"So, why did you come to me? Can you please explain this question in detail?"

Laohu City, the lord's official residence.

This official residence, which usually seemed very magnificent, now looked a bit dark and... dilapidated.

The heavily guarded horses at the entrance and the soldiers constantly patrolling around the city fully demonstrate the instability of the city at this moment. This unstable situation naturally reflects on this man who has always seemed very gentle.

On the polite Viscount.

Now Viscount Norris is still wearing a gorgeous aristocratic costume and a top hat. However, still wearing this kind of formal attire in his own home has fully demonstrated the somewhat shaky self-esteem in his heart.

From this point of view, this riot really tortured him quite a lot.

Poisonous Needle is now standing next to the Viscount, looking at the Mermaid Song people in front of him with a very alert look. It seems that as long as his master gives the order, he can immediately pounce on him and risk his life.

Tear the mermaid song into pieces.

Ai Luo also saw the looks in the eyes of Poison Needle and several other guards, and couldn't help but smile and said: "First of all, I am very grateful to the distinguished Viscount for opening the barrier and allowing me to come in. At such an extraordinary moment, I can still get

I, Aero Garcia, am truly honored by His Excellency the Viscount's trust."

Viscount Norris was not in a good mood to laugh.

In other words, at this time, he didn't even bother to put on any pretense and said directly: "You Mermaid Songs wore scarves and sneaked into my house as if you were afraid that someone would recognize you.

Di Qian said you wanted to see me, but I don’t think you guys are just idle and want to watch my jokes.”

Arrow nodded, the smile on his face was still very decent: "In that case, I will say it directly. Viscount Norris, although we have fought with each other several times, this kind of competition has also caused damage to us.

I spent a lot of money. But now, I hope to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation? Find me?"

Viscount Norris had a sneer on his face, as if he had heard a very unfunny joke——

"I never thought that one day I would be able to cooperate with the 'intelligent, powerful, and invincible President Aero Garcia'. And don't tell me that you are completely unaware of the mole incident in the honey jar..."

Haha, does it have something to do with you?"

Ai Luo also laughed and said: "As an enemy who wants to kill me, Mermaid Song, this kind of small revenge and response should be nothing, right?"

"Okay! It's you indeed! You bastard!!!"

Poisonous Needle, who was next to him, was naturally furious when he heard that Arrow had admitted it now, and was about to explode! But before he could take a step forward, he suddenly saw that Viscount Norris on the side had no reaction, and thought for a moment

, the assassin endured it, took a step back, and returned to his position.

It was also because of the return of the poisonous needle that Brad and William, who were standing in front of Arrow, slowly returned to their original positions, allowing their guild president to face the viscount again.

Ai Luo continued to smile and said: "Your Excellency, the Viscount, is extremely smart. There is really no point in lying in front of you."

Viscount Norris snorted coldly and said slowly: "If you admit it, that's fine. But can you tell me that you made me look like this? Why did you run up to me now with a shameless face, and then

You are saying that you need my help. You are not so naive as to think that I will help you immediately if you say this, right? To be honest, it doesn’t matter if I immediately order the soldiers to wipe out all of you Mermaid Song."

Ai Luo laughed out loud. This smile full of confidence made Norris opposite him look a little cautious.

Waiting until Ai Luo finished laughing, he said with a sullen face, "Why are you laughing?"

Arrow wiped the tears from laughter from the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said: "Oh, Viscount Norris, you are still asking me. If you had heard such a funny thing, you would have laughed, right? It's true.

I'm sorry, I may not be that well-educated, so my smile was a bit abrupt."

In this regard, Norris didn't say much. He was silent, as if waiting for the short president to continue speaking.

After adjusting his mentality a little, Ai Luo exhaled and said, "Let's go back to our previous topic, why do I think you, the Viscount, will come to help me? Well, the reason is actually very simple. Because...

…You need to do your best to contain our Mermaid Song for some reason, right? In order to achieve this goal, you will even lose money, right?"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the members of Mermaid Song behind showed surprised expressions.

