Even if everything goes well, then there are about fifty gold coins left, and in these fifty gold coins, you have to remove labor costs, time costs, and marketing activities with those magic crystal sellers, and the number that can really be left may really not be much.

So from the bottom of my heart, Arrow really didn't want to take on this task.

But seeing the expectant expression of round cheese in front of him, he thought about it, and then showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "Boss, what about this...... I'm not saying that our guild doesn't want to take it, but as you know, our guild is still facing the Guild Championship at the end of this year, so there may be a little less time...... It's impossible for someone to sell such a large piece of magic crystals and come to a small town like ours with them, so if I want to buy them, I may need to send someone to the big magic goods trading market in the big city to buy them. It's a lot of time and effort, so look at the price......"

When talking about feelings, Mayor Round Cheese can be full of feelings.

But as soon as it came to money, the mayor's face immediately put on a look of embarrassment.

Of course, two years have passed, and Arrow knows exactly what kind of person he is.

"President Arrow, you see, our town has been developing recently, but there is really a bottleneck in the speed of development, and it is impossible to come up with more money at once, you know that, right?"

Arrow's brows were also slightly furrowed, showing a very embarrassed expression, and he said slowly: "But...... The labor required here is indeed a bit beyond its means. Our guild is in dire need of money right now, and this kind of thing ......"

Speaking of this, the mayor's brows began to tangle, showing a very embarrassed expression. At that moment, Arrow sighed again and said slowly, "Or...... So be it. Boss, how about we make a deal between us? ”

"Deal?"

As soon as he heard the deal, the mayor's brow immediately relaxed. After all, from the beginning of the past to the present, the transaction with the mermaid song is generally quite cost-effective-

"Yes, you can! What is the deal? Tell me about it? ”

Arrow smiled and continued, "The biggest dealer in Pelican Town is that old man with sugar-coated wine, right?" After all, they took out 5,000 gold coins directly as the start-up capital for our town. ”

Round Cheese thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.

"On the other hand, the purchase of the element machine is also operated with this start-up capital. But well...... I have this idea. ”

After a slight pause, Arrow observed the mayor's face and made sure he didn't have any strange expressions before continuing—

"I thought, can you issue a delegated transfer of usufruct and exclusivity in the name of Pelican Town? What's the specific...... It's not a big deal either. This means that all the elemental machine related matters in Pelican Town will be handled by our Mermaid Song. This includes maintenance, repairs, buying mana crystals, reloading, and more. ”

"Of course! I don't mean to embezzle Pelican Town's assets, anyway, the Elemental Machine is also an asset of Pelican Town. Therefore, the ownership of the items related to the Elemental Machine can not be given to me, and we only need a clause in Mermaid Song that can exclusively operate the Elemental Machine in Pelican Town, make our town full of light, and refuse to allow others to interfere in the matter of the Elemental Machine again. ”

"Look...... How about such a contract? ”

Listening to Arrow's rambling words earlier, the round cheese looked a little confused. He frowned, tilted his head and thought for a long time before shaking his head slightly and saying, "This...... Seems a bit tricky, right? All for your merfolk songs? So what if anything happens in the future, if you Mermaid Song doesn't activate the elemental machine? ”

Arrow smiled, with a completely relaxed expression, and said with a smile: "This is simple, you can stipulate in the contract that our Mermaid Song cannot interfere with the normal use of the town's elemental machine. Actually, I wanted such a contract so that I could have a better way to bargain for the purchase of mana crystals in the future. ”

Round cheese: "How to bargain?" ”

Arrow nodded and said with a smile, "With such a contract, then I can prove to those magic merchants that our guild has the absolute right to decide on the elemental machine." It also proves that our guild also has bargaining power and final decision on what kind of magic crystals to buy. In this way, it can also be more convenient for us to bargain. In case the time comes to talk about the back, the other party directly says, 'I can't tell you clearly, let your mayor come and talk to me!' That's a pretext. ”

The mayor of Pelican Town may not be very smart, but he is not stupid.

