Two hundred and sixtieth chapters under heavy money
Regarding this question, Margaux seemed to have been prepared for it. She nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Oh, this? It's actually very simple. Because we thought, no matter what we say, this Corpse Eater King is
It was shipped from your Pelican Town. Since Mermaid Song is the guild of Pelican Town, it should naturally be more skilled in dealing with this kind of monster. Let professional people do the professional things, maybe our Lord Earl's
Soldiers are stronger than you Mermaid Song in terms of combat effectiveness, but in terms of professionalism, they may not be as good as you~~~"
To be honest, this reason is totally fine.
Ai Luo really can't think of any words to refute this reason.
But to be honest, he really didn't want to accept this commission.
The strength of Mermaid Song lies in its unity, and also in the continuous support that Pelican Town can provide to its own guild.
But now, Mermaid Song has left its own territory and gone to other cities. It has to face the underground passage system of a big city that has never been explored before, and then it has to face the corpse that it has turned into.
King of Hunters, such a mission is too dangerous, and the coefficient of uncertainty is too high.
But seeing Count Garp like this, he probably wouldn't allow himself to just give up without doing anything, right?
Hmm... let's try it first.
"Dear Earl, I'm afraid the difficulty of this task is a bit——"
"If everyone in Mermaid Song is unwilling to accept this case, then I can only ask you to stay here indefinitely."
Margaux seemed to have directly guessed what Ai Luo was thinking, and directly blocked Ai Luo's mouth with a sentence. The mistress waved slightly, and the soldiers around him stepped forward as if they had received instructions.
The first step is to threaten Mermaid Song.
Seeing such a battle, Brad, Buffy, Coco, and Cream behind them all couldn't help but become alert. But before they could react, Ai Luo had already reached out his hand to stop them from taking a fighting stance.
.
"I'm afraid the difficulty of this task is a bit high. Correspondingly, we, Mermaid Song, should be able to obtain a considerable level of reward after completing the task, right?"
Facing Ai Luo, Margot tilted her head. Her slightly vermilion eyes looked at him from head to toe as if she wanted to see through the president's thoughts, and then she laughed again:
"The reward will definitely not be small. After completing this task... look, how about ten gold coins?"
If it were before, Ai Luo might really think that this is a huge amount of money.
But there is no other way. Now that I am used to seeing a lot of money, these ten gold coins in front of me can only be regarded as a warm-up, right?
At that moment, Ai Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "I think the price must be increased at least ten times, right? After all, what we have to face is a group of people who will immediately turn people into
The unknown zombie monster.”
Margaux turned his head and looked at Count Garp. The earl seemed to feel some pain in his heart and his face was full of reluctance. But under the hint of Margaux's eyes, he finally nodded and said: "As long as you
Can solve this trouble! As long as... you can kill those damn monsters, all the zombies! Even those who are only slightly injured! One hundred gold coins... then one hundred gold coins! But you
But you must promise me! After entering the underground system... I must kill everything in there! I don't want to leave any future troubles!"
At this point, Ai Luo finally laughed out loud. He nodded seriously, took out the power of attorney and pen that he had prepared long ago, wrote down the entrustment matters clearly on it, and handed it to Count Garp.
Count Garp was also unambiguous and signed his name in the column of the client. At this point, the trust was established.
"Well, now that the commission has been established, we, Mermaid Song, will take over this job. Now we want to make some preparations and take a rest. But I don't know if there are any empty rooms on the earl's side that can accommodate the people of our guild.
Are you ready? Wait until tomorrow and we will immediately go to the underground system of Tianhe City to carry out the crusade against the Corpse Eater King."
The empty room was not a problem. Count Garp quickly asked the maid to arrange a room for Mermaid Song to stay. After everyone in Mermaid Song left the room, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked completely exhausted.
He collapsed on the sofa with as much energy as he could.
"That's it, right?"
After taking a long breath, Count Garp turned his head and looked at Margaux.
