Gold coin is justice

Chapter 45: Everything in the world is for business

It was Wolf who had anticipated countless kinds of things that Airo might say in his mind, but this sentence was really beyond his expectation.After stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but laughed out hahaha: "Make peace? Are you making peace with me?! Hahahaha! This is really the funniest joke I have heard today. You It seems really crazy, so crazy that I don't know what I'm talking about anymore. But it's okay to die with madness, you at least save a lot of pain.

"I'm not joking with you, I really want to make peace with you." Under the threat of death, the smile on the corner of Airo's mouth that had disappeared is now raised again, and he smiled With such self-confidence, it seems that Wolf is not in charge of the situation now, but he, "Trust me, it is definitely better for you to make peace with our Mermaid Song. You will get a lot of benefits, these benefits It far exceeds the benefits you can bring by killing us."

Seeing Aylor's smiling face, Wolf's original arrogance was involuntarily restrained.

He looked carefully at the short president in front of him, his brain thinking hard.But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what benefits this guy could give himself.Could it be that he wants to use money to buy his own life?If this is the case, it won't be too late to kill these guys after getting the money, anyway, the strength of Mermaid Song is just like that.

Of course, if the short president dares to make any changes, he can make all his lies disappear with a single blow.

"Tell me, how do you want to beg for mercy? Will you buy your life with money?"

Ai Luo simply carried his hands on his back, showing that he was absolutely non-threatening, and said with a smile: "Buying life? No, no, this is too low-end, and I can't guarantee that you won't Continue to kill us. The strength of our guild is like this, and I have no assurance that you will not kill us."

Wolf lowered his head slightly: "Then what do you want to use to make peace?"

Ai Luo smiled, this smile is full of professionalism and full of warmth like spring breeze.It seems that what he is facing now is not an enemy who is about to take his life, but a distinguished customer who is about to send money to him.

"President Wolfe, first of all, let me guess what your goal in life is."

Airo said first, paused, and after confirming that Wolfe hadn’t stopped his will, he continued—

"Even if you were tempted by the mage Merlin at the beginning, the ultimate goal of attacking the Viscount Mansion should be for money. Killing is just for the sake of money."

"Then it is obvious, President Wolf, what you want is a lot of wealth. As for whether to kill or not, whether to kill any bastard is behind the idea of ​​making money."

Wolfe thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "Go on."

"Now that you know that the president, your philosophy is to make money, let's first assume that if you kill everyone in our Mermaid Song now, what will happen next?"

Wolf: "What happened? What else will happen."

Airo: "Hehe, according to my judgment, things will develop like this next."

"You will run away immediately after you kill us, that's okay. But after that, all the townspeople in Pelican Town will find that our guild is completely destroyed."

"Even if the townspeople don't feel sorry for the complete destruction of our guild, some people will care about the living conditions of our guild."

"Tax officer."

"In the fall of each year, tax officials begin to travel throughout the Blue Bay Empire and start to collect taxes in various towns. Soon, those tax officials will arrive in Pelican Town, and they will not see our mermaid’s tax revenue. And after being empty, naturally you will soon hear from the townspeople that there was a battle between our Mermaid Song and your Iron Wolf Guild, and then they were completely wiped out."

"Of course, it is not uncommon for the Iron Wolf Guild to completely destroy our mermaid song. Regardless of its strength or economics, a big guild like you should have crushed our guild's existence in all directions. So the demise of our guild The incident will not cause you any psychological pressure. At most, the iron wolf will be charged with a'personal fight' and fined."

Wolf: "Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of those charges?"

Ai Luo shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "Of course, what I want to talk about is not a crime, fines, or something. It's another thing that is vital to our guild-reputation."

"In these days, whether you are a mercenary, a guild, or even a bandit gang, reputation is very important. I don't mean a good reputation, but a reputation of being'strong'."

"President Wolf, have you ever thought about it? Our Mermaid Song is a small guild that has only been established in less than two months. The guild's combat power is only a warrior plus a necromancer. It can be annihilated. When we are a small guild with only two combat effectiveness, the total of ten people you brought out this time, including a flame mage, were all wiped out except you?"

"'To deal with a guild with only two combat powers, Iron Wolf actually paid the price of nine combat powers killed!" What do you think other people will think when this matter is passed through the tax official?"

In an instant, Wolfe, who had just appeared very calm just now, was shocked. His expression showed that he had never thought about it.

Seeing that his own words finally began to take effect, Aylor continued: "Wolf Firth, the leader of the Iron Wolf, is his combat power so weak? Leading nine people to kill two adventurers and an ordinary person actually requires Paying such a big price? Is this person exaggerated? Or, is this president not leading the team at all? Does he really have such a strong strength? Will following him turn around? Was he cheated?"

