Even though Wolfe had imagined countless things that Arrow might say in his mind, this sentence was beyond his expectation. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Making peace? Are you making peace with me?! Hahaha! This is really the funniest joke I have heard today. You seem really crazy, so crazy that you don't know what you are talking about.

But it’s okay, if you die madly, you will at least avoid a lot of pain.”

"I'm not joking with you, I really want to make peace with you." Under the threat of death, the smile that had disappeared at the corner of Ai Luo's mouth now rose again. He was smiling.

So confident, it seems that it is not this Wolf who is in charge of the situation now, but him, "Believe me, making peace with our Mermaid Song will definitely do more good than harm to you. You will get a lot of benefits, these benefits

It far outweighs the benefits you can bring by killing us."

Seeing Ai Luo's smiling face, Wolff's original arrogance involuntarily restrained himself.

He looked at the short president in front of him carefully, and his brain was thinking hard. But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what benefits this guy could give him. Could it be that he wanted to buy himself with money?

This life? If that's the case, it's not too late to kill these guys after getting the money. Anyway, the Mermaid Song's strength is just that.

Of course, if this short president dares to make any strange move, I can make all his lies disappear with one blow.

"Tell me, how do you want to beg for mercy? Do you want to buy your lives with money?"

Ai Luo simply put his hands behind his back, showing that he was absolutely non-threatening, and said with a smile: "Buying a life? No, no, no, this is really too low-end, and I can't guarantee that you won't do it after I give you the money."

Continue to kill us. Our guild's strength is just like this, and I can't guarantee that you won't kill us."

Wolfe lowered his head slightly: "Then what do you want to use to make peace?"

Ai Luo smiled. This smile was full of professionalism and warmth like spring breeze. It seemed that what he was facing now was not an enemy who was about to take his life, but an enemy who was about to deliver money to him.

Valued customer.

"President Wolf, first of all, let me guess what your life goal is."

Arrow said something first, then paused to confirm that Wolfe had not stopped his will before continuing——

"Even if I was tempted by the mage Merlin at the beginning, the ultimate purpose of attacking the Viscount's Mansion should be money. Killing is just a last resort for money."

"Then it's obvious, President Wolfe, what you want is a lot of wealth. As for whether to kill people or not, whether you kill any bastard depends on the concept of making money."

Wolf thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Go on."

"Now that we know that President, your idea is to make money, let us first assume that if you kill all of us in Mermaid Song now, what will happen next?"

Wolfe: "What happened? What else could happen."

Ai Luo: "Haha, according to my judgment, things will develop like this next."

"It doesn't matter that you will run away immediately after killing us. But after that, all the citizens of Pelican Town will find out that our guild has been completely wiped out."

"Even if the townspeople don't feel sorry for the annihilation of our guild, some people will care about the survival of our guild."

"Tax Collector."

"Every autumn, it's the time when tax officials begin to travel throughout the Blue Bay Empire and start going to various towns to collect taxes. Soon, those tax officials will arrive in Pelican Town, and they will not be able to see our tax revenue from Mermaid Song.

And after there is no one around, naturally we will soon find out from the townspeople that there was a battle between our Mermaid Song and your Iron Wolf Guild, and then they were all wiped out."

"Of course, it's not unusual for the Iron Wolf Guild to completely wipe out our Mermaid Song. A big guild like yours should be able to crush our guild in all aspects, both in terms of strength and economy. So the demise of our guild is such a big deal.

This incident will not cause any psychological pressure on you. At most, Tie Lang will be charged with a 'private fight' and fined."

Wolfe: "Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of those charges?"

Ai Luo shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "Of course, what I am talking about is not a crime or a fine. It is another thing that is very important to our guild - reputation."

"These days, whether you are a mercenary, a guild, or even a bandit gang, reputation is very important. I don't mean a good reputation, but the reputation of 'powerful'."

"President Wolf, have you ever thought about it? Our Mermaid Song is a small guild that has only been established for less than two months. The total combat strength of the guild is only one warrior and a necromancer. But in the era of annihilation,

We are a small guild with only two combatants. The total of ten people you brought out this time, including a flame mage, were all wiped out except for you?"

"'Facing a guild with only two combatants, Iron Wolf actually paid the price of nine combatants being killed!' What do you think other people will think when this matter is spread through the tax officer?"

In an instant, Wolfe, who had seemed very calm just now, was shocked. His expression showed that he had never thought about this matter.

Seeing that his words finally began to have an effect, Arrow continued: "The leader of the Iron Wolf, Wolf Fiss, is his combat power so weak? He led nine people to kill two adventurers and an ordinary person.

Paying such a high price? Does this person live up to his reputation? In other words, does this president not know how to lead a team at all? Is he really that strong? Will those who follow him do the opposite?

Have you been tricked by him?"

"I believe these questions will spread among people soon. By then, even the adventurers who want to join the Iron Wolf Guild will probably weigh your weight, let alone come to your guild to carry out tasks entrusted to them.

