Chapter 153: New Member—Berserker
"I also know that my thoughts may still be far from what you said about the troubles of ordinary people, President Arrow. But...... I haven't experienced what President Arrow calls the pain of ordinary people, so I really want to...... I really hope to be able to join the mermaid song and experience what it is like to be suffering from ordinary people. ”
"So...... Please allow me to join the merfolk song, President Arrow. ”
After saying his request, Duck's head was lowered again, as if he was looking to Ariel for affirmation.
Ariel lowered her head and looked at the guy who bowed down to her. If you think about it carefully, if you can have an extra combat power ceiling in your guild, then it will be much easier to act in the future, right?
Thinking of this, Ariel immediately showed a smiling face and said-
"Nope."
Duck looked up, but there was a look of surprise on his face: "Why? President Arrow, I'm genuinely joining the Mermaid Song! Although I may be weaker now...... But you've also seen my strength, and I won't be a burden to join the Mermaid Song! ”
The members gathered on that side are also a little unbearable now.
Coco said while drinking the noodle soup: "Sister Guild is really, let him join if he wants to join so much, why is he so rigid?" ”
Margaux smiled and said, "You don't understand this, do you?" This is the president haggling. The original guild paid guild members a commission of 20% of the total number of tasks, but only 10% for our guild is considered very low. But we should still want to press it lower, 5%? Maybe 3%? If you can really take down this berserker with such a cheap amount, it will be a lot of money! ”
Regardless of what the rest of the group thinks, Ariel will never allow Duck to join the Mermaid Song.
Because now, the situation has changed.
The next mermaid song is no longer a pure guild, but will embark on a thorny path in its own hands that does not know where it can lead.
What awaits the Mermaid Song next is not just adventure, it is a dungeon.
What will greet them next is likely to be one bloody storm after another. It was a political and economic storm, and it wasn't something that could be solved with one more guild member.
For the current members of Mermaid Song, their fate has been deeply tied to themselves.
Even if he hasn't told most of the members what he thinks now, once the incident happens, none of them will be able to escape. The royal family and the aristocracy would not heed their explanations such as "I don't know".
So, even if these members are not happy now, they are already on the ship of Ariel Garcia, and it is impossible to untie them again.
But Dack Hikari is different.
He wasn't bound to himself yet, and he didn't know what kind of boat he was going to be on. He didn't know that the future awaited him was probably not an adventure.
So, there was no need for him to wade into this troubled water. Now all he had to do was go back to his father's side, heal his wounds, and then marry the princess again......
Thinking of this, Ariel was suddenly stunned.
She looked at Duck, and her lips trembled slightly.
Dark, he was arranged, to marry the princess......
This path will be his path of glory, and it will be the greatest and brightest future in the eyes of others!
But in this case, he escaped anyway...... And, running away three times and twice, just to get rid of this fate.
Suddenly, Ariel seemed to understand why Miss Alice and Sister Natalie had persuaded her so much not to do those dangerous things.
At that time, did they persuade themselves with the same mood as they were now persuading Dark?
"Whew...... Dark, I'm afraid you still don't know what has changed in Mermaid Song now. ”
After much deliberation, Ariel decided that it would be better for him to think about it himself-
"So, I'm going to tell you my story now. I will tell you who I am now, and I will also tell you what I need to do next in accordance with the royal family's requirements. I will tell you that this mission will be far more difficult than you can imagine, as both the Magical Guild and the Holy See of Light seem to want to kill me. ”
"Finally, I want to tell you that even if I complete the task by then, it is very likely to become an after-dinner joke in the mouth of others."
"Now, are you ready? If you're ready, I'll talk to you. ”
It was time for dinner, and it passed quickly.
The members of Mermaid Song finished eating and drinking, packed their bags, and prepared to set off again overnight.
The hired men in the caravan were already in place, and the members got into the strange car and continued to drive towards the Marginal Province under the driver's hand of the cheese.
It was also during this time that Ariel picked important points about her deeds and retold them to this man.
