Chapter 141: A bad start to the three years
Chatting and talking all the way, before she knew it, Ariel had already carried Napa back to her garden villa.
But from afar, you can hear the noisy shouting from inside. From afar, you can even see some magical power flickering in there.
At that moment, Ariel immediately put away the smile on her face and hurriedly rushed over.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw that all the members of the Mermaid Song had now been forced into a corner under the flying of those flower fairies.
Opposite them stood two rows of magicians, priests, and paladins dressed in uniform attire. A rough count shows that there are as many as twenty.
Cream held up his natural short blade, which had already had countless gaps, and gritted his teeth and shouted. But after yesterday's fierce battle, he still has not healed from his injuries, and now he is very reluctant to stand even if he is standing. After being kicked by a magician, he lay down holding his stomach.
In addition, Brad was lying on the ground clutching his chest, his face pale, and he was gasping for air. Parfay was constantly flying around it, screaming nervously.
Margaux had now been knocked to the ground, her mouth bloodshot from the corners of her mouth, and she looked at the two paladins around her with resentment.
Coco and Cheese looked haggard, and they didn't even seem to have the strength to raise their hands in front of them.
Now, only Sutta who was in slightly better health was still standing in front of everyone, holding Brad's sword in his hand. Yes...... By the way, her knight's tower shield was destroyed by the female spy of the Hunting Empire.
"If there's anything you want, please wait until our president returns! β¦β¦ Ah, President! β
Crispy turned her head, her eyes covered by bangs staring straight at Ariel.
At this moment, the other guild members also saw the returning president. But it was clear that except for the cheese and the pastry, the eyes of everyone else were a little complicated.
Now Ariel didn't have the time to explain anything to her members, she looked away, glanced at the demon dragon car parked in the corner of the front yard, and then took a step forward, lowered her voice and said, "What's the matter?" What's going on here! β
One of those magicians, Ariel, knew a flame mage named Eddie Invincible.
And at this time, this flame mage seems to be the leader of the team on the mage's side. He glanced at the maid who suddenly broke in here, and for a while he didn't seem to understand the situation, and said casually: "Nothing to do with it, wait out!" The Magic Association is doing business, if you don't want to get into trouble, get out of here! β
Hearing these words, Ariel took a step further, and came to stand in front of this flame mage generously, looked at him with fixed eyes, and said coldly-
"This is my guild. If you want me to say, you Magic Guild should get out of here. Mr. Eddie Invincible. β
Obviously, Eddie was a little stunned for a while.
Even, he was a little tired of this girl who suddenly rushed in front of him.
But just as he raised his hand and wanted to throw it out, he immediately saw the girl's eyes!
I saw this look...... It was a look that was very familiar to him.
"Invincible dude, what's wrong?"
At this time, a person on the paladin's side also saw the situation here and opened his mouth to ask.
But Eddie thought of something in an instant, and even instinctively jumped back two steps, stretched out his hand, and with a little panic, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the maid dressed as a girl in front of him, and said nervously-
"You...... You! Do you ...... Don't...... Don't......!!! β
Ariel snorted and said slowly, "It's me, President of the Mermaid Song - Airo Garcia!" But with the way I'm dressed now, you can call me Ariel Garcia. And my other identity is the eldest lady of Duke Jinguo, the companion of Miss Alice Jinguo. Is my identity clear enough? β
Miss Jinguo's beauty is famous throughout Hanhai City, and this morning's parade has made the people of the whole city see it clearly, all of them are envious, and they are full of worship.
Eddie's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately understood the current identity of the woman in front of him, and couldn't help blurting out: "You...... You are now the mistress of His Royal Highness?! β
At that moment, Ariel felt some tingling in her scalp.
But this identity is really useful, so she still nodded lightly and said with a smile: "So, may I ask Mr. Eddie Invincible, what do you mean by suddenly bringing so many people to the territory of Mermaid Song controlled by His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and attacking His Royal Highness the Second Prince's subordinates at will?" Can't do it...... Do you want to rebel?! β
The hat was a little too ruthless, and Eddie couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and took a step back again.
But the paladin stepped forward at this time, with a contemptuous sneer on the corner of his mouth, and after looking Ariel up and down, he put away the knight's sword in his hand and bowed to Ariel.
