Arrow nodded, looking up and down at the grainy row.

His headscarf, clothes, and trousers were indeed torn in many places, but this tear did not seem to be caused by years of desolation, but more like wear and tear from the hurry.

And although dirty, the material of his clothes is not ordinary. The texture of the silk, the fine workmanship, especially the embroidery on his cuffs, is obviously not a beautiful style that a country tailor like the boss of Budian can embroider.

The most important thing is that this lute of his......

"Jean, beautiful!"

As a flower fairy, Parfay was a little interested when she saw the flower pattern engraved on this lute, and flew to the front of the piano with many grains, and reached out to touch it.

Although Gu Liduo did not directly show refusal, his brows were obviously furrowed: "Ah! Be careful, when you touch it...... Please be careful......"

This simple sentence was heard by Parfay after thinking for about ten seconds. Instead of touching the strings, her outstretched hand said, "What's wrong?" Stingy? Not allowed? ”

Gu Li smiled embarrassedly, pulled the lute back slightly, and said, "It's not that I'm stingy and don't allow others to touch it." Well...... So be it, get out of the way a little and be careful. ”

The bard stood up with the lute in his arms and came to the center of the guild hall. As he picked up the piano, his fingers plucked the strings a few times, and only a soft click was heard, but the first part of the piano suddenly popped out, and he grabbed the ejection handle and pulled it.

A slender, short sword about the length of an adult's forearm was held in his hand.

Under the candlelight of the guild, the blade of the sword was like ice, and the flickering was moving. The slender and long blade was obviously not suitable for any slashing effect, and could only be suitable for some piercing attacks.

And what is especially surprising is that after this sword was drawn, the lute in his hand actually began to play automatically, emitting an extremely fast and inspiring battle song?! Listening to people's blood rushing, it seems that they have infinite courage anytime and anywhere!

Gu Liduo pinched the slender short sword in his hand and slashed it in mid-air with great ease. The solitary light that pulled out made Arrow confirm at a glance that this weapon was definitely better than the rest of his own family combined.

After about five minutes, the lute piece ends automatically. The bard, too, reinserted his slender sword into the bow and began to stir the strings to begin to align with the notes. After a few toggles, he returned to the table satisfied.

Quack chirp –

The first to start clapping was Arrow.

Seeing that Arrow began to applaud, the guild members on the side also clapped their hands.

"I really didn't expect that you were also a swordsman?"

In the face of Arrow's surprise, Gu Liduo shook his head and said, "In such a chaotic era of war, it is really a last resort. But I like to play music more than to swing my sword and kill. ”

Cream tilted her head and smiled as she sipped her tea, "Hey, musician." When you draw your sword, the piano will play automatically? Do you have a music box in here? ”

Gu Liduo smiled: "Indeed, it's not too complicated, this gentleman can see through it at a glance." I prefer to fight with the help of music, so I modified this lute myself, and once I pulled out the sword, it activated the music box inside. With this tune, I think I'm okay with the fight. ”

Brad: "Lots of grains, lots of grains!" So what's next for you? Are you still thinking about going to other countries? ”

Gu Liduo picked up the food again and took two bites, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, anyway, I'll wait for the army to arrive, and then I'll talk." If I can go abroad, I'll leave. ”

Hearing this, Brad hurriedly stepped forward and hooked Gu Liduo's shoulder, and said excitedly: "Since this is the case, then you can simply stay and join our guild!" ”

Gu Liduo was stunned: "Join your guild?" ”

Brad nodded vigorously, turned to Arrow and said, "President, do you think it's okay?" Don't you often say that our guild is short of manpower? Grains look very strong! ”

Arrow's brow furrowed slightly, a little dissatisfied with the big man's ability to expose the guild's hole cards so easily. Even if there is a shortage of people, how can you tell your potential recruits, "I need you very much, please join our guild as soon as possible"?

But this dissatisfaction was only for a moment, and then he turned into a smile and said, "You want to join our guild...... Mr. Grains, I will not force anyone, the members of our guild join on a voluntary basis. What about your opinion? Although we are now slowly becoming more prepared, everything is moving towards normalcy. ”

Gu Li thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "If President Arrow doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to join your guild and do my part." ”

Arrow smiled, the expression on his face very indifferent.

On the other side, Brad had already hooked Gu Liduo's shoulders with excitement and yelled happily.

