An understatement, but it made the magnificent atmosphere that had been condensed into an iron plate just now collapse in an instant.

Coco looked at her elder brother in disbelief.

Brad and Parfay couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and their chins could be opened to see the small tongues in the throats of these two people.

Even Napa, who had been indifferent and just closed her eyes and recuperated from there just now, now raised her head in shock, and her royal blue eyes looked incredulously at the guild leader who had been tossing and turning all day during the day.

However, Arrow didn't pay any attention to the doubts of his members, he just continued to speak in a soothing tone to the thief in front of him, who was already completely desperate, and said slowly-

"Cream, are you mistaken? Although what you said was very moving, tears of sympathy were about to fall from my eyes. But do you know what type of task you're delegating? ”

"You're entrusting a regular guild that has been registered with the Empire to face another regular guild that has been properly registered in the Empire, and you want to eradicate it completely."

"To be more precise, you're no longer a good quest to commission in a guild. Your commission is an assassination campaign against other guild members, and if Merfolk Song does take on this mission, then we're no different from mercenaries who specialize in doing the dirty work. But you should know that adventurers' guilds and mercenaries are not the same. We, the Adventurers' Guild, are not allowed to take on any random assassination or extermination of humans or other intelligent races. This is not some risk, but an act that puts our guild members in danger completely. Brad, Parfay, Coco, you must also understand this, our guild is definitely not a mercenary, and killing people is absolutely not easy to accept. ”

Coco, who was about to say something, was directly struck back by Airo's stern eyes, and the magician pinched his dead branch and shrunk his neck. After pondering Arrow's words, she looked up at her president again.

After making contact with Arrow's stern gaze once more, she finally lowered her head, and the undead soldier was also reduced to dust along with the skeleton dog, which had long since turned to dust.

Brad was stupid and didn't know how to contradict President Arrow. He could only keep opening and closing his mouth, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "We...... Can't you just kill someone? Even if it's a bad guy...... Can't just kill it? ”

"We don't have the power to decide whether others deserve to die or not, and if we feel we have that power, then other people can have the same power to decide whether we deserve to die or not. Do you wish that there would always be people in this world who would recognize you, or that Parfay should die? ”

Brad himself may not have an opinion, but when it comes to Parfay, the big man was startled, and instinctively raised his hand to protect the flower fairy on his shoulder. At this moment, he finally figured it out and sat down silently.

Parfay, too, uses Brad's life as an example, and she learns the notion that the guild is not a hired killer faster than Brad.

Seeing that his members finally agreed with this theory, Airo couldn't help but exhale.

You know, the members of your guild are very young and very ambitious. But as a mature adventurer, they must not act with emotions anytime and anywhere, they must learn some rules, and they must understand that even when they are at their most emotional, they must remember some rules that bind them.

Indulging your emotions may lead you to do the right thing. But more often than not, it will put you in a worse position. In particular, these children should not be given the impression that by becoming an adventurer, they have the power to take the lives of others at will.

Power can be used to serve others, but if you let your emotions control it, it will eat you back. If there is no vigilance or reverence for stepping into the line of killing people, it is very likely that these children will not die well in the future.

Thankfully, they seemed to understand what they meant.

After teaching the members, Arrow turned back to the cream over there, and continued to say in a haughty tone, "As I said earlier, our guild will not take over the commission to kill. At the same time, if you think about it from another angle, you shouldn't be able to find even if you hire a professional mercenary, right? How much money do you have to pay the bills? Even if the Iron Wolf Guild has been greatly damaged, it is still a very powerful guild. The Flame Mage of the True Eye isn't a good thing, how much do you think that magic crystal ring around your neck can pay for? Hehe, even the traps I set up in the Shining Forest are worth more than you. ”

Arrow waved his hand, not wanting to talk about the topic anymore. He asked Brad and Coco to clean up the dishes, while he continued to sit in front of the completely dull Cream with a lazy expression, squinting his eyes and saying, "For the sake of the business you once introduced me, it's late now, you can stay with me for one night, I don't count any expenses for you." Don't blame me for being ruthless, and don't blame me for being too greedy for life and afraid of death. It's ......."

He sighed, and said in a very regretful tone—

"It's really that our guild is not strong, even if we want to help you, we can't help it. Brad, Coco and Parfay are both innocent, and they are weak, and I don't want them to die in this matter for no apparent reason. ”

After a long time, Cream nodded softly, with a dead face, and hummed softly in a weak voice like that of a sick and dead man.

With Cream's answer, Arrow, the guild leader, also got up and began to take care of himself. The entire guild hall was silent, except for the flickering lights on the surrounding walls, everything seemed to have stood still, and everything seemed to stand still.

Brad and Coco didn't dare to come up and talk to Cream as they passed the hall, perhaps they knew that there was no point in saying anything now.

Time, tick-tock...... Tick...... Walking.

The originally busy guild hall gradually became quiet as the night gradually deepened.

From the moment he extinguishes the last hope of the Mermaid Song, Cream knows that he is sentenced to death.

