Gold is Justice

Ariel tilted her head, not knowing what this man wanted to say all of a sudden.

Dak exhaled, and said: "If at the beginning... I wanted to join the Song of the Mermaid to avoid my father, then now... I really want to join the Song of the Mermaid for myself from the bottom of my heart. Happy to decide. I'm happy... I was able to learn something here that I've never learned before. There are people, things, and wills in this guild... Let me experience the extraordinary. I'm real Really... Thank you very much for allowing me to stay in the Mermaid Song Guild."

Why do these words sound a bit strange?

Ariel couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in her heart, but she still said with a forced smile on her face, "What's wrong with you? Why do you make it sound like you're about to say goodbye?"

Dak sighed, and really said: "I can't say goodbye, I can only say... President, I am really happy to stay in Song of the Mermaid during this period of time. But in the future, we may use another How about a way to meet you?"

The smile on Ariel's face has been completely put away, and she said seriously: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Finally, after a long time of fidgeting, Dak nodded slightly, and said, "Pork came over, besides asking me for answers about some private matters... he also brought me some news."

"First of all... During the period of time we went to the Hunting Seat Empire, His Majesty, Emperor Belan XIII has announced that all adventurer guilds in the entire Blue Bay Empire will be revoked. From now on, any Adventurers' guilds that take on missions without permission will be judged illegal. Among them... unfortunately, our mermaid song is the first of the first batch of guilds announced by His Majesty to disband. And, to disband the guild The order is still made in your name, President, and it is issued to Pelican City."

At that moment, Ariel felt that her heart was slammed.

Although she had known for a long time that this matter would definitely come, and it would definitely not be too far away... The present His Majesty has already told her many times in person.Even before the departure of the envoy this time, Meng Lang exempted Song of the Mermaid from all the taxes of the previous year. From then on, Ariel could already feel what this should represent...

But after hearing the news, Ariel still felt a sense of loss that she had never felt before.It was a feeling of exhaustion where the whole person was drained instantly, the ground was empty, and even a little unsteady.

"President?"

After Duck saw Ariel staggering, he asked a worried question.

Ariel waved her hand and said, "It's okay... We have been mentally prepared for this kind of thing, but... well, it turns out that I am far less mentally strong than I imagined. Then... there is only this Is that kind of thing? If it’s just that, then it’s fine..."

After adjusting her breathing a bit, Ariel put her hands on her hips and continued: "Although the Song of the Mermaid guild is gone, I am still the mayor of Pelican City. In the civil service system of Pelican City. All future work will be done in the name of the Pelican City government department, which is fine."

Although Ariel said it very lightly, when she spoke, she saw that there was no relaxed gesture on Duck's face at all.

At this point, Ariel began to realize that things might not be as easy as she imagined...

"President... In addition to the complete abolition of the guild, His Majesty the Emperor has issued two other orders."

"One is to require all members of the original adventurer's guild, whether permanent or temporary, to arrive in the capital before the middle of this year and accept a unified army reorganization. Only after the army reorganization, those Only adventurers can continue to exist."

Ariel froze for a moment, she thought of something, but said in a somewhat unconfirmed manner: "It is only possible to continue to exist? What does this mean?"

Dak: "I also asked Polk, and he said... Maybe it means that if you don't accept the adaptation and register, then these adventurers will not be allowed to carry weapons, buy magic potions, equip armor, carry magic equipment, etc. Right... At that time, there will definitely be a (harmonious) platform to restrict the purchase of equipment and props for non-registered adventurers. And if the adventurers lose the logistical supplies such as equipment and props, then it will be impossible Still have the ability to participate in adventures, let alone be the opponent of the regular regular army..."

Although, Ariel is very reluctant to believe such a fact.

But the facts were in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but not believe it.

That emperor... this time for real!He wanted to completely change the status quo that there were too many adventurer guilds in the entire Blue Bay Empire, which prevented the royal power from being fully extended to various regions, so he really decided to do it.

Although, the most important thing to regain military power should be to target those nobles and lords, but the landlords and lords in the Blue Bay Empire are too powerful, so do you plan to start with the Adventurer's Guild that can be manipulated at will?

"As for the end, President."

"Is there any more?!" Ariel suddenly raised her head and looked at Duck in front of her, with a little irritability already appearing in her eyes.But soon, she realized her gaffe, shook her head, and said, "What else? Tell me."

