Having said this, Round Cheese paused again, and glanced at him as if he was discussing with Little Spirit. After receiving Little Spirit's supportive look, Round Cheese continued -

"Then... President Arrow, don't be too angry after saying these words. That is to say... some townspeople have begun to spread rumors that there were no monsters in the past for so long, and now monsters have appeared as soon as the Mermaid Song left.

, so these monsters are most likely summoned by your Mermaid Song, and you want to use this to blackmail the townspeople of our town into giving money to deal with it... That's it."

The reason for no business was found.

Ai Luo shook his head slowly and said with a smile: "Who spread this rumor? How could our Adventurer's Guild do such a thing?"

Round Cheese quickly apologized, spread his hands, and said loudly: "Of course! I personally completely believe in President Arrow! After all, you are kind and smart, and you never forget to make money.

Give us a hand. But President Arrow, you have to take care of my current difficulties~~After all, your Mermaid Song is on the cusp of the storm now, and it’s not easy for me to help you openly in front of the townspeople.

Say something nice, right?”

The little spirit next to him nodded lightly: "The top priority, the most critical thing you Mermaid Songs need to do is to find a way to eradicate that monster. The sooner it is eradicated, the faster your credit will be restored."

Eradicating monsters? This is easier said than done.

As Round Cheese said just now, despite the presence of Uncle Holy Baker, the Mermaid Song still ended in a tragic defeat with one person killed. Under the current situation, unless fresh troops can be immediately replenished, there is no possibility of eradicating the monsters.

?

This problem is now placed heavily in front of Ai Luo, and it has become a mountain that he must overcome.

But just as Ai Luo was thinking about it, a town citizen ran over in a hurry. After seeing Ai Luo, the town citizen's expression was slightly startled, but he immediately lay down in front of the window sill.

He shouted at the mayor inside——

"Mayor! Mayor, come and take a look! Something good is happening! A great thing is coming!"

"Good thing?"

Round Cheese wiped the flour on his hands with his apron and asked strangely——

"What good thing?"

"Oh! Just come quickly! This kind of good thing is really rare!"

Since the townspeople were so urging, Round Cheese couldn't refuse. He said hello and closed the shop. After a while, he changed into clean clothes and walked out. When the townspeople saw the mayor coming out, they quickly turned back to lead the way.

.

Seeing the round cheese running so fast, Ai Luo was also a little curious. But just when he was about to ask the little spirit next to him, he found that the tavern owner had already walked far away and seemed not to be interested in this "good thing" at all.

No, I just walked on the way back to the Unicorn Tavern.

After thinking about it, Aero decided to join in the fun. After following Round Cheese and the town citizen out of two streets, a deafening sound suddenly erupted from the front!

Crack, bang, bang—!

It was a series of firecrackers, and the sounds came and went, making it very lively!

When I turned a corner, I saw a large building that was only a little smaller than the Mermaid Song. It was already crowded with people. The whole building was now well decorated and decorated, and a huge gilded font was inlaid.

On top of the building's main entrance—

"Honey Jar...Guild?"

Looking at the huge sign, Ai Luo could hardly describe his current mood!

Especially when he saw the man standing in front of the Honey Jar Guild with a happy face and cutting the ribbon, a huge thunder suddenly exploded in his mind, causing him to lose all hope in an instant.

reaction!

That's Viscount Norris...

The lord of Lagoon City, who was considering acquiring Mermaid Song not long ago, is now standing proudly in front of the Honey Jar Guild, looking happily at so many citizens of Pelican Town!

"Today, I really welcome all the townspeople to come and participate in the opening ceremony of our Honey Jar Guild. Although this guild is only a small guild and it is currently the first store in Pelican Town, I believe that it will open in the near future.

In the future, you will definitely be very satisfied with the services of our Honey Jar Guild!"

As Norris spoke, about ten or so skilled and well-equipped people standing on both sides of him immediately clapped and started to build momentum. Under the applause of these people, the townspeople also began to applaud unconsciously.

Come on, suddenly the whole street is filled with this warm applause.

