Chapter 579 Black eats black
Everyone's eyes turned to Cream again, and after Cream was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered again, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing that Cream didn't react, Margaux nodded lightly and continued, "Anyway, I'm just saying what I want to say and making an opinion. In the end, it's up to our Assassins to decide whether or not to do so. If he finds it completely unacceptable, then what I am saying here is also in vain. β
Coco thought for a while, got up, propped his hands on the table, and said, "Even if there is really only this medicine that can be done now, then will the elder brother go and buy it?" If you buy it, the price is not cheap. β
The conversation finally turned to this one.
The excitement on Margaux's face was a little uncontrollable, and it was completely expressed.
In order to calm herself down again, she raised her staff, tapped the ground lightly, and said with the pride on her face, "Of course, if you want to buy it, it is indeed very expensive. You know the character of our president, don't you? Asking him to spend some money was like killing him. But ah...... What do you think if I say that now we can have a way to get a large number of Du Lengjia for free? β
"Get it for free?"
Cheese raised his hand and patted his somewhat tired skull slightlyβ
"Who are you looking for? The old man with sugar-coated wine? The old man was gone after the Holy Night Sacrifice, and God knows where we should look for him. β
While Cheese was saying these words, Margaux walked unhurriedly towards the counter. I saw her take down a stack of books from the shelf, pat it slightly, and then walk back with a smile and put it in front of everyone's eyes.
"What's this?"
Brad's eyes widened as he looked at the manuscripts, which seemed to be written entirely by hand. After seeing the many alchemy forms and magic arrays displayed on it, I immediately felt a headache.
Margaux smiled indifferently, she picked up the bound manuscript on it, put it aside, and said, "Actually, I haven't read it carefully. But if you look at the description at a cursory, these are the pharmacological parts about Du Leng Jia. We can ignore it. The most critical part is this part. β
As she spoke, Margaux pulled out the piece of paper from underneath and spread it out on the table, it was a map.
As long as you have a little understanding of the terrain of the Blue Bay Empire, you can see that this is a map about the Blue Bay Empire. In some places on the border of the empire, there are many dense drawings and records.
Looking at the map, Margaux nodded slightly, pointed to the record point closest to Pelican Town, and said, "As you can see, these records are all about Du Lengjia's smuggling route. As long as we can intercept any of these smuggling routes, the amount of Du Lengjia obtained should be absolutely enough for our assassins. Well, maybe a little bit more. β
Bumper ββ!
At the moment when Margaux finished speaking, Cream, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly slapped the case as if he had suddenly touched some kind of nerve!
He glared at the eyes, slightly yellowed from tiredness, his lips trembled slightly, and said in a slightly depressed voice, "Margaux! You...... Do you want us to go black and eat black? Want us to ...... To interrupt these smuggling routes? In other words...... Do you want us to follow the idea of that Eagle Hisstein and fight against this family of medicine who has already received the support of the royal family?! β
A sneer erupted from the corner of Margaux's mouth and said, "What, have an opinion?" Anyway, the other party is also smuggling, which is an illegal business. The fact that we interrupt the smuggling routes can even be said to be a contribution to our country. β
Cream gritted her teeth and waved her hand violently: "Do you know that the president definitely doesn't want to go against the royal family?" No, not only the president, but as long as he is in his right mind, he would not want to go against the royal family! If you go straight to the smuggling industry, it's the same asβ"
"Am I not in my right mind? You're the one who really has a bad brain, right, Cream. β
The contemptuous smile on Margaux's lips was as usual, and after directly interrupting Cream's words, she continuedβ
"Since they are all called 'smuggling', it is conceivable that these Du Lengjia must not have gone through the normal tariff procedures. In other words, the profits from the sale of this batch of Du Lengjia will not be able to get a single iron coin from our royal family. So, who is the most energetic person in the fight against smuggling? It is conceivable that it is our Blue Bay Empire royal family! As long as we really crack down on smuggling, it's too late for the royal family to be happy, how can we not agree? β
A few words directly stunned Cream Refuted.
