Chapter 203 - Return to Swan Castle
After taking care of a few miscellaneous items and entertaining the townsfolk who had come to thank and greet them, the people of Merfolk Song moved on to dinner time, gathered around the table, and after chatting a few words about the guild wars, they shifted the conversation to Swan Castle.
"That viscount is really welcome. You human viscounts, there really isn't a good thing. Brad, the title of viscount, is it synonymous with a villain? ”
Parfay's human language is already fluent, and apart from a few bizarre breaks, everything seems relatively natural.
Brad put a bowl of vegetable salad in front of the flower fairy, thought for a moment and said, "Probably not, right?" It's just that I haven't been able to see the viscount very much before...... Aristocrats, maybe it's all like this. ”
Cream picked up a sausage and put it in his mouth to take a bite, shaking his legs as she said, "I said, Uncle Saint Cake, don't underestimate that monster in the basement. That thing is definitely not an easy thing to deal with. We threw the torch down, and it didn't take long for the torch to go out quickly. The evil sect is very good! ”
Holy Cake lowered his head and thought for a moment, and after a moment, he turned his head to look at Arrow on the side: "President Arrow, can you tell me everything you know about Swan Castle in detail?" Listening to Viscount Ruichi alone, I don't know what to believe and what not to believe. ”
Arrow nodded, and while eating, he recounted all the events related to Swan Castle in detail from beginning to end. When the Holy Breads asked who the grain was against, he did not hide anything, and completely explained the matter about the person who the grain was more.
After listening to all the answers, the Holy Bread scooped a mouthful of the egg and put it in his mouth for a while. After a moment, he looked up and asked, "Excuse me, can you show me the diary?" ”
"No problem. The diary was on a shelf behind the counter. ”
Hearing Arrow's command, Cream, who was closest to the counter, immediately got up, took down the journal, and respectfully handed it to the Holy Bread.
Opening the diary, the Holy Bread's brow furrowed at the first moment he saw the words written inside. After flipping through a few pages, he made sure that all of these words were ancient languages that he couldn't understand at all, and simply closed his diary: "I didn't expect President Arrow to be so knowledgeable that he could even understand this ancient language. Alas...... But that's kind of weird...... President Arrow, is there really a record of the mother-daughter handwriting in this? According to you, the mother and daughter write in the same diary with each other, but the other is completely unaware that the other is writing in the diary? That's kind of weird, right? ”
Arrow nodded, and replied, "I'm a little strange too, but there is indeed a portrait of a family of three in the portrait in the room." And according to the records in the diary, by the later stage, the mother had already begun to have some mental disorders. The exact cause is unknown, but it is impossible to predict what will happen to you after losing your mind. Maybe it's because I'm too crazy to see my daughter's notes? ”
To be honest, Arrow also knew that his speculation was too strange, and he really had to be completely crazy to think it was a fact.
Now, though, any mindset that ignores the number of enemies is dangerous. Rather than guessing whether the number of ghosts will decrease, it is better to determine the number of ghosts as much as possible and be fully prepared.
The Holy Cake returns the diary to Cream and asks him to put it away. After everyone was seated, he continued, "Let's not talk about the monster in the basement, the fact that there is a ghost in the room on the top floor of Swan Castle should be certain. If that monster is too powerful, I can ask the Holy See for help and launch a large circle of light to kill it. But I can deal with the ghost first. Well, we'll set off tomorrow evening and solve the ghost problem first, is that okay? ”
Arrow knew that it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the ghosts with the power of the High Priest like the Holy Bread. If you really say that you can solve the problem of ghosts first, then it's better to explain to Viscount Ruichi, as for the monsters in the basement...... It wouldn't be a bad thing if the Church of Light could really be allowed to play at that time.
"Well, since that's agreed, let's eat and drink now. Tomorrow we won't take any tasks in Mermaid Song, and everyone is ready. Everyone watched the whole guild war this time, and I believe that the way the two guilds fought was also a good way for everyone to learn. I'll find a way to buy some equipment for you to upgrade tomorrow, and I hope you can take back your mind from the Guild War and devote yourself to the official guild activities of our Mermaid Song. ”
After a few simple words, everyone understood that the mermaid song should now be taken care of and work again. After seeing the confident expressions on the faces of the members, Arrow nodded slightly, smiled again, and arranged for everyone to eat.
