Gold is Justice

Sure enough, Nuomi completely agreed, nodded vigorously, turned to Ariel and said, "If it's just about being a racing driver, then I think... I can try it."

For this, Ariel gave Margo an approving look, and Margo sat down as if relieved, and patted her chest secretly.

"Welcome, Ms. Nuomi, who is willing to be our first racer. Then since you are my racer, you can also think about the specific rules and procedures of this racing competition together. Um... just now Ma Song has already set the course of travel. Then... since it is a competition, there must be a prize, right? If it is a prize..."

Ariel tilted her head, thought about the financial resources of Pelican City, and said——

"Since it's the first time, it must be held in a grand manner. The champion who wins can get [-] yuan in cash from Pelican City as a reward. How about the price?"

At that moment, Ariel watched Margot cover her mouth with her own eyes.And Nuomi, who just agreed with interest just now, is instantly stunned and speechless.

That's right, five hundred yuan is equivalent to five hundred gold coins in the past, and it is also almost one-fifth of the current financial balance of Pelican City.

For Ariel, being able to take out five hundred yuan at this time is really heartbreaking.But she wants to know that her choice is correct.After all, it is all about taking advantage of the weakness of human nature, taking advantage of the innate love of speed, which is much more sustainable than simply pursuing big breasts and big butts.

"That's right, five hundred yuan. With enough prize money, no one will want to actively sign up to participate in this competition. Well...Of course, the elemental car needs to be prepared by each contestant, so there is no problem?"

Nuomi snorted forcefully and nodded: "No problem! My car is always in top condition!"

Ariel clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Very good, now that the prize money has been determined, let's determine the specific rules now. Hmm...time trial? One car running a lap? This is too boring One point. Sure enough, it would be better to have many elemental cars running together. Margaux, do you think it would be better to have several elemental cars running together at one time?"

Margaux looked at the topographic map of the track, thought for a while, and said, "At least, two cars should be run together. This way, it will be competitive and enjoyable. In addition, the distance of the hidden lake is for For the sake of safety, it is best to allow only two cars in the lane, to provide the possibility of overtaking, and not to let a large number of cars crowd together..."

Ariel: "So, just compare two cars?"

Margaux: "Well... no, I think there should be at least six cars racing together. For six cars, we can make it wide enough at the beginning so that six cars can be side by side. After that, it depends on whether we can overtake. The level of the racers is improved. If there are more cars, the track will have to be expanded a lot, which is time-consuming and costly. If there are too few cars, once the strength of each competitor varies greatly, there will be no viewing the match of."

At the moment, Ariel nodded and glanced at the pen in front of Margo.And Margo was slightly taken aback, looked down at the pen in front of her, and then pointed at herself: "Shall I record?"

Ariel: "Huh? Don't you want to take on this big job? I'm only in charge of planning and grasping the overall policy. You will recruit people to do the specific details. I will also discuss with the political officials about the funds. It was allocated to you, what else do you want?"

As soon as she heard that she was going to hold this seemingly super-large event, Margot immediately felt that things were going to be difficult, she waved her hands again and again, and her face showed a prevarication expression; "President, isn't it good? You see, I have never held such a large-scale event before. If you leave this kind of thing to me, what if I mess up? I am not as careful and meticulous as you, the president, and I do not have as many ideas and inspirations as you Flash~~~"

Ariel: "Oh? Do you want to continue selling cars? Well then, you can continue. Let me see who can take on this big case... By the way, I hope you can give me a financial report at the end of the year Satisfactory answer."

Margot: "President, I think you should leave this job to me. After all, we came up with the idea and the idea. I must be the most suitable person in the entire Song of the Mermaid to do this kind of thing now." .”

At that moment, the corners of Ariel's mouth curled up silently.

After deciding on the commander, Ariel continued to think about the details of the match.Especially thinking about the collision problem when the vehicle is galloping, she asked: "During horse racing, are there collision rules and no collision rules?"

Margot nodded lightly, and said: "Yes, if the visitors define this horse race as an elegant social event, and horse racing is the most important thing to set off the entertainment atmosphere, then it is basically selected as There is no collision rule. Once there is a collision between horses, the malicious collider will be punished. Even if it is not malicious, it must be warned, so as to protect the lives of horses and players.”

