"Although...I am willing to become a member of the Mermaid Song Guild. But...but!"

Sitting on the bar chair, Coco looked restrained. After all, she was too short, and her loose robe made her even less intimidating.

"If... you want me to do something I don't want to do... I will definitely refuse! And... I will run away immediately! Do you believe it?"

Ai Luo nodded, with a signature smile on his face: "I know, I won't chain you up even if my legs are on you. So, you are welcome to join my guild. From now on, you are the Mermaid Song."

a member of.”

The expression on Coco's face was very strange. Maybe she didn't know whether joining this guild meant she had entered a den of thieves or had someone to rely on, right?

But it doesn't matter, Ai Luo considers himself a businessman. Since he is a businessman, as long as he can generate profits, other things are not important.

Now there is a warrior and a magician in my guild. As far as the basic task components are concerned, I can handle some simple tasks.

The goal in the future should be to be able to send out teams first, without having to accompany them every time as a standard.

After breakfast, Ai Luo said to Brad and Buffy: "Today, I will trouble you two to stay at the guild. If there is a mission, take it first, but don't talk about money. I will evaluate the mission when I come back.

See how much you should charge. Other than that, just clean the room."

After giving the instructions, Ai Luo looked at Coco and smiled: "Then, you and I will go out for a while."

Coco was obviously not good at dealing with Ai Luo, and her arrogance suddenly dropped a little. She shrank her neck and said, "You... what do you want me to do...?"

"What else can you do? Go ahead and apologize."

Ai Luo put away his smile and put on a serious face——

"Even if you weren't the one who stole things later, you must have used your noob to steal things from many people in the town in the early days. If you steal things, you must apologize."

Hearing this, Coco had a very unhappy expression on her face. She muttered: "Is it necessary? I have to apologize for taking something... No one in the guild has ever said anything about taking something from ordinary people before.

I still need to apologize."

"cocoa."

Ai Luo's tone suddenly became serious, which made Coco couldn't help but twitch.

"I don't care how your previous guild dealt with it, but in my guild, I must ensure that the reputation of my guild is within a range that I can control. And I must also ensure that my guild members can

To behave upright in this town, sit upright. You must admit your mistakes when you steal things, and you must apologize for hurting people you shouldn't hurt. Whether you are a magician, a warrior, or an ordinary person, this is a rule of thumb. Brad over there

And Buffy, you also heard it clearly."

Ai Luo had always maintained a smiling attitude, but now this serious face made Coco's neck shrink further.

After the lesson was over, Ai Luo took Coco out and walked towards Mayor Round Cheese's home.

Although he said so, Ai Luo knew that this was actually not easy.

Let Coco apologize. On the one hand, it does have the idea of ​​​​shaping this little girl's outlook on life. After all, it is not a good thing if there is a necromancer and a twisted moral outlook.

On the other hand, I will send Coco out on missions in the future. Her identity as a necromancer cannot always be kept secret. She must gain the understanding of the townspeople.

But...the difficulty lies precisely here.

"What did you say?!"

Mayor Round Cheese's first reaction after seeing Cocoa confirmed Arrow's worries.

Arrow smiled and was about to explain. But the round cheese seemed to have been bitten by a mouse on the buttocks. He rolled backwards several times and rolled all the way to the back of the desk in the mayor's office. With great difficulty, he finally got out of the desk.

Then he stuck out his head and looked here tremblingly.

Coco lowered her head, unconsciously moved behind Ai Luo, stretched out her little hand and grabbed his collar.

Ai Luo quickly apologized and said: "I'm really sorry, Mayor. That undead soldier was indeed summoned by a member of my guild... and she did steal the things. But now she has become a member of my guild.

I brought her here specifically to apologize today."

With that said, Ai Luo pulled Coco in front of him: "Quickly, apologize to the mayor! The good boy should apologize now."

Being frightened by Arrow, Coco muttered and hesitated for a long time before lowering her head to the round cheese: "I'm sorry...Mr. Mayor. I will never do it again. Please forgive me..."

Round Cheese looked at Coco carefully and said hesitantly: "She...is she really a necromancer? Really?"

Sure enough, I am still afraid... This is also the reason why Arrow didn't bring Brad. If the big man stops here, no matter who faces him, he will be under pressure. Not to mention adding a necromancer.

so……

"Coco, come on."

"...Do you really want to come?"

"Come."

As a last resort, Coco could only push the twig in her hand, and soon the undead soldiers reappeared in the mayor's office.

