Chapter 381: We Are Enemies, We Can Trade
After saying these words lightly, Arrow turned his head and glanced at Napa next to him.
The cat understood, and immediately flew up, stretching out its little claws at the mud.
"Wait! Wait a minute! ”
Finally, this "madman" seems to be starting to open his mind -
"You...... How dare you threaten me?! Do you know that your actions like this can only lead to a desperate situation for your garbage guild! ”
Arrow shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly, "Since letting you go or not letting you go is the worst outcome for our guild, then why should I let you go?" Is it all said and done? When that's done, please go back to your place. Well...... We'll talk about it in seven days, how about it. ”
As Arrow's words fell, the magic in Napa's flesh claws began to slowly condense.
...... in this regard
The magician, who had been very rampant just now, was now sitting opposite Arrow, clutching the table with both hands, and chirping, "You want to talk? Oh, that's good! Let's see what you have to talk about. ”
Napa turned her head to look at Arrow, but Arrow smiled slightly, "No, no, no, I think the differences between us are a little too big." So, let's talk about it in seven days. ”
"Whatever you want to talk about, we'll talk about it! That's it, right?! ”
As the expression on the magician's face gradually distorted, the smile on the corner of Arrow's mouth seemed so indifferent.
Although money can play a big role in this world, this feeling of being able to rely on strength to make the other party have to listen to you is really good.
It's just that...... It's not that stable.
For this person who finally wants to return to the negotiating table, Arrow is naturally willing to give both sides one more chance.
He smiled and nodded, and said slowly, "Mr. Muddy Swamp, let's analyze where the real contradiction between us is. At first glance, Cocoa's whereabouts seem to be the crux of the matter between the two of us. But in my opinion, that's not really the problem. ”
As Arrow had predicted, it was certainly impossible for those who were suppressed by power to submit sincerely. Although Shen Mu was sitting across from him now, that face didn't look like he wanted to talk about it.
Perhaps, he's now thinking about how to escape, and then gather more people from the True Eye to bring his guild together, right?
Arrow smiled, he didn't care what this person was thinking about now, he just continued to smile and say-
"What we really need in Merfolk Song is that Coco can continue to work in our guild. And what you need is not the little girl Coco, but the kind of necromantic magic she wields. In other words, you should care more about the power to communicate with death, and wish you could master necromancy yourself, right? ”
Arrow didn't know what the magician had been thinking before.
But when Arrow said that, he was sure what the magician was thinking about now.
Shen Mu's eyes that were constantly flickering and wandering gathered on Arrow's body for a moment, and he seemed a little surprised by the concept proposed by this president, but when he thought about it, he felt that it seemed to be true?
From this person's expression, Arrow knew that the other party's attention had begun to be attracted to him, and he continued: "Look, we originally thought that the contradictions between us were irreconcilable. But if we look closely, will we be able to find out where we don't conflict with each other? If Mr. Muddy Swamp agrees with this, then we have a reason to keep talking, don't we? ”
Shen Mu thought for a moment, and then, the eyes under the sparse hair glanced at Coco beside Arrow, and after thinking about it, he said slowly: "It sounds a little reasonable, but the necromantic magic still comes from this Death Girl's body." I don't have the energy to go find another necromantic affinity. ”
Arrow nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, of course~~~!" When we encounter a problem, we can try to subdivide things as much as possible, and then (harmoniously) simplify the treatment. Mr. Mud, according to my very rough understanding of such a thing as magic...... Mana should be storable, right? For example, if you imprint your magic on those scrolls, you can use them to release them whenever you need them. Or to concentrate the magic into a potion, and by using the potion, you can also use some interesting spells. Right? ”
Shen Ni's eyebrows raised slightly, and now this guy's eyes no longer drifted in the direction of the gate at all, but completely began to fall on Arrow's body. The expression was already fully anticipating what else the badge would say.
