Chapter 50 Hope in the Midst of Despair

Arrow thought for a moment, and then said, "For now, it's better not to use this money for the time being." Then, the reason why I say these things to you is also to hope that you will not publicize this matter. For the sake of our guild's safety, we need to unanimously declare that the Iron Wolf Guild has left and everyone is safe. As for where the Iron Wolf Guild went next, and what exactly they did, we don't know. Do you understand now? ”

With Arrow's introduction, even if everyone is not clear, they can now understand what to do with this money.

Everyone nodded, although it was helpless to look at the money, but it was the best way to do it now.

After settling everyone, Arrow also picked up the flame long knife placed next to him, and sighed with some regret: "Similarly, although this weapon looks very good, this is a stolen goods after all. Since it is stolen goods, it cannot be left with us, let alone used. The knife had to be dealt with...... Originally, I was going to let those slimes corrupt this weapon, just like anything else. But this enchanted weapon can't be used, which is very uncomfortable......"

Arrow said this to see if these guys had any way to deal with the weapon.

But look at these people, everyone is also looking at themselves with a pair of big eyes, and each one is waiting for himself to say what solution. Even Cream, who had always seemed to be assertive before, was now looking at himself expectantly......

Well, it is indeed my mistake to expect a thug to come out of the streets and alleys with some superb insight.

"All in all, the sword and the gold coins were stored first, and everyone was not allowed to tell the public. It's autumn now, and the tax collector should come to collect the taxes soon, so let's wait until then. ”

After eating, everyone cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest. After a busy day, everyone was also tired and tired, and it didn't take long for the entire guild to be quiet.

As usual, Arrow put the finishing touches on the counter.

He looked up at the bulletin board facing the counter, on which some tasks had already begun to be pasted bits and pieces.

Cleaning the yard, helping to carry things, accompanying the elderly in their own house, etc.

Although the quest is still fragmented, it is still the most normal way for an adventurer's guild to function. If he had to fight a guild like Iron Wolf every day, he really doubted that he would really be able to survive until three years from now.

"Ah...... Whew~~~"

Yawning, Arrow picked up his ledger and walked to the basement with the flaming knife in his hand and lifted the plank.

The basement has been cleaned up and used to store food and herbs. Arrow looked left and right, came to the barrel where the Bloody Bugs were placed, opened the barrel and glanced inside.

The bloody worm was moving around the room very lively, and it seemed to be used to the environment. Looking at its slow wriggling appearance, somehow, I suddenly felt that this big fleshy insect seemed a little cute?

Well, it's time to think about how to extract the essence from its body.

After sticking the flaming knife into a water tank, Eero stretched and walked up the stairs to the second floor and back to his door.

Closing the door, he took off his hat and let his hair relax.

I don't know when it started, but this time of day has become the most relaxing moment for her. Looking at the girl in the mirror, she can reminisce about the past to her heart's content, so that she doesn't have to hide it anymore. And those lies will have nothing to do with you at this moment, and the whole world will only be left with a truth that does not need scheming at all, what a state of relaxation......

Squeak –

The door opened suddenly.

In the girl's panic, what she saw was Napa slowly floating in.

The girl exhaled lightly and picked up the comb again to run her hair.

Napa closed the door softly and slowly floated to the dresser and lay down, staring at the girl with big eyes, as if expecting something.

But the girl said nothing, and continued to comb her hair in the mirror, as if she had completely forgotten that there was still the cat.

Finally, Napa couldn't help it: "Ariel, that magic crystal ring...... Can you show it to me? ”

"Huh? Would you like to see it? Yes. ”

The girl was not reserved, put down the comb, took out the black magic crystal ring from her pocket again, and spread out her palm for Napa to see.

Seeing the magic crystal, Napa's royal blue eyes changed all at once! As if it had seen something most beautiful in the world, it couldn't help but stretch out its two furry claws to grab it!

But as if she had expected it, the girl quickly withdrew her hand and put the ring back into her bosom.

"You!"

Seeing that the magic crystal that was about to arrive was taken away, Napa's eyes quickly filled with a different kind of ferocious color!

It floated up slowly, all the hairs on its body exploded, and the expression on its face was no longer as soft as before!