After confirming the undead soldiers with his own eyes again, Mayor Round Cheese panicked again.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Mayor... please... forgive me, I'm sorry!"

Coco made a ninety-degree bow, fully displaying Ai Luo's teachings.

And the undead soldier is now kneeling down on one knee in front of the mayor, holding his sword in front of him with both hands, like a polite knight, full of the most sincere repentance.

People, at first, are afraid of unknown things.

But as long as the contact time is long, the adaptability of human beings will often surprise many monsters.

After about a minute or two, Round Cheese saw that Coco and the undead soldiers had no intention of attacking him, so he boldly got out from behind the desk.

After waiting for a while, he finally fully confirmed the current apology from Coco and the undead soldiers, and instantly became bolder.

"Are you kidding! Do you know how to repent now? When you stole things and caused us so much trouble and hurt people, why didn't you think of repenting?!"

Round Cheese sat on the chair and slapped the table.

Coco's teeth bit down gently, and her originally lowered head was now slightly raised. But Ai Luo snorted softly.

Hearing this snort, Coco quickly lowered her head again: "I'm really... I'm sorry! So I'm here to apologize today... If there is anything I can do to compensate, I will definitely do it!"

Ai Luo smiled appropriately and said: "Similarly, since she is already a member of my guild, the guild will also shoulder her responsibilities. Boss, please tell me, what does it take to forgive us?"

Round Cheese rolled his eyes, touched his mustache, and said arrogantly: "Since you want to apologize, you must be sincere in your apology! You have to know that the things you stole before add up to

There is one...no, as much as two gold coins! If you or your guild are willing to compensate for this loss, then of course there will be no problem. I can also explain the whole story to the townspeople and ask them to forgive you."

As soon as the number of two gold coins came out, Coco was about to have a seizure! But Ai Luo still pressed the little girl's head well and kept her lowered. At the same time, she smiled and said: "Two gold coins? This amount is indeed

A bit much."

The chubby mayor must have been completely accustomed to the undead soldiers. He walked slowly in front of the soldiers, like a king accepting the audience of a knight, with a big belly: "So, do you know how many things you have stolen? But stolen

Things should be compensated for! I think President Arrow should be very clear about this."

"Hahaha, of course I understand. Two gold coins are a lot, but it's not impossible. But, can I compensate in another way?"

Round Cheese looked at Arrow with a wary expression. After all, he still regretted selling the largest house in the town to him for fifteen gold coins.

"Boss, in addition to managing things in Pelican Town, you also sell Pelican Town real estate and sell pies part-time, right?"

As soon as the pie was mentioned, the boss' vigilant expression immediately changed to a color of pride, and his whole face was beaming: "Of course! The round cheese family's pie is an ancestral secret recipe! There were many pies before my father was elected mayor.

Years ago, our family had the best way to make ancestral pies! Let me tell you, our family’s pies are something that even the small spirits in the Unicorn Bar will praise, and they have been steadily supplied to various dining spots in the town for a long time!

"

But at this point, Round Cheese's expression became a little depressed again: "But unfortunately, the town is getting worse every year, and now the only dining spot here is the Unicorn Bar... Sigh... Huh?!"

Suddenly, Round Cheese suddenly raised his head and looked at Ai Luo, his eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, your guild is going to form a sales channel with the most delicious cheese pie family in this town?! Tell you, you absolutely don't

You will regret it!”

Ai Luo just wanted to say "yes", but unfortunately, the mayor is not stupid--

"No, no, no, wait, wait, how many people are there in your guild now? The daily food expenses are less than two copper coins, right? How long will it take you to pay back my cheese pie? No, no, no,

It can't be that simple, you have to find other ways to compensate me."

There was no other way, so Ai Luo could only step forward and spread his hands, saying with a smile: "Boss, how long does it usually take you to earn two gold coins?"

Round Cheese thought for a while: "About two quarters, what's the matter?"

Arrow: "Then if I let you earn two gold coins in about a quarter, can that settle our accounts? Are you also willing to help my members speak well of us to other citizens of Pelican Town?

Our little necromancer?”

The mayor looked at Ai Luo with a look that looked at a monster. Coco, who was bowing next to him, also raised his head with an expression like "Is our president a fool?"

"If you can make me earn two gold coins in a quarter... good! If you can really do it, then I will treat you as repaying the money! But what if you can't do it?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "Whatever you earned in that quarter is still how much you earned. I will still pay you 2 gold coins after the expiration."

"make a deal!"

Mayor Round Cheese still had an expression of disbelief on his face, but he agreed, so the problem became simple.
Chapter completed!
