From beginning to end, Bass just listened.

However, these businessmen became more and more enthusiastic as they talked, and looked as if they were going to implement it immediately. They all seemed geared up.

Looking at such a group of businessmen, Bass closed his eyes slightly and then opened them again.

When Viscount Richie spoke to him again, Bass raised his hand and interrupted them.

"I generally understand what you mean."

Bass clasped his fingers on the table, glanced slowly at everyone here, and continued: "I understand your thoughts now. You want to contribute to the mermaid army, our army and leaders

I understand this by taking out insurance."

"But I want to ask, why do you want to say these things to me?"

Facing Bass's inquiry, the businessmen present looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Viscount Norris over there smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Macaroon, I think you seem to have misunderstood.

.We don’t mean to look down on you. It’s just because we are related to your wife’s business——”

"Suta is not the only one who is related to your business. Your Chamber of Commerce's business is so extensive. I think she is not the only member of Mermaid Song who has a relationship with you. Why don't you discuss it with others?"

At this moment, everyone fell into silence again.

However, Bas could see from their eyes that these businessmen did not know the answer to this question. On the contrary, they knew the answer to this question very well. It was precisely because of this answer that Bas

Only now would he appear here, and these businessmen would try to bring him in.

reason?

That is of course "loyalty".

At least, it seems "loyal" to outsiders.

"Mr. Macaroon, Mermaid Song is indeed an excellent guild. But judging from the number of people in the guild, it is currently too few."

Norris's face was filled with a smile, he spread his hands and said slowly——

"We all know that Mr. Macaroon may have some objections to joining the Mermaid Song. After all, how were you kidnapped by the Mermaid Song in a conspiracy, and then how did you fall into a coma, only to find you when you woke up?

Madam has become a senior member of Mermaid Song, and we all know everything that happened."

"I can't say that Mermaid Song has done you any wrong, but from a fundamental point of view, you can be regarded as being semi-forced to stay in Mermaid Song. Ah, let me emphasize again, I am not saying that this is not good.

But it means that Mermaid Song needs to develop and need more members. For example, we also want to join the Mermaid Song Guild. If Mr. Bass can serve as such an introducer, then I believe that as long as we have the strength of Mermaid Song

After becoming more expanded, we will definitely be able to better support you and your wife's career within the guild."

As Norris's words fell, Bass' eyes slowly withdrew.

He looked at his hands, lowered his head, and remained silent for a long time.

And this kind of silence has a strange silence for everyone present. Especially the magic sword that has always been suspended behind the magic swordsman, which is reflected by the surrounding element lights.

A strange pitch-black color.

"You are right."

Finally, Bass raised his head again, looked at everyone present, and said slowly——

"I used to be a Paladin. Or, in other words, a mercenary who acted with the power of a Paladin. During a 'business' process, I was inexplicably kidnapped by Mermaid Song and then forcibly kept in

Here. I lost consciousness. When I woke up, Suta replaced me and became a real paladin. She got the title that my father wanted me to get all his life. She was able to stand holding the holy shield.

Under the light, become the target of others' attention forever."

"But I, who just woke up, can't even stand firmly."

"Later I found out that I was forcibly deprived of the power of a paladin by my wife and everyone in Mermaid Song. Instead... I became a paladin who was completely opposite to the paladin and had some kind of demonic power...

Magic Swordsman."

"Loyalty? Oh, I don't have much loyalty to the Mermaid Song. From the beginning, I basically had no relationship with the Mermaid Song. I just followed my wife and joined this organization. To say that for this organization

Working for someone is not work. Mermaid Song can afford the price, so I will participate. But when it comes to working for Mermaid Song, I will still think about it carefully."

Hearing what Bas said, all the businessmen present burst into happy and excited smiles.

The grain merchant Solder stood up directly, walked towards Bath with a drink in his hand, and said loudly: "Mr. Macaroon, I'd like to toast you! As long as this thing can succeed, then we believe that Mermaid

The future of Mermaid Song will definitely become better! After all, everyone is gathered together to make Mermaid Song stronger!"

Bass glanced at the businessman, but did not stand up, or even lift the wine glass in front of him. Instead, he continued to face these people and said: "There is no need for polite words. Anyway, I am not a paladin anymore. Since I am

Demon Swordsman, then you need to have self-awareness as a Demon Swordsman. What should I do if you break up? And what are the specific benefits I can get after the matter is successful."

Although Solder was a little embarrassed after being rejected, seeing that the magic swordsman was still obedient, he finally returned to his seat and sat down.

Viscount Rich smiled and said: "Bas, it's great that you can figure this out. But I'm not saying that I want you to be detrimental to Mermaid Song. Don't tell me, we seem to want you to hurt Ariel.

Something like that. Ariel is a very precious child to me, and I already treat her as my daughter! You believe me, I will never do anything bad to her!"

