"All in all, we need to handle this matter with caution. Well... first of all, we need to have a unified approach. Do you understand what I just said? The Jushan Guild went to the mine, but came back quickly because nothing was found.

"

Although Ai Luo feels that he should have some ideas, it is not yet suitable to put these ideas into action. Therefore, it is better to talk about these ideas with his own members first.

Everyone agreed easily, and even the priest, the Holy Bread, nodded and smiled. After all, it would be beneficial for the entire town not to have a battle between the two guilds in the town, so the high priest could still tell such a little lie.

Don't care.

"But, can we really deceive the next guild?"

Ji Lian has some questions——

"Just like what you just said, president, our current behavior is like treating the next guild as fools. So since we treat them as fools, the next guild that is coming should also treat us as fools.

We’re a little uncomfortable with the money we’ve earned.”

This made Ai Luo very happy.

Our own thief, Ji Lian, actually has doubts because he is not so content with making money. This fully shows that the atmosphere of our guild is indeed developing in a positive direction!

Ai Luo laughed, then waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. In fact, the money Jushan Guild gave us was nominally to buy us to shut up, but in fact it was just to buy them peace of mind. If

If I were the leader of their rival guild, I would not believe the information given by the people in the places the Jushan Guild passes along the way. God knows how much false information has been ambushed."

Cocoa was a little confused: "So... we are like this? Nothing is done?"

Regarding the member's question, Ai Luo smiled again and said: "Of course I have to do it. But... I have been thinking about one thing since just now. But I'm afraid it's not very convenient at the moment.

Let me tell you, I need to check the situation of the next arriving guild before making any plans. During this period..."

Ai Luo's eyes turned around on everyone's faces and said: "I would rather know which city the Giant Mountain Guild was originally stationed in. Since they can know the movement of the army in Pelican Town, they should be as far away from Pelican Town as possible.

The town is not too far away. I hope someone can go and investigate. Ji Lian, I’m afraid I’m going to trouble you again this time.”

Cream jumped down from his seat, pulled his clothes slightly, and said: "Okay! There is almost no work during this period, and I feel like my body is getting rusty. The nearest city, right? Okay,

Then I’ll leave immediately in the afternoon.”

Ai Luo walked behind the counter and took out a gold coin and handed it to Cream: "This is the travel expenses. It's not much. Try to use it sparingly. If you have more then, you can take it yourself."

Holding the gold coin, Cream's eyes lit up. He stuffed the gold coin into his pocket and nodded to Arrow with a smile. Then, the thief went upstairs to pack his things and opened the guild.

We went out in spite of the increasingly heavy wind and snow.

Seeing that Cream had completely left, Napa spoke up: "Are you really generous? Going out to investigate, you can get a gold coin in one breath?"

Ai Luo did not shy away from everyone and said with a smile: "After all, investigating this kind of thing is difficult. Although Ji Lian always said that he would sell his life to the guild, I can't really drive him around at will, right? In the same way,

If you have made outstanding contributions to the guild or are indispensable in some aspect, I will not be stingy either."

Dreams cannot be eaten as food.

Only when you are full can you continue to chase your dreams.

Ai Luo knows this truth very well, so when faced with this kind of imperative exploration mission, only by giving enough money can his subordinates work harder and perform their duties more conscientiously.

This is not a question of favor, but a question of whether a boss can be considerate of his subordinates.

If your employees are grateful to their boss and have enough to eat, their loyalty will be automatically enhanced without having to do anything at all, and their work enthusiasm will also be enhanced.

If you want to obtain greater economic benefits, sometimes you need to distribute the obtained economic benefits.

Many things in economics are sometimes really counter-intuitive, and Arrow only understood them after studying them.

All afternoon, everyone was chatting here. Without Cream, although there was one less braggart, it was quite nice to calm down and listen to the stories of Uncle Holy Baker saving people in the past. Unknowingly, this calm and

Another peaceful day passed.

——December 2, 1301, food expenses: -3 silver, 9 copper, 9 iron, map and illustration sales: 5 gold, sealing fee: 5 gold, exploration funds: -1 gold, balance: 128 gold, 8 silver, 2 copper (stolen money

Balance: 34 gold, 7 silver, 7 bronze——

Day after day, the heavy snow in Pelican Town seems to have no intention of letting up in the past few days.

