September...... There is less than half a year to go.

But looking at the chain of funds in his hands, to be honest, if he continues to make money at the current rate, Arrow feels that he should be able to barely complete his goal.

As long as...... In the next six months, there should be no more messy incidents.

While thinking, Arrow took the pen and gently tapped the various numbers on the book.

In any case, the growth of funds in the past two months has been the fastest. It's a really nice feeling to see that the money on my books is getting more and more every day.

Looking at these numbers, and thinking about the piles of golden coins in the safe, the corners of Arrow's mouth couldn't help but put a smile on his lips.

"Yo! President Arrow, what are you so happy about? ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly brought Arrow's happy self-congratulatory time to an end.

When I looked up, I saw that the chubby mayor of Round Cheese was now appearing at the door of the guild with a round face. Judging by that expression...... Well, it shouldn't be any bad news coming to me.

"Boss, business has been booming lately?"

Arrow put down his pen and smiled brightest.

The mayor laughed while holding his bulging belly, then nodded, walked in, sat down on a high stool in front of the counter, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is also thanks to the fact that the song of the mermaid attracted the flower fairies in our town!" Because of the flower fairies, the daily flow of people in our town is really rising! I don't have much time to make pies every day, and even if the price is raised, some people buy them, hahaha! It's really fun, it's so happy! ”

Being able to make money can make a lot of things easy to communicate.

So Arrow felt that it would not be a bad thing for his guild to make money in this town. This is not? The mayor has always been very cooperative.

Arrow smiled and said, "No, no, no, how can it be just the credit of our guild?" To be able to make Pelican Town develop to the point where it is now, our guild is at most just pulling a line and building a bridge. What really makes us all rich is because of the good leadership of our mayor! ”

After a little boasting, the mayor's eyes immediately narrowed into a slit with laughter. He raised his hand, slapped his thigh heavily, nodded and smiled, "Oops, President Arrow is really good at talking!" Don't be modest, we all know your merits, so don't say polite words again! ”

Looks like it's time to get down to business.

Arrow nodded, continuing to put a smile on his face. He brought a teapot and poured a cup of hot water for the mayor, and said with a smile: "So now, boss, are you here to bring me some good business to make money?" ”

Round cheese took a sip of tea and said, "Good business...... It's not a good business, but it's not bad. Then again, your guild should be responsible for this matter itself. ”

After taking another sip of water, Round Cheese nodded lightly and said slowly: "Actually, President Arrow, you should have seen it during this time, in June last year, our town once added an element machine for expansion, do you still have an impression of this matter?" ”

As soon as he spoke of the elemental machine, Arrow turned his head to look out the window. At this point, an elemental lamp is now erected on the street outside the window.

"Look at what you said, how could I have forgotten this?"

Round Cheese nodded and continued, "Yes, over the past year, the Elemental Machine has provided a lot of lighting for our town, and it is also very convenient. At night, our Pelican Town is arguably the brightest of the few nearby towns. Even Lagoon City, where Lord Norris is located, isn't as lively as our town is at night. ”

"With the lighting at night, we can continue to work at night, we can continue to set up stalls and do business. Thanks to the arrival of the flower fairies, we in Pelican Town are now filled with people on the streets every night until eight or nine o'clock. Such a lively scene naturally attracts a lot of tourists and attracts a lot of business opportunities. ”

"I remember the operator of the elemental machine last year said that after an elemental machine is put into a piece of magic crystal, it should be able to provide at least a year's night lighting for our town, right?"

"But President Arrow, you should have seen the condition of those elemental lamps in the last month, right? The lights are getting dimmer, and even the elemental lights in some parts of our town don't come on at night. What I want to know is, is there something wrong with these elemental lights? Or is there something wrong with the element machine? Or is there something wrong with the magic crystals placed inside? Or was that the manipulator just lying to us at the time, shoddy, and casually talking for a year? ”

Of course, Arrow knew that there was nothing wrong with anyone in this.

