Chapter 2623 Change of Guerrilla (I Like to Roll Around with Puppets)

"It's finally here at Crossbell!"

Walking into the city gate, the girl with brown ponytails raised her hands happily and cheered. The black-haired boy beside her smiled helplessly and sighed.

"There's no need to be so exaggerated."

"Of course, although I've heard that Crossbell is a beautiful city, I didn't expect it to be even more beautiful than I imagined. Look, look, is that the Starlight Tower?"

The brown-haired girl excitedly grabbed the hand of the black-haired boy, and at the same time pointed to the tall tower that reached into the sky in the distance.

"It's really tall. I never expected to see such a tall tower on the ground, and those huge airships..."

"Estier, let's go to the Guerrilla Association first."

Seeing the excited look of the brown-haired girl, the black-haired boy dissuaded with a wry smile.

"Don't forget, we are still traveling."

"Ah, um... woo... I also want to visit the Starlight Technology headquarters here... Forget it, let's go to the Guerrilla Association first."

It is not difficult to find out the location of the Guerrilla Association, but what puzzled Estier and Joshua was that after hearing that they were looking for the Guerrilla Association and that they were Guerrilla, many Everyone showed some weird expressions. Even so, they enthusiastically showed the two of them the way, and it didn't take long for Estier and Joshua to arrive at the Guerrilla Association on East Street.

but……………

"what happened?"

Walking through the gate, the first thing you see are people coming and going, but these are not commissioners or guerrillas, on the contrary, they look like ordinary workers. The men were seen packing items and lifting cardboard boxes out of the room as if they were moving.

……………move place? !

"oops?"

At this moment, behind the counter, a strong man dressed like a woman saw Estier and Joshua, and suddenly smiled.

"I'm really sorry, is it the client? Sorry, we can't work at the moment..."

"No, no, we are guerrillas!"

Although she was frightened by the aura of the man in front of her when she met her, Estier hurried to the counter and shouted loudly.

"We are here to report..."

"Ah, by the way, I got a call..."

Hearing what the two said, the man showed a sudden realization expression, but soon he looked at the two with a helpless smile on his face.

"I'm really sorry, I should have notified you earlier, and let you make this trip for nothing..."

"No, no, it's nothing, I want to know, what's going on?"

"This..."

Hearing Estier's question, the man in disguise sighed, and then he glanced at the hall in front of him with a melancholy expression.

"...Although it's hard to tell, but...the Crossbell Branch of the Guerrilla Association is about to be completely closed."

"Hey... hey hey!!!?"

Hearing this, Esther suddenly screamed.

At the same time, a lazy voice sounded from outside the door.

"I just heard that this voice is so familiar. It turned out to be Estier. You haven't got rid of your surprise?"

Fangzheng walked in while rubbing his ears, complaining at the same time.

"Mr. Fangzheng!"

Seeing Fangzheng, Esther screamed again, but quickly reacted, waved at him, and then hurriedly turned her head to look at the man in disguise again.

"What's going on? Why is the Crossbell Association closing down?"

"Because there is no business."

The man in women's clothing sighed helplessly again.

"No business? How is this possible? Don't the citizens of Crossbell need the help of guerrillas?"

"hehe."

Facing Estier's question, the man in disguise smiled, and then he looked at Fangzheng.

"You'd better go ask the consul about this matter."

“………………???”

"Okay, come up, I just have something to ask you."

Fangzheng unceremoniously requisitioned the second floor of the Guerrilla Association, and then he, Ellie, Estier, and Joshua came to the meeting room on the second floor, and then Fangzheng also heard about it from Estier. the reason they came here.

"So you came here to practice in order to become true guerrillas... Didn't you perform well in the Ring of Radiance incident? Isn't that enough?"

"Of course not, Mr. Fangzheng."

Joshua hastily explained.

"Although our branch in Liber has been recognized, we still need more experience as guerrillas. Basically, we have to go to all branches..."

"Guerrillas are really troublesome..."

Hearing Joshua's answer, Fangzheng couldn't help but click his tongue. Thanks to Lao Tzu's choice of a promising career as a killer, otherwise he wouldn't know where he would be helping someone find a cat right now.

"However, your luck is really bad. The Crossbell Guerrilla Association has already been confirmed to be abolished."

"This, why is this?"

"Didn't you say the reason just now? Estelle?"

Fangzheng looked at Estier with a smile.

"Because the citizens of Crossbell don't need the help of guerrillas."

"……………Hey?"

Hearing this unexpected answer, Estier couldn't help being stunned.

"In Liber, people may still go to the Guerrilla Association for help when they have difficulties, but in Closbell, now even children know that they have difficulty finding the police... So, the Guerrilla has been replaced, so the Guerrilla The association has no meaning anymore."

Fangzheng spread his hands.

"Without someone entrusting it, the Guerrilla Association will not be able to make money, and if it cannot make money, it will not be able to maintain its operation. If it cannot maintain its operation, it will have to close down. This is very simple."