"But if it's something more exciting, and the people who watch it just want to see their blood rushing, then there will be collision rules. Some underground racetracks even allow riders to fight each other. Of course, this kind of Racecourses generally stipulate that only people can be attacked and horses cannot be attacked, otherwise, if everyone attacks the horses at the beginning of the race, it will be great if one of the ten races can be completed properly."

Regarding such a rule, Ariel was a little embarrassed.She turned her head to look at the silent Nuomi over there, and said, "Ms. Nuomi, what do you think... During the competition, choose the rule that allows collision or the rule that does not allow collision?"

At first, Nuomi was not very interested in this matter.But with the affirmation of the racer and the five hundred yuan reward, she listened carefully to all the conversations just now.

After thinking about it, she said: "President Ariel, since we have to prepare the elemental cars ourselves, we must hope that collisions are not allowed? After all, elemental cars are quite expensive."

Margaux: "It's the excitement of allowing collisions! Think about it, six monsters made of steel make a roar together, and then constantly collide with each other under the pull of speed, accompanied by the sound of steel friction and the continuous rotation of the elemental machine, Isn’t that exciting? If you want to attract customers, this is also a good attraction.”

This is really a good proposal that Ariel can't refuse... After all, isn't your car crashed and you want to buy it again?If you want to buy it, don't you have to go to Song of the Mermaid to buy it?

So in essence, Ariel still thinks that the sooner the things sold to customers are damaged, the better. After all, it is worth buying again.

"That... Ms. Nuomi, if all the contestants participating in the competition are your night clan, even if there is a collision or damage to the vehicle... you will not be injured. For the excitement of the competition, you see, right? able to accept..."

"But, there will always be ordinary humans participating, right?"

Now, Nuomi is no longer confused, and said bluntly——

"Five hundred yuan bonus, is the price the same as the bonus for the guild championship battle you participated in before? I don't believe that ordinary humans will not participate in such a large amount of money. If they participated, they were injured and died after being hit by a car. How to do?"

Mochi said, "If you are afraid of death, you don't have to come to the competition. Since you have chosen to compete and are still afraid of death, what about other people who are not afraid of death? It's like hunting. Sometimes you don't risk your life. Unable to track prey..."

Nuomi reprimanded: "Mochi, don't talk, this is a matter of ordinary human life!"

Mochi pursed her lips, and muttered furtively, "Isn't it because you are afraid that your precious car will be scratched..."

Since the chief racer didn't agree with the collision rules, Ariel could only sigh and said, "Okay, okay, then let's stipulate that collisions are not allowed. However, the speed of the elemental car is so fast, the racer When driving, you can’t guarantee that you won’t scratch others at all, right? Therefore, small scratches that don’t cause bad effects are still allowed. Otherwise, no one will dare to overtake at the beginning of the race, so there will be no viewing.”

The first thousand and 420 chapters believe in the beautiful past

On this matter... Ariel and Nuomi have their own insistence.On the one hand, I hope that the game scene will be more exciting and more enjoyable.The other party wants to protect their car and avoid any major conflicts.It can be said that these are two contradictory requirements in themselves, and now we can only try to compromise as much as possible.

"The specific rules for vehicles on the track should be designed by the commander-in-chief of Margaux in accordance with the rules of non-collision horse racing. After that, it is to recruit racers, and then advertise to other cities, especially to Propaganda in other provinces and cities.”

Although it is easy to say, if you really want to delve into one thing and study the various details in it, it is really quite complicated.

Ariel doesn't know much about horse racing. Although she is also from the Duke's Mansion, as the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, if Alice Kingo doesn't have much interest in horse racing, then she will naturally There will be no more contact.

So in comparison, in this matter, Margaux, who used to accompany the nobles to attend various parties and watch horse racing casinos, is more familiar with it.

Unknowingly, after spending almost two hours, the general framework of the entire game was completed.The next thing to do is to fill in the details endlessly, which is not something that can be done in one night.

Seeing that the time has come to two o'clock in the morning, Margot saw Ariel's listless face and her eyelids started to fight a little, she understood in her heart, then put away the notepad in front of her, and said: "Why don't you just come here today. President, you should also go to rest. I will arrange the work in my hands well, and I will write a plan for you to read."

