Chapter 104 Win-win

If it were Arrow himself, he would never believe in such a thing as a simple promise. After the captain stabilized his mood and looked at his side, he smiled and spread his hands and said, "Fighting is always the last means that can be used. From an economic point of view, there is no doubt that fighting each other is a last resort. And this approach often comes at the cost of its own attrition. ”

With that, he reached out and pointed to the corpses of the three ghouls lying on the ground over there. By this time, Cream had opened the chest cavity of a ghoul and dug out a large chunk of gold from it.

"Who would want to fight each other all day long if they could make money in peace? Captain Muppet, look—"

Arrow held out his hand, and Cream froze for a moment, but still handed the gold into his palm.

"How wonderful is the color of this gold? This piece is probably worth about four or five hundred gold coins, right? But, unfortunately, we in Mermaid Song have not seen this piece of gold or touched it. It is completely out of our sight. You say, right? Captain Muppet. ”

The puppet walked over and looked at the piece of gold that Arrow handed over, and his eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

Similarly, the faces of the members behind the puppets were shocked and surprised, after all, they probably didn't know where the gold from this gold mine came from.

"Merfolk Song...... What do you mean? Are you trying to buy us? ”

Arrow smiled, shoved the gold in his hand directly into the puppet's hand, and continued, "Not to be bribed, but to ask for a chance to make these two guys (pointing to whiskey and polyester) confess their mistakes in front of the Count. When you get out of this mine, please beat these two guys hard, preferably with a blue nose and swollen face. Sending them to the Earl like this must have been enough to discourage the Count. In this way, your team can make money, our mermaid song can be full of favors, these two guys can not break their hands, and the count can also save his own face. Why not do this kind of thing that is good for everyone? ”

After listening to Arrow's explanation, the corners of Captain Muppet's mouth finally slowly raised a smile. He weighed the nugget in his hand and stuffed it into his arms. But after that, he raised the weapon in his hand again, and he didn't seem to want to compromise at all.

"Greeting, Lady of the Mermaid's Song, you think very beautifully. For a piece of gold, buy the arms of these two guys. But you don't seem to have thought that since we already know the source of the gold mines, then we don't have to worry about you at all, why don't we just pan for gold here? And...... Hehe, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me chopping off those two guys' arms, or even your guild's heads. ”

Brad and the others, who had been vigilant in the back, were naturally anxious when they heard the puppet say this.

After all, they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and in terms of combat ability, the Song of the Mermaid is probably no match for this regular army now.

What's more, even Cream, including Cream, thinks the puppet is right. He could have collected the gold nuggets and continued to kill himself, after all, the corpse eaters are in this cave, they have no shortage of manpower, and their combat strength is sufficient, why should they keep their promise to you because you gave this piece of gold?

But......

Arrow, but the corners of his mouth still have that faint smile.

"Well, in theory, Captain Muppet can do that. But in reality, it is not necessary. ”

Muppet: "What do you say?" ”

"Count Karp is well aware of the gold in this cave, so if you and your team want to steal the gold nuggets here, then we will have to kill our Mermaid Song and those two soldiers."

"But in other words, if Count Karp finds out that our Mermaid Song has not returned to his life, and all the people who have entered the cave and come back safely are only your team, what will Count Karp guess?"

Eero didn't point it out, after all, leaving a little room for the other party to imagine himself was far more threatening than making it clear himself.

"On the other hand, although our Merfolk Song has not been in Pelican Town for a long time, it has a good relationship with the townspeople. Even if we came to cooperate with the army this time, we reassured the townspeople not to be nervous. In this case, once we are all wiped out, the townsfolk in Pelican Town will immediately feel that your army is a great threat, and their behavior may become radical and start to cause you a lot of trouble. ”

The puppet snorted, "Do you think I'll be afraid of these troubles?" ”

Arrow shook his head and continued to smile, "As I said earlier, you can handle it, but there's no need to be so troublesome. Anyone's time and energy are not blown by the wind, rather than to deal with these troubles, it is better to count how much money they have earned, and it is more comfortable to drink wine with a beautiful woman in your arms, isn't it? ”

While the Muppets were thinking, Arrow continued, "This is your option, kill our Mermaid Song and the two soldiers over there, and seize the gold nuggets. This way you will feel safe in a short period of time because no one knows exactly what you have done. In the long run, Pelican Town will be a source of instability, and Count Karp's side will become uncertain. Ah, while I don't know if Count Karp is really as heartless as he seems, his mistress doesn't look like the type of person who will obediently wait for his man to be deflated. ”

It's not just the puppets, but the soldiers around whiskey and polyester over there are also you look at me, I look at you, look a little hesitant, and the weapons of the two soldiers are now involuntarily put down.

