Although the current atmosphere seemed a little sad, Arrow was still a little nervous.

After all, the moment the box was opened, he noticed that the bodies of Margaux and Coco behind him shook obviously.He raised his head and looked at the flower fairies standing on the eaves to observe. When the box was opened, those flower fairies seemed to have a little commotion now, and they flapped their wings and flew up.

Reminiscent of the pair of magic swordsmen who can never be said to be mentally normal, coupled with the warning from the tree of life, Airl could only bite the bullet and stepped forward, saying: "The funeral has not yet been decided. But I think, If the woodcutter can realize that you are satisfied with the most important masterpiece in his life, he will surely go to another world with a smile on his face."

Capone smiled slightly, turned around, and walked slowly towards the north of the town with his apprentice.

The end of this direction... is without a doubt the Eternal Sleeping Mountain Range.

Ai Luo didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly led his guild members to follow, walking side by side with the pair of magic sword master and apprentice.

"Hey... human beings are really fragile sometimes. Many times, life that seems to last forever will often become an eternal past in a flash."

Capone didn't seem to care about Arrow and the others following him, he continued to move towards the north of the town, and said as he walked——

"President Airl, don't you think it's unbelievable that we human beings who have ruled the entire continent in a certain sense can only have such a short and fragile life?"

Airl didn't dare to talk casually. After thinking for a moment, he could only simply say: "Maybe, but maybe this is why we human beings value life, and this is why we can become stronger."

"But those mages tend to have a longer lifespan and longer youth. Don't you think that apart from having a similar appearance to us ordinary humans, mages are actually equivalent to different creatures from us?"

Capone's words began to reveal some extreme thoughts, and this kind of topic made Airl's heart tugged just as soon as he uttered it.After thinking for a while, he tried to slow down his tone, and said calmly, "What... do you want to say?"

Capone smiled, shook his head with a little helplessness, and said: "That voice is narrating in my mind again. Since this time, it has been explaining the meaning of life to me, and discussing with me what it is What does it mean to be truly alive?"

"The meaning of life is such a rich and colorful subject. Just like the faith I am looking for, that voice keeps telling me the meaning of life he is looking for. The more we talk, the more I feel that the voice of that voice is The master must have the most outstanding insight, which makes me want to see more and more."

Gradually, the houses on the north side of the town began to become scarce, and the outline of the Long Sleeping Mountains in the distance gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Looking at the high mountain, looking at the bareness, without a single grass, without a tree, it seems to be a mountain range cut off from all life, Airl couldn't help swallowing, and the voice began to appear A little trembling: "You...be vigilant, there is no doubt...it is some kind of bewitchment..."

"Ah, yes, it is indeed bewitching."

Capone nodded, not denying it.

He stretched out his hand and touched the head of the tiramisu next to him lovingly. The young man also raised his head and looked at his master with infinite nostalgia in his eyes.

"However, even if it is bewitching, its words are so well-organized. To be honest, I don't believe any rewards he is willing to promise me. What kind of power, what life, what eternity, I will take all these promises as A trivial joke."

"But...thoughts, ideas, beliefs."

"These things, I can read from that voice. This is something more important than the so-called 'bewitching'. This is what I have been pursuing all my life... If I can achieve these things, then I am considered to be bewitched, Then I don't care."

Gradually, everyone finally left the town.

Looking at the Eternal Sleeping Mountains in the distance, looking at the dark mine entrance halfway up the mountain, Airl took a deep breath now.He turned his gaze to the box that Tiramisu was holding, and after thinking for a while, he finally said straightforwardly: "Excuse me... what is in this box...?"

Capone was slightly taken aback, he glanced at the box, and then smiled and said, "This one? Well... In the words of adventurers, this can be called a 'cursed item'. "

"Cursed?" Airl felt his heart be pulled hard.

"Yes, curse. I bought the wood of the Fairy Forest. Is there anything in this world that is more alive with the spirit of nature than the wood of the Fairy Forest? Because of the existence of the Fairy Forest, and because of the trade I have never imagined that the problem that I have been thinking about before can be solved so easily in Pelican Town. President Arrow, I heard that you built the Fairy Forest by yourself? I want to thank you."

Airl felt that things were getting more and more wrong, he stared at the box closely, and the members of Mermaid Song behind him were also staring at the box now.Apparently... something is starting to go wrong emotionally.

"So... what is this cursed item... exactly used for?"

Arrow held his breath, and again decided to get straight to the point.

The smile on Capone's face was still so gentle and soft, even... at this moment, he even had a little apology on his face.He nodded to Airl, and also to the members of Mermaid Song behind him, and said——

"It is used to absorb the life of everyone. If I explain it this way, can it solve the problems in your mind?"

