Of course, Eero also made his opinion at the meeting as a neutral. While depicting the unique natural environment of Pelican Town to establish a tourist city, which may make a lot of money in one go, it is also believed that Pelican Town, as a border town, will immediately suffer a devastating blow if it lowers the priority of the agricultural economy in one go, once it encounters a shortage of food.

These opinions naturally made some townspeople start to worry and hesitate a little about the construction of a tourist city. At the same time, when most businesses know that the job they are doing now is likely to have to undergo economic transformation in the process of urban expansion, and they have to take on a job that they may never have done before and is completely unfamiliar, this worry and hesitation has also increased a lot.

The week-long meeting continued, and the townspeople who supported the expansion of the town and established it as a tourist city and the residents who wanted to build an industrial or agricultural city took sides, and two different forces gradually formed.

It is precisely because of this difference in opinion that some things that Arrow did not expect at all began to happen in this town, which used to be very peaceful......

————

On a summer afternoon, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The air in the town seemed to be suppressed by this black cloud, and the stuffy and humid smell could not be dispersed outside, constantly entrenching in every corner of the street.

From time to time, there was a low rumbling sound in the sky, as if to herald the terrible scene that was about to behold this peaceful town.

Arrow stood in front of the guild gate, looking at the dark clouds in the sky outside.

The guild members were all out to work now, which made the hall seem empty. Especially in this kind of situation, it was just afternoon, but the hall was dark and oppressive, as if it had reached the middle of the night.

Just then, a pedestrian approached from the east side of the road. When I passed by the door of Mermaid Song, I naturally said hello. Just as Arrow was about to raise his hand to say hello, another pedestrian came from the west, and the two of them snorted coldly when they saw each other, as if they had seen an enemy, and left on their own.

Arrow, who was still holding his hand in the air, was as embarrassed as he was now.

"Did you do it?"

At some point, Napa floated onto the top of Arrow's head.

The cat leaned on Arrow's hat very presumptuously, stretched out his paws and stepped on the edge of the hat, and said, "I really didn't expect that in addition to being able to restore the economic vitality of such a small town in one go, you can also instantly make the members of the entire town become hostile to each other, as if there is some kind of father-killing enmity between them." This kind of indifference has never been seen in Pelican Town before. ”

Arrow wanted to defend himself, but for a moment he felt as if he had nothing to defend himself.

In fact, a large part of the reason for this situation does come from one's own attachment. Maybe the townspeople didn't hear it when they listened to him, but his seemingly neutral docent narrator did have some slight biases in describing the advantages and disadvantages of tourist and industrial cities.

"Alas...... It's all about money. Most of the problems in this world are basically money problems. ”

Napa wasn't interested in Arrow's current sigh, it just raised its claws and slapped it on Arrow's forehead with a snap, saying, "So what? How are you going to settle this matter? Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing your parents, you once said so. But now you have personally split the town into two factions, and you can be said to have artificially cut off the other party's financial route. ”

Arrow pursed his lips, raised a finger and shook it, and said, "A divided Pelican Town is definitely not good for me to make money, that's for sure." I'm starting to regret my decision now. There is no way to resolve this split, as long as the development of the town can be put into operation, and when everyone starts to make money, this controversy will naturally be resolved. I believe that with the ability of the mayor of Round Cheese, he has an absolute way to soothe the emotions of one of the parties and not make the other feel offended. ”

"Hahahaha!" Napa turned over on Airo's head very simply and stretched, "This is the first time you've been so excited about the mayor's ability to do things~~!" I thought that Lao Tengshu's high-achieving students were really fearless, and they could settle everything by themselves! ”

Turning over, Napa raised her paw and rubbed her beard: "But don't worry, it doesn't matter if someone is really unhappy, my strength has recovered a lot now, and I can help you solve any unstable problems." Well, I mean the person who helped you solve the problem, not the person who helped you solve the problem. And I'm going to do it beautifully, and I won't embarrass you in any way. ”

Having lived together for so long, Arrow also knows that this cat likes to joke. It's just that this kind of joke doesn't sound funny at all now.