After all, I've been with Arrow for two years, and no matter how dull I am in these two years, I should be able to clearly understand what kind of person this president is.

Signing a contract that is entirely about liability? Is this kind of thing going to be done in Mermaid Song?

But on the other hand, all the natives, including Round Cheese, really don't know much about magic, and if they really want to buy magic crystals themselves, there is still a high chance of being caught.

In addition, after getting along for such a long time, although Mermaid Song loves money very much, it generally belongs to a guild that works in Pelican Town and gets along very well with the neighbors.

Based on this, Mayor Round Cheese nodded lightly and said, "This matter is somewhat important, I think it needs to be brought up at the next regular town meeting for everyone to discuss and discuss." If there is no problem, there is no problem for you. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Arrow's face became even stronger. He nodded again and again, fully agreeing with this proposal: "Of course, after all, the elemental machine is the asset of our entire town, let's have a meeting to discuss, it should be, it should be!" So that's it? ”

Round cheese: "Good! It's set! ”

At this point, Arrow couldn't help but show a sad smile, shook his head, sighed and said, "Alas...... Now the work of our guild is going to increase again...... Alas......"

Purpose, achieved!

At this point, Arrow felt that his request should be no different from being met.

The regular meeting of the town is basically a meeting of some respected old men gathered together, can the townspeople understand the rules and regulations? At that time, as long as you draw up a contract that roughly seems to have no impact on Pelican Town, read it aloud in public, and explain it a little, I believe that it is definitely a high probability event to pass!

As for getting the exclusive right to use the Elemental Machine in Pelican Town, then there are more options to make money next. And it is possible that the money will go purely into his own pocket, and when the time comes, he only needs to take out a little fur to satisfy the mayor and the others.

However, there is another premise in this, that is, the element machine cannot be satisfied with just such a single function as lighting.

Of course, there were so many twists and turns in Arrow's stomach, so it was naturally impossible for the mayor of Round Cheese in front of him to notice.

After saying the first thing, the mayor moved his fat ass slightly from the high chair again, smiled and picked up the tea, and took a sip.

"Oh yes~~~ It's really rare to relax~~~ Alas, when I think that there may be a lot of work waiting for me after I go back, I don't even have time to open the pie shop inherited from our family, so I want to spend more time here with President Arrow."

Arrow couldn't help but smile, turned the pen in his hand, and said, "Mr. Mayor, don't always be lazy with me. How? Have you been working so much lately? ”

The round cheese face showed a happy and slightly tired smile, nodded slowly, and said, "Oh, work!" There are always more and more! President Arrow, I'm starting to regret the business I did with you now. ”

The corners of Arrow's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Which one?" ”

The chubby mayor immediately leaned back, opened his arms, made a gesture of embracing the air, and said, "It's the same business you did when you first came to our town!" It's just fifteen gold coins, fifteen gold coins! I'm going to sell you the biggest, most imposing house in our town! Not only is it a two-storey duplex, but it even has a basement and a warehouse at the back! Do you know what price the property in our town sells for now? Tut-tut, just an ordinary one-bedroom building, the kind of one room, will sell for ten gold coins! ”

Arrow laughed, not very concerned about this, and said with a smile: "It seems that the recent economic situation in our Pelican Town is really good?" Are there so many people who come to settle in our town? ”

Round cheese clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking very happy: "It's not!" I remember when you first arrived, the total population of our town was just over 500. But last week, the population of our town had exceeded a thousand, and it was heading straight for a thousand five! So many people are buying houses in our town and trying to settle down, and these days, just the payment papers for the residents are piling up in my office, and I haven't had time to sign them yet. You said! If this continues, will our town soon return to the same hot scene as before? I believe that by the end of this year, our town may be able to break away from the town and evolve into a city! ”

Looking at the smiling appearance of Round Cheese now, although Arrow was also smiling on the surface, he had some bad feelings in his heart.