"I believe these questions will be spread in people’s mouths soon. At that time, let alone come to your guild for entrusted tasks. Even the adventurers who want to join the Iron Wolf guild will weigh your weight. Make another decision. And I just said that even if it’s a superficial guild, a gang of bandits behind the scenes needs a reputation. No guy who wants to be a bandit wants to be a bandit that sounds weak and doesn’t take it at all. Team, a band of robbers that will kill their subordinates at every turn."

"In this way, President Wolfe, for a long time to come, at least until these rumors disappear, you must rely on your own work to re-establish your reputation in the industry. But we should all know that single How difficult it is for a one-person adventurer to complete the task. If you have to go it alone, I am afraid that not many people are willing to give the work to you. If you want to, I am afraid that it will only be some digging out the drain and killing the hook. Tooth rat is a task that can only make people starve. In this case, does it run counter to the wish of President Wolfe to make a lot of money?"

Airo's words came to an end for the time being, because from Wolf's expression, he already knew that his words worked.

A worried color appeared on his face, and the knife stuck in Ai Luo's neck was also involuntarily withdrawn a little outside.

"you you……!"

Wolf wanted to refute two sentences, but he found that he couldn't refute a single sentence.It seems that as long as this knife is really cut down, then in the next few years, I will really go to dig the sewer and kill the hooked rat for a living.

And... this kind of encounter seems to be really likely to happen when you think about it!

"So... how do you want to make peace with me? My people are dead no matter how you say, I let you go, and you ran out and said that your mermaid song will just use the fighting power of two people to take my iron The wolf is almost wiped out, so am I even more shameless?!"

Thinking of this, Wolfe's long knife involuntarily pressed Airo's neck again!But this time it was obvious that he looked a little excited, and the serrated blade was slightly embedded in Ai Luo's skin, printing a bloodshot.

However, as if there was no pain at all, the smile on Airo's face was still so strong: "No, no, our song of mermaid will never do anything harmful to the iron wolf. Because we can do a fortune. business."

Wolf: "What...what do you mean? Make it clear! I will kill all the guys who dare to stop me making money!"

Aloha laughed, and continued: "Let me first talk about the reason why our Mermaid Song does not do things that undermine the majesty of the Iron Wolf."

"So now suppose, President Wolf, you are suddenly in a good mood to let us go. After our mermaid song is safe, immediately let out the wind saying that we will come to chase down our Iron Wolf Guild almost completely and destroy them. The president of the United States, Wolf Firth, has been beaten! What will happen to us in this case?"

"First of all, President Wolf, you will be very upset. The next day you will come to our guild and destroy us all."

This sentence was very sincere, and Wolf nodded slightly, and the knife that was pressing against Ai Luo's neck finally withdrew again.

"Secondly, even if President Wolfe is very magnanimous and let go of the past, the next thing will only become very troublesome for our Mermaid Song, rather than very simple."

"Why? That's because your Iron Wolf guild is a very good guild. In terms of strength, it should be counted as one of the top 100 guilds in the country?"

Wolfe thought for a while, and a smile burst out from the corner of his mouth: "Ha ha, is there such a statistical table? Well, the top 100 should be fine. Maybe even the top 50, ha ha."

"That's right! President Wolf, you think, our small guild with only two combat effectiveness has just been founded less than two months ago, suddenly defeated the top fifty guilds in the country in a head-on battle! What does this mean? This means that our guild is very powerful! The reputation of our guild will skyrocket throughout the Blue Bay Empire!"

"But the skyrocketing reputation brought about not a good thing, but a disaster."

"After that, all kinds of commissions that far exceed our guild's capabilities will come. Other guilds see our guilds so good at grabbing business, and they will start to treat us as competitors to arrange the next market arrangements."

"With a very small size, we have obtained a market that we can't swallow at all. Once we can't eat this market, with the successive failures of our guild’s missions, the large amount of fame we have gained will be instantly It has become a lot of bad reviews and doubts."

"From an economic point of view, what a guild needs is popularity and reputation. If both popularity and reputation are high, then it means that a guild is a well-known big guild in the country, and it may also directly accept the commission of the royal family and be honored ."

"If the reputation is high and the popularity is low, then we will do a regular customer business in a small circle. Although the possibility of development is relatively small, in that circle, we can have an excellent evaluation and make a lot of money."

"If the popularity and reputation are both low, then it is so-called stinky, which is just a small area of ​​stinky. You can first think of a way to brush up the reputation in such a small area, and then increase the reputation. difficult."

"But if we encounter the worst situation, that is, our mermaid song is famous throughout the Blue Bay Empire, but everyone who talks about our mermaid song is scornful and accompanied by ridicule and contempt, then our business will be There is really no way to do it, it is impossible to even turn over, it has to be closed."

"Our mermaid song needs to improve the reputation of our guild, but it absolutely does not need to be too sudden. The reputation we need must match the strength of our guild, and we cannot accept this kind of fame."

"It is for this reason, so our Mermaid Song will never do anything to the detriment of the Iron Wolf Guild in response to this incident today. Do you understand now?"
