"A thousand gold coins, not a little."

It's a pity that Arrow's lion is far from what this man who has only studied magic all his time and doesn't know how to bargain with people is good at.

"What? A thousand?! Why don't you grab it?! ”

In the face of Eddie's struggle, Arrow was still so relaxed and happy, and said with a smile: "First of all, I just said, because Mr. Eddie's sabotage this time will cause our town's income to fall into a loss. You must always keep this in mind, I am not asking you for money on behalf of Mermaid Song, but on behalf of our town. Not a single piece of gold you pay will go into my pocket. So for a small town's income, 500 gold coins is the most basic, this number is not an exaggeration at all, right? ”

While Eddie was confused, Arrow continued, "After that, the remaining 500 gold coins need to be used to repair the Elemental Machine and Elemental Lamp that you destroyed. Of course, I know you don't think it will cost that much money, but don't forget, this brand new elemental machine has only been purchased in our town for less than a month and is going to be repaired, and it has become a defective repair! ”

"When you buy something, do you think that a repaired thing should be sold for the same price as the original thing? Something that has been repaired must be discounted, right? Even if something new has just left the factory in the morning and has to be repaired in the afternoon, then it should not be a brand new price when it comes to sale. ”

Therefore, in addition to the maintenance costs, these 500 gold coins also include the depreciation costs of the Elemental Machine and the Elemental Lamp. Given that we've only been buying it for less than a month, it's completely understandable that the depreciation fee is a little more expensive. ”

"Above, these two expenses add up to a total of 1,000 gold coins, which I think is very reasonable, and it is less than two gold coins for everyone in our town. So dear Mr. Eddy, how are you going to pay? Is there cash available? We welcome cash, and our mayor especially loves shiny gold coins. ”

After this series of calculations came out, Eddie's eyes almost turned white.

Looking at the age of this magician, 1,000 gold coins is definitely not a small amount even for a magician!

He was obviously a flame mage, but now his hands and feet began to become cold, and his whole body trembled slightly. His eyes began to wander around restlessly, and his mind fell into a state of anxiety.

"This ...... The price is just too expensive! ”

Arrow smiled: "It's a lot of money for a person, but for a small town, I don't think it's a big loss. ”

Eddie rubbed his hands and licked his lips: "That'...... Can it be cheaper? I don't really have that much money...... Even if I were asked to borrow it, I wouldn't be able to borrow so much! ”

But Arrow said that there was nothing he could do, spread his hands, and said, "I can only ask you for a loss on behalf of our town, but I don't have the power to lower the price." What if someone in our town doesn't agree? In the end, it may be on my head to make up for it with the mermaid's song. I already think it's a bit cheap. Alas...... Therefore, when people go out, no matter what, don't damage the public things casually. That's a lot of money at every turn. ”

"That'...... That and that ......! It's clear that Eddie is already in a hurry, and once a person is in a hurry, he starts to lose his rules, "So is there any other way?" The association will not agree to help me with so much money......"

Arrow shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to have other methods, but the reality doesn't allow it. Now, our town's needs are simple, we just want tonight's Valentine's Day party to go ahead. As long as this can be achieved, we will not have any additional opinions. But now that we have decided to make yellow, we can only ask you to lose money to make up for the loss of our town. ”

Brad, Parfay, Cream, and Coco all know that at such times, they just need to stand next to them like statues.

And they are used to this kind of thing, and sometimes these members even feel that even their own background statues can not exist at all, and they just let their own president go up and fool people.

Look, how cute is this cute little flame mage being fooled? The look in his eyes was completely like wanting to kneel on the ground and beg for help.

However, what really shocked these four members was not how much their own president could say. And under these words, this flame mage is now making a move that they didn't expect at all!

"You...... Can this thing be fixed? ”

Eddie, who was pale, pointed to the tattered pipe over there with one hand, and lifted Tesla up with the other hand, and said this with a sincere face.

In this regard, the corners of Arrow's mouth still only smiled.

Because of the interests.

