For a moment...... No, there were many moments when Arrow really wanted to give this big man a raise!

But every time like this, he forces himself to calm down and not to be impulsive. The more loyal employees are, the less they need to raise their wages, which is a great way to save money!

But...... Alas, no, I still can't help it! It's impossible to increase your salary, but you can give a bonus! After this guild championship battle, if everything goes well, he will definitely give Brad a big red envelope!

Certain!

Seeing that Brad got up and left, Cheese also clapped his hands and got up, leaving a sentence: "I don't listen to it either, I guessed it, I'll accompany our warriors." ”

Afterwards, Cheese also walked to the side with Brad.

Looking at the rest of these people, Arrow exhaled, and naturally said the guess in his heart-

"First of all, we need to understand that the archipelago that these villagers occupy is actually controlled by the villagers. But nominally, this is still the property of the empire. ”

"The reason why the Empire doesn't care about this archipelago is simply because it didn't think about it before. However, just because I didn't think it would be forgotten forever, the archipelago began to be surrounded by warm currents more than a decade ago, so that the warm waters brought a lot of resources to the archipelago. ”

"The villagers have used these warm waters to breed thick starfish in the past ten years, but the villagers never imagined that with the passage of time, the empire will of course realize that there will be such a large, beautiful environment and such a warm climate in a place just a day's trip from the capital!"

"I don't know what the Empire wants this archipelago to be used for, but it's a perfect place for farming, sightseeing, or even building a resort palace. But this perfect place is now used by the dozens of villagers to raise thick-fleshed starfish, which is a fodder food? ”

"The old man named Hay Willing himself said that some people came to talk to them about moving them in the past, right? Unfortunately, it wasn't a simple request for a sale, but an order to get them out of the sea at once."

"Unfortunately, they have refused to move. After coming and going, the empire became bored with these nail households that couldn't be driven away. However, due to the situation of the empire, it is not possible to really send troops to drive these people away or kill them. But if you use the guild system to delegate, you will also fall into a bit of a trick. If it is publicized, it is always not a good thing for the face of the royal family. ”

"So, the royal family came up with the idea of using the format of this guild championship to arrange the second game with two such unique mission systems."

"First of all, it's the mission of the sea sand shell."

"The mission was designed for two purposes. One is to create a sense of urgency in guilds that don't have the means to complete the first task. Because human beings will always have such a mentality, when they knew that there was only one chance, they were suddenly told that they had two chances, then they would have a relaxed attitude for the first chance. However, when the first guild fails and becomes irretrievable, people will show extreme madness and cherish the remaining opportunity, and will be more willing to pay a lot of money to complete it. This may be the so-called 'only after understanding and losing, but then knowing how to cherish'. ”

"And after the first mental word is generated, the second use of the first task is to make a suggestion."

"Sea Sand Bessels can only live in warm waters, which naturally makes the rest of the guilds struggle to find the warm waters near Hanhai City. In this way, people will naturally be directed to the location of the task. ”

"Then, the second mission, hunt 200 thick-fleshed starfish, and bring back the starfish's mouthparts."

"The real purpose of this mission is only one, and that is to let us adventurers go bankrupt on the island's economy in one fell swoop by hunting the fleshy starfish."

"There are not many farms of ordinary thick-fleshed starfish, not only are there not many, but because these starfish are basically used as food or feed for the poor, and there is not much economic value in the vicinity of Hanhai City, which relies on seafood, the scale of those formal and licensed farms is not large."

"If you want a place where a large number of guilds can hunt 200 thick-fleshed starfish, after some investigation, we adventurers will naturally find this remote archipelago without a license."

"Since the empire revoked their license a few years ago, even if they are still trying to breed, in terms of status, those thick-fleshed starfish are still equivalent to the wild. In this case, we adventurers rushed over because of the mission and took out the aquatic products that had been cultivated for two or three years, completely destroying the economy of the archipelago. After they can't live normally, their only fate is to sell it back to the empire for a very low price, and then leave in disgrace. ”

"And as I said earlier, even if there is any bad news after these villagers leave, it must be something like 'unscrupulous adventurers have robbed them of their livelihoods'. After the news spread, the royal family was able to show their warmth and generosity, and accept the villagers to live in Hanhai City, but they could gain de facto control of the archipelago. ”

"In this way, all the benefits of face are taken by the royal family, and we adventurers are acting as black faces, and we are directly scolded shamelessly."

After saying this, Arrow looked at the flesh of the thick starfish in his hand, watched the oil splash on the meat and bubble, and said, "It's baked, now let's taste it." I'd like to see how these thick-fleshed starfish taste different from those found elsewhere. ”

Others pick up the roast one by one and take a bite.

Well......

The surface is slightly crispy, and the meat underneath is really soft and glutinous.

However, these soft and glutinous meats are actually large slices of fatty meat, and they do taste better than before, but the fatty taste is not much better when you bite into it.

Indeed, it can only be regarded as food for the poor or fodder.

"Brother President...... This thing...... Is it so scary from start to finish...... I'm sorry...... I...... I ......"

Arrow smiled and nodded lightly at Coco, "Even if I don't rob it, others will start robbing it." After we robbed them, after beating them, they won't have conflicts with other guilds again. It's a bad guy feeling, so be it. ”

Tearing away the fat from the surface slightly, Arrow sniffed the oil coming from inside and took another bite of the flesh inside.

Although it is not as greasy as it seems, the meat inside looks a little woody and dry, as if the fat on the surface cannot penetrate into the dry meat at all. It's really ...... It's not very tasty.

But...... Maybe it can be used to extract oil?

Or further, the best use of these thick-fleshed starfish is not actually for eating, but for extracting oil for industrial use? As for the dry and firewood meat in it, these should be the reasons why the thick-fleshed starfish will become very small after drying, right? This meat is really good when used as feed!

"It's okay for you to hear about these things here, but don't say it."

Arrow said as he looked at the thick piece of meat starfish in his hand—

"This matter is about the face of the royal family, and if you poke it out casually, it will be a big problem. Even if the mastermind behind the scenes is not the royal family, it must be some kind of magnate, and we belong to the kind that can't be beaten. Shut up, just listen to it, and rot in your stomach, that's it, you know? ”

After listening to the cause and effect, Coco finally nodded. The little girl curled her neck a little depressedly and began to bite the dry food she was carrying.

Instead, Cream on the side whispered, "President, so what do we do next?" Would you like to stay here for one night and go back tomorrow? ”

Arrow thought for a moment, looked up and looked in the direction of the cabin again. But now the night is dark, and the cabin is almost out of sight.

Margaux frowned: "Why do you always go to see that house?" ”

Arrow smiled and said, "It's okay, I just think the house is quite beautiful." Specifically, how to deal with this matter. Well...... My idea was to try to get the last money out of the villagers, and then let them go and not cause trouble again. ”

"After all, fundamentally, the reason why they are still alive is because we royal family don't want to make things too complicated and too ...... Bloody. But if they still insist on leaving, or if they deliberately cause some trouble...... What the man-eating whale said just now is right, even if we really kill those villagers here, I guess the royal family will not have any opinion on us. Because this is equivalent to us pulling out a thorn in the flesh for the royal family. ”

"President, I don't think you have a good impression of the royal family?" At that moment, Margaux suddenly spoke.

This made Arrow slightly stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Margaux continued: "As you just said, it is possible that other people want this archipelago, and those villagers did not say that it was the royal family who told them to get out, so why do you think that the royal family must have done these things? ”