After freshening up, the mermaid song, which had been busy for a long time, finally began to rest. Adjust your condition and prepare for the next day's battle.
- March 2, 1302, food expenses: -2 copper and 1 iron, total ticket income: 1012 gold, winner's bonus: -200 gold, Pelican Town divided the amount equally: -506 gold, banquet giant mountain: -30 gold, salary payment: -50 gold, opening legal income: 247 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze and 2 iron, balance: 477 gold, 8 silver, 4 bronze and 2 iron (balance of stolen money: 34 gold, 7 silver, 7 copper) -
A sunny day is like a symbol for Airoult.
Such a good weather really made people feel refreshed, and in addition, when he saw the appearance of the holy bread standing in the sun and bathing in the light, his heart was also more confident.
Throughout the day, Iero traveled around town, visiting the townspeople and looking at the shops that had opened.
It had just arrived in the spring, and some of the shops had not yet opened, and even if they did, there were no materials to buy. For example, in Kora's healing clinic, the materials used to make healing potions have not yet grown, so he has no way to procure them. This means that the Merfolk Song must progress through Helwanstein Castle without healing and mana boosters...... To be honest, this made Arrow a little uneasy.
Luckily, though, the longstick boss's tool shop opened. Nothing else, but there is still a piece of iron. Arrow immediately asks for a two-sided breastplate that Cream and Coco can wear. Although the defensive ability of this breastplate is not as good as Brad's slime armor, it still adds a little defense.
Please in the morning, pick up in the afternoon. By the time they got it back and let the two members get dressed and tried it without any problems, the sun had already begun to set, and the Viscount Ruichi was also guarding the door of the guild early, looking into the guild with a suspicious and vigilant face.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
Airo let out a loud shout and used his loud voice to boost the momentum of the members!
Everyone: "Ready!" President! ”
Brad wears a full suit of slimeskin armor, gloves, and boots, and holds a trimmed iron fanged shield, as well as the sledgehammer that Robert left in the guild, and a handful on his back.
Parfay, with a sachet full of scented pollen, sat on top of Brad's shield, equally confident.
Cream put on his arm with a Hidden Arrow, put on his leather boots, inserted his clawed dagger into his scabbard, stocked up on his throwing knives, and the Shadow Ring on his finger glittered in the light of the setting sun.
Coco was dressed in a corpse-eater's fire-resistant cloak, a steel staff that shimmered with light and power in her hands, and her eyes were determined.
Seeing that everyone was all maintaining their strongest combat power, the Holy Cake nodded slightly, poked the staff in his hand to the ground, and smiled at Arrow.
"Looks like it's nothing to do with me this time, right?"
At the counter, Napa yawned and her tail wagged slightly.
Arrow smiled slightly, his gaze swept over the faces of the members, and finally landed on Viscount Ruichi at the door, and waved his big hand: "Now, let's go!" ”
————
Coming back to Swanstein Castle after a winter, it feels a little different.
Perhaps because it's all made of stone, there's still some shallow ice inside the main entrance of Pelican Town, even though all the snow has melted in Pelican Town. As soon as he got closer, a chilling sensation pierced through the cloak and pierced into Arrow's skin, giving him the feeling that winter was far from gone.
The group stood in front of the entrance and glanced out at the dark passage inside.
Perhaps because no one had taken care of it all winter, the windows that had been opened were now blocked by the snow that had not yet melted, and the place was once again covered in darkness.
The Holy Cake thought for a moment, stretched out his staff and recited a mantra, and a ball of light appeared on the head of the staff, slowly floating into the passage, illuminating everything.
"There doesn't look like there's any sign of a rotting spider."
Cream leaned closer to the door and looked around.
Arrow nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the other entrance on the side of the castle and said, "There is a door next to that entrance, and below that door is the dark being. But for now, let's not mess with that thing, let's deal with the strange signs above the castle first. We'll see what to do with this thing when we're done with the above stuff. Is that okay? ”
As soon as he approached his castle, Viscount Ruichi's body couldn't help but tremble. He wrapped his mink coat tighter, rubbed his hands, and said, "You are professional, I listen to you." Anyway, just help me clean up my castle. ”
An obedient client is the best client, and of course, it would be nice if you could be so obedient when you pay.
Arrow thanked Viscount Ruichi with a professional smile, and then waved his hand lightly to everyone behind him, and the mermaid song immediately formed an exploration formation and marched towards the castle.
