"Come, come, come! All drink, all men! Especially Miss Rose, please ~~~! I'll personally fill you up for Miss Rose~~~! ”

Viscount Ruichi moved a small cup and poured a little. Rose leaned over and leaned down to look inside, and after thinking for a moment, she reached out and scooped up some wine, and took a sip.

After one bite, her skin, which had already looked very fair, was now involuntarily covered with a touch of crimson. The expression that was just a cold smile now began to melt like winter snow meets spring breeze, and it looks even sweeter and more moving.

One by one, the flower fairies rushed forward to get a drink. It didn't take long for the flower fairies to start singing and dancing in the sky with each other.

For a time, the entire remote garden was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Oops, mermaid song! You guys are really amazing, you guys are really amazing! ”

Viscount Ruichi took a sip of wine and said happily—

"To be honest, I never thought you would make it to the quarterfinals! Quarterfinals, this is the quarterfinals! In my opinion, are you already stable? Is it really possible to win the championship in one fell swoop? Hahaha! ”

Arrow smiled slightly and said, "How can it be so easy, the next battle will be harder and harder." ”

Viscount Ruichi immediately put on a very incomprehensible expression and said with a smile: "Hey! Don't be angry, destroy your own prestige! You're now three races away from reaching the top, and after those three races, you're the champion! ”

"Moreover, you can easily defeat even the guild that defeated the Hand of Heaven, it really isn't inconceivable to win the championship, right?"

"So, who's your next matchup?" Is it decided? Oh, it's not decided yet. ”

Looking at this Viscount Ruichi with such a happy appearance now, Arrow really has nothing to say. He could only smile slightly, allowing himself to show a very indifferent appearance as much as possible. At the same time, it is also necessary to give this sponsor a vaccination-

"It doesn't matter who the next opponent is, luck can't always be on our side. Viscount Ruichi, now we have not only broken through the first half of the schedule, but even broken through the group stage. Not only that, but because of the Flower Fairy thing, the reputation of our Mermaid Song Guild has become so famous. I think your request for us to help you make a name for yourself in Hanhai City should be considered complete, right? ”

Viscount Ruichi held the wine glass in his hand, but the smile on his face froze for a while.

After a while, it was clear that the viscount's face showed a slight expression of reluctance, and he said with a little nervousness: "That...... Arrow, you see, we're all from Pelican Town. You should also know that we are also fellow villagers, and of course many things should be discussed between fellow villagers, right? ”

Arrow smiled and said, "Yes, of course you can discuss it well, it's no problem." The contract we signed was that if we managed to break through a race, we would receive a sponsorship fee from your side. If Viscount Ruichi has financial difficulties...... Although I want to help you as much as I can, as you can imagine, we are also short of money in Mermaid Song, right? ”

Arrow said so, and Viscount Ruichi couldn't help but gasp. His mouth kept licking, as if he was wondering what could be done about it. After a few moments, he finally exhaled and said, "President Arrow, it's not that I don't want to pay. It's really the end of the year, and many chambers of commerce are thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to dump their products. And Hanhai City is a seaside city, so ...... You should know that, right? ”

"The competition is fierce, and the merchants who really want to stock up have started to stock up half a year ago, and now it is a harsh winter, and no one will go to sea, and Wald Fishery has no products to sell at this time. So it's true that I'm not very good at cash flow on my side......"

Speaking of this, Viscount Ruichi immediately showed a very generous appearance, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "That's it! As long as it is spring next year, I will go out to sea to fish as soon as the ban on fishing and hunting is lifted, and then I will make up for your guild bonus as soon as I transfer the funds! ”

Wait until next year? If you wait until next year, you will still need to give money?

Arrow smiled on the surface, but of course it was impossible to approve of this plan in his heart.

