Gold is Justice

At this moment, the cold death aura in the entire hall disappeared instantly.The undead soldiers who gathered just now have all turned into dust and disappeared.

Jelly raised her head, and saw that Ke Ke, who was still furious just now, fell down on the floor with a plop, her eyes were closed, and she fell asleep as if she was dead.

Brad poked his head out, felt the temperature in the air a little bit, and then breathed a sigh of relief.He covered Buffy in his hand, and comforted him softly. Buffy was really tired now, and finally fell asleep again under the comfort of his companion.

It's just that Brad just wanted to settle down with his companion as soon as possible, so he didn't come to help Coco, but said casually: "Well, Jelly, you take her back to the room and arrange for her to sleep too."

After that, Brad covered Buffy with both hands, carefully placed her on the table, and at the same time fetched some milk and put it in front of her.

Jelly turned around and saw that Coco was lying on the ground snoring, he could only sigh helplessly now, stepped forward, picked up the necromancer on his back, and started walking up the stairs to the second floor .

At this time, the door of the guild hall opened again, and a large group of guild members headed by Ariel finally walked back with tired steps.

As soon as he entered the door, Cheese ignored his physical fatigue, glanced at the hall, and said, "Where's Mochi? She came back first."

Brad replied immediately: "Jel took her back to the room to rest."

Hearing that his compatriots had rested now, Cheese also breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this time, Margo also saw Jelly carrying Coco on the second floor, and asked casually, "What is our little handsome guy doing now?"

Brad didn't even raise his head: "Fu Keke went back to the room, just now Keke got angry at Jelly, and she was very angry. It seems that because Jelly refused to become more intimate with her. Besides, Coco also scolded her. He's a playboy."

At that moment, all members of the entire guild stood at the gate as if they had been struck by lightning. No one spoke, and no one moved.Everyone's eyes fell on the one-armed man on the second floor, silently watching as he helped Ke Ke into her room.I have been so silently watching...

"Okay, let's stop here for the gossip. Everyone is tired today... Take a rest first."

Although Ariel also wanted to know what happened here, did such an ambiguous relationship suddenly appear in her guild without her knowing?However, these gossip news are okay to ease the tension, but they cannot be treated as serious matters.

She asked the other members to pile up a lot of materials on the side table, and said: "After the rest is over, we have a lot of things to deal with. Our next work... can be said to be very difficult."

----

Sustaining a guild is one thing.

But maintaining a city is another matter.

The difficulty of managing a dozen or so people in a guild is completely different from the difficulty of managing tens of thousands of people in a city.Regardless of the fact that everyone in the Adventurer's Guild possesses unique skills, they are extremely powerful.But without the rear of Pelican City, no matter how powerful the guild was, it would face a situation of falling apart.

But now, there are two absolutely not small problems in Pelican City.

The emergence of these problems also represents the focus of Ariel's next work.

On the second day, Ariel immediately summoned all the dignified people and government officials in Pelican City, and also invited the flower fairies and members of the blood clan, along with her own guild members, to the Song of the Mermaid guild to discuss the latest A problem that occurs in Pelican City.

That afternoon, when everyone arrived one after another, Ariel had already asked the members to arrange the entire guild hall, ensuring that everyone had a seat and serving some simple tea fruits.

After everyone was seated, Ariel nodded slightly, and Little Round Cheese on the side responded with a nod and said, "Now, let's have a meeting. Today's meeting will be organized by the Mayor of Pelican City and the Mermaid Song Guild. The chairman, Viscount Ariel Garcia, is here to take the role. The purpose is to discuss two major issues that are currently emerging in Pelican City. Now, mayor Garcia will speak."

While everyone was watching, Ariel cleared her throat slightly, stood up, and said——

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

"Thank you all for being able to come to this meeting at this time, so I won't say much about the polite words. I believe everyone has heard about the murder of Mr. Gatling two days ago, right? I sorted it out here Let me briefly explain the cause and effect of the incident, just in case, I will give a basic event line first, let us all stand on the same starting line first."

As Ariel finished speaking, Brad and Coco lifted up the whiteboard and pasted clues on it.

Afterwards, after briefly introducing Gatling's murder incident, Ariel exhaled slowly and said——

"These are the information we have in Song of the Mermaid. If there is anything that is not detailed, please feel free to add it. But now, let me raise a question that is pressing for us so far. That is..."

