Chapter 352 - Threatened, come! Who's afraid of whom?

In the face of a magician, Arrow showed no fear. Instead, he stepped forward, staring at the flame mage almost face to faceโ€”

"Is the Elemental Machine an illegal thing? Not! In terms of product performance, the Elemental Machine is actually no different from an ordinary magic prop. Just like the magic that is sealed in the scroll, the magic that has an enchanted ring, and the weapon that can generate fire or frost power out of thin air, is just a magic item! โ€

"The reason why the Emperor's decree did not promote them, and specified that only magicians could use elemental machines, was based on the insecurity and instability of elemental machines. But essentially, that law restricts the 'person' who uses the elemental machine, not the 'elemental machine' itself! As long as the user is a person with magical affinity, then the elemental machine can be used normally, as you have confirmed before. โ€

"Then now the problem arises! Dear Mr. Eddie, since our town purchased this elemental machine, the ownership of the elemental machine and the elemental lamp has naturally belonged to us in Pelican Town! Yes, this Mr. Tesla did manipulate our town's elemental machine, but it was entirely his own doing. It was he who did not inform us of the town, and without the permission of the mayor, he fiddled with the elemental machine! We will naturally ask him for justice and reparations for this later. โ€

"But before that, Mr. Eddy, you took it upon yourself to destroy the lawful property of our town without informing anyone in our town, and seriously caused our wedding to be held tonight! Now that the central square is in turmoil, if we don't provide a lot of lighting for the central square immediately, I believe tonight's event will be completely ruined! A lot of the gold that our town could have earned will also suffer from your private, personal, and completely disregarding the consequences. Excuse me, if I don't stop you in this situation, do you still want us Pelicans to swallow this huge loss by ourselves? โ€

Arrow wasn't speaking very quickly, and he still had a slight smile on his face as he said it.

But after listening to these tirades, Eddie, who seemed a little vigilant just now, couldn't find anything to refute? He froze on the spot, glancing at the destroyed conduit on the subject's side, as if trying to figure out how to fix the problem.

"Yes...... But this elemental machine ...... Elemental Lights...... If I don't stop it, won't this guy just fiddle with himself? You guys...... You ......"

Arrow nodded earnestly, "Of course we're grateful to Mr. Eddie for being able to stop this guy from messing around. But that doesn't mean you're going to ruin our town's property. If you catch the thief, do you have to burn down the owner's house as well? There is absolutely no such reason in the world. โ€

Dumbfounded, Eddie seemed to be a little annoyed. With a resentful expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to blame, you can blame this bastard!" It was he who broke the law in the first place! If you want money, ask him for money! โ€

Arrow smiled slightly, continued to nod and said, "Of course! Mr. Eddy, because this element machine is not stable enough, of course we can ask for a return. You can also ask this guy's guild to spit out all the money. But on the other hand, if we ask for a refund, we naturally have to return it as well. Mr. Lovely Di, you rushed up directly and smashed our goods to a pulp, how can you let us return them? And you can also ask, is this Mr. Tesla willing to accept this kind of tattered mess return? โ€

Thinking about it with his ass, I know that this installer is naturally reluctant now, and he doesn't even need to ask.

Eddie now clenched his fists tightly, and a face that seemed to be starting to turn red from gathering too many flame elements. After a moment, he snorted heavily and said loudly, "I see, Mermaid Song!" After talking for a long time, your guild is still fighting against His Majesty's laws, right?! Good, good, good! You still want to entangle, don't you? Tell you! If you really have the courage, go to the association and complain about me! I'm really not afraid! I'm doing things for Your Majesty, and I'm not afraid of your complaints! Want money? OK! Go and ask the people of this Elemental Machine Guild to go! Want to trick me? Hmph, dream! โ€

Seeing that Eddie had now begun to play unreasonable, Cream and Brad immediately outflanked him from both sides and surrounded him in the center.

Seeing this posture, the sneer on the corner of Eddie's mouth became more obvious, and he snorted: "Sure enough, do you want to do it at the beginning?" Hehe, although I have lost a lot of mana, the members of the Royal Wizards' Guild have never been afraid of any threat because of their lack of mana! โ€

In response, Cream and Brad both looked at each other, and their hands were pressed on top of their weapons. As soon as the guild leader gave the order, they would pounce immediately!

