Chapter 249 The Road to Hanhai City
"Well, the waitress girl who leaked the news to me said that the stranger entrusted the honey jar to transport some things from Lagoon City to the capital Hanhai City! The reason why the stranger entrusted it so was because he knew that the honey jar was opened by Viscount Norris, so he believed in his lord from the bottom of his heart! β
Hearing this, Arrow nodded lightly and said, "And then?" Who took the case? β
Cream gave a thumbs up and smiled smugly, "It's the two guys who joined the honey jar two days ago, one is called the bad guy, and the other is called the inner ghost. In addition, there is a member of the honey pot who is responsible for handling the handover, which can be regarded as the old and the new. β
Speaking of this, Cream leaned over his face, unable to suppress the excitement on his face at all: "Has the plan begun to be executed?" These two people, and this mission commission! It must have been arranged by Count Karp, right? Are we going to get moving?! β
In terms of time, this should be the case.
However, to be on the safe side, Airo asked again: "So what is Viscount Norris's reaction now?" Does he have a problem with that? β
Cream could only shake his head at this question and said: "The news didn't reveal this, and it is impossible for that waiter sister to know so many messy things." However, since they had planned this event, they probably didn't notice anything unusual. β
Arrow smiled and said, "Seeing how happy you look, I don't know that I thought our guild had received a big order." But don't underestimate Viscount Norris, since he was able to acquiesce to the release of these news to us, on the one hand, it was to provoke us, and on the other hand, I am afraid that he also wanted to lure us into robbery. β
"If this operation is sabotaged, then as soon as our Mermaid Song shows his head in the middle of the incident, he will inevitably put the on our heads. Therefore, we must make full guarantees in this operation that we will never show up easily, and it is better to leave all the problems to the two adventurers of the earl. Every effort is made to ensure that there is no direct or indirect connection between us and this matter in order to ensure the success of the program. β
Cream nodded, but then he became a little worried: "I said President, is this really okay?" Are we really going to save that poor client? Since the client will come to commission this matter, it should also be Count Karp's gang. Since it belonged to Count Karp, he should also bear a little responsibility for the death of the poor old peasant......"
Originally, Cream was still full of confidence, but when it came to the future, he himself seemed to feel that his words were a little too bastard, and his voice involuntarily became softer.
Seeing that Cream was about to shut up now, Arrow put on a serious expression and said, "Cream, what organization are we?" β
"We ...... It's an adventurer's guild. β
"What do we do on a day-to-day basis?"
"It is to accept the commission of others to solve the troubles of others without violating the laws of the Empire."
"How can I get as many of these assignments as possible?"
"It should ...... Show yourself to be peaceful, kind...... Okay, I know the president, I shouldn't use this kind of brain. I apologize. β
Seeing that the cream had now been corrected, Arrow was also silently relieved.
Although making money is important, if there is any problem in the minds of his subordinates, then it is not a question of whether to make money or not, but whether these members still have their lives.
"Since it's all decided, then you can set a time and set off as soon as possible. Napa and I are watching the affairs inside the guild, so try to do your best to make things as beautiful as possible, so that nothing goes wrong. β
Hearing Arrow's now trusting tone, Cream regained a smile on his face, nodded very seriously, and set off to find his teammates and prepare for action.
