Chapter 542: The Proceeds of the Goblin Clan
"Oh? It seems that the rumors are true, and there are really a lot of flower fairies here. ”
Lord Norris Paxus rode on his white horse, looking at the forest in front of him, a faint sneer emanating from the corners of his mouth.
And beside this Norris stood a strong man that Arrow had once been somewhat familiar with.
"Heh, isn't that great? If you can catch a large number of flower fairies in one goat and make them all into fairy dew, that's a lot of income. ”
The strong man carried the shark-toothed broadsword in his hand, and the scars on his face looked unusually fierce.
Norris laughed again and said, "Man-eating whales, you should understand, right?" The Sea Shark Guild is still under my command in name, right? ”
The man-eating whale snorted, he turned his head and glared fiercely at this little white face who had climbed to the position of lord just by virtue of his military merits and personal connections, and said with a disdainful expression: "Ah, I know very well. But then again. It's the old man who really obeys my orders, not you, the student. It was the old man who rescued me, and you didn't know where it was at that time. So, you can take as much as you want, but don't try to limit my share. ”
Norris laughed, nodded slightly, and said, "You're still the champion of the guild war, why are you so stingy?" So take as much as you can this time, and the rest will be mine. ”
"Okay! Just do as you say. ”
The two sides negotiated, and this burly guy with a scarred face immediately raised the big knife in his hand and shouted! With his shouting, the five people who followed behind him who also looked fierce also raised their weapons one after another, and they were about to rush into this fairy forest together!
"Your Excellency Viscount Norris! Your Excellency Viscount Norris! ”
But just as the people of the Sea Shark Guild were about to rush into the Shining Forest and start a bloody battle, Airo hurried to the side and shouted to the side.
Hearing Arrow's voice, Viscount Norris's brows furrowed slightly, and then he turned his head to look at the short guild leader. The man-eating whales over there also stopped now, turning to the guild that seemed to have some kind of connection with the Flower Elf Clan.
"Shorty! Do you want to die now?! ”
The man-eating whale pointed the broadsword in his hand at Eero and roared loudly. It was also at the next moment when the man-eating whale made this move, Brad instantly drew the shield and the giant sword behind his back, and firmly blocked in front of Arrow, erected the shield, held the sword, and was on full alert.
Maybe it's because I didn't pay attention, or maybe I vaguely felt some kind of strong sense of coercion, right? The man-eating whale was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the warrior in front of him, who was heavily armed and had a stable and calm expression. And when he saw that the giant sword in his hand, which was thicker than his own broadsword, was actually held by Brad with one hand, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
Not just the man-eating whales, but also the other members of the Sea Shark Guild, and the soldiers next to them. Everyone seemed to be shocked by the current state of the giant man. As long as he stood here, it was as if he was vaguely telling everyone here that no one could pass by him and move a finger of his lord!
"President Arrow...... Your guild, huh...... Looks like a lot of color, huh? ”
Norris, who was on his horse, was now noticing something unusual. His gaze swept over the guild members one by one, except for the assassin who still looked old and even a little weak, the other members had obviously grown a lot.
Arrowhaha smiled, slightly separated Brad's defenses, walked past him, stood at the front of the entire guild with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "That's thanks to the help of His Excellency Viscount Norris!" If it weren't for the tax collector you left for me last time, I wouldn't have been able to get my members so promoted! ”
Clearly, Norris's brow furrowed now, as if he was considering what the connection between the two things was.
Airo's purpose is to make him annoyed, and the more troubled this guy who cheats his own money, the happier he becomes!
