Before Arrow could speak, Coco on the side puffed out his cheeks and shouted, "Shameless! Brother Guild won't want a cheap woman like you! ”

Margaux snorted coldly, and then leaned on the staff, assuming a slightly bewitching pose. As the morning sun shone down, her somewhat split skirt was lifted, revealing her big white legs: "Oh? I don't think so. After all, as long as it's a man, you can't stop that demand, right? President Arrow. ”

Coco still didn't believe it, but at this time, she suddenly turned her head and glared at her president, as if she was a little lacking in confidence.

Seeing Coco's expression, Arrow couldn't help but laugh a little.

He shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't want you to accompany me, and to be honest, I didn't think about letting this staff leave our mermaid song. In any case, this is also the property of the Mermaid Song, and furthermore, it is the property of the Holy See of Light. Our mermaid song is just for safekeeping. Do you want to take it away? Hehe, I'm afraid it's useless. ”

Hearing this from Arrow, Coco's confidence immediately increased! She nodded vigorously and turned her head again to the coquettish woman.

And the corners of Margaux's mouth twitched involuntarily now. She snorted, secretly mustering up her energy, continuing to channel her magic into the Staff of Light.

But no matter how much she tried to encourage it, the staff could never return to the state of being in touch with her mind as before. Not to mention accepting any of your own magic, it's like some resistance.

Without the help of the Staff of Light, Margaux knew that it would be impossible for her to escape from the encirclement of the Mermaid's Song with her own powers that could shine with her hands.

There was no way, she could only sigh helplessly, inserted the staff of light into the mud, opened her hands and stepped back slightly, and said, "Okay, okay! I've got you covered! I lost, so it's okay, right? The staff is for you! Can you let me go?! ”

Arrow winked at Brad, and the big man nodded, pulling out the staff of light and stepping back.

Seeing that the staff had been confiscated, Margaux's eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness. But she also knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she could only endure this breath silently, lowered her head, and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, Arrow waved his hand again, signaling his members to surround the woman again.

Seeing that the way he left was blocked again, Margaux was slightly stunned!

She quickly turned her head and looked at Arrow with an incredulous expression. Similarly, the other guild members did the same, but there was also a slight doubt in their eyes.

"What are you doing? I'll give you all the stuff back! Why don't you let me go! ”

With his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, Arrow slowly walked over to Brad and took the staff.

The Staff of Light was still as dim as ever.

But it doesn't matter, what really matters is what he's going to say next.

"Miss Margaux, it's not that I don't want to let you go, but I have something I want to talk to you about."

Margaux gritted her teeth, her fists clenched slightly. But under the pressure of those adventurers around her, she didn't dare to resist at all.

"Where are you going to go after you leave here? You don't have any money on you, do you? Even if you're planning to sell it all the way out of Pelican Town to pay for your journey, you'll need some basic movement money, right? Do you have these? ”

Arrow's tone was very understated, and there was a hint of joking.

And Margaux over there looked a little embarrassed. She looked down at herself, the white gauze dress on her body had become dirty from the night's hard work, and the wrapped clothes she had carried out had been thrown into the underground passage, torn apart by the fangs and flesh.

It can be said that she can really be regarded as penniless now, and I am afraid that she doesn't even know where to eat breakfast today.

The only thing that can be said to be valuable is the pearl necklace around her neck.

"Humph! You have to take care of it! I...... Of course I have my own way! For example, I still have this piece of jewelry to sell......"

Originally, Margaux's tone was still tough. But when she said that she was going to pawn the last piece of jewelry on her body, her voice was obviously softer.

Of course, Arrow will not let go of the weakness of the negotiator at this moment, and immediately followed, saying: "As human beings, everything human beings do will pay attention to a cost and benefit. ”

"When we humans feel that the cost we pay is completely unprofitable or that we feel that we are losing money, then we will not do such things. Even if I did, I would feel very uncomfortable, as if I had eaten a fly, and I couldn't let go of it for a long time. ”

"And it seems to me, Miss Margaux, that you are now planning to do something that will cost a great deal of money, and there is almost no ...... No, it's something that doesn't have any interest at all. Yes, that's right, Miss Margaux, if you leave now, then you will lose money, and you will lose a lot. ”

Margaux's hand rubbed lightly against her pearl necklace, and her expression was a little confused when she heard Arrow's words, but more of a wariness. She took a step back, kept herself as far away as the short man as she could, and said, "What the hell are you trying to say?" Where am I losing money? I don't have anything to lose! ”

Arrow shook his head, with a very pitying and regretful expression in his eyes, and said with a smile: "No, you are at a loss. As I said earlier, everyone weighs the costs and benefits of everything they do. It's like a man dying of thirst who sees a well in front of him, and he doesn't give up on the well thinking that there might be cold lemonade farther away. ”

"And for Mademoiselle Margaux, everything we have just experienced together, all the blood we have paid in that dark underground passage, all the blood we have shed, all the wounds we have suffered, all these adventures, are a cost to you."

"So let's take a look now, what benefit did Miss Margaux get from receiving the goods after taking such a risk and paying a huge security cost?"

Arrow paused slightly, giving Margaux a moment to think. However, this kind of thinking time is only a few seconds, and he doesn't have the heart to make this woman really think through everything-

"In my opinion, not at all."

"After spending so much time, so much energy, and even doing so much at risk of her life, Mademoiselle Margaux now thinks of leaving immediately. Naturally, then, you don't have anything to gain from it! In my eyes as an unsuccessful economics graduate, this is a big loss-making business. ”

Parfay was gasping for air in Brad's pocket, trying to regain the magic she had spent in the battle. But I heard muttering outside for a long time, and I felt that Brad hadn't moved for half a day, so I couldn't help but crawl out of my partner's pocket, looked at Iero over there, and then looked at Margaux, and then asked Brad, "What's wrong?" What is the president doing? ”

Brad raised his finger and shushed and said, "Don't talk, the president is lying." ”

Over there, Margaux tilted her head and looked at Eero as if she had heard something strange before. As a kiln sister who has not received much higher education since she was a child, she certainly can't understand the knowledge of costs and benefits in economics at once except for knowing a few words, but she feels as if she has been persuaded by this short man to something? But how does this persuasion always feel strange?

"You say I...... Lost? Well...... Well, if you have to think so, I did risk my life to help you take out that monster without getting any reward. I did lose out if I said that. So what are you going to do? Pay me? ”

Arrow laughed, as if he had heard something very funny, shook his head and said, "Money is always within the reach of its own force. Miss Margaux, do you think that now you have the force to get any iron coin from me? This is a mistake, the same mistake as the reason why you were swept away by Earl Eagle in one fell swoop, is that you have more money than your fist can reach. ”

Margaux seemed a little anxious, she snorted and said loudly, "So! What exactly are you trying to say? ”

Seeing that Margaux was in a hurry, Arrow became even more calm. He clapped his hands lightly and smiled, "Are you angry?" If you're angry, it means that you're aware that you're losing money, right? You don't get paid for your work. And after this adventure, we in the Mermaid Song got a sword of stone. Although we have some losses in this adventure, these losses are also acceptable. ”

"So, Miss Margaux, have you ever thought of making as much profit as possible from your venture? Even the smallest gain is better than if you don't have any profit at all. ”

Margaux bit her lower lip slightly, she was a little annoyed by the man who always looked at her with a hippie smile, but seemed to have no interest in his body and face at all, and said in a slightly resentful voice, "So, what exactly do you want from me?" ”

"It's easy, join the mermaid song."