What's really problematic is the one that lurks beneath the Hidden Lake that can devour magic.

The mana crystal, which could have been used for at least a year, was now about to expire in almost ten months, obviously because the power in the mana crystal had been absorbed a lot by that terrifying existence.

But this matter is not convenient for Arrow to make public.

"One more thing, it's inside the Hidden Lake. President Arrow...... The last time something happened to your guild, the one who suddenly dragged the kidnapper out of the lake...... What exactly is that thing? Recently, there have been some gossips in the town, and sometimes they are particularly terrifying. So that thing...... What is it? If it's a monster, can your guild help eradicate it? ”

Facing the round cheese's very expectant eyes now, Arrow could only return with a confident smile and said slowly: "Warcraft? What Warcraft? Mayor Mare, you've been in Pelican Town much longer than I am, have you ever seen a monster appear in the Hidden Lake? ”

"This ......"

Round Cheese looked a little hesitant, and he frowned, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Arrow continued to laugh, "It was because the kidnapper suddenly stumbled and fell into the water, monster? I think the water vapor on the lake was too big that day, and the townspeople were a little nervous at the time, so I guess I was wrong. Coupled with the fact that you spread falsehoods with every word you say, in the end, everyone is self-righteous and sees some kind of terrible monster. This kind of thing is not without precedent. ”

In response to Arrow's explanation, Mayor Round Cheese could only nod silently now, and temporarily agreed with this answer: "Then the matter of magic crystallization...... What should I do? ”

Arrow shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Well...... I'm not a professional, and the structure of the Elemental Machine was only possible with the same operator at the time. But now that the time is calculated, although it is less than a year, it is also fast. So we'd better buy another piece of mana crystal. ”

Round Cheese finally laughed, he nodded, and said with a smile: "I think so too, so the primary purpose of my coming here today is to hope that Mermaid Song can help us buy a piece of magic crystals in Pelican Town." ”

The mayor stretched slightly, rubbed his slightly numb shoulders, and said with a slightly wry smile—

"When it comes to understanding magic, who else in our whole Pelican Town can compare to the Mermaid Song? Actually, I've wanted to buy another piece of magic crystals for a long time, but we really don't understand this thing, so we don't dare to buy it casually. ”

"Recently, some magicians have started to stay in our town, and I have talked to those magicians for a few words, but the price they offer for mana crystals is very different. When I asked what the difference was, each magician gave a different reason. I looked at the price and color they gave, I really don't know if I don't know, I was shocked when I saw it! ”

"A magic crystal, the size of a fingernail, they can sell it for more than 100 gold coins! If you think about it this way, last year, 500 gold coins could buy such a large piece of magic crystal, and our town really made a lot of money! ”

Now Arrow understands why the mayor of the town is not angry that the magic crystal did not last for a year, it turns out that he has already checked the price and knows that he bought it at a very cheap price!

However, if you think about it carefully, the guild that sold the elemental machine seems to want more to promote its own elemental machine, so the price of the magic crystallization is not very high, it may just be a cost price.

"So, you're hoping that I'm going to bargain with the magicians and see if I can get a piece, right? Well...... So, boss, how much are you going to spend on a new magic crystal? After all, when we bought the elemental machine last year, we really made a lot of money, and it is impossible for such cheap magic crystals to be available everywhere. ”

Round Cheese nodded and smiled, "I also know I can't take it for granted anymore." So this time, I've given you seven hundred gold coins! ”

As he spoke, the mayor tapped his fingers on the counter six times—

"I'd like to be able to buy a piece of magic that can really last for a year, and the money left after the budget is completed will be all the commission fee that Pelican Town gave to President Arrow. President Arrow, what do you think of this business? ”

To be honest, it's not very profitable.

Last year, the cost price of the magic crystal with the thunder element was 500 gold coins sold to Pelican Town, but if it were based on the market price, I am afraid that the price should rise by about 30%. In other words, that's the price of almost 650 gold coins.
