Chapter 749: A Promise of Two Days
After buying all the ingredients, it was time to wait for Coco and the others to win and get back a piece of naΓ―ve necromantic magic. If it could, then maybe this "dead song" could actually be on the agenda.
However, the next most critical issue lies in the elemental machine materials that Tesla needs.
In order to make up for all this mess, Airo went through all the shops on the Enchanted Street and the ordinary streets, just so that he could buy the right materials on the list without arousing suspicion.
Finally, on the evening of the sixth day, I finally bought everything. The guild leader generally felt the pain of the empty flesh in his wallet, and at the same time had to disguise himself as if he didn't care, and "generously" "gifted" all the materials to the assembler.
ββββ
"President Arrow...... You...... Did you really have it all?! β
In the humble cabin, Tesla looked at the large bags of things that Arrow had brought over in disbelief, and his eyes showed great admiration!
Even Sevia next to her now showed a surprised attitude towards Airo, and at the same time, the unhappy mood in her eyes began to be mixed with a little respect.
"Look at it, is there anything missing? If it's not enough, I'll buy it for you. β
Hmph, if you still dare to say that you are missing something, try it! Do you dare to say that something is missing? You bastard, if you want to make a face, you can't say you're lacking! Not a single screw is missing!
"Please wait a minute, let me see......"
It's a pity that once the assembler saw his tools, he stopped observing the faces of others at all, and began to check the materials and tools.
This kind of performance made Arrow a little angry and funny, and he could only wait silently by the side.
While waiting for the assembler to check, Sevia on the other side glanced at Arrow stealthily, and then crept over and stood beside Arrow with a nonchalant expression.
"What's wrong?"
Arrow didn't mind, turning his head to look at the dancer while trying to fill his face with a smile as much as possible.
Sevia's cheeks flushed, her hands behind her back, her toes slightly raised and lowered, as if she was very hesitant.
After a stalemate of almost ten seconds, the girl finally raised her head proudly, as if she was going to look at others with her nostrils, and reluctantly said-
"That...... Thank you...... Oh. It's the first time I've seen Brother Tesla so happy since our guild was broken...... But don't get me wrong, I want to thank you because Brother Tesla is happy, I ...... I didn't mean to thank you! β
Before, Arrow thought that this young lady's personality might be a little problematic, but now that I look at it, this young lady is quite interesting.
"It's okay, it's okay! It would be nice to be able to help. Do you have enough money? I gave you a gold coin a week ago, and if it's not enough, I've got another gold coin here. β
As he spoke, Arrow pulled out another gold coin from his pocket. And when this gold coin went out of his palm, he was suddenly surprised that he had spent so much money? The feeling is because the previous 100 gold coins went down, causing me to start ignoring this Tesla?! If you think about it, I really regret it...... After making trouble for a long time, I also fell into this sunk cost and couldn't extricate myself......
Compared to the previous restraint, this time Sevia picked up the gold coin more easily and naturally. She took the gold coin from Arrow's palm very easily, smiled, and said, "In that case, then I will reluctantly help Brother Tesla accept it." Prices in the capital are really expensive, and I've always wanted to buy some good food and drink for Tesla's brother, and by the way, buy him a suitable outfit. After a while, I think we should be able to stop living in this shabby place, and we can find a hotel with Tesla's brother. β
The corners of Arrow's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly said, "You'd better be careful, don't think about staying in a hotel for the time being, so as not to be suspected." Wait until the two of you can walk down the street in the future, and then think about these issues. β
Sevia pouted, and she stood on her toes again, watching Tesla over there sifting through all the materials.
Seeing her look so focused on her lover, Arrow couldn't help but smile and said, "How long have you been joining the Origin Guild?" β
Sevia: "It's less than a year, though. But now that the guilds have been dismantled, I can't really stay in the guild for more than half a year. β
Arrow smiled: "You like your Tesla brother so much, then you have to work hard to learn more about elemental machines." Such good knowledge can't be understood by this guy alone. β
In response to Arrow's comment, Sevia sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to learn, it's really ...... Alas, it's a bit of a stretch to study. President Arrow, I have to go to the square every day to dance hard to make money, and at night I may go to some bars to dance and have fun, and when I earn money, I will use it for Tesla's brother when I come back. And after a long day of exhaustion, I can't learn much even if I want to......"
Arrow smiled and said, "With my sponsorship, you can at least have an easier time now." Moreover, for the sake of the spirit of the Origin Guild, and for the sake of your future development, it is best for you to learn more about elemental machines. Well...... I know this guy (pointing to Tesla) may not be very good at teaching, but you can start from the initial side and learn little by little. For example, the simplest principle is how to convert the power in those magic crystals into light or other uses......"
"Okay, okay, okay, don't say it, my head hurts a little bit......"
It's a pity that this dancer doesn't seem to be interested in Arrow's current "earnest teachings", so she directly raised her hand to cover her ears and didn't want to listen.
At this time, Tesla over there also counted all the materials and tools, nodded excitedly and said, "President Arrow, it's no problem at all!" Everything is in place, and I'll start making it! If nothing else, three days later...... No, two days! In two days I will be able to make a prototype! β
As a businessman, Iero knows exactly how much "promise" carries in such a thing.
Of course, this "portion"...... Hehe.
But when confronted with the assembler and heard the promise coming out of his mouth, Arrow felt as if he had received a guarantee that he could absolutely deliver.
This kind of guarantee is simply more real money than the security deposit, and it is more reassuring.
In response, Arrow smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Very good, I hope you won't disappoint me then." And then...... By the way, how much time do you think it will take to make a real ignition device that can be used after the prototype is made? And also...... How much more will it cost? β
Tesla could only smile helplessly: "What about this...... President Arrow, I'm afraid I can't answer this directly. All I can tell you is that I will do my best to do my best, so rest assured. β
With that said, there's nothing else to be done. After chatting with the two people from the Origin Guild and making sure that they didn't have any urgently needed supplies at the moment, Arrow also said goodbye to the two and agreed to meet in two days.
Leaving the shabby hut, Arrow felt his spirits seem to be much lighter.
He carried his hands behind his back, and his steps seemed very light.
Seeing that it was only noon, Arrow estimated the time, and thought that if he returned to the Great White Whale Hotel now, he might be able to see the members who had returned from completing their missions.
"Meow~~~"
As before, the pet cat once again pretended to be clingy, and kept circling around Arrow's feet.
Arrow could only smile bitterly, squatting down to pick it up, and rubbing it gently.
"Oh yes, I'll take you to one of the best cheese shops and buy you some of the best milk."
"Meow~~Meow~~!"
The pet cat was even happier as she burrowed into Arrow's arms, rubbing her head against his chest.
Walking out of the alley and out into the street, Iero casually found a dairy, blew on the cat about the so-called best cheese here, and then spent money on a small piece of cheap one and stuffed it into the cat's mouth.
The pet cat seemed very happy at first, but after a brief bite of it, it immediately looked at Arrow with a suspicious look, and then spit out the cheese in his mouth, and lay on Arrow's chest with two paws, staring at him fiercely.
"Attention, attention to the image!"
Arrow knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said with a half-joking smile.
At this time, the pet cat lay down in Arrow's arms again. After a moment of silence, it suddenly turned its head again and opened its little mouth at Eroβ
"It's still the same topic I said before, do you really think you'd rather die than be Mother Earth?"
Arrow burst out laughing, lowered his voice, and said softly, "I said, why do you want me to be the Mother of the Earth?" Do you think I'm such a great person? β
The pet cat tilted its head and thought for a moment, then said, "Not everyone is born great. Great because you did great things. β
