The third day after the battle.

Early in the morning, when Ai Luo got up, he could still feel the soreness in his muscles.

This made him start to wonder if he had been living too comfortably during this period. He had only exercised vigorously for a day, and now his whole body was still stiff.

Get up from bed, take care of your hair in front of the mirror, put on your clothes for going out, and put on your hat.

He thought for a moment about the work he had to do today, then yawned and walked out of the room.

"Ah, brother president...good morning."

Just then, Coco from next door also walked out of the door.

This girl has been looking out of place since the battle two days ago. What's wrong? Was she injured after being hit head-on by Merlin's fire magic? She shouldn't have been? He held her tightly at that time, so she shouldn't have suffered anything.

It's only right to hurt.

Ai Luo didn't want to at all. He just said hello to the little girl and went downstairs with her.

But he found that this guy, Cream, was sitting in front of the counter. After hearing the sound of the stairs, he turned back and glanced at Ai Luo, with a tired smile in his eyes.

"The wound doesn't hurt anymore."

Ai Luo walked behind the counter, took out his accounting book and began to clear out today's work and remaining funds.

Ji Lian nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he pulled out the two fanged daggers from his waist and placed them respectfully in front of Ai Luo.

Looking at these two weapons, Ai Luo snorted slightly: "You are really good at stealing my things."

There was a bit of shame on Ji Lian's face. After a long stalemate, he finally summoned up the courage to speak -

"President, I'm sorry that I doubted you. I'm also sorry... I stole something from the Song of the Mermaid. Even though I am like this, I asked you, President, to save me without any objection. I really have nothing to repay.

"

Look at what this guy looks like now, and then think about how arrogant he was when he first entered the guild. Haha, people will change after all...

What a pity, President Wolfe... After thinking about it over and over in the past two days, I still feel that it is a pity that you died, and that your death was so miserable~~~

Ai Luo still showed a smile and would not show his thoughts on his face: "Although I am a businessman, I can still distinguish the difference between justice and evil very clearly. What are your plans next? Go to Ruila's hometown to see

see?"

Cream held the bandage on her abdomen, and her expression darkened again after hearing the name Ruila.

After a long time, he turned his head, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, turned back and continued to smile: "President, Brad has told me in the past two days, the reason why you deliberately refused to agree to my commission is,

Just to make the plan succeed. So..."

He raised his hand, took off the pendant, took off the magic crystal ring, and placed it respectfully in front of Ai Luo.

"This is all my property... I know that this magic crystal ring alone is nothing, but... I just want to express my feelings."

Ai Luo nodded and held the magic crystal ring in his hand. Napa's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the magic crystal stone, and she slowly floated over. But Ai Luo didn't seem to know what it wanted to do.

Just the same, always clenching your fist and never letting go.

Napa circled his hand twice, raised her head and rubbed the back of his hand. But Ai Luo still put the ring in his pocket, as if nothing had happened.

"I see."

Then, Ai Luo didn't speak and continued to focus on the account book in his hand.

After waiting for a while, and seeing that Ai Luo didn't care about him at all, William finally lost his composure and spoke with determination -

"President! If possible... please allow me to join the Mermaid Song!"

"You want to join my guild?"

I was ecstatic in my heart, but I still had to keep a calm face.

Ai Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and he also showed a slightly disgusted expression.

After all, never let your employees feel that they are indispensable, and even if they are indispensable, never let them know. This way, you can more easily discuss terms with them.

"You have caused a lot of trouble for our guild. Do you... really want to join my guild? Become our permanent member?"

Cream looked completely prepared and nodded seriously: "Yes, please allow me to join the Mermaid Song Guild. Guild Master, your guild is also short of manpower, right? With me here, you won't lose at all."

."

Ai Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his lips, and thought for a moment with a dispensable expression: "Well... OK. Take care of the food and accommodation, go pick a room upstairs and clean it yourself.

The guild does not cover the decoration of your personal room. And then... Napa."

The cat was now stretching its neck and staring at Ai Luo's pocket. Suddenly, when it heard him calling, it raised its head and looked at him impatiently: "What are you doing? This magic crystal..."

