Chapter 223 For the sake of money, it doesn't matter if innocent people die
Arrow was stunned for a moment, then turned back and said with a smile: "Do you know Viscount Norris?"
Viscount Rich snorted: "We can't say we know each other, we just met a few times and talked a few times. Hey, after all, I am also a viscount, and I am also a noble! How about you know that nobles are very common!
"
Ai Luo immediately put on a smile, nodded and said: "Of course! I knew that Viscount Rich was a very great person. You are so handsome, charming and suave, no wonder so many girls like you~~~!
"
Hearing these flattering words, Viscount Rich felt warm and comfortable. He nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Hahaha! I know you are very knowledgeable and can see my advantages!"
Get up, you are the first among men to praise me like this~~~Hahaha!"
Airl smiled, noncommittal.
After Viscount Rich finished enjoying himself, Arrow continued to ask: "So, what kind of person is Viscount Norris? Do you know?"
Viscount Rich pouted and thought for a moment, then said: "On the surface... this is a person who seems to be very polite. He is also very decent in dealing with others. And although he is a noble, compared to other people with such
A noble with real power and territory, I heard that not many people died at his hands. He should be a character who is not very interested in killing."
"Besides... Although he was born into a noble family, his title was just a false name, and his family had no territory. After that, he joined the army and went to the battlefield, which was the battle between the Hunter Empire and the Hunter Sea Empire more than ten years ago.
Our country’s first border war. I heard that it was during that war that he made meritorious service, and that’s why he was granted the territory.”
A retired soldier, a person who tolerates and does not let his emotions be vented everywhere. Being able to achieve military success in war proves that he also has courage and wisdom... He seems to be a really difficult guy to deal with.
After thinking about it, Ai Luo continued to smile and asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Others? Well... this..." Viscount Rich thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said happily, "I heard that after joining the army, he studied under a very famous nobleman and became a
His student studies military strategy, politics, economics, etc. He is one of the outstanding students who belongs to that big noble family! Which big noble he is specifically... Hmm... I can't remember."
Hearing this, Ai Luo could not help but feel a chill running down his spine.
Haha, I just hope that I won't fall into the endless loop mode of losing one person and then another one popping up later? That would be too tiring.
But it's too early to think so. What really needs to be considered now is whether or not I can pass the hurdle in front of me.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After all the townspeople dispersed, only Airl continued to stand at the south exit, looking at the castle that always stood under the sunset.
The white-painted walls and the gray-black walls burned by fire create a very patchy visual sense in the sun, just like the name of the castle - Granite Castle, Swan Castle. People don't know what to think of it.
I don't know if it has become truly holy now? Or is it still shrouded in the darkness that cannot be seen directly.
As the sun slowly dropped towards the other side of the mountains, Airl's mood became more and more nervous.
He sat on a mound next to the exit, clasping his hands together, almost counting his intense heartbeats to survive this long time.
Not coming back for so long doesn't mean it's a good thing.
Perhaps the members of the Honey Jar were well trained and had a lot of observation before they launched their attack?
God knows how many methods can be used to test the weakness and bottom line of that monster with abundant resources, perfect logistical support, complete equipment, and rich props.
What's more, my own Mermaid Song had just explored that basement not long ago, and at the last critical moment, Uncle Holy Bake used a light magic that looked very powerful even though he didn't quite understand the effect.
If this light magic has weakened the monster very well, and now the people in the honey jar are doing the final harvesting, then have I made the biggest mistake in my life?
The more he thought about it, the more Ai Luo felt that his thoughts were a little unstable and his emotions were a little abnormal.
Even though it was bad to think this way, he still began to pray that the power that Uncle Saint Bread had exploded at the last moment of his life would not be able to harm this monster.
Sigh... When I was in school, the professor once said personally that the harvesting of capital will make capitalists completely disregard fairness and justice. Even the kindest person will turn into a bloodthirsty person after becoming a trader of capital.
monster.
