Chapter 24 Business is booming

"Yo he, I'm here to take care of your business! Small fish. ”

Seeing Arrow walk out, the other five people didn't seem to pay much attention, but just shifted their eyes to Arrow. Only Cream stepped forward to speak. But even if he tried his best to hide it, he could still see the deliberately concealed scars and bruises on the thief's face.

Arrow looked at the cream and walked into the bar without moving, continuing to smile on his face.

The others sat down in the seating area of the hall to rest, but their eyes did not take their eyes off Cream. Moreover, it was definitely not a look of respect, but more like a malicious intent full of some kind of defense.

The thief laughed and sat down at the bar: "Is there any wine?" As an adventurer's guild, it should be very common to sell some drinks or something, right? ”

He raised his hand, pretending to ask for wine, but he was careful to hide a black patch on his forehead.

Arrow smiled, "If you want to drink, I highly recommend the unicorn bar in our town, the owner of it, Little Spirit, is my friend." You bring your friend over and report my name, and I'll ask the boss to give you a 20% discount! ”

Cream laughed again, he seemed to be laughing happily, but his eyes were constantly glancing at Arrow, as if he was begging for something.

But after a few moments, when he could still only see the commercial smile in Arrow's eyes, the thief finally withdrew his gaze, lowered his hand, and stopped hiding the wound on his forehead.

"I'm here to introduce you to business."

Arrow knocked on the table and said with a smile-

"This time, we're going to go to the mine. Ah, these are my friends and my fellows in the same guild. This time is different from the last time, but this time we are well prepared! ”

"Oh? Prepared? ”

Arrow's eyes immediately exploded, and he took out a rolled drawing from under the counter and put it on the table, and began to greet the team of adventurers who had not spoken all this time.

"You want to be a permanent member of our guild, right? No problem! Our Mermaid Song is absolutely well served! I've heard that you're well prepared, but I'd like to ask, do you have a map of the mine? ”

These five people probably didn't expect that Arrow would suddenly talk to them, and they didn't react for a while.

Seeing that the five people did not react, Ai Luo simply picked up the drawings, walked up to the mage who looked the most arrogant and had a magic array buckle on his chest, and said with a mercenary smile: "This respected mage, in addition to providing short-term food and lodging, our guild also provides the sale of other adventure-related products. You see, this is a map that our guild has created after visiting the mine again and again. There are detailed information about the various locations inside the mine! It will definitely reduce the chance that you will get lost in it, or go the wrong way! Now all you need is one gold coin! Since you want to be prepared, it should be absolutely necessary to buy a copy of our map package, right? ”

Before the magician could speak, the archer on the side stretched out his hand: "The whole map of the mine? It's true? Show it to me. ”

Arrow didn't hide it, and handed it over directly.

The archer opened it and was immediately amazed by the detailed depictions of the various locations on it. Similarly, the mage, who had not reacted to Arrow just now, shook his body and came behind the archer to look at the map. After a few seconds, I couldn't help but nod secretly.

"It's very detailed, and it seems that the painter must have put a lot of effort into it."

Of course, it took half a morning to spend the night!

Arrow duly stretched out his hand and took it back before the men could fully memorize the map in their heads: "So, do you want a copy?" ”

A warrior with a shield spoke: "It's good, but a map for a gold coin?" Although your map is detailed, it doesn't seem to depict too many places, and I glanced at it just now, and there are still a lot of forks in the road that you haven't drawn, right? This kind of thing has the most silver coins per coin. ”

Of course, Arrow knew he was opening his mouth.

In terms of the quality of the maps, ten of them are not as good as the accurate cartographers in the capital, and those ordinary maps can be sold in the shops of the capital for a few copper coins, and at most a few silver coins can be done.

However, if you have the courage to ask for a gold coin, it is not that you want to deliberately raise the bar.

"Hehe, at first glance it seems that a gold coin and a map are indeed a bit expensive. However, our guild's map can be updated. ”

Arrow rolled up the map, put it back on the counter, and said with a smile: "Our guild will also need to explore the mine from time to time, so as long as the mine is explored, then the map will be updated accordingly." All you need to do now is buy one for one gold, and any future updates to this map in Song of the Merfolk will be completely free! No more iron coins! ”

"In the same way, if you don't buy it this time, it doesn't matter, the next time our guild updates a new map, it may have to be sold for two gold coins. Similarly, after two coins, we also promise a free update forever. ”

"I bought it early, and it looks like I'm losing money, but it's actually a big profit! The earlier you buy, the more you can enjoy the continuous high-quality service in the later stage! This map may not be completed by one percent now, but if you buy it early, a map of the entire mine that is a hundred times larger than this one can be given to you for free in the future, what a good deal it would be! And that's just the price of a gold coin! ”

With Arrow's impassioned advertisement, these adventurers look at me, I look at you, and they seem to be gradually moved.

Finally, the magician nodded slightly, reached into his arms, pulled out a shiny gold coin, flicked his fingers, and flew towards Arrow.

"The boss is very good at business."

Smack-

Eero took it accurately and weighed it in his hand, how could this golden round object be so beautiful?!

Magician: "I bought the map, for the sake of the boss's eloquent voice." My name is Merlin Whisperer, and I really hope to continue working with such an interesting guild as yours in the future. ”

Arrow nodded, then walked back to the counter, took out another illustrated book from under the counter, and handed it to Merlin along with the map.

Looking at this illustrated book, Merlin looked a little puzzled. He opened it, and after seeing the detailed description of the Bloody Bug, he looked at Arrow with an appreciative look.

