An understatement caused the heroic atmosphere that had been condensed into a solid stone to collapse in an instant.

Coco looked at her brother, the president, almost in disbelief.

Brad and Buffy couldn't help but open their mouths so wide that they could see the little tongues in their throats.

Even Napa, who had been there indifferently just now, just closing his eyes and concentrating, now raised his head in shock, his sapphire blue eyes looking at the guild leader who had been tossing all day long in disbelief.

However, Ai Luo did not pay any attention to the doubts of his own members. He just continued to use a gentle tone and said slowly to the completely desperate thief in front of him——

"Brother, did you make something wrong? Although what you said was very touching, I almost shed tears of sympathy when I heard it. But do you know what type of task you are entrusting?"

"You are entrusting a regular guild registered with the empire to confront another regular guild registered with the empire and eradicate it completely."

"To be more precise, this is no longer a task suitable for the guild. Your commission is an assassination targeting other guild members. If the Mermaid Song really takes over this task, then we and the people who specialize in taking over it will

There is no difference between mercenaries who do dirty work. But you should know that the Adventurer's Guild is not the same as mercenaries. Our Adventurer's Guild will never allow us to casually accept assassinations or extermination activities against humans or other intelligent races.

.This is not an adventure, but an act that puts our guild members in a completely dangerous situation. Brad, Buffy, Coco, you must understand this, our guild is definitely not a mercenary, and killing people is absolutely

It cannot be accepted easily.”

Coco, who originally wanted to say something, was turned back by Ai Luo's stern eyes. The magician pinched her dead branch and shrank her neck. After carefully recalling Ai Luo's words, she raised her head and looked up again.

To your own president.

After being exposed to Ai Luo's stern eyes again, she finally lowered her head, and the undead soldiers also turned into dust along with the skeleton dog that had already turned into dust.

Brad was stupid and didn't know how to refute President Arrow. He could only keep opening and closing his mouth, and after a while he finally managed to say: "Can't we... kill people casually? Even bad guys... can't kill them casually?

"

"We don't have the right to decide whether others deserve to die. If we think we have this power, then others can also have the right to decide whether we deserve to die. Do you want someone in this world to always think that you or Buffy deserve to die?"

?”

Brad might not have any opinions about it, but when it came to Buffy, the big man was startled and instinctively raised his hands to protect the flower fairy on his shoulders. At this time, he finally figured it out and sat silently.

Come down.

The same goes for Buffy. Using Brad's life as an example, she learned the concept of "the guild is not a hired killer" faster than Brad.

Seeing that his members finally agreed with this theory, Airl couldn't help but exhale.

You know, the members of your guild are all young and very impulsive. But as a mature adventurer, you must not act with your emotions anytime and anywhere. They must learn some rules and understand that even when they are most excited, they must learn some rules.

When doing so, you must also keep in mind some rules that impose restrictions on yourself.

Indulging your emotions may make you do the right thing. But more often than not, it will make you fall into a worse situation. In particular, these children cannot be allowed to feel that becoming an adventurer gives them the ability to take other people's lives at will.

The matter of power.

Power can be used to serve others, but if you let your emotions control the power, the power will come back to bite you. If you have no vigilance and awe at crossing the line of killing human life, then these children will most likely not get it in the future.

Good death.

Fortunately, they seemed to understand what they meant.

After teaching the members well, Ai Luo turned back to Ji Lian over there and continued to say in a arrogant tone: "As I just said, our guild will not accept the murder commission. At the same time, think about it from another angle, even if you

You can’t find professional mercenaries, right? How much money do you have to pay the bill? Even though the Iron Wolf Guild has been severely damaged, it is still a very powerful guild. The flame magician of the Eye of Truth is not a bad person either.

, how much do you think the magic crystal ring around your neck can cover the cost? Haha, even the wealth created by the animal traps I set up in the Shining Forest is probably worth more than you."

Arrow waved his hand, not wanting to talk about the current topic anymore. He asked Brad and Coco to clear the dishes, while he continued to sit in front of the completely dull Cream with a lazy expression, squinting his eyes and said:

"For the sake of the business you introduced to me, it's already late now, so you can stay at my place for one night, and I won't charge you any fees. Don't blame me for being ruthless, and don't blame me for being too greedy for life.

It is really……"

He sighed and said in a very regretful tone——

"Our guild is really not strong enough. Even if we want to help you, we can't help you. Brad, Coco and Buffy are all simple, and they are very weak. I don't want them to die because of this matter."

After a long while, Ji Lian nodded gently, with a pale face, and hummed softly in a weak voice like a person dying of illness.

With Ji Lian's response, Ai Luo, the guild leader, also stood up and began to go about his business. The entire guild hall was silent. Except for the flickering lights on the surrounding walls, everything seemed to have stopped.

Generally, it turns into deathly silence.

Brad and Coco didn't dare to come up and talk to William when they passed by the hall. Maybe they also knew that there was no point in saying anything now.

Time ticks...tick...tick...

The originally busy guild hall gradually became quieter as the night progressed.

From the moment he extinguished the last hope of Mermaid Song, Ji Lian knew that he was sentenced to death.