As long as the interests are big enough and heavy enough, then driven by interests, human beings are often able to break through many boundaries that they think they will never break through, and can do a lot of things that they thought they would never have done in the past.

After all......

Interests will never go out of style.

Tesla's expression, how to say it? It should be as arrogant as you can be.

In the face of Eddie's request, the smile on the installer's face could not be suppressed at all, and it was revealed very unceremoniously.

"Hah! Repair? Hehe, are you begging me? Ha! Your Excellency Royal Wizards Guild, are you trying to find a way to beg me right now? Hahaha! ”

Eddie's face was blue and white, and it could be seen that his emotions were a little excited, but he suppressed them well, and said again: "Just say, can you successfully fix this thing?" ”

Originally, Tesla was still tied up and struggling, but now he was simply lying on the ground, looking like he wouldn't get up even if he was killed. He tilted his head, thought about it for a while, and smiled, "You beg me?" Are you begging me? Hahaha! Can it be fixed? Hey, look at my face, do I look like the kind of person who asks me a word or two and I'll agree? ”

Seeing this, Eddie hurriedly reached out to untie the rope tied to Tesla's body. The installer was still lying on the ground, no matter what Eddie said, he looked painless. It seems that he is really planning to take a good breath of the previous evil breath.

"Hey, Mr. Eddie, have you decided?"

Arrow looked at the sky, and the expression on his face looked a little embarrassed-

"If there's really no way to fix it, then there's no way, and our party should be almost over, right? If you really can't do it, I won't embarrass you, tomorrow you will continue to take this Mr. Tesla back to the capital to resume your life, and in a few days we in Pelican Town will also go to the capital to complain in person, so that it will be simpler for all of us. ”

Lying on the ground, Tesla, who had just won a match, suddenly turned his head and looked at Arrow's face full of surprise: "President Arrow? What do you mean? What do you mean that I am going to be kidnapped by him and taken to the capital to return to life? ”

Airo also showed a slightly strange expression and said, "What, is there anything wrong with this?" Your personal safety has nothing to do with me, I only care about the interests of our Pelican Town. When did you get the illusion that everything I just did was helping you? ”

At this moment, Tesla was completely stunned on the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly got up and rushed to Eddie's face, grabbed his collar with both hands and said, "Hey! I'll help you, can you not catch me?! ”

Eddie was slightly stunned, his eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately smiled, nodded and said, "Of course, of course!" You helped me, how could I catch you again? Believe me, we magicians don't lie. ”

Tesla is a little hesitant about Eddie's current promise. After a moment of silence, he still didn't seem to be able to really believe the magician's words, and instead turned his head to look at Arrow on this side.

"Rest assured, I believe this magician's words are not a lie. After all, people who can become magicians must have this kind of literacy~~~"

Arrow smiled, trusting Eddie's words.

This feeling of trust also made the smile on the flame mage's face even more "exaggerated", and he nodded harder and said, "So, trust me!" As long as you can fix this thing, I'm sure I won't get you back to the capital. You have to believe me on this! ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Tesla, you can trust Mr. Eddie Invincible."

Arrow gave a thumbs up, expressing his absolute "trust", and said with a smile-

"If the people of the capital know that he, the magician of the Royal Society, turns around and assists you, the maker of the elemental machine, in researching how to fix an elemental machine, then I believe he will not be able to eat and walk around. Such a big loophole is here, so it is absolutely impossible for him to talk back. ”

In a word, the expression of the magician who was still piling up "laughter" on his face just now froze for a while. He glanced away at Arrow, the smile on his face starting to look a little awkward. After a while, he could only sigh softly, his smile turned into a bitter smile, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, you believe me, I will never arrest you again." This, I assure you in my capacity as a magician. ”

With Eero's testimony, Tesla looked at this magician again, and he was more or less convinced. But before he could say another word, Arrow on the side raised his head again and looked at the sky, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Alas~~~ Time is almost over?" Soon everything we said was useless~~~ Forget it, we still should arrest people, arrest those who should be arrested, and beg for money~~~"
