Chapter 52: The Need for Thorough Preparation

"What is this?" Cream looked puzzled.

Arrow said generously, "Just open it and see." ”

Cream opened the box with a suspicious face, and looked at the black magic crystal ring inside, and couldn't help but look at it.

But before he could say anything, Arrow spoke first, "The ring you gave still belongs to the guild, but after the guild enchants this ring, it can decide to give it to those in need. Now, this 'Shadow Ring' is yours for the time being. Once a day, you can use it to dive into the shadows for three seconds. ”

Cream didn't seem to understand for a moment, just holding the ring and staring at Arrow blankly.

Napa, who was over there, thought that the little thief didn't trust his work, and said angrily, "Didn't you hear clearly? I've helped you refine this ring of yours into the Shadow Ring! The power of this magic crystal is very weak, bargain, and there is no way, so it can only be used for 3 seconds once a day in the dark infiltration, which is already considered the limit. Do you not understand the language of the Terrans or do you have a problem with your brain? Still suspecting what? It's really troublesome, remember to thank your family president, this is still his idea. ”

Perhaps, Cream didn't realize what it meant at first.

He just stared blankly at the ring in his palm that contained his endless thoughts and heartaches.

Looking at it, everything in the past will come back to his mind again, and those beautiful, ugly, clean, and dirty memories of the past will fill his memories in that instant...... All the way to the end......

All that remained, the smile of a maid bloomed before his eyes.

Tears inadvertently rolled down from the corners of his eyes again.

He quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and carefully placed the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Looking at the ring on his finger, the tenderness in his heart made his mind suddenly open up like the experience of countless courages! This feeling that he had never felt before only felt a boost of confidence, and as long as he accompanied this ring, it seemed that he could go anywhere! It's like he once promised that girl, go to a place where birds sing and flowers, and stay with him forever.

Cream nodded, her mind coming back to her senses from her memories. He silently closed his eyes and felt the power on the ring, then slammed his fist.

In an instant, his figure disappeared from everyone's eyes. At this moment, even Coco on the side was dumbfounded.

Three seconds later, Cream's figure reappeared. His eyes were fixed on the ring, then he raised his head, quickly walked up to Arrow, and bowed deeply to him—

"President, I'...... I don't know what to say. But from now on, as long as the Mermaid Song Guild has any work, any danger, even if it goes to the soup and fire, to the heavens and the earth! I will give this life to the guild, and I will never regret it! ”

Airo's eyes lit up and he quickly turned his head to look at Napa over there: "(Mermaid Language) Will you sign a contract?" The kind of contract that you can never go back on once you sign it? This kind of opportunity to sign a lifelong contract with an employee and the other party can never be promoted and raised! ”

Napa glanced at him, wondering if there was such a contract, this cat wouldn't have it? Or did it simply ignore Arrow's greedy thoughts, and just tilted its head and lay on its stomach.

While Cream was looking at her ring with great interest, Coco was a little nervous. She quietly hid beside Arrow and whispered, "Brother President, this ...... Cream Brother He ...... After having this ring, I will take a shower in the future...... Isn't it...... He...... That ......"

Arrow also thought of this situation in advance, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry too much. We're a family of the guild. By the way, Cream, everything in this world has an expiration date, and the same goes for your ring. You know that the power of the magic crystal on it is too weak, so after each use, the power in this ring will decrease a little accordingly. Maybe it will crack after a few times, and then it will be useless. ”

Cream was still feeling sad about the ring just now, but now when she heard this, she coldly covered the ring with her hand and exclaimed in horror, "Then you didn't say it earlier?!" I just used it once for no sense! How many times will it crack after using it? ”

Arrow spread his hands: "I really don't know. For example, if you use it once a day, maybe it will break if you use it about 10 times. But if you only use it once every two or three days, the magic crystal will be well rested, and maybe it can be used more than fifteen times. ”

Despite what Arrow said, Cream still had a pain on his face. He clutched the ring tightly and sighed, deeply regretting what he had been so happy for.

Setting out Coco and Cream, Arrow's eyes tilted slightly, only to see Brad over there getting up and looking ready to clean up dinner.

Hey, it looks like this stupid big guy didn't think he'd buy him anything.

However, his own warrior had no heart or lungs, and the flower fairy came out to stand up for his partner.

Parfay saw that Coco and Cream both had something, and after waiting for a while, seeing that the president of his house did not plan to equip Brad, he couldn't help but get angry, and immediately flew in front of Arrow: "President! President! I, we! We! ”

Brad saw Parfay fly out and was a little confused. He held the plate he had finished eating with both hands and said, "Parfay? What's wrong? ”

"Silly! A sucker! Idiot! Something, you, work hard! And, fighting, wounded! Gift! Gift! They (pointing to cocoa and cream)! ”

Brad scratched the back of his head, smirked twice and said, "The president has given me a lot of things." You see, my armor, my shield, and my hammer are all given by the Lord. I'm already satisfied. Come back, let's go wash the dishes, I'll sing to you, although I may not sing well, hehe. ”

Not to mention Parfay, Arrow is starting to feel a little sorry for his own warrior. Isn't there a saying? If a person is calculating all day long and is intriguing with all kinds of people, then once you meet someone who doesn't need to be calculated at all, you will suddenly feel that you want to be nice to that person, right?

