Gold is Justice

In Ariel's impression, Round Cheese was not a person who had the guts to disobey the emperor's orders.It can only be said that he just did what an ordinary person can do.So, Ariel was not surprised by this.

"Well, I see. Then?"

Margot nodded, and continued: "Then, we went to find the herald to argue. But those bastards from the Holy See and the association immediately stood by the herald, expressing their support for the royal order. But... also I don’t know if it’s retribution, but their method of making things worse didn’t last long.”

Ariel tilted her head slightly: "So, what happened later?"

Margot smiled and said, "About a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor issued a third order. But this time, the order issued directly changed the faces of the Holy See and the Association."

Ariel pinched her nose slightly, and said, "It's that... about the elemental machine, right? I heard about it on the way back. Tesla, you should be more clear about this matter, right? It's convenient Tell me?"

Tesla, who had been standing by the side without saying a word, walked forward slowly. After looking at the face of his president, the assembler's eyes suddenly showed frustration and pessimism. .

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and with a bang, tears gushed out of his eyes.

"President... woo... President! All the elemental machines... all the design drawings of the elemental machines... were taken away! Everything... everything... was taken away! "

At first, Ariel thought it was as simple as being ordered to stop work.But I didn't expect that all the design drawings of the royal family would be snatched away in one go? !

Tesla cried with tears and snot in his nose: "A month ago... someone came to deliver the order again! And that time... it turned out...it was the former president of Light of Heaven... Paladin Guangzhong The Baron Guang personally came with the heavy cavalry!"

Hearing his father's name, Dak's body couldn't help being shocked.Seeing the change of color on Dak's face, the sweet wine cheese next to him instinctively showed a gloating expression, with a vindictive smile all over his face.

But when she saw Dak turned around, the panic on his face didn't decrease in the slightest, and gradually, the vengeful smile on the eldest princess's face also gradually decreased, revealing a trace of worry .

"They conveyed the order of His Majesty the Emperor... saying that all the elemental machines in the entire Blue Bay Empire are now owned by the royal family... and also asked all the technicians and designers to go to the capital to manufacture elemental machines for the royal family! If you dare not Those who... or those who have made elemental machines or elemental machine products in private... will be... put to death..."

When the word "execution" was mentioned, Ariel noticed an obvious change in Tesla's tone.Her heart tightened, and she immediately asked, "And then? Did you have any conflicts? Besides Cheese was injured...are there any other injured people?"

Tesla wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth, and said, "We...Of course we don't want to listen to... Not only our mermaid song, but most people in this city rely on the production capacity of the element machine Life. All the elemental machines were abolished at once... It is equivalent to losing almost half of the population of the entire city. So... Our workers jumped up immediately after hearing Baron Guangzhong's request , expressing refusal..."

Ariel's heart suddenly twitched.

"But... the baron attacked our workers at this time, causing two workers to die on the spot. He said yes... as a punishment."

Not only Ariel, Duck's face over there also suddenly turned ashen, pursed his lips, and fell silent.

After a while, Ariel lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "Then... what?"

Tesla shook his head lightly: "Then...Mr. Cheese couldn't stand it anymore, and it was already evening at that time, and it was time for his strength to improve, so he rushed up. But he didn't expect ……did not think of……"

Mochi: "How is it? Master Cheese has suffered such a serious injury, who can hurt him?!"

Margo glanced at Mochi, and said slowly: "Few people can face Cheese single-handedly. However, they have studied our guild quite thoroughly. As soon as Cheese jumped out, ten priests immediately Surround him and release the magic of the Holy Light on him together. So..."

At that moment, Mochi's hands turned into sharp claws, and the ruby ​​pupils that looked warm at first seemed to show signs of blood.She opened her mouth to reveal her sharp teeth, and her entire face looked fierce, and she said, "Despicable humans...! How dare they use this method to treat our Night Clan?! Where are my clansmen? My clansmen People must have killed them all at once, right?!"

Margo put one hand on her hip, sighed, and said slowly: "Your clansmen are indeed very bloody, and Cheese did jump out several times after being seriously injured. But it is obvious that the baron is worthy of being a former prince of heaven. The leader of the Light Guild, all the countermeasures are in place. After injuring the cheese, they immediately moved out several huge light magic balls, illuminating the whole place like daytime."

"This is not just a pure ball of light, but it contains holy light magic power. Under the light of such a light magic ball, although your clansmen will not be paralyzed immediately, it will also reduce a lot of power .”

Mochi got a little anxious, and waved his paws: "Such powerful magic power cannot last for too long! My clansmen will definitely be able to tear them apart!"

Seeing that Mochi is in such a hurry now, Margot let out a little breath and turned to the pasta next to her.

Seeing that the matter could not be avoided, the paladin could only say: "I told your clansmen to calm down and not attack."

Mochi suddenly turned his head away, and his pointed ears pricked up when he saw the paladin: "Why do you prevent my people from taking revenge?!"