Coco and Cream on the side just smiled and raised their glasses to the new member.

After accepting the welcome from all the members, Gu Liduo looked at Arrow with a sincere face and raised the cup in his hand: "Thank you, President Arrow, for your appreciation." This cup is my respect for you. ”

Arrow also raised his glass and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, we will all be comrades in the same guild in the future." I explained in advance that in my guild, I would eat bread and live in it, and I would like to choose a room on the second floor, but I need to clean it myself. If there is a lack of furniture and other things, go to other empty rooms to find out if there is a substitute, there is really no I do not subsidize here, if necessary, it will be purchased in the future. On top of that, our guild has a simple school, and every night I or the vice-president (pointing to the sleeping cat over there) will teach us the basics of words, math, and so on. You can also come and learn if you need to. ”

Gu Liduo smiled: "Thank you, President, I still know how to read and write." By the way, President, in fact, after joining the Mermaid Song, I want to know more about the President. Well...... Judging by the president's physique, the president should not be a warrior. Is that a speed-type stalker? ”

For this question, Arrow paused, and the cream next to him smiled, picked up a piece of bread, took a bite and said, "What kind of stalker, the president can't steal, can't steal, can't even hold a sword." ”

Gu Liduo was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Oh! So the president is a martial artist? Using the power of your fists and feet to start this guild? That's pretty impressive! I'm sorry, but the president is relatively short and his clothes are loose, so I didn't see such a powerful explosive power hidden in this small size! How do you exercise? How about a time for us to compare our muscles? ”

Arrow's face was full of embarrassment, after all, when recruiting members in the past, these guys were all tamed by themselves before joining, and they didn't care about these issues. But this grain asks more questions...... Exactly what a new member is most interested in.

But before Iroult could figure out how to answer, Brad over there said "enthusiastically": "No, no, we don't know how to fight." His strength is small, sometimes as small as a girl, hahaha. ”

I want you to talk a lot!

Arrow glared at Brad, thinking quickly about how to get out of his current embarrassment. At the very least, this member must not be allowed to look down on himself as the president!

"So...... Sorcerer? Gu Liduo's eyes were full of respect, "I heard Brad say before, President You've graduated from Old Tengshu Academy, is it possible...... You graduated from the Department of Magic at Old Tengshu Academy? That's pretty impressive! ”

Brad was still laughing and was about to speak, but Arrow immediately reached out and slammed his palm hard.

The big man was a little pained, and turned to look at his president with a suspicious expression.

But before Arrow wanted to say something, Coco on the other side said directly: "No, no, Brother Guild is not a magician." The elder brother graduated from the economics department of the old Tengshu Academy, and he can't fight or magic. However, in my eyes, the president is the most powerful one! The president knows a lot of things that we don't know, and he will teach us a lot, so in my eyes, the elder brother is the most powerful! ”

Previously, Arrow had told his guild members that he wanted them to live like family.

But now, he's starting to regret that definition.

Be! That's right! After these guys joined the Mermaid Song, they also knew that their own president's strength was a weak chicken, and they also knew that any of them could beat their own president to the ground at any time if they really wanted to!

But they respect themselves so much now, precisely because in their hearts, they have absolute respect and status as the president.

It's not from strength, it's from affection.

That's why they call themselves presidents, and they feel scared when they get angry with an ordinary person who has no power at all.

But what does it mean to let a recent member know that his president is a scumbag who can fall down at a touch without fully establishing emotional respect?

It means the absence of status, it means ineffective control! Especially when people just joined, they directly dug out their hearts and completely put out the weakest side of their guild president......

There are a lot of grains, and it takes a lot of effort to bring them well.

While Eero was thinking about this, Gu Liduo looked at Eero's expression and looked unpredictable.

Arrow knew what he was thinking, but he couldn't help it now. After coughing slightly, the Mermaid Song Leader smiled and said, "From now on, we will be members of one guild." Wake up early tomorrow, I'm going to give you a task. So today...... Well, tonight's class is not over, everyone have a good rest, that's all, let's disperse. ”

Everyone didn't know how to make their own president unhappy, and they looked at each other, a little at a loss.

After Arrow left to go up to the second floor, he smiled a little more, and got up to pick up his dishes—

"That'...... Shall we clean up? ”
