Gold coin is justice

"Trophy?"

Brad rubbed his shoulders to make Buffy sit more comfortably, and at the same time looked a little confused.

Cream said lightly: "It's the remnants of the Iron Wolf Guild? Although those slimes have the ability to corrode many things, they will not deliberately eat some things that are really of no nutritional value. So. , You should be able to find something useful."

Cocoa was a little confused: "Can there be so much? Their clothes are all covered with Parfait's pollen scent. The slimes shouldn't leave much behind, right..."

Ai Luo is also a little worried about this, but I should look at it no matter what.

Entering the Shining Forest, Napa reluctantly radiated soft magic power to dispel the slimes that were ramming around.

Among the ten Iron Wolf members, Ai Luo really didn't believe that there was nothing left.

Facts have proved that his guess is indeed correct.

Relying on Napa's magic power, a group of people strolled around the Shining Forest without any surprises, collecting the trophies along the way.

The bones of those Iron Wolf members were indeed eaten up by the slime, and only the last bits of debris were left to prove that a dead person once lay here.

Of the eight traps released, three were finally recovered and still usable.The remaining five were either completely trampled or vandalized.Those weapons and equipment, although the metal items still remain, but most of them have been corroded, they look brittle and thin, and are not suitable for reuse.

However, some things can be reused.

That is money.

In the grass, next to the bushes, in the corners of the tree trunks, where the Iron Wolf soldiers throw away their clothes, Airo will search carefully.Fortunately, each location can always dig up a few coins that have not been corroded and seem to be usable.

Finally came to the scene where Wolfe was killed. The body of the iron wolf leader had already been eaten clean, and only a suit of iron armor, iron pants and iron boots remained there.

Airo pulled out the flame knife inserted here two days ago, slightly cut open the corroded and completely fused iron armor pocket, and took out a clinking bag from the inside.

This jingle sound is really exciting.

After some searching, the Mermaid Song Guild got a total of a flame knife, three traps, a pile of skins of killed slimes, and a total of 48 gold, 7 silver, and 7 copper.

After counting the money, Ai Luo thought for a while, and put two of the gold coins into his pocket, which was equal to the previous account.But looking at the money, the excited expression on his face only stayed for a short moment.Immediately afterwards, he was filled with a deeply confused expression.

The sky was dim, and everyone returned to the guild again after finishing all the things.

At dinner time, Brad was very happy that Cream officially joined the guild, constantly touching his fists to express his excitement.

But after all, this kind of celebration did not last long. During the entire dinner, Airo remained silent, staring at the purse in a daze. It seemed that there was not much money in it, but countless. All the troubles.

"President brother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Ai Luo never drink milk, Coco finally couldn't help but ask.

Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head.Seeing that all the members of his family looked at him, he realized that he was thinking out of his mind, and he quickly smiled: "Oh, I have nothing to do. Don't worry, continue to eat and drink."

But Buffy slowly floated to Airo's nose: "President, worry? Say! We, worry."

Ai Luo raised his head again, and looked at Buffy, Brad, Cream, and Coco one by one, before he was determined, and slowly opened his mouth—

"I know that we got a lot of money in this battle. A total of 46 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze. This money is quite a lot, and we really need it for Song of Mermaid. So in general... we should Be happy."

Brad: "Um...President, is there anything wrong with this?"

Ai Luo breathed out and said slowly: "But, I hope you can forget the money we got first. Because to be precise, this money is stolen money. And our guild cannot accept stolen money."

Although Ai Luo didn't want to do this himself, he also wanted to swallow all the money at once.In this way, before entering the winter, she has already turned losses into profits, laying a solid foundation for the next thousand gold coins goal.

But in fact, he really couldn't do this.

"I know, you are confused now. But as long as I explain to you a little bit, you will understand."

Ai Luo paused, let his thoughts sort out a bit, and said--

"Every guild has been registered in the empire. Just like our mermaid song, and like the iron wolf, we have all registered guilds. Broadly speaking, every guild registered in the empire must accept the management of the empire. Ensure that the right tasks are carried out in the right area."

