Napa smiled at Napa's current unique method of "comforting". He shook his head lightly and said, "Actually...... It's not that I don't want to make this money. As long as I can earn 1,000 gold coins before the allotted time, as long as it is a legal job, I am willing to do anything. It's just that...... I think of a classic economic case I saw in the school library. If I really don't care about anything to make this money, then the consequences are very likely...... It's that the whole of Pelican Town will be destroyed at some point in the future. ”

In an instant, the cat's hair stood on end! Its tail was raised high, its fur exploded, and it shouted vigilantly, "The whole Pelican Town will be destroyed in one fell swoop?!" Is the legendary Demon King coming back to life?! The Demon King who was finally sealed in the Battle of Chaos???!!! ”

Arrow couldn't help but laugh out loud, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I can still distinguish between myth and reality." How was Pelican Town destroyed...... It may not be the same as you think. Well...... Now I'm not in a position to elaborate with you. All in all, it is a classic tactic that can destroy a person, a village, a town, a city, and a country without blood. I can only guess now, and I can't fully confirm it...... But if things are really as I guessed...... Who is the man who wants to destroy Pelican Town? And what is the purpose? ”

Napa thought for a moment and immediately raised a paw: "Could it be that Viscount Norris?" Now the only one who has a head-to-head conflict with you is this guy! ”

Although Arrow also wanted to think so, the reality decided that Viscount Norris should not be the enemy this time. After all, Norris had already made obvious moves before, in order to limit his financial income. If it was this self-consciousness who initiated the acquisition of iron weapons this time, then he would definitely be able to think that he could easily earn 1,000 gold coins, which should not be allowed by the instigator behind him.

Of course, the most important question now is not whether the classic economic tactics that I saw in the books are happening, but whether it depends on Arrow's own will.

If you hide all your worries, then, of course, you can earn a lot of money in one go and meet the conditions of your task.

But the price is that when you hide everything, the whole Pelican Town will suffer a very high price at some point in the future. This price could ruin this quiet and peaceful town.

But if you really explain these things to the townspeople, I don't want to say whether they will believe it. If they really believe all their words...... It means that you have missed a good opportunity to make such a quick buck.

On one side, it's money.

On the one hand, it is the future happiness of all the townspeople of Pelican Town.

It's a really difficult choice......

It's a pity that Arrow can't fully say what he really thinks in his heart right now. Even though Napa has been comforting and caring all the time, he can only pretend to be very troubled with a smile and prevaricate, but he can't completely confide in his heart.

After all......

Money Matters? Or is the well-being of people who have nothing to do with themselves important? This kind of thing really needs to be considered......

Teemall City, inside the Earl's Residence.

The pot-bellied earl was sitting in his seat in his luxurious office hall at the moment, listening to his subordinate give a detailed report on his recent work.

Listening to it was a little boring, he couldn't help but yawn, and seemed to have no energy.

After yawning several times in a row, the earl saw that the clerk in front of him still didn't mean to finish speaking, and couldn't help but be a little bored, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, I know all these things, no need to say more." What the hell is wrong with you, Jackal? You wouldn't have reported these things to me before, so you can't just handle it yourself? ”

While reporting here, the clerk, whom Count Karp called a loyal jackal, couldn't help but lift up, and his very slender and thin figure was matched with a monocle on the bridge of his nose, making the clerk look a little gloomy.

The affairs officer glanced at his master, saluted slowly, and said, "Your Excellency Earl, it is my duty to report to you on the financial situation of the entire Tianhe City, the progress of the work, and the large-scale events that have occurred in our territory. It's also where my most important work is. ”

Count Karp opened his eyes and glanced at the emaciated man in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that this person had been with him for decades, he really felt that he would have kicked this guy out all at once.

At that moment, Count Karp yawned again, shook his head, and said, "Okay, okay, I know you're faithful to your duty." Then it's still as before, you can do the things in the territory yourself, and don't bother me anymore if there is nothing important. ”

So saying, Count Karp got up, as if preparing to leave.

