Very good, the round cheese was in a hurry all of a sudden, and immediately stepped forward to stop Arrow, who was about to turn around and leave, with a panicked face, and said in a panic: "Discuss!" We're still negotiable, aren't we? How about we talk about it again? Go ahead and discuss? ”

In his heart, Arrow was already laughing.

But on the surface, he continued to keep himself in an embarrassed expression: "But you see, I usually have to be busy with guild affairs, a lot of things, so ......"

Dangdangdang –

Outside, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Mrs. Madam went to open the door, and after a while, the chubby Mrs. Madam came to the office, looked at the mayor and said, "Honey, you have guests. ”

"Guest?"

The mayor's wife stepped out of the way, and a somewhat bald man walked in. He wears a special robe, the back of which is delicately depicted with silk thread in the shape of a wave holding up a gold coin.

"Tax officer, it's time to check the accounts. Meet again this year, Mayor Round Cheese. Are you ready this year? ”

Looking at this man who could be clearly a tax collector no matter how he looked at it, Arrow really had the urge to slap himself a few times!

If you don't make a decision to make a move early, you won't be able to get even a single iron coin!

As he stepped in, the middle-aged tax official seemed to be familiar with everything.

He glanced at the round cheese and walked over to the desk.

Arrow swore that it was the first time he had seen the mayor look so terrified since he had met Round Cheese.

The tax collector looked at the pile of ledgers in front of him, stretched out his hand and patted it gently, but then withdrew his hand as if it had been burned, and then turned his head and looked at the round cheese with a murderous look.

"Haha, that ...... Your Excellency, why are you here so early this year? Didn't it always take until the end of October? ”

Round Cheese's expression was funny, but Arrow was still reeling from the pain of losing a silver coin.

The tax officer snorted and said slowly, "Every time, it is your town's accounts that are the most messy." I still don't understand, your town has such a small population, why are you able to make your accounts so messy and headache every year? So I'll come early this time and get your town out first. Once I'm done with you guys, I'll have a much easier journey. ”

Having said that, when the tax collector looked back at the obviously haphazard ledger on the table, he obviously had an extremely pained expression.

Arrow knew he should leave now. At that moment, he silently walked to the desk, hoping to be able to put the ledger on the desk unobtrusively with his short stature.

Unfortunately, before he could stretch out his hand, the tax officer stared at him directly.

"Huh? You are ......"

"Oh! This is the guild leader of Pelican Town's new adventurer guild, Merfolk Song, Airo Garcia! President Arrow, let me introduce you to our esteemed Tax Collector! ”

Arrow laughed a little, and once again planned to stuff the ledger in his hand into the pile of accounts in a low-key manner.

"Lord Tax Officer, don't look at President Arrow's young age, but he's a high-achieving graduate of Old Tengshu Academy! This is not? I'm also planning to ask him to help me sort out these ledgers, so it will be a lot easier! ”

"Old Tengshu Academy?"

Obviously, the tax officer cares more about Arrow's graduation college than about sorting out the books.

As soon as he heard the name, the way he looked at Arrow immediately added a little respect.

It's a pity, the last thing Arrow wants now is attention, he just wants his little ledger to be quietly mixed in with these messy accounts, and then quietly slip away!

"Sure enough, the students of the Old Tengshu Academy are amazing, so young can they become the president of a guild? Alas, I also wanted my son to take the test, but I couldn't pass the test, and I heard that 99% of the people were screened out in the entrance exam alone, right? ”

The tax officer strode over, picked up the ledger that Arrow had just put down, and then opened it and looked at it, and said even more appreciatively: "This is a wonderful handwriting!" And the account looks very clear, and the format looks very comfortable. Mayor Round Cheese, are you sure that your accounts will be sorted out by this old Tengshu Academy graduate? ”

The round cheese fluttered for a moment, and immediately looked at Arrow with a look of help.

Arrow was now on pins and needles, but he still had to keep his composure on his face, just smiled and said, "I...... Exert oneself? ”

Round cheese is overjoyed! Immediately took out the two silver coins he had just put in, and slapped them into Arrow's hand. Then, he looked relaxed as if he had finally solved the problem, and he looked like he was light and light.

And Iro looked at the two silver coins in his hand, and then at the ledger as high as the mountain over there and the ledger of his own guild in the tax officer's hand, and sincerely began to regret why he coveted this money and stayed here to bargain with the mayor? Put the ledger down and slip away, and there will be nothing, right?

But now that this is the case, it is only necessary to bite the bullet.

