Swan Castle, formerly known as Granite Fort.

The fort was built almost 400 years ago to supervise Pelican Town, which was then an iron mining town.

However, the fortress does not know what kind of curse it has provoked, and every owner who enters this fortress will encounter some kind of misfortune.

In particular, the last lords of the castle either disappeared or died inexplicably, and no matter how careful their successors were, they would all fall into the same end, without the slightest spare.

Eventually, 400 years ago, the last owner of the castle set fire to the fort, and since then 400 years have passed, which can be regarded as a period of peace.

And last year, Merfolk Song was commissioned by the current owner of the castle, Viscount Ritch Wald, to wipe out the ghosts, rotting spiders, and carrion monsters that inhabit the castle, so that the castle can be reborn and restored to a beautiful castle that can be admired in the sun.

And the current owner of the castle also gave her an even more beautiful and beautiful name - Swan Castle.

The above is a specific introduction to this castle. Do you all understand? ”

That night, Eero gave a brief account of the details of Swan Castle at a meeting with everyone.

Although it is an introduction, the most important thing is to introduce the cheese and pastry who don't know about it, so that they can understand the situation.

Sutta obediently held the kettle, went around the table, and poured water for everyone one by one. It doesn't look like a paladin at all.

I believe that except for the nameplate hanging from the ribbon she used to tie her hair, there is no way for anyone to see that this woman is actually named a paladin, right?

Well, not only will outsiders not believe it, but there shouldn't be many people in the guild who believe it.

"Please...... Tea ......"

After pouring the water, Sutta obediently walked aside with the kettle, and at the same time absentmindedly raised his head and looked at his room. It seems that she really cares about her husband.

Arrow rubbed his head and sorted out his current thoughts a little.

If I really want to say it, things in the guild are really busy right now. First of all, this paladin!

Originally, Arrow planned to spend the next three days helping Sutta build up her self-confidence, and if necessary, she could also create a sense of oppression, such as letting Brad go head-to-head with her, so that she could understand that she really had the power of a paladin.

But now the sudden appearance of Swan Castle really makes Arrow feel a little helpless.

In addition, there is also the tourism of the Fairy Forest, the sale of flower fairy products, and the preparation for the "diplomatic team" of the flower fairy to go to the capital for an audience at the end of the year, there are really a lot of things! Who has time to take care of Swan Castle in such a busy situation?

But now the task is thrown directly on his head, even if Arrow doesn't want to take it anymore, but this is the task given by the tree of life directly indicating the surname! God knows what kind of punishment he will face if he gives up such a task.

Alas...... It's so worry-free to make money...... That's enough.

After adjusting his mood, Arrow raised his head again and said slowly, "After introducing the situation of Swan Castle, let's take a look at that old guy...... What kind of mission have the flower fairies assigned to us? ”

"The specific content of the mission is relatively simple, didn't we destroy the carrion monster under that castle before? However, the carrion monster was only a consequence, not a cause. In other words, we haven't solved the real cause of the carrion monster. ”

"Because of this uneradicated cause, the castle is now attracting some bad things, so the flower elves have come to ask us to get rid of the thing that was attracted by the mermaid song, so that we can ease down a little longer."

Speaking of this, the cheese on the side was the first to have a question: "President, are you sure you are not wrong?" Can you just get rid of what you're attracted to? In general, we should directly address the cause, right? ”

Arrow smiled.

A very meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Oh, yes...... Wouldn't it be nice if we could address the root cause? It's a hundred, it's clean, isn't it?

But the question is...... Where is the root? Is it deeper underground in that Swanschwancastle? Or any weird place in this world? Besides, the roots? Is the root cause so easy to solve? If it was really that easy to solve, the old tree would still spend so much effort to ask for its own help? You know, it's one of the most troublesome old trees, and even sleeps directly when chatting with people!

So, there is really no way to deal with the so-called root causes. The only thing that can be done is to cure the surface abscess first.