The small town that originally seemed very quiet is now even more silent, as if it has been caught in the cracks of time, without any sound.

Even those flying birds are no longer active in this seemingly uninhabited town. Among the large number of houses, only the smoke that occasionally rises from the chimneys of some lonely houses can be noticed.

There are still people living here.

Life in a border town is quiet and peaceful.

You can't make a fortune here, but if you settle here, you will feel a kind of spiritual intoxication that the capital will never have.

You can sleep until you wake up naturally every day, then sit around the fire, talk, play games, read books, etc. with your family, and spend a very fulfilling day with nothing to do.

In this environment, you will feel that the passage of time seems to be stationary, and everything will become slow. Even if you want to take a nap in the afternoon, you will feel that not much time has passed when you wake up.

Days like this are suitable for many people.

However, for Ai Luo, such days are a kind of torture.

Although he won't show it on his face, as the days become lazy and the guild members wake up later and later, he gradually becomes the first one to wake up every day, and then looks at the snow falling outside the window.

The corners of the weather are twitching.

He is waiting for someone.

Wait for the giant mountain guild that doesn't want to reveal its whereabouts to show up.

After all, there are three months in a winter, and it would be too uncomfortable to waste these three months like this.

It seems that the first year is almost over, but he has only touched one-eighth of a thousand gold coins.

The Holy Night Festival three years later will not be postponed for a month or two because Pelican Town is a border town. The time is limited. Now he is the first to wake up every day and the last to sleep. I hope for that enemy all day long.

The guild can now appear in front of you immediately.

Money, money!!!

Ai Luo, who has been thinking about money these days, can hardly keep the smile on his face.

He felt that if he could see that guild appear in front of him right now, he would probably rush up and hug the other guild leader and shout——

"Gold! You are finally here~~~!"

But every time he screamed in his heart, all he saw was the daily deficit in his account book.

Not opening for three months is not a good sign.

Squeak——!

Suddenly, the door opened.

The action of opening the door made Airl's eyes almost immediately turn into heart shapes!

But when he saw that it was Ji Lian who came in, the smile that had accumulated due to excitement immediately collapsed as if it had lost its support.

"President, I'm back!"

Corresponding to Cream's smiling expression, there was an expression on Arrow's face as if someone owed him a thousand gold coins and he would not pay back.

"Oh, I'm back. How's it going?"

William did not notice the change in his president's tone. He shook the snow off his shoulders, walked to the counter with a smile, and sat down in front of Ai Luo: "President, we have investigated everything. In fact, it is not that difficult to investigate.

Do you know Lagoon City? It’s a city about a week away from Pelican Town. In this area, Lagoon City can be considered the largest city.”

Ai Luo nodded, a little confused: "I know Laohu City, but...a week? But you have only been away for three days."

Ji Lian smiled cheerfully and said: "I know, President. But my luck is really good. I have only been out for more than a day. When I was passing through Honglu Town, I saw a guild carriage staying there for the night.

. I lurked nearby and listened to their conversation, and I immediately knew that their target was our Pelican Town. And from their conversation, I knew that they were from Lagoon City, and they also talked about giant mountains in their conversation. It seemed that they were chasing

From the Jushan Guild."

"I rushed back in a hurry because I was afraid that the two guilds would cause trouble in Pelican Town, so I wanted to rush back as soon as possible and report to the president."

With that said, Cream took out five silver coins from his pocket and put them in front of Ai Luo: "I didn't run far this time, and I really didn't spend much. So I'd better ask the president to take these five silver coins back."

Ai Luo was also very happy to see that William was so knowledgeable. He put away the silver coins and said, "Is that guild called Soul Flame? How is their relationship with the Jushan Guild?"

Ji Lian nodded: "It's the Soul Flame Guild. As for the relationship with Jushan... haha, I can really only describe it as quite bad."

Hearing the voices in the hall, the guild members slowly gathered over. Cream took a sip of water and began to say with excitement——

"I just listened for a while, and after a little counting, I heard them scolding the Jushan Guild no less than thirty times. As long as they talked about the Jushan Guild, almost everyone was talking about it. I was really surprised.
Chapter completed!
