Seeing Arrow's vigilant appearance now, Capone was slightly stunned, and then as if he understood something, he laughed. He raised his hand, gently pressed the student next to him who was about to draw his sword, and said with a smile: "Oops, look at my problem." Maybe it's because time is running out, so it will be more concise when you speak, and a lot of important points have been removed. ”

After a moment of deep thought, Capone nodded again and smiled, "Ah, President Arrow. Although, I don't think your Mermaid Song can trap our master and apprentice here. I don't think your guild has the ability to stop what I'm trying to do. But as a courtesy, I still want to ask you, do you really think that with the current members of your guild...... Can you stop me? ”

Arrow gritted his teeth slightly, his eyes rolling, and then he had to give up. At that moment, he raised his hand and gently grabbed Brad's arm in front of him to calm him down, and then said, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid our guild really can't do it. So, could you please elaborate on that? After all, 'misunderstanding' is too easy to cause consumption. Whether it's consuming money, or consuming something more important. ”

Seeing that Arrow was soft, Capone seemed to be satisfied with the president's sincere attitude. He nodded, glancing at Tiramisu next to him, the young swordsman finally put down the sword in his hand once more after receiving the master's gaze, and held the wooden box with both hands steadily.

"Hmm...... I'll explain it a little bit. You heard it right, the contents of this box are indeed a magic prop that I commissioned Mr. Lumber to make. I don't think the old lumber grower knows exactly what he's doing, but I think he must have instinctively made some kind of judgment in terms of craftsmanship. ”

After smiling, Capone's gaze turned back to Arrow's side, and said with a smile on his face—

"President Arrow, necromancy is not an inherently terrifying magic. I believe that you should already know this from the fact that you have such a cute and cheerful necromancer in your guild, right? ”

As he spoke, Capone's gaze turned to Coco and smiled at the nervous little girl.

Receiving Capone's smile, Coco, who seemed very nervous just now, didn't seem to know what to do for a while, so she could only shrink her neck slightly embarrassed and snort softly: "Thank you...... Thank you ......"

Arrow also looked at his own necromancer, and after thinking about it, a smile involuntarily hung on his face: "Indeed, there is no good or bad affinity for the magic element, I agree with this." ”

Capone smiled even more happily, as if he had found an old friend with the same topic, and continued, "It is a great honor to have your understanding, President. After all, not all places have the same understanding of necromancers as you do. Well...... I'll go on. ”

He stretched out his hand, pointed slightly to the wooden box in his student's hand, and said with a smile, "The voice that keeps echoing in my head gives me a sense of faith, so I want to go and see it." The reason why I didn't go directly was because I wanted to make some preparations. In the same way, it was the same voice that told me to prepare. ”

"I'm going to see it, and it may take a lot of life force. It had already told me this in advance, so I was mentally prepared. However, that voice gave me a way to be safe without consuming too much life, and that was to forge such a necromantic box. ”

"Relying on this Necromantic Box, I can rely on him to drain the vast life force of the entire Pelican Town, and even the Shining Forest, Swan Castle."

"Well, although it is said to be vitality, but in fact, it is only a little bit. To use an analogy...... It is almost absorbing the essence of each of you in one day, that is, to shorten the life of each of you by one day. I don't think that's a lot of money, right? ”

Arrow's brows furrowed, looking a little incredulous, and after a little thought, she said, "A day's life? Is it enough to absorb just one day of life? Well, even if objectively speaking, a day's life span is not much, but no matter what, you still absorb the life force of all of us. There's no reason for us in Pelican Town to be sucked into your life for nothing, right? ”

Capone nodded slightly, and the expression on his face clearly told everyone present that he had already thought about this matter: "Yes, no matter what, this is also your life force. If you don't want to give it, if I take it by force, even if the amount is small, it will be a kind of banditry. ”

The corners of Arrow's mouth twitched slightly, he forcibly supported his body, clasped his hands together, tried his best to show a confident look, and said, "Indeed! So, if you're serious about taking a day out of life from all of us, you should tell everyone in Pelican Town about it! ”

In this regard, Capone shook his head gently with a slightly helpless smile, and rejected Arrow's proposal: "Alas...... It's a shame, President Arrow. Even if it's just a day's life, how much time do you think it would take me to really take the family nodding and agreeing to sign? It's a shame that I can't afford to lose time like this. ”

Arrow: "Then you can't-"

Capone: "So, I chose another compromise and invested in your Pelican Town. Remember how much money I invested in Pelican Town to buy real estate before? That could be considered my investment in Pelican Town, and it could be regarded as a kind of compensation for the residents of your town. I thought, I've spent so much money in your town, so it shouldn't be too much to absorb just one day of your life now, right? Of course, the fact that investment leads to real estate upgrades and can lead to problems in the town's economy is something I didn't think about. This is my lack of thought, and I'm sorry. ”

Margaux on the side thought for a moment, and finally spoke: "It turns out that this is the reason why you stopped as soon as you heard that our president wanted to stop?" ”

Capone smiled at the nun with a gentlemanly smile and nodded, in response.

"I stopped investing in real estate, maybe it caused the price of property in your town to go up a little bit, right? But I hold those deeds in my hands, and they won't be used for sale or resale, so in general, the price of the house should not increase too much. On the other hand, the gold I threw into your town is genuine, which allows your town to do more economic activity. If I use money to buy a day's life for everyone in your town, there will be no problem, right? ”

"What's okay with that? You can give this answer, it doesn't look like a normal person could say it! ”

After Capone's words fell, it was the cream that was the first to see this sentence.

Compared to the others, Cream, who was fully equipped on his body at all times, was perhaps the most well-equipped one present, and he waved his hand violently and said loudly: "Anyway, you are also sucking the lives of all of us!" And life ...... It's priceless! ”

"Cream, don't say it."

Just as Cream wanted to continue scolding, Arrow stopped him.

This made the assassin look a little surprised, and he looked away at Arrow, but when he saw that his own president had a heavy face, he finally shut his mouth and said nothing.

To say why?

Because Eero knows deep down that life ...... In fact, there is a price.

Anything in this world actually has a price, and it's a pity, although in the pen of many bards and great writers, life is priceless, and life has endless value!

But when Iero looks at it from the perspective of a businessman, it's a pity that life can really be clearly marked with a price.

Just like the money that a person can earn from a day's work, if you work all day, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and then come home and go to bed after a tiring day, then you do earn money, but in the same way, you have no value for the day.

And for the capitalist where you work, the capitalist is buying your life for a day with money. Although there are differences in methods and methods, there is no difference in essence.

Because......

The guild of Mermaid Song actually relies on such a set of logic to operate.

So there is no need to continue on this topic, and if it continues, if Capone has to make the truth clear, then Eero is purely humiliating.

Arrow exhaled slightly, shook his head slightly, made himself appear clear, and said, "Mr. Capone, I already understand what you mean. But your approach is still a bit confusing to us in Pelican Town. Moreover, this investment behavior of yours seems to us ordinary people to have little real benefit. ”

Capone smiled, agreed, nodded and said, "Yes, after you stopped last time, I thought of a way to better invest in your town and buy your lives. So I also went to the flower fairy tour in your town, and I also bought the goods, but in general it was not a lot of money. Plus the last time your town's elemental machine was destroyed...... Ah, how about I give you a little more money and buy another elemental machine? ”
