Chapter 591: Captive
Ero glanced at the two men slightly, telling Cheese to take Cream back to his room before going to bed.
After that, after asking a little about the situation on the road, he began to sit on a sofa in the rest area with the condescending posture of the guild leader, looking at the man and woman in front of him.
"Brad, these two guys...... What's going on? β
A sincere smile appeared on Brad's face, he nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed at the man and said, "President, this person is very powerful!" I've got to tie him up, or something might happen if I'm not careful. β
Arrow smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, it looks like you're being careful." Attaboy! Please be vigilant. β
Having been complimented, Brad scratched the back of his head and laughed happily.
Margaux on the side exhaled simply, raised his hand and fanned his face, and said, "Okay, okay, our president is asking what is going on with these two people. Well...... It's so troublesome to explain~~~ I'm tired, President, I'll go back to my room and rest first. Leave the explanation to the little girl who dreams all day and shouts 'Brother President'! β
Seeing that Margaux also left and went upstairs, Coco looked indifferent. She smiled and sat down beside Arrow, then took a package about the size of a human head from her bosom, placed it on the table, and opened it.
Upon seeing the package, the man clearly showed a sense of anger. But he only took half a step forward, and Brad on the side quickly drew his shield from behind his back and slammed it in front of the man.
The woman seemed to be terrified when she saw Brad draw her shield, and quickly ducked behind the man. It's just that there are so many things on her back that makes her feel very weird about avoiding her.
Coco opened the package and said with a smile: "We have completed the mission very successfully this time!" Look, Brother President, this is our trophy this time! β
The package opened, and inside there were neatly stacked tablet boards, almost fifty or so. There are almost ten tablets in each tablet board.
Looking at these Du Lengjia placed in front of him, Ai Luo also couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Still, he forced his expression to keep his composure, and after a slight glance at the pills, he nodded, allowing Coco to wrap them up again.
"You guys seem to be going well this time, right?"
Arrow asked with a smile.
Coco wrapped the pill and pushed the package in front of Arrow, then nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "This is also thanks to the president's brother who arranged it in advance~~~!" Well...... Although, I also admit that the woman has put a lot of effort into the command of this mission, and many times she has come up with the idea of responding to the situation...... But in general, we can succeed because we will grow my brother, and this is absolutely not wrong! Hee-hee~~~"
Judging by the fact that the members were unscarred and in good spirits, Airo was sure that they had done their job beautifully. And listening to what Coco said, Margaux should have played a lot of decision-making roles in this mission...... Thinking about it like this, Arrow was also slightly relieved, and at the same time felt happy for the growth of his guild.
"As for these two people......
Then, Coco's gaze turned to the pair of men and women in front of her, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the man first, and said-
"This man is the leader of the smuggling team. His name is Buzz Macaroon. He is a paladin, but his mouth is very stinky and his temper is also very strong, and he really doesn't understand why the Holy See of Light gave this kind of person the title of Paladin. Well, the shield his wife was carrying behind her back was the weapon he used. β
Arrow turned his head to look at the bulging luggage behind the macaroon lady.
Among the many pieces of luggage, a tower shield much larger than any of the shields Brad had used was placed over it, and several times with a rope was fastened to the marzipan lady's package. Looking at this tower shield, which was almost taller than his height, Arrow couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
"Our operation was generally very smooth, we managed to deceive the smuggling gang into trust, and then we were able to take them all out when there was no one around. However, there are still some minor problems. β
Coco reminisced as she continuedβ
"Originally, I thought those sorcenary powders would last a long time. But I didn't expect these two people to be able to hold on after drinking the powdered dinner! They noticed a problem in the food, so they immediately fought back against us. β
"At that time, we saw that the other smuggling gangs were asleep, but the couple was already a little vigilant before they fell asleep. Since they were the first to attack, then we have nothing more to say. β
"The two of them...... No, to be precise, it's just this man, his wife is so scared that she can only shrink to the side and can't move. The five of us fought him, and we had melee combat, ranged healing, and a Bloodline who was almost invincible at night, so this guy was easily subdued by us. β
Hearing this, Arrow nodded lightly and said, "Sounds good, but since the uniforms are subdued, why did you bring the two of them back?" We only want goods, and we don't want people. β
Speaking of this, Coco immediately showed a look of embarrassment. She sighed and said helplessly, "We didn't want to bring them back in the first place...... But after the uniform, we let our guard down. Then Parfay flew out of the shadows and landed on Brad's shoulder. β
Arrow closed his eyes and thought about the scene for a moment, and at that moment, he finally understood what was going on.
"At that time, we all hid our identities, and each of us wore some makeup on our faces, and generally no one knew that we were members of the Mermaid Song."
"But ah, as soon as Parfay came out like this, she immediately revealed her stuffing. The paladin noticed Parfay, and then Margaux noticed him as well. Then Margaux said to us that it doesn't matter if we people want to get out of it. But this paladin has seen that one of our members is a flower fairy! β
"You know, there aren't many guilds with flower fairies as members, and Margaux is worried that if this couple is really let go, they will be kidnapped for smuggling and hijacking, and it will definitely not take a few days for someone to find out about our mermaid song."
"At the time, my proposal was to kill these two men."
When the word murder came out of Coco's tone, she was visibly stunned for a moment, then quickly turned her head and looked at her president with a worried expression.
Of course, Iero was also thinking.
After all, trying not to kill people is what I have been emphasizing, and this time the act of cutting off the smuggled goods is already essentially the act of a mercenary, and if the killing is carried out in this kind of action, it will be equivalent to the line that the mermaid song has been adhering to before has been completely distorted at this moment.
But......
"But, they survived, didn't they?"
A smile appeared on Arrow's face, and he gently rubbed Coco's head, and continuedβ
"So even in the most difficult moments, you haven't forgotten your dignity as a mermaid song~~~"
was touched on the head, and Coco's face was unexpectedly flushed again. She curled up and cautiously leaned towards Arrow. After a long time, he nodded slightly.
"Although...... I proposed to kill them, but then I thought it might be a bit inappropriate. β
After being comforted, Coco continued-
"Especially the big guy from Brad, who was very much against us killing people. If you say something like this, you will be sad, brother. Although he was the most stressed during the battle with this paladin, he still insisted that if we did kill them, the elder brother would be so kind and would definitely blame us......"
Actually...... From the bottom of his heart, Iero was not opposed to the elimination of witnesses.
After all, leaving a living mouth is definitely a problem, and if you can fix it once and for all, it is better than anything else.
But now that it's all an established fact, he can only continue to be a kind president as Brad expects!
"So, you decided not to kill you?"
Arrow asked with a smile.
Coco nodded vigorously and continued: "At that time, we were also very confused about what to do. If we don't kill them, the whereabouts of our Mermaid Song may be exposed. But if you kill someone, you may be unhappy, brother. β
"We discussed it for a long time, and in the end, Sister Margaux made a decision, let's bring these two people back, and then see if you, Brother President, decide what to do."
"Oh, brother, you don't know! It took a lot of effort to bring the two of them back! We're going to have to pass another level and hide their identities along the way! In order to prevent them from escaping, we had to feed them sleep powder every night, and during the day in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, we had to take the remote route with few people, and I barely ate anything delicious all the way back! β
"Brother President, what are you going to have for dinner today? Are there any good dishes? I can help! β
The general situation of the matter, Arrow kind of understood.
He rubbed the little girl's head again, and his eyes turned to the Buzz macaroon.
