Chapter 395 The Love of Sugar-Coated Wine
This is a fact, and there is no need for Eero to object. I could only smile yes and say, "There are disadvantages, but there are also advantages." At least everyone is safe. β
"Is it really safe?"
Sugarcoat stood on crutches in front of the ruined ruins.
The old man turned his head, and the relaxed expression that had been on his face had finally disappeared completely, turning into a touch of seriousness.
It was also at this moment that Arrow suddenly noticed that there were no other pedestrians around. Maybe it's because it's a ruin, so there will be a lot fewer people. From a distance, only the two bodyguards were still standing far away, but they didn't mean to come over.
Arrow choked up slightly, but then smiled, "You ...... What is the meaning? I ...... at the meeting just now."
"I don't want to listen to the clichΓ©s of those meetings. President Arrow, I think you should understand how serious the problem is right now. And, unfortunately, I happen to understand just how serious the problem really is. β
Arrow was slightly stunned, thought about it, but stopped talking.
Seeing that Arrow didn't want to speak, Sugar-Coated reached into his arms, took out an envelope and handed it to Arrow.
Arrow took it, opened it, took out the letter and glanced at it.
But just such a glance made him completely gasp!
"Count Hisstein Eagle?!"
Arrow's exclamation seemed slightly unexpected by the sugar-coated wine, and he turned his head to look at Arrow, and said, "Do you know this nobleman?" β
Arrow couldn't help but cover his mouth, then glanced at the letter in his hand again, and said, "This is a letter from Sinking Swamp to Count Grey Eagle Heatherstein, saying that he has visited the strength of our Mermaid Song, and that our guild is not in any danger...... Other words...... Other words! β
The facts are in front of you, maybe there is no room for Arrow's astonishment and suspicion?
He looked at the sugar-coated old man in front of him, who seemed to understand what Arrow was thinking, and then nodded and said, "This is what my men intercepted from a messenger. You may wonder if I forged this letter. β
Arrow looked at the sugar-coated wine, and now, he knew more and more what kind of trouble he was in!
Facing the old man, who looked a little shorter than him, Arrow involuntarily took a step back, keeping a certain distance from him.
Sugarcoat of course noticed Arrow's step back now, but he didn't say anything, still just staring at him faintly.
The letter ...... What is the meaning? β
"It's not interesting."
Sugar-coated wine slowly stroked his beard and said seriously-
"The last thing I like as a person is for people to ruin my business. Right now, my business is Pelican Town, so if True Eyes wants to go against Pelican Town, then they're going against me. β
Arrow: "Sir, you've got this letter out, can we stop playing these dumb riddles between us?" β
Sugar-coated wine smiled slightly: "Dumb riddle? No, no, no, I'm not interested in these pantomimes. The only thing I know is that if Merfolk Song can't stay in Pelican Town, then there's a good chance that the True Eye will be able to take action on the town. Therefore, in order to protect my investment, I must not allow your guild to take the opportunity to escape. β
Arrow's footsteps couldn't help but take a step back again, and he said vigilantly, "So...... This? β
"So? Hehe, so, I'm going to deal with you against the True Eye. Does this question still need to be considered? You forgot, your mayor was saying that our whole Pelican Town is a family, and that we should help each other as a family, right? β
For a moment, Arrow began to wonder what the icing was trying to do.
He turned around, but saw that the two bodyguards were still standing far away, and they didn't want to come over. Maybe...... Does this also mean that this old man really just wants to talk?
"You...... What do you want me to do? β
"Actually, what I want you to do is not complicated."