After pausing for a moment, Ariel exhaled and said——

"Our elemental gun, what should we do?"

As soon as this statement came out, many people present could not help but gasp in their hearts.Some people, even though they had already been psychologically prepared, were still surprised that the mayor now directly brought up this matter.

Seeing the complex expressions of everyone here, Ariel continued to say——

"There is no doubt that the elemental gun helped us defeat the Royal Knights, and defeated the former president of the largest guild in the Blue Bay Empire. This is definitely a proud record, and it cannot be denied no matter what."

"But the problem is coming now. The elemental guns helped us defeat the enemy. But when preparing for battle, these weapons have a strong deterrent effect. His power is so great that my guild members can't approach rashly, nor Be careful of the risk of being hit."

"Although he is not a member of my guild, the elemental gun wounded a member of the blood clan two days ago. According to the information I got, that blood clan friend has not recovered yet, has he?"

Bronze Hand, the representative of the blood clan, nodded, and she said: "The power of the elemental gun is beyond our imagination. Although it is not as good as the injury directly bathed by the holy light, the bullet splits in the body, shattering the muscles and blood." The destructive power of the internal organs, and the sequelae of the fragments still staying in the body, it is not so easy to recover."

Ariel nodded, and continued: "Yes, the elemental gun is very powerful. According to my opinion, such a powerful weapon should not be kept in the hands of ordinary people. Although we relied on everyone's strength to attack it two months ago. The enemy has been retreated, and the elemental guns have remained in your hands. But now, I still hope that you can tell the people in the city to collect the elemental guns again and not put them in the hands of ordinary civilians. Everyone, do you think so? How?"

Regarding Ariel's proposal, everyone's faces showed some expressions of approval.But in the same way, there are some people whose expressions are very complicated, far from the color of easy approval.

"Mr. Mayor, as the current acting leader of the militia, I have something to say."

The one who spoke now was a civilian who had performed very well in battle before. Because of his steady personality, Ariel appointed him to manage those people with weapons.

The leader of the militia—Vodka Iron Cannon crossed his hands and said seriously——

"There is no doubt that I also agree with the power of the elemental gun, and I also agree that the elemental gun should be controlled."

"But please don't forget that we are still preparing for war. We don't know when the Blue Bay Empire will attack, and we don't even know if they will go directly through Lagoon City when they come. If we encounter If there is a sudden attack, and our fighters have no weapons in their hands, the result will undoubtedly be fatal."

Ariel should have known about this kind of thing.

This kind of... "power" thing.

Compared with mages who always hold the most powerful sword in their hands and can cast magic at will, ordinary workers and farmers seem to have nothing to do with this "power" by nature.

After all, it is very hard for them to support themselves, and they simply don't have the energy to keep exercising and improving themselves without giving birth.Even those with magical talents, under the pressure of years and life, it is impossible to make themselves so powerful.

Therefore, power seems to have nothing to do with them.

From the moment they were born, they seem to be destined to become these hard-working workers, and there will be no change in their lives.

But now... the elemental gun appeared.

This kind of strength does not require much exercise, as long as the hands are healthy, it can exert the strength no less than those knights and magicians who have been training diligently for a long time. Now it is in their own hands!

Right now, the threat of the Blue Bay Empire has not disappeared.

It has only been two months since the end of the last battle, and it may be barely enough time for the Imperial Army's troops to assemble just to spread the news back and forth.It is conceivable that there will be a difficult battle in the not-too-distant future.In that battle, the enemy will definitely be mentally prepared, and it is completely impossible to face-to-face confrontation like a cavalry charge.

Ariel was not worried that these people were afraid of death.

If they were afraid of death, they would have left Pelican City long ago, and they would have rebelled with them long ago.

What they are afraid of is that when facing those well-trained enemies, they do not have comparable "power" in their hands... In other words, after seeing the power of the elemental gun, a large part of the entire city Elemental Gunners all attributed their victory to the development of this new type of weapon, not to the unity of everyone in Pelican City to fight against the enemy together...

At this time, if Ariel insisted on taking back the elemental gun, it would naturally make them lose their support in their hearts, and they would feel weak and powerless again.

For this question, Ariel is certainly not unprepared.

At the moment, she just put her hands behind her back, nodded lightly, and said to the big man with doubts on his face: "I know, Mr. Vodka Iron Cannon. I can understand your worries, and I know the same. Although it is true that such things can be prevented from happening again after the weapons are taken back, there may be no way to quickly change them in the event of an emergency.”