Dak exhaled slightly, and said slowly——

"One more thing... His Majesty issued an order, announcing that from now on, all elemental machines can only be designed, manufactured, and produced by the imperial government. Any place other than this can be done privately without the permission of the imperial official center. Production is tantamount to a crime, and it is bound to be sanctioned by the laws of the empire."

At this moment, Ariel finally couldn't bear it anymore!She clenched her fist and threw a punch in the air, then squeezed her fist and hugged it tightly to her chest.

Of course, Darke could also see the anger in the president's eyes, and he didn't dare to speak now, so he could only stand here silently, allowing himself to fall into silence.

As a member of Song of the Mermaid, Duck certainly knew what the Song of the Mermaid would look like after the promulgation of these three laws.

From now on, Song of the Mermaid should disappear, right?Not only the Mermaid Song, but even the legend about the Mermaid Song Guild in Pelican City, as well as the design of those elemental machines, everything... should fall into silence at this moment, and will never exist again.

But what can I do?

That's imperial power... It's an order issued by the supreme imperial power of the Blue Bay Empire!

Within the territory of the empire, the emperor's order... is without a doubt absolute!

unless……

"I know what to do."

Just when Dak was feeling dejected, suddenly, Ariel snapped her fingers as if suddenly enlightened, and her eyes that seemed very hesitant just now became very firm.

At that moment, Ariel turned her head to Duck and said, "Go and call everyone over, and then let everyone start packing up. Don't talk about the specifics. After the packing is almost done, everyone will go and get the few people from the mission and that The leader of the soldiers called over, I have something to say to them."

Dak was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what the "former president" wanted to do for a while.

Ariel didn't give Duck time to hesitate, and after leaving the order, she went straight to the woodshed, just in time to see the music stopped inside, and although Sweet Wine Cheese was tied up, she had already fallen asleep peacefully.

At that moment, Ariel nodded and said to Egg, "Pick her up and throw her into our carriage."

Yi Ge also showed a confused expression: "In the carriage?"

Ariel: "Don't talk nonsense, just do it. Pack your things when you're done, as soon as possible!"

After a brief explanation, Ariel turned and left, and immediately went to her room to clean up.Soon, all the members of Song of the Fish had packed up and stood in front of Ariel, showing puzzled expressions.

"Mochi, jelly, you two get out of the car, don't need to say anything, immediately drive towards Pelican City with the rum cheese. Then don't ask why, and don't hesitate about my order. Now We are running out of time, I don't have time to explain to you one by one, please do these things as soon as possible."

Chapter 370 Return to Pelican City

Jelly was a little shocked, but Mochi nodded lightly and got on the carriage. After flicking the whip a little, the carriage turned around and drove out of the village.

After seeing the carriage leave, Ariel exhaled a little, turned and walked over there, the members of the envoys and the leader of the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, looked at them, took a deep breath, and said——

"Everyone, go back to Hanhai City first. Because of some things, I will accompany the members of Mermaid Song to Pelican City first."

The leader of the soldiers first showed a surprised expression, and stepped forward to ask: "His Royal Highness, you...don't go back to Hanhai City with us? Are you going to Pelican City? Why? You should return to Hanhai City as soon as possible. We're here to pick you up."

Ariel shook her head and said: "I still have a very important task to do, and the content of this task is in Pelican City. Therefore, I have to go to Pelican City once. Then that's it, I will leave first gone."

Seeing that the "princess princess" was about to leave without saying a word, not only the soldier leader panicked, but also the members of the envoys over there panicked, and quickly started shouting.

A member of the mission raised his hand and said in horror: "You won't go back? But if you don't go back... what will happen? There are... so many complicated things...!"

Ariel knew what this member of the envoy was worried about, and immediately said: "Please respect my choice, and please believe me, this is the best result for me. I will work with the members of Mermaid Song Leave, so that I can temporarily protect them. Moreover, Brother Huang really explained some things to me, the "eldest princess", and these things really need to go to Pelican City to solve them. About this envoy I believe that you will be able to describe and present everything in the regiment in detail, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t participate.”

"As for when I'll be back..."

After Ariel paused for a moment, she continued—

"I will definitely come back after my mission is completed. It will only take a month or two at most, and I will definitely return to Hanhai City before this summer. Please don't worry about this."