Margaux just smiled, but the countess opposite snorted coldly, stood up and left, no longer caring about the affairs of these two bastards.

Corpse eater.
A kind of mermaid song can be regarded as a monster that has been dealt with many times.
It grows in the mines of the Everlasting Mountains. Its specific origin is unknown, but it has strong strength against slashing and striking weapons, and is not even afraid of fire magic. If you want to kill it, you must use a sharp weapon to pierce it.
heart, so that it can be killed.
During the entire night of rest, Arrow's mind was filled with all kinds of information about corpse eaters.
In fact, he has memorized those monster illustrations by heart, but now he still takes them out and looks at them from time to time when he has nothing to do, and also to see if there is any content that can be updated.
So much so that when he got up in the morning and had breakfast, he read it again to make sure that there were no errors in his memory and the illustrated book before he felt relieved.
Mermaid Song's rectification operation did not last too long. After breakfast, they checked all the equipment on their bodies and took a look at the bloody beads, antidotes, and magic healing aerosols in their pockets.
Under the guidance of a soldier, the talent walked towards the backyard of the Earl's mansion.
The backyard of the official residence can be considered to be built close to the cliff of the entire Tianhe City. In a corner of the backyard, after the soldiers opened a door attached to the cliff, a dark and bottomless passage appeared inside.
.
Looking at this passage, the soldier leading the way had no intention of taking another step inside. As of now, only Mermaid Song continued to move forward. That is, when everyone entered the passage and had not taken a few steps, the people behind him
The soldiers had already closed the door without stopping, and then the sound of blockade could be heard from outside.
"Hey! What do you mean? The one who invited us to destroy the monsters or the one who locked us up?!"
Brad was so angry that he strode to the door and wanted to raise his hammer and hit it.
But Ai Luo still stopped him and said with a smile: "They are afraid, we should understand this situation. After all, they just gave us a hundred gold coins to let us work."
Brad curled his lips, and now he could only take out a torch and light it to act as a source of light for the crowd.
William looked at the tightly sealed iron door and said, "President Arrow, what do you think of this mission?"
Ai Luo shrugged, turned his head and looked at the well-manicured passage ahead, paved with marble and lamp posts, and said slowly: "What do you think? How can I look at being forced to take on the task? Although I can be sure that this
The earl must really hope that we go back alive, but I am also very sure that he has no intention of paying us as much as 100 gold coins."
Hearing Ai Luo say such words, everyone was slightly relieved. Coco then waved and summoned the undead soldiers and skeleton dogs. She leaned next to Ai Luo and said: "Brother President, why didn't that fat earl
Is he going to pay us? Is he going to default on the bill?"
Brad also nodded and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Yes, yes, President, how did you know that the earl wanted us to go back alive? I don't think he wanted us to live at all.
Well."
Ai Luo raised his head and smelled the smell in the air. So far, there was no smell of blood. It seemed that there should be no problems on this section of the road.
At the moment, he led his family members away and said: "As I said before, there is no conflict of interest between us and Count Garp. He has no need to trouble us, let alone come to kill us. These have helped him a lot.
Busy 'comrade'."
"I've said it many times before, right? We humans are intelligent creatures. No matter how stupid a person seems, his actions will definitely follow the action logic of intelligent creatures."
"Killing one's 'comrades' for no reason is an act that is completely meaningless and will waste money. When such an act has no benefit at all to oneself, it is impossible for anyone to do such a thing that goes against their own interests."
"So, the count definitely didn't call us here just to kill us. Because that would be too wasteful, not smooth at all, and not even thrifty at all. A big noble, especially one with a lot of wealth, wants to eliminate a remote small town.
There are really too many ways for the small guild in the town, and there is absolutely no need to choose such a wasteful method."
When the members of Mermaid Song heard their guild leader talk about how to "eliminate the guild frugally", they all looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were really as embarrassing as they could be.
However, Ai Luo seemed not to notice, and continued as he walked: "Now that we are sure that the count will never call us here just to kill us, let's move on to the next question. Does the count really want to?
