Gold coin is justice

Along the road out of Pelican Town, you can see three people standing on the side of the road from a distance.

One of them is cream. He is different from the time he met three days ago. He is wearing a more sophisticated leather suit. He even has a turban on his forehead. If you look closely, you can see that there is a piece of iron in the turban. The film is used to protect the forehead.However, the two daggers on his waist remained unchanged, and the scabbard felt heavy.

For the other two, Airo just saw at a glance that these two and Cream were not the same.

Not to mention the equipment on their bodies compared with the two members of their own, even if compared with cream, it is obviously much better.Full-armed chain mail with a layer of cowhide armor.Wearing a helmet on his head, and a bag pinned to his waist is filled with various potions, he looks like an experienced adventurer!

However, judging from the meticulously carved but meaningless lines on the equipment and the spotlessly clean armor that can illuminate the face, it should be a big city person who has been educated in adventure and knows some preparations, but does not have much experience. .

"The weather is nice today, it's a good day for climbing!"

Ai Luo first greeted him, and he speeded up his steps towards the cream three people, especially saluting the two tightly packed people gracefully, saying--

"The president of the Mermaid Song Guild, Airo Garcia, is here to serve you. These are my two guild members, the Warrior Brad. And the Necromancer Coco."

The city man who was slightly taller among the two looked at Airo up and down, and glanced at the cream impatiently: "Never mind this soldier. It looks like the fifth and third is pretty good. Why didn't you tell me that there is still The little girl mage participates in this mission?"

Coco was stunned, and his hand holding the broken tree branch trembled.

Cream was accompanied by a smile, and said: "Small place, small guild, there are really no talents, you can only do it, do it."

The slightly shorter city man frowned and said, "Will it? I wonder if women shouldn't do these vulgar jobs? Women should be exquisite and cultivated, and they should stay at home with peace of mind. Rather than join some guild. , Take any risks. I can't even imagine the appearance of women fighting. If our country becomes a country that needs women to be on the battlefield, what will other countries think of us? How should we think of ourselves?"

Cream continued to laugh, but soon turned his face to stare at Ai Luo fiercely, and the expression of dissatisfaction did not need to be said.

Ai Luo is also smiling, but before he can speak, Coco behind can't help but say: "What's wrong with girls? Girls can also fight! Girls can also do a lot of things that you men can do!"

"Cocoa! Go back."

Ai Luo immediately scolded his necromancer and stepped forward to laugh with him: "Sorry, our small guild in the countryside is not very polite. But please trust our business standards. We will definitely complete the mission this time. of!"

The two people in the city looked at each other and frowned, obviously still a little dissatisfied, but there was no good way at the moment.

Now that they agreed, the group of people also finished adjusting their equipment and began to walk towards the Everest Mountain Range.The Mermaid Song Guild walked in front, and the three of Cream walked behind.

But even after a long distance, Aylor could still vaguely hear the muttering of the two people in the city.

"How can girls be as good as men? Girls should play dolls at home. When they grow up, they only need to find a good family to marry. What kind of work do we do? I think we were pitted this time."

"Forget it, just calm down. This kind of border town has no culture, and I don't know how to treat ladies. I think men can do women as well? I think that's the case with this guild. Investigate earlier. Go back when you are finished."

Ai Luo heard it very clearly. He turned his head away and saw Cocoa who was holding a small branch next to him, with a stubborn but incapable face. He couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand to hold her hand.

"Chairman brother...Do you... also think that I... can't do anything? But... I can definitely do it... Me and Xiao Bai can definitely exert their combat effectiveness!"

"Well, I believe it."

Ai Luo took her hand all the way, the smile on her face was full of sincerity——

"Girls are no worse than boys. Let those in the city see how good our cocoa is this time!"

"Ok!"

With Ai Luo's persuasion, the suffocation on Coco's face finally relaxed.

————

The Everrest Mountain is located to the northeast of Pelican Town. Although it can be seen from a distance, it still takes a while to go up.

The corner of this mountain is connected to the Shining Forest, but it is a little further away than the Shining Forest.

During this period of time in Pelican Town, Airo also stopped by when there was no mission to contact the feelings of the residents of the town, and on the other hand, he was also collecting information on the Everest Mountain Range.

This mountain was an active volcano a long time ago, but it has not erupted for thousands of years, and it should have become an extinct volcano.