Now, what expression should Airl show?

In fact, before Capone answered this question, he had imagined what a big secret was hidden in it!I even thought about how I should deal with this matter if it might be an offensive weapon used against the Magicians Association.

But now, when Capone said this sentence with a smile on his face, Airl couldn't make any expressions or movements at once.

He just stood here blankly, his head didn't seem to be able to turn the corner in time, he stared blankly at this handsome uncle with a smile on his face, trying hard to make his head accept this fact as soon as possible.

"Necromantic magic, life siphon?!"

Compared to Airl's shock, Coco, who was more familiar with this kind of magic, was the first to react.

There was a little fear on the little girl's face, and she flicked her wand without hesitation. Undead soldiers and skeleton dogs were already by her side, ready to fight anytime, anywhere!

With Ke Ke's reminder, Airl reacted immediately, and quickly moved two steps to the side.This move naturally gave the most obvious signal to the members of their own guild, and everyone immediately put on a fighting posture!Perhaps it's just that Suta's combat experience is seriously lacking, and she doesn't have a tower shield in her hand, so she looks flustered and doesn't know what to do.

"Necromantic magic...Mr. Capone, I hope I misheard just now. Do you mean that what you commissioned the woodcutter to make is a magic item that can be used to absorb our life force?"

Arrow hoped he had heard wrong.

He really wants to...

After all, that young magic swordsman has the strength to face two magicians single-handedly. He really can't imagine what the battle will be like if the middle-aged magic swordsman ends together!

So... If it's not really a matter of life and death, he really doesn't want to tear himself apart with this pair of master and apprentice here.

Chapter 650 IX The Price of Life

Seeing Airl's vigilant look, Capone was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed as if he understood something.He raised his hand, lightly pressed the student next to him who was about to draw his sword, and said with a smile: "Oh, look at my problem. Maybe it's because time is running out, so I will speak more concisely To be brief, but to remove a lot of key points.”

After a moment of contemplation, Capone nodded again, and said with a smile: "Ah, President Arrow. Although, I don't think that your mermaid song can trap our master and apprentice here. I don't think you this The guild has the ability to stop what I want to do. But for the sake of politeness, I still want to ask you, do you really think that the current members of your guild...can stop me?"

Airl gritted his teeth lightly, rolled his eyeballs, and then could only give up.At that moment, he raised his hand, put Brad's arm lightly in front of him, calmed him down, and then said: "Unfortunately, our guild may not be able to do it. Then, could you please explain in detail? After all Things like 'misunderstanding' are too easy to cause consumption. Whether it is consuming money or consuming other more important things."

Seeing Arrow subdued, Capone seemed very satisfied with the president's sincere attitude.He nodded, and glanced at the tiramisu next to him. After receiving the master's gaze, the young swordsman finally put down the sword in his hand again, holding the wooden box with both hands safely. up.

"Well... Let me explain a little bit. You heard it right just now. The thing in this box is indeed a magic tool that I entrusted the old woodcutter to make. Although I think the old woodcutter probably didn't know what he did What, but I think, from the technical level, he should have some kind of judgment instinctively."

After smiling, Capone turned his gaze back to Airl, and said with a smile——

"President Airl, necromancer magic is not an inherently terrifying magic. I believe that from the point of view of such a lovely and cheerful necromancer in your guild, you should have already Is it very clear?"

As he spoke, Capone turned his eyes to Coco and smiled at the nervous little girl.

Receiving Capone's smile, Coco, who was still very nervous just now, seemed not to know what to do for a while, so she could only shrink her neck in a little embarrassment, and snorted softly: "Thank... thank you... "

Ai Luo also looked at his necromancer, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face: "Indeed, there is no difference between the affinity of magic elements. I agree with that."

Capone smiled even more happily, as if he had found an old friend with the same topic, and continued: "It is really a great honor to get your understanding, President. After all, not all places can be as good as yours. , I have the same understanding of necromancers as I do. Well... let me continue." He stretched out his hand, pointed slightly at the wooden box in his student's hand, and said with a smile: "That one keeps echoing in my mind. The voice gave me a feeling of faith, so I wanted to meet it. The reason why I didn't go directly was because I wanted to make some preparations. Similarly, it was the voice that told me to do what I did. preparation."

"I'm going to meet it, it may need to consume a lot of life force. It has told me this in advance, so I have already made sufficient mental preparations. However, that voice gave me a way to save life without consuming too much life force. , but the way to be safe and sound is to cast such a Necrobox."

"Relying on this Necronomicon Box, I can rely on him to absorb the huge vitality that can be used to absorb the entire Pelican Town, even covering the Shining Forest and Swan Castle."

