Light Chapter 9.8-C: The Unfathomable President

·

You decide to withhold the Arcane Forehead Ornament with the Dark Elf Emblem and have Matthew sell the stolen goods to secretly supplement the resurrection fee of the Blade Shield Mufeng.

Matthew's expression when he looks at you seems to be a little surprised, but also a little happy.

He bowed deeply to you at a ninety-degree angle, and there are very few people in this town who have done this kind of salute to you: "Thank you very much." I knew that the winds in this town had begun to change...... Ever since I was a child, I had an innate but useless gift, which is to feel the trend of the world around me as if I were staring at the clouds in the sky and knowing the direction of the wind, and to say that it is to look at other people's faces and do things. I'm not mistaken, you're really not an ordinary person, and you don't do ordinary things, and this eerie and pedantic city like a swamp has begun to change. ”

As for?

It seems like you're planning to sneak away a valuable commission target.

"Didn't you ever suspect that I would take advantage of the sale of the stolen goods to enrich my own pockets? Haven't you ever worried that the client will be furious when they learn that one of the targets is missing? Have you not imagined that the upright young man of "Blade Shield Mufeng" would not only refuse your kindness, but also go to the old acquaintance to denounce you to the captain of the guard?"

You shake your head,

Change "I haven't thought about it" to "I believe in you".

Matthew chuckled, and his gaze fell on Hathaway's body over your shoulder: "I used to be a former adventurer, and I also know the skills of Miss Secretary, it seems that the elder is also a strong soldier. I guess you've thought a lot about it like a thoughtful secretary. If I want to fill my pocket, I can just hide one piece after opening the box, and the client really wants only one goal, the magic prop that is necessary for making drugs, and the forehead ornament of the dark elf is just a cover to distract others, and it is useless for the guards to ask for it; The captain seems to be upright, but he has also been mixed in the dragon and snake mixed guard team for several years, and he has already learned what it means to be sleek, otherwise, when the young man escorted the female guard who was released from petrification, how could he readily accept the hundreds of gold coins that were unknown and handed them over to you as they were, without asking half a word. ”

Belch.

"You're unfathomable. Is everything that has happened recently in your anticipation and control? Including, why didn't the guards kill the thieves themselves, but instead went around the bend to let the adventurers' guild retrieve the drug-making tools, and passively sealed off the thieves' dens but did not go deep into the crackdown—you have already seen through it, in fact, the soldiers and bandits are a family, and they share the benefits of drug trafficking, right? Otherwise, how could there be a breakdown in negotiations with the market at noon today?"

That's right, I've seen it through!—you say.

"Do you really know? So, William is the deputy captain and placed in the thieves group to collect benefits and report information, so that the guards can not only be generous to suppress the thieves, but also completely unclear, and the face project and actual benefits are both harvested, you have long expected this, right?"

That's right, I expected that!—you say.

"I'm sorry to myself. I also recently learned that because the group of thieves led by the dark elves is becoming more and more arrogant and dishonestly sharing benefits with the guards, the guards plan to borrow the hands of the adventurer's guild to change their homes, and there are many thieves anyway. I've finally figured out why a wise guild leader like you would be honestly used as a gunman - in turn, using William's so-called "Holy Shadow" personality to pull out this long-buried time bomb in the guild, destroying the biggest drug gang in town, and using only one mission objective to see the other party's reaction to confirm whether the soldiers and bandits are really colluding. Kill three birds with one stone?"

...... That's right!

Matthew bowed deeply to you again at a ninety-degree angle: "Could it be...... The President has even figured out what Baron Roberts Doug and the Council Chamber are doing?"

Of course.

After he left, you turned your head and whispered to Hathaway, "Who is this Matthew?"

"I have worked as a receptionist in the market and an intelligence dealer in the black street, which is quite good. You didn't really think of anything, did you?"

“......”

"Tea?"

Hathaway hands over a cup of black tea and sits with you to savor it. Adele and Raumie, who only saw Matthew bowing and didn't hear the specific conversation, cast longing glances at you.

·

It was approaching evening, and the doors were about to close.

Julianne is back,

And also with William and his lovers. Not only that, but Fieltin, the vice-captain's rich wife, and five or six faces that they had never seen before, followed a group of people in total.

How fast?

If Julianne had only brought William and two of them, she would have been successfully reformed, but what was the matter with so many people? Failed? Why did William and his sister also come, and brought five or six gangsters? Such a menacing attitude. Isn't Fiertin on a recess? Why did he come back after work? A hostage who was coerced?

Hathaway stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The probation mission went very well, and Matthew reminded me that there were three main points, and I worked the first two aspects, and I was only one step away from success. Julianne looked very happy with herself, "Have a wedding." ”

Poof! Raumi squirted the tea out of his mouth.

