Chapter 72 The President's Work is Never Finished
As soon as he walked out of the castle, the Viscount Ruichi, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately ran over excitedly. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to reach out and grab Arrow's neckline again, and Arrow naturally ducked behind Brad to avoid too much contact with the viscount.
"How did you go in for so long? I'm here! β¦β¦ Well? β
Just as he was about to attack, Viscount Ritch suddenly saw two corpses carried on the shoulders of Brad and the undead soldier. He paused slightly, then the expression on his face became slightly sad, and said, "They...... Is it painful to die? β
"I don't know." Arrow stepped out from behind Brad and shook his head gently, "But at least, they can have a decent funeral." Also, there's this. β
As everyone walked in the direction of Pelican Town, Arrow took out the belongings of the two warriors and handed the four gold coins to Viscount Ruichi: "This is their relic, and again, this is the unspent money found on their corpses." Since their mission has failed, then let me return it to you. β
Viscount Ruichi nodded, unceremoniously accepted the gold coin, put it in his money bag and patted it gently. Then, he looked up and down at Arrow in front of him with a slightly puzzled expression. After a long time, he said, "I thought you would steal these gold coins. β
Arrowhaha laughed: "It's not my money, it's hot." Plus, your Swan Castle has been cleaned up and there are no more monsters inside. However, if you really want to move in, I'm afraid you'll need to hire someone to clean it up. β
As soon as it came to cleaning up, Viscount Ruichi, who was still a little sentimental just now, suddenly became irritable. He turned his head and looked at the ugly castle in the distance that had been burned to the shape of charcoal, and then began to blow through his nose, looking up and down at Arrow, his face full of dissatisfaction: "If they were official members of the Heavenly Light, they would definitely complete this task even more beautifully!" Hmph, the country guild in a small place in the countryside really doesn't have a good level. β
Coco in the back looked angry, but this little girl also learned to be obedient, but she just held back her face and didn't have a seizure. This also made Arrow feel that his educational policy was indeed starting to work.
Arrow smiled and said, "Well, it's all about safety." A castle can be repainted if it is charred, but a person cannot be resurrected after death. By the way, Viscount Ruichi, now that the mission is complete, then your mind has been solved, I strongly recommend that you go to the castle lookout first. That scenery~~! It's truly beautiful! β
Seeing that he had already entered Pelican Town, Viscount Ruichi snorted with his nose again, and looked at Arrow with disgust: "I don't need you to explain, I naturally know what the benefits are of the castle I bought." All right! Now it's time for town, here's one for you. β
As he spoke, Viscount Ruichi took out the four gold coins from his pocket again and put them in Arrow's hand-
"These two people, I'll put them here for you first. You make them two coffins, and then you get some sacrifices from your countrymen, all that messy custom, all that. Then send them to the Heavenly Light Guild in Hanhai City, their guild should know about these two people's hometowns, relatives and friends, or something. Use the rest of this money to give it to their relatives and friends. β
After giving the order, Viscount Ruichi looked at the remains of the two warriors again with a slightly apologetic look. But then, he glared at the people of the Mermaid Song Guild again with that very disgusted look, turned around and left with his two bodyguards.
Coco walked up from behind and snorted, "This person is really too rude." Brother President, I hate him. β
Cream stared at the four gold coins in Arrow's hand and said with a smile, "President, it seems that our guild has extra income." β
Arrow shrugged his shoulders and said lightly-
"Really?"
Seven days later, the coffin of the Sword Warrior and the Spear Warrior was customized. Arrow buried the bodies of the two men with great dignity, and solemnly closed the coffin under the ceremony presided over by the mayor of Round Cheese.
Out of merit for Arrow's books, the tax collector also participated in the burial ceremony. In his capacity as an Imperial official, he announced that the two warriors had fought the Monster and died with great honor. And after the end, he accepted the rest of the money, and solemnly promised to take the two coffins to Lagoon City, and transfer the coffins to Hanhai City.
Viscount Ruichi did not participate in the burial ceremony, but Arrow never let Coco speak ill of that guy. At first, Coco couldn't understand it, but when she saw that the money was constantly being spent throughout the ceremony, she seemed to finally understand something.
Although Arrow didn't use Coco to say to himself, it was far better to see her consciously shut up than his dull preaching.