Seeing that Parfay's cheeks were bulging, two small fists were raised and fell, but they looked helpless. Arrow finally decided to get his things out as soon as possible.

"(Elf) Come, here's for you."

Parfay turned around and saw that Arrow was holding a very small women's handbag, but this small bag was so small that it was only the size of a coin.

"This is for you, I made it myself, I hope you don't dislike my handiwork. To be honest, I'm pretty confident. ”

Parfay paused for a moment, flew over to pick up the small handbag, and carried it diagonally. If you look closely, this petal-shaped handbag matches her leaf clothes quite well.

The flower fairy's face immediately showed joy, but the next moment she immediately remembered something, immediately put the handbag back in Arrow's hand, and continued to say angrily: "(Fairy language) Brad doesn't have it, I don't want it." They're both Shadow Rings and Fire Wands, and the two of us just have one handbag? We're not that easy to get by. ”

Arrow smiled, shoved the bag into Parfay's arms again, and smiled, "You can take it." I've got some stuff for your partner as well. And this handbag, you usually help buy things to pay the bills, or you can store pollen in it in advance. Although you can cast a large amount of pollen and scent in a split second in the previous battles, in general...... There's still a sense of gradual increase, not that explosive. Moreover, the second time you face Wolfe, you won't have enough pollen and scent. This bag can help you achieve this strategic effect, and you can also store some in advance so that you can release a lot of pollen and scent twice as you fight. ”

As he spoke, Arrow walked behind the counter, and after tinkering for a while, he took out a large box that looked quite heavy and placed it on the counter: "Brad, here is what I gave you, put it on?" ”

Brad put down the dishes in his hand, wiped his hand slightly on his clothes, and walked over. Looking inside the box, he immediately pulled out a pair of sturdy gloves from inside, and at Arrow's motion, he put them on, looking just right!

In addition to the gloves, Brad pulled out a pair of pants and a pair of shoes. Finally, there's the re-stitched slime leather armor, which looks like a match.

"President, what is this?"

Dressed comfortably, Brad's face was full of excitement.

Arrow smiled and said, "You're right, remember the slime we brought back with Black Money?" I'm going to make these gloves, boots and pants just made for you. ”

The president poured himself a glass of milk and said as he drank it, "Remember when you were in the mine, and your hands were numb from the power of the corpse eater? It's true that you're not as strong as a corpse eater, but the difference is too obvious. I thought about it, and during this time when you're trying to improve your strength, equipment is still very important. A sturdy pair of gloves can help you better grip your shield, as well as help you absorb shock and maintain your body's stability. ”

"Similarly, when facing Merlin in the Shining Forest, a fire blast can make you unsteady on your feet. Looking at the shoes you wore before, the cloth shoes are indeed rotten enough, so let's just give you a new set. ”

"Pants too, as a fighter, stumbling and crawling is probably commonplace, so you'll need a sturdy pair of pants to protect your legs. Our front line's ability to move is weakened, and it can be fatal to the rest of the team. ”

With this explanation from Arrow, Brad was so excited that he was like a child! He raised his hands in the air and kept circling in front of Parfay, revealing the set of equipment on his body. And Brad was happy, and Parfay was naturally happy. It was only then that the flower fairy sat on Brad's shoulder, looking happily at the handbag he had got, looking very satisfied.

Seeing that these members were all satisfied, Arrow was also very happy.

With such a pleasure, the pain in the flesh when so much money has been spent should be able to be suppressed a little.

Speaking of which, he actually wanted to make a helmet for Brad, after all, the head is the most important organ to protect.

But for Budding, the tailor boss of Pelican Town, what he is best at in his life is only making clothes and pants, gloves and shoes are okay, but helmets are completely new. Moreover, a leather helmet may not have much defense power on the head, and it will also affect hearing. If you don't do it well, it may also affect your eyesight, but after thinking about it, Arrow decided to give up and try it again when she has the opportunity to do it later.

"Well, since everyone is very happy, I hope that you will work harder to contribute to our mermaid song in the future. If it's okay, we'll go to class after dinner. Cream, do you know how to read and write? ”

Cream was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said, "After learning a little, the basic mission announcement can at least be understood." ”

Arrow didn't care, either: "So-so, then you can just come to class too." The cultural level of our guild is a tough problem right now, and this must be improved as soon as possible. ”

Eloken taught, and Cream naturally would not object.

After the guild had eaten and washed the dishes, Arrow had diligently taught the fellows a lesson, and the busy day was over.