Ariel is indeed somewhat unable to hold on now.She nodded slightly, smiled at Margaux and Nuomi and Mochi, who were in good spirits, and exchanged a few pleasantries.Afterwards, she went back to the room under the watchful eyes of everyone, had a good rest, and was ready for the morning meeting four hours later.

----

"I'll send it to you."

After packing up her things, Margaux held the staff of light and faced the mother and daughter Nuomi and Mochi with a smile.

Obviously, when facing Margaux, who is compatible with the light element, Mochi has always maintained a lot of vigilance, and he was the first to block between the two.

"What do you want?"

Seeing that Mochi was so protective of her mother, Margot couldn't help but smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send you off, don't you need to be so wary of me? Come on, let's go out. Tonight's moonlight It’s great, the street is very quiet now, sometimes I want to take a walk outside and enjoy the moon.”

Walking out of the guild gate, the street outside was indeed completely silent.

The silver-white moonlight poured down on the entire Pelican City, dyeing the entire world in a pure color.The element lights that are still on in the streets and alleys form a tacit understanding with the lights. Looking around, the lights of the entire Pelican City are like coming to a tavern with lights that will never go out after a tiring day. , as soon as you push the door and enter, there is a bottle of warm wine that can comfort the body and mind after a day of fatigue, making people extremely comfortable.

Three women of different races, different ages, and different attributes are now walking side by side on this street ruled by night.

On a quiet street, the sound of footsteps seems to travel far away.

Margaux was holding the staff of light, her steps seemed very relaxed.After walking out of a street, she turned her head and saw that Nuomi was still following behind her, but the "colleague" from the guild was still so nervous, holding the short bow in her hand, never leaving.

"Mochi."

Suddenly, Margo called out the name of the blood girl——

"You have work to do tonight, right? If I remember correctly, you are going to investigate the one-eyed birds that popped up from the Long Sleeping Mountain Range and hunt them down? Tonight is almost over, Are you still not leaving? Are you going to be deducted from your salary by the president tomorrow?"

After being reminded by Margot, Mochi suddenly realized that he still had work to do tonight.But looking at this white-haired nun with a malicious face, and at the gentle-looking mother behind him who seems to be easily deceived, this little blood race is obviously caught in a tangle.

After a while, she even pointed at Margot: "What the hell are you... trying to do to my mother?!"

Margot sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I mean you, can you stop being so wary of me? What can I do to your mother? Your mother is now a racing driver of our guild, even if you Even if I have the guts, I wouldn't dare to do anything to your mother."

Mochi tilted his head, as if he felt that this sentence made some sense.But he still said with some worry: "What you said... seems to make sense. But, you really won't do anything to my mother? You promise?"

Margo raised the staff of light in her hand and knocked it on the ground. At the same time, she put her hands on her hips, put away the smile on her face, and put on a very unhappy expression, just silently looking at this little girl who should be the same age as herself. girl.

Facing Margo's expression of calmness and prestige, Mochi was still a little tender after all, and his neck shrank a little.

Regarding this, Nuomi also felt a little bit sorry for her daughter, and quickly said: "(Blood clan language) okay, go to work. Mom is fine, don't worry."

Mochi turned back to look at his mother, with some uncertainty in his eyes: "(Kindred Language) Really? Mom, this person... this person is a pure light element affinity..."

With a bang, the staff of light hit the ground again, and Margot clearly showed a slightly displeased expression——

"Hey, it's true that I am a light elementalist, but I was born with it, and I have no choice. You are also born with vampires, and you have no choice. We humans hate vampires as a kind of racial hatred, and you vampires hate Could it be that I, who is friendly to the light, am righteous and awe-inspiring?"

If you just want to talk about logic and sophistry, how can Nuomi and Mochi be the opponents of Margaux?

For a moment, the mother and daughter could not refute.And Nuomi could only persuade her daughter again, smiled, and sent her away.

Looking at Mochi over there, looking back at each step, she seemed a little uneasy as she walked further and further away, and Nuomi's eyes were full of love.

After waiting until the figure of Mochi completely disappeared, Margaux, who had a stern face on the side, finally smiled, rubbed his cheeks a little, hugged the staff in his hand, and said with a smile: "Oh~~~You guys Mother and daughter are really interesting. Mother dotes on her daughter so much, and daughter loves mother so much. Sister Nuomi, I can see that although your daughter always looks like she doesn't want you to take care of her, she still cares about you at critical moments Well." Talking about her daughter, Nuomi's mood also improved.She smiled, turned her head, continued to walk towards her home, rubbed her hands and said, "She is a bit like his father... Although I try not to tell her about her father. I am afraid that she will be like her Like my father, she became so upright and admitted her death. But now... well, looking at her appearance, it will remind me of my husband... He has been dead for almost 20 years."