Seeing Ariel's swearing appearance now, the members of the mission group looked at me one after another, feeling a little puzzled for a while.

Of course they can understand that the mayor of Pelican City wants to get rid of such troubles immediately and run away, but it's too irresponsible to throw all the troubles at them all at once, right?

If we can go back to Hanhai City together and explain to His Majesty, then the job of explaining will not have to fall on their shoulders...

"But……"

A member of the envoy glanced at the leader of the soldiers over there, and seemed a little unspeakable.

Ariel would never let this person say everything, but immediately used her identity as the "eldest princess" to say to the soldier leader over there——

"Sir, I hope you can give me a few soldiers so that I can escort me all the way back to Pelican City. Because the situation is urgent, I hope to set off immediately. Is it possible?"

Although judging from the tone of voice, it was a request, but under the blessing of the title of "Eldest Princess", it was basically an order.

Although the soldier leader didn't know why the "His Royal Highness" was in such a hurry to leave, as a subordinate, he didn't have the qualifications to ask so many questions.Immediately, he immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he immediately selected a few capable officers of his own and arranged them on Ariel's side.

After getting someone, Ariel smiled slightly, then turned around, got into another carriage accompanied by Duck and Yigo, and waved to the crowd accompanied by those soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the current darkness, he turned and left, heading towards Pelican City.

----

The author has something to say: I found a good website, all serialized here: LANWENS.COM

Crossing mountains and flowing water, crossing bridges, and crossing lakes, the mission of this envoy is now finally over.

Ariel was not in the mood to care about what the envoys were thinking, nor was she in the mood to care about how the soldier leader would react after knowing all this.

Will you catch up?

maybe.

It was precisely to prevent the other party from catching up, she deliberately arranged for Song of the Mermaid to move forward in two carriages.After passing through a town and letting the trailing soldiers leave in the name of shopping, he drove the carriage and completely abandoned them.Afterwards, they rushed to meet up with the jelly, mochi, and rum cheese carriages that had been moving before, and arranged some wrong paths to confuse possible pursuers in the rear.

Is this kind of suspicion useful?

Ariel didn't know.

But after leaving the village for about ten days and not seeing the pursuers catching up again, Ariel felt that she could relax a little.At least, this means that he will not be completely overtaken in a short time.

Looking into the distance, the distance to Pelican City is getting closer and closer.

Ariel's heart also gradually became uneasy as she got closer and closer to Pelican City.

She knew exactly what she was doing...but it was precisely because she knew what she was doing that the uneasiness grew day by day.

Kidnapping members of the royal family...disobeying orders and leaving... Based on these two points alone, the Blue Bay royal family definitely has a reason to list themselves as rebels, right?

Hehe... I really didn't expect that I would really become a rebel?The mistress of the current Prince Chao of the dignified Blue Bay Empire, the noble Mr. Viscount Garcia, is now directly rebelling?Is there anything funnier in the world than this?

Ariel shook her head, trying not to think about it.

She held her chest and took a breath, reached out and waved to another carriage that was also galloping beside her, and shouted: "Her condition! How is it?!"

Egg, who was driving, didn't reply, just holding the reins.A moment later, the curtains on the window were pulled open, revealing a jelly face from inside. He nodded towards Ariel and said, "His Royal Highness...she...she is still very angry! President, we...we What's next? Can't we really untie her first?"

Ariel said very seriously: "It is not allowed to untie her. At least, it is absolutely not allowed before arriving at Pelican City! Did you hear that?"

Jelly nodded silently, not daring to speak anymore.

This situation continued, and the two carriages galloped on this seemingly wide road, galloping quickly towards the base in the mayor's heart.

She had to go back to her town one step at a time before the news was delivered... she had to go back to her "den" one step at a time before everything got worse!

then……

In the early spring of March in 1305 in the Golden Continent, the president of Mermaid Song finally returned to her original place.After bypassing the shining forest ahead, the city walls of Pelican City had appeared in front of her eyes.

——1305年3月2日，使节团任务：公费，结余：8995金3银3铁（负债：？？？）[城镇发展度：？？]——

Looking at Pelican City from a distance, Ariel noticed a slight change in the town in front of her.

Originally, Pelican City was developed from a peaceful small border town, and there were no specific threats in the process of becoming a city, so the entire city was considered open.
