Chapter 656 - Bad News
Because of the mermaid's song, the two magicians of the Royal Wizards Guild didn't show much hatred.
However, for the sake of safety, they checked the elemental machine the next day, and after confirming that it had indeed been smashed, they hurriedly hired a carriage and left Pelican Town, not even attending the funeral. I wonder how they will report the death of their colleague when they return to the capital.
But, at least for Pelican Town, the matter is over for the time being. Although the mayor of Round Cheese is also very distressed that he has spent a lot of money to give gifts to these two magicians, it is best if the matter can be over, and even if the association really comes, there will be room for reversal, and he will not let himself lose his head as the mayor.
Luckily, after the attack was over, the pair of swordsmen and apprentices didn't come back to Pelican Town. It was as if they were completely curled up in the Hellenschwancastle in the distance, completely unconcerned and indifferent to the magician's departure. Sometimes, when Arrow asked Viscount Ruichi, there was no way to get a definite message. I can only hear that the master and apprentice are constantly studying something strange and incomprehensible, and that's it.
Without the Elemental Machine, it did cause a lot of trouble for Pelican Town.
The most immediate effect is that the nightlife fun at night has dropped significantly.
In a few days, by six o'clock in the evening, there were no more stalls and pedestrians on the streets. And the flower fairies didn't seem to have much interest in the dark streets, and when the sun went down, they basically flew back to the Shining Forest and never came back.
Although it took a lot of effort for the mayor of Round Cheese to finally purchase a large amount of lamp oil, and then hang all the oil lamps that he had put away on the street and light them up, where did the light of the oil lamps come from to stabilize the elemental lamps? And the light was so dim that it couldn't even stay bright all night.
After a few days of lighting and seeing that the money for lamp oil was really excessive, Mayor Round Cheese finally gave up the decision helplessly and put away the oil lamp.
As the townsfolk of Pelican Town, it's just a return to what they've been going through for hundreds of years.
But as they had already tasted the benefits of the elemental lamp, it was already difficult for them to return to that terrible and dark night again.
It is precisely because of this that a sad atmosphere began to waft throughout Pelican Town. And Iero believes that there should be no way to eliminate this atmosphere in a short period of time......
However, for the matter of the magic crystal, round cheese did not ask Eero for it.
Perhaps the mayor himself has acquiesced to the fact that it is safer to put the magic crystal in a more knowledgeable guild rather than in the mayor's office.
But on the other hand, although there is no nightlife, the business of the flower fairy has not been lost after all. Life at night becomes cleaner, but it also makes trading and travel during the day a little more frequent.
It's just that this kind of frequency is also short-lived, and the income is also a visible decline.
On this day, just as Arrow was trying to worry about the account books in his hand, an impatient push on the door smashed open the door of the guild, which seemed to be a little deserted.
"President Arrow! President Arrow! ”
With this roar of wind and fire, it was the whiskey that had become a blacksmith.
When he came in and saw that the guild was fully staffed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted nervously again: "Something happened!" Something is wrong! President Arrow, and everyone! Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
Due to the gradual decline of business in Pelican Town, it is rare for the Guild Members of Merfolk Song to gather together during the day. Cream, who was sitting on the chandelier on the ceiling, jumped down and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" What's wrong? Calm down. ”
Whiskey reached out and put his hand on Cream's shoulder, trying to breathe a sigh of relief before he spoke again, "Something happened!" Something is wrong! Terylene...... Polyester and those carpenters are fighting! Wrong wrong...... What's more, Logging Daddy has passed away! So they fought! ”
"Logging Daddy?!"
Hearing this, Eero slammed up from his seat!
Some time ago, Daddy Lumberjack's health was already a little bad, and in fact, Arrow was already mentally prepared for this. But now that he really heard that the father who had single-handedly built the entire guild had died, he could still feel a feeling of being slammed in his heart.
But before it was Arrow's turn to feel sad, Whiskey immediately stepped forward and knocked on the table, and said loudly—
"Hurry up! Let's hurry! That guy is about to disobey me! I thought about it, and we in Pelican Town have the ability to stop that guy because of your Mermaid Song, so ...... So hurry up! Don't make it bigger! ”
With that, the whiskey couldn't wait any longer, turned around and rushed out of the guild gate, running in the direction of Daddy Lumber's house.