Arrow let his smile regain on his face, stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency Tax Officer, since I will sort out these bills, then please go to Honglu Town and Kingfisher Town next door to check your taxes first?" Come back in a few days, and I'll sort out the bills for our town and give it to you. ”

"No, no, no."

The tax officer smiled lightly and said—

"It's just right now, since President Arrow is sorting out the taxes in Pelican Town, then it's up to me to check the income of Mermaid Song during this time. By the time I'm done with it and resting for a day or two, I'll be able to get President Arrow's full report to me. ”

Taxed separately?

Doesn't that seem right?

Airo became nervous and quickly asked, "Why...... How does that work? Hasn't the tax been paid together with the entire city after the tax has been sorted out? That's how I used to do it......"

The tax collector nodded, a slightly annoyed expression on his face, and said, "Yes, in the past, the taxes of the Adventurer's Guild could indeed be counted as being paid directly in the entire town. But this year has been different. ”

"Last month, the Empire just issued a new decree, requiring that in the future, if the tax payment is verified, the income of the adventurer's guild must be separated from the income of the town, and it can no longer be settled in a unified manner. It seems that it is to prevent the adventurer's guild from evading taxes, conducting black market transactions, money laundering and other activities. ”

With a buzz, Arrow's head felt like someone had been whipped hard with a stick.

The tax officer turned his anger into laughter and said happily: "But I believe that it is absolutely impossible for the top students of the old Tengshu Academy to do this kind of thing, right?" ”

Looking at the tax officer's sincere and envious smile, Arrow was reluctant to send a small smile from the corner of his mouth.

————

The members of Merfolk Song discovered something very wonderful today.

All along, their president has always been very energetic in front of everyone, in control of the overall situation, and has a confident expression on many things.

But now, like a student who had made a mistake, the president sat very stiffly on the chair in the rest area in the corner of the guild. On the table were a large pile of accounts and letters of attorney for previous tasks, and the somewhat balding middle-aged man was checking them with the ledger one by one.

Because of the "extremely weak" aura shown by his own president, even Coco didn't dare to go out. She cowered behind the stairs, poked her head out to look over there, and whispered, "Vice President, that person...... Who is it? Why does the elder brother look like he can't hold his head up at all in front of this person? ”

Brad touched his chin and said as if he was thinking, "Is that the president's father?" Well, if you think about it, I don't think I've ever met the president's father. The president will be so reserved, this person must be the president's father, right? ”

Cream gently touched Brad's stomach with his elbow and sneered, "What daddy? I think about it too much. If you want me to see it, this person must be the president's teacher! Didn't you see the material of this dress on him? So silky, so smooth, that's a very fine material! And the appearance of the waves behind him holding up the gold coin, this must be the teacher of the chairman's economics department! Now it's time to pass on the experience! ”

Parfay pricked up her ears: "Then, we, do, what?" ”

Cream: "Do you need to talk about that?" We must show absolute respect. Let this teacher know that his students are managing the guild well! ”

Brad frowned: "I still think it might be Dad......"

Napa couldn't take it anymore, it yawned, floated over and said, "Don't worry about it, go to work." If you don't have a task, you can go to the back to practice, you should practice strength, you should practice magic, you should practice magic, you should exercise speed, why do you like to shrink here and gossip so much? ”

Over there, Arrow only felt smoke coming from his throat! Seeing the way the tax officer was checking carefully, he still held back the fear in his heart and said with a smile: "Excuse me...... Why did you suddenly enact a new decree this year? Wouldn't that add to the workload of the tax collectors? ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" The tax officer put down the account book and power of attorney in his hand, rubbed his shoulder, and said, "Originally, there were few tax officials, and it was not easy for us to go all over the country in a quarter to calculate all the taxes clearly. Alas...... It can only be said that our royal family is very far-sighted. Oops, my mouth is dry. ”

"Daddy! Please drink tea! ”

As soon as the tax collector finished speaking, Coco rushed over with a teacup and placed the tea stiffly in front of the tax officer.

It's just that because he was too nervous, this title made Arrow feel very embarrassed.

"Uh...... Forehead? What do you call me? ”

When the tax officer was confused, Arrow glared at his necromancer and squeaked quietly, "Who let you out?" Go down! Don't look for trouble! ”

was suddenly glared at by Airo, which made Coco feel aggrieved. She wanted to tell something, but after coming into contact with Arrow's eyes again, she still held back in her stomach, and could only walk towards the others with a look of grievance. After standing in front of Napa, the little girl's tears finally rolled down her face.
