Chapter 16 The first mine mission
Throughout the morning, Ai Luo simply closed the door and carefully cleaned the entire reception hall on the first floor, striving to give people a clean and tidy feeling.
According to speculation, the person who came this time should be only the initial reconnaissance candidate. It is unknown whether this person is someone sent by the empire, but if the boss behind him is someone from the empire, then he will be able to make this first business.
It is tantamount to linking oneself with the top management of the Blue Bay Empire.
In business, you always hope to establish relationships with powerful people. In this way, you will gain a lot of information advantages!
Therefore, you must entertain well and show your "attention"!
Ai Luo didn't even dare to eat too much for lunch, so he just stuffed a piece of bread to satisfy his hunger. He waited until everything was cleaned before he opened the door and stood behind the counter, keeping his habitual attitude even if there was no one around.
Smile.
It would be great if there was a waitress... I believe it would be much better to hire a beautiful waitress to stand here, right?
Thinking of this, Aero couldn't help but sigh and turned his head to look at the cat next to him.
...Forget it, let’s think about these things later when the guild is on the right track.
Finally, the sunlight flashed through the door, and a person walked in.
"Welcome to the Mermaid Song Guild, how can I help you?"
Ai Luo immediately showed off his professional smile and tried his best to make the visitors feel at home.
The person who came in looked around. He first glanced at the bulletin board over there. When he saw the empty task bar, an imperceptible sneer came from the corner of his mouth. Then he walked towards Ai Luo.
This is a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, with short hair. He looks quite handsome, but the expression on his face feels a bit arrogant. The clothes on his body don't look that great.
It is expensive and made of coarse cloth. It looks light and airy, but the scabbards of the two sharp knives at the waist are heavily decorated. This shows that the owner attaches great importance to his weapons.
Standing in front of the bar, the young man did not take a seat. He just looked around again, finally fell on Ai Luo and chuckled: "I heard from the mayor that your guild is very good. Call your president out.
, I want to entrust a task."
Ai Luo knew that he was being underestimated because of his youth. He was not angry and nodded slightly and said: "Okay, then please call your boss. It will be more convenient to talk to your boss."
A curious look appeared on the young man's face. He looked Ai Luo up and down again and sneered: "Are you the president? Mermaid Song is really a little fish. Even the president is a little fish."
Sorry, once is enough.
Ai Luo changed the topic and continued to say with a smile: "Can I help you?"
The young man chuckled, then sat on the chair, spread his hands and said: "I have a commission, but I don't know if your little fish guild is qualified to take it. Do you know the Changmian Mountains? It's just northeast of your town.
Fang, I want to do a geological survey there."
Ai Luo continued to maintain his enthusiasm: "So, you need a guide and a bodyguard? Well, the Changmian Mountains are relatively far away. If you want to climb the mountain, it may take a few days."
The young man's eyes once again showed a trace of contempt: "What bodyguards can a small union like yours provide? How many members does your guild have?"
Arrow: "A warrior, a mage, and myself."
Obviously, Ai Luo saw that the disdainful expression in the corner of the young man's eyes became more intense. He shook his head, as if he was disappointed.
"As expected, I shouldn't expect too much from a small guild like yours. Three members? Forget it, how many are there? I've hired them all. How much does it cost?"
Ai Luo nodded: "If you just explore the Everlasting Mountains, there shouldn't be any danger. 3 silver coins should be enough."
With a snap, the young man threw a money bag on the counter and said in a slightly contemptuous tone: "Here are 5 silver coins. If there are no problems, the deal will be done. When can you leave?"
"Our two members still have missions, but they will be ready in three days."
"Okay, then it will be three days later. I just hope that you will be fully prepared by then."
"No problem at all! As long as the price is in place, the service will naturally be in place."
Ai Luo put away the money bag, weighed it, smiled again and said——
"Having said so much, I still don't know your name. May I ask your name?"
"Grim, Robin Cream."
After giving the money, Ai Luo of course sent the benefactor away with a smile on his face.