Similarly, the members of the Honey Pot behind Viscount Norris, especially the poisonous needle, also looked surprised now.

Viscount Norris lowered his head and thought for a while, but did not express his attitude: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Seeing that the Viscount was still strictly guarding his secret, Ai Luo couldn't help but admire him, nodded and said: "No matter what, if your purpose is to stop our Mermaid Song from making money, then it is absolutely impossible for you to implement this kind of behavior."

The practice of purchasing iron products for the military. Because such behavior will only make Mermaid Song make money faster, which can be said to be contrary to your idea of ​​​​containment."

"It is precisely because you are absolutely impossible to be the one to carry out this economic war that I can come here to seek your help. And you, Viscount, also have this obligation to help Pelican Town and other three towns survive smoothly.

survive this economic war."

Norris snorted coldly, shook his head gently, and said slowly: "What you said is really funny. Even if I don't like your Mermaid Song, if someone wants to deal with you and Pelican Town, I will

What obligations do you have? Just because I appointed the mayors of these three towns?"

Ai Luo shook his head and smiled: "From a legal perspective, of course you are also obliged to assist in the security and management of these three towns. Of course, this is only from a legal perspective. Although the taxes of these three towns will

It will be concentrated in Laohu City, but it will also be turned over to the national treasury, so you, the lord, only play a management role and have no specific obligations."

"But, from another aspect, you do have the obligation to help these three towns break through this economic war. That is... the existence of our Mermaid Song."

Norris frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Ai Luo continued to smile and said: "It is precisely because of the existence of our Mermaid Song that if this economic war continues and the sales of iron products are not curbed, then our Mermaid Song can be sold through sales in a very short period of time.

A lot of iron products to raise a lot of money! I think that for our Mermaid Song to make so much money is not the result you want to see, right?"

Hearing what Arrow said, Norris couldn't help but lower his head and think about the problem carefully. After a while, he asked: "How long do you think it will take to earn 1,000 gold from Mermaid Song?"

?”

Ai Luo smiled and held out three fingers: "Three months, in fact, it may be shorter. If you don't help, then after three months, Mermaid Song can go to other places with the 1,000 gold coins earned."

Open a branch in the city. By then, your plan to prevent our Mermaid Song from making a lot of money will be in vain~~~"

The viscount frowned and lowered his head again to think carefully.

At this moment, Poisonous Needle behind him looked at his master, and then at Ai Luo here. After waiting for a while and seeing that Norris still had no intention of speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and he stepped forward and said:

"Mermaid Guild Leader! What evil plot are you planning?"

Ai Luo didn't have any particular aversion to poisonous needles.

After all, who would be disgusted with someone who always guesses his trap?

At that moment, Ai Luo showed him a very gentle smile and said slowly: "Conspiracy? How do you say this? President Poison Needle, you may be thinking too much."

Poisonous Needle was a little reluctant. He glanced at his master again and saw that Norris was still silent. He couldn't help but said nervously: "You still say that I think too much? Because this is simply impossible! You short guy

President, don’t think that you are great just because you have studied for a few years! It’s too unreasonable for you to lie to people, isn’t it? If you really follow what you say, then what will be the final result if our Lord Viscount joins forces with you?

It will only make it impossible for you to continue to make money! I am not a fool! How could a normal person come up with such a strange way to block his own financial path? "

Ai Luo nodded slightly, admiring the assassin's loyalty to his master. After all, no matter how bad stupidity is, it will most likely fall into the enemy's plan. But loyalty can make people feel at ease.

His conduct as a person.

Regarding the issue of poisonous needles, Ji Lian followed suit and took a step forward. He snorted and said with a smile: "I said that the president of the poisonous needles is too small for you, right? The reason why our president does this is completely

It's to save these three towns. It's for the townspeople. How are you like you? You only think about hurting people and making dirty money all day long, even if you really want to think about the people of Pelican Town.

With such a mentality, your Honey Jar Guild will not be able to operate in Pelican Town at all, right?"