In the past, Arrow only verbally agreed with these theories in exam papers and graduation defenses, but in his heart he still felt that no matter how powerful money was, it could not turn the kindest person into a devil, right?
But now, when he began to realize that he sincerely hoped that the adventurers who had no grudges against him would be killed and injured and return in failure...
He believed it.
"Brother President, why don't you go back?"
As the sun went down, the lights in the town slowly turned on. Coco came over with a plate of bread and frowned after taking a look at the untouched food box at Ai Luo's feet.
.
"Even if you don't go back, you won't have lunch. Do you have to worry so much about the people in other guilds?"
Coco put the plate in her hand on the mound aside, walked up to Ai Luo with some complaints, and took his hand: "Brother Ai Luo, I know you mean well, but it's not the best way to worry about those people all the time?
Whether they can solve it or not, it is beyond our control."
Seeing the little girl comforting himself so much, Ai Luo couldn't help but exhale and said with a smile: "I know, I'm just worried... You think about it, Uncle Saint Bread spent so much effort to allow us to escape, I
I am really worried about the life safety of those adventurers... Although they have not come to buy information about this monster from us, for the sake of the safety of Pelican Town, I still hope to cooperate with them."
Coco smiled and said: "I know that the president, brother, has the best heart! But do you plan to just wait like this? You'd better go back."
Airl looked towards the Swan Castle again, and there was still no movement there. The sky was almost dark, and the dark castle was almost covered by the night.
After thinking about it, he began to feel that it was a bit stupid to wait like this. After all, it was really useless...
"All right!"
With this in mind, Ai Luo stood up from the mound, stretched, and rubbed his slightly stiff shoulders. But just when he turned around and was about to leave, the answer he had been waiting for all day came.
It appeared at this time.
some people.
Some people who looked very embarrassed, rolled and crawled, and looked like they were being chased by something, with panic expressions, ran out of the Neuschwanstein Castle.
Originally, they entered ten people, but now there are only eight figures running towards the town in the distance.
As they ran closer and closer, Airl could see the expressions on their faces more and more clearly.
No matter they are the strongest warriors, the priests who are most devout to the light, or even the assassins who should know the most about cunning and darkness, no one in this team can maintain a normal expression right now.
When they saw the light on this side of the town, it was as if they felt unprecedented hope from the deepest despair!
When he rushed into Pelican Town, Ai Luo could clearly feel a sense of relief and relaxation on their faces, as if they had finally been saved.
It was also when these adventurers who had lost their armor and were in great embarrassment ran into Pelican Town with tears and frightened expressions...
"Oh my god, they went to visit ten people, but only eight came back! It's such a pity..."
In words, Arrow showed great empathy.
But secretly, the feeling that had been holding on to him all day was finally let go.
——March 17, 1302, food expenses: -2 silver, 3 coppers, 1 iron, money laundering income: 2 gold, account balance: 479 gold, 5 silver, 2 coppers, 7 iron (money laundering: -4 gold, stolen money balance: 30 gold, 7
Silver 7 Bronze)——
Judging from the results, did anything good happen?
Well, if there is the only happy thing that can be found in this terrible situation, then seeing that the Honey Jar Guild has been silent for three consecutive days after suffering that setback, this should be it now.
The best news in this terrible environment.
When I thought of this, the trouble caused by keeping a whiteboard on the account books during these days finally eased a little.
Ai Luo took a long breath and stood in front of the bulletin board, looking at the page that was cleaner than his face.
Although the current environment has eased slightly, the general direction has not changed, and everything has not changed qualitatively. If you want to make money, you still have to think more carefully about what to do now...
Turning his head and looking at the now empty guild, Ai Luo remembered that all the members had gone outside to practice. Without working time, they had a lot of time to practice. Especially after the death of Holy Wagon, these
Each of the members was working hard, and although they didn't say anything explicitly, Ai Luo still understood what they were thinking.
Swan Castle, the devil in the basement.