On the other side of the Eversom Mountains is the area called the "Abyss Land". There is no country in the abyss and there are no rich products.The mountains are barren, and animals and plants are also very scarce. From a distance, there is only a hill of bare rocks.Although there have been people who wanted to investigate, each time the person who went to investigate was either missing, or that it was easy to get lost inside, there was really nothing.

The name Chang Mian also comes from this.

It is precisely for this reason that the Everlasting Mountain Range has become the border border of the Blue Bay Empire in the northwest.But because there is no other country on the other side of the border, there is no need to station troops here.

In the past, the Eversom Mountains seemed to have produced some iron ore, and Pelican Town and the surrounding small towns were also established for this reason.But as time goes by, iron ore is gradually being mined, and the former prosperity is gradually declining.Even Pelican Town, the largest among the surrounding small towns, has shrunk from a large city with a few thousand people to a small town with only four to five hundred people now, and the young people in the town are gradually moving to the big city. , This shrinkage should continue in the future if nothing has changed.

In the end, these small towns will gradually die out like they have completed their historical missions.

Ai Luo held a cane in his hand and walked slowly up the rugged mountain road.

He looked at this mountain range that had prospered hundreds of years ago, and imagined countless people coming and going along these mountain roads in those years, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Looking back, I can see Pelican Town from a distance, and I can't help but sigh that the most capable of destroying a town in the world is definitely not war, but economy.

"Where do you two want to investigate? Are you going to see the Abyss? If you are free, I can lead them to see the scenery of the Changmian Mountains. It is absolutely unique!"

Ai Luo asked knowingly.

The tall city man waved his hand. He took out a blueprint from his arms and looked at it. Then he compared the surrounding terrain and said, "Go up the mountain first. There should be an abandoned mine nearby."

Ai Luo smiled and nodded: "Good!"

Continue to follow the winding mountain road, and when he climbed to the top of a mountain, Ai Luo thought he had reached the top, but he did not expect that there would be a higher mountain behind, and there was no feeling of bottom.

Fortunately, the entrances and exits of the mine were not completely buried due to the passage of time. When the sun was about to go down, a huge mine entrance finally appeared in front of everyone.

Brad carried the hammer and weighed his wooden shield before going in.

But before he could take a step forward, Cream reached out to stop him.

The livid young man lay on the entrance of the mine and looked inside, then lit a torch and threw it inside.

The torch rolled in a few times, showing a downhill road in the mine.But after about fifty or sixty meters, it got stuck at a corner and couldn't see it.

"Just rest here."

Cream clapped his hands, turned around and said--

"The mines that have been unoccupied for many years are easily occupied by some monsters. It is too dangerous to explore at night. Let's rest for a night and explore vigorously tomorrow morning."

Although the cream is not as good as the people in those two cities, Airo can tell that the people in these two cities are quite listening to the cream.

Now that it was decided, everyone found a shelter from the wind outside the mine, set up a tent, set up a campfire, and prepared dinner.

The process is quite busy, but there are not many words.

Except for a group of people from the Mermaid Song Guild, there was almost no communication among the people.

As the guild president who was entrusted this time, Ai Luo looked at the fire, confirmed that the omnivorous porridge inside was cooked, and raised his head to greet everyone to come over for dinner.

Under the stars, the entire mine was as clear as a white gauze.If you encounter a bard in such fine weather, I'm afraid you will just start playing.

Ai Luo served a bowl of omnivorous porridge and handed them to two people in the city.The two of them were a little unhappy when they first saw it, but after a bite they all raised their eyebrows.

"Good dinner."

The tall cityman took another sip, and filled a small piece of corn with a spoon into his mouth——

"This is a bonus for your guild. Chairman, were you a kitchen apprentice before?"

Ai Luo happily served Brad and Cocoa with a bowl: "Where, I learned by tinkering with myself. As the saying goes, if you have a good dinner, you will have energy the next day. Cocoa, let your little one White Vigil has no effect on your magic power, right?"

Coco took the bowl, took a sip, licked his lips and responded: "No."

As he said, with a wave of breaking the tree branch and chanting the spell, the undead soldier was holding a rust sword like the most loyal knight, standing outside the camp, waiting for any beasts that might invade the camp.

Perhaps it was the first time that the two people in the city saw the Necromancer, they couldn't help but glanced at the skeleton, then at Coco, the contemptuous expression in their eyes finally faded a little.

