacron turned its head away from it, its movements suddenly changed. Roughly, it turned into a direct attack. And from the beginning before we lit the torch, this monster didn't seem to notice us. In other words, this monster is different from blind people like corpse eaters who don't need light at all. Light. And after you can't see the target's eyes, you won't bind the tentacles, but just hit people."

Napa thought for a while: "Well...it is indeed possible to analyze it in this way, but what can it explain?"

Arrow: "Prove that you can't look at him when fighting it, and try not to expose the light, and attack in the dark."

Hearing this, Napa was so funny and annoyed, she shook her head and said, "It's just nonsense! I'll let it go, you humans can't see the target when you attack the target, and you don't want light? Do you think your guild has such Is it a good configuration?"

Arrow just smiled at this.Although it is not possible to say that there is a special lineup for targeting, but if you think about it carefully, there may be a way... But the biggest problem at present is not the tentacle monster, but the possibly more terrifying existence below the tentacle monster.

Seeing that Ai Luo didn't speak, Napa shook her tail listlessly and said, "I haven't thought about how to deal with the tentacle monster yet, but a more powerful thing appeared in a deeper place... Ariel, I think this gold mine is more powerful. It's getting more and more evil. Are you sure you want to continue exploring?"

In fact, there is no need for Napa to say, Ai Luo has been thinking about this matter for the past two days.

Originally, I encountered a corpse eater when I was not strong enough, but I couldn't kill it smoothly and bring back one or two gold nuggets.When the strength could handle it, it was discovered that not every one of these corpse eaters had a gold heart.And now that the more you explore the gold mine, the more you can perceive the dangers in it. Is it worthwhile to continue to explore the gold mine?

But if he gave up exploring the gold mines, how could he earn a thousand gold coins within three years?

In addition...

By now, Airl was beginning to doubt the reliability of his source of information about this gold mine.

Such a dangerous gold mine is obviously not a place that ordinary adventurers can step into casually.

But under such circumstances, when he first heard the news about the gold mine, the messenger didn't seem so flustered.That person looked like an ordinary farmer, he didn't have any strong combat power, and there shouldn't be any powerful forces behind him.

But in this case, how did this person know about the gold mine?

How did he safely dig out that piece of gold as a sample from the chests of those powerful and terrifying corpse eaters, and dedicate it to His Majesty?

The more I thought about the answer, the more Illu began to feel his head hurting.