Ten minutes later, William's wedding to his lover John was officially completed. The sudden unfolding made people unable to come back to their senses for a while. Yes, that's right, you did send Julianne to try to influence William, and you didn't lose anything and didn't expect a single success. Officiating at a wedding and persuading others seem to be two different things?

Crackling applause and congratulations, there is also your share in this...... I followed the rhythm in a daze, and I began to congratulate.

William and John seemed very happy.

Only now did I realize that, yes, Julianne is a real high-ranking priest, and there seems to be no problem presiding over a wedding. Under such special circumstances, the ordinary temple would not have accepted William and John, let alone officiated at the wedding.

When Julianne closes her eyes in a sacred and solemn voice, spreads out her hands and says, "Now the groom can kiss the groom," you hear a part of the world snap and break. The picture is too beautiful to look at.

The result should be impeccable for the guild, and you receive two level 7 wanderers in one go, and because of Julianne's role, William and John's return this time is completely different from the previous ones, and there is more of a sense of belonging - at the end of the day, it has the happiest and best memories of their lives.

For other adventurers, it shouldn't be a bad thing. William didn't cause anything serious, let alone anyone, and even saved people. They should welcome William and John on board.

But for your heart,

It's uncomfortable.

Soon, you'll finally know what this group of people are here for. The vice-captain can't stand this kind of thing, but William's sister and fox friends and dogs are of course going to bless him, and there will always be some friends in the world, even if the path is slightly abnormal.

Soon, you also know why Fiertin is here.

Forehead support.

"Everyone, I'm so excited at the moment, can you say a few words?" Fiertin blushed, signaling everyone to be quiet, covering his small fist in front of his mouth and clearing his throat, his expression was serious, "I have said a lot of words to bless the two newcomers, and I really feel a lot, a lot." ”

"In my eyes, the Adventurer's Guild is a magical place, and now it adds a bit of sacredness. I've lived in misfortune since I was born, and for years, years, even if I was rescued, I couldn't get out of the shadows, I couldn't keep my heart shut—the owner of the bookstore used to say about me. That's why I like to read books, especially the legends of adventurers, which are so exciting, so rich, so full of possibilities. To tell the truth, when I came to apply for the receptionist, I really mustered up a lot of courage, and even wrote a "person" in the palm of my hand in front of the interview room and swallowed it. ”

A soft laugh rang out below.

"But I've really come to the right place. In the Adventurer's Guild, I saw all kinds of people coming together and making it my only home. There are good but stubborn people, evil but warm people, conservative but brave people, cold but resolute people, human beings and subhuman races...... I've lived in this city for many years, and it's really the first time I've seen a place like the Adventurers' Guild. Today, the guild once again showed me a miracle! How ...... our beloved elders were so accommodating for this new couple What a ......."

As he spoke, he choked up with tears in his eyes for some reason. It doesn't seem to be just tears of joy for William and John.

The applause for you echoed through the hall for a long time.

Everyone just smiled respectfully at you and didn't say anything.

You didn't say anything - I was completely stunned at the time, so I watched the man get married, and it doesn't seem to be the atmosphere of this now!

Unfortunately,

I don't know which guy doesn't look at the atmosphere, so he coaxed you to say a few words. Julianne had said it, William's sister had said it, and even the timid Fierdin had the courage to offer a few words of blessing. The highest person in this place is not in order, and a few sentences are really a bit of a refutation of everyone's face. The problem is, you can't even think of a proper word right now.

What does a secretary do?

So you look to Hathaway for help, at least a speech or something. Isn't that the job of a secretary? As embarrassing as it would be to be ready to come out right away, Hathaway must have a way!

Sure enough, Hathaway will never let you down. She pulls out a speech from her little notebook and hands it to you what seems to have been prepared for a long time. The paper had been folded several times, and the small squares, still a little worn, seemed to have been preserved for a long time. Seriously, Hathaway is very good, and she can do anything......

......

"Grown, say a few words!"

"yes, let's say a few words too!"

Being respected is actually quite scary, especially when there are no steps near the high platform. You hold the speech in your hand, and there is no way back but to read it head-on. Fortunately, you are very witty, and temporarily omitted the signature at the end of the payment, "My Great Corruption Group Declaration".

Your melodious and sonorous voice echoes through the hall:

·

Tanmei Dafa is good,

I just can't give birth.

years down the offensive domineering,

The year is graceful.

Friendship is still young,

In fact, he has already fallen down.

The swords are unsheathed,

Invite you to enjoy together.

·

After reciting,

It became black history.

·

Hathaway congratulated William, then asked, "Are you going to do your job as an adventurer this time?"

"Of course! people who are born in the guild, and ghosts in the guild who die!"

"Hehe, how did Julianne persuade you, it had such a big effect?" When Hathaway finished speaking, Fielting quietly pricked up his ears to the side.

