Gold is Justice

The boss rushed over immediately after seeing Ai Luo, and shouted angrily: "Blonde brother? Did you see a thief?! There is a thief! I was stolen! Did you see any strange people appearing?" ?!"

Maybe it was really too anxious, the boss didn't notice Brad and Napa next to Airl until after the yelling, and Buffy quickly got into Brad's pocket.

"Forehead?"

Obviously, Brad and Napa are very suitable for the "strange people" in the boss's mouth.

Seeing this, Ai Luo quickly introduced with a smile: "Brad, Napa, this is the person who sold the house to me, and the mayor of Pelican Town—Mr. Welsh Round Cheese. Boss, These are members of our guild, newly recruited recently. I can absolutely guarantee their character."

Round Cheese looked up and down Brad and Napa, looking suspicious.Seeing this, Ai Luo took the initiative to say again: "Boss, you just said that you were robbed? What's the matter? If there is any need, our Mermaid Song Association will serve you wholeheartedly! You only need to spend a little money to be able to Solve the current trouble!"

Finally, the mayor of Round Cheese looked at Airl and said, "I heard from that fellow Mai Yi that you helped them destroy the slimes? Are you sure those slimes don't look like humans?"

Airl's heart tightened slightly, but the smile on his face still remained: "How did you say that?"

The mayor adjusted his breathing, and the air blown out of his nose made his two beards tremble up and down: "Last night, I went to the Unicorn Bar for a drink, and I heard from that guy Mai Yi that you wiped out the slime! I I thought that the monsters that harassed our town recently were slimes, and I thought it would be good, and I can sleep well in the future! But I didn’t expect that the cheese pie I just made this morning was going to be taken out today It’s for sale, but I just didn’t pay attention, and I saw a shadow snatch the pie I put on the windowsill and run away!”

Thieves incident?

A cheese pie isn't worth much, but if it's a repeat offender, the bounty may be higher.Now that Arrow has Brad and Buffy as bodyguards, he doesn't have to worry too much about his personal safety when facing thieves.

Airl put on a very serious expression, and listened to the mayor's description of the difficulty of this task very sincerely.After he had said almost everything, Airl nodded, put on a smiling face again, and said, "Boss, I understand the matter. And well... I also have a little idea about this monster."

Round Cheese immediately swung the pitchfork in his hand: "Where is he?! I want to kill that bastard!"

Ai Luo laughed, waved his hands quickly and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, boss. Do you have any experience fighting monsters? Do you know who the other party is? Do you know what methods are needed to face this kind of thief?  … …Hehe, let professional people do the professional work, and you just wait in your bakery, making bread and cakes and waiting for us to complete the task and come to your door, or just do it.”

With Airl's words, a happy smile appeared on Round Cheese's face.He put away the pitchfork and looked at Arrow with a look of trust.

"Then, let's talk about the entrustment fee now."

"What? Want money?"

Money is really a great way to manipulate people's facial expressions.

Airl coughed on purpose, and said with a smile: "Boss, you also run a bakery, so you should also know that our guild is also a kind of business place. If you have tasks, we will complete them. For a small fee, all that trouble can be wiped away! I think this is a very good deal."

Round Cheese looked at Airl, that chubby face seemed to wonder whether Airl was talking empty words to play him anytime and anywhere.After hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth: "Are you sure you know what that thief is? Let me tell you, even I only saw a shadow."

Arrow didn't speak, just smiled back.

"Okay! Brother blond, how much is it?"

Airl shrugged his shoulders: "May I ask how much damage this thief has caused so far?"

Round Cheese rolled his eyeballs and said, "I have stolen a lot of pies from me these days, some herbs from the item shop, and some pots and pans from the iron shop, but the most stolen ones are Food. There is still enough to add up to at least one silver coin."

Airl was not polite, clapped his hands and said, "In this case, the entrustment fee is only one gold coin. I don't think the price should be expensive, right?"

"A gold coin?!"

Round Cheese's eyeballs almost popped out of that chubby head.

This price was not only for the mayor, but also Napa and Brad behind him were all startled!

"Blonde brother, are you kidding me? A gold coin? I only earn four or five gold coins a year, and you just want me a gold coin?!"

