After hesitating for a long time, the mage couldn't help swallowing, and said tremblingly, "How much do you want me to pay?"
So, why use force to defeat the enemy?Why do you have to have stronger magic power than the other party?
interest.
As long as there are interests, as long as personal interests are involved.As long as a certain action may cause a major loss of personal interests, even the most powerful Dharma God on this continent must return to the negotiating table and negotiate patiently.
Eddie couldn't have killed all of the Mermaid Song members, not even if he could have done so.Of course, it is even more impossible for him to directly slaughter the entire Pelican Town in order to protect his own interests, so his loss may be even greater!
When facing an enemy, the most difficult period is not thinking about how to subdue the other party, but that the other party does not intend to negotiate with you at all.
All Arrow needs to do is to bring the other party to the negotiating table.As long as you are on the negotiating table, everything becomes negotiable.There is a turning point for everything.
The president lowered his head, looked down at Eddie, slowly stretched out a finger, and shook it.
"One... a hundred gold coins?"
Eddie's voice trembled slightly.
Chapter 350 The third threat to you?threaten him by the way
"A thousand gold coins must not be missing at all."
It's a pity that Airl's lion's open mouth is probably far from what this person who has only studied magic all along, but doesn't know how to bargain with others is good at.
"What? A thousand pieces?! Why don't you grab it?!"
Facing Eddie's struggle, Ai Luo was still so relaxed and happy, and said with a smile: "First of all, I just said that because of Mr. Eddie's sabotage this time, our town's income will directly fall into a loss. You must always keep this point in mind. I am not asking you for money on behalf of Song of the Mermaid, but asking you for money on behalf of our town. The gold coins you paid may not get into me pocket. So for the income of a small town, 500 gold coins are the most basic, this figure is not an exaggeration at all, right?"
When Eddie was in a daze, Airl continued: "Afterwards, we need to use the remaining 500 gold coins to repair the elemental machines and elemental lamps that were destroyed by you. Of course, I know you must think that you can't spend that much The money, but don’t forget, this brand new elemental machine has just been bought in our town and is about to undergo a major repair within a month, and it has become a repaired defective product!”
"When you buy something, do you think that a repaired item should be sold at the same price as an original one? Repaired items must be discounted, right? Even if a new item just leaves the factory in the morning, it has to be repaired in the afternoon. If it is repaired, then it should not be the brand new price when it is actually sold.”
"So, in addition to the maintenance fee, the 500 gold coins also include the depreciation cost of the element machine and the element lamp. Since we just bought it for less than a month, it is completely understandable that the depreciation cost is more expensive."
"The above two expenses add up to 1000 gold coins. I think this price is very reasonable. It is only less than two gold coins apportioned to everyone in our town. Then, respectful Mr. Eddie, how do you plan to pay for it?" Is there cash? We welcome cash, and our mayor especially likes shiny gold coins."
After this series of calculations came out, Eddie's eyes almost turned white.
Seeing how young this mage is, 1000 gold coins is definitely not a small amount even for a mage!
He was obviously a flame mage, but now his hands and feet started to become cold, and his whole body trembled a little.His eyes began to wander around restlessly, and his spirit fell into a burst of anxiety.
"This... this price is really too expensive!"
Airl smiled: "It's indeed a huge sum of money for an individual, but for a small town, I don't think this loss is too big."
Eddie rubbed his hands and licked his lips: "Then... can it be cheaper? I really don't have that much money... Even if I ask you to borrow it, I can't borrow that much!" Airl said he was helpless, Spreading my hands, I said, "I can only ask you for the loss on behalf of our town, but I have no right to lower the price. What if someone in our town disagrees? This may end up on me for the loss , let us fill it with Song of the Mermaid. I already feel that the price is a bit cheap. Sigh... So people are away from home, no matter what, don’t break things in the public house casually. It’s really a big deal at every turn. Huge money."
"That...that...!" Obviously, Eddie was already in a hurry, and once a person is in a hurry, he will start to lose his composure, "Then is there any other way? It is impossible for the association to agree to help me out That much money..."
Arrow shrugged and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to have other methods, but the reality does not allow it. Now, the needs of our town are very simple, we just want tonight's Valentine's Day party to go smoothly Hold it. As long as this can be achieved, we will not have any additional opinions. But since it has been decided to be yellow now, then we can only ask you to lose money to make up for the loss of our town."
