Chapter 2

Early in the morning, ello opened his patched quilt and got up.

This room is the least damaged of all the rooms on the second floor, and faces the street, so ello also designated it as his own room.

While changing clothes and looking out the street through the window, Pelican town is very quiet in the morning. It's not like the capital. It's busy before dawn.

Put on your clothes, put your hair back together and put on your hat. Arrow looked in the mirror and confirmed that he was an ordinary boy. Then he nodded, opened the door and went downstairs.

After three days of sorting, the layout of the tavern on the first floor has almost been transformed. The wine rack behind the bar has been changed into a cabinet for placing documents, the bar has been changed into a reception desk for accepting entrustment and placing tasks, and a wooden board has been hung on the wall next to the entrance of the gate to post a power of attorney.

Tables and chairs are placed in the corner as a rest place.

Although simple, the facade of a guild has been made.

Don't turn your head. Arrow glanced at Napa who was still lying on the reception desk. The cat hasn't spoken to itself since she cleaned up the first floor three days ago. Even when she woke up, she was lying there shaking her tail.

Of course, there are exceptions. When arrow cooked three meals in the morning, noon and evening, the cat would consciously come to him and ask for some food.

The cat didn't say a word about his instructions on how to set up an adventurer guild.

"Hello, Napa."

Carrying a bowl of milk porridge in front of Napa, Aurora sat down in a bar chair and said with a smile——

"You said you would help me build the adventurer guild for three days. Do you have any ideas?"

Napa raised her head slightly and looked at arrow, showing some vigilance and disdain, as well as some laziness. However, the cat's body was very honest. He walked slowly to the milk porridge and ate it.

"Don't you answer me? All right. "

"I'm going out to work later. Just stay here. Even if you don't like me very much, is it all right to help watch the door and don't let anyone in to steal? Although I don't think anyone will want to steal the junk here. "

Napa's head was lifted from the bowl, and her beard was stained with some milk stains and rice porridge. It paused for a moment and finally said——

"Are you going out to work? Do what? "

His eyes were still full of distrust, but arrow felt that the cat might have more questions than distrust.

Seeing this, he confirmed one thing more - the cat may have a lot of knowledge in some aspects, but it was obvious that he had no idea at the initial stage of the guild.

Although I thought about this possibility before, I'm still a little disappointed after confirming this... If I can, arrow also hopes that something can help him design everything, and he just needs to implement it according to the specified method.

"Of course it's the work of the adventurers guild. Do you have any idea what our guild should do now and how to make money? "

Napa lowered her head and licked two mouthfuls of milk porridge again. Her tail shook around. A moment later, she simply hung down, turned her head and continued to lie on the cushion, showing a indifferent expression: "of course I know! I told you to start the adventurers guild. How can you not know? But now I have to see your performance. At this stage, you can do it yourself! "

I know.

Not disappointed, ello pushed the bowl in front of Napa: "don't want to help, help me wash the bowl. I'll go out for a while. Maybe I can't come back in the evening. Watch the door and don't let anyone in casually. "

With that, ello tidied up his hat, confirmed it, and turned to the door.

But when he came to the door, he found that the cat came floating again.

"Don't get me wrong, Ariel, I'm not worried about you. I don't trust your way of doing things. "

Napa's tail hangs low. Such a long tail really makes people want to pinch it.

"Watch the house. Your following is not good for our business, but only bad. "

Arrow didn't give it a chance to follow, and pulled the brim of his hat seriously.

Seeing the firm attitude of the guild president, Napa could only watch him close the door.

————

Napa's presence is not bad for business.

The real disadvantage is to let the Warcraft know how to work.

With his hands in his pockets, arrow groped for the copper coins and walked slowly in the street.

After three days of contact, he was sure that the cat must have a lot of things he didn't tell himself, but it doesn't matter. He also didn't tell it a lot.

Now the "trust" between the two sides is only preliminary. If Napa always follows her, let her understand her way of working, and know some of her habits, even some "small habits" that she doesn't even realize, it will not be a good thing for long-term cooperation.

Don't know your business partner too well, because it will make you lose interest in working with him.