Vodka patted himself on the chest hard, and said to Ariel: "Mr. Mayor! Please worry, I will definitely not do something like Gatlin. And I believe that many of us will not do such a thing." thing!"

This one is guaranteed.

Of course, if guarantees are useful, then why do contracts in this world?

Ariel exhaled slightly, and said: "Mr. Vodka, I know your feelings for the elemental gun. You even changed your surname because of this, taking 'Iron Cannon' as the glory of your family. I am very grateful for this .”

She raised her head, turned around and looked at all the people present, and continued: "I admit that what Mr. Vodka said is indeed reasonable, and this is not a question of who should listen to who is more reasonable. It is that we need to listen to each other at any time." There is a balance between the two extremes of dealing with the enemy' and 'de-escalation of force in Pelican City to make peace'. We are not asking for either or, we need to consider an appropriate degree. This is the reason for this meeting. I I hope you don’t just listen to me, but express your opinions together.”

After finishing speaking, Ariel didn't speak anymore, but glanced across everyone's faces again, waiting quietly.

The crowd present at the meeting looked at me and I looked at you. With Ariel sitting down, people also changed from being quiet at the beginning to bustling and whispering in private.

After such constant discussions in private, a young man raised his hand at this time.

Seeing that someone was willing to speak, Ariel was very happy, and quickly responded with a gentle smile to the young man.

After coming into contact with this smile, the young man blushed, but he stood up immediately and said, "Mr. Mayor, I am one of the designers of the elemental gun. I have discussed it with several of my colleagues. One thing, can we add a lock to the elemental gun?"

Ariel was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with some interest: "Lock?"

The young man nodded: "Yes, add a lock and wear a key. It's just that we are not very clear about how to lock it. My colleague has designed to add an iron piece behind the trigger. After the lock is locked, the iron piece can’t move, so the trigger can’t be pulled. Some colleagues also thought to block the barrel. It’s just because we faced a battle some time ago, and we didn’t have any time zone verification, so we couldn’t draw a suitable design. Picture here."

"I think, if we add a lock, it should be more convenient for us to get the key if we encounter a dangerous situation than getting an elemental gun?"

Such a proposal cannot be said to be so perfect, and Ariel herself did not think about solving the problem at once.

However, it is an improvement if someone proposes a solution, which is better than thinking hard by yourself.

If someone takes the lead, others will follow.

Next, many people also proposed some methods in their minds. Some of these methods seemed too wild, and some of them sounded good at first glance, but they were too complicated to operate and unfeasible in emergencies.

However, in Xuancheng, all the elemental guns were stored in another elemental device, and when there was an enemy situation and the elemental device sprayed all the weapons into everyone's hands in one go, someone sat down, but someone raised his hand.

"Dark?"

Seeing this handsome man raised his hand now, Ariel was a little surprised.

After all, after the duel with his father, Dak can be said to be completely absent-minded.But now, his face is full of calm.

"President, what we need now is a transitional solution to the problem. I... I don't know if my idea is useful, but if it's just a transition, maybe it should be feasible?"

After exhaling a little breath, Dak continued to say——

"Just now everyone raised a lot of ideas. After I summarized these ideas a little bit, I think so."

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

"However, Mr. Gatling's house has these things. Moreover, six pills were found at one time. If you add what he may have eaten, the number is likely to exceed seven pills."

"I would like to know, as an ordinary worker like Mr. Gatlin, how can he buy so much Dulenjia in one go? What's more, the price of Dulenjia is not high. When it's cheap?"

Compared with the issue of weapons, the issue of Du Lengjia is what Ariel really cares about.

Or it can be said that in today's meeting, Du Lengjia is the issue she cares most about and wants to deal with the most.

After all, people who use elemental guns can look at it rationally.

But people who take Dulanjia are often irrational.

Facing Ariel's question, these people present fell into silence again.Their faces either showed confusion, or anxiety, or looked eagerly around, but none of them showed a gesture of knowing the inside story.

Ariel looked at the people in front of her silently, and after seeing no response from the crowd, she continued to speak——

"No one has an answer for me? So... are there any officials from Lagoon City here?"

Following Ariel's inquiry, everyone's eyes turned to a corner.

There, sat a thin man with a slightly short stature, a monocle, and a mustache.