He opened the wallet, looked at the five shining silver coins inside, picked up the bag and shook it, the crisp and sweet sound was still so fascinating no matter how many times he heard it.
Sure enough, news of the gold mine began to spread, and it seemed that he would have to take care of the business of Changmian Mountains from now on.
"Huh? Napa? Where are you?"
After being excited for a while, Airl realized that the cat was not in the same place now.
But with Ai Luo's call, Napa flew up from behind the counter again and slowly landed on the cushion.
"Why are you hiding?"
Aero said casually.
Napa yawned, shook her tail, and continued to maintain that lazy expression: "You are really relaxed. A simple inspection mission has five silver coins? This is the biggest profit you have made since starting the guild.
Pen."
After packing up the money, Ai Luo re-locked the cash box, stuffed the key into his underwear, and kept it close to his chest. He smiled and said: "This can only be regarded as a generally low price in a big city. You should be more happy that our guild has finally started.
Make a lot of money! As long as this business is done well, there will be more and more business in the future!"
Napa licked the hair on her front paws, stroked her ears, and said slowly: "I don't like this guy. His arrogance makes me very uncomfortable. You should be glad that I'm hiding, if he dares to say anything to me
If you use inappropriate words, I will definitely make this kid pay a heavy price."
After taking care of her hair, Napa sat on the cushion with a clean appearance and said with a serious face: "Ariel, I thought about it carefully. Although I don't like this human being, I don't really want to be here."
Appear in front of him. But I will accompany you on the inspection mission in three days."
"No, you should still help me look after the house."
"you!"
Napa didn't seem to expect that Ai Luo would refuse so decisively. Her body floated up again, and her body slowly exuded rich magic power!
"You said before that the emergence of gold mines will cause a lot of instability. This commission is obviously to investigate the gold mine. I can't trust that guy named Ji Lian, he has a sense of danger.
This investigation is not something that a stupid warrior, a third-rate mage, and an ordinary person like you who know nothing can handle!"
It's a pity that these thick magical arrows are still invisible.
The president still maintained his composure, and the smile on his face remained unchanged for a long time.
He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm measured. And don't underestimate our members, they just haven't shown their strength yet. Besides -
—”
Ai Luo took another sip and showed the most commercial smile to Napa: "Don't forget, you still need to help me take care of those children~~~"
That night, as soon as Brad, Buffy and Coco came back from work, Ai Luo told them about the inspection mission.
The performance of these three members was quite happy, especially Coco. Perhaps it was too boring to watch the undead soldiers harvesting wheat for a day, and she looked very longing for this adventure.
Of course, Brad also had questions about why the vice president was always so angry and yelling. But it didn't matter, Ai Luo dealt with the problem very well.
After dinner, Ai Luo took his family members to the warehouse at the rear and conducted preliminary cultural education in a temporary classroom. It has to be said that after two hours of class, Ai Luo only felt that he should probably find a regular teacher.
The teacher of Erba Jing comes over, otherwise it will be just one word - tired!
——August 31, 1301, Sun Festival, harvesting commission: 4 copper and 5 iron, child care commission: 5 copper, mine visit commission: 5 silver, food: -1 copper and 7 iron, balance: 79 gold and 1 iron——
The next day, under the strong appeal of the mayor, twenty-three children, accompanied by their parents, came to the Mermaid Song Guild. During the day, the warriors and mages went to work in Mai Yi's wheat fields, while Ai Luo
The guild took care of the children. After sending the children away at night, Airl taught the three members writing and language.
It was the same on the third day, except that the number of children increased to forty, one month at a time. From this aspect, Ai Luo really felt that he had done the right thing in wooing the mayor of Round Cheese! It was just a matter of fatigue.
It's also rising straight up.
Then on the fourth day...
"Okay, let's go!"
After leaving all the children to the cat with a bruised forehead, Arrow led Brad, Buffy and Coco and strode towards the Everlasting Mountains.
Chapter completed!