Come to think of it, there's still a meeting tomorrow, and it looks like this kind of thing can't be done, and this meeting should continue forever. At present, it seems that it is better to take the money and invest it first, as for whether it is a tourist city or an industrial city, it is better to wait until the money is in hand.

Thinking of this, Arrow shook his head, planning to go back and sort out his development plan prospects for tourist cities and industrial cities, and then make a few reports similar to financial revenue, public security management, personnel flow, etc.

But at this moment, an old man poked his head inside from the door of the guild. There is no doubt that this is the same Mr. Sugar-Coated Wine.

Seeing this old gentleman, Arrow hurriedly put down the work in his hand and stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sugar-coated wine? Is there something wrong with you? Come, please come in and talk about it. It was not good outside and it felt like it was going to rain at any time. ”

Sugar-coated wine looked at Arrow, but now the emotion in the old gentleman's eyes did not have that color of doubt and jealousy, on the contrary, there was a little more hesitation.

However, he still walked into the gate of the guild, as if to welcome the old man into the door, The sky, which had always been black and oppressive, suddenly couldn't be restrained at this moment, accompanied by a lightning bolt across the sky, and the heavy rain also fell from mid-air with a bang, turning the entire Pelican Town into a water city.

Arrow closed the guild door, blocking out the shrill thunderstorm, and guided the old man and the two henchmen behind him to the rest area and sat down on the couch.

After making tea, Arrow took the teapot and said with a smile: "Mr. Sugarcoat, if you are here to ask about the results, then I can only say that we have not reached a conclusion yet. But don't worry, I think we should be able to get the results at tomorrow's meeting. ”

Holding the tea, Sugar-Coated Wine thought for a moment and said, "President Arrow, I learned from some of the townsfolk that you should be considered the leader of the opposition, aren't you?" ”

Arrow was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What are you talking about, where am I an opposition?" ”

Sugar-coated wine didn't seem so convinced, and said very firmly, "President Arrow, don't be humble, I know very well. You had denied my plans to visit the city to your face, and you had a lot of questions, even if the townspeople didn't say it explicitly, I knew you must have thought so. So, as long as you don't nod your head, my Pelican Town expansion plan will be terminated indefinitely. ”

Speaking of this, Arrow was a little ashamed. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip slowly. With the constant sound of rain lapping on the windowpane, he spoke, "Actually—"

"President Arrow! I sincerely hope that you will give more consideration to the city of tourism! After all, Pelican Town is a perfect place to build a tourist city! As a sign of my sincerity, I'm here to provide you with a hotel license to make your guild the official accommodation for us in Pelican Town! ”

Seeing that this old man was so sincere, the words that Arrow came to his lips were a little speechless all of a sudden.

He hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Hotel...... License? What do you mean by this, Mr. Sugarcoat? ”

Seeing that Arrow didn't quite understand, Sugar-Coated Wine immediately showed a smile on his face, and said happily, "Don't you know, President Arrow? This is a necessary license to operate an inn or lodging business. Just as you need a guild business license to open a guild, I also have a hotel business license for you to use! ”

Arrow smiled, shook his head slowly, and said, "You don't need this, right?" We already have a resident hotel in Pelican Town, and if we need to open an accommodation business in the short term, it may take a moment at the end of each year. I'm afraid I won't need your hotel business license, right? ”

In this regard, Sugar-Coated said very seriously: "President Arrow, what you said is a bit ridiculous. Guild War's lodging business does not require a business license, as Imperial law requires that if it is open for no more than three months in a year, it is not necessary to apply for a license. But once it has been open for more than three months, then it is necessary to apply for a business license. ”

"President Arrow, I know that you are in the guild industry, and the tourist city needs to go through a series of construction periods, during which it may cause some damage to your guild's economic income. But! If you become the only hotel in Pelican before the expansion is completed, you can make some money, right?! ”
