"After Mr. Guang Zhongguang heard that I had an uncle, he suggested that I go find my uncle... If possible, take the elemental car this time and use my own strength... to do a little bit...

I use my power to protect Mayor Garcia...as fare..."

Ariel smiled, but did not nod.

She turned to Duck beside her, exhaled slowly, and said in a helpless tone: "Duck, do you really think... this is okay?"

Dak nodded seriously, pointed to the snoring Mochi lying next to him, and said, "A child like this can do it. Jelly is already a very good man, so of course he can do it too."

Ariel shook her head and pointed at the mochi blowing bubbles in her nose: "No matter what, she is already twenty years old. Moreover, she is a vampire."

Then he pointed to the gel in front of him: "As for him? I'll just give him a ride. Are you sure you want him to protect me? Are you overthinking it?"

Seeing Ariel's unwilling expression, Dak seemed a little anxious. He turned to Jelly next to him and said, "Come on, tell the mayor, what do you know? Since you are an affinity person for the lightning element,

How many thunder and lightning series magic do you know?"

Perhaps, Dark now hopes that the boy will show off in front of Ariel.

But for Jelly, it is very embarrassing now.

He looked at Duck blankly, then looked at Ariel in front of him, and then looked a little embarrassed and scared. The boy lowered his head and kept rubbing his hands against each other. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally tremblingly

Raise your hands and open them.

Crack - crackle -

Some electric sparks began to jump between his fingers, as if with a certain rhythm.

Ariel nodded and waited patiently.

But after a while, the boy put down his hand that was flashing with electric sparks again, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Um...that's it? Is this the magic you know?"

Jelly seemed even more embarrassed. The child's head was completely lowered, and he looked as if he was about to jump out of the car and commit suicide.

Ariel shook her head slightly and said to the boy: "Jel... right? Tell me, what do you think? Do you want to protect me?"

Jelly was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Ariel's face.

For this country boy, the Ariel in front of him was undoubtedly far beyond his usual understanding of other girls.

For this boy, such a beautiful and noble woman is probably the most perfect girl he will ever meet in his life. In addition, Ariel's face is really not bad, and when he takes one look at it, he feels shy.

Emotionally, he quickly lowered his head.

"I...I...I am willing...to protect Mayor Garcia..."

Dak also smiled and said: "Look! Although he has no experience, he still has a good heart, right?"

Ariel frowned, stretched out her hand to pull Dak next to her, took a breath, and said: "Dak, tell me honestly now. What do you want to do with this boy?

"

Dak exhaled slightly and said seriously: "President, you should also know the power system of our guild very well. I really want to provide us with some remote magic system. Although this child has no experience yet,

But he really has a talent in this area. If you leave such a good talent aside, I would like to ask the president, why do you always refuse to let this child join?"

Naturally, Ariel and Duck's voices were not very soft, and neither of them had any intention of deliberately avoiding Jelly beside them, so the boy heard all these words clearly.

He pricked up his ears and seemed a little nervous, and his eyes kept scanning the faces of the two people, like a puppy about to be decided whether to throw it out of the house or stay at home, full of uneasiness.

Ariel turned back, glanced at the gel over there, and said, "Dak, your idea is to let him join our Mermaid Song, right?"

Duck nodded and did not deny it.

Ariel: "But you have to know that although our Mermaid Song is not a very good guild, there are still many benefits in Pelican City."

"Members of our guild can enjoy discounts when buying and eating in many stores. If you want to travel to the next town and don't want to drive or ride a horse by yourself, the transportation in the city will first meet the needs of our Mermaid Song.

Prepare in advance. At the same time, the members of Mermaid Song will also be respected by many people in Pelican City, because for Pelican City, Mermaid Song represents the final solution to the problem to a certain extent. It is to have some

It’s authoritative that ordinary people can never get.”

"I'm not saying that this boy is not good. He may be very good. But even if he is very good, he was still born a robber."

"If other people in the city see that even a bandit can become a member of the Mermaid Song if he has the strength, and then enjoy so many benefits. In this case, do you think ordinary people will still think that our guild

Is it worthy of respect?"

Hearing this, Jiji couldn't help but lowered his head again, and his whole person seemed to be depressed.

Dak frowned, looking a little unconvinced and said: "But President, Jelly didn't do anything big wrong? Although he was nominally a robber, he didn't hurt anyone, and even saved someone's life.

He killed someone! And he has now served his three-month sentence, so what reason is there to reject him?"

Ariel always thought that Dak was a powerful berserker.

This berserker has very keen intuition about combat. He will know where the shortcomings of a team are, and where the combat advantages and disadvantages are. This can also make him an excellent combat organizer and participant.

.