Suta said seriously: "Because your vampires are only invincible at night. Unless you want to return to the previous life of being hunted down by humans anytime and anywhere, otherwise you will rush to the army at that time. court death."

Perhaps it was because Suta's voice was still very soft after all.Mochi's originally cracked teeth and claws were slowly retracted.

After thinking about it, she immediately said to Ariel, "I'm going to see my mother."

After getting Ariel's consent, the little blood race immediately left the guild and ran out.

After Mochi left, Ariel continued: "So, after that time, Cheese was injured... Has it been hurt until now?"

Tesla sighed, and said, "Yeah...the other party seems to have stabbed Mr. Cheese with a very terrifying bright weapon. It has improved a little in the past two days, but it has not yet returned to its peak state."

"Then... let me continue."

"After that conflict, the cheese was injured, two of our workers died, and everyone suddenly became scared. And that night, the baron obviously didn't expect that we would actually dare to resist, looking at the members of other blood clans Right next to him, he led the troops to retreat after saying a harsh word."

"It's just that three days later, they deliberately picked a broad daylight to enter Pelican City, shut down all the factories in the city, and ordered them not to start work. They also sent people to our guild to snatch all the blueprints of the design drawings, and sent People sent to the capital..."

"Well, in this conflict, if the only thing to be thankful for is that not long after, the two groups of people from the Holy See and the Association seem to have received some orders, and hurriedly returned from the Pelican The city left, and I don’t know where it went.”

After hearing the outline of the matter, Ariel pinched her chin and pondered for a moment, then said——

"They should have asked you to leave for the capital, right? How many people have left?"

The first thousand 370 chapter two loss-making business

Tesla responded: "It has only been less than a month since the incident happened. Everyone panicked. All kinds of rumors arose all of a sudden, saying that you, the president, have also died in the Hunter Empire."

"However, it's also thanks to everyone... everyone cheered together and continued to appease the citizens. In addition, our guild's capital chain has not been broken yet, and it can still support this kind of consumption, so in general, people who leave Not much. But to be honest, if you come back a month later... I really can't imagine what it will be like."

Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of these left-behind guild members, Ariel also knew that she should indeed set an example.At that moment, she nodded lightly and said, "Since then, have the baron's heavy cavalry regiment come here again? Or, have they finished their work and returned?"

Hearing this question, the left-behind guild members turned their gazes to Brad who was silent over there.No, more precisely, it should be looking at Buffy on Brad's shoulder.

Buffy looked at Brad, then coughed lightly, and said: "My sisters have investigated, and the heavy cavalry regiments have not left, but are stationed in Tianhe City. As the lord of Tianhe City, Nuo Rhys Paxas must have already surrendered."

Ariel thought for a while and said, "In other words, are they planning to find the right time to come and provoke us again? Well... It is conceivable that in this border province, Baron Guang's heavy cavalry is almost synonymous with invincibility. If they don’t come to harass at night, they can go wherever they want during the day.”

Cream on the side gritted his teeth, and snorted, "It's really free! Now there are so many peasants in the entire empire who are becoming bandits because they don't have enough to eat. They don't go to suppress the bandits, but come to suppress them. We won't let it go! Hmph!"

As soon as the words fell, Cream suddenly realized Duck with a livid face next to him, and wanted to apologize for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong, so after scratching the back of his head, he simply stopped talking.

Ariel turned to Tesla over there: "Have all the elemental machines been destroyed? Are there any available?"

Tesla sighed, and said: "Although they didn't say that all were destroyed, we have been ordered to suspend work... They seem to plan to transport all the machines back to the capital, so they will come here every now and then to take away one or two machines .The elemental vehicles we produced with great difficulty have already been towed away..."

Ariel continued to ask: "Then what about the design drawings? Even if the design drawings were robbed, it's just the design drawings, right?"

In this regard, Tesla nodded: "The design drawings that were stolen are nothing to do, most of them have copies on my side. It's just... President, our Mermaid Song has been ordered to shut down now, your The position of mayor has also been replaced, and the factories have been forcibly shut down. Even if everything can be restored... But once it is restored, it will be a felony of beheading against the king's order! Even if you are the prince's mistress... such a joke Can't open it either?"

"Mistress? Hehe... yes... I almost forgot, I am still the mistress of the royal family of the Blue Bay Empire... hehehe..."

For a moment, Ariel didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.She tilted her head and glanced at the rum cheese sitting on the sofa over there.

As soon as the eldest princess met Ariel's eyes, she couldn't help shivering, and turned her head away.

"My mistress...is really 'relaxed'! But, I have even tied up the eldest princess, capital crime? I have committed it a long time ago, haven't I?"

Sweet Wine Cheese was trembling all over, and immediately said: "You let me go now! I promise to spare you!"

"The Blue Bay royal family never thought about where the root of the problem is... and they don't even know what to do is the right thing to do!"

Ariel raised her hand, slapped it heavily on the table, gritted her teeth tightly, and said slowly—"I tried my best to sign a peace treaty with the Hunting Seat Empire, and tried my best to mediate, without damaging the Blue Bay Empire as much as possible." Under the power of the suzerain, he opened up trade routes and laid the foundation for peace...but he was so good that he sold me backhand?"