"Woo..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Estier pouted dissatisfiedly.

"That policeman, why are you robbing our guerrillas of their jobs?"

"What do you mean by robbing your jobs?"

Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.

"The police are responsible for maintaining law and order in the city. Naturally, they have to help the people and maintain order. This is their job."

"Yes, but this is not the case in other places..."

Estier was so anxious that she was speechless. Although she was not very smart and could not understand what Fang Zheng said, she knew that her career seemed to be in crisis!

"That's right, that's not the case in other places... Well, except for the Empire. But why do you think it won't be the case in other places?"

Fang Zheng leaned back on the chair and looked at the two of them.

"By the way, for the sake of your good relationship with me, I need to remind you that maybe in a few decades, the guerrilla profession will completely disappear from the continent of Samria."

"This is impossible!!!"

Hearing this, Esther slammed the table and jumped up, and Joshua hurriedly held her down.

"Estil, don't be impulsive, listen to what Mr. Fangzheng has to say."

"Uh... alright."

Faced with Joshua's persuasion, Estelle reluctantly nodded, then sat down and looked at Fangzheng angrily. And Fangzheng laughed, and then said.

"Don't feel wronged. In fact, this is our job. Strictly speaking, the guerrillas took our jobs."

"………Hey?"

"Let's put it this way, you should know that citizens are obliged to pay taxes."

"this……………"

Estelle and Joshua looked at each other and nodded.

"Then do you know where the citizens' tax money goes?"

"Woo..."

"It should be about the operation of the government and urban governance."

Compared to Estier who was confused and eyes circled, Joshua seemed very calm.

"That's right, governing the city... That is to say, they pay taxes, and we naturally have to take responsibility. You see, it's like you go to a hotel to stay. Since you paid for the accommodation, you will definitely get the hotel The service of a servant. If you have paid the accommodation fee, you have to spend an extra sum of money to hire someone to serve you, it would be strange."

"Of course it's strange, but... are we talking about the same thing?"

Estelle thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong.

"The essence is the same. In the past, the country mainly focused on military affairs and left civilian affairs to the guerrilla association. I cannot agree with this approach. Moreover, the police and soldiers are also different. The main duty of the soldiers is to protect the country and protect the country. The people. The duty of the police is mainly to serve the people, protect their safety, and maintain social order and law.”

Fangzheng spread his hands.

"By the way, the police do not need to be paid to serve the citizens. They have fixed wages—and the source of these wages is the citizens' taxes, which means that this is also part of urban governance. Do you understand now? "

"Woo... this... I still don't understand..."

Estier's face was still covered, while Joshua frowned slightly and remained silent.

"Times are developing. The guerrilla association may have been necessary at first, but now, with the progress of the times, it can be said that the guerrilla association itself has not kept up with the changes of the times and the system."

While talking, Fangzheng stood up.

"By the way, the guerrillas in Crossbell have basically been absorbed into the police force by us, and they are also very satisfied with their current lives. As for you... Well, I have to say that this is a very bad start, but it's not a bad start. It's not completely impossible, so I have a proposal."

"………proposal?"

"That's right."

Looking at Estier and Joshua, Fangzheng smiled slightly.

"From now on, you can go to work at the Crossbell Police Station in the name of auxiliary police. The main task is to patrol around and help the people solve their problems. Of course, I want to remind you that you can't get paid, and you The remuneration will be paid on a monthly basis... If your performance is satisfactory enough, I will issue a certificate to you instead of the Crossbell Guerrilla Association, is this okay?"

"this……………"

Hearing this, the two were silent for a moment.

"If there is no problem with the Guerrilla Association..."

Of course there is no problem with the Guerrilla Association.

After hearing Fang Zheng's proposal, that sissy quickly called the headquarters, and got confirmation from the other party. Then Fang Zheng signaled for Ellie to take the two of them to the Crossbell Police Station, while he strolled back to the Starlight Tower.

Ellie brought Estier and Joshua to the Cross Bell Police Station.

As a government agency in Crossbell City, it has of course been renovated. Walking through the gate, the first thing the two of them saw was the spacious and tidy hall, the counter, and the chairs placed by the wall.

"Wow, what a style..."

Looking around, Estier couldn't help but sighed, while Ellie brought the two of them to the counter with a smile on her face.

"Ah, Miss Allie."

Seeing Ellie's appearance, behind the counter, a girl with twin ponytails and a police uniform stood up hastily.

"Is there anything you need help?"

"Is such that……………"

Ellie told the girl with two ponytails about Estier and Joshua.

"...Therefore, Mr. Fang Zheng allowed them to temporarily take up positions at the Cross Bell Police Station as auxiliary police officers."

"I see."

The girl with twin ponytails nodded, then she lowered her head and looked carefully at the computer screen.

"Miss Lin is currently following the first search section. Since they are auxiliary police, how about letting them follow the patrol team that Miss Aiolia is in?"

"no problem."

Ellie nodded, then looked at the two of them.

"Then it's decided."