But on the other hand, besides understanding combat, he seems to really only be able to read books and be a scholar.

Are scholars bad?

No, Ariel respects scholars very much. Just like she respects her teacher. If a scholar like her teacher joins the guild, she will definitely be very happy.

However, scholars like Duck have a fatal weakness.

That is, he can clearly know where the problem will go, but when it comes to how to operate it specifically, this warrior is really very one-sided.

"Jiji, I'm not saying that you are not a good boy. I also know that you are kind-hearted, and the reason why you became a robber is indeed somewhat accidental."

"Last time, you were able to save someone regardless of your own safety. I was really touched. Children like you really deserve better. You have the power and the qualifications."

After receiving such a compliment from Ariel, Jelly raised her head slightly, with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

"But, maybe you really should have a bright future, but it shouldn't be now, let alone in Mermaid Song."

In an instant, Jelly's expression became tangled. He turned to Duck next to him worriedly, and Duck also looked a little nervous.

"Perhaps it seems to you that Mermaid Song is developing very well and is very powerful, and the future looks bright. If you want, you can stay in Pelican City and live a good life."

"But in the future, Mermaid Song may face some very...very elusive things. If you join Mermaid Song, then I will most likely ask you to do something that goes against your true inner thoughts. This kind of thing is very

It may be extremely dangerous and put you at risk."

"I don't know what you think about Mermaid's Song now. Do you think Mermaid's Song is a good tree for shade? Or is it a workplace where you can eat and drink well? Do you think of me?

Imagine the Adventurer's Guild as a place where you can eat safely and sleep soundly after putting in the kind of labor and work you did in prison?"

"But I want to tell you now, the real Mermaid Song is not a place like this. Joining the Mermaid Song now without a certain degree of psychological awareness is definitely not a good thing."

"If you are not aware enough, you may die for something you don't want to do after joining."

"And if I let you join, I might run the risk of betraying the Mermaid Song because you are unwilling to go against your true heart."

"So, Jelly...no, Mr. Jelly Fresh. Please understand my concerns. It's not because you are not good enough or not strong enough. It's because of various factors that you are not very suitable at the moment.

Join the Mermaid Song."

These words caused Jelly, who originally had a look of anticipation on his face, to finally lower his head completely.

After a while, he muttered for a while and said: "I...I understand...I'm sorry, Mayor Garcia..."

Seeing that the child was willing to admit it, Ariel relaxed a little and said with a smile: "No, you don't have to apologize to me. Well... although you can't join the Mermaid Song now, I'm still very happy to get to know you. Are you willing?

If so, you can also become friends with people in our guild, it doesn’t matter.”

When he said these words, a slightly disappointed look appeared on the face of Dak next to him. He exhaled and nodded as if he had compromised.

Ariel clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay! So now we know each other somewhat. Mr. Flash, what are your plans next?"

Jelly was obviously stunned and seemed to have nothing to say for a moment. He tried to raise his head several times, but in the end he lowered his head, looking downcast.

To be honest, regardless of the birth of this lightning-affiliated person, Ariel felt that he was not the best candidate to join her guild just because of his very indecisive character.

In fact, he may not be suitable to be a battle mage. It would be better if he could properly use his own magic power to become a magic researcher. He could really join a place like the Adventurer's Guild and become a front-line combatant.

I probably don’t know how he died.

Accompanied by the regular clicking sound of the wheels on the road, Ariel kept a smile on her face, approached the boy in a very approachable manner, and said again: "Mr. Flash?"

When Ariel's face was almost ten centimeters away from the boy, the gel seemed to feel the soft breathing of the woman. Her face turned red and she immediately turned her head away.

He rubbed his hands nervously, watching the lightning flashing back and forth between his fingertips, and said: "I...I...I don't know...I don't know what I...want to do..."

Ariel exhaled, as expected.

Then, the president nodded and said, "So just now, you said you had an uncle, and Dak said you should go to your uncle. Is it true?"

After thinking about it for a while, the expression on Jiji's face was still so hesitant and full of flickering colors. After thinking about it for a moment again, the boy finally nodded and said: "I...I think...maybe...

"

To be honest, Ariel feels that her temper may have gotten worse.

Thinking about it carefully, as the mayor and president of the association, she has a lot of things to deal with every day, a lot of people to meet, and a lot of reports to listen to. So she hopes that everyone who answers her questions can be straightforward and use the best possible answer.

The easiest way is to speak clearly, rather than mumbling some coy words. She really doesn't have that much time.

So now, when she heard this boy keep talking in this almost grinding tone, and couldn't hold back a specific thing for a long time, she really had the urge to interrupt him directly and tell him to stop talking!
To be continued...