- October 13, 1301, food expenses: -2 gold, 3 copper, 1 iron, lumberjack: -8 silver, soldiers' funeral commission: 4 gold, coffin, car escort, inheritance: -4 gold, sundries commission: 3 copper, money laundering income: 2 gold, balance: 89 gold, 4 silver, 7 bronze and 5 iron (stolen money expenditure: -4 gold, stolen money balance: 36 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze) -
Arrow wondered why he had so much work to do.
Look at the daily account books, and then look at the fact that I try my best to maintain this state of balance every day, and I have to drill into the money almost every day for my goal in three years.
Isn't that weird when you think about it? Didn't you look at the bosses of those big guilds very relaxed? All day long, you either eat and drink or travel everywhere, and you can also become a nobleman.
But why does he, the guild leader, work so hard, and worry about so many iron coins every day?
Looking at your income and expenditure account books, the more people the guild has to support, the more expenses will become.
Even if you don't do anything a day, you have to spend 2 copper and 1 iron on food, and now that the autumn has passed nearly halfway, it won't be long before winter comes, and at that time, your guild will have no work to do, wouldn't this make your guild run empty in winter?
Arrow sighed, and finally decided to put the books aside first, or do his job first.
Picking up the pen, Arrow closed his eyes and thought about the appearance of those rotten spiders again, took out the picture album of the rotten spiders drawn by Cream, slightly modified them, added some notes, and then began to write-
ββββ
Monster: Rotting Spider
Size: The tallest reaches two meters, and the newborn rotting spider is only the size of the palm of a hand.
Eating habits: carnivorous
Environment: Dark, narrow area
Appearance: Insect spider monster appearance, with large green spots on the body surface
Habits: Likes dark, narrow areas, and has an extreme dislike for light. He is good at ambushing in dark areas, waiting for opportunities to sneak up on prey, and injecting his own venom into the prey, and then eating it after poisoning the prey.
Strength: Adult Rotting Spiders are powerful, and if they are not properly weakened, they can easily cause casualties, especially their huge numbers, and it is very likely that they will be wiped out if they are rashly opposed. Venom is deadly, and a single drop on a broken skin can incapacitate and even die. It is unclear whether taking it from the mouth will have the same lethal effect.
Weaknesses: The limbs and body parts are soft, and can be used for regular attacks with weapons such as slashing, piercing, etc. Fear of fire and light, especially fire, can greatly reduce the strength and toxins of the Rotting Spider.
How to cope: It's best if you can use fire magic, but the most appropriate way is to choose a sunny day to burn the site where the rotten spiders are entrenched. Some strong rotting spiders will choose to rush out head-on, but at this time they are generally weaker, so it is not difficult to deal with them with good defense, good equipment, and good manpower.
However, some Rotten Spiders may have lower intelligence, and will choose between death and injury to escape. It's unclear how far this intelligence can go.
Monster Strength Evaluation: Monomer, Moderate Threat. Swarm, high threat. After weakening, low threat.
ββββ
After writing the monster illustrated book, Arrow stretched. But at this moment, two people walked in from outside the guild gate, looking at each other at the same time, looking very uncertain.
"Welcome! Is there anything I can do to help both? β
Arrow hurriedly put down the pen and paper, stood up and greeted him with a smile.
The two men wore improvised armor made of the Imperial assembly line, swords around their waists, and a turquoise badge on their chests that symbolized the Imperial soldiers.
Such a dress is what makes Eero show unparalleled enthusiasm!
Because he knew that the moment of truth he had been waiting for, for better or worse, had finally arrived.
The two Imperial soldiers looked left and right, and finally focused their eyes on the short boy in front of them, and said, "This is the Mermaid Song Guild, right?" What about your presidents? β
Ero pulled the hat on his head and strode behind the counter, still smiling: "Despicable name Ero Garcia, the president of the Mermaid Song." Is there anything I can do to help you both? β
"You're the president?"
The two Imperial soldiers still looked Arrow up and down, as if they couldn't believe that the short man in front of him, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, was actually the president of a guild.
However, when they looked at the guild's simple dΓ©cor again, they seemed to nod.
"Small place, no way."
One of the soldiers spoke, and the two walked over to the counter. But when facing the barstool, he didn't sit down, and he still stood so straight.
