Chapter 50 Hope in Despair

Ai Luo thought for a while and then said: "For now, it is better not to use this money for the time being. And the reason why I say these things to you is that I hope you don't publicize this matter. For our sake

For the safety of the guild, we need to unanimously declare to the outside world that the Iron Wolf Guild has left and everyone is safe. As for where the Iron Wolf Guild went next and what they did, we have no idea. Do you understand now?

?”

With Ai Luo's introduction, no matter how unclear everyone was, they now understood how the money should be handled.

Everyone nodded. Although they were helpless looking at the money, this was the best way so far.

After settling everyone, Ai Luo also picked up the flaming sword placed next to him and sighed with some regret: "Similarly, although this weapon looks very good, it is stolen goods after all. Since it is stolen goods, then

You can't stay with us, let alone use it. This knife must be disposed of... Originally, I wanted the slimes to corrode this weapon, just like other things. But this enchanted weapon did not

It's very sad that it can't be used..."

Arrow said this because he wanted to see if these guys had any method of dealing with this weapon.

But look at these people, everyone is looking at themselves with a pair of big eyes, and everyone is waiting for them to come up with a solution. Even Ji Lian, who had always seemed very assertive before, is now looking at him expectantly.

Keep yourself...

Well, it was indeed my mistake to expect that a gangster who ran out of the streets would have any advanced insights.

"In short, this sword and these gold coins will be stored for now, and no one is allowed to tell anyone about it. It is already autumn, and the tax collector should come to collect taxes soon. We can wait until then to discuss everything."

After eating, everyone cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest. After a busy day, everyone was tired and exhausted. After a while, the entire guild became quiet.

As usual, Ai Luo sorted out the accounts at the counter.

He raised his head and looked at the bulletin board facing the counter, where some tasks had been posted piecemeal.

Clean the yard, help carry things, accompany the elderly, etc.

Although the tasks were still fragmented, it was still the most normal way for an adventurers guild to operate. If he had to fight with a guild like Iron Wolf every day, he really doubted whether he could really support it for three years.

Years later.

"Ah... Huh~~~"

Yawning, Ai Luo packed up his account books, carried the flaming knife to the basement, and lifted up the wooden board.

The basement has been tidied up and is specially used to store food and herbs. Ai Luo looked around, came to the wooden barrel where the bloody bugs were placed, opened the barrel and took a look inside.

The bloody bug was moving around lively inside, and it seemed that it had become accustomed to the environment here. Looking at it slowly squirming like this, for some reason, I suddenly felt that this big fleshy bug seemed

A little cute?

Well, I really should find some time to consider how to extract the essence from its body.

After inserting the flame knife into a water tank, Airl stretched, walked up the stairs to the second floor, and returned to the door of his room.

After closing the door, he took off his hat and let his hair relax.

I don't know when it started, but this time of day became her most relaxed moment. Looking at the girl in the mirror, she could recall the past as much as she wanted, so that she no longer had to hide it. And those lies would also come to light at this moment.

It has nothing to do with oneself, and the whole world is just a reality that requires no scheming. What a relaxing state this is...

Squeak——

The door suddenly opened.

In the panic of the girl, what she saw was Napa slowly floating in.

The girl exhaled lightly and picked up the comb again to comb her hair.

Napa closed the door gently, slowly floated to the dressing table and lay down, staring directly at the girl with her big eyes, as if she was expecting something.

But the girl said nothing and continued to comb her hair in front of the mirror, as if she had completely forgotten about the cat.

Finally, Napa couldn't help it anymore: "Ariel, that magic crystal ring...can you take it out and show it to me?"

"Hmm? You want to see it? Sure."

The girl was not reserved. She put down her comb, took out the black magic crystal ring from her pocket, and spread her palm out for Napa to see.

Seeing the magic crystal, Napa's sapphire blue eyes suddenly changed! As if she had seen the most beautiful thing in the world, she couldn't help but stretch out her two furry paws.

Grasp!

But as if the girl had expected it, she quickly retracted her hand and put the ring back into her arms.

"you!"

Seeing that the magic crystal that was about to be obtained was taken away, Napa's eyes quickly filled with a different kind of ferocious color!

