Gold coin is justice

Qiangwei continuously waved the rose petals with her hands, and with her another wave, a tree root suddenly rose from the grass and steadily wrapped around an archer's wrist, pulling it.

The unprepared bow and arrow flew out, steadily hitting the vest of a human soldier ahead.

After feeling the gradual consumption of the magic power in her body, Qiangwei could not help but exhale, raised her hand, and quickly backed away with the human beings caught by the rose buds, and at the same time shouted: "(Fairy language) Everyone! That's it! Stop! !"

With the continuous battle, the flower fairies themselves were also very tired.After hearing this call from the acting chief, the flower fairies hurriedly flew into the air, quickly flying behind Qiangwei, panting one by one, floating in the air with difficulty.

And the human soldiers who saw these flower fairies retreat suddenly stopped fighting for a while, and instinctively stepped back a few steps to get away from these flower fairies.Especially those magicians, immediately ran out of the magic range after the time limit finally ended, quickly recovered their magic power, and prepared for the next battle.

Airo looked at the situation of both sides.

On the flower fairy side, along with Qiangwei herself, a total of fifteen flower fairy participated in the battle just now.After the melee just now, a total of five sisters on their side were arrested.

There was a tired posture on the face of each flower fairy, and they all panted with big mouths, and their bodies were full of the mud that was contaminated when they fell to the ground.One of the flower fairy's wings was interrupted, and now it was flying in the air with the help of two companions.

Then, look at the human side.

This time it was only the vanguard of Lord Norris, almost a hundred people.There was a team of almost three hundred people waiting behind.

However, the state of the vanguard of this one hundred people is not so good now. They are also very tired, and many of them suffer from scars.Without the support of the magician, although many of them did not die, many of them had their arms and legs broken, and they all looked embarrassed.

At the same time, there are five huge rose buds floating beside Qiangwei, each of which contains a human soldier.

More importantly, it's not just that the rose has buds beside it.Beside the other weary flower fairies, there are two more and one less, and a total of seventeen flower buds are floating there.This also means that in this battle, the flower fairies captured a total of seventeen human soldiers.

"Huh... human!"

After taking a breath, Qiangwei resisted the fatigue of her body, opened her mouth and shouted loudly--

"Change! Change!"

While shouting, she stretched out her fingers and pointed at the sisters who were caught by humans and locked in bird cages or bags.

After shouting twice in a row, she raised her hand abruptly and made a slow squeezing motion.Following her movements, the buds holding the soldiers began to shrink slowly.With the contraction, some soldiers' feet are still hanging out of the buds, but now they are convulsing violently!It seems unimaginable what they are encountering now.

————

"(Fairy Talk) Catch... humans?"

Qiangwei looked surprised.

But Ai Luo nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "(Fairy language) Yes. I guess you will not die in the first conflict. After all, no matter how you say it, the goal of human beings is for you. The beauty and efficacy of. Obviously, the living flower fairy is more valuable than the dead flower fairy. Therefore, if humans will not kill you, you can't directly kill you, and at the same time, you must catch more human soldiers to return. . Um... according to my opinion... it's just as if humans have captured three times the number of your sisters."

Hearing this, Qiangwei turned her head and discussed with the sisters beside her.Obviously, this method made these flower fairies very uncomprehending. Qiangwei turned her head again, frowning and asked: "(Fairy language) Excuse me, what's the use of catching soldiers? Can you infer that we are humans who love soldiers? ?"

Ai Luo couldn't help but laughed, and the smile made the flower fairies seem a little more nervous.

"(Fairy language) Take care of soldiers? Hahaha, what a joke, soldiers are just a consumable for the nobles, more often it is just a number. How can it be possible to take care of soldiers?"

Such a sentence made Qiang Wei even more confused.Similarly, after Buffy’s translation, the members of Song of Mermaid are now showing confused expressions.

"(Fairy language) Well, although for the noble lords, soldiers are tools, there is no talk of caring or caring. But you must also know that although the nobles have no affection for soldiers, they are very powerful for money. To some extent, soldiers are equal to the money of these noble lords."

————

Yes, it equals money.