After eating, the two city people sat next to each other, picked up the drawings in their hands and began to communicate.Ai Luo ignored them, let everyone clean up the dishes, and continued to teach his family members to read and write.

During the whole process, Cream was watching from the side with a smile on his lips. I wonder if he was laughing at the Mermaid Song Guild for being a bunch of illiterate?Still curious about this kind of guild.

Look at the time, it's almost ten o'clock.

The members yawned and went back to their tents to sleep, and the two city people also put away the drawings, and started talking about the housework one by one.

Ai Luo packed up the paper and pen, looked at the two people in the city for a while, and then wanted to go over and talk.

"Hey, what class are you? Warrior? Mage?"

It's a pity that the cream was "appropriately" in front of Ai Luo, with a dog's tail in the corner of his mouth, and said something contemptuously.

Ai Luo shrugged and smiled: "You have outsourced your work to us, do you still care about my ability? Let me guess how much money these two city people gave in the beginning? Hmm... A gold coin? Then, you gave us 5 silver coins."

Cream had his hands on his hips and his face was cheerful.Just when Aylor thought he was going to sloppy eyes, this guy suddenly came to Aylor's back in a flash, leaning to his ear and whispered: "2 gold coins."

The fast movement of the cream really scared Airo!He jumped forward, but this guy returned to his original position faster, as if he hadn't done anything before, and continued to put on that bleak face.

"But your outsourcing is not very good. Those who are going to go to the mine at night, if I don't watch it, am I going to spend the night there?"

Ai Luo had nothing to say about this, and looked back at the tent where Brad was sleeping, but could only helplessly.

The guy sat down by the bonfire again, shaking the fire with a branch.He glanced at the people in the city sitting opposite, pulled Airo, let him sit next to him, and said in a voice that would not be heard by the other person: "Actually, I am not disgusted with girls outside. Work. Aren’t these all people, there are times when they want to eat. Who stipulates that if men can go out to make money, women can’t make money? You know that many jobs are often done, but women make better money!

Ai Luo frowned and seemed a little bit resistant to this little gangster, but he paid the money according to what the other party said, and could only laugh with him: "I didn't expect you to have this idea?"

"Of course, not everyone in the city comes here like this."

Cream pointed slightly to the people in the city over there, and continued to laugh--

"I'm not such a young master. I always feel that my women must be protected, so that they can live comfortably without working."

"In the slum where I was born, both men and women have to struggle to survive. There is no concept that girls should stay at home and wait for someone to raise them. Besides, being a kiln sister can make a lot of money, sometimes but Let us men envy~~!"

Originally, I heard it well, but then the cream started to become frivolous.

Ai Luo frowned and began to distance himself from this guy consciously.But Cream continued to sit over unconsciously, and smiled: "President, no, brother! A young man with oily noodles like you has never experienced a woman, right? I will take you to a big city next time. How is it? You, a handsome boy, would be very popular with girls!"

Ai Luo stood up with a whisper, still holding a polite smile: "Thank you so much, it's not early, so let's rest early."

With that, Airo walked to his tent.

With a dark face, Cream couldn't help groaning when he saw Ai Luo entering the tent: "What kind of pretence? The rich young man has never played with me, and he pretended to be with me? This uncle is only looking at your cleverness to help you, pretend! Fuck."

Rubbing his feet, Cream also returned to his tent.After a while, Ai Luo poked his head out of the tent, and after confirming that the cream did not run out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... I thought it was a help."

Retracting the tent, Airo touched his hat and confirmed that it was still well covered.

Look at the two city people over there. He checked the time, and now he should be able to go out and chat.

But just when he was about to go out, the two city people stood up from the campfire, meaning to go back to the tent.

This disappointed Aylor and he could only shrink his head back.

"Those who escaped from the mine are almost all crazy, talking nonsense all day. Are you sure we are fully prepared this time?"

"Don't compare us with those miners and tramps. Those people have never seen the world. We are different. Compared to this mine, I worry more about the war on the border."

"Yeah... the situation is not stable right now. If there is a war, even a lunatic will be sent to the front line."

"Damn it, if it weren't for all the troops to be transferred, how can investigation of this kind of mine be reduced to the point where these unorganized adventurers need to be hired?"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Airo reached out of the tent again. The bonfire was already empty, and only the undead soldier was waiting there loyally, his eyes flashing with a light blue light and his surroundings were vigilant.

Shrugging, Airo can only retract the tent again, pull off the oil lamp, and go to sleep.
