In despair, Crowbar lowered his head silently.

The fear and despair of losing everything finally condensed into tears, rolling down from the corners of this man's cracked eyes.

Everything...that ends here.

The door opened, and the soldiers walked in again and dragged the guy who had lost everything out.

After handling the crowbar, Viscount Norris's mood finally improved a little. He looked at the city lights outside and took a long breath.

Although his operation against Mermaid Song failed this time, it was not without gain. At least, he could recruit the Killer Bee guild.

As a lord of a party, if there were any monsters or bandits around the territory, Viscount Norris, as a lord, should have sent troops to attack it. Moreover, such a attack itself would not be able to collect money from the townspeople.

It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for the lord to create an adventurer's guild. Even if it is created, it can only do some service work at most.

But now, I can acquire a guild through a third party and run it without showing up. In this way, if there is an incident that should require the lord's army to be dispatched, I can ask the Adventurer's Guild to come forward. This can also

Make more money.

Thinking of this, Viscount Norris also slightly alleviated his annoyance about the failure of the Pelican Town Guild War and became more relaxed.

Squeak——

Just when the lord was thinking about the next spring plan, the door was opened again.

The sound of pushing the door was somewhat beyond Norris' expectations. Just when he turned around and wanted to scold some ignorant guy for daring to come in without being summoned, his eyes were suddenly caught in front of him.

The man standing was shocked! At the same time, the scolding that came to his mouth was swallowed in an instant.

"teacher?!"

In front of Norris, an old man in his fifties who looked tall, slightly rich, but overall very energetic was standing there, looking at Viscount Norris with a smile.

"Oh my God! Teacher, why are you here? Why didn't you let my subordinates announce it? Look at me, I didn't even have time to greet you!"

Norris hurriedly stepped forward to entertain him, but the teacher laughed cheerfully and shook his head. He took off his cloak and handed it to the entourage behind him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, kid, for remembering me."

Such a teacher has not come to see me for so many years, I thought you had forgotten me, old man!"

Norris quickly arranged for the teacher to sit down, poured a glass of wine and brought it to him, and said with a respectful smile: "How could I forget? I will never forget the teacher's teachings to me in this life. There are really too many things in the territory.

I’m very busy and don’t have time to go to the capital.”

After the teacher took a sip, Viscount Norris said cheerfully: "I wonder how the teacher and my wife are in good health? You must ensure your health. You know, you are my guiding light as a student! If there is no more

You, I really don’t know how to live anymore.”

The teacher laughed and waved his hand. He put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "You boy, you are still as sweet as before! I know that you must be full of questions now, wondering why an old man like me suddenly suddenly

Come to see you?"

Now that the teacher has spoken, Norris just smiles and waits for the answer.

The teacher patted his thigh, thought for a while, decided to go straight to the point, and then asked——

"Recently, a new guild was created in Pelican Town, did you know?"

Norris was slightly stunned, and for a moment he didn't know why his teacher would care about this matter: "I know, it's a new guild called Mermaid Song. The president is a short man, he looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.

age."

The teacher nodded, thought for a while and then continued to ask: "I heard that the activities held by this guild are very lively recently! Even several nearby towns including your Lagoon City have gone to participate in their activities. And you

Ah...hehe."

Seeing the teacher's meaningful smile, Norris's face turned blue and white, and he stood beside him with his hands down, looking a little embarrassed.

"teacher……"

"Okay, okay, I'm not here to teach you a lesson. Well, let me test you. How much do you think this Mermaid Song spent to create this event? How much money did they make?"

Norris thought for a while and then said: "Teacher, do you want to test me?"

Teacher: "Forget it, let's see how much money it costs and how much money you can make if you plan it yourself."

Norris clasped his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the room a few times before nodding and saying: "The amount of money required to hold a guild war is definitely not a small amount. I don't know what method Mermaid Song used to make the entire Pelican

Even Lilic Town helped him work together to act together, but I think the amount of money spent on this Mermaid Song is definitely not a small amount."