Ai Luo squeezed his fist slightly, watching the confrontation in the distance, his heart was beating quickly too!

In the case of market value, a flower fairy should be worth two to three hundred gold coins, right?

But for a lord, if a soldier died in his army, the pension should not be less than fifty gold coins.

At first glance, it seems that it is not a loss to exchange three soldiers for a flower fairy, but the actual situation absolutely does not allow a lord to make such a "cheap" conversion.

After the battle just now, many of these soldiers were injured, and many of them were not even minor.

A soldier who is wounded and unable to fight is equivalent to not being a soldier, but he still needs to pay his military salary and wages during the period of his recovery.

Coupled with the maintenance of weapons, potions, armor, and the consumption of the road.Finally, if there is no exchange, it is equivalent to adding the pension of the seventeen soldiers.

Is that all done then?

Just kidding, of course not.

The above losses are only direct economic losses, and there are indirect losses.

The positions of the dead soldiers must be filled, so they need to be recruited again.Go through the enlistment process again and rearrange the accommodation and food arrangements for the newly recruited soldiers.

The most important thing is that these soldiers need to be retrained. This period of training also represents an economic loss.

The flower fairy is captured for money.

But if you can’t make much money by catching the flower fairy, or if you can make money but the process is extremely hard and it will cause you a lot of trouble, then what is the point of capturing the flower fairy? What?

"Your Excellency, Viscount Norris!"

Airo yelled, and when the cold-faced lord turned his head to look at him, he smiled and said——

"If we stop now, I believe the Flower Fairy clan is still willing to negotiate in a peaceful way. What do you think?"

Are you willing to spend a lot of effort, trekking through mountains and rivers, exhausting all the agencies, and consuming a lot of physical and mental energy to earn 100 gold coins?

Or are you willing to lie down comfortably, or earn 50 gold coins for nothing while running other jobs?

Economic choices are always so cold.Therefore, Ai Luo had to see if the lord could accept such an exchange.

For a long time...

Viscount Norris stared coldly at the flower fairies who were confronting his soldiers.

He also looked at these tired and scarred soldiers.

After observing for a while, the anger that had accumulated on his face suddenly turned into a sneer?

Accompanied by this sneer, the lord slowly raised his head and said loudly: "Piranha, what you said is indeed correct."

The members of the Sea Shark Guild stunned for a while, and the Piranha Whale also turned to look at the lord.

"I do, as you said, is an academic who only knows how to conduct some so-called microeconomic operations, is not strong in combat, and only knows how to use some small brains. Compared with you, a professional who has been taking risks everywhere. In other words, my experience of understanding monsters is indeed pitiful."

"But...but ah..."

"Can you tell me now? Tell me, why is the situation now like this?"

"Didn't you vowed to tell me before that the flower fairies have always been known for their timidity and weakness. Can you arrest them without any effort?"

"But now... why do these flower fairies show such a powerful force? Come here and tell me, how can I regard these little things as gold that can be easily picked up?"

From beginning to end, the lord’s tone seemed normal.

There is no pride, no dissatisfaction.Just as I have always been talking to ordinary people about trivial matters in life, there is no violent emotional ups and downs.

Hearing Norris's words, the Piranha Whale could not help but snorted coldly.But compared to Norris's "sarcasm", he did not show any desire to rush to fight directly or conversely talk back.After the president of the Sea Shark Guild thought for a while, his gaze suddenly shifted to Ai Luo next to him.His gaze was constantly scanning the short guild leader, and the face covered with scars now looked a lot more serious.

Seeing that the Piranha Whale didn't respond to him, Norris couldn't help but snorted and raised his hand: "Let go."

The soldiers in front saw their lord giving the order, and after hesitating for a moment, they opened the cage that held the flower fairies.

The five detained flower fairies tremblingly came out of the cage. Once they were free, they immediately flew to Qiangwei's side at a very fast speed and apologized softly.

Qiangwei shook her head, and after calming the sisters, she also waved.Those huge flower buds slowly fell to the ground and opened.The soldiers inside rolled out in a panic, and after showing a little confused expression, they immediately ran towards their human team.