Brad, Buffy, Cream, and Coco all know that at this time, they just need to stand by the side like a statue.
And they are very used to this kind of thing. Sometimes these members even feel that even the background statue of themselves can not exist at all, just let their president go up to fool people.
Look, how cute is this cute little flame mage being fooled?The look in his eyes already showed an attitude of wanting to kneel on the ground and beg for help.
However, what really shocked the four members was not how talkative their president was.But under these words, this flame mage now made a move that they couldn't think of at all!
"Can you... fix this thing?"
With a pale face, Eddie pointed to the broken pipeline with one hand, supported Tesla's back with the other to lift him up, and said these words earnestly.
In this regard, Airl still only had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Because of interests.
As long as interests are big enough and heavy enough, then driven by interests, human beings can often break through many boundaries that they think they will never break through, and can do many things that they thought they would never do in the past. matter.
after all……
Benefits never go out of style.
What about Tesla's expression?It should be the kind of expression that can be as arrogant as it is.
Facing Eddie's request, the installer couldn't suppress the smile on his face, showing it very rudely.
"Ha! Xiu? Haha, are you begging me? Ha! Honorable Lord of the Royal Society of Magicians, are you trying to find a way to beg me now? Hahaha!"
Eddie's face was blue and white for a while. It could be seen that he was a little excited, but he suppressed it well, and said again: "Just tell me, can you successfully repair this thing?"
Originally Tesla was still tied up and struggling, but now he was simply lying on the ground, as if he would not get up even if he was beaten to death.He tilted his head, thought for a while and then smiled: "You begging me? Are you begging me? Hahaha! Can it be fixed? Hey, look at my face, I look like you begging me for a couple Someone I would agree with?"
Seeing this, Eddie quickly reached out and untied the rope tied to Tesla.The installer was still lying on the ground, no matter what Eddie said, he looked indifferent.It seems that he really intends to take a good breath of his previous anger.
"Hey, Mr. Eddie, have you decided yet?"
Airl looked at the sky, and the expression on his face seemed a bit embarrassed——
"If there is really no way to fix it, then there is nothing we can do. Our party should be over soon, right? If it can't be done, I won't embarrass you. Tomorrow you will continue to bring this Mr. Tesla back to the capital to return. In a few days we, Pelican Town, will go to the capital to file a complaint in person, so it will be easier for all of us."
Lying on the ground, Tesla, who was still holding a winning ticket just now, suddenly turned his head and looked at Airl's face full of surprise: "President Airl? What do you mean? What do you mean I will be kidnapped by him to the capital?" Return?"
Ai Luo also showed a slightly strange expression and said: "Why, what's the problem? Your personal safety has nothing to do with me, I only care about the interests of our Pelican Town. When did you give birth to me just now? Everything you do is to help your illusion?"
At this moment, Tesla was completely stunned on the ground.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly got up and rushed to Eddie, grabbed his collar with both hands and said, "Hey! I'll help you, can you not catch me?!"
Eddie was taken aback for a moment, rolled his eyes slightly, smiled immediately, nodded and said: "Of course! You helped me, how could I catch you again? You have to believe me, we magicians will not lie. "
Tesla seems a little hesitant about Eddie's current commitment.After being silent for a while, he still couldn't seem to really believe what the magician said, instead he turned his head and looked at Airl over here.
"Don't worry, I believe the magician's words are not lies. After all, a person who can become a magician must have the quality in this respect~~~"
Arrow smiled, and seemed to trust Eddie's words.
This feeling of trust also made the smile on the flame mage's face more "exaggerated". He nodded more vigorously and said, "So, trust me! As long as you can fix this thing, I will definitely not do it again." The one who took you back to the capital. You must trust me on this point!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Tesla, just trust Mr. Eddie Invincible."
Airl gave a thumbs up, expressing his absolute "trust", and said with a smile——
"If the people in the capital know that he is a magician of the Royal Association, and instead turn to assist you, the maker of the elemental machine, to study how to repair an elemental machine, then I believe he will not be able to afford it. So The biggest loophole is here, so it is absolutely impossible for him to backtrack."
To put it simply, the expression of the magician who was still full of "laughs" on his face froze for a moment.He glanced away at Airl, and the smiles on his face began to look a little awkward.After a while, he could only sigh softly, his smile turned into a wry smile, he nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, you believe me, it is absolutely impossible for me to catch you back. One point, I assure you as a magician."