Wolfe and Merlin will never let themselves die too easily. All of this is because of their greed, because of their persistence in gold and silver treasures, because of their feelings for Ruila... And these beautiful "dreams"

", it can be said that it was destroyed by his own hands in the end. I helplessly... watched everything, everything, turn into ashes...

The fingers were raised, trembling.

He fumbled and took off the pendant hanging around his neck, and took off the magic crystal ring he carefully selected.

The dark magic crystal contains impurities, and the magic power it contains is simply insignificant to those magicians.

Although it was not a valuable item, he even thought that after looting the Viscount, he could exchange it for a larger, higher-level magic crystal ring.

But even with such a small ring, he had dreamed of such a beautiful day...

On that day, he can face the sun, kneel solemnly in front of his beloved, say the words he has prepared for a long time, and then put this ring on the ring finger of his beloved.

On that most beautiful day, everything will become colorful. He will no longer think about the fact that he is a street gangster, nor will he want to return to the street full of filth and deceit.

Everything can start from that most beautiful day and become better...even better...

"Goooo...!"

Suddenly, Cream's teeth clenched tightly.

He hugged the ring with both hands, and his eyes that were originally filled with sadness and despair were once again filled with anger.

"Wolf Face, Merlin Darkspeaker... do you want to kill me? OK, I will kill you too!"

"I won't run away anymore. Even if it means death, I will drag you to death together! The entrance to hell is prepared for people like us. In this line of work, you must have thought about this day, right? Then, we

Just come and give it a try!”

As soon as he thought of it, Cream drank all the milk in the cup and stood up again.

But what to do next?

He began to think about his current situation. But soon, he suddenly thought of what he just heard the mermaid president say!

Shining forest, trap!

While thinking of these words, he began to close his eyes and carefully recall the state in which the short president said these words.

As he thought about it, the two decorative daggers on the short president's belt immediately popped into his mind.

Thinking of the two daggers, Ji Lian looked at the two broken daggers he had inserted on the table.

In this case, you're welcome. Cream pulled out the broken dagger and inserted it into the scabbard. After making sure that no one was in the hall and seeing that the cat was lying on the cushion and sleeping soundly, he tiptoed towards the storage room at the back of the hall.

Go to the room.

Pushing open the door of the storage room, the lights in the huge space have been extinguished. However, from a distance, you can see the short president and the necromancer standing together, walking to a side with iron shields, hammers, and leather hanging on them.

In front of the wall of A.

"Brother President, are we...really not going to help that thief? He is very pitiful...Although we can't kill people, we can still help him escape, right?"

Ji Lian couldn't help but be touched by the Necromancer's kindness, but he still hid his figure in the darkness and slowly approached the two people in front of him. From a distance, he could see the short man's waist.

of two short swords.

"Why do you want to help him so much? Is it because of the magician of the Eye of Truth?"

"Isn't it? That's a bad guy's guild with members of that evil magician organization!"

"Then let me ask you, Coco, is it true that as long as you have been a member of this magician organization, regardless of whether you are a member of this organization now or not, you will always be a bad person and will never have the possibility of becoming a good person?"

The Necromancer was speechless for a moment when he was asked.

Hiding in the dark, Ji Lian saw the corner of the little girl's mouth twitching slightly. After a while, she finally gave up and stopped saying anything.

The short president smiled, stretched out his hand to rub the Necromancer's head, and at the same time took off the two daggers from his waist, placed them neatly on the wall racks, and then said: "Yes.

"Please cocoa, don't go to Shining Forest for a while. In order to save some food expenses, I have placed a lot of traps in the forest. If you go and accidentally fall into the trap, you will be in trouble."

The little necromancer was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "Brother, President, is our economic situation really that bad? Do we all need to start hunting game for food?"

The short president smiled and continued to reassure his guild members: "That's not true, it's just better than nothing. But if you accept some missions recently and must enter the Shining Forest, remember, I'm next to the trap.

The trees must have been marked. I have installed a total of eight traps, and I have recorded the rough map of the traps."

As he said that, the president took out a piece of paper from his arms, placed it on a low table next to him, and said with a smile: "It's getting late now. Come and take a closer look tomorrow when you are free. That's fine too.

Ask Brad to come over and take note of it, so as to avoid any problems in the forest."

The Necromancer nodded.

The two people in Mermaid Song slowly walked out of the storage room while talking.

William waited until the door was completely closed, and lurked in the darkness for a long time, making sure that no one could disturb him. Then he rushed towards the place where the short president had placed his weapons, and silently lit them.

Fire break.

He took down the two daggers without hesitation, put down the fire break, and pulled out the scabbards.

The edge of the fang dagger still exudes a breathtaking light even in such a dark environment. The sharp blade and slightly curved blade make Ji Lian's heart beat faster!

He thrust the two daggers into his waist with a happy face, then walked to the small table, picked up the map and took a look.

"If I can come back alive, I'll just pretend that I got lucky with your help. I'll apologize to you and kowtow until you're satisfied. But if I don't come back, you'll spend some money to help me with my funeral.

Alright."

After saying that, Cream kicked the map into his arms and quickly ran out of the storage room. After grabbing some bread and cakes in the kitchen, he quietly opened the door of the guild and disappeared into the night of Pelican Town like a puff of smoke.

Down.