Norris was very satisfied with the atmosphere at this moment. He glanced at Arrow from the corner of his eye, and continued to open his arms and said: "I believe everyone already knows what the Adventurer's Guild does, right? So we

There is no need to explain it in detail here. In comparison, I just want to introduce our new guild members to you, and let everyone get to know each other."

After speaking, he reached out to a heavily armed warrior next to him, and this adventurer, who looked experienced at first glance, took a step forward and loudly announced his name and occupation.

Next, the ten members announced their names and powers one by one. From warriors to magicians, from assassins to boxers, the entire team felt like a very good and outstanding team just by looking at it.

Looking at such a well-trained team, Ai Luo's expression naturally didn't look good.

After introducing all the members, Viscount Norris continued to step forward and said with a smile: "So starting from today, our Honey Jar Guild will officially open for business! I hope everyone can support it! During the opening of the new store,

All work commissions will be discounted in half! Thank you!”

Price war!

Ai Luo knew that he had encountered the type of battle he feared the most.

A powerful capitalist uses the large amount of capital in his hands to directly overwhelm his competitors on price, which is often the most effective and convenient behavior. But he never expected that Viscount Norris would do it in order to be able to do so.

Kill the Mermaid Song with just one breath, and then use this tactic?!

Isn't it just that I have robbed you of the right to run a guild war? Is it necessary to be so angry that you spend a lot of money to completely crush your opponent? This kind of tactic of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred others is used on a small guild like my own.

, if there is not really a secret, then there is definitely something wrong with the brain!

Seeing that the Viscount had finished speaking, Mayor Round Cheese immediately raised his hand and pushed his way to the front of the line.

After seeing Mayor Round Cheese, Viscount Norris nodded with a smile and said: "Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Mayor. I'm sorry that our guild decoration was rushed and we didn't have time to inform you. Speaking of which, this building

The construction company has not yet completed the purchase procedure from you, and I also want to have a good discussion about this matter with you."

Round Cheese smiled awkwardly. No matter how much he said that the title of mayor was appointed by the Viscount, it was useless no matter how much he said it was all false. At the moment, he just nodded and bowed and said with a smile: "Viscount

Your Excellency, it's really an honor to meet you in person. I just don't know... Why did you think of opening an Adventurer's Guild in our town? You should know that our town already has one... ahem

, Of course, I personally have no opinion on this matter! I just think that Laohu City is dozens of times larger than Pelican Town, so it should be more profitable for you to open in Laohu City, right?"

Although Round Cheese usually looks like he is jealous of money, Ai Luo is really grateful that he can still speak for himself in this situation.

The Viscount raised his head slightly, glanced at Ai Luo with a arrogant expression, and said with a smile: "No matter what, Laohu City is also within my territory. I can't return to my territory."

Start an adventurer's guild and grab your own business, right? But it's different in your town. Ah, isn't that President Arrow from Mermaid Song? From now on, we will be the managers of the same town. I hope

We can cooperate happily."

On the surface, Ai Luo had a smile on his face.

But secretly, his fists were already clenched tightly.

Now he is very sure that the Viscount definitely wants to defeat him in one fell swoop! The reason behind this is probably far from being as simple as robbing him of his business.

"Ah, it turns out to be the guild of His Excellency the Viscount. Of course, of course! I can feel more at ease if I can have a companion in the town."

After thinking for a moment, Ai Luo separated from the crowd and walked forward slowly under the gaze of everyone. He bowed slowly to the viscount and said with a smile——

"I hope we can cooperate more in the future. After all, right now, we have a problem that is very troublesome to us in Pelican Town."

Hearing Ai Luo's words, the eyes of all the townspeople present lit up! They all turned their attention to the ten members of the Honey Jar Guild!

Of course Ai Luo knows what he is talking about. The power of the dark monster has far exceeded the range that the Mermaid Song can handle. Especially now that he has lost the high priest of Holy Baker, he has not entered again at all.

The idea of ​​​​the basement of Neuschwanstein Castle came to mind.

But now, it's clear that this viscount is here to steal business. If he can't kill his majesty in one go, Mermaid Song will really not be able to hang out in Pelican Town in the future!
Chapter completed!