The Assassin just stood still, as if his mind was clogged up and he didn't know what to do.
And Margaux didn't bother with him, and turned directly to everyone and said, "So guys, what are we doing this case?" Or don't do it? Let me first explain the benefits of doing this vote. For one, we'll get a lot of Dulen nails. Once this batch of Du Lengjia reaches our hands, it is equivalent to disappearing directly from this world. When the time comes, even if we sell it ourselves, or use it to return it to the country, it will only be good, and there will be no harm. Second, with Du Lengjia, the assassins of our guild can work hard to overcome the pain caused by the dark forces and recover into our battle lineup as soon as possible. β
After a slight pause, Margaux continued: "And the downside...... Obviously, we may need to confront a smuggling (harmony) force. If you don't handle the leaked messages well, it may bring a lot of trouble to our guild. So this time it's different from the guild commissions we've received in the past, this kind of thing......"
"It's a mercenary's business, not a properly registered guild like ours."
Unexpectedly, now it was Coco who jumped out directly and said such a sentence.
This sentence made everyone present turn their heads and look at the youngest guild member. Even Napa, who was cowering in the cat house, silently stuck her head out and listened to the situation.
Coco is very calm now.
Her expression was very calm, and there was no sign of panic. After waiting for everyone to look at her, the little girl exhaled slowly and said, "Ever since I first joined the Mermaid Song, Brother Guild has been telling me one thing. That is, we are a registered guild of adventurers, not a mercenary legion that can accept any commission. β
"Because we're guilds, we have some things we can do and some things we can't. The more legal business, the better, and try not to touch illegal things. That's why the Empire is able to allow our guilds to exist and allow us to assume a variety of social functions. β
"However, the mercenary group does not have such and such rules and regulations. They can kill people at will, and they can accept all kinds of commissions that do not comply with the law. Of course, such an organization will not be protected by the Empire, and sometimes the Empire will send troops to exterminate it if it goes too far. Those who don't have time to exterminate for a while will be called a thief group or a bandit group. β
"We were able to remove the True Eye in one fell swoop because their organization went from a serious 'guild' to a 'gang of robbers'. That's how we're famous. But Margaux ......"
"If we really do what you just said, then we're undoubtedly doing what mercenary groups do. Do you think this kind of thing will be allowed by the elder brother? β
The necromancer's tone was very heavy, and he was very serious.
Everyone looked at this little girl, looking at this child who usually only followed Arrow and kept calling "Brother President", but now he expressed his request so firmly, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but have all kinds of careful thoughts.
But......
The corners of Margaux's mouth still have that charming smile.
She raised her hand, tapped Cream, then Coco, and finally shifted her fingers to Brad and Parfay's heads, and said with a smile, "So, what about the two of you?" Do you think so too? β
The pair thought for a moment, and after a while, Parphy nodded very seriously and said, "The president does want us to try not to do illegal things. Let's interrupt the smuggling channels...... Probably kills, right? I'm afraid the president won't like our reason to kill. β
And Brad also agreed: "Yes, yes, although the president sometimes seems to be a bad person, I know that the president is still a good person overall. And a very good person...... What's more, the danger of attacking the smuggling team is too great, and if you don't get it right, the president will be implicated......"
"Oh, one by one, as if I know you very well."
But the remarks of these members were all rejected by Margaux with a very contemptuous laugh.
Coco straightened her waist and said solemnly, "What do you mean?" β
Margaux still looked relaxed, spread her hands and smiled, "What do you mean?" That's what I mean. Don't understand? Let me explain it a little more clearly. Essentially, I don't think our president is really a good boy as you think. The illusion he usually creates for you is too serious, right? Yes, I don't deny that he's a good guy, but he's not a good guy in the ordinary sense of the word. If you can earn a lot of gold in this way, I'm sure our president won't miss it. What's more, you shouldn't have forgotten it, right? Our guild still owes a lot of money! Before the end of this year, if our guild has not achieved the expected returns, it is still a question whether this guild can be kept! β