Airl continued to maintain that smiling expression: "The other party is a thief. This is not as good as a slime who has no wisdom. We are risking our lives here. Boss, think about it, if you don't catch it as soon as possible According to this guy, the loss may be more than one gold coin! Come to me after the loss expands, won't your loss expand even more?"

Even with what Airl said was hype, the price was still too high.

The mayor of Round Cheese didn't think much at all, looked at Airl with a very wary look, and raised the pitchfork in his hand: "Are you crazy about money? A gold coin? Our town invites people to take this It doesn't take that much money to catch the thief! Besides, I don't know what the Adventurer's Guild is. Is it necessary to spend a gold coin for your help?"

After finishing speaking, the mayor left without looking back, holding the pitchfork in his hands.Ai Luo also had a big heart, and waved goodbye behind him, without the slightest sense of frustration after a business deal collapsed on his face.

When the mayor disappeared from sight, Airl withdrew his hand and turned his head.

"Hey, didn't you earn less than 5 copper coins for the first mission, so you started going crazy? Want a gold coin in one go?"

Napa's doubts are quite representative, and Brad is also looking at Airl with a confused face.

Airl still had a smile on his lips, and he greeted Brad and Buffy to finish posting the rest of the advertisements, and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, I don't want to take this task at all. At least, not now. "Looking at the sky, Airl rubbed his hands, and continued——

"I originally thought that the monster in the town was the slime, but now it seems that a thief appeared in Pelican Town earlier than the slime. Let's go back and rest now, and come out at night to take a look."

Brad rubbed the back of his head: "Well... President, what are you going to watch at night?"

Ai Luo laughed and said: "Since the mayor is so angry, it is conceivable that he will not allow this thief to continue his rampage. The townspeople in Pelican Town may take action tonight, take a good rest, and we will join in tonight action."

Chapter 7 Undead Soldiers

There was no commission for the day, after dinner, Arrow, who was well rested, led Brad, Buffy and Napa to leave the guild again.

From a long distance, you can hear the shouts from the square in Pelican Town.

Walking into the square, you can see dozens of young and middle-aged men holding pitchforks and torches gathered there, and the mayor, Round Cheese, is standing in the center of the square.Apparently, the mayor had proposed this rally.

When Ai Luo saw Xiao Liquor, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.The bar owner nodded slightly, then looked in the direction of the mayor and stopped talking.

"I'm sure you all know! Many strangers have come to Pelican Town recently! Some of them are welcomed by us, and we hope they can join the big family of our town! It’s better to be greedy and ruin your popularity!”

While saying this, the mayor of Round Cheese glanced at Airl.However, there were not many newcomers in the town, and the other townspeople turned their heads to look at Ai Luo, their eyes full of doubts.

"But there are others that we absolutely don't welcome. They are thieves! They are robbers! They are monsters that harass our lives! This vicious thief has stolen many things from our townspeople one after another, and he thinks we will continue to tolerate him Bold! But, he was wrong! Today, we will catch this guy, hang him on a tree branch, and let him accept the end of being a thief!"

With the mayor's yelling, everyone who had been staring at Song of the Mermaid immediately turned their heads, raised their arms high and cheered.They raised their pitchforks one after another, as if preparing to fight someone.

Watching the team start to walk towards the west street under the leadership of the mayor, Airl put his hands on his hips and said with a soft smile, "Is this catching a thief, or fighting? Can you catch it?"

Having said that, Arrow's plans made it imperative for him to follow the team.

The little spirit who was traveling with him was empty-handed, and he didn't seem to be carrying any weapons or props.Dressed as a bartender, he didn't look like he was catching thieves, but more like he was going to work in a bar.The tavern owner walked behind the line, side by side with Ai Luo, and opened his mouth leisurely: "There are few people in the town, and this kind of thing is all about helping each other. If there are any problems, everyone will habitually act together."

Following behind everyone, Little Liquor glanced at Airl beside him, and said coldly: "So, I advise you. There is really no future in this small town as an adventurer's guild. Slime can only be said to be accidental." Let you receive the list, but more often it is like this, the townspeople solve the problem together."

Arrow wasn't worried about being unpopular.

After all, since he was a child, he has almost never been favored by others.

But it doesn't matter, because this is not a quick thing.