"Thank you very much for your trust, this Bestiary should be a gift. Truth be told, I've only been able to find out the basics of this one bloody bug now, and I'm sure it's always better to prepare this kind of thing, isn't it? ”

Merlin nodded, and began to observe the Bestiary of the Bloody Bug again. Taking advantage of this, Arrow turned and walked to the back of the hall, only to see Coco, Brad and Parfay now hiding in the dead corner behind the stairs and sneaking a peek at this side. The cat was lying on Coco's head at some point.

(whispering) Why are you so restrained? Come out, it's easy for me to get tired of singing a one-man show alone. Don't look like I'm at a loss and give away the illustrated book for nothing, and then give the other party some unexpected small discounts after the business is negotiated, but it's easy to increase the other party's favorability of our guild. (loudly) since you are well prepared! Then you have to do all-round protection! In addition to maps and Bestiary, our guild has also developed special healing potions for use in the mines! ”

As he spoke, Arrow stretched out his hand, but when he saw that Coco was holding the three bottles of potions, he didn't mean to let go, so he immediately reached over and grabbed the three bottles of potions in his hand.

"(whispering) Brother President! No...... Don't ......"

Coco's sudden burst of voice made Arrow hesitate slightly, and he lowered his head, only to see Coco's eyes glancing at Merlin in great horror, especially at the eyeball magic circle buckle on his chest.

Ai Luo froze slightly, but in the next second, he regained that commercial smile again, and walked out happily with the healing potion in his arms: "This is a healing potion carefully developed by our guild, we don't need to drink it!" As soon as you slam it on the ground, the healing smoke in it will heal the wounds of the body in no time! Whether it is a broken hand or foot or a intestine being pulled out, or even a cardiac arrest, as long as the treatment is timely, it can definitely save everyone in danger and escort your adventure! Now you only need 5 credits per bottle, and if you buy 2 bottles, you will get a free bottle! With just one more gold coin, you'll be able to get three mine-specific healing potions! ”

Seeing how hard Arrow was shouting, Merlin put away the map and illustrated book, and raised his hand with a smile to reassure: "Okay, okay, it's the first time I've seen such a hard sell." You really don't look like the leader of an adventurer's guild, and if it weren't for what Cream said, I'd have thought you'd gone to the wrong door and ended up in a business guild. ”

He came to Arrow, raised his hand and selected among the three bottles of potion, then picked up one and stuffed it into his arms, and groped his fingers in his robe: "I'll just buy one bottle, I won't let you sell it in vain." Besides, we were just going to have a temporary residency in your guild before we went to the mines. Since you seem so familiar with the mines, so be it. ”

Fingers stretched out, and another golden, round thing appeared in front of Arrow's eyes, which made his saliva almost run down his eyes.

"How about I'll add you five more silver coins and hire your Mermaid Song to act with us, as our guide, and then go to the mines?"

As soon as this proposal came out, the smile on Arrow's face became even brighter. However, it is the business smile that has become brighter.

Coco in the back covered her mouth, and her whole body began to tremble with fear. She looked at Arrow in horror, and her little head unconsciously began to shake from side to side, for fear that she would say a "yes" word from the mouth of her own president!

This reaction may have been too unexpected, and Brad, Parfay, and even Napa all looked at the little girl with a slightly puzzled look, wondering what was wrong with her.

"That's right, but after the last mission, I think the mission in the mine should be at least the 'bronze' level, and at the last time, the 'iron' level of the top mission."

As he spoke, Arrow stretched out his finger and pointed to the wall of the hall, on which hung the task descriptions and charging standards of the five levels of stone, iron, copper, silver, and gold.

Merlin looked at it, not knowing whether it was contempt or whether he felt that this little guild was too shabby, and a mocking smile unconsciously emanated from his nose.

But then, he nodded, took out five silver coins from his arms again, and put them on the counter with one gold coin just now: "Understood, a gold coin, hire your guild to accompany us to the next mine." How about such a price? ”

Arrow also put the gold coin in his hand on the counter, looking at the bright 2 gold and 5 silver, he felt a little dizzy.

Wouldn't it be nice to have this kind of collection every day in the future? 1,000 gold coins can be raised in just over a year!

Alas, if there is nothing wrong with this matter, it is really a pie-in-the-sky thing!

However, there are always traps that fall from the sky.

"Dear Master Merlin, your shot...... It's really generous. ”

Looking at the money on the table, Arrow didn't gather them in his arms again.

How beautiful is this gold...... Beauty is like being hot, and if you casually carry it in your arms, you may not only not be able to cover it, but you may also be burned.

He raised his head and glanced at the silent cream on the other side, and as soon as the eyes of the two sides made contact, the thief immediately nodded slightly, and there seemed to be a pleading color in his eyes again.

Turning his head, he looked at the dead spot under the stairs over there.

Coco's current expression also made Arrow's mind flutter. I believe that if he hadn't been standing here, this little necromancer would have hid directly in the alchemy room behind him and shivered.

After thinking about it for a long time, Arrow finally made up his mind.

He raised his head and looked at Merlin in front of him and said slowly: "This task, our guild can take it." But now that they're all out to work, can you give us a night and I'll discuss it when they come back before we decide whether to take it or not? ”

Now that the words have come to this point, Merlin is not welcome. He strode over to the counter, picked one of the two golden coins, and put it in his arms. Seeing this action, although he was still smiling on his face, his heart was dripping blood as if he had been cut twice.

"We'll come back tomorrow, and hopefully you'll be ready to make a decision then."

Merlin turned, glanced up at the hall, and said, "I wanted to stay here with you, but it seems that you are not ready to receive the temporary adventurers. Let's go to the Unicorn Bar for the night. Cream, gone. ”

With that, the magician stepped out of the guild gate without looking back. The next four members stepped forward, grabbed Cream in a manner that was almost akin to an escort, and dragged him out of the guild.

Arrow could see clearly, and before he walked out the door, Cream's eyes were on him again. The pleading in those eyes couldn't be more obvious.