"Fundamentally speaking, the laws of the empire prohibit private fights between guilds, not to mention such things as the victorious guild occupying the wealth of the losing guild."

"If you think about it carefully, if two guilds can attack each other anytime and anywhere, then as long as the time is long, those strong guilds can easily eliminate them from the adventurer guild by defeating other small guilds. ."

"In this way, no one will register for a new guild. The result is that when you want to entrust the guild to do something, pick and choose. I am afraid that there will only be one or two or three giant guilds to choose from."

"Then think about it, if our Mermaid Song Guild is the most powerful guild in the entire Blue Bay Empire, and others must entrust our guild to handle things if they want to do things, how should we charge?"

Brad is very upright: "How to charge? Isn't it the normal charge?"

After listening to Ai Luo's fairy language translation, Buffy thought for a while, and said: "More... more expensive?"

Airo nodded: "Yes, at that time our guild will enter a state called'monopoly'. We have a monopoly on the adventurer guild's market. Then we say how much it costs to complete a task, others will How much money must be given to us. And after paying the money, we don’t have to guarantee the quality of service. Because our guild is the only one, even if you are not satisfied, you still have to come to us next time. And after we monopolize the economy, we will It has an impact on prices, and thus affects the economy of the entire Blue Bay Empire. At least it will make the empire reduce taxes, and at the same time, it will make the empire fear the power of our guild and begin to make up his mind to destroy us."

After listening, Brad couldn't help taking a breath.

"Therefore, in order to prevent the guilds of adventurers from annexing each other, private fights and killings between each other are strictly forbidden. Let alone the embezzlement of other guilds' property. These are circumstances not permitted by law."

"Then that's the end of the story. If a guild suddenly perishes due to something, or it can't continue to operate and cancels it, what will it do?"

"The state will collect the remaining assets of this guild and distribute it to the family of the guild manager. If the guild manager has no family and no other suitable person, it will be returned to the national treasury."

"In other words, the rightful owner of these forty gold coins in our hands should be the Blue Bay Empire, which is the property of the royal family. We occupy these properties now, which is equivalent to illegally occupying the gold coins of the royal family of our country. I believe I don’t need to explain more. , You should also know what it means to occupy the royal family's property?"

For people like Coco, Brad, Buffy, and Cream, they were either born into a family of ordinary farmers or punks in the streets and alleys, or just a non-human race who didn't understand what the human emperor represented.

Now that they suddenly understand what a huge bomb the money in their hands represents, I am afraid they will not be able to understand it immediately.

However, the excuse of "getting into the royal family" can immediately make them understand what it means.

Brad was the first to react violently. He shrank his neck, and even held the tabletop with a little trembling with his hands. He said nervously: "Will...President! Royal family? So, we are now grabbing the royal family. … Money? When I was young, my parents… told me that the emperor’s people use gold hoes even when they work in the ground! They are always rich! There are so many… ...So many officials, they are amazing! We...what should we do now? Are we going to return all the money back? Oh! Yes... by the way! If... if the emperor really If you want to catch people...President! Are you smart, can you tell them not to catch...Don't catch Parfie? It's all me...I helped pick up the money, and Parfie can't get a single coin! She is innocent!"

Although this stupid man is a little stupid, he is really cute.

Ai Luo said with a smile: "Don't worry, just as you said, the emperor's house uses golden hoes for work. They haven't fallen to the point where they come to us for such a forty gold coins. Protect your Parfait with peace of mind."

What Brad and Ello said were a bit complicated. Buffy pricked up her ears and listened very hard, but she didn't understand much when she looked at her confused expression.Seeing this, Ai Luo just smiled at her, no longer explaining anything.

"According to you, do you plan to keep this money without it?"

Cream took a sip from the cup, a little doubtful color in his eyes.The more I came into contact with this guild leader, the more mysterious he became.
