Ch 221: Sincerity Is The Ultimate Move When Dealing With Someone Who Needs Your Help

Bal arrived at the Council Hall, learned at the front desk that Councilman Sheffield was in, and Bal directly used his pass to go to Sheffield’s Office.

“Oh? Buck. What’s up this time?”

Seeing Bal standing at the door, Sheffield gestured for Bal to sit down.

“Indeed, I would like to trouble you again.”

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect there to be anything that could trouble you. Go ahead, what is it?”

“I plan to personally guarantee bail for a Druid imprisoned in the Prison, and intend to pursue charges of burglary against a certain Reporter.”

Sheffield quickly understood; it was yesterday’s case concerning the Great Gryphon injuring someone. Because it was rather uncommon, the Council Members all knew about it.

“Oh? You mean that Druid who keeps Monsters is someone you know?”

“Not for very long, but his ideas are good, and they do have some effect.”

“I suppose you have Interests in that as well.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Hahaha, every time you come to me, you actually want me to endorse you officially, don’t you? Think about the Guild Master election, the School construction.”

Sheffield stood up; his back was to Bal, and he looked up at the Portrait hanging on the wall.

“It seems my purpose is too obvious, I’ll be more careful next time.”

“It’s alright, you’ve brought some new things to the town, I’m happy about that. So what Interests do you have with this Druid this time?”

“I’m thinking, if he can tame the Great Gryphon, wouldn’t it be possible to develop some Business around the Great Gryphon, such as Air Transport?”

“Interesting, continue.”

Sheffield showed an interested expression. He poured Bal a cup of tea and let him continue.

“Air Transport, although the single transportation volume is still less than that of a Carriage, it wins in speed and safety. This is more suitable for the transportation of important Items.”

“How do you guarantee that it’s really safe?”

“Firstly, there are few Monsters that can move freely in the air, and the Great Gryphon is one of the stronger ones. Individuals above that generally have their own territories. As long as you don’t trespass into the territories of those dangerous individuals, moving in the air is indeed safer than on land. And I’ve ridden a Great Gryphon, I guess you’ll receive news of someone descending from the sky on a Great Gryphon in a while.”

“Hmm, that’s a good idea. But that’s not your real idea, is it?”

Sheffield narrowed his eyes at Bal. Having lived for so many years and holding such a high position, he could naturally see certain things.

“……There’s also one more thing.”

“Speak.”

“I previously promised to get my Daughter a Great Gryphon cub as a Pet. If I lock Archie up at this time and execute the Great Gryphon, wouldn’t I become a Lord who breaks his promises?”

Hearing Bal’s true thoughts, Sheffield was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“Hahahahahahahaha, good, as expected of you, you always make me happy. Alright, I’ll have someone release this Archie you mentioned and issue him a Permit.”

“I’m truly grateful. However…”

“Is there anything else?”

“Regarding the Two People who committed burglary…”

“Don’t worry, I will send someone to arrest and interrogate those two people and sentence them. Guangyue Town cannot tolerate such minor flaws!”

“Then I’ll feel relieved.”

Bal stood up and bowed to Sheffield, then turned to leave. At this time, Sheffield called out to Bal.

“Wait a minute.”

“Is there anything else?”

“How is the School doing?”

“Everything is fine, the Students are all working hard.”

“Hahaha, then I’ll rest assured, you can go back.”

“Okay, then I’ll take my leave.”

Bal left the Council Hall; he walked on the way back to the Guild.

“Phew, it’s good that he didn’t give me a hard time or disagree. If the old Council Member doesn’t plan to arrest anyone, then I can rest assured to take action.”

Bal stretched his wrists, then returned to the Guild.

“Guildmaster Buck, Miss Fei’er is waiting for you in the Office.”

“Ah? What is she doing here?”

“I don’t know, she told me to get you to the Office immediately when I see you.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Bal stopped at the door.

“I’ve taken you out a few times recently, today you should shirk less Responsibilities, little things haven’t been hidden well, if Selena sees it, I can’t stop her.”

“I know, hurry up, hurry up.”

Bal walked into the Office; Phia was sitting on the Sofa waiting for him.

“What’s up, so urgent, Anda even had to guard and notify me?”

Bal sat beside Phia; he was about to hug Phia, but Phia dodged.

“Where have you been?”

“I went to the Council Hall.”

“Didn’t you forget something?”

Bal pondered for a moment, then stood up.

“Damn it, I forgot to buy Annie something to eat!”

“Pfft, you still have some memory. Sit down, I’ll go with you later.”

Phia patted the seat beside her, and Bal sat down.

“So what does my dear Wife want from me?”

Bal sat down and wanted to hug Phia again, Phia didn’t bother to dodge and simply sat on Bal’s lap.

“Before you came back, I went to the Hospital.”

“Oh? What did the Doctor say?”

“Doctor.”

“……?”

“Just kidding.”

Seeing Bal being played by herself, Phia laughed.

“So what did the Doctor actually say?”

“Seriously injured, just escaped Life-threatening danger, still unconscious. I don’t need to intervene. But I still got some Information.”

“What Information?”

“The Reporter is a Friend of the seriously injured person, named Cade, and it is said that Cade came up with the idea of theft.”

“Cade, huh, I see. But you got this Information? You didn’t peek into his Memory, did you?”

Hearing Bal’s question, Phia seemed a little irritated.

“Huh? Don’t say it like I’m a memory peeping Tom, besides, I don’t have Magic that can check people’s memories.”

“Then how did you know this while he was unconscious?”

“It’s not wrong to call you stupid. Of course, it’s by using Magic to wake the person up.”

“Uh…ah?”

“I just used Magic to forcibly wake the person up, making him wake up in pain.”

“Is it true?”

“He wouldn’t dare to lie.”

“Aren’t you afraid he’ll recant?”

“If he dares to recant, then I dare to make him socially dead. Look at this.”

Phia took a spherical Magic Item from her Waist Pouch and placed it in Bal’s hand.

“What is this?”

“A recording. I recorded the conversation I had with him in the Ward, if he dares to recant, I’ll release it.”

“It’s still you.”

Bal kissed Phia’s face, then stood up.

“Alright, let’s go buy some food for Annie.”

“Mhm～”

Bal and Phia held hands and walked out of the Office, ignoring Anda who was shirking Responsibilities, and walked straight out of the Guild. Anda, startled by Bal and Phia, said angrily towards the Gate.

“Really, why scare people like that!”

“Oh? If you worked seriously, you wouldn’t be scared, Anda.”

Selena suddenly spoke, this time Anda was really scared to death.

“Miss Se…Selena, good morning.”

“Morning, shirk less Responsibilities, work hard.”

“Yes!”

Atlantis.

Nia and Grey were sightseeing the Undersea Rift; the starlight-like highlights emanating from the depths of the Undersea Rift fascinated the Two People.

“It’s so magnificent.”

“Yeah, it’s like looking down at the stars.”

Heitham stood aside; she said to the two.

“Both of you, it’s time to go to the next sightseeing spot.”

“Wow, Grey, let’s go!”

“Slow down, Nia, no one is competing with you.”

Grey looked at the lively Nia; he shook his head helplessly, turned to Heitham, and said.

“I’m sorry, for making you accompany me out.”

“It’s alright, that Heine left me alone in the Royal City for so long, she should work hard too. Being your guide this time is also a good way for me to relax.”

“Where is the next Place?”

“Coral Warm Sea.”
