Such words sounded sonorous and powerful, and they obviously shocked the voices around them that seemed to be whispering.

Round Cheese now had his eyes wide open, looking at Ariel in front of him with a confused look on his face, his mouth open and speechless.

At this time, Ariel pretended to stretch out her hand and gently push away Cream in front of her, and said with a bit of complaint: "Why are you saying it so exaggeratedly? You scared everyone."

Then, she walked towards the round cheese again with a smile and a gentle expression, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to his random bragging. You also know that the cream of our guild likes to brag to the sky."

Round Cheese was slightly startled: "Bragging? Then...then...what he said is all false?"

Ariel curled her lips: "Well...a small part is fake. That is, the marginal part."

Round Cheese continued to open his mouth: "So... so... you... no, you... you are really... the mistress of His Highness the Second Prince...? Are you really... a baron?"

In response to this question, Ariel scratched her cheek a little and could only smile and nod.

With a plop, Round Cheese immediately knelt down in front of Ariel.

As soon as he knelt down, other citizens around him also knelt down one after another, with expressions of sincerity and fear on their faces.

Seeing this, Ariel quickly stretched out her hand to help the mayor, and said with a smile: "Oh! Boss, don't be so formal. Although my identity has indeed changed, I am still me. Arrow is Ariel, and Ariel is

Aero! Everyone, please get up, don't be so nervous, it's okay, I'm still the president of the Mermaid Song Guild, there's no difference at all. Everyone, get up, ah, get up."

Under Ariel's greeting, the surrounding citizens stood up one after another.

At this time, Mermaid Song's luggage had been moved. Ariel led the guild members into the guild hall. After greeting the employees to help clean up the guild that had not been cleaned for nearly five months, Ariel herself

I took the round cheese and sat down on the seat in the rest area.

"That... Her Excellency the Baroness..."

"Call me Ariel. If you like, you can continue to call me Arrow."

Ariel waved her hand to show herself to be absolutely friendly to the people. She didn't wait for Round Cheese to think about the difference carefully before continuing -

"I've been away for five months, and Pelican Town has changed a lot! Now it shouldn't be called a town at this scale, but has become a city, right?"

Round Cheese looked at the girl in front of him carefully and looked at her bright eyes. After repeatedly confirming that these eyes were indeed the President Arrow that he was very familiar with, the mayor couldn't help but exhale.

He said with a helpless smile——

"Ariel... President Ariel, you hid it so hard from us... Actually, you didn't have to hide it from us so tightly. If you had told us from the beginning that you were following the royal family's order, we would have done the same.

He will cooperate very well with the royal family."

Ariel stretched out her finger and drew a circle on the table, smiling silently.

After sighing, Round Cheese stretched out his hand and patted his thigh, turned his head to look at the guild hall, nodded, and said slowly——

"Indeed, you have been away for almost half a year, and the changes here are indeed very big."

"In the past six months, we have relied on the five thousand gold coins left by Mr. Sugar-coated Wine to start working hard to develop our town. We built a lot of houses, and then built the pier. The streets are no longer the original dirt roads.

Instead, it was paved with stone slabs.”

"According to the specifications, Pelican Town can indeed be regarded as a small city. Viscount Rich came to our town once before going to the capital and felt that it could become a city, so he asked us to find a way to build a wall.

, to prevent the invasion of Warcraft. However, this aspect is still under planning. I am a little tired from doing it in the winter, so I want to take action after the spring of this year."

"Well... I will continue to be the mayor of this Pelican City. However, the city needs a lord. As the mayor, I am only responsible for management. Viscount Rich said that he will find a way to apply for a Pelican this time when he goes to the capital.

The qualifications for the lord of Lilic City are here, but His Excellency the Viscount has not had time to come back yet."

Ariel nodded and said with a smile: "How is it? After becoming the mayor of a city, do you feel that your energy is much better?"

In response to Ariel's jokes, Round Cheese gradually let go. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can it be so simple? It's not good at all!"

"President Ariel, do you know that after you left, we suddenly entered a somewhat panicked situation. Although Viscount Rich said he wanted to become the lord here, he could not provide any specific administrative advice.

Let’s just carry on as usual.”