"Give him one of our nameplates."

Napa looked very dissatisfied, but for the sake of the magic crystal ring, she finally turned back, took out a blank nameplate from under the counter, and handed it into Cream's hand.

Ai Luo took out his nameplate and let William see it clearly: "Here, this is the format of our guild's nameplate. Later, take this plate to the long stick boss in the tool shop and follow this format and put your name, occupation

Carve these simple messages on it. Then, you will be one of our members of Mermaid Song."

Holding the nameplate, Ji Lian nodded silently. Before turning around and leaving, he once again summoned up the courage to face Ai Luo: "One more thing, President...can you show me that ring again? Just

Just take a look..."

After taking out the ring again, Ji Lian's eyes were once again filled with infinite nostalgia. After about two minutes, he raised his head as if letting go, closed his eyes, and let tears roll down from the corners of his eyes before wiping them away.

Wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Thank you...President."

Napa flew over, but unfortunately before its two little paws could pounce on it, Airl had already put the ring in his pocket faster.

"Thank you, it's not necessary. Get your equipment (pushing the fang dagger in front of Cream) and go back quickly, we have to go out to pack up later."

William put away his dagger and nodded seriously to Ai Luo again.

But after the thief completely walked out of the door...

"yeah!"

The president finally couldn't bear it anymore and clenched his fist tightly.

————

After Ge Lien came back after carving the nameplate, Ai Luo picked up Napa, who was lying on the cushion sleeping angrily over there, and walked out of the door with all the official members of his guild.

The weather today is really nice, with crisp autumn air, which seems to confirm that this will be another good day to make money.

But when everyone came to the central square, the atmosphere here was indeed much weaker than before. It was obvious that some stalls had not even been closed in the past two days.

"Yo! Boss!"

From a distance, I saw Mayor Round Cheese talking to several townspeople, and Ai Luo immediately said hello.

Mayor Round Cheese heard Arrow's voice and immediately ran over and looked at him in panic: "Are you okay?! I heard from Korra that you came back from serious injuries the day before yesterday, but I'm here to knock

You didn't respond to your door, what's the situation now? Will those scary guys come back?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "Oh, you mean those people? Although those people look rude, they are actually very friendly people. The reason why they were so rude the first time was because of their behavior.

A friend was lost near our Pelican Town, so we were in a hurry to find someone. After we helped them find someone in the Shining Forest, they apologized to us and left. By the way, we killed Slime, a member of my guild.

The injuries on my body were also caused at that time. That’s right!”

Ai Luo touched his pocket, took out two gold coins and put them in Round Cheese's hand. He smiled and said: "They were in a hurry to leave, so they gave this to me and asked me to apologize to the townspeople on their behalf."

I will use a gold coin as medical expenses and compensation, and ask the mayor to help transfer it. In addition, we can continue to let those children go to school starting tomorrow."

Originally, the round cheese looked ugly.

But after seeing these two shining gold coins, his gloomy face immediately regained its luster, and he burst into laughter.

"Oops, it turns out it was a misunderstanding? I understand, I understand! People in the guild usually deal with monsters and monsters, so it is understandable that they behave a little rudely. In this case, I will

I can tell everyone so that everyone can rest assured and continue doing business! President Ai Luo, thank you very much for telling me this!"

Assuring Round Cheese, Arrow waved and watched the mayor leave. Then, a group of people finally walked out of the town and walked towards the Shining Forest to the east again.

"Although I have seen it before, I will be surprised every time I see it again."

Cream pinched her chin and looked at Ai Luo in amazement——

"How can you tell so many lies at such a young age? And your face doesn't change and your heart doesn't beat."

Napa was now lying on Ai Luo's head and snorted: "Your president graduated from the Lao Teng Shu Royal Academy, the capital of the Blue Bay Empire and the highest institution in Hanhai City. Of course, his lie is

I learned it from that school."

William clicked his tongue and nodded: "I just now know that lying is taught in the Economics Department. President, do you think if I enroll in this school, will I become a better thief?"