Make a decision again. And as I said just now, even if it is a guild on the surface, a bandit gang behind the scenes also needs a reputation. No guy who wants to be a bandit wants to join a guild that sounds weak and doesn't know how to lead anything.

Team, a gang of robbers who will kill all their men at every turn."

"In this way, President Wolf, for a long time to come, at least until these rumors disappear, you will have to rely on working alone to re-establish your reputation in the industry. But we should all know that being single

How difficult is it for a one-person adventurer to complete a mission? If you have to do it alone, I'm afraid not many people will be willing to give you the job. If you insist on it, I'm afraid it will only be some digging sewers and killing hooks.

Missions like the Tooth Rat are just tasks that can make people starve to death. In this case, wouldn’t it run counter to your desire to make a lot of money, Chairman Wolfe?”

Arrow's words were temporarily stopped, because from Wolfe's expression, he already knew that his words had an effect.

A worried look appeared on his face, and the knife stuck in Ai Luo's neck involuntarily moved a little outward.

"you you……!"

Wolfe wanted to refute a few words, but he found that he could not refute a word. It seemed that as long as this knife really cut down, he would really have to dig out the sewers and kill hook-toothed rats in the next few years.

For a living.

And...thinking about it, this kind of encounter seems very likely to happen!

"So... how do you want to make peace with me? No matter how much you say, all my people are dead. I let you go, but you ran out and said that you Mermaid Song defeated my iron army with just the fighting power of two people.

If the wolves are almost completely wiped out, wouldn’t I lose even more face?!”

Thinking of this, Wolfe's long knife involuntarily pressed down on Airl's neck again! But this time it was obvious that he was a little excited, and the serrated blade slightly embedded into Airl's skin, leaving a trail of blood.

However, as if there was no pain at all, the smile on Ai Luo's face was still as strong as ever: "No, no, no, we Mermaid Song will never do anything harmful to Iron Wolf. Because, we can do something

Business."

Wolf: "What... do you mean? Tell me clearly! I will kill everyone who dares to stop me from making money!"

Ai Luo laughed and continued: "Let me first tell you the reason why our Mermaid Song will not do anything that damages the majesty of the Iron Wolf."

"Then let's assume that President Wolf suddenly lets us go in a good mood. After our Mermaid Song is safe, the news immediately spreads that we will almost wipe out all the Iron Wolf Guild who came to hunt us, and kill them.

The president of the organization, Wolff Fiss, has run away! In this case, what will happen to us?"

"First of all, President Wolf, you will be very unhappy. You will come to our guild the next day and kill us all."

These words were spoken very sincerely. Wolfe nodded slightly, and the knife that was pressing on Arrow's neck finally moved back again.

"Secondly, even if you, President Wolf, are very magnanimous and let things go, the next thing for us at Mermaid Song will only become very troublesome, not very simple."

"Why? That's because your Iron Wolf Guild is a very good guild. In terms of strength, it should be ranked among the top 100 guilds in the country, right?"

Wolf thought for a while and couldn't help but smile: "Haha, is there such a statistical table? Well, the top 100 should be no problem. Maybe even the top 50, haha."

"That's right! President Wolf, think about it, our small guild, which was founded less than two months ago and has only two combatants, suddenly defeated the top fifty guilds in the country in a head-on battle! What does this mean?

?This means that our guild has very powerful capabilities! The reputation of our guild will skyrocket throughout the entire Blue Bay Empire!"

"But the skyrocketing reputation has brought not a good thing, but a disaster."

"Soon after, various commissions that are far beyond the capabilities of our guild will come. And other guilds will see that our guild is so good at grabbing business, and they will start to treat us as competitors to arrange their next market arrangements."

"With a very small size, we have gained a market that we cannot swallow at all. Once we are unable to capture this market, and with the continuous failure of our guild to perform its tasks, the large amount of fame we have gained before will disappear instantly.

It turned into a lot of negative comments and doubts.”

"From an economic point of view, what a guild needs is popularity and reputation. If both popularity and reputation are high, it means that a guild is a well-known guild in the country, and may directly accept commissions from the royal family and receive all the glory.

.”

"If the reputation is high and the reputation is low, then we will do regular customer business in a small circle. Although the possibility of development is relatively small, we can have excellent reviews in that circle and make a lot of money."

"If the popularity and reputation are low, then it is called stinky, which means it only stinks in a small area. You can first find a way to improve the reputation in such a small area, and then increase the reputation. It is not too big.

difficulty."

"But if we encounter the worst situation, that is, our mermaid song becomes famous throughout the Blue Bay Empire, but everyone who talks about our mermaid song sneers at us with ridicule and contempt, then our business will be ruined.

There is really nothing we can do, not even a turnaround, so we have to close down.”

"We at Mermaid Song need to improve the reputation of our guild, but we definitely don't need too sudden fame. The fame we need must match the strength of our guild, and we cannot accept this kind of flattering fame."