So......

"Cream, Brad, Parfay, Coco, did I let you do it?! When did I tell you I was going to fight against the Royal Wizards' Guild? Put away all my weapons for me! Give me all back! You want to shout and kill at every turn, can you beat one, can you beat the entire Royal Association?! โ€

Again, in this situation, where the talk had already collapsed, Arrow spoke out and told everyone to lay down their weapons.

This pause made the members look surprised again, and they looked at Eddie and then at their own president. It didn't look like Arrow's eyes were joking, and after a moment of hesitation, the members finally had to take their hands off their weapons and make way for Eddie.

Seeing such a scene, the sneer on the corner of Eddie's mouth immediately turned into contempt. He snorted, crouched down and grabbed Tesla's feet, ready to drag him away.

"Of course I will go to the capital. However, instead of complaining about the Royal Wizards' Guild, the complaint was filed directly with the Imperial Court in the capital in the name of Pelican Town. Accuse Mr. Eddie Invincible of wanton destruction of Pelican Town's property, and after damaging Pelican Town's property of up to 1,000 gold coins, he also lost more than 500 gold coins in revenue to our town overnight. You must know that our Pelican Town is a normal tax town, and the royal family can get at least a tenth of the income after the income of 500 gold coins is converted into a tax rate. In other words, the Royal Wizards' Guild has harmed our noble royal family in one fell swoop with a lot of tax dollars and the high cost of infrastructure for a small town. โ€

"Of course, for the royal family, this may be just a small amount of money. But is it possible to set such a precedent? If this time the association harmed the royal family, dozens of gold coins can be ignored, then what about the next time? Do you need to care for a few hundred pieces next time? Do you need to worry about thousands of pieces? With the loss of tens of thousands of gold coins, do you think the royal family will continue to turn a blind eye? โ€

"Or ...... Dear Mr. Eddie Invincible, do you think your guild will risk a fall out with our noble royal family, or the slightest discord in order to protect a magician like you, a small member? I'm starting to look forward to your association's moves. โ€

At first, the corners of Eddie's mouth were still full of disdain as he listened to these words.

But as Arrow spoke more and more, the magician's face began to turn pale from the redness just now.

The sneer that originally hung on the corner of his mouth, symbolizing his absolute disdain and disdain for others, was also gradually eliminated under the offensive of Arrow's language.

Soon, he stopped moving Teslas.

Even the passage that the members of the Merfolk Song had left in front of him was as big as his footsteps, and he didn't take another step.

Looking at this person's grim face, and even began to sweat for a while on his forehead, Arrow, an ordinary person who had no magic power at all, and who had no force at all, slowly walked up to him and laughed softlyโ€”

"The road is here, do you still want to go?"

With a plop, I don't know if it was due to excessive mana consumption or some other reason, Eddie's feet couldn't help but go limp, and he sat back on the ground.

His face turned pale, and his lips began to tremble as he looked up at the short man who had only looked down before.

After hesitating for a long time, the mage couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said tremblingly, "You...... Want me to pay ...... How much? โ€

So, why use force to defeat the enemy? Why do you have to have more magic than the other party?

Benefit.

As long as there are interests, as long as personal interests are involved. As long as a certain action may cause a significant loss of personal interests, then even the most powerful Dharma God on this continent must return to the negotiating table and negotiate patiently.

There's no way Eddie can kill all the members of Merfolk Song, and even if he really has the ability to do so, he can't. Of course, it is even more unlikely that he will directly slaughter the entire Pelican Town in order to protect his own interests, so his losses will probably be even greater!

The most difficult time in the face of an enemy is not thinking about how to submit the other party, but the fact that the other party does not intend to negotiate with you at all.

The only thing that Arrow needed to do was to bring the other party to the negotiating table. As soon as you get to the negotiating table, then everything becomes negotiable. Everything has a turning point.

The president lowered his head, looked down at Eddie, and slowly stretched out a finger and shook it.

"One...... A hundred gold coins? โ€

Eddie's voice trembled slightly.