Similarly, don't let your business partners know you too well, because it will not only make you lose a lot of opportunities to make money, but also lose a friend.

Ello thinks this Warcraft should be a friend.

So it's good for both sides to have a little secret between each other.

Raise your head and look at the morning sunshine in Pelican town.

The economy of this small town is really underdeveloped. Its business is depressed and its industry is decadent. Now it all depends on the agricultural products of some surrounding villages.

The once prosperous era is far away. There are only a few hundred people living here in a town where thousands of people can live. That's why arrow was able to buy the largest house in the town with only 15 gold coins.

But... It's not ello's idea to wait for fun.

He felt that he was not so great and wanted to earn his 1000 gold coins by prospering the whole town.

To make money, the first thing to do is to collect information, and he has his own reason to make money in this small town where birds don't shit.

gold mine.

Gold was discovered in the Changmian mountains near Pelican town.

Moreover, it is also the largest gold mine in the whole blue bay empire.

This news was obtained through special channels when he was in the capital. It is absolutely reliable and has not been distributed yet. It is conceivable that now the aristocratic level in the capital has begun to act. Before long, this Pelican town will gradually welcome many and all kinds of people.

But he didn't want to take a share of the gold mine.

There will be a great bloodbath around this gold mine. If he is involved alone, he will be looking for death.

However, when there are more people, there will be more exchanges, and all kinds of materials will become urgently needed. In three years, it is not a dream to make a big profit by using the time when the gold mine has just been excavated.

Arrow habitually looked at the guild business license in his hand with a smile. There was no guild type or name on it.

At first glance, does it really sound like suicide? An economics student who doesn't know martial arts or magic runs the adventurer guild? It must be laughed to death by those students and teachers when it is spread to the school.

Put away the business license and arrow continued to take steps.

Although the angles are different, but on second thought, it's not all about making money. They all need "procurement channels", "commodities" and "sales channels", but the procurement channels of the adventurer Association have become people who release tasks, commodities have become tasks, and the sales channels are the way to complete tasks.

"Everything changes, doesn't it?"

Arrow went to the east side of Pelican town and opened the door of a unicorn bar.

In the lobby of the bar, there are several big men lying everywhere. The small town with poor entertainment will drink until dawn, which is a reluctant pastime.

The tall and thin man in his forties glanced at ello who came in, ignored him and wiped his glass. When he sat in front of the bar, he slowly said, "new?"

Arrow smiled and stretched out a finger: "a special breakfast at the unicorn bar, arrow Garcia. The adventurers' guild is currently running in the town. "

The boss glanced at arrow, put down his glass, turned and began to beat eggs and vegetables for breakfast: "little spirit Johnson. You can call me little spirits. "

While talking, a dry fried egg with celery dipped in wild mushroom sauce salad was placed in front of ello, and a cup of hot milk was served at the same time. Arrow took a sip of milk, exhaled a mouthful of heat, and said with a smile, "little spirits boss, it seems that you will have another familiar guest in the morning."

The corner of the little liquor's mouth raised a touch of inadvertent pride. He continued to wipe the glass and said slowly: "the adventurer guild? In a place like this? I always thought that only big cities would have adventurers' associations. "

He raised the cup and looked at the luster. He seemed very satisfied with his work. After inserting the cup into the cup holder, he picked up the next one, wiped it and said, "I'm afraid we only have to clean the sewer and catch mice here. I'm not even sure this kind of work will be released. "

Arrow smiled and said, "boss, it seems that you have seen the world?"

The little liquor snorted, "I've lived for a long time, so I'll see everything naturally. If you come on vacation, I'm very welcome. But if you want to make money in Pelican Town, I advise you to leave quickly before you lose much. "

Arrow scooped up a spoonful of sauce with a spoon and sent it to the import with wild celery to chew it slightly. He nodded and smiled and said, "the purpose of the adventurer guild is to solve problems, and human beings are the most problems. The harvest season is coming soon. I really want to have breakfast with you for a long time. "

The little liquor glanced at arrow again, and arrow was looking at the boss with a sincere smile.

