Chapter 279 Receiving the Reward
"But what you just said makes me feel a little bit difficult."
Ai Luo was slightly stunned, and the cranial nerves that had been relaxed made him not be able to come back to his senses for a while: "What do you mean?" ”
Whiskey exhaled and said, "Meaning, we don't seem to be able to get out of here, do we?" If it is true that Count Karp is trying to kill everyone but you, as you said, President Arrow, then you can leave at any time. But what about those of us who live in Tianhe City? We have walked out in the open, so even if the Count can't deal with us during this time, but in a month or two, if that Count Karp thinks about it, won't he be going to trouble us again? You also know how careful our lords really are. ”
Arrow admits that he really hasn't thought about it yet.
After all, from the very beginning, he was thinking about the problems arising from the premise that Count Karp didn't want to really kill the fish song, so he didn't think much about these residents who originally lived in Tianhe City.
Now that he is reminded of whiskey and polyester, he understands a little.
But on the contrary, there is really no way to solve this problem with the song of the mermaid.
So......
One problem is solved, and another, more significant problem arises?
"Don't worry. Karp Houston Misselhankin would never do anything to you. ”
While he was worried, a voice came from the direction of the Corpse Eater King over there.
Arrow turned his head and saw that the old man was now standing next to the monster's corpse, slowly crouching down, tearing off one of his sleeves, and breaking off one of the ghoul king's claws, wrapping it well.
When he had done all this, the old man got up, and once again he turned to everyone, and showed a ...... A smile that made Arrow suddenly feel a little creepy-
"For I will never allow him to do anything terrible to my people. Absolute. ”
With this voice, the voices in the entire energy zone seemed to freeze at this moment.
It was a long time before Arrow came back to his senses from the terrible smile on the old man's lips, and it was only once again that he heard the sound of the waterfall falling continuously......
————
Walking along the passage, when the sky full of stars filled everyone's eyes again, everyone, including Arrow, exhaled heavily.
Arrow turned his head, glanced at the emergency exit door behind him, and then at the mutilated map in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But now is not the time to be easy, after all, there is still a very important step to be taken.
"So...... Your Excellency, Count Eagle, let's ...... first Went back? We still have wives and children waiting for us to go back and see, and I have sworn in my heart that as long as we can get out of this terrible underground passage, we will go and see our wives and children as soon as possible...... They also said that they would insist on waiting until we went back to rest assured......"
Whiskey and polyester were a little nervous, and even the civilians behind them looked like they wanted to stay out of the matter as soon as possible.
Actually, that's right, after all, what is going to happen next has nothing to do with these civilians, and if they can, they don't want to get involved in such things.
Seeing these civilians leave, Arrow couldn't help but cover his heart and take a big breath.
"President Arrow, why do you seem a little nervous?"
Suddenly, Arrow felt as if his blood was about to freeze. He turned his head, and saw that the kind-faced old man was now looking at him with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of approval.
Arrow smiled a little awkwardly, looked into the old man's pocket out of the corner of his eye, and said, "That...... His Excellency Count Stein......"
"Well, why are you so polite all of a sudden? Just keep calling me Eagle. ”
"That'...... Well, Count Eagle, what I want to say is...... Can you avoid it for a moment? Let me go and settle the contract with Count Karp first? ”
Rui Ying smiled and said, "Oh, you mean the contract you signed with him?" Didn't you say he didn't intend to pay you at all? ”
Arrow smiled again and said, "Although he really didn't intend to pay me, our mission was accomplished. We killed the Ghoul King, and while we didn't save any civilians, I'm sure he'll pay us if we didn't get anyone out in time, right? ”
Speaking of this, Arrow looked a little anxious and smiled, "So, how about I please communicate with Count Karp first?" When he gives us the money, our Merfolk Song will leave immediately. What do you want to do next, we won't participate in Mermaid Song, so what do you think? ”
The old man thought for a moment and said, "That's right, but I don't have any money on me right now." You also signed a commission contract with me, didn't you? I'll give you 30 gold coins when I get out of that damn place. How? You don't want this money anymore? ”
Speaking of which, Arrow was really hesitant.
