Compared with last year's Holy Night Festival, this year's is obviously more lively.

Part of the reason is that Pelican Town has shown obvious signs of expansion after this investment, and the permanent population here has begun to increase.

On the other hand, it may also be because Viscount Norris is now promoting a lot of this guild war.

Various propaganda for this guild war can be seen everywhere on the road, on the walls, and on banners hanging in the air. The most eye-catching ones on the promotional brochure are the big logo of Lagoon City and Norris Pike.

Coat of arms of the Viscount of Sass.

Presumably after such a large-scale publicity, no one will think that there is any connection between the guild war and his own Mermaid Song in the future, right? Wait until next year, if this lord wants to move the guild war to Laohu City

If held inside, the difficulty will be much lower in comparison.

It's just...

"Haha, it really cost him a lot of money."

Looking at the various promotions, various shops and numerous promotions on the street, Ai Luo really felt that the cost of this promotion must be a large sum of more than four figures.

After all, if you want to steal business from yourself, you can't justify it without spending some money.

While watching, I walked through the crowd, took a look at the rebuilt large arena, and then walked to the office of Mayor Round Cheese.

Knocking on the door, the mayor's wife opened the door. After seeing Ai Luo, the mayor's wife immediately greeted him very warmly, and quickly asked Ai Luo to come in, while shouting loudly into the room.

With a smile on his face, Ai Luo paid tribute to the mayor's wife and walked into the office. But as soon as he entered the office, the smile on his face solidified at this moment.

"President Aero?! You are finally back! How was your journey to Mermaid Song? Is everything going well?!"

The happiest person to see Arrow was Mayor Round Cheese.

The chubby mayor suddenly jumped up from behind his desk, ran over happily, grabbed Airl's hand, and shook it up and down vigorously.

Ai Luo also smiled and nodded at the mayor. Then, he turned his eyes to another corner of the office.

Over there, the old sugar-coated wine gentleman was sitting on a sofa, his face glowing red. He looked very happy when he saw Airl, and he also smiled at him.

On the left side of this sugar-coated wine old gentleman, stood the lord of Lagoon City—Norris Paxus.

To his right stood a burly man who looked to be about twenty-five or six years old. His face was covered with various scars. He smiled contemptuously when he saw Airl.

"President Arrow, come on! Mr. Sugarcoated Wine and I just talked about you! We said it would be great if you could come back before the finals. Isn't that right? We just said that and you came back! This

It’s really great!”

Round Cheese welcomed Ai Luo in, then turned his head to look at the sugar-coated wine over there, and said with a somewhat respectful expression: "Excuse me... Mr. Sugar-Coated Wine, can you let President Ai Luo join our conversation?"

Sugar-coated wine nodded slightly, and looked at Ai Luo's expression, which was even more full of joy. He smiled and said: "What's wrong? President Ai Luo and I are also old friends, and we just chat casually now.

Let’s chat, let this kid Ai Luo sit down next to you.”

Since Sugar-Coated Wine agreed, Round Cheese asked Airl to sit down on the chair on the other side. Then, Round Cheese returned to his desk and continued: "Mr. Sugar-Coated Wine, our guild war is held this time.

It’s even more exciting, and the money earned is almost 20% more than last year! Oh my, this achievement is really thanks to your investment, Mr. Sugar-coated Wine, and the vigorous publicity of His Excellency Viscount Norris!”

Norris smiled slightly, leaned slightly and said: "I have no contribution myself. I basically rely on the good foundation laid by President Mermaid Song. I just add bricks and mortar, and I can't take any credit."

Hearing what Norris said, the scarred man standing on the other side of the sugar-coated wine snorted softly. He looked up and down at Ai Luo in front of him, looking at this idea, he was very small to him.

The skinny Guild President's contemptuous expression became even more unscrupulous: "I heard that Mermaid Song went out to annihilate a guild this time? Haha, it seems that you are doing a good job. How many people have you hired to wipe your ass?

ah?"

In response to Scarface's ridicule, Sugar-Coated Wine raised his hand to stop it slightly. Then, the old gentleman leaned forward slightly and said to Ai Luo with a smile in a very gentle tone: "President Ai Luo,

May I ask how your trip turned out?"

What is supposed to come will eventually come. No matter how polite the person in front of you speaks, it is impossible for the nature of this matter to change in any way.