With Airl's testimony, Tesla looked at the magician again, and believed it more or less.But before he could say a few more words, Airl looked up at the sky again, intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Oh~~~ Time is coming to an end? Soon everything we said will be useless~ ~~Forget it, we should arrest those who should be arrested, those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should beg for money should beg for money~~~"
Chapter 350 No Eternal Enemy
Chapter 350 Four
This sentence was like an order, and Tesla, who seemed hesitant just now, rushed to the place where the pipeline was broken and quickly checked it.Eddie on the side also followed up nervously, squatting next to the pipe together and began to study hard.
"It's so badly damaged that the lines now need to be reattached...but I don't have the adhesive."
"Can I use my fire? Can I weld them?"
"Okay! Do you have enough firepower? If it's not enough, the weld will not be strong, and the elemental machine will explode again once it is started."
"Oh, why are you still talking so much nonsense now? Where are you talking about welding! I will use all my magic power to help you weld! Hurry up! Time is running out!"
The situation is urgent, and Tesla can't care so much.He carefully searched for places that could still be connected among the broken pipes, and spliced them together.After he found the position, Eddie stretched out his fingers, flames emerged from his fingertips, and began to weld at the broken place.
A moment later, Tesla frowned as he pulled the two pipes that had obviously been blown and missing a section.But after only a few seconds, he immediately turned his head as if he had thought of something, and shouted at the light stand with an elemental lamp next to it: "Light stand! Open the light stand! I want the materials inside !"
Of course Eddie didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly got up and rushed towards the elemental lamp closest to the two of them, the flame in his hand shot out, tearing off the iron sheet on the outside of the lamp stand, looking at the piles of pipes inside, he felt worried: "Which one do you want? There are so many, I don't know them!"
Ke Ke hurriedly plugged in from the side, and after a brief glance at the structure inside, the undead soldier flashed by, with a sweep of the sword, cut several sections of it, and called it a day.
The corners of Eddie's mouth turned slightly, but he still rushed back to Tesla with these materials as soon as possible. The two of them stared at the pipes intently. Catch up in a moment!
After about 10 minutes of repairing, Airl just watched leisurely from the side.
After the two people had almost cultivated and both got up from the mud, the president let out a chuckle and nodded slightly.
Tesla patted the mud on his body, and rushed to the elemental machine over there.Eddie next to him also instinctively wanted to run along with him, but the moment his footsteps just stepped into the lake, he suddenly pulled back as if remembering something.At the same time, he looked at the quiet lake in front of him with extreme fear, and the flame that had been put away also started to burn again from his right hand at this moment.
puff-
Tesla didn't hesitate like this. He plunged into the water, quickly came to the elemental machine, and touched the lever.
The installer directly pulled the lever down without any hesitation!
Immediately after...
Accompanied by the moment when the elemental machine was started again, at the moment when Tesla's mood suddenly relaxed...
In the darkness, he saw...
----
"Now, in the name of the God of Light. Groom, you can kiss your bride."
In the central square, Margot lightly tapped the staff in his hand, and the ball of light that could illuminate the entire square also dimmed slightly at this moment, only focusing the light on the couple.
The shy boy had a look of excitement, and the little freckles that had been lifted from the veil were already filled with tears.
Only under this dim light, the newlyweds couldn't see anyone else at all.It seems that the whole world exists only by themselves.
Accompanied by this burst of emotion and the red knots on their fingers getting closer and closer, after going through so many hard things, the two finally kissed each other deeply...
Swish swish--!
The moment they kissed, the lights in the entire central square were also lit up at the same time!As if announcing the climax of the banquet, this gorgeous light raised everyone's hearts to their throats!
The sugar-coated wine old man, who had been watching the ceremony from the sidelines, was so nervous that when he saw the lights suddenly turn on, he immediately turned to the dumbfounded band over there, and kept waving his hands: "Play! Play quickly! Play!"
Upon receiving instructions, these bands, worthy of their professionalism, immediately played the most exciting love movement.
Encouraged by the lights and music, the couple kissed more intensely, and the people watching the ceremony below became more excited now, and couldn't help applauding!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire central square immediately reached its peak!
Margo stepped back quietly, letting her own light ball go out.
After all the magic was over, she watched the newlyweds with glee.But after a while, she looked at the staff in her hand with some worry.
The staff of light... didn't extinguish the light.