Sugar-coated touched his beard and said with a smile-
"I'm getting old, and my bones are no longer good. There is nothing else good in this world, and the only thing that can be said to be good is to look more thoroughly at the so-called political (harmonious) struggles. β
"The Hisstein family has been a bit vigorous lately, and that Sharp Eagle not only swallowed Tianhe City in one go, but even moved his brain to some 'business' that he shouldn't touch. Believe me, there are definitely not a few people who want to take out this bald eagle in the territory of our empire. It's just that I've been suffering from no legitimate and suitable reason. β
Arrow thought for a moment and said, "So, the True Eye...... Is there a conclusive reason? β
Sugar-coated wine smiled and nodded slightly: "Master the mysterious magical organization, secretly carry out indescribable alchemy, and treat children as sacrifices." It was enough for his political opponents to rub him to the floor. In order to protect his political ability, I don't believe he will find a way to cut off this magical organization. β
Arrow said vigilantly, "So, what do you want me to do?" β
Sugar-coated wine walked two steps on crutches, he even turned his back to Arrow, looked at the calm mirror-like lake in front of him with a smile, and said lightly: "But even so, going to the capital to do some money is also needed." Hawk Hisstein has long been confronted with all sorts of gossip, and while I don't know why he suddenly wanted to attack your guild, a skilled politician can manipulate all sorts of things just by making him want to get rid of it. β
"Therefore, if you don't have enough money to get through the relationship, even if you go to the capital and shout directly that he has something to do with the True Eye, the end will only be that you will be locked up as a madman."
Arrow's shoulders trembled again: "Hit it...... Need...... How much? β
"A hundred gold coins, that's the minimum."
Sugar-coated rubbed his beard, smiled slightly, and turned his head to say.
"Of course, I know you have your own concerns, and you can do without these hundred gold coins. But it is not known what will turn out of the matter then. But as long as I use it, I can help you deal with the people in the capital, and I can make this earl, who didn't even have a territory before, instantly fall down and push everyone down. β
Arrow took a deep breath and made his expression as relaxed as possible: "Hehe, this is a little too relaxed, right?" Just a hundred gold coins to bring down an earl? No joke is made like that. β
"Of course, a hundred gold coins is still far from enough." Sugar-coated gently tapped her crutches and continued, "Have you forgotten that you also have an opponent - the True Eye? This terrible mage's guild seems to me to be a place where it really costs a lot of money! β
For a moment, Arrow felt a little dizzy and wanted to sit down, but he was afraid that he would never be able to stand up again as soon as he sat down.
"I don't know exactly how many people there are in the True Eye. But as far as I know, there are hundreds of members of this guild that operates in the shadows. Among them, there are definitely no less than thirty magicians with the strength of this madman. β
"If you kill someone in their guild, the True Eye will never let a member die without knowing what happened. So they're going to get revenge on you. If you want to prevent retaliation, then you must take the initiative and eradicate this guild. β
"I still need a hundred gold coins, I can help you get through the joints in the capital, especially the old stubborns of the Royal Wizards Guild. You also know that you can be said to have offended the people of the Royal Wizards Guild before, and you will definitely hit the nail if you do it. But fortunately, my old face is still a bit thin in the capital, and I can help you dredge it. β
"When the dredging is completed, judging by the terrible actions of the True Eye, it is believed that this guild will soon be deprived of its status as a legitimate guild, and it will even be listed as an illegal organization by the Royal Society, requiring them to dissolve themselves."
"Of course, they certainly won't dissolve on their own. At this point, I can introduce you to two more guilds. β
"One, it is the number one guild in the capital Hanhai City, and even in the entire Blue Bay Empire, the Heavenly Light. I have some friendship with their former president, and the Light of Heaven may sell me face for a friendship price to assist you in your mission to eradicate the True Eye. What is the price...... Two hundred gold coins should be enough to recruit some of the top members of their guild to fight. β
"The other guild is a slightly smaller guild, although it is not as national as the light of heaven, but it can be regarded as one of the top ten guilds in the capital Hanhai City - Fangs under the night. I once entrusted their guild, which is a guild that does things well and has a fair price. Similarly, with only a price of about a hundred gold coins, it should allow their president and vice president to lead all the elites of their subordinates to help you fight this battle. β
Sugar-coated seemed relaxed when he said these words.
In addition to being relaxed, there is even a hint of care.
It seems that this old man really wants to take good care of the president of the Mermaid Song and help him through this difficult time.
In contrast, Arrow stared at the old man, at his eyebrows, at his eyes, at his mouth, at any slight twitch of muscle on his face.
After the old man had finished speaking, Arrow still stood there dumbfounded.
Looking at the old man, Arrow suddenly felt as if he didn't know the person in front of him at all.
