Gold coin is justice

Chapter 6 Trouble in Pelican Town

After a breakfast, Brad put Buffy in his pocket and happily followed Aylor out of the guild gate.

Ai Luo took a few steps and turned around, only to see the cat drifting over again.

Napa glanced at Ai Luo and said, "According to your 8 copper coins and 1 silver coin, God knows when you can expand the guild. I will follow you to see if I can help. Promote, one more. The cat has one more hand."

Ai Luo thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

In terms of propaganda, it is indeed easier to get a lot of people.Besides, without mentioning the character, the appearance of this cat is pretty pleasing.Keeping monsters by your side can also enhance your guild’s reputation for being able to crush monsters.

The group walked straight to the only item shop in Pelican Town and bought 100 sheets of paper and paste for 4 copper coins after bargaining.

Afterwards, Airo took everyone to the market in Pelican Town.

Today is not the day when the market opens, so there are few people in the market.Airo asked Brad to spread out the paper, and after thinking about it, he wrote a lot of—

"Mermaid Song Guild!"Professionally solve all kinds of troubles!

"Okay, post these. You write all the 100 sheets of paper according to what I wrote, and post 50 sheets in the market. We will take the others and post them in other parts of the town."

Buffy hesitated for a while holding the pen, but he still wrote the same content on the paper according to Airo's handwriting.Brad picked up the paper, as long as he saw a suitable wall on it, it was a sheet.It didn't take a while to put one on every wall of this small bazaar.

After posting, Ai Luo walked in front and continued to post everywhere.Pelican Town is not too big, and the ads are almost finished in about a morning.

"carry out!"

Airo clapped his hands and looked a little happy at the advertisements all over the street.The next job is to say hello to other shop owners in the town. I'm afraid this job is not suitable for Brad and Buffy. It's better to go by yourself.

"Are you sure, can you really promote it?"

Napa looked at the big white paper advertisements on this street. The slogans on these papers were straightforward, simple, and not refined in any way.Moreover, these papers do not match the style of the whole street at all, which looks a bit offensive.

"You also said that you graduated from Lao Tengshu, and the students who graduated from Lao Tengshu are so literary? Can't you write your advertisements better? You can't paint, just use more colors."

Faced with Napa’s complaint, Ai Luo smiled and said, “Now our guild is in the propaganda stage. Since it is propaganda, the most important thing is to make people remember us. Compared with the so-called exquisite advertisements, This kind of straightforward publicity is more effective."

Napa: "Are you sure?"

Ai Luo nodded his head and smiled: "Because our human brains are very slow, most of us are not good at thinking about too complicated things, so the simpler things are presented to us humans. The easier it is for us to remember. It's like I can easily remember that one plus one equals two, but I can't understand the content of those high-level magic books in the magic department. Therefore, the simpler the advertisement , The easier it is for people to remember."

Napa was still a little unconvinced: "Even if it's easy to remember, wouldn't it be offensive for you to post it like this?"

"Disgusted? Of course it will."

Airo's performance made Napa frown again.

"At this stage, instead of considering both popularity and goodwill at the same time, our guild should simply expand its popularity and disregard goodwill to make it more convenient."

Napa: "Why?"

"Because we don't have peer competition yet." Ai Luo said with a smile, "In the absence of competition in the same industry, we should properly consider favorability and try our best to broaden the popularity. In this way, once the townspeople have any commissions, they can only find Our guild. And once a few tasks are successfully completed, the previous notoriety can naturally become favorability."

Napa: "...Is this what your economics taught you?"

Ai Luo smiled bitterly: "I said it earlier, economics has never taught me how to make money. This is my biggest regret after studying economics. It just tells me the habitual thinking mode of our ordinary humans."

While talking, Airo led Brad to move on, preparing to post the last few ads.

Brad just followed, but he felt that Parfie in his arms pulled gently. He looked down at Parfie, and saw the flower fairy flew out of his pocket and came to Napa's side: "(Fairy language) Deputy Chairman, what did you quarrel with the chairman just now? I don’t understand."

Napa snorted and spoke briefly in fairy language.

Brad: "Um...I don't understand. Does this mean that the chairman is very powerful?"

Napa arched her two forelimbs and said suspiciously: "I don't know... it's not my self-confidence that beats you. I doubt whether your president's education is true. He said he graduated from Lao Tengshu, but what about me? It seems that he does not seem to be a graduate from that university. And he keeps saying that economics hasn't taught him how to make money. He is said to be economics. Why doesn't economics teach people how to make money? How contradictory."

Brad and Buffy glanced at each other, and then asked together: "Old Tengshu? What is that?"

"...Forget it, when I talk to myself."

Just as Airo directed the last few pieces of advertising paper, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the street.

Ai Luo turned his head and saw a pudgy town citizen with a pitchfork in his hand, about fifty years old with a big beard on his face, rushing over there.Seeing this fat man, Ai Luo first waved and smiled: "Oh! Boss, good noon!"

The boss immediately rushed over after seeing Ai Luo, and shouted angrily: "Brother blond? Have you seen a thief?! There is a thief! I was stolen! Did you see any strange people appearing? ?!"

Maybe it was really anxious. The boss didn't notice Brad and Napa beside Airo until after the roar, and Buffy quickly got into Brad's pocket.

"amount?"

Obviously, Brad and Napa are in line with what the boss calls "weird people".

