"Merfolk, it looks like you're really stupid! 50 gold coins? 200 thick-fleshed starfish? Hahaha! You've made a fortune from selling Imperial Emblems last time, so you're starting to spend a lot of money! ”

A certain adventurer on the side directly sneered, and the smile on Arrow's face suddenly became a little stiff. He said in a somewhat stubborn tone, "What...... What does it mean to be stupid? Right now...... What is the price of the thick meat starfish now, you don't know? Especially if you have mouthparts! That...... That's a lot of money! 50 gold coins...... 50g ...... Not much! I don't think it's much at all! ”

"Hah! Idiot. ”

After sneering at Arrow again, the leader of a guild walked up to the villagers gathered together, looked at some of the scars and bruises on their faces, sneered, took out 25 gold coins from his arms, grabbed the hand of the young man Fan Yi, and slapped it on his palm: "Half the price, 200 thick-fleshed starfish, deal!" Alright, let's go catch the starfish! Walk! ”

Old man Hai looked a little nervous, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Ah! But ......"

"But what?! Aren't those thick-fleshed starfish yours? Warn you not to be too troubled, if you don't want to be beaten up by us again! ”

The guild leader's words directly frightened Old Man Hai, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Seeing this, the members of this guild completely ignored these bewildered villagers, and followed their president to the back to catch the starfish. After the other guilds saw this scene, they were naturally not far behind, and immediately stepped forward and took out their own bags containing gold coins.

However, it was also when the situation seemed to be developing towards a controllable situation......

"Wait a minute, why are we paying? Isn't this an illegal breeding site? ”

As the voice came out, Arrow knew that what he was most worried about had finally happened.

So many guild members gathered in the village now all turned their heads, and even the guild that had already paid the money just now stopped and looked at this side.

And it was none other than the president of the Sea Shark Guild, the Man-Eating Whale Great Wave.

The former pirate member carried his even more terrifying-looking sharktooth knife and slowly walked from behind to the front surrounded by other members of the Sea Shark Guild. He glanced at the frightened villagers over there, then shifted his gaze to Arrow on the side again, sneered, and said-

"Based on the information we've gotten, this farm must be illegal, right? In other words, there are no licenses here, which means that all the fleshy starfish here are wild! We can catch as much as we want, and there is no need to use the act of 'buying'! You say, President Airo Garcia of the Mermaid Song, am I right~no~right~ah? ”

Human behavior has a certain herd mentality.

Especially if someone starts to take the lead in something, then the followers behind will unconsciously want to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers first, at most to ask for a little cheapness, and do not need to pay the price of the pioneers.

That's why Arrow announced in front of so many people that he had bought 200 Thick Flesh Starfish for 50 gold coins, in order to make the later guilds fall into the concept of "you can buy a thick Flesh Starfish at a slightly lower price than the market price".

From the formation of the concept to the slamming of the brakes, then at least it can be sustained for a while, allowing these villagers to minimize some losses.

But now, this brake came much faster than Arrow expected.

In the face of the man-eating whale, Arrow just maintained a smile and said, "What are you talking about?" How did I not know? ”

The man-eating whale snorted, and he walked straight up to the villagers, whose huge body was as terrifying as a giant compared to the slightly thin villagers.

The man-eating whale's gaze swept over the faces of these villagers one by one, and finally, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the old man in the face of the sea. In an instant, Old Man Hai was slapped to the ground by this huge forehead, and the gold coins that he grabbed in his hand were also scattered all over the ground at this moment.

"Hah! Sure enough, there weren't as many as 50 gold coins. Mermaid, I've seen through those little tricks of yours, and I need to put it on again! ”

The villagers shouted loudly to help the old man, but the man-eating whale turned around, and looked down at Arrow with hostile eyes, full of arrogance, sneered, and said, "Okay! Guys, go catch the thick meat starfish! We don't even need to pay a single iron coin, because the Mermaid Song has already paid for everyone here! Hahaha! Let's go! ”

With the man-eating whale taking the lead, the other guilds look at me, I look at you, and under the psychology of blind obedience, they finally followed the Sea Shark Guild to the farm over there. Even the guild that had paid the money first now walked back quickly, snatched the 25 gold coins back from Fan Yi's hand, and glared at Arrow with extremely disgusted eyes, turned around and left.

