Ai Luo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just think this matter is strange. So...then what? Did you conduct any investigation?"

The tax officer exhaled, took another sip of water, and said, "Of course we need to conduct an investigation. If we don't investigate, wouldn't we just ignore the problem?"

"Viscount Norris also organized some investigations. During the break in the Guild War, he asked all four participating guilds to form a team to conduct some investigations. On the other hand, he even entered the mountain mine near your town to take a look.

I looked, but I didn't see anything. However, there was some danger in that mine, and it is true that some people from the Jushan Guild were injured."

Ai Luo nodded slightly and asked: "Then what? Just let it go?"

The tax officer sighed and said: "After some investigation, I found that there was nothing unusual at all. Although these beggars talked about gold and gold from midnight to night, there was no gold at all. So after some exploration, there was no

Any discovery can only be dismissed as such."

Hearing this, Ai Luo stretched out his finger and tapped his head lightly. After thinking for a while, he said: "So... what does the tax collector want me to do when he told me this matter?"

The tax official showed a very kind smile, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "That's what I think. In any case, the four guilds participating in the competition are not local guilds. In many cases, local affairs

It is the members of the local guild who are most familiar with it. There is obviously something wrong with so many beggars appearing in this situation, but it is an indisputable fact that Viscount Norris gave up and stopped investigating."

"Well... I just hope that President Arrow's Mermaid Song can investigate the truth of this matter as soon as possible. If there is really gold, then I can get a lot of rewards if I report it to the superiors. If

I really can't find any problem. We just misheard these so-called "gold", or there are some irregular words in the beggars' pronunciation that are similar to "gold". So where do these people come from?

Come and help them find their relatives, which can be considered a big achievement."

Hearing this, Ai Luo rolled his eyes slightly and suddenly said: "So... if we, Mermaid Song, find these golds... or find the families of these beggars and send them back to their families...

…What rewards can we, Mermaid Song, get?”

The tax official smiled slightly, leaned over, and showed a very appreciative expression: "If you can really find the buried gold, then you can keep a tenth of it. If not, but you find out the reason for this matter,

If you help those beggars return to their families and promote the process of population retrieval in our country, I can also help you report to the superiors and congratulate your guild for your contribution. By then, I will definitely have a thank you fund from my superiors.

Did it come down? The amount of this thank you money... haha, maybe it won’t be in the minority~~!”

Needless to say, Ai Luo immediately stretched out his palm and said righteously: "Needless to say, Mr. Tax Officer, it is the duty of a guild like ours to serve the country! No matter how difficult the task is, I, Mermaid Song, will do it

I tried my best to complete it!"

"Hahaha! Easy to say, easy to say! So that's all I have to say, and the message has been delivered! Now, I really want to say goodbye!"

The tax official stood up and waved towards Airl——

"I hope I can hear a lot of good news from you when I see you next year! Also, don't imitate the tone of your mayor's speech. What the hell do you think a young kid like you should be?"

Ai Luo chuckled, sent the tax official to the door, and then waved his hand, truly sending him away.

After seeing off the tax collector, the expression on Ai Luo's face finally stopped smiling. He returned to his seat, looked at the numbers on the account book in front of him, and began to think hard on his seat with his arms folded.

This kind of thinking did not last long. Soon, he nodded slightly and continued to sort out his accounts. After calculating that the time was almost up, he entered the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"I'm back!"

Following Coco's shout, the little necromancer who had been busy all day jumped in from the door.

As if they had almost made an appointment, the members are now coming back from outside one after another. Especially Brad, who is carrying a piece of the liver of a tusked pig that looks dripping with blood in his hand, which is obviously what Arrow told him to do.

He specially went to other restaurants to bring it back.

"Are you all back? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Ai Luo placed the food and greeted the lovely members in front of him with a smile.

Coco immediately ran to Ai Luo after coming back and kept telling him about the day's work. Her little face looked red and she looked really excited.

Ai Luo also cheerfully asked everyone to sit down at the table. Just as he entered the kitchen carrying the large piece of liver, Brad waved to the second floor and said: "Cheese! Are you awake?

Come, come, come down and have dinner with us!"

William chuckled and said, "For him, it should be 'breakfast', right?"

Cheese snorted and looked out the window at the setting sun that had already submerged into the horizon. He raised his feet slightly and jumped down from the second floor, landing lightly and skillfully on the ground.

"Let me declare in advance that I have no intention of building a good relationship with you. Teaching you fighting skills is purely boring. And..."

"Also, can you take the stairs down in the future? Do you think that Cream can also climb walls? He doesn't take the stairs all day long and climbs up and down?"

Margaux on the side did not let the vampire finish his words, and directly gave him a slap in the face.

Such a sentence made Cheese angry and funny. He weighed the beautiful "nun" in front of him up and down, and sneered: "I'm starting to miss the way you used to be afraid of me.

At least at that time you, a fake nun, didn’t have the guts to contradict me."

Margot also snorted coldly. She got up from her seat very simply, gave Cheese a wink, and walked up to Cheese with cat steps: "Oh~~ This handsome guy started to act cool.

Really? I heard that you vampires like the blood of beauties very much, so~~~do you want to experience the feeling of 'gentleness' in my arms?"

Then, she stretched out a little finger and gently traced it across Cheese's chest: "Do you think...my blood is enough for your appetite?"

At Margaux's flattery, Cheese continued to snort coldly. He didn't even look at her, and walked directly past Margaux to the table: "Shallow woman."

Margo also laughed, turned around and returned to her seat. Coco beside her laughed secretly: "You are old~~! After the Holy Night Festival, you will become a twenty-year-old woman, right? You are not attractive.

Here~~~! Margaux...Auntie~~~!"

With a snap, Margo reached out and gave this little girl a shudder in her head: "There is something wrong with this vampire. I have never seen him interested in women. In other words, he is the same type of person as our president. Look at me.

He didn't even bother to look at the area below my neck. In other words, he is the type you like, and your death magic seems to be very suitable for vampires, so you have to be careful!"

Coco put on a naughty face and turned around to stare at the bread in front of her. If it weren't for the president sitting down before he came, she would have taken action immediately.

Waves of aroma came from the kitchen, and this aroma made Cheese particularly excited. He sucked in the smell silently, and his stomach, which didn't feel hungry at first, started to feel thirsty instead.

It was also at this time that everyone kept chatting, talking about the day's work and all kinds of gossip. But among these chatters, Cheese could not help but catch a glimpse of a different expression.

Parfait.

While everyone else was chatting in full swing, and even Brad was smiling happily, this flower fairy looked very tired and completely exhausted her magic power. Even, she

Her eyes were also red, and she didn’t know how many times she had cried today...

"Hmm~~~!"

However, this kind of concern only passed by in a flash. After all, the "fresh and sweet aroma" coming from the kitchen completely attracted Cheese's attention in an instant.

"Okay! This is my special live stewed salt-baked liver! Come on, sit down and eat together. Dinner with everyone will be more interesting!"

With that said, Ai Luo walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of beautifully presented liver dishes that exuded a strange aroma.

Along with the bursts of fragrance that made Coco's saliva flow directly, Ai Luo placed the plate of food on the corner of the table, asked Brad and Cream to make way for a seat, and arranged for Cheese to sit in.

Coco looked at this plate of fragrant liver, couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Brother President, um...can I have one?"

As he said this, the fork in Coco's hand stretched out uncontrollably.

"No! How many times have I told you."

Ai Luo simply slapped her fork away and said seriously——
Chapter completed!