The more he said it, the more serious the look of surprise on Dark's face became. By the time Ariel had said everything, the berserker's face was nothing but an open mouth and wide eyes.
"That's it. You want to get rid of the Royals, but in fact our Mermaid Song is doing exactly what the Royals want. However, the Association and the Holy See will come to sabotage my actions and try to thwart me. You've been with us all along, and you've seen the fact that the Holy See's paladins and the Guild's magicians have also walked with us. ”
"After three years, if I succeed, then the royal family will immediately use the law to deprive me of all the fruits of my efforts. Everything I did became a royal thing. ”
"But if I fail, then I will return to the court and obediently be the mistress of the second prince. Either way, the Mermaid Song has little chance of breaking through the control of the royal family. ”
"In this case, do you still insist on joining the mermaid song?"
With the regular shaking of the strange car, Duck lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but exhale and said slowly-
"Hand of Heaven...... It has been disbanded. ”
Originally, Ariel was waiting to hear his response. But I didn't expect him to suddenly talk about his guild?
"My father has also been interviewed several times, and the royal family has asked to buy the Heavenly Light and transform it into the royal army. He also promised my father the title of a general. ”
"So, whether I choose to run away or stay in the guild doesn't make much sense. I, like Baroness Garcia, am a tool. ”
"But ......"
Duck looked up and looked at Ariel again. There was a conviction in his eyes, a belief that almost frightened Ariel when he looked at it!
"However, I think Baroness Garcia is very lucky! You may have been born into a humble birth, but you have been lucky enough to enter the Duke's Palace, and you have been fortunate enough to learn a great deal that I may never understand. Although you say that you envy my strength, my strength is completely unable to choose any path. ”
"But you are different, Your Excellency Baroness Garcia, and your knowledge and vision allow you to see that there may be a different future waiting for us. I believe that a maid who dares to bet with the royal family will never willingly continue to work for the royal family for three years as a day worker! ”
"This time, I continue to choose to believe in you. So, would you like to let me join the mermaid song and contribute to the future you enjoy? ”
If it is resonance, Ariel suddenly feels as if she has a resonance feeling with this Duck in the same situation.
I also want to choose my own destiny, and I have also made my own efforts.
If he really thinks so...... Then in the future, he will be tied to his own boat, and I hope he can not regret it.
"In other words, are you willing to rebel against other nobles for my sake at some point in the future, even ...... Revolt against royalty? ”
As soon as these words came out, the members of the Mermaid Song around them were all stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Ariel with surprised eyes.
In order to avoid everyone's panic, Ariel continued to add-
"In order to defend our own property, so that our efforts will not be deprived again for no reason, are you willing, even in the face of the Emperor of the Blue Bay Empire, you will never back down?"
At that moment, Duck nodded vigorously and said, "Even the emperor can't deprive me of the value of my existence at will, let alone easily deprive me of my property. Baroness Garcia, I am mentally prepared and have no complaints. ”
Listening to these words, the members of Mermaid Song may only think of protecting the fruits of their labor in the next three years from being taken away by the royal family again, right? At this time, the expressions on their faces were also a little lighter.
And Ariel, who was looking at Dark, finally nodded after pondering for a moment, and said with a smile, "Welcome to the Mermaid Song, Mr. Duck Hikari Hikaritsu." ”
At this point, the firmness on Dark's face immediately turned into a smile! He tried to get up, but he was exhausted from the wound. Ariel hurriedly supported him to prevent the guy from having mental problems again due to the ruptured wound.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Baroness Garcia!"
Margaux on the side rolled his eyes: "The title is too long, re-speaking, what should it be called?" ”
Darker was slightly stunned, but quickly understood, and said with a smile: "So...... Please advise, President Ariel. ”
Ariel waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay to call me president directly when you're fine." Since you're willing to join the Merfolk Song, get some rest now, and I'll make you a nameplate when we get to Pelican Town. Tesla, yours too, the identification will be done when the time comes. ”