Margot smiled and responded: "You have a good husband, and that child Mochi also has a good father and a good mother. In our guild, she can be said to be the luckiest one. Just like us, almost all An orphan without a father and a mother. The only berserker who still has a father, but now he and his father are on the road of deadly enemies."

Nuomi with her hands behind her back, the more she walks, the more confident she is.She chuckled, and then said, "I think...Miss Margaux doesn't need to be so negative. I believe that you must have a pair of excellent parents."

"Me? Ha, are you mocking me?"

Margo pointed to her nose, and said indifferently——

"I don't know who my parents were. I've been a bad woman for as long as I can remember. If I had a father, my father must have been a robber, a thief, or a murderer. My mother should have She is also a prostitute (harmony) or something. She gave birth to me and then sold me. Compared with the president, my luck is not much better. She was sold to the duke's mansion as a slave. Not a slave yet, but it's never a good thing in that environment."

Margo turned her head away and looked at Margo next to her.I saw that although her eyebrows and eyes were full of disdain, there still seemed to be a little regret and unwillingness in her eyes.After thinking for a while, Nuomi asked——

"Have you...haven't thought about finding your biological parents? Now, you are a member of the Mermaid Song Guild, and you have power in your hands. And to give birth to you so beautiful, your parents must also be a pair of exquisite people Son."

Margaux shrugged, still with a very indifferent expression: "They? Delicate? Ha! What a joke. Sigh~~~ Maybe they're all dead by now, what to look for, I won't recognize them if I find them They didn’t raise me, and I don’t think they are even as close to me as this staff in my hand is to me.”

While speaking, Margot lightly stroked the staff of light in his hand.And only when she looked at the staff, the unwillingness and regret in her eyes would be slightly reduced.

Nuomi still has some instinctive resistance to this bright staff, but thinking of the "racial discrimination" problem that Margo mentioned just now, she also swallowed a little bit of saliva, calmed down, and asked tentatively: "This magic staff What is the origin of the stick...?"

Facing Nuomi's question, Margot was slightly taken aback, and looked at the staff in his hand again.

Looking at the slightly aged Bright Staff, its body was obviously smoothed by rubbing, as if it had been covered with a layer of warm grease.Although the head of the staff seems to be slightly worn, as long as you hold it, the light magic power in your body seems to be able to be guided very smoothly.Obviously, the previous owner of this staff cherished this staff very much, but now, this staff is treating himself with the same attitude...

"I... I don't know very well either."

Margo hugged the staff to her chest, looked at the slightly simple shape of the staff head, hesitated for a moment, and continued to say——

"I didn't ask carefully either... Thinking about it carefully, maybe it was because I didn't ask carefully, so they didn't tell me. I just vaguely knew that the former owner of this staff seemed to be looking for his long-lost daughter. It's been a long, long time. Finally died in the mermaid song, so be it."

While saying these words, Margo stopped in her tracks, and just silently stroked the staff in her hand.And the ball on the staff is now reflecting the brilliance of the moonlight, shining gently on her face.

After Nuomi thought for a while, she moved closer to Margaux.She also looked at the staff of light, and after thinking for a moment, she carefully stretched out her hand, little by little, to approach the body of the staff.

Her movements were very slow, and she was even fully prepared to withdraw her hand as soon as she felt a little uncomfortable.At the same time, she can also run far away immediately...

But what she didn't expect was that her fingers... were able to lightly press on the staff.And her hand can also gently caress the staff cast in the name of "Brightness".

Nuomi: "This staff..."

Margo: "It's amazing...it automatically gathers the light power above it. She knows it can't hurt you?"

Nuomi let out a sigh of relief, and felt relieved.She gently stroked the staff, raised her head, looked at Margot and said, "Although I don't know what kind of person the former owner of this staff was, I believe that he must be a very gentle, very A kind person. Moreover, he is constantly looking for his daughter until he dies... This makes me believe that he must also be a very responsible father."