This was followed by a most brazen massacre.

Countless thick-fleshed starfish were dragged up from the farm, and as the Mermaid Song had just done, the adventurers quickly removed the starfish's mouthparts and threw them aside to die.

Each guild needs 200, which means that the project is huge! In the blink of an eye, the entire village was filled with starfish corpses. The village began to lose its place, so they took off the starfish's mouthparts and threw them back into the sea.

Those dying and struggling thick-fleshed starfish were now struggling on the ground, blood pouring out, and even dyeing the place a bright red. The blood had even stained the surrounding sea red, drawing something in.

Arrow exhaled, his gaze looking at the cabin again. Turning his head, he also looked at the villagers who were now crying bitterly because all the hard work of the whole year had been destroyed.

Subsequently......

"They don't really have a license. However, we are a guild of adventurers. ”

Just when all the guilds were in full swing cutting the thick-fleshed starfish and cheering for the task they were about to complete, behind the man-eating whale, there was a cold voice from Arrow.

The man-eating whale wiped the blood from his face, turned his head and saw the short man who was only as tall as his chest, and couldn't help but sneer. He lifted his foot and stepped on the remains of a thick-fleshed starfish and said, "What? You don't want to say you haven't done this kind of thing, do you? Before we arrived, your guild beat them up. Ha ha! Thinking about it that saves me a lot of trouble. But think about it, if you don't beat them, then those villagers will definitely be beaten by us. They can only maintain minor injuries when beaten by you, but it is not so easy to be beaten by us. ”

Arrow shook his head slowly, and did not answer the conversation, but continued to say in a voice that could be heard by the adventurers around him: "We are the Adventurer's Guild, we are not a mercenary group. We do not commit robbery, theft, murder or other illegal acts. The reason why the Blue Bay Empire agrees to the existence of our adventurer guilds is because we can use these guilds to maintain local order in places that are not under the jurisdiction of the empire's forces. ”

"So, even if these villagers don't have any business licenses, these thick-fleshed starfish are the work of them for more than a year, maybe even two or three years. If we really don't leave any money like this, it will be tantamount to driving them into a dead end. ”

"I repeat, we are an adventurer's guild, not a mercenary group. We shouldn't drive such a village to death in order to accomplish our own tasks! ”

Arrow shouted loudly, making it impossible for the adventurers next to him to hear it, if not if they didn't want to.

The adventurers raised their heads, you look at me, I look at you, and then lowered their heads to look at the thick-fleshed starfish they were slaughtering now.

If you are a serious adventurer, what you do on weekdays is to accept some things entrusted by your neighbors, and of course you can't purely harm others and benefit yourself. Now, the expressions on their faces have changed slightly, and some of them have even stopped their hands, as if they were shaken.

But for man-eating whales, such a statement is simply a joke -

"Cornered? Hahaha! It's a joke! Merfolk, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't you just pity these villagers! Aren't you just thinking about getting more money for them so they can continue to make ends meet! If you really pity them, then why don't you take out the money yourself and give it to them? It's all on us? ”

After a slight pause, the man-eating whale raised its head and snorted coldly at the villagers who were slowly gathering over there, and said, "Then again, why haven't they been able to apply for a license?" And I thought about it myself this time, why did a small task in the second mission just need so many mouthparts of a thick-fleshed starfish? If it's starfish meat, it's fine, but what does it mean to have mouthparts? ”

"But now that I've figured it out, it turns out that this is the case! In fact, the original purpose of this was to exterminate the villagers of this island, right? ”

With a bang, the man-eating whale pointed its sharktooth knife at Arrow, and the villagers behind Arrow, laughing loudly—

"In other words, if we kill all these villagers now, it would be a great thing, wouldn't it? Hahaha! ”

Ailuo's face changed slightly, but then he sneered and said: "Your courage is inevitably too big, the inside story of the mission is to drive them away at most, if you really kill them, then it will be a big trouble." ”