"Excuse me, then, dear ...... Hehe? β
Ariel continued to put her hands on her chest, her face was serious, and she said slowly: "Garcia, baroness." β
The paladin smiled again and said, "Your Excellency Baroness Garcia, I'm really sorry to disturb your nature. Subordinate to the Holy See of Light, named George Peanutun, he is a paladin who does not have a climate. We really don't know that the original mermaid song is now the property of the royal family, which is really offended. β
Ariel snorted, still keeping the indifference on her face, and said slowly: "You know, you still don't retreat?!" β
George nodded, got up, and let his paladins and priests back in both directions. On the other side, Eddie also let the magicians he brought aside.
Then George stepped forward, saluted slightly, and said with a smile: "Then, Your Excellency Baroness Garcia, allow me to explain. We, the Holy See and the Society, are not here to find trouble with the Mermaid Song. In fact, we're here to help the Mermaid Song. β
"On the orders of High Priest Priest Priest, in the next three years, a total of ten of us members of the Holy See will join the Mermaid Song together to help the Mermaid Song in its future work. I believe that the association of Eddie Invincible Mages over there should also think the same way. β
Ariel snorted and saidβ
"So what? Join me in the mermaid song, and you're starting to get started? β
George laughed again and continuedβ
"No, no, no, it's a complete misunderstanding. Although it is true that we have the responsibility to join the Mermaid Song, on the other hand, we have also received a small request from the Duke of Jinguo to collect some things. β
Ariel was stunned for a moment: "What is it?" β
George smiled slightly and said, "A thousand gold coins." β
Ariel was shocked.
George continued: "Duke Jinguo specially instructed that three years ago, he once lent the Mermaid Song a hundred gold coins as start-up capital. It was agreed that after three years, he would earn 1,000 gold coins to return. Now that the three-year deadline has expired, we have come to recover this loan. Of course, Duke Jinguo also said that the Song of the Mermaid is indeed not as many as a thousand gold coins now, so it is acceptable to discount, and only 950 gold coins need to be returned, even if it is a silver exchange. β
At this moment, the members of Mermaid Song in the back finally faced Ariel with a surprised attitude again, and Ariel now felt a cold feeling coming up from the soles of her feet, straight to her head!
However, no matter how frightened he was in his heart, he couldn't have the slightest change in his face.
At the moment, Ariel still said quietly: "A thousand gold coins? Mistaken, our mermaid song is now subordinate to the second prince, if you really want money, let the duke go and ask the second prince for money. β
But as if he had guessed this a long time ago, the paladin smiled sadly again and said, "Hehe, the order we got is that Duke Jinguo has informed the second prince. And His Royal Highness the Second Prince also agreed to use the funds of the Mermaid Song to pay off the debt. This is the edict of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, may I ask His Excellency Baroness Garcia, do you have any questions now? β
Issue?
Can this situation be said to be no problem now?
It's just that Ariel can only squeeze a smile out of her face now, and said slowly: "I see." Since it was the money that His Royal Highness the Second Prince asked me to pay, then of course I wouldn't have any problems. But please allow me to calculate the funds with you after I have prepared the gifts for the wedding of my eldest lady and His Royal Highness the Second Prince? β
Eddie nodded at this, but the paladin named George here didn't seem to think so. He continued to smile and nodded, and said slowly: "Oops~~~ Miss Garcia, I'm afraid this is not very good, right?" The Duke asked us to collect the honorarium immediately, but didn't say that it could be extended? So, it's better to pay the money as soon as possible. In this way, we can also make a difference to the duke. By the way, we can also leave for Pelican Town as soon as possible for the next three years. β
In this regard, Ariel continued to smile and said: "George Peanutun Knight, I have already said that I will prepare for the wedding, why are you still so stubborn? The Duke just asked you to collect the bills, but he didn't ask you to give the time, did he? Are you persecuting like this, are you leaving the tides to nothing? β
Although Ariel was saying these words with a smile on her face now, her tone did not look like she wanted to compromise at all.
Eddie next to him looked a little frightened, he took a step back, then stretched out his hand and pulled George on the side, and said softly: "Let's be a little more stable, you may not know this woman very well, but she is not an easy character to talk to......"