"Hehehe...the royal family...the royal family! This royal family is really 'respected' and 'great'."

Apparently, even Rummy was now beginning to sense that something wasn't quite right with the "prince's mistress".Although the other party had clearly yelled such "rebellious" words, Tianjiuche didn't have the guts to contradict her!

Although, almost all the guild members in the surrounding area are now showing expressions of surprise and panic at the words of the former president.

And for Ariel, these vents... are really just vents.

When she raised her head and saw the panicked expressions on the faces of the guild members around her, she knew that she had lost her composure.

At that moment, she rubbed her temples slightly, exhaled slowly, and said, "At least I now understand the situation our guild is in... Ke Ke, where are the guild's account books? Show me them." .”

Seeing that Ariel's expression gradually returned to normal, Ke Ke finally nodded, went to the counter to fetch the account book, and put it on the coffee table in front of Ariel.

Ariel opened the account book, and after only a cursory glance, her brows, which seemed a little relaxed at first, involuntarily frowned again.

She remembered very clearly that when she left Pelican City, Song of the Mermaid still had 8995 gold on her account.

But now, looking at the situation on the account books, the remaining funds of the entire Song of the Mermaid are not even a hundred gold?

"How is this going?"

Ariel kept herself as calm as possible, with a calm expression on her face, as if she was asking what to eat tonight, she didn't seem to be moved at all.

Ke Ke shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue a little, and said, "Sister President, you...you won't be angry, right? We made things...so bad..."

Ariel raised her head, suppressing the anger in her heart, but still kept a smile on her face: "How could it be? I really want to know what's going on. Only after I know the specific reason can I deal with it properly." There's a problem here."

Seeing Ariel's gentle expression now, Keke finally felt relieved, and said, "Actually...it's like this. At the end of last year, I complied with your guild's deficit and debt obligations at the end of last year. There was a cleanup."

"Among them, George Peanutton and Eddie Invincible withdrew their deposits in one go in accordance with the contract. After that, there are other debts..."

"Wait a minute." Ariel cut off suddenly, "I expected that the Holy See and the Guild would take the money back. But I should have said that we should try to let them continue to invest money in our guild, right?" ?”

Coco's words were suddenly interrupted, which made the death mage panic.She held her breath and looked at Ariel, and after confirming that the expression on the elder sister's face didn't mean to blame, she exhaled and continued to say——

"Yes, we also tried hard to get them to continue to invest money at that time. But just at that time, the emperor's order came..."

Margo next to her shook her head, and continued: "To be more precise, it was after the royal family's order came that those associations and the Holy See wanted to withdraw all the money in one go. Afterwards, since we The guild was already considered an illegal organization at that time, how could they continue to throw money at us?"

Although this explanation made some sense, Ariel was not very satisfied.

An order came from the emperor, and all of you are sighing here and don't want to make money?Do you know how people die?At least in this Blue Bay Empire, countless people die every day because of royal orders.She, Ariel, didn't want to be next.

"continue."

Under Ariel's seemingly plain words, Ke Ke nodded and continued to say——

"Then, according to the intention of the president's sister, we repaid the money we owed last year to those who lent us the money. Of course, a large part of the interest was attached. Originally, the money was returned. At that time, we also thought about whether we should ask them to continue to borrow money, but..."

Having said that, Coco glanced at Brad next to him.Ariel turned to the shield warrior, her eyes were obviously asking.

Brad scratched his head with a naive smile on his face.But after such a naive smile, he lowered his head again, and put on an appearance of admitting his mistake to Ariel: "I'm sorry... President, I was wrong."

Ariel: "What did you do?"

Brad looked very frustrated: "The city we went to pay back the money... that is, the city of Bujuan. When Buffy and I arrived, that city was already under martial law..."

This news was somewhat beyond Ariel's expectations: "Martial law?"

Brad nodded lightly and said: "Yes, I heard later that Bujuan City itself is not a city suitable for farming. So it mainly focuses on raising silkworms and weaving silk threads. But in the past two years In the past two years, the rain in the entire Blue Bay Empire has become scarce, the drought has increased, and there is no food everywhere. But at this time, throughout last year, the lord of Bujuan City spent a lot of food and gold for his own selfish desires. The silver treasures are all gathered in their own treasury, and then bloody suppression is used to prevent those peasants from rioting."

"When I arrived, I could hardly enter the city. The lord was very polite to me when he heard that I was the Song of the Mermaid who came to pay back the money. He asked all the farmers to collect the debts and gave them to me, and then Let me give him the money."

Ariel was taken aback for a moment: "You did it?"

Brad shook his head immediately and said: "No, President. Although I am a bit stupid, I have been with the President for so many years, and I still know who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted. At that time, I didn't I know why, anyway, I just feel that I can’t just hand over the money to him directly, so I demand that the money must be returned to those farmers.”