William replied in a cramped whisper: "It's to help me treat my addiction or something, and he also promised to officiate at the wedding...... You know, no pastor wants to look at us both in the eye. Is Julianne an angel or what's wrong?"

Hathaway smiled: "If she is as pedantic as other guys in the temple, how can she run out to save the world by herself." I later checked, and her treatment center had been running a deficit for a complex and difficult reason. ”

Suddenly, William approached Hathaway and whispered in a very low voice, "I'm very grateful to Julianne for helping me and John get rid of their addictions, but I have a small question...... When removing the addiction, the patient is cut with a thousand knives, and each blood vessel is cut and bled along the veins, and then the spell is cast...... Is it normal?"

"Absolutely normal. Hathaway replied earnestly without hesitation.

Call...... William looked much more relieved when he heard this, but whispered in his ear, "I still have a little question...... In the treatment of some unspeakable diseases, all the joints of the patient are dislocated, and then the spell is cast...... Is it normal?"

"Absolutely normal. Hathaway replied earnestly without hesitation.

William breathed a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly, "I don't know much about medicine, and the therapists in the temple don't welcome me, so I'm a bit lonely." I thought it was a torturer sent by the guild, hahahaha! ”

"Hahaha......" Hathaway smiled heartily without hesitation.

"No wonder my friends don't like therapists very much, it does hurt a little. Normal is good, normal is good. William's expression was as refreshing as a sunny day after a rainy day, and he scratched his head, "Because I have made an appointment with Julianne to continue treatment tomorrow." She said that my body is weak and I need to start from the waist to recuperate, and I have to break my spine and reconnect it to get to the root of the disease. ”

"Rest assured, absolutely normal. ”

Hathaway later wrote in William's personnel notes, "...... Forgive me."

A special wedding ends simply and smoothly,

You look at the relieved expression on the side of the Captain's wife = William's sister as she leaves, and you confirm that just blowing the pillow breeze can make the attitude of the guards increase slightly.

Inexplicably sleepy,

Speaking of which, a lot did happen today. You raked up, and Hathaway yawned as she walked to the bathroom with the other women.

Enjoying the bathroom every day after work has become a routine for all employees of the Adventurers' Guild, and even the newcomers Adele and Julianne have quickly adopted the customs...... Extremely willingly.

Usual

You're not intentionally standing in the hallway eavesdropping, but the bathroom is literally built along the way to your bedroom.

"Sister Raumi, you're finally smiling a little, haven't you been a little listless lately?" Fieltin's voice came through the crack in the bathroom door.

Raumi smiled bitterly a few times and said that he was fine, and everything was fine.

Julianne said: "I guess I was infected by the festive atmosphere of the wedding. I've officiated three weddings and this one is the most meaningful. After a pause, she seemed to be recalling something, "The first time, the woman was quite young when she was collecting herbs in the forest and accidentally encountered a goblin, although she was rescued in the end, but since then she has never recovered from a trance, and her boyfriend has been taking care of her. I remember that the reason for the temple's refusal to officiate the wedding was that the bride was unclean, and the second time, the baronesse, who was about forty years old, and the groom, who had been taking care of her for ten years, had a pure and loyal love. If one day I can get married, I really envy their courage to not care about the world's eyes, but only care about each other. I remember that the temple refused to officiate at the wedding on the grounds that "the bridegroom had been a slave." ”

"This town still can't get along with slaves, and to be honest, slaves are quite pitiful...... Uh?" Adele stopped dumbfounded, pausing for a few seconds before continuing, "I'm sorry, I'm new here, I didn't know that Sister Fieldine used to ...... Lost his words!"

I could hear the bitterness in Fiertin's laughter: "It's nothing, it's all over, I'm very happy now." I hope the guild is getting better and better. ”

"Speaking of guilds. Adele said with the air of trying to forcibly change the subject, "Why don't we have a training ground? The market and the black street have training grounds for guards and killers, but the adventurers who need it more do not. ”

After a few hehes, Hathaway replied: "There is a training ground without an instructor, so it can only be used for training in a daze." The guild had just opened. ”

"Sure enough, it's better to have a training ground, otherwise it's a bit weird. If you exercise in actual combat with your life, how many levels can you live to upgrade?"

"No, no, I think something else is more conducive to the development of the guild, right?" Fieltin interrupted Adele's speech, "I'm looking forward to the guild leader's expansion of the reference room." ”

"Bookworms. ”

"No, Sister Hathaway, the reference room can be used as both a library and a conference room, and we can brainstorm ideas for the president. What's really strange is that every time we get together, we have to be in the bathroom, right?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to witness the eternity of elven flat-chestedness?"