After a moment of silence, the little spirit breathed out slowly and said, "about three kilometers east of Pelican Town, the countryside there seems to have encountered some problems recently. Those guys (staring at the sleeping drinker) always rumor that there are terrible demons. But in a small place like ours, there are no terrible demons. If you think it's OK, go and have a look. "

Arrow put down his knife and fork, smiled and nodded, "thank you, boss. How much is it?"

The little liquor glanced at the empty plate in front of arrow, continued to wipe the glass and said, "it's been a long time since new people came to town. Let me welcome them and welcome them to you."

Although the boss looks unhappy, he is still very enthusiastic ~ ~!

Although free things are the most expensive, arrow thinks the boss has got a long-term diner. Of course, the premise is that your guild can really run in such a place.

Leave the unicorn tavern and go straight along the dirt path in the East. After crossing a small hill, you can see a house and several livestock tents standing in front. It looks like a farm. From a distance, I saw four people standing in front of the largest house. I didn't know what they were arguing about.

"I said it! There must be mice here! Such a big mouse! I see! "

"Mouse? Will the rat destroy this piece clean? You women don't know anything! Haven't you heard of the magic thing recently? "

When I came closer, there was a man and a woman arguing. They were accompanied by two children, a big one and a small one. It looked like a very ordinary farm, a family of four.

Arrow went out of the farm and didn't go in. He just stood at the door and watched.

The men and women obviously quarreled and tired, and no one disagreed with each other, and their momentum seemed weak. The man turned his head and saw arrow here. He was a little angry and shouted, "what are you looking at? I haven't seen discipline women! "

When the woman saw an outsider, she quickly arranged her hair and took her two children to the house.

"Hello, I'm ELO Garcia, who recently moved to Pelican Town, so I want to say hello and meet you."

The population of Pelican town is so large that the rumor of new neighbors in three days is enough to spread to these farms a little far away.

Sure enough, the man looked at arrow up and down. Although he was still a little angry, he wiped his hand on his pants and said, "well, I know you. You are the businessman who comes to do business. I'm Mai, the farmer here. What do you want to buy? Although there are not many agricultural products here, everything is the best. Would you like to see my cheese? "

Unfortunately, if arrow now runs a business association, he is really interested.

But now, he looked at the wheat field where there was obviously a large piece of wheat missing, and said, "in fact... I run the adventurers guild. I hear you seem to be in some trouble. Do you mind if I have a look? "

Mai Yi was slightly stunned, with doubts in her eyes. There seems to be no concept of what the adventurer guild does.

Seeing this, ello quickly waved his hand, showed his smile and said, "just think of me as some kind of professional. I heard you just said there were mice? Maybe I can handle it for you? "

Although Mai still doesn't know what arrow is, he is very satisfied with arrow's politeness. Look at this adventurer guild. The boss is a head shorter than himself. He looks thin and small. The strong farmer also put down his guard and came to pull open the wooden fence.

"I don't know what you want, but it's definitely not a mouse!"

Mai Yi took ello to the wheat fields, and his mouth was still chattering——

"The harvest season is coming soon. My wheat can be cut immediately! But in recent days, the disaster has become more and more serious. I guess I can't harvest if it goes on like this! "

Arrow went to the wheat field, squatted down and looked at the field in front of him.

The wheat, which had been slightly yellowing, swayed gently under the early morning breeze, and everything looked very beautiful.

But near the edge of the wheat field, many wheat suddenly disappeared, revealing only the dark soil below.

"This must be a demon! I saw something so big get into my wheat field with my own eyes. But my wife doesn't believe it! "

Mai holds her fist and looks unwilling.

And arrow began to look at the wheat field carefully.

Well, visually, in the neat wheat field, only a piece of wheat about the size of three rooms disappeared. But the land has not been turned up, that is, it is unlikely to be uprooted by people. It is more like some kind of magic to completely transfer it.

Arrow went into the wheat field and walked around the bare land.

The ground under my feet is a little solid, as if it had been pressed by heavy objects.

Finally, he squatted on the black land, reached out and dug up a piece of soil, looked at it again and again, and smelled it again.