Bass did not look at Viscount Rich at all, nor did he respond to his promise. He just continued to glance at these people, waiting for an answer.

In this regard, Norris finally said: "The thing is actually very simple. Shortly after the Holy Night Festival, I believe that the Mermaid Song will conduct a public trial on the female demon of the Demon King's army and publicly execute her. This kind of thing could have been easily solved.

, but due to the rumors that are constantly spreading in the public, if the female devil is simply executed, the impact will not be very good."

"So, during this period of time, our six major chambers of commerce will use all our strength to help Mermaid Song suppress public opinion. Please believe that as long as we spend 10% of the money we usually spend on advertising in various newspapers,

With a lot of energy, we can definitely reverse public opinion. We can also compile many stories that are absolutely beneficial to Mr. Tesla, and we can even say that he has no fault at all."

Bass raised his head slightly: "Oh? Then what."

Norris looked into Bass's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he smiled again and continued; "During this process, I hope that Mr. Bass can advise Ms. Marquis. If the execution place has not been decided yet, then the execution place

Just leave it to us to arrange it. This is an excellent business opportunity and we certainly don’t want to miss it.”

Bass frowned slightly: "You all want to make money from dead people?"

Norris continued to smile: "People are dead, but those who see them dead are living people."

Buzz: "And then."

Norris: "Then, we hope to recommend five candidates. For now, they are the bodyguards around us chamber of commerce bosses who only know how to make money. We hope to introduce them to the Mermaid Song along the way.

Gain the guild power of Mermaid Song."

This time, Bass once again set his sights on all the "bodyguards" present.

The eyes of these bodyguards also fell on Bass at the same time. As if they had some kind of power to back him up, they seemed to raise their chests in unison, showing that they were determined to win.

Bass did not agree directly, but withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on Norris.

Norris chuckled and said slowly: "This kind of thing must not be difficult, right? As long as Mr. Macaroon can say a few nice words in front of Ms. Marquis. Of course, it all depends on whether he can successfully enter the Mermaid Song in the end.

They have their own abilities. In other words, we have no intention of forcibly blocking people. If they can't meet the eyes of Ms. Marquis, it's their own fault, and we won't force them."

In response to this, although Bass didn't say anything, he snorted slightly in his nose.

"Finally, of course we will not relax about the benefits of Mr. Macaroon. Look... how about forming an army of magic swordsmen commanded only by you?"

Bass was stunned for a moment and said, "What does this mean?"

Norris chuckled and continued: "It means literally. We all know that the magic swordsman is the natural nemesis of many magicians. Since it is the nemesis, it is natural to understand that the Blue Bay Empire has also tried to cultivate it before.

"

"But no matter how they train them, the magic swordsmen they train are always a little bit inferior. At most, they can be said to be enhanced versions of soldiers, and they are far from being able to stably challenge a magician.

situation."

"However, their training is not without improvement. They are among the best in controlling these inferior magic swordsmen. You must have fought against each other before. Although these magic swordsmen are not strong, they are loyal to their masters.

But his speed is first-rate, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a perfect dog."

"Recently, the Blue Bay Empire seems to be having a hard time. Our Chamber of Commerce actually bought their method of refining this inferior magic swordsman from some channel. I think now is a good opportunity to use it.

Think of it as a gift for Mr. Macaroon."

An army of magic swordsmen completely under his control?

It must be said that Bass had thought about many ways that these businessmen could use to buy him, maybe giving money, maybe giving real estate or business secrets. But he never thought that these people would actually want to give him a

army!

An army...that is truly under one's own control?

Seeing Bass's silent expression now, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Norris's mouth again. He nodded slightly and said: "Why, Mr. Macaroon, don't you think this gift is valuable enough?

"

After a moment of silence, Bass shook his hand. Then he said, "Aren't you afraid that I will regret it after I get the method?"

Norris clapped his hands and said with a smile: "If Mr. Macaroon really regrets not helping, then this gift can be regarded as a simple gift to you. As we just said, our plan is all for the mermaid

We are thinking about the future of Mermaid Song, so if you are not willing to help, then we will just assume that Mermaid Song thinks it will be better to continue like this, and we businessmen have no objections and just continue to make money."

Viscount Rich, who was on the side, also took this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said: "Bass, we have been friends for many years! Norris also said just now that we are all doing this for the good of Mermaid Song, so you shouldn't be so wary.

.I came to talk to you this time because I feel that you have joined Mermaid Song for the shortest time, so you should be able to look at these things the most rationally, and don’t really think of us so badly."

Faced with the rhetoric of these businessmen, Bass raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up, looked at everyone in front of him, and said: "I already understand all your thoughts. I will go back and think about it carefully. If you really think about the song of the mermaid, then I can do it too."