"Even so...... So what? ”
Arrow smiled and continued, "Do you know this kind of magic? The kind that attaches magic to the scrolls. ”
Shen Ni thought for a moment: "Yes, the shaping technique of magic." It's not very deep magic, but it's not that low. ”
Arrow nodded slightly, "That's good." Mr. Mud, I think we can negotiate a very interesting deal now. ”
Sinking mud: "...... You said? ”
Arrow: "That way, you can teach Coco this magic-shaping technique, and then let our necromancer learn how to attach her death power to the scroll." That way, you can leave with these scrolls, and we naturally reach a win-win situation between us, where you take the magic and I continue to get people. ”
The magician on the other side thought for a moment, then suddenly snorted and said, "Is it necessary to be so troublesome?" If I take the Daughter of Death away, won't I still be able to extract her magic? ”
Arrow didn't care either, and said with a smile: "Then may I ask, Mr. Sinking Mud, has your experiment of fusing the magic of nature and death been successful even once?" Ah, don't lie to me, as long as you know for yourself. ”
Shen Ni's face was a little dark, and he stopped talking.
Arrow smiled and continued, "If you've never succeeded, how sure are you that you'll succeed when Coco returns to you?" Moreover, Coco had already escaped once last time, and if you tie her back this time, can you guarantee that she won't want to escape again? Of course, I know that your True Eye will take the best precautions to protect it. But there's another thing, is that the magic you have forcibly extracted can be stronger than the magic that our little mage willingly gave you? ”
Seeing that Shen Mu was now completely silent, Arrow shook his head and smiled, "If you forcibly take Coco away, then her heart will definitely be uncomfortable." Even if you can extract death magic by forcibly extracting her blood, the past has proven that your success rate is not high. ”
"But, if you let her stay in our Merfolk Song, then you can come to us every once in a while, and I'll have Coco willingly infuse a large amount of necromantic magic into the scroll for you to take back. That way, your True Eye won't have to bother with this little girl at all, and you won't have to worry about her running away. You can even save a lot of money on food. You can come back when you're done with it, and we can give it to you again. ”
"Don't you think it's a win-win move for both of us?"
Listening to Arrow's words, Shen Ni's eyes began to flicker.
He looked up at Coco again, only to see that the necromancer was still curled up behind Arrow, looking very resistant to him.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Ni finally spoke, "What you said is beautiful. It may sound like a win-win, but what's in it for you guys? How do I know you won't hide this Dead Woman as soon as I'm gone? ”
"Hide? Why?! ”
Arrow showed a very surprised expression, and even said with a slight laugh on his face—
"We have no mermaid song? Wrong, our mermaid song can be a huge benefit! Mr. Muddy Swamp, aren't you here to get the magic scroll? Of course, this can't be taken for nothing. This also means that Mr. Mud, you need to pay a small amount of money every time you come to get the scroll, a very small amount of money~~~! You see, as long as you pay, then our mermaid song will be good, won't it? Since the mermaid song is good, and since I, the president, can make money through this method, then why should I hide Coco as you said? In fact, as long as you're willing to pay, I'm afraid I'll be looking forward to you every seven days! You can even buy a house in our town and settle down in our pelican town! Wouldn't that be easier? Our Pelican Town is currently being expanded, and there will definitely be a lot of places where we will use magicians in the future! There will be no shortage of ways for you to make money! ”
"As for the fees, our guild will definitely not charge the same price as the scrolls outside. As long as you buy it, we can discount it anytime and anywhere. Well...... According to the calculation of 7% off the market price, I think this price is already very good, how about it? ”
Familiar?
To the other members of Merfolk Song, these words sounded familiar. This kind of situation where you not only accept my offer, but also send me money, and in the end you feel that you have earned it is really familiar.
But now they are all used to it, and now they just need to quietly listen to their own president draw cakes.
The most important thing that Arrow wanted was for the magician to accept his advice directly.
But it turns out that magicians are more or less "highly educated", and there is always some self-awareness.