The soil has a little moist smell and a little fishy smell... Well, I see.

While Mai was still nagging, ello had finished exploring and returned to him.

"Tell me, isn't it a mouse?"

It's a great compliment to make the guests feel smart. With a smiling face, ello said very gently, "Mr. Mai, you're really smart. It's not a mouse. But something more troublesome than a mouse. "

Mai's face is full of pride! He glanced at the farmhouse, and his contemptuous eyes fell on the wife who opened the door to peep——

"Something more troublesome? What is it? Is there really a demon that destroys my field? "

Arrow: Yes, it's caused by a demon called shrem. In terms of quantity, there should be at least a dozen. "

Although the museum Atlas of old Teng tree is not complete, the records of this relatively low-level demon are still very detailed.

"This is a kind of magic thing like moving mud, which often acts in groups. They have no will, and they all rely on instinct in their actions. "

Arrow looked at the sky and said with a smile, "it's summer. The sun is strong and the temperature is high, so these shrems turn to night activities in order to avoid high temperature. Because your wheat is almost ripe, the fragrance is floating around along the wind, even shrem four or five kilometers away can smell it. For them, your wheat field is a big meal. Naturally, you should come and have a good meal in the evening. "

Holding his chin, he pretended to be worried and said, "shrem's breeding speed is very fast. After eating such a big piece last night, I think he should reproduce another large piece today. When they have digested, they will soon come for the next meal. When their ranks grow stronger, it should be their turn to eat flesh and blood, animals, and then people. "

Obviously, arrow's worried expression and professional sounding terminology made Mai look flustered. He hurriedly came up and asked, "well... What can I do? I haven't seen any magic objects since I was young! I only know about Warcraft when I listen to those bastards bragging in the unicorn tavern! This... What can I do? "

Although this is not good, it makes people lose their ability to think and turn all their thoughts to expect others to provide solutions. After this, it is too easy to gain each other's trust.

"You're lucky, Mr. Mai."

With his hands on his hips, ello said happily, "professional things naturally need professionals to deal with. I'll help you with slim's problem. "

"Really? thank you! Thank you so much! "

"No thanks, but I need to prepare some professional props to drive shrem. I don't know if you can provide them?"

"Yes, yes! What do you want? I can provide it all! "

With an expression of wanting to help, arrow said, "I need a chicken, a living adult chicken. Either cock or hen will do. Then I need a silver coin as my reward. "

"Ask for money?"

Mai, who just seemed very nervous, suddenly picked up her spirit. Her eyes returned to calm and began to look up and down at ello.

Since he was suspicious, ello immediately turned and left, "don't you believe me? Then think I didn't say it. By the way, although slim is weak, he also has an extremely terrible ability. They cannot be stabbed to death with a sword, inserted with a pitchfork, or hammered to death with a hammer. If you let it go... I'll wait until others are willing to offer a higher price. But I hope to see Mr. Mai again at that time. Don't lose your arms and legs. "

The continuous intimidation was really effective. Mai quickly stopped arrow's way and said with a worried smile: "don't worry, I'll give you the chicken. But the price... A silver coin? Our family of four only costs 8 or 9 iron coins a day! "

Arrow spread out his hands and said helplessly, "Mr. Mai, expelling demons is a fatal job. You should also know that shrem's life will be in danger if he can't handle it well. A silver coin is really cheap. "

"That... That... Is really a little expensive."

Mai rubbed her hands and held out a palm——

"How about eight copper coins? This is the biggest price I can offer. "

Just right, this is also the price in ello's heart.

"Mr. Mai, you can really bargain..."

Arrow pretended to be very embarrassed and nodded reluctantly after thinking for a while.

At this time, the farmer was very happy. He immediately took a chicken and eight copper coins. However, after thinking about it, he only put two coins on ello's palm, indicating that it was a deposit, and then paid six more after it was done.

It's fair. After all, what's more surprising is that the flower goblin seems to form a partnership with the giant man? She didn't have any forced expression. Instead, she shook her legs and looked expectantly at the roast chicken slowly maturing on the campfire.
