Arrow's thanks to the Pelican townspeople, led by the mayor, and a funeral was scheduled in three days. Although there were no remains, there were some clothes left in the room of the Holy Bread, which had to be replaced by these things so far.

As for the mention of whether or not to contact the Holy See of Light during the conversation, this is something that Arrow has indeed thought about.

However, the Holy See of Light does not have a permanent church place in such a border town, and it has always been visited every once in a while by priests who go out to preach, just like the Holy Bread did before.

The nearest church of the Holy See of Light is in a big city far away from Lagoon City, so it is really not very convenient to go back and forth once. Before, the Holy Bread said that he really wanted to contact the Holy See of Light, but his contact information did not stay in time.

The only way to do this now may be to wait until the next itinerant pastor arrives in Pelican Town to let the news out.

Three days later, a grand funeral was held in Pelican Town's cemetery.

The coffin with the high priest's clothes was slowly buried in the mournful atmosphere of the whole Pelican Town. People sobbed softly, remembering the pastor's kindness and kindness during his lifetime, silently mourning his past life and missing his smile.

It's an absolute loss for Merfolk Song. If there is any consolation for Arrow, then I am afraid that only all the expenses of the funeral can be included in the town's reimbursement list, and there is no need for Mermaid Song to spend a penny.

At the aftermath of the thank-you banquet, Eero thanked all the townspeople for their condolences on behalf of the Mermaid Song. At the same time, it was announced that in the future, Mermaid Song will work harder to become stronger, and do everything in its power to work for the prosperity of Pelican Town.

But......

"That monster even killed the high priest!"

"Isn't it? I didn't expect there to be such a terrible monster so close to our town. ”

"Is the mermaid's song okay? I really can't sleep well at night if a monster is right next to the town and doesn't deal with it. ”

"Although the people in Mermaid Song are good, I still think ...... I'm afraid this guild is really weak, right? ”

"yes, yes, it would be nice if a stronger guild could come and settle in our town......"

"Shhhh Don't hear it from the Mermaids! They helped us so much, they were so nice, they helped us make money, what did they think when they heard us dislike them? ”

"Well, let's stop talking about it. Alas...... There's such a big monster living next door, I want to move...... Originally, the population of Pelican Town is decreasing year by year, so I am afraid that many people will want to move away......"

The clouds, as if they had lost their light, slowly shrouded the sky over the entire Pelican Town......

Knock Knock Knock –

Early in the morning, the impolite knock on the door woke the whole mermaid song from its sleep.

Arrow got out of bed and glanced out the window, only to see a luxurious carriage parked in the street outside.

He got up quickly, straightened his hair and clothes in front of the dresser, put on his hat, and made sure that everything was okay before he walked out of the room quickly, and went to the stairs with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the door had been opened by Brad, who had been exercising early in the morning, and after opening the door, a man in a top hat, a tuxedo, and a gentleman's cane strode in, accompanied by two attendants.

After seeing Arrow coming down from upstairs, the gentleman also had a smile on his face, stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "This should be the president of the Mermaid Song, Mr. Arrow Garcia, right?" ”

Arrow was slightly stunned, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party. At the same time, when I looked back, I saw that Brad, Parfay, Coco, and Cream were already standing next to them. It's just that these members looked at the gentleman's expression and were not very kind, but full of wariness.

"I am, may I ask who you are?"

The gentleman nodded, sat down in the lounge area on the side, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is the first time we have met. Come, please be seated. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Norris Pixas, and I'm a small lord in Lagoon City. ”

As soon as the name came out, Arrow immediately understood the reason for the vigilance on the faces of the members.

His eyes rolled slightly, and the smile on his face, which was only very superficial, instantly became more "commercial".

With the same joyful smile, Arrow sat down opposite Viscount Norris and said with a smile, "So His Excellency the Viscount is here?" I really didn't expect my little guild to be able to welcome such distinguished guests! What are you still doing? Tea! ”

was scolded, and Coco in the back walked into the kitchen with an unhappy face and got ready.