"The total population of Pelican Town is only four to five hundred people. With one month of preparation period, two months of activity period, and three full months of busy work, the cost of two gold coins per person is absolutely necessary."

"Then, there is the construction of the venue, the printing of tickets, the production of peripheral products, etc., all of which require money. Calculated in this way, the labor cost and construction cost alone require at least 1,500 gold coins.

Then there are the two hundred gold coins for the winner of the guild war. In terms of other costs, including some other miscellaneous expenses, I think it should cost about two thousand gold coins."

"As for the surplus... based on the average ticket price of Mermaid Song, which is 5 copper coins, a game with 3,000 people can earn 150 gold coins. A total of 30 games in two months, and looking at all peak conditions, it can be

The income is 4,500 gold coins. In addition, I heard that Mermaid Song also has an opening ceremony. Although the tax is heavy, the income should be quite a lot."

The teacher nodded slightly: "Of course, your calculation is based on the situation that all the shows are full. In fact, it is impossible to achieve such a state. Then how much money do you think Mermaid Song made this time?

Woolen cloth?"

Norris thought for a while and said with a certain attitude: "A conservative estimate, there should be 500 gold coins."

After hearing this number, the teacher leaned slightly on the chair, looked at the ceiling, and murmured to himself.

"500 gold coins... more than a year, 500 gold coins..."

Seeing his teacher's thoughtful thoughts now, Norris was a little curious. He waited for a moment, but the teacher never continued to speak. He finally couldn't help it and asked -

"Um, teacher? I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask... You are staying well in the capital, why do you suddenly want to ask about such an unknown little guild in a remote town? This guild...

Is there anything special?"

After being asked this question by the student, the teacher seemed to finally come to his senses.

He took a long breath, and a worried look flashed on his face. But this expression was quickly put away by him, and he said slowly: "Norris, with your temper, it is impossible to see such a big thing."

A mouthful of fat meat without taking a bite. But looking at you...hehe, you must be deflated."

Norris's expression became even more embarrassed.

"However, don't be discouraged. Now, in the name of your teacher, I will assign you a problem. I don't know if you can do it."

Norris took a half-step back with some fear, bent down and bowed: "Teacher, please give me your orders! As a student, I will never dare to be disobedient!"

A kind smile appeared on the teacher's face, and he said slowly: "Haven't you always wanted to go to a more affluent area? Now, because of the frontline war, there are some deployment orders in the capital. I hope to recruit someone with economic minds.

, a lord who can create a lot of wealth for His Majesty will go to some wealthy cities to develop the economy to support the front line. Do you want such an opportunity?"

Upon hearing the news, Norris was immediately filled with excitement! His eyes began to shine, and he seemed to be in high spirits: "Teacher! Really...? Can I do it?!"

The teacher nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand, stroked his student's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Of course you can. So, I will give you such a question this time. As long as you can do it, then I promise you! This

This dispatch order is yours. And you can definitely choose the city you want to go to."

Viscount Norris straightened his body suddenly and gave a respectful military salute to the teacher: "Teacher, please give me your instructions! I, Norris Paxus, will definitely complete the mission!"

In response to the students' current excitement, the teacher nodded happily. After the salute, Norris came forward again and asked seriously: "Then, teacher, what is this question?"

"Ah, the question? It's actually very simple."

The teacher stood up from his chair and smiled very gently and kindly——

"Use non-violent means as much as possible. Before this year's Holy Night Festival, the assets of Mermaid Song shall not exceed 1,000 gold coins. While doing this, let its president Airo Garcia go bankrupt."

"Is this possible?"

————

It would be great if money could not be given out at all.

When he woke up, Arrow began to feel that he might be a great villain?

Isn't it just one thousand gold coins? Isn't there more than one thousand gold coins in my account book now? With such a huge gain, even if I say goodbye to Pelican Town directly, I can just go to the appointment with this money.

Mission accomplished?

That's right, after waking up in the morning, Ai Luo's mind was full of such thoughts.
Chapter completed!