Wolf and Merlin will never let themselves die too easily, all because of their greed, because of their attachment to gold and silver treasures, because of their feelings for Raella...... And these beautiful "dreams" can be said to be destroyed in their own hands in the end. Watching ...... Look at everything, everything, and turn to ashes......

Fingers raised, trembling.

He fumbled around his neck to remove the pendant that hung around his neck and removed the magic crystal ring he had carefully selected.

The dark magic crystal was impurities, and the magic contained in it was simply insignificant to those magicians.

Although it was not a valuable item, he even thought that after the ransacking of the viscount, he could exchange it for a larger, higher-level magic crystal ring.

But even with such a small ring, he had dreamed of such a beautiful day......

On that day, he could face the sun, solemnly kneel in front of his beloved, say the words that had been prepared for a long time, and then put this ring on the ring finger of his beloved.

On that best day, everything will be colorful. He doesn't want to think about being a street thug anymore, and he doesn't want to go back to that street full of squalor and deceit.

Everything can start with the best day and become even better...... More ......

"Woohoo......!"

Suddenly, Cream's teeth clenched.

He clutched the ring in both hands, his eyes filled with anger once again with sadness and despair.

"Wolf Fez, Merlin Whisperer...... You want to kill me, don't you? Well, I'm going to kill you too! ”

"I won't run away again, even if I die, I will drag you all to the end! The entrance to hell is for people like us, and you must have thought about this day for a long time, right? Well, let's give it a try! ”

As soon as he thought of it, Cream drank the milk from the cup and got up again.

But what do you do after that?

He began to think about his current situation. But soon, he suddenly remembered what he had just heard from the mermaid president!

Shine Forest, Trap!

As he thought of these words, he began to close his eyes and carefully recall the state in which the short man would say these words.

As he thought, the two decorative daggers on the short man's belt immediately jumped into his mind.

Thinking of the two daggers, Cream looked at the two broken daggers he had stuck on the table.

In that case, you're welcome. Cream drew her broken dagger and thrust it into its scabbard, making a little sure that there was no one in the hall, and the cat was lying asleep on its cushion before tiptoeing towards the storage room at the back of the hall.

Pushing open the door of the storage room, the lights had gone out in the huge space. But in the distance, the short leader and the necromancer could be seen standing together, walking to a wall with iron shields, hammers, and leather armor.

"Brother President, we ...... Really don't help that thief? He's pitiful...... We can't kill someone, but we should help him escape...... It's still okay, right? ”

The necromancer's kindness touched Cream a little, but he still hid his figure in the darkness and slowly approached the two in front of him. In the distance, he could see the two daggers on the short man's waist.

"Why do you want to help him so much? Is it because of the magician with the True Eye? ”

"Isn't it? That's a badass guild with members of that evil mage's organization! ”

"Then Coco, let me ask you, is it true that as long as you were once a member of this magician organization, whether you are now or not a member of this organization, you will be a bad person all your life, and you will never be able to become a good person?"

The necromancer was momentarily speechless when asked.

Hiding in the shadows, Cream saw the corners of the little girl's mouth twitch slightly, and after a few moments, she finally gave up and said no more.

The short man smiled, reached out and rubbed the necromancer's head, and at the same time took the two short swords from his waist and placed them neatly on the hanger on the wall, and then said, "By the way, Coco, don't go to the Shining Forest for a while. In order to save some food expenses, I put a lot of traps in the forest. If you go and accidentally fall into a trap, you're in trouble. ”

The little necromancer paused for a moment, and said a little anxiously, "Brother President, is our economic situation really so bad? Do we all need to start hunting game for dinner? ”

The short man smiled and continued to reassure his guild members, "It's not true, it's just better than nothing." It's just that if you've been commissioned to enter the Shining Forest lately, you remember, I've definitely marked the tree next to the trap. I've installed a total of eight traps, and I've written down a rough map of the traps. ”

As he spoke, the president took out a piece of paper from his arms, placed it on a low table next to him, and said with a smile: "It's getting late now, so come and take a closer look tomorrow when you have time." You can also ask Brad to come over and make a note that there is a problem in the forest. ”

The necromancer nodded.

The two of the Mermaid Song slowly walked out of the storage room as they spoke.

Creamie waited until the door was completely closed, and lay dormant in the darkness for a long time, to make sure that no one could disturb him, and then he lunged towards the place where the short man had placed his weapon, and silently lit up the fire.

Without hesitation, he took the two short swords, put down the fire fold, and jerked out the scabbard.

The edge of the fanged dagger still radiates a breathtaking light even in such a dark environment. The sharp blade and the slightly curved blade of the sword can't help but make your heart beat faster when you look at the cream!

With a beaming face, he thrust his two short swords into his waist, then walked over to the low table and picked up the map to take a look.

"If I make it back alive, I'll have your help out of my shit. I apologize to you and kowtow until you are satisfied. But if I can't come back, you should spend some money to help me with the funeral. ”

With that, Cream kicked the map into his arms, quickly rushed out of the storage room, grabbed a random bit of bread and bread in the kitchen, quietly opened the door to the guild, and disappeared into the night of Pelican Town like a puff of smoke.