However, Arrow didn't give the guy much time to think. After glancing at the army next to him with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Excellency, you look ...... now Are you planning to catch those flower goblins? ”
Norris glanced at the dozen or so flower goblins that stayed behind Arrow, and couldn't help but snort and said, "What? You want to stop me? ”
Arrow tapped his cheek, thought for a moment, and smiled, "If you want to stop it...... Not really. But isn't it a stop...... But it doesn't count. You can think I'm here to offer some advice and advice. I wonder if His Excellency the Viscount wants to hear it? ”
The lord sneered again and said slowly: "I have long heard that the relationship between the Song of the Mermaid and these flower goblins is very close, and you didn't directly express your desire to stop it?" Well, well! Anyway, we have time, so let me hear if you have any interesting stories you want to make up. ”
Arrow didn't panic at all, he covered his forehead and laughed again. After laughing, he raised his hand and beckoned slightly to the rose next to him.
Rose hesitated slightly, but when she saw Arrow's determined gaze, she nodded and flew to his palm to stand.
With that, Arrow held the rose in his hand and walked slowly to the lord on his horse. Such a scene did not occur to Norris for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he separated the soldiers who had stopped in front of him, so that the guild leader could enter.
"Viscount Norris Paxus, let me introduce you. The one in my hands now is a member of the elven clan that now lives in this shining forest, the Rose. ”
Hearing Arrow announce her name, Rose raised her head and looked at the human who was looking at her condescendingly, and after a moment of silence, she bowed slightly and bowed as she had been taught by Arrow.
Subsequently......
"My name is Rose. Hello, Terran, leader. ”
Most of the people present had never heard the flower fairy speak human words, so those soldiers were stunned for a moment when they suddenly heard the slightly jerky language from the mouth of this beautiful flower fairy. Even the member of the Sea Shark Guild couldn't help but open his mouth now, with an expression of disbelief.
Norris had already heard Parfay speak before, so he didn't care about it now, he smiled slightly, then dismounted, walked slowly to Arrow, and also saluted the flower fairy, and said, "Hello, honorable Miss Rose." ”
And seeing Norris dismount now, it scared Arrow. However, he still controlled his expression well, and said with a smile: "Miss Rose led her clan here, in fact, she had long expected that our Terran would capture and attack them. But even so, Miss Rose decided to live near a human settlement. In order to be able to live in peace with human beings, to trade, to help each other, to support each other, and to live together in peace and stability. ”
As soon as this topic came up, Norris's face showed a look of surprise. But after being surprised, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more contemptuous, and he said slowly: "Want to live with us humans? Oh, President Arrow, I wonder if you can tell this beautiful Miss Rose that since they are flower fairies themselves, they are already destined for us humans to live in peace with them. There's really no way, Fairy Dew is too precious a material. Of course, if she's willing to surrender, then I'll allow her to pay only ten flower goblins a day. ”
To be honest, such a tough attitude was not at all unexpected by Arrow. He translated the general meaning of these words to Rose, and then said, "(Fairy) I'm right, right? It's impossible to just talk to humans. It's not okay to just dodge. Sometimes, force is the best way to bring the other side back to the negotiating table. ”
Rose thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "(Fairy words) I understand. President Arrow, I follow your guidance. Next, I'll do what you say. ”
Now that the elven leader agrees with his command, Arrow can speak out now.
He coughed deliberately and said with a smile: "Of course, the goblin clan also knows very well that peace is not that simple. But nevertheless, I still want to explain to them the impact that peace will have on Viscount Norris. ”
"If peace can be formed between the flower elves and the humans, then the elves agree to join the Blue Bay Empire as 'residents'. It also means that they are willing to pay their taxes normally at Pelican Town's rate. In this way, Your Excellency the Viscount can naturally take a part of this tax, which is an increase in your funds. ”
"So, how do flower goblins earn money? Very simple. Because the flower fairy itself is enough to become an excellent tourist resource. Because they are stationed here, there is an endless stream of people who want to come to see them when they hear the news these days! As a result, our hotel occupancy rate in Pelican Town has increased significantly! In addition to accommodation and travel expenses, the extra spending of those tourists has also become a major economic stimulus point. While my personal calculations may not be accurate, in the last ten days, our tertiary sector in Pelican Town has earned one-third of what it was during the First Guild War. ”