Arrow turned back to the viscount in front of him, and continued to smile on his face: "It's really commendable, I have long heard that His Excellency Viscount Norris is a handsome and famous gentleman with a good aristocratic demeanor. Seeing it today was really an eye-opener for me! You're even more dashing than the rumors say! ”

Viscount Norris laughed, nodded slightly, and said, "President Arrow is not bad." Every now and then in Lagoon, I can hear rumors about you and your mermaid song. I heard that although he is a little delicate, he is very wise and very good at handling anything. When we met for the first time today, I immediately confirmed that the rumors were not fake, and that I could not fully describe how good President Arrow was. ”

The tea was served, but Coco only poured a glass for Arrow, but he didn't look at the cup in front of Viscount Norris, put down the glass and left.

Such awkwardness naturally made Viscount Norris's face show a smile, and the cream in the back hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, picked up the kettle and poured a full cup for Norris, and said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency the Viscount admires our president so much, then we will definitely be able to cooperate well in the future, right?" ”

"Cooperation? Nature! In this world, there is no such thing as cooperating to make money. In fact, I came this time to talk to President Arrow about cooperation. ”

As for the tea, Viscount Norris didn't even look at it, directly stretched his body and leaned on the back of the chair, and said slowly.

Airo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Excuse me, what does the so-called cooperation mean?" ”

Viscount Norris nodded lightly and said, "I know that President Arrow is a superior talent in running the guild. Wouldn't it be a waste for such a good talent to just condescend to such a small town? So, I'd like to invite President Arrow to come to Lagoon City and help me manage a small guild I've recently acquired. ”

"In order to be able to show my sincerity, I am willing to pay the price of 100 gold coins as compensation. At the same time, I will also send some business management personnel to assist President Arrow in managing Mermaid Song together. In this way, President Arrow will not be able to run multiple guilds at the same time and appear to be lacking in skills. ”

"Of course, I know that the main income of Merfolk Song is currently the Guild War at the end of the year, which can be considered a big head. So I'm not going to delay President Arrow's time. It doesn't take long, half a year is enough, just help me get this little guild through the difficult times in the early days. ”

As soon as these words came out, Bryde's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he said softly: "A hundred gold coins?" That's amazing! Parfay, it took us months before we started the Guild War, and we just earned over a hundred gold coins, right? ”

Parfay nodded vigorously, although the flower fairy still couldn't quite understand the greed of humans for gold coins, but at least she also understood that these little golden things were important to humans.

As for such a proposal, Arrow smiled, took a sip of the teacup again, and said slowly: "Your Excellency the Viscount really thinks too highly of me. I'm only sixteen years old this year, where is it as good as you say? I'm exhausted just by managing Merfolk Song, and I just don't have the energy to keep going back and forth between Lagoon City and Pelican Town to manage both guilds. ”

Viscount Norris smiled, and even though the water cup in front of him was no longer steaming, he still didn't touch it: "President Arrow is really too modest. Not amazing? Isn't it powerful to use a guild with so many members to run such a big event as a guild war? Please stop being modest. And the reason why you feel tired and tired from managing Mermaid Song is largely because your guild has few people, and you need to do a lot of things yourself, right? But after working with me, it's different, and I'm going to have a lot of management talent for President Arrow. At that time, you only need to look at the financial report every day and give instructions, and there will be a special person to implement the specific implementation issues. ”

"So, please don't say no more. It's a win-win situation for you, for the mermaid song, and for me. And if you're able to get a lot of competition in my guild with me, then I'll definitely recommend you head to the capital and take charge of a bigger guild next! When the time comes, your worth will rise all the way, and you may even reach a commission of 1,000 gold coins a year! ”

The corners of Arrow's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes narrowed as he looked at the viscount in front of him.