It floated slowly, all the hair on its body exploded, and the expression on its face was no longer as gentle as before!

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The girl was still combing her hair in front of the mirror, and the smile on her lips was always there.

However, if Napa could look beyond the surface and see the essence at this time, or fly under the table and look at the girl's trembling calves, perhaps she could judge current events more accurately.

Napa hung in mid-air and remained deadlocked, and the ferocious look on its face continued.

In those royal blue eyes, the girl's movements of combing her hair were always so methodical.

In this way, after five minutes of stalemate, this cat monster seemed to have finally figured something out. The ferocious aura on its body slowly disappeared, and the originally exploded fur also slowly retracted.

It fell on the dressing table again, and he said in a very sincere tone: "President Ariel, can you... give me that magic crystal ring? Magic crystal, it is... very important to me now.

"

"You want the magic crystal?"

The girl put down the comb again, with a very surprised expression on her face.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl shook her head again: "Oh, I forgot, you like magic crystals. But I'm afraid I can't give you this ring. This is the property that Ji Lian gave to the guild. I can't just give it to you casually.

Give land to others.”

A look of disappointment instantly appeared on Napa's face, her tail suddenly drooped, and her whole body looked languid.

The girl got up, walked to the bed and said: "This magic crystal ring is of great significance to Ji Lian. I can't let such an important thing disappear casually. So, even if you want it, I can't

Here you go, here are the rules."

Napa's ears drooped, and she didn't know if she heard these words. But just when it flew up again and floated towards the door...

"However, I can give you another one. I picked it up when the slime king died. I had forgotten that you liked these things before, so I brought it to you specially. You can see if it suits you.

?”

The originally droopy ears suddenly stood up! The cat monster turned around and saw the girl taking out a small bag beside the bed. Soon, she took out a shimmering light pink ball, which was smaller than that one.

The magic crystal ring is many times bigger, with a magic crystal as big as a girl’s fist!

Looking at Napa's expression of surprise mixed with ecstasy, the girl stretched out her hand, solemnly handed the pink magic crystal to it, and said with a smile: "So, do you want it?"

“I want it!!!”

Before these words could reach the girl's ears, Napa was like a beast that suddenly encountered a big meal after being hungry for a week. She rushed over instantly, grabbed the magic crystal with her two little paws, and opened her mouth.

He bit the magic crystal without hesitation.

In an instant, something in the pink magic crystal seemed to be extracted and quickly absorbed by the cat monster. The originally beautiful color also began to fade quickly, turning into some gray-black impurities.

In less than ten minutes, the pink magic crystal that had been beautiful before turned into a loose black stone. However, Napa looked refreshed, and the original light yellow fur surface even exuded...

A faint pink halo.

It was very satisfied to let go of its claws and landed on the dressing table. It closed its eyes and felt the changes in its body. As soon as it let go of its claws, the stone in the girl's hand turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

The girl clapped her hands and didn't bother or ask. She just took off her coat, put on her comfortable pajamas, climbed into bed, and pulled up the quilt to cover herself comfortably.

About five minutes later, Napa finally came back to consciousness from her own adjustment. It shook its ears, and just when it was about to say something, it discovered that the girl was already lying down.

"Ariel? Well, I want to say...I'm sorry for doubting you..."

"It's okay. Can you turn off the lights for me when you go out? And close the door. Also, can you knock on the door next time you come in? It's so scary."

The girl closed her eyes and said these words gently and deftly. This blocked Napa who was full of things to say.

After hesitating for a moment, Napa finally nodded. She curled up her neck and curled her tail, just like a child who had done something wrong was finally allowed to leave after being taught a lesson by his parents. He gently blew out the oil lamp and pulled the

Open the door and close it gently.

"Good night, Ariel."

"Good night, Napa."

The door closes.

In the darkness, the girl was smiling.

When people are full of hope, they don't feel much gratitude when their hopes are met. But when they are full of despair, the moment they suddenly get great satisfaction, the excitement of their spirit can be said to be a complete shock!

This is true for people, but is it also true for cats?

She knew that she would have a good dream tonight.

A strange dream in which he deeply regrets why he would think of such vicious methods to win the trust of others, and at the same time is very satisfied with how others respect him now.