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

The girl was still combing her hair in the mirror, and the smile on her lips was always there.

But if Napa had been able to see through the surface at this point, or fly under the table to see the girl's trembling calves, perhaps she would have been able to judge current events a little more accurately.

Hanging in mid-air, Napa froze, the ferocity on her face continuing.

In those royal blue eyes, the girl's combing movements were always so orderly.

In this way, after a stalemate for five minutes, this cat monster seemed to have finally figured out something, the fierce aura on its body was slowly put away, and the originally exploded hair was slowly withdrawn.

It landed on the dresser again, and said in a very sincere tone, "President Ariel, can you ...... Give me that magic crystal ring? Magic crystal, now for me...... Very important. ”

"You want a magic crystal?"

The girl put down the comb again, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

After a moment's hesitation, the girl shook her head again, "Oh, I forgot, you like magic crystals. But I'm afraid I can't give you this ring, it's the property that Cream gave to the guild, and I can't give it to anyone casually. ”

Napa's face instantly appeared with disappointment, and its tail suddenly drooped, and its whole body looked sluggish.

The girl got up, walked to the side of the bed and said, "This magic crystal ring means a lot to Cream, and I can't let such an important thing disappear casually." So, even if you want it, I can't give it to you, that's the rule. ”

Napa's ears drooped, and he didn't know if he had heard the words. But just as it flew back up and drifted towards the door......

"I can give you another one, though. I picked it up when King Slime died, and I forgot that you liked these things, so I brought it to you, can you see if it fits? ”

The ears that were originally drooping were instantly erected! The cat monster turned around, only to see that the girl was taking it out of a small bag next to the bed, and soon, it took out a magic crystal that shimmered pale pink, which was many times larger than the magic crystal ring, and was the size of a girl's fist!

Looking at Napa's expression of surprise mixed with ecstasy, the girl stretched out her hand and solemnly handed the pink magic crystal in front of it, and said with a smile, "So, do you want it?" ”

"To !!"

Before these words could reach the girl's ears, Napa pounced on her like a beast that had been hungry for a week and suddenly encountered a feast, and her two little paws hugged the magic crystal, opened her mouth and bit the magic crystal without hesitation.

In an instant, something in the pink magic crystal seemed to have been extracted, and it was quickly absorbed by this cat demonic beast. The originally beautiful color also began to fade quickly, turning into some gray-black impurities.

In just ten minutes, the pink magic crystal that had been beautiful and shiny before turned into a loose black stone, and Napa looked refreshed, and the original pale yellow fur surface exuded a faint pink halo.

Satisfied, it let go of its paws and landed on the dresser, closing its eyes to feel the changes in itself. And as soon as it let go of its claws, the stone in the girl's hand turned to ashes and disappeared without a trace.

The girl clapped her hands, didn't bother, didn't ask, just took off her coat on her own, changed into comfortable pajamas, climbed into bed, and comfortably pulled up the futon and covered her body.

After about five minutes or so, Napa finally came to her senses from her adjustments. It shook its ears, and was about to say something when it found that the girl was already lying down.

"Ariel? I'd like to say that...... I'm sorry to doubt your ......"

"It's fine. Can you help me turn off the lights when I go out? And about the door. Also, can you knock on the door the next time you come in? It's scary. ”

The girl closed her eyes and said these words softly and skillfully. This blocked Napa, who had a stomach full of things to say.

After a moment's hesitation, Napa finally nodded. It curled its neck and curled its tail, like a child who had done something wrong when he was finally allowed to leave after being lectured by his parents, gently blowing out the oil lamp, pulling open the door, and gently closing it again.

"Good night, Ariel."

"Good night, Napa."

The door closes.

In the darkness, the girl was smiling.

It is not much to be grateful for satisfying one's hopes when one is full of hope. But when I was full of despair, the moment I suddenly got great satisfaction, the stirring of my spirit can be said to be a complete shock!

Is it true of people, cats?

She knew she was going to have a good night's sleep.

One deeply repents of why he thought of such a vicious way to win the trust of others, and at the same time is very satisfied with the strange dream of respect for him.