Ai Luo breathed out, then laughed and said: "It went smoothly, everything went according to the planned plan."

Hearing that Ai Luo said everything went well, Sugar-Coated Wine nodded slightly and continued: "You weren't injured, were you? Was it hard along the way? Did the people from Night Fang and Heavenly Light give you any trouble?

How are they treating you?"

Seeing that Sugar-Coated Wine was so concerned about the president of Mermaid Song in front of him, the expressions of Norris and the scar-faced man also changed slightly, and some question marks appeared.

Ai Luo spread his hands openly and said: "I'm fine. The people of Heaven's Light and Night Fang are also very good. After arriving, I ate and drank well, and I didn't feel unhappy at all."

"Really? That's good, that's good."

Seeing Ai Luo say this, Sugarcoat Wine seemed to be relieved. He leaned back on his seat again and still had a smile on his face when looking at Ai Luo.

However, the scar-faced man on the side couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "President Arrow, since everything is going according to plan, when are you going to settle the account? How about today? I heard that you

The account is not a small amount."

Ai Luo looked at the scarred face and said after a moment of silence: "Who is this?"

Scarface sneered and took a step forward: "The president of the Sea Shark Guild, the man-eating whale Big Wave. At the same time, he is also one of the winning candidates for this guild war!"

Ai Luo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I would like to ask this president, what does the account between me and Mr. Sugar-coated Wine have to do with you? Or are you planning to do something strange after Mr. Sugar-coated Wine gets the money?

Something weird?"

The corner of the man-eating whale's mouth twitched slightly, but then he opened it, revealing some blade-like teeth: "I have long heard that the mermaid president is very good at talking, but now it seems that he is really well-deserved? Hey, mermaid, since you are now

I’m almost out of money, so I’ll definitely participate in the Guild Championship next year, right? Hahaha, it looks like it’s really interesting.”

Ai Luo shrugged: "Why, the Sea Shark Guild will also participate? I didn't expect that a person like you, who looks like he has been stabbed in the face by countless people, is also a new adventurer? Your combat effectiveness is worrying, President Julang."

"you!"

"Man-eating whale, that's enough."

Unable to listen, Tangyijiu finally opened his mouth to scold the scar-faced man.

Even though this man-eating whale has such a photogenic face, after hearing Sugar-coated Wine’s scolding, it shrank involuntarily. It no longer looked like a man-eating whale, but shrank back like a docile dolphin.

went.

But it was obvious that after shrinking back, he opened his mouth slightly (harmoniously) towards Airo, putting on a very fierce look. That expression was clearly saying, "Then, look at my sea shark."

Eat you mermaid"!

After getting rid of this guy, Ai Luo looked back at Sugar-coated Wine and said with a smile: "Mr. Sugar-coated Wine, since I promised the money, I will never go back on it. I originally planned to see when you would come, since you are here now

Here, you can come back to the guild with me later, and I will give you the remaining two hundred gold."

Sugar-coated wine nodded gently and said with a smile: "It's really not surprising at all to do business with President Arrow. Okay! Then wait... Norris, you can go with President Arrow.

"

Norris nodded to the sugar-coated wine very respectfully: "Yes, teacher."

Then, Sugar-Coated Wine turned to Arrow again and said: "Now that we have settled the account this time, my worries here are over. President Arrow, before we say goodbye, I might as well say something to you here,

Sometimes you really don’t need to be so serious. Just like what an old man like me said, the old man will not let you suffer in many cases. You just treat it as a play, and do whatever you want after the game is over.

Just treat the boring family drinking game as an interesting experience in life, that's it, how about it?"

After saying this, Tangyijiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that Ai Luo still had that calm smile on his face, and sighed slightly. Then he shook his head, stood up, said goodbye to the round cheese, turned around and left.

The man-eating whale Big Wave escorted the sugar-coated wine away. Ai Luo had a few words with Round Cheese and asked for a few tickets for the Guild War decisive battle before he got up and left. Afterwards, Norris also accompanied Ai Luo to leave.

Went to the mayor's mansion and walked towards the direction of the guild.

Two people walked one behind the other.

Ai Luo put his hands behind his back and didn't care at all about his current pace. He was very content and stepped forward easily. He didn't seem to care at all what the guy following behind him thought.

Norris looked at the back of the short president in front of him, and a victorious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The emotions that had been suppressed seemed to be released at this moment, and he held his head completely high, showing peace and harmony.