Although it is said that Count Karp asks for money, it is still unknown how much money this stingy earl is willing to give himself. After all, I have never made much money working with him before.
If he asks for it now, but he only gives himself a few gold coins and wants to send himself away, then it is more cost-effective to wait, and then take 30 gold coins from Count Ruiying's side?
I thought so, but after thinking about it for a while, Arrow decided not to do such a dangerous thing.
After all, the losses that can be caused by participating in such dangerous political activities are more than just 30 gold coins can replace.
"Hmm...... Let's wait until we get paid, okay? Earl of Eagle? ”
Rui Ying looked the young guild leader in front of him up and down, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, since you want to do this, then you can do it." ”
Receiving the answer, Arrow couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Turning his head, in this moonlit street, a few zombies were still moving slowly on the street. As for the Earl's Mansion, it was now standing tall in a corner of Tianhe City, and it was brightly lit.
The Mermaid's Song leads the way, occasionally taking out the zombies that stand in your way.
Arrow, of course, would not have any safety problems under the heavy protection of the members, but what bothered him the most now was the old man who followed them after all.
Count Stein.
He had a kind smile on his face, and he didn't look threatening at all.
But even so, Arrow couldn't help but feel a cold sweat on his back, feeling that something was coming out of the depths of his heart.
It wasn't long before the night grew darker, and the crowd was already in front of the Earl's residence.
Arrow turned his head to look at the old man behind him, and saw that he reached into his arms very leisurely with his hands behind his back, and took out a small bamboo tube from it, with the mouth facing up, and pulled down the lead.
Only a bang was heard, and a string of fireworks flew up dozens of meters high, emitting a brilliant and dazzling brilliance in this night.
"Huh? Don't worry about me, you guys go in first. ”
Putting away the bamboo tube, Count Ruiying waved his hand at Arrow and the others, as if he really didn't plan to enter together.
Seeing this, Arrow breathed a sigh of relief, and climbed over the iron fence gate as before, walked through the garden, and knocked on the door of the Earl's Court.
————
In the middle of the hall, the members of the Mermaid Song sat or stood, waiting patiently.
Soon, the door on the other side opened, and the Count of Cap, dressed in his pajamas, walked in slowly, supported by his mistress Margaux.
Seeing the people in the Mermaid Song, Count Karp looked a little excited, and the expression on his face also looked a little happy! After sitting down on the main sofa with his mistress, the chubby earl said with a smile on his face, "How's it going?" How did you accomplish your mission? It must be quite difficult, right? Hahaha, is there any result? Well, if nothing happens, then it can't be helped, after all, this is a place that my soldiers can't conquer. You can rest here tonight, and then go back to your town tomorrow. ”
Seeing Count Karp's expression, Arrow knew that his previous guess was probably not wrong.
At that moment, he smiled slightly, came to Count Karp and saluted slowly, and said, "Your Excellency, thanks to your map and advice, our Mermaid Song has successfully killed the Ghoul King on this trip, and at the same time killed no less than twenty Ghouls and a few zombies. It is believed that without the threat of the Corpse Eater King, it only takes a certain amount of time to clean up the underground system, and the city will be able to recover soon. ”
Obviously, Count Karp didn't expect Arrow's answer to be so powerful. He didn't even have time to put away the smile on his face for a while, and the whole person was a little frozen on the spot, as if he didn't know what to do.
However, Margaux next to him reacted quickly and quickly said, "You killed that corpse eater king? That corpse eater king had killed more than a hundred soldiers that day, how could you kill that monster with just the five of you? ”
Arrow smiled slightly, and said in turn, "Isn't this the reason why Lord Earl has asked us professionals to deal with this matter?" Do you think so? Miss Margaux. ”
Stunned by Arrow, Margaux found that she couldn't find any point to fight back. But soon, she shook her head and said, "You said you killed the Ghoul King, so what about the evidence?" Did you bring the monster's head? ”