The team walked slowly along the street. The mayor of Round Cheese walked in the front with a torch in his hand, yelling menacingly, as if he could knock out the thieves as long as he yelled a few more times.

Ai Luo didn't mind this kind of behavior, because the mayor probably never thought of catching the thief through this method, right?Rather than arresting thieves, it might be more practical to increase one's prestige among the townspeople.

However, the problem of thieves always needs to be solved.

As long as the thieves are not caught and there are a few more thefts, then people will naturally think of their guild, and things will naturally develop in a good direction.

"Who?!"

Just as Airl was thinking about how to advertise next, a townsman suddenly roared loudly!

Hearing the exclamation, Brad immediately raised the round wooden stick in his hand and rushed to Arrow to be on guard.Although this guy's brain is not good, he still remembers the rules of warriors taught him very well, which makes Airl very relieved.

"There! At that window!"

The townsman who had just shouted pointed out a broken house that had been uninhabited for a long time at first glance, and a shadow appeared on the window on the second floor. From that figure, it was obviously a human being, and it was also a petite human being!

"Thief! Catch the thief!"

Round Cheese waved the torch in his hand, and pointed at the uninhabited house with confidence.Immediately the strongest townspeople rushed into the house like enraged bulls.

About 3 minutes later, those townspeople grabbed a figure and came out of the building.

"Caught it!!!"

No way? !

Although Airl still wanted to maintain the smile on his face, there was still a slight twitch in this smile.

Xiao Lijiu snorted, turned around and said, "It's solved, our town has always solved problems like this. Go home and sleep, then pack your luggage, and leave before you lose too much money."

Can such a result make Arrow happy?

Of course not!Could this thief stay dormant in the small town for several months, steal so many things, and then be suddenly caught in less than half an hour of patrolling in one night?

My promise of one gold coin has already been released. If this thief is really caught like this, it will be a major blow to the reputation of my guild!

No matter what Airl said, he couldn't just end it like this. He quickly separated from the townspeople in front and squeezed to the front, wanting to see what the thief looked like.

Under the protection of Brad's huge body, it didn't take long for Arrow to squeeze to the front.I saw two strong men holding a small body and kneeling in front of the round cheese.

It was a girl, a girl with short gray and white hair, wearing a tattered robe, her hands and feet looked extremely slender, and she was definitely no older than 12 years old.

The girl was held by the arms of two strong men, her face was full of fear, tears of fear dripped down, her lips turned white with fright.

Round Cheese looked at the little girl in front of him with a big belly.He approached the little girl with the torch in his hand, and shouted sharply: "Who are you? There is no one like you in our town! It must be you who stole so many things from us, you little thief!"

The little girl was trembling with fear. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Ai Luo, who was watching from the side, glanced at the little girl's attire, and felt a little better.

Napa: "Look at her outfit..."

Airl: "Ah, I know."

"Hey! Let me ask you something! Did you steal so many things from us?!"

Round Cheese yelled at the top of his voice, emphasizing that he should be full, showing his mayor's prestige at this moment.

The little girl was even more frightened, her body trembled even more, and her whole face was weeping, as if she would faint immediately if she was frightened again.

"Don't say? Not to say is tacit consent! Even if you are a child, stealing is stealing! I am announcing now as the mayor of Pelican Town, because you have stolen so many things from our town, so you have two choices! One, You have to pay back our town’s fine of almost 5 silver coins! Two, sell you and pay us back with the money you sold!”

As soon as she heard that she was going to be sold, the little girl's body twitched somewhere, and her already weak body couldn't handle it, and she collapsed all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Brad couldn't bear it, so he raised the round stick in his hand and planned to rush up.But before he took a step forward, he still took a look at his own president. Seeing that Ai Luo still didn't say anything, he hesitated for a while, and then withdrew his steps and stood beside Ai Luo.

Airl frowned even more as he looked at the little girl surrounded by everyone.But due to business principles, it is not convenient for him to speak up now.

He is waiting.

Wait for that "thing" to happen.

If at the last minute, that thing still doesn't happen...

"Hey, what is that...?"

While Round Cheese was aggressively interrogating the little girl, a townsman involuntarily pointed to the end of the street and pointed there.

At first, there were only one or two people, but as the eyes of those looking there could not be retracted, others also looked in that direction.

The streets at night are filled with a dark atmosphere.