After Hathaway finished speaking, all the women laughed in unison, and the sarcasm of a good friend could only be regarded as a joke. Elves are a beautiful but emaciated race, with rare cases of lordosis and backwards.

Julian sighed: "I want a private dormitory." I live on the other side of town in the opposite direction from the guild, a bit far from here, and it takes a lot of time to run back and forth every day. If you have a dormitory, you can quit the rent and move everything from the treatment center, which will make it easier to work. ”

"Yes. Fierting suddenly said in a thoughtful tone, "On the way to and from work recently...... It always seems like someone is following me. I'm not Sister Raumi, I'm afraid the other party is not a suitor. The heart is hairy. ”

"Who is the other party, do you have a rough number?"

"I used to work in a bookstore and had very little contact with people, and I never offended anyone when I came to the guild, so I had no clue. Sometimes, I was worried that it was a former slave catcher who was following me...... A cloth bag suddenly buckled on my head......"

The bathroom quieted down.

Coughing lightly, as if to break the embarrassment, Raumi said, "I would like the president to further expand the bathhouse and build a lion statue with water sprays here, where we can swim in competitions." ”

Laughter echoed in the bathroom again, cheerful and warm.

But you don't hear Linda's voice. This guy is mysteriously hiding from the ceiling, and even Hathaway, an old acquaintance, is not sure of Linda's whereabouts. Probably, Linda went to work overtime tonight to investigate something...... There's been a lot going on lately.

You go back to the bedroom,

After a while, Hathaway knocked on the door before going to bed and asked if you had anything else.

You were just about to say something, but Hathaway directly preemptively said:

"Sleep honestly. As I said last night, I can't accompany you this time anyway. Aren't you sleepy, aren't you busy enough?" Hathaway yawned, "Are you really human, or are you the embodiment of lust from the abyss of hell sent to toss me?"

belch

You're left hanging in the bedroom.

Yes, she did say hello in advance, and you were mentally prepared.

But! Isn't it okay to give someone a chance to choose someone else? Is Fiertin bad? She is very scared, and she needs a strong embrace to bring a sense of security! Is Adele bad? Unrequited love is a long pain, don't love is a short pain, she needs a long pain is better than a short pain! Julianne is not good? She is also in her twenties, she is more charming than the little girls, and the therapist knows how to maintain it better.

Even if it doesn't work, there is still a labor ...... who takes the initiative to give him a hug

Squeak,

Suddenly Raumi walked straight into your bedroom without even knocking on the door, still wearing tulle pajamas. She tiptoed like a thief and didn't even wear shoes, and the first thing she did when she entered the door was to put her index finger to her lips and ask you not to make a sound. There was something evil in her smile.

"President, everyone else is gone. Linda wasn't there either. Hathaway was asleep, and she didn't know I was coming. ”

Raumi is coming to you,

You step back until you reach the edge of the bed, and you are hit by a strong kiss by the hair. She fed something in her mouth, and the flavor was slightly sweet, and she swallowed it without paying attention. She actually stuffed you with medicine?

Raumi's eyes are not normal, looking down at you and smiling evilly.

It's not the right thing to do, and you turn around to get the +1 dagger, only to freeze halfway through. My whole body was numb, I was unconscious, and I couldn't move at all.

"That's good, isn't it?" Hee-hee, Raomi gently pushed you who were stiff all over, and pushed him down on the bed, "I, as a witch, my level as a witch is still very low, and there are often times when the alchemy fails." Sometimes it's poison, sometimes it's weird...... For example, after purifying, drying, and granulating, the paralyzing medicine that was just fed to you was fed. Compared to the paralyzing poison that can be bought in the market, my paralyzing poison will not make the whole body of the person who eats it soft, but will be extremely stiff...... The whole body is very stiff everywhere. But the wonderful thing is that the base of the tongue is still soft, and it can make do with speech. ”

Raumi sat on the bed: "Dear president, let's save crying, I can't speak very clearly." I've been honestly waiting for Linda to be away from home, I've been waiting for days. Afternoon tea ...... Is it delicious? ”

Tea?

Recall that you did have tea with Hathaway near evening!Raumi touches your cheek: "Ordinary soothing tea." Vigilant as Hathaway will never notice anything, but will only sleep as usual, sleep until dawn, and will definitely not wake up unless she hears a cry like a pig. But you ...... now. My whole body stiffened, and I couldn't make a sound. No one will know that I have been to your room tonight. Resign yourself to your fate. ”

Because of the paralysis of slurred speech, Raumi puts his ear close to your mouth.

What are you going to say in your last words?

A, a death horizontally and vertically...... I...... Secret medicine......

B, you can't sleep in vain...... I...... I want gold......

C, a lifetime ...... Ignorance...... What is the loss......

(If you choose A, please take the corresponding secret medicine number option, I will not repeat it here, and the number of words to avoid water is suspicious)