Upon seeing this, Ai Luo quickly introduced with a smile: "Brad, Napa, this is the man who sold my house and the mayor of this Pelican Town-Mr. Welsh Round Cheese. Boss, This is a member of our guild, newly recruited recently. I can absolutely guarantee their character."

Round Cheese looked up and down Brad and Napa, looking suspicious.Seeing this, Ai Luo took the initiative again and said: "Boss, you just said you were robbed? What's the matter? If there is a need, our Mermaid Song Guild will serve you wholeheartedly! You only need to spend a small amount of money. Solve the current troubles!"

Finally, the Mayor of Round Cheese looked at Airo and said, "I heard that Mai Yi said that you helped them kill the slimes? Are you sure those slimes don't look like humans?"

Ai Luo's heart tightened slightly, but the smile on his face remained: "What do you say?"

The mayor adjusted his breathing, and the breath from his nose made his two beards shake up and down: "Last night, I went to the Unicorn Bar for a drink and listened to that guy Mai Yi said that you killed the slime! I thought that the monster that was harassing our town recently was a slime. I thought it would be fine now, and I can sleep a lot in the future! But I didn’t expect that the cheese pie I just made this morning I planned to take out today. It’s sold, but I just carelessly saw a shadow grabbing my pie on the windowsill and running away!"

The thief incident?

A cheese pie is not worth much, but if it is a recidivist, the bounty may be higher.Now that Airo has Brad and Buffy as bodyguards, he doesn't have to worry too much about his personal safety when facing thieves.

Ai Luo put on a very serious expression and listened very sincerely to the mayor's description of the difficulty of the task.When he was almost done, Ai Luo nodded, put on a smile again, and said, "Boss, I understand the matter. And well... I also have a little idea about this monster."

Round Cheese immediately raised the pitchfork in his hand: "Where is he?! I want to kill that bastard!"

Ai Luo laughed, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, boss. Do you have experience with monsters? Do you know the identity of the other party? Do you know what methods are needed to face this kind of thieves?... …Hehe, leave the professional things to professional people to do, you just wait in your bakery, making bread and cakes and waiting for us to complete the task.

With these words from Airo, a happy smile appeared on Round Cheese's face.He closed the drafting fork and looked at the trust in Airo's back.

"Then, let's talk about the commission fee now."

"What? Money?"

Money is really a great way to manipulate facial expressions.

Ai Luo deliberately coughed and said with a smile: "Boss, you also run a bakery. You should also know that our guild is also a business place. If you have a task, we will complete the task. You save worry and effort at the same time. It takes a small amount of money to wipe out those troubles! I think this is a very good deal."

Round Cheese looked at Ai Luo, that chubby face seemed to wonder if Ai Luo was fooling him anytime and anywhere.After hesitating for a while, he still spoke: "Are you sure you know what that thief is? I tell you, even I just saw a shadow."

Ai Luo did not speak, but smiled back.

"Okay! Blond brother, how much is it?"

Airo shrugged: "How much damage has this thief caused so far?"

Round Cheese's eyes turned grunting and said, "These days, I have stolen a lot of pies from me, some herbs from the item shop, and some pots and bowls from the iron shop, but the most stolen ones are Food. Add up to at least one silver coin."

Airo is also not welcome, and patted his hands and said, "In this case, the commission fee is a gold coin. I think the price should not be expensive?"

"A gold coin?!"

Round Cheese's eyeballs almost came out of that chubby head.

This price is not only the mayor, but Napa and Brad are all taken aback!

"Brother Blond, are you kidding me? A gold coin? I earn four or five gold coins in a year, so you want me a gold coin?!"

Ai Luo continued to maintain that smiling expression: "The other party is a thief, this is not comparable to a slime who has no wisdom. We are taking risks with our lives. Boss, if you don't catch it as soon as possible This guy's words may lose more than one gold coin! When the loss expands, you come to me again, won't your loss expand even more?"

Even if Ai Luo said that the sky is falling, the price is still too expensive.

The Mayor of Round Cheese didn't think much about it at all. He looked at Ai Luo with a very guarded look, and raised the pitchfork in his hand: "You want money crazy? A gold coin? Our town asks people to take this The thief can't use that much money when caught! Besides, I didn't know what adventurer's guild at first, is it necessary to spend a gold coin for your help?

After finishing speaking, the mayor did not look back, and left with a pitchfork.Ai Luo was also very hearted, waved goodbye behind him, his face didn't have the frustrated feeling after a business talk collapsed.

When the mayor disappeared from sight, Airo took his hand back and turned his head.

"Hey, did the first task only earn less than 5 copper coins, so you started to go crazy? You want a gold coin in one go?"

Napa's questioning is quite representative, and Brad is now looking at Airo with a confused expression.

Airo still smiled, greeted Brad and Buffy to continue posting all the remaining ads, and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, I didn't want to take this task at all. At least, not now. ."

Looking at the sky, Ai Luo rubbed his hands and continued--

"I originally thought that the monster in the town was a slime, but now it seems that a thief appeared in Pelican Town earlier than the slime. Let's go back to rest and wait until night to come out to see."

Brad rubbed the back of his head: "Um...President, why come out to see you at night?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "Since the mayor is so angry, I can imagine that he will never allow the thief to continue to run. The townspeople in Pelican Town may take action tonight, take a good rest, and we will be together tonight. action."