Passing away the cream, Arrow stretched slightly, closed the account book in front of him, got up, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Napa, who was lying on the cushion, raised her head and opened one eye to look at Airo here, and said slowly, "You, really relieved?" This mission is so important, you just let them handle it themselves? β
Arrow nodded and said, "All along, I have been accompanying them on their missions. Although I am a leader who has no combat ability, I can still come in handy for a lot. β
"But by all accounts, I'm a burden to be around them, and as the guild grows, they will eventually need to be able to take on this task on their own, which requires wisdom, courage, perseverance, and a little luck. I believe that they should be ready for this. β
"On the other hand, if I disappear from the guild again, it will only arouse the suspicion of the people in the honey jar. In order to alleviate Viscount Norris's doubts to the greatest extent, it is better for me to stay in the guild. In case the other party comes up with any strange tricks, I can deal with it as soon as possible. β
Napa didn't seem to have any opinion, and shook her head slightly: "Whatever you want, I don't have any opinion anyway." If something happens to them that causes your guild to dissolve soon, I'll burn the Honeypot Guild immediately, and I don't care if you're unprincipled or not. β
Hearing this, Arrow couldn't help but cry and laugh, he came to the counter, reached out and gently rubbed the hair on the back of Napa's head, and smiled: "Can you not be so violent?" At every turn, violence is used to solve problems. You can be regarded as a monster that can communicate with us humans normally, right? Trying to deal with problems in a non-violent way, following the example of us as human beings? β
"Non-violence? Forget it. β
Napa's tail flicked, and she gently slapped Arrow's hand away, yawned, and continuedβ
"Some of your 'non-violent' methods are sometimes more disgusting and more annoying than what I did directly. All in all, you'd better pray that your members do their job well enough and that there aren't any problems. You have to remember that it's May of the following year, and there's only a year and a half left until your three-year limit, and you haven't even earned five hundred gold coins. If you really can't complete the task, don't blame me for not providing you with a simpler and more convenient option. β
Speaking of this, although Arrow still maintained a smile on his face, he also involuntarily chuckled in his heart.
But things have come to this point, and no matter how difficult it is, we must continue to face it.
If an innocent life can be saved within the scope of its ability, then it can be regarded as one.
- May 4, 1302, food expenses: -3 silver, 7 copper and 8 iron, commission fee: 1 copper and 7 iron, balance: 428 gold, 9 copper and 1 ironββ
Lagoon City is one of the small border cities in the Border Province.
Whether it is in terms of population, size, status or other conditions, it is impossible to compare with the center of this province - Tianhe City.
Because of this, the city of Lagoon City is not bad, but the road conditions around the city are not much better. If you want to walk from here to the capital city of Hanhai City, it is really a trip that takes a lot of time and energy, and climbs many mountains and muddy depressions.
It's fine if it's just pedestrians walking around on their own, but if it's transporting goods, it's really not very convenient.
It is precisely because of this that after only a few days of walking, this kind of transportation work that can hardly see a person for half a day and seems very boring is full of tediousness.
Another day's running work was over, and the messengers, inner ghosts, and one of the original members of the Honeypot Guild began to camp and rest. And the client who was escorted on the same journey was now standing by the carriage without saying a word, watching the guild members of these honey jars make a meal.
The bad guy and the inner ghost seem to be very good at chatting with people, and the two of them talk to me, and sometimes they will deliberately hook up with the comrade-in-arms of the same guild. This way can be regarded as making this journey not so boring.
But......
"Hey, boss, why don't you come over and talk to us, chat, and have something to eat?"
The messenger reached out and waved at the client who was standing by the carriage.
But the shriveled and thin client was a little silent, and his eyes were white like dead fish, and he silently came over and sat down by the campfire.
The inner ghost handed over the porridge for a night, and said with a smile: "Boss, you are too silent." The boss of the client was obviously very good at talking when he made the commission, but you, the escort, refused to say a word to us along the way. Sometimes we almost forget about you as a person. β
The client remained silent, just picked up the food and put it to his mouth and ate it.
Since the client was so indifferent, the poor guy and the inner ghost glanced at each other, but they were not moved, and continued to chat.
But about forty or fifty meters away from their camp, there was another group of people who were now stationed here. It's just that compared to them, this group of people is extraordinarily low-key and extraordinarily careful.
"Do you think we'll make it?"
Cream lies behind a mound of dirt, nibbling on dehydrated bread while looking out at the campfire.
Taking advantage of the night, Brad opened the sleeping bags of the three people, laid them out in a shade and said, "It should be possible...... If we did exactly follow the president's instructions, and there were no flaws, not even accidents, it wouldn't be difficult to save the client. β