The guild gathered together, looked at the open door, and then at their president, waiting for an order.
Arrow turned his head to look at everyone, except for Cheese, who was sleeping in the room as usual. He gritted his teeth, felt the pain in his heart, and waved his hand: "Go!" ”
————
Run out of the guild and work towards your goal.
Today's weather is really not very good, the gloomy sky is like a mass of gray-black cotton wool, mixed with too many complicated things, and people are not in a good mood to see.
Whiskey leads the way in the front, and Mermaid Song follows in the back. It didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the house where Daddy Lumber lived before his death.
It was an ordinary house that didn't look remarkable, but now, there were bursts of beatings and shouts from inside the house.
Some of the townspeople gathered around the door, talking to each other, but they did not dare to enter. Some of the townsfolk saw the Merfolk Song arrive, and immediately looked delighted, and pointed to the inside of the gate.
"Calm down!"
"Calm down? Who do you let calm down?! I'm calm now! I'm very calm! ”
With the sound of an argument coming from inside the room, a figure flew out of it, and sat heavily on the ground outside, clutching his chest and moaning.
When Arrow saw it, this was exactly the student that Daddy Logging had taken in before! Immediately after, another person walked out of the room, looking at the thick arms and strong body, who was it if it wasn't polyester?
I saw that he was carrying a former student of the logging father on his shoulder, and he also had one under his armpit. He walked out with a fierce look on his face and threw the two men on his shoulders and armpits hard outside. Then, the carpenter wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted loudly with a slight cry: "You guys...... You students! It's a shame that the teacher used to treat you so kindly...... But why are you still here to calm me down?! Are you calming down?! Tell me! Can you still calm down?! ”
Seeing that this guy was already a little crazy, Whiskey couldn't care about the Mermaid Song members behind him, so he hurriedly caught up and grabbed him: "Polyester!" Calm down! You're a little too much right now! Like you, they are all students who learned carpentry from Timber Daddy, and now that Timber Daddy has gone, how can you disciples cause infighting?! ”
Seeing the whiskey coming, Polyester's already somewhat pathetic mood could no longer be contained. Tears rolled down from the corners of this man's eyes, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hugged his good brother and cried loudly.
"Whiskey! Woooooo Teacher...... Teacher, he's dead! Wow wow, wow, ......! The teacher is dead! Teacher! Woo woo woo!! ”
Looking at the man who was constantly crying here, Arrow finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stepped forward, picked up an apprentice carpenter who had been thrown to the ground, helped him pat the dust off his back, and said, "What's wrong?" Why is it so serious? Logging Daddy...... Logging Daddy, is he really ...... now? ”
Talking about Daddy Lumberjack, Arrow was also a little sentimental, and his nose was involuntarily sour.
Cream on the side saw that there were some tears in Arrow's eyes now, so he naturally stepped forward, gently pulled those carpentry apprentices and said, "What's going on?" ”
The carpentry apprentice rubbed his still aching buttocks, sighed a little helplessly, and said, "Alas...... It was this morning. ”
"Actually, since last night, Daddy's body has been very weak. We, the apprentices, were afraid that something would go wrong, so we had been by my father's side since last night. But ......"
A carpentry apprentice next to him was helped up by Brad, who also rubbed his buttocks, and stepped forward and said: "Let me tell you, since Polyester came to our town to work as a carpenter, he was almost immediately shocked by the craftsmanship of the logging father. He's a professional carpenter, and we're ...... To be honest, there weren't many people in Pelican Town before, so we, the so-called apprentices, followed Logging Daddy, basically learning a craft that we could tinker with in our own homes, and didn't think about using it to make money. We have other farm work to do, so we don't have any sense of inheritance that we want to inherit. ”
"But polyester is different, this guy really came to open a carpentry shop, and directly became a student of Logging Daddy."
"This guy is very fanatical, and he usually runs to his father's house to study when he has nothing to do. Some time ago, my father's health was not good enough, so he almost stayed up all night to take care of him. Two days ago, he even fainted during the day because he had been taking care of his logging father. ”
