After a while, under Gawain’s gentle smile and Musgard’s comfort in every possible way.
The mermaids in the secret room finally calmed down.
The red fish-tailed Triss who had just caused trouble was hiding behind her best friend, secretly looking at Gawain and Gawain who were sitting on the sofa and talking about business.
Sitting on the sofa, Gawain looked regretfully at the corpse on the ground. He felt sorry for the first life he had witnessed after coming to the new world.
At the same time, the sensible mermaid also brought fruits to Musgard and Gawain.
On the side, seeing the melons and fruits being approached, Musgard waved his hands with a sad face.
"I'm really not in the mood to eat, and I think Gawain is the same."
"indeed."
Although Gawain was quite curious about the taste of food in this world, how could he have an appetite when there was a dead life lying in front of him.
Hearing Gawain's response, Musgard sighed. He turned to look at Gawain, pointed with his right hand at the mermaids of different shapes around him, and said.
"This has been my secret all along. For them, I have spent almost all the gold I have received in recent years."
"Wait, did you mean everything?"
Gawain was a little surprised.
"Well, people like you and me, as one of the nineteen family patriarchs, will receive a share of wealth worth 2.8 billion Baileys every week. If we calculate it purely by value, their prices will certainly be far less than
I spend about 150 billion beli every year.
But this is Mariegio, not Shampoo Place!
If it were at the auction house in the Chambord Islands, the minimum price would be two to three hundred million, and the maximum would be eight to two billion, I could take a photo of a mermaid and let it go.
But they are different. I exchanged them from other Draconians in Mariejoia!
The prices of goods in Mariejoia are dozens of times higher than those in the outside world. In addition, many Celestial Dragons do not accept money, but asked me to exchange all kinds of difficult treasures.
Therefore, in order to save all the living mermaids in Mariejoia in the past five years, I have indeed spent almost all my wealth in the past five years..."
After the words fell, Musgarud didn't have any regrets on his face. He clenched his fists and gently hammered the table.
"It's a pity that there are too few members of the Don Quixote family, so I don't get much tribute from family members, otherwise I could save more!"
"I probably understand your hard work, Musgard-senpai!"
Gawain gently patted Musgard on the shoulder.
"But I always feel that there is something wrong with your method!"
After the words fell, Gawain frowned and said to Musgarud seriously.
"Since you know that their value will reach its peak in Mariejoia, why don't you directly target the source of their arrival in Mariejoia, the Chambord slave auction house?"
"Well, Gawain, maybe I didn't make it clear, but I have actually bought all the mermaids auctioned in the slave yard!
But I can't buy it myself, and once other Tianlong people come to the auction house to compete with my men, the men I sent there will have no choice but to avoid it!
In addition, there are many Tianlong people who like to coat their own boats and go to the Dragon Palace Kingdom to catch fishmen themselves.
What's more, it's not just the Champaign region that buys and sells mermaids in the world. Nobles and kings from who knows how many countries are willing to use mermaids to pay for the heavenly gold they have to pay!
So I simply can’t restrict the channels for all the mermaids to lead to Mary Joa..."
"Um."
Gawain nodded, as he thought, the Celestial Dragons may be arrogant or brainless, but after all, their outlook is completely different from ordinary people, and they are by no means real fools.
But even if they are not stupid, they may not be smart enough.
for example…….
"I know that anything that becomes a trend cannot be easily banned by one person.
So Musgard-senpai, in the past five years, have you not tried to use public opinion to set off a new trend in Mariejoia that denies the value of mermaids?"
"What trend?"
Musgard was a little confused.
Seeing this, Gawain continued to explain.
"Let me just give you a simple example. Through transactions, we can let other family patriarchs say in public that mermaids are slaves that are lower than human slaves. Only the most despicable dragons with the least vision will like them.
We can also create a few cases of illnesses caused by being close to mermaids to create pressure on ordinary Dracos in each family.
There are many, many things we can do to reduce other Draconians' fundamental interest in mermaids.
Only by denying their value and reducing the Tianlong people's interest in them can we truly protect them, right?"
…
For a moment, the entire audience turned to stone again. Before Musgard could answer, the mermaids around him burst into tears again.
"We are really not worthy of being liked..."
"Will you get sick if you come in contact with us? Woohoo."
"We are hated..."
"Wow, we are so pitiful..."
Gawain couldn't help but rolled his eyes again. Even if these heartless little cuties were hurt, they didn't want to be disliked...
Maybe in their simple hearts, not being recognized and liked is the most terrifying thing in the world.
And aside.
When the mermaids started crying, Musgard slammed the table hard.
"Gawain!"
He said seriously.
"I know you have more ideas than me, but I can never do the methods you mentioned!
Because they are all members of Princess Otohime’s tribe!
Princess Otohime is so beautiful and kind, I can't do anything to harm her people!
Even if it’s just reputational slander!”
As soon as the words fell, Musgard suddenly stood up from the sofa and came to Gawain.
Plop!
He actually knelt down directly!
"Clan Chief Gawain, I know I am causing trouble for you, but I sincerely hope that you can complete the responsibilities that should be borne by me for me!
I will support you with all my strength. At least my share of all the treasures of my Don Quixote family can be handed over to you!
As long as the kind of trend you mentioned can be allowed to envelope Mariejoia, it is really possible for the murlocs to be completely saved!
Please, Chief Gawain!!!”
Boom!
Saint Musgarud's head hit the ground hard, and his behavior made Gawain, who was sitting on the sofa, feel dejected.
In just one day, I saw three kinds of Celestial Dragons...
One is an ordinary Draco like Charros.
One is a super celestial dragon in the form of the five old stars, holding the hero's script.
And now, I have seen a prodigal like Musgarud return, so much so that he can be called an overcorrected, selfless version of the Celestial Dragon...
And the race of Tianlong people suddenly gave Gawain a familiar feeling...
He really wanted to ask Musgarud, are you sure that the full name of your Celestial Dragons is not Uchiha Celestial Dragons?
You guys really like to go to extremes!
Thinking of this, Gawain smiled bitterly and helped Musgarud up.
While helping Musgarud to the sofa, he also said to the worried man.
"I promise you that I will try my best on this matter, but no matter how hard I try, it will take time to plan.
As for now, let’s talk about what we need to talk about first.”
He pointed to the mermaids on the side who were shocked when Musgarud knelt down, and continued.
"You told me before that you would take the opportunity to return the mermaid corpses to the Dragon Palace Kingdom and send these mermaids out of Mariejoia, right?"
After being reminded by Gawain like this, Musgard finally remembered the business.
I saw him thinking for a moment, and then nodded heavily.
"Yes, Chief Gawain, this is a very important matter!
This is also the biggest reason why I hope you visit me!"
Musgard clasped Gawain's hands tightly and spoke word by word.
"If I were the only one who took them away, the sight of dozens of beautiful mermaids appearing in Mariejoia at the same time would drive countless male Dracos into madness!
My face and name will never stop them!
And you, I saw that move of yours in the square before!
You made everyone faint at once.
Only you have that kind of ability, and only your move can stop those stupid Tianlong people from other families!
So, Chief Gawain, if I use all my future share of heavenly gold in exchange for your protection of me and these mermaids.