He exhaled slowly and said, "Your Excellency, since this is the case, then the cooperation between us will end here first. Your prize money can be given to me again next year, so we should be able to find a sponsor for the next competition of Mermaid Song. Margaux, has anyone come to us these days to talk about collaboration? ”

Margaux, of course, understood this, and immediately pretended to take out a small notebook from the pocket of the group, and said as he flipped through it: "Well, there are indeed several. A clothing store on the east side of the street and a food store in the southwest want to come to us for the mermaid song cooperation. And that was yesterday. Let me look at the last few days...... There is also a hat shop in the southwest corner, and two other clothing stores have come to talk to us about cooperation. ”

Viscount Ruichi walked over and wanted to reach for the notebook in the singer. But just as he was about to reach it with his hand, Margaux snapped the notebook, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile: "It's just that since our Mermaid Song has always said that there are sponsors, it doesn't matter if the other party is willing to keep the money." But if we want to provide them with endorsements, it really can't be done. After hearing this answer, the shops left. ”

Arrow's brow furrowed slightly, then he sighed slightly, and said slowly, "In that case, let's go out and visit these shops tomorrow." Let's see if they're willing to talk to us again. ”

"Don't! Don't don't, don't! It's good to discuss, it's good to discuss! President Arrow! ”

Seeing that Arrow was about to move seriously, the Humpty Dumpty Viscount finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile-

"Isn't it just money! Of course, I also know that your guild is about to face stronger opponents, and now is the time to need more equipment updates, and there are many places where you need money. Alas...... Come on! I'm trying to get some out...... That's all right, right? ”

Hearing that this fat viscount had finally paid for it, Arrow couldn't help but put his ears together and asked softly: "Excuse me, how many?" ”

Viscount Ruichi frowned and said, "Thirty gold coins, how about it?" ”

Arrow immediately showed a look of disgust, and said to Margaux next to him again, "Have you left the specific addresses of those shops?" ”

"Don't, don't! Thirty...... Thirty-two! Thirty-three! Not enough? So...... So what about thirty-five gold coins? No more, there really isn't! ”

"Fifty gold coins. That's at least. ”

Arrow stretched out his hand and expressed his request without hesitation.

Seeing these five fingers stretched out by Arrow, the viscount's face immediately looked like he had been slapped twice, which was really good-looking. However, when he saw that Arrow still had a determined expression, he finally gritted his teeth and said-

"Fifty gold coins...... Just fifty gold coins...... Okay, I promise you! That's it! ”

Arrow smiled slightly, since the business has been negotiated, then it is necessary to give the other party a little sweetness. At that moment, Arrow waved his hand at Brad next to him, and the strong man walked over, pulled out a sword with a black scabbard from his waist, and placed it in front of Viscount Ruichi.

"What is this?"

Viscount Ruichi looked at the sword and asked.

Arrow smiled, instinctively reaching out to grasp the hilt of the sword, but as soon as his hand reached out and was about to touch it, a strong sense of disgust flooded back into his heart. His fingers retracted suddenly, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said—

"This sword is called the Magic Sword Silence. Viscount Ruichi can pull it out and take a look. ”

Ruichi grabbed the sword suspiciously and pulled it out, the dark mist-like shape and the extremely light sword body made the viscount also full of suspicion.

"This ...... Magic sword? Good fellow, your guild actually got this sword from the Iron Guild! However, why didn't you use it in the previous battles? ”

Arrow smiled and said, "This sword can't be used. It's too light, it's too blunt, and it can't kill people at all. So, I want to sell this weapon and come back for some money. But our guild is now preparing to deal with the guild championship war, and we really don't have the energy to find a way to sell it. After thinking about it for a long time, I still felt that I had to give this sword to Viscount Ruichi and let you sell it. How much money will be sold, half of each of us, what do you think? ”

Viscount Ruichi weighed the weapon in his hand again.

It was clear that this Humpty Dumpty Viscount did not know how to fight. But even those who don't know how to fight can feel that such a sword that is as light as a tree branch and as stumbling as a stone can feel that there is not a little bit of damage in it.

He reached out his finger and plunged into the mist on the blade, trying to scratch it with the blade. It turned out that his rough fingers were not scarred. It doesn't make any difference except when your finger is inserted and it's like you're hiding in another world.

"This thing...... Are you sure you can sell it? ”

A suspicious look appeared on Viscount Ruichi's face.
