Arrow was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just think this thing is strange." So...... And then what? Did you conduct any surveys? ”

The tax officer exhaled, took another sip of water, and said, "Of course, we have to conduct an investigation, and if we don't investigate, won't we just ignore the problem?" ”

"Viscount Norris also organized some investigations, and at the same time, during the break in the guild war, all four guilds participating in the competition team up to conduct a reconnaissance. On the other hand, I even went into the mountain mine near your town and looked at it, but I didn't see anything. However, there was a slight danger in that mine, and it was true that some of the people of the Giant Mountain Guild were injured. ”

Arrow nodded lightly and asked, "And then?" That's it? ”

The tax collector sighed and said, "After some investigation, it was found that there was nothing unusual at all, and that these beggars, though they were talking about gold and gold at night, had no gold at all. So after some exploration, I didn't find anything, so I had to leave it at that. ”

Hearing this, Arrow stretched out his finger and tapped his head lightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "So...... When the tax collector told me about this, what did he want me to do? ”

The tax officer showed a very kind smile, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Well, I think so." In any case, the four guilds participating in the competition are not local guilds, and local affairs are most familiar to the members of the local guilds in many cases. There is obviously something wrong with so many beggars in this situation, but it is also an indisputable fact that Viscount Norris has given up and stopped investigating. ”

"Me...... I hope that President Arrow's Mermaid Song can investigate the truth of this matter as soon as possible. If there is gold, then I will be rewarded for reporting to the above. If we can't find anything wrong with the so-called 'gold' that we just misheard, or if the beggars have some irregular words like 'gold' in their pronunciation, then it would be a great credit to all of them to find their relatives where they came from. ”

Hearing this, Arrow's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly said, "So...... If we find this gold in the mermaid song...... Or if you find the families of these beggars and send them to their families...... What rewards can we get for the Mermaid Song? ”

The tax collector smiled slightly, leaned over, and showed a very appreciative expression: "If you can really find the buried gold, then you can keep a tenth." If not, but if you find out the cause of this and help the beggars to return to their families, and promote the process of population recovery in our country, I can also help you report to the above, and congratulate your guild on your contribution. At that time, I guess there will be a thank you money from my top, right? The amount of this thank you money...... Oh, maybe not in a few~~! ”

Needless to say, Arrow immediately stretched out his palm and said righteously: "Needless to say, Lord Tax Officer, it is the duty of a guild like us to serve the country!" No matter how difficult the task is, I'll do my best to accomplish it! ”

"Hahaha! Well said, well said! So that's all I have to say, and the message is finished! Now, it's time to say goodbye! ”

The tax collector stood up and waved at Arrow—

"I hope to hear a lot of good news from you when I see you next year! Also, don't learn the tone of your mayor's speech, what the hell are you when a young kid learns such old fritters? ”

Arrow sneered, sent the tax collector to the door, and then waved his hand, and sent him away in earnest.

Seeing off the tax officer, the expression on Arrow's face finally stopped smiling. He returned to his seat, looked at the numbers in the account book in front of him, and began to think hard in his seat with his arms crossed.

This thought didn't last long, and soon, he nodded slightly and continued to sort out his accounts. Counting that the time was almost up, I went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"I'm back!"

With a cry from Coco, the little necromancer who had been busy all day ran in through the door.

It's almost like they've made an appointment, and the members are now coming back from outside one after another. Brad, in particular, was carrying a blood-soaked fanged pig's liver, which Arrow had obviously told him to bring back from another restaurant.

"All back? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. ”

Arrow laid out the food and greeted the lovely members in front of him with a smile on his face.

When Coco came back, he immediately ran to Arrow's side and kept telling him about his work during the day, and his little face was red, and he looked really excited.

Arrow also happily instructed everyone to sit down at the table. Just as he was carrying the large piece of liver into the kitchen, Brad beckoned to the second floor, "Cheese!" Are you awake? Come on, come down, come down and have dinner with us! ”

Cream smiled and said, "It should be 'breakfast' for him, right?" ”

Cheese snorted, looked at the sunset outside the window, which had sunset into the horizon, and with a slight lift of his feet, he jumped from the second floor and landed on the ground lightly and skillfully.

"Tell me in advance, I don't mean to have a good relationship with you. Teaching you combat skills is pure boredom. And also—"

"Also, can you take the stairs down later? Do you see that other people's cream can also climb the wall, and he doesn't take the stairs all day long, and climbs up and down? ”

Margaux on the side didn't mean to let the blood clan finish his words, and directly gave him a dismount.

Such a sentence made Cheese a little angry and funny. He looked up and down at the beautiful "nun" in front of him, and sneered, "I'm starting to miss the way you were when you were afraid of me. At least at that time, you, an imposter nun, didn't have the guts to stand up to me. ”

Margaux also snorted coldly, she got up from her seat very simply, threw a wink at the cheese, and walked in front of the cheese with a catwalk: "Ouch~~ This little handsome guy is starting to look cool?" I heard that your blood clan likes the blood of beauties, so ~~~ Do you want to experience the feeling of 'tenderness' in my arms? ”

Then, she stretched out a little finger and gently swiped it across Cheese's chest: "What do you think...... Is my blood enough for your appetite? ”

At Margaux's flattery, Cheese continued to snort coldly. He didn't even look at her directly, and walked directly past Margaux to the crowd's table: "Superficial woman. ”

Margaux smiled and turned back to her seat. Coco on the side secretly laughed: "You're old~~!" After the Holy Night Festival, you will become a twenty-year-old woman, right? It's not attractive~~~! Margaux ...... Aunt~~~! ”

With a snap, Margaux directly stretched out his hand and gave this little girl a shudder: "There is something wrong with this blood clan, I haven't seen him interested in women." In other words, he's the same kind of guy as our president, and he doesn't even bother to look at me at the area below my neck. In other words, he's the type you like, and your death magic seems to have a good appetite for the Bloodline, so you need to be careful! ”

Coco put on a stinky face and turned her head to stare at the bread in front of her. If it weren't for the fact that the president had not yet come to sit down, she would have done it right away.

There was a burst of aroma from the kitchen, and the smell of cheese was particularly exciting. He sucked the taste silently, and his stomach, which he hadn't thought was hungry, was now starting to get hungry.

It was also at this time that everyone kept chatting and began to talk about their work during the day and all kinds of small talk. But among these chatters, Cheese couldn't help but catch a glimpse of a different expression.

Buffy.

While everyone else was chatting and chatting enthusiastically, and even Brad was laughing happily, the flower fairy looked very tired, completely in a state of over-consumption of mana. Even, her eyes are red, I don't know how many times I cried today......

"Hmm~~~!"

It's just that this concern is only fleeting. After all, the "fresh and sweet aroma" coming from the kitchen completely attracted the attention of the cheese in an instant.

"Alright! This is my special live braised salt baked liver! Come on, sit down and eat together, and have dinner with everyone will be more atmospheric! ”

As he spoke, Arrow walked out of the kitchen with a plate of beautifully prepared liver dishes with a strange fragrance in his hand.

With the smell of cocoa's saliva running down the water, Arrow placed the dish in the corner of the table, letting Brad and Cream get out of the way and arrange for Cheese to sit in.

Coco looked at this plate of fragrant liver, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Brother President, that ...... Can I ask for one? ”

While saying this, the fork in Coco's hand was already stretched out uncontrollably.

"No, you can't! How many times have I said it. ”

Airo simply slapped her fork open, and said—

"I used a lot of poisonous spices for cheese food, and normal people would lie down immediately after eating it, so no matter how fragrant it was, they couldn't touch it. Do you understand? Something that smells too strong is something problematic! ”