"Well, although it is said to be vitality, it is actually only a little bit. To use an analogy... it is almost absorbing the life essence of each of you for a day, that is, shortening the life span of each of you by one day. I think the price shouldn't be too heavy, right?"

Airl frowned, looking a little unbelievable. After thinking for a while, she said, "One day's lifespan? Is it enough to just absorb one day's lifespan? Well, even if objectively speaking, one day's lifespan really isn't It’s a lot, but no matter what, you still absorbed the vitality of all of us. There is no reason for us in Pelican Town to be absorbed by you for nothing, right?”

Capone nodded gently, and the expression on his face clearly told everyone present that he had considered this matter a long time ago: "Yes, no matter how you say it, this is also your vitality. If you don't want to give it, I will force it If you take it, even if you take a small amount, it is a robbery."

The corners of Airl's mouth twitched slightly. He forcefully supported his body, hugged his hands, tried to show a confident look, and said: "Indeed! So, if you really want to absorb the life of all of us for a day, then Everyone in Pelican Town should also be informed!"

In this regard, Capone shook his head gently with a helpless smile, and rejected Airl's proposal: "Oh...it's really a pity, President Airl. Even if it's just for a day Life, but how much time do you think it will take if I really want to take a nod and sign agreement from every family? It’s really a pity, I can’t afford such a loss of time.”

Airl: "Then you can't—"

Capone: "So, I chose another compromise plan, which is to invest in your Pelican Town. Remember how much money I invested in buying real estate in Pelican Town before? That can be regarded as my investment in Pelican Town. The investment in the town can also be regarded as my compensation for the residents of your town. I think that I have spent so much money in your town, so it should not be too much to just absorb one day of your life now. Right? Of course, investment leads to real estate upgrades, which may cause economic problems in small towns. I really didn’t think about it. I didn’t think well, and I’m sorry.”

Margot at the side thought for a while, and finally said: "So, this is why you stopped as soon as you heard that our president wanted to stop?"

Capone gave the nun a gentlemanly smile and nodded in response.

"I stopped investing in real estate, which may have caused the property prices in your small town to rise a little bit? But I hold all the deeds in my hand, and I will not sell or resell them, so in general , the increase in housing prices should not be too much. On the other hand, the gold coins I voted for your town are genuine, which can allow your town to carry out more economic activities. Calculated, I even use money to buy The life expectancy of everyone in your town is one day, so there is no problem, right?"

"What's the problem? You can come up with this answer, it seems like something a normal person can say!"

After Capone's voice fell, Cream was the first to see this sentence.

Compared with other people, Cream, who is fully equipped anytime and anywhere, may be the one with the most complete equipment present. He waved his hand violently and said loudly: "No matter how you say it, you are absorbing the lives of all of us. ! And life...is priceless!"

"Cream, stop talking."

Just when Cream wanted to continue yelling at him, Airl yelled to stop him.

This made the assassin look a little surprised. He turned his head to look at Airl, but after seeing his president's serious face, he finally shut up and stopped talking.

Say why?

Because Airl knows deeply that life... actually has a price.

Everything in this world actually has a price. It's really a pity, although in the writings of many bards and great writers, life is priceless, and life has endless value!

But when Airl observes it from the perspective of a businessman, it is a pity that life can really be marked with a price.

It's like the money a person can earn from a day's work. If you work for a whole day from six in the morning to ten in the evening, and sleep at home after being tired all day, then you It is true that you have made money, but it is the same. Your day is equivalent to having no value.

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

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

Therefore, there is no need to continue this topic. If Capone is forced to explain the truth clearly if he continues to talk about it, then Arrow will simply bring shame on himself.

Arrow exhaled slightly, shook his head lightly, to make himself appear more sober, and said: "Mr. Capone, I already understand what you mean. But your method still makes us in Pelican Town People are a little confused. Moreover, your investment behavior hardly achieves any real benefits in the eyes of us ordinary people."

Capone smiled, agreed with this, nodded and said: "Yes, after being stopped by you last time, I was thinking of any 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 bought the goods, but in general, it’s not a big money. In addition, the elemental machine in your town was destroyed last time... Ah, what? If not, how about I give your town a little more money and let you buy another elemental machine?"

Chapter 660 A Day's Life

Arrow hated himself a little.

Hate yourself for being such a philistine?

This is a matter of life and death!How can you get rid of yourself with a little money?

But...if the money given is enough...

Now, he doesn't hate himself a little bit. After all, it doesn't matter if others are willing to give money, even if they are a bit of a philistine, right?

"Would you like to give me money?"
