"Hmph! Doesn't the state tax this or that little enough?"

Bass's expression was unashamed, as if he was a hero who was about to die for his righteous words——

"There is personal income tax when you work, there is a guild to pay taxes when you open a guild. You have to pay taxes on housing. When you die, there is inheritance tax. This tax and that tax. The total of all kinds of tax burdens is not a small amount! There are so many.

You can take the money, so why are you still collecting taxes on things that should be sold to other people? This is completely a tool for the royal family to make money! Let me tell you, these taxes should not be collected in the first place!"

Now, Keke began to regret that it was she who was standing here instead of the president of her family.

At the same time, she also had a deeper understanding of why her guild leader was able to win so many games so easily by talking nonsense, and she was also able to understand why she was willing to join the Mermaid Song guild in the first place.

It was also from this moment that the little girl began to deeply regret that in the past two years, she had spent most of her time learning magic knowledge from Napa, the vice president, and her knowledge of economics was often just

Just listen and forget it.

If she could understand why the country needs to collect tariffs, would she still be speechless now?

"Anyway...anyway!"

Coco's little face couldn't help but turn red! She stretched out the steel staff in her hand and waved it at Bass in front of her, and said loudly——

"I advise you to be obedient and obey our president's orders! Our president is not a person who likes killing people so much, so if you are willing to be obedient, our president may not only not kill you, but also

We will also be willing to let you join our Mermaid Song..."

When he said this, Coco suddenly realized that he had said something wrong.

Why?

Because when negotiating, the most taboo thing is to directly confess what you most want to achieve.

And because this little girl was anxious for a moment, she actually revealed her final goal directly. One can imagine what kind of strange expression appeared on the face of Bass in front of her after hearing the news.

"You want me to...join your guild?"

Bass's face was full of doubts.

"Ah! No! That...can be considered!"

Coco quickly put on an indifferent expression, pursed her lips, and said hummingly——

"If you are willing, there is nothing wrong with joining our guild! But the prerequisite is to be obedient! Also...if you join our Mermaid Song..."

The little girl's eyes rolled, and she glanced at Mrs. Macaroon next to her. She immediately had an idea in her mind: "If you join, the affairs of our guild members will naturally be our guild's own affairs. Maybe.

Our guild president will also help you find your son! Searching with the power of our guild will naturally be much more efficient than the two of you searching blindly!"

Hearing what Coco said, Mrs. Macaroon next to her suddenly became excited! But just when she was about to say something, she immediately received a very stern look from Bass, and she couldn't help but shrink back again as she spoke.

Went back.

"Haha, it turns out that this is your condition?"

Bass tilted his head back, leaned against the pillar, and said with a smile——

"Think about it carefully. Although there is a powerful vampire in your guild and a terrifying necromancer like you, your guild actually does not have a strong magic defense. Hmm, so, you are eager to

The land needs a paladin to join...so, you are interested in me? Haha, interesting, this is really interesting."

Coco couldn't help but licked her lips, cheered up her spirits again, highlighted her strong look, and said, "That's right! So, what's your answer?"

Bass lowered his head and glanced at the little girl in front of him. After rolling his eyes several times, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily, and he said slowly: "It's really too late today, please

Let me think about it again. I want to think about it for a little more time."

Although Coco is only fourteen years old, her years of hard work have made her very clear that the person in front of her is not considering at all, but starting to bargain.

So...it's obvious that this girl has already started to fall into a passive position by revealing her background in advance.

There is no other way. Now Keke can only slap her face and continue to pretend to be fat. She said with a proud face: "Well, if you want to think, then I will give you time to think carefully! I will ask you again tomorrow. I hope you can give me some advice by then.

A satisfactory answer. Otherwise, although our president doesn’t like killing people very much, but there is really no other way, I can’t guarantee that our president will not make up his mind! That’s it!”

After saying these words, Coco turned his eyes to Mrs. Macaroon next to him again, as if making a last-ditch effort: "You really don't need to go to the toilet?"

Mrs. Macaroon still shook her head.

"Okay, in this case, you tie yourself up with the rope again, and then I will let my undead soldiers tie your hands to the pillar. Then, I will let my undead soldiers watch here all night

You guys. In this case, I can tie you up a little looser and you can relax a little bit. But please don’t betray my trust.”

Say it and do it at the same time.

After tying up Mrs. Macaroon with Xiao Bai, Coco once again said a few harsh words, then left the cellar door dejectedly as if fleeing, and went back to her room.

After this duel, all that the necromancer can think about now is probably the trouble he caused, and he also hopes that he will reveal the truth in advance and try not to let the president brother know...

But on the other side, inside the cellar.

As the candlelight slowly extinguished, Mrs. Macaroon also sat on the ground and leaned against the pillar, closed her eyes silently, and said: "Husband, I think... if we can really survive by joining the Mermaid Song, we may be able to survive."

…”

"Oh, you can survive by joining the Mermaid Song? What are you thinking, stupid woman."

In the darkness, Bass's eyes looked very sad——

"Joining a guild requires formal registration. If our supervisor finds out that not only did we lose Du Lengjia, but we also joined an inexplicable guild, what do you think will happen to the two of us next?"

Mrs. Macaroon looked very worried, but indeed, she had no way to contradict her husband now.

"But...husband..."

"Don't worry, don't they want me to join them? I already have a little idea. As long as the time is right, I will make good use of this method to escape."

Early in the morning, after Ai Luo slightly arranged his clothes, the first thing he did when he walked out of the room was to go to Cream's room.

After knocking on the door, there was no sound. Ai Luo tried to push the door...the door was not locked.

When the door opens, the first thing you see is Cream sitting in front of the window, looking out at the sun shining on the street.

The assassin's left hand rested on the window sill. Under the sunlight, the flaw of the missing ring finger was highlighted very conspicuously.

After hearing the sound of Ai Luo opening the door, William did not immediately turn his head. He continued to look at the outside world as if he was stunned. Even after Ai Luo shouted softly, the assassin did not react at all.

Turning his head, he saw that the natural double blades were now sliding down to the foot of the bed, apparently having been thrown off directly.

Ai Luo exhaled slightly, walked forward, picked up the two wooden weapons and looked at them repeatedly.

The wood is still the same wood as before, and even the little flower on the handle of the knife is still blooming very naturally, and not even a single petal has fallen off.

After placing the two weapons on the table, Ai Luo thought for a while and said: "I didn't tell the members what happened yesterday. They just thought you wanted to forcibly remove the dark power from your body and held it.

Naturally, it was double-edged, and I just fainted from the pain in the end."

Ji Lian did not look back, his eyes were still staring blankly into the distance.

Ai Luo shrugged and continued: "However, we will have a way to cure you next. It won't be long before you can return to the peak of your combat effectiveness! Because, everyone went to rob a smuggling channel for you.

, I have snatched back a lot of Du Lengjia for you!"

Seeing that the assassin still had no reaction, Ai Luo frowned slightly and continued: "This is everyone's wish! Of course, I also know that the efficacy of this thing is scary. But as long as we are careful

I believe I can suppress your pain. Now I just need a little time to check which series of drugs these Duolengjia belong to. So, please be patient and wait a while."

Seeing that William had no reaction from beginning to end, Ai Luo could only sigh and walked out of the room as if nothing happened. He left the words "Come down early for breakfast" and closed the door.

After the door closed, Ji Lian's eyes finally seemed to have some reaction. He glanced in the direction of the door, and then looked further away, looking at the Changmian Mountains in the distance, and there was something strange in his eyes.