"But, we have built so many houses here, so many houses need people to live in them, right? But originally, there were not many people in Pelican Town. The previous winter was because of what you did, President Ariel.

It’s a guild competition, so it’s very popular. But this winter, apart from selling the output of the flower fairies, we have no financial flow at all, so not many people come.”

Ariel was slightly stunned and said: "The resources of the flower fairies alone are not enough for you? The things they made and the fairy tears are scarce. There is also a tour of the flower fairy forest. This is also a road, isn't it?"

Round Cheese sighed helplessly and said, "Originally, we thought so too. But since President Ariel left, there seems to have been some changes over there in the Everlasting Mountains."

"The Changmian Mountains, which had been barren all along, began to become vibrant (harmonious), with flowers, plants and trees growing. The forbidden land on the other side of the mountains also looked green at that time. In the month you just left,

During the time, we even saw some rarely seen monsters appearing in the Forbidden Land. Fortunately, those monsters did not seem to have any intention of crossing the Evermian Mountains and attacking our village."

"But relatively speaking, the flower fairies are not so calm. They seem to be very sensitive to danger. In addition, it is winter. In their words, they move less in winter. These two reasons add to the

After getting up, the flower fairies no longer have to worry about traveling, and their output has begun to become scarce, and the number of magicians and merchants who come to buy the output has also become smaller. Therefore, we basically don’t have any in Pelican City now.

How much money do you make?”

Ariel rubbed her hands, nodded and said, "Before I left, I discovered that something was wrong with the situation in the Everlasting Mountains. Have other guilds been sent to investigate? Or have people from the army come to check?"

Round Cheese breathed out: "No, President Ariel. You also know that before our area became a city, it was theoretically under the care of Viscount Norris Paxus. In the past few months, the Viscount has been solely focused on

He was just thinking about how to perform better at the second prince's wedding. In response to our request for investigation, the viscount just left a question like "Is it dangerous for you? Isn't it a good thing to grow trees?"

us."

Ariel frowned, thought for a while and then continued: "What about Viscount Rich Wald? Pelican City will be his territory in the future, does he not care about it?"

Round Cheese laughed dryly and clapped his hands: "Viscount Rich has been caring about his business all day long, and he is more concerned about the situation of your Mermaid Song competition. In addition, he is not behind you.

How long does it take to set off, so I basically don’t have much control over the affairs of the Changmian Mountains.”

In other words, no one cares?

It is strange that this situation of complete neglect lasted for five months. Although it seems that the monsters on the other side of the mountain have not invaded Pelican City, no one can guarantee that the situation will not get worse.

get worse.

"Okay...I will send someone to take a look at it sometime."

After Ariel said this, the round cheese mayor smiled, glanced at the employees who were cleaning the guild next to him, and said: "By the way, President Ariel, why are you coming back this time?"

What do you want to do? Why did you bring back so many... homeless people?"

At this point, Ariel laughed. She stretched out her hand and lightly touched the table and said, "They are my employees. Although they do not belong to the combat department of Mermaid Song, in general, they can be regarded as mermaids."

Be part of the song. By the way, boss, speaking of these employees, I hope to discuss a few things with you."

Round Cheese didn't understand and nodded: "You said?"

At that moment, Ariel took out a small notebook from her arms, opened it, took a look at it, and said slowly: "First of all, I need to solve the problem of housing for these employees. Although my guild is large, it is impossible to accommodate so many employees.

People are coming to live with me at the same time.”

Round Cheese was stunned for a moment, but then said: "President Ariel, you mean to ask me to provide accommodation? No, no, no, no, how is this possible?! All the residences in Pelican City belong to everyone.

How can outsiders be allowed to live here casually?"

"Don't worry, let me finish." Ariel stretched out her finger and tapped on the notebook, smiling, "I still remember at the beginning of last year, a paladin came to our town and spent a huge amount of money to buy

Want to buy lots of real estate?”

This time, Round Cheese opened his mouth half-open, and after hesitating for a long time, he said: "It does happen..."

Ariel smiled and nodded: "At that time, the Paladin transferred all the house purchase contracts to Viscount Rich. Viscount Rich was very generous and generous and transferred these properties to Viscount Rich at a very low price.