"The root cause of the problem...... It's not that simple. I'll tell you the truth, with the current strength of our Mermaid Song, I'm afraid we don't have the ability to do it face-to-face at the 'root'. That's right, not even you, a member of the Night One. If you're really not convinced, then I can't do anything, but in my judgment, no is no good. ”

Cheese's brow furrowed slightly, but then he stopped talking, and silently returned to his seat.

Seeing that the Bloodclan was silent, Airo exhaled and continued, "So now, let's discuss the content of this mission. ”

He patted the back of his head slightly, thought for a moment, and continued, "Actually, there isn't much content about the mission right now. The flower fairy gave me a very short introduction to the mission, almost equivalent to no content. ”

"What is that thing that is being drawn to the power of the dark nature? I don't know. What do we need to do to get rid of it? I don't know. Is it even a monster? Or is it some special climatic phenomenon? I don't know either. ”

"In this state where everything is almost unclear, the only thing our guild can do is to try to find out as much as possible. At the same time, we also need to get on good terms with the lord of Swan Castle and get the viscount's cooperation as much as possible. I hope you will keep this in mind. ”

The president's words were finally finished.

The members of the Mermaid Song were all sitting in place, you look at me, I looked at you, and now there was nothing else to think about except the confused expression on their faces.

In fact, Arrow also understands that today's meeting is not so much about task arrangement, but rather about giving a preventive shot to his guild members first, so that everyone can understand how heavy the work to deal with next is, and there may even be all kinds of messy and unexpected situations.

Therefore, being vigilant and not taking chances is what these members need most now.

"Okay, it's okay. We adjourned! Take the dishes you finish eating and clean them up by yourself! If you want to practice, go to the training room to continue practicing, and if you want to pick up some evening tasks, you can do it. Get moving! ”

Arrow clapped his hands and adjourned. At that moment, everyone got up from their seats, and they all went about what they were supposed to do.

After all the dishes on the table were packed up and put into the kitchen, Arrow crossed his hands on his hips, and after seeing Margaux and Cream outside wiping the table with a rag, he also rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.

There aren't many dishes, but there are definitely more and more than when I first came here to open a guild.

But on second thought, Arrow also felt that he should open the guild's hotel business as soon as possible.

During the previous time, he was busy with the flower goblin and Du Lengjia, as well as Cream's psychological problems and catching the paladin couple, under various circumstances, the guild's hotel function could not be opened.

But now that the operation of the guild has gradually stabilized, and the flower fairy can already run automatically, he almost only needs to show up and act as a middleman.

In that case, it might be a good idea to open up the hotel business......

On the other hand, opening the hotel means that guild members will have more time to help out in the hotel, and there will be no way to go out to do tasks.

I have to say that there have been more and more people in Pelican Town recently, and the work of the guild has become busier and busier...... So, wouldn't it be a worthwhile job to ditch the guild's mission work and focus on running the inn wholeheartedly?

Arrow tilted his head, doing various accounting calculations in his mind while washing the dishes, trying to figure out which of the two businesses would be more profitable.

But as he washed, he suddenly noticed that he had an extra pair of hands next to him.

When I turned my head, I saw that the crisp tower had also rolled up her sleeves and helped brush the bowl beside her.

Well...... And this big problem hasn't been solved yet......

Looking at the appearance of the crispy tart, the movement of Arrow's hand slowed down a little. He turned his head and began to scrutinize the new "paladin" of the guild.

And Sutta also noticed Arrow's eyes, and the movements of his hands also stopped involuntarily, turned his head, and looked at the president with a little timidity.

"It's okay, just get on with your work."

Seeing how much she cared about her eyes, Arrow smiled and started washing the dishes again. But he adjusted his position so that he could brush the greasy dishes once and then hand them over to the crispy tart for a second cleaning.

This kind of partnership made Sutta stunned for a moment, but she soon understood, took the dishes from Arrow's hand, and began to brush the second handful. After washing, rinse it again with clean water to make it look clean.

In this way, the work of the two people began to seem more efficient, and the speed of washing the dishes began to become faster.
