For this question, Margaux nodded lightly as if she had been prepared for a long time, and said with a smile: "Oh, this? It's actually quite simple. Because we thought, this Necro Eater King was shipped from your Pelican Town anyway. And since the Mermaid Song is the guild of Pelican Town, it should naturally be more proficient in dealing with this kind of monster. Professional things are left to professional people to do, maybe our Earl's soldiers are stronger than you Mermaid Song in terms of combat effectiveness, but in terms of professionalism, it may be really inferior to you~~~"

Truth be told, this reason is perfectly fine.

Arrow really couldn't think of any words to refute this argument right now.

But to be honest, he really didn't want to take this commission.

The strength of Merfolk Song lies in its unity, and in Pelican Town's ability to provide a steady stream of support to its guild.

But now, the Mermaid Song has left his territory to travel to another city, facing the underground passage system of a large city that has never been explored before, and then facing the corpse eater king who no longer knows what kind of corpse he has become, such a task is too dangerous, and the uncertainty factor is too great.

But seeing Count Karp's appearance, he shouldn't allow himself to do nothing and just retreat, right?

Well...... Let's try it first.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this task is a bit difficult—"

"If you of the Mermaid Song refuse to accept this case, then you can only stay here indefinitely."

Margaux seemed to have directly guessed what Arrow was thinking, and directly blocked Arrow's mouth with a word. The mistress waved her hand slightly, and the soldiers around her took a step forward as if instructed to do so, clearly threatening the mermaid song.

Looking at such a battle, Brad, Parfay, Coco, and Cream in the back couldn't help but be vigilant. But before they could react, Arrow had already reached out first, preventing them from taking a confrontational stance.

"I'm afraid the difficulty of this task is a bit high, so correspondingly, our Mermaid Song should be able to get a considerable amount of reward after completing the task, right?"

Facing Arrow, Margaux tilted his head, and his slightly scarlet eyes scanned him from head to toe as if to see through the president's thoughts, and then laughed again: "The reward will definitely not be less." After completing this mission...... Look, how about ten gold coins? ”

If it had been before, Iroh would have really thought it was a lot of money.

But there's no way, now that I'm used to seeing a lot of money, I'm afraid these ten gold coins in front of me can only be regarded as a warm-up, right?

At that moment, Arrow shook his head and said with a smile: "I think, this price must be at least ten times higher, right?" After all, we're dealing with an unknown group of monsters that can instantly turn people into zombies with the slightest scratch or bite. ”

Margaux turned her head and glanced at Count Cap, who seemed to have some pain in his heart and a face full of reluctance. But under Margaux's eyes, he finally nodded and said, "As long as you can solve this trouble!" As long as...... You'll be able to take those damn monsters, all the zombies! Even those who have been injured even the slightest bit are killed! 100 gold coins...... That's a hundred gold coins! But you must promise me! After entering the underground system...... Be sure to kill everything in there! I don't want to leave anything behind! ”

At this point, Arrow finally laughed, he nodded heavily, took out the power of attorney and pen that he had prepared a long time ago, wrote the commission on it, and handed it to Count Karp.

Count Karp was also unambiguous, and signed his name in the client column. At this point, the commission is established.

"Then, since the commission is established, we will take over this job with the mermaid song. Now we want to be able to prepare and take a break. I just don't know if there are any empty rooms on the earl's side that can be prepared by our guild people? Tomorrow, we'll head to the underground system of Teemall City to fight the Corpse Eater King's crusade. ”

An empty room was not a problem, and Count Karp hurriedly asked the maid to arrange a room for Mermaid Song to live in. And when everyone in Merfolk Song had left the room, he breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the couch as if he had completely exhausted his mental strength.

"That's it, right?"

After a long exhale, Count Karp turned his head and looked at Margaux.

Margaux just smiled, but the countess on the other side snorted coldly, got up and left, and didn't care about the two dogs and men anymore.

- June 21, 1302, Food: -4 copper and 2 iron, Travel expenses: -4 silver, 4 copper and 1 iron, Sundry commission: 3 copper, salary: -3 iron, balance: 487 gold, 6 silver, 6 bronze and 8 iron——

Ghouls.