Seeing that his master was leaving, the loyal jackal hurriedly stepped forward and said with some nervousness: "Your Excellency! If you really don't want to hear it, then please allow your subordinates to give you a small comment again! ”

Hearing that it was the last opinion, Count Karp thought for a moment, then returned to his seat and said with some annoyance, "What opinion?" Let's talk about it. ”

A flash of excitement immediately flashed on the face of the loyal jackal, and he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you have pampered your mistress, there is nothing wrong with this. But with regard to the operational policy and the strategic plans to be carried out in our territory, can you please stop listening to women? ”

Count Karp's face was full of doubts: "Listen to the woman? Where have I listened to women? Joke! There is no woman in this world who dares to ask me to be obedient. Even if it's the old witch in the saline-alkali land who can't give birth to a child, she is not qualified to make me obedient! ”

In an instant, the loyal jackal hurriedly showed a look of panic, and said nervously: "Please don't say anything more about Your Excellency the Earl!" Your marriage to your wife is an important tool for you to maintain your position in the faction! Even if you really don't have any feelings for Madame anymore, you still want to visit Madame often......"

"Don't say that again. Is that all there is to you? If nothing else, I'll go. ”

The loyal jackal was anxious, and hurriedly caught up with two steps in front of Count Karp, and continued to say nervously: "Your Excellency! I've been your servant for over 20 years! Here, my old servant, I sincerely hope that you will be able to stay away from that enchantress for a while! That woman is already toying you with applause! You listen to whatever she says, and you almost turn a deaf ear to the advice of our subordinates! Since ancient times, once political things are mixed with women, they are destined to be the beginning of decline and destruction! ”

Hearing the word "enchantresm", the earl's spirit suddenly lifted. He snorted, stretched out his hand and grabbed the collar of the loyal jackal, and shouted, "Demon girl? Hum! I'm still wondering, why do I hear some gossip from time to time lately, but it turns out that you people are coming from it? Just because of these rumors of yours, my beauty's spirit is also a little unpleasant! ”

Seeing that his master, who has served for more than 20 years, is now so angry at himself because of a little kiln sister, the heart of the loyal jackal is like a knife!

He gritted his teeth, and even began to gather some tears of shame and unwillingness in the corners of his eyes, and knelt down in front of Count Karp with a thud.

"Your Excellency! Listen to these words from your subordinates! That woman has really smehered you! And this time, that woman even suggested that you directly launch an economic war against Pelican Town, Honglu Town, and Kingfisher Town! Women's participation in politics is already taboo! And what she suggests you do is ruining your reputation! Lord Earl! ”

The old servant's sudden kneeling position really startled Count Karp, and he involuntarily let go of his hand, stepped back, and fell into his chair.

Maybe it was because of the relationship that was shocked by the other party, Count Karp thought for a moment and said, "You...... What do you want to say? Why do you say this thing is not well done? I think it's a very good protection for me to maintain the sales of our Megatooth pork. ”

The loyal jackal moved his knees forward twice, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! If this kind of thing goes well, it can indeed conquer these three towns in a short period of time, and even encircle Lagoon City, and even directly annex Lagoon City in the near future! ”

"But have you ever wondered what your political position in our country will be if you do this, and if you succeed?"

"That's right! Your faction and Viscount Norris's faction are indeed hostile to each other, but over the years, under the control of your current majesty, both of you have maintained a delicate balance, and both sides have maintained a state of fighting without breaking! ”

"Right now, the front line of our Blue Bay Empire is entering a state of tension with the Hunter Empire, and foreign relations are very tense. At such a time, what His Majesty the Emperor hopes most is for the two factions in the country to temporarily put aside the factional struggle, unite with the outside world, and not create troubles for His Majesty! ”

"But at this time, Your Excellency the Earl, you take the lead in breaking this delicate balance and directly attacking Lagoon City, the faction to which Viscount Norris belongs can completely seize this point and lash out at you a lot! Once the matter develops, I am afraid that any crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country may be deducted from your head! And since you are the first to do it, even if your commander, father-in-law, boss and others really want to save you, it will take a lot of effort! So, this can really be regarded as a big unwise act of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon! ”