"Now I'll talk about the option that will be good for both of us, aren't you worried that our Mermaid Song will accuse you of stealing gold nuggets? But in fact, you don't need to worry at all. ”

The puppet's eyes lit up slightly: "Oh? Why? ”

Arrow smiled and said, "Because after you accepted the gold nuggets, a bribe relationship was formed between our Mermaid Song and you. As a serious businessman, would I have nothing to do with the people I bribed with? Although I know very well that with your strength, Captain, you should be able to come to the gold mine to hunt alone, but after receiving this gold nugget, your attitude towards our guild should not be so tough, right? It shouldn't be difficult to open a convenient door for our guild in various things in the future, right? ”

"Besides, since Count Karp was able to let you carry out the task of teaching these two guys a lesson, he must have a little trust in you, right? I don't have the confidence to stir up a wedge between you and Count Karp because of such a nugget. Because I don't have the confidence to stir up a wedge between the two, I can't just throw you into jail because of a nugget of gold. Once the punishment you receive is relatively less painful, then when you are free and want to take revenge on our guild, then we don't have the confidence to stop you. ”

Hearing this, the puppet lowered his head again and thought about it.

After a few moments, the captain seemed to have finally figured it out, and the seriousness and vigilance on his face were now immediately replaced by a smile.

He put away his weapons, and when his soldiers saw their boss put away their weapons, they naturally put away their weapons one after another, and retreated from the whiskey and polyester.

"Mermaid Song, your name is ...... Airo Garcia: Right? ”

The puppet smiled, reached out and patted Arrow's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile-

"As a businessman, you're really sensible. Well, you're right! More is better than less, isn't it just to get rich when you're out and about. Since the matter of gold nuggets can be made by the earl, it is nothing for our men to take any of them. Yes! Since you have pleaded like this, then I will spare these two guys under the punishment of the earl! ”

Now that he is finally out of trouble, the tense muscles of whiskey and polyester have finally relaxed at this moment.

Seeing them breathe a sigh of relief like this, Arrow sneered and immediately shouted, "What are you giving away?" When you get out, you're going to be beaten up! Do you really think it's that easy to keep an arm?! ”

The two of them, who had just relaxed, were nervous again because of Arrow's words, and they looked at the soldiers of the puppets and saw that these soldiers all had mocking expressions on their faces. But there is no way, if you still want peace now, I'm afraid you can really only get beaten up......

Although Arrow was ostensibly mocking whiskey and polyester when he shouted this, he was relieved when he saw the expressions on the faces of the soldiers.

Whiskey and polyester are not weak, and if they are going to fight to the death, then maybe one or two of these soldiers will have to explain here.

Since it has now changed from the original sword fighting to being able to solve the problem with only fists and kicks, then these soldiers are naturally in an absolutely safe position. It is precisely because of absolute safety that they laugh at it like this. It was precisely because of their ridicule that Arrow was able to ensure that these people really regarded the beating they were waiting for as just a violent beating, and would not think of taking people's lives.

Reaching a consensus, Arrow finally exhaled.

It's really hard to save people, in order to save these two "faithful" soldiers, they can be regarded as having died a lot of brain cells, and now even the gold nuggets have to be confessed, and the price is really not small.

Turning his head, Arrow waved his hand to calm his guild members.

After that, it's time to cut off the two remaining corpse eaters over there.

Mermaid Song is still very proficient in the physiological logic of the ghoul, and Cream and Brad are cut separately.

In a few moments, the chest of the ghoul in Cream's hand had been opened, but when he reached out and pulled out its heart......