A mermaid song can be regarded as a monster that has been dealt with many times.

Growing in the caves of the Sleeping Mountains, its exact origin is unknown, but it is powerful against slashing and striking weapons, and is not even afraid of fire magic. If you want to kill, you must use a sharp weapon to pierce it in the heart in order to be able to kill it.

Throughout the night, Arrow was filled with all sorts of information about the Ghould.

In fact, he already remembered that those monster illustrated books were ripe, but now that he was fine, he still took them out from time to time to take a look, and at the same time saw if there was anything that could be updated.

So much so that when he got up in the morning, he read it again at breakfast and made sure that there were no mistakes in his memory and the illustrated book.

The rectification of the mermaid song did not last long, after eating breakfast, checking all the equipment on the body, and seeing that the blood beads, antidotes, and magic healing aerosols in the pockets were sufficient, the group walked towards the backyard of the earl's mansion under the guidance of a soldier.

The backyard of the official residence can also be regarded as built against the cliff of the entire Tianhe City, and in the corner of the backyard, after the soldiers opened a gate attached to the cliff, a dark-looking and bottomless passage appeared inside.

Looking at this passage, the soldier who led the way did not intend to take another step inside. At this point, only the Mermaid Song continued to move forward, that is, before everyone had taken a few steps into the passage, the soldiers behind them had already closed the gate non-stop, and then the sound of the blockade could be heard outside.

"Hey! What do you mean by that? Whoever brought us in to destroy the monsters or locked us up?! ”

Brad was so angry that he strode to the door and tried to raise his hammer and smash it.

But Arrow still stopped him, and said with a smile: "People are afraid, we should understand this situation." Anyway, they can be regarded as taking out a hundred gold coins to let us work. ”

Brad pursed his lips, and now he could only take out a torch and light it, acting as a source of light for the crowd.

Cream looked at the tightly sealed iron door and said, "President Arrow, what do you think of this mission?" ”

Arrow shrugged, turned his head to look at the well-groomed passage in front of him, paved with marble and lampposts, and said slowly, "What do you think?" What else can you think about the task that you are forced to take? While I am sure that the Earl must have wished us back alive, I am also certain that he had no intention of paying us as much as 100 gold coins. ”

Hearing Arrow say such words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. With a flick of the word, Coco summoned the undead soldier and the skeleton dog, and she leaned over Arrow and said, "Brother President, why didn't that fat earl plan to pay us?" Is he planning to pay his debts? ”

Brad also nodded, and said with a puzzled expression: "Yes, yes, where did you see that the earl wants us to go back alive, President?" I don't think he wants us to live at all. ”

Airo looked up and sniffed the air, but he didn't smell blood yet. So it seems that there should be no problem with this part of the road.

At that moment, he walked with his own members and said, "Again, there is no conflict of interest between us and Count Karp, and he can't afford to come to trouble us, let alone kill our 'comrades-in-arms' who have helped him a lot." ”

"I've said that many times before, right? We humans are intelligent creatures. No matter how stupid a person may seem, his actions will inevitably conform to the logic of the actions of intelligent beings. ”

"Killing one's 'comrades-in-arms' for no reason is a completely meaningless act that wastes money. When this kind of behavior has no benefit to oneself at all, it is impossible for anyone to do such a thing that is contrary to interests. ”

"So, the Count definitely didn't call us here to kill us. Because that's so wasteful, it's not easy at all, it's not even frugal at all. There are so many ways for a big noble, especially a big nobleman with a lot of wealth, to wipe out a small guild in a remote town, and there is no need to choose such a wasteful method. ”

When the members of the Mermaid Song heard their president talk about how to "thriftly eliminate the guild", they all looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were really as embarrassed as they were.

However, as if he hadn't noticed, Arrow continued, as he walked, "Now that the Count is sure that the Count will never call us here to kill us, let's move on to the next question. Does the Count really want us to solve the city's problems? Judging by my observations, it probably shouldn't. ”
