Gold is Justice

"Therefore, the association and the Holy See will never recognize the power of the elemental machine. No matter how good we do, they will never admit it. Everything will come down to the great leadership of the second prince, or the blessing of the God of Light, or the For some other reason."

Tesla laughed: "What kind of messy reasons are those? It's just nonsense. Just explain a little bit and everyone will understand..."

Ariel tilted her head: "So, do we have to explain behind their butts all the time? Wouldn't that be too tiring? On the contrary, I have another way to get the Holy See and the association to recognize the power of the elemental machine. And , or a method that is so straightforward that we don’t even have to explain it.”

Tesla was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It is... what method?"

At this point, Ariel said calmly: "There is a powerful weapon that can directly press their heads, just ask them to admit it or not."

"If you are willing to admit that the element machine is indeed stronger than magic, then our problem will be solved. If you still refuse to admit it, then use this weapon to destroy their heads, and the problematic people will be solved. In this way , won't the elemental machine be quickly recognized?"

Tesla stared blankly at the president in front of him, his eyes were a little dull, even... a little scared.

After hesitating for a moment, the assembler smiled awkwardly, pretending to be joking and said, "President, what you said...haha, it's really interesting." Destroy their heads? Oh~~~! I understand, is it to eliminate the weird thoughts in their heads? Hmm, I can think of a way. And you don’t have to beat around the bush in the future, What do you mean by destroying heads? You just say that we want to change their minds and it’s over! Hahaha..."

"I, I'm not metaphorically speaking."

It's a pity that Tesla's joking appearance is not funny at all in Ariel's eyes——

"What I'm talking about is to destroy their heads on a real level. Or, let me put it more bluntly... Let those who are unwilling to admit the element machine, and even want to use various powers Those who come to suppress our elemental machine, destroy our elemental machine, and hinder the development of our mermaid song will pay the price of their lives. Do you understand enough?"

At this point, the embarrassing smile on the corner of Tesla's mouth also froze, and he didn't move anymore.

The entire guild hall was quiet, but pedestrians were coming and going on the streets outside the guild, and the world illuminated by the elemental lights looked colorful.

On this summer evening, many people may prefer to enjoy such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere...

But in this guild, in this guild hall, a drop of cold sweat involuntarily dripped down Tesla's back.These cold sweats were few at first, but gradually, they began to increase.Before he knew it, he suddenly discovered that his entire back seemed to be wetted a lot...

After a long time, Tesla finally recovered from this absent-minded state.He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said softly——

"President... your thinking now... is really different from the past... don't you always hope... we, Mermaid Song, should be cautious and not kill people casually? You... is it too hot? , so you now..."

"Tesla, I know you may feel that I have changed. But I just want to say that I am not crazy."

Ariel also knew that she needed to confess this change, and more importantly, she needed the understanding and support of her guild members.

She exhaled slowly, and continued: "I am very calm now, yes, it is the kind of calm you imagined. I am not crazy, nor do I want to destroy the world, nor do I want to kill casually Who will fall?"

"I just had an idea. For example, if our guild is now the largest guild in the entire Blue Bay Empire, it would be a large guild like the Light of Heaven run by Dake's father. Then our guild openly If there are three or four hundred powerful warriors and magicians in our Pelican City, do you think those robbers still have the guts to attack the city? Do they still have the guts to set fire to it?"

Tesla thought about it, then shook his head.

Ariel nodded, exhaled again, and said: "That's right, if we are very powerful, then even if we don't take the initiative to provoke outsiders, outsiders would not dare to provoke us. In this world, if you want to maintain peace There are really only two very simple ways.”

"One is that we completely obey the other party's orders, and we will do whatever the other party asks us to do, as if the Association and the Holy See now want us to abolish the use of elemental machines. Once we decide to destroy all elemental machines If we continue to return to the traditional adventurer guild model in the past, then I believe the Holy See and the Association will let us go. Similarly, those robbers will not lose their jobs and lose their land because of the problem of the element machine and the house, and thus came to trouble us."

"The other way is that we have some very powerful power in our hands. This power can make the Holy See and the Association dare not do anything to us no matter how much dissatisfaction they have with us. It can make those robbers even if they know it. Their lives are destroyed because of our elemental machines and they dare not attack us again."

"Of the two methods, I prefer the second. Do you know why?"

Tesla froze, then shook his head as if in a daze.

Ariel smiled slightly, and said slowly: "It's very simple, because my past life experience told me, never ask someone who is stronger than you to do you any favors because of pity on you, and don't expect them to promise you The promise you made will become a reality. No matter what they promised you, as long as they want, they can go back anytime and anywhere, but they don’t need to pay any price at all.”

"So, I don't want to control my destiny in other people's hands. If I have great power in my hands, then I can control my power from doing terrible things. I can let the weapons we control I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. At the same time, with such a powerful force in my hands, those who want to attack us, those who want to restrict us, I am afraid they will never dare to act casually in front of us Do whatever you want. If you want to negotiate, then once they want to break the contract, I also have the power to make them regret breaking the contract.”

"Therefore, Tesla. I hope you understand."

"I want this kind of powerful, a weapon that anyone can use easily, not to instigate killings, nor to annihilate anyone. On the contrary, what I want is peace. It is a weapon that can guarantee the survival of our mermaids." Song, our Pelican City can continue to develop healthily and peacefully, and it is an indispensable power." "This kind of power is definitely not a terrible disaster, but the greatest peace. Do you understand?"

Tesla stared blankly at the girl in front of him.

Now, he suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was no longer the guild leader he was familiar with.

She... seems to have become a completely different kind of person that I am not familiar with... but who gives people a more... more magnificent feeling!

From her eyes, Tesla really couldn't see any violent breath.

These pure eyes are so beautiful no matter when they look at them, but what is revealed in them is a will that is clearer than ever before.

Those eyes are definitely not a pair of eyes that want to kill, but more like a pair of eyes of compassion!

At this moment, Tesla suddenly had a feeling... Although the girl in front of him was shorter than him, there seemed to be a faint halo emanating from her body... a kind of warmth that irradiated people's hearts. Yes, the warm light that people yearn for...

"Yes... president... I think... I almost don't know you..."

Tesla smiled and said.

Ariel also smiled slightly, and responded: "I'm still me, it's just that my thinking has changed a little bit."

Seeing this, Tesla took a deep breath and then exhaled.He raised his hands and lightly pressed them on the table, and his ten fingers tapped on the table with a little excitement.Yes, once he realized that the girl in front of him was not trying to do anything dangerous, an indescribable excitement rose from the depths of the assembler's heart.It was a kind of... a feeling of eagerness to try, this kind of very excited mood he had had when he first assembled the elemental car!

But now, this kind of mood is even more violent, and it is even more difficult for him to contain it!

"Okay... President, I understand! For peace, we need more powerful weapons! I understand... I understand...! Then what do you want to do? Weapons... I only know that you want Make a weapon that someone like you can use easily? Do you have any other ideas?"

Seeing that Tesla seemed to have understood her heart, Ariel was also very happy.

She nodded, tapped her head with her finger, and said, "How about that blessed weapon? That's the kind, the weapon used by the legendary brave! The flower fairy and the others once made a set of weapons for the brave." Armor, the sword of the brave, the bow of the brave! That piece of equipment is very powerful! Even a terminally ill person can become the most powerful master in an instant! The only pity is that if the user is not strong enough, use This set of weapons and equipment will be at the cost of overdrawing life. So, can you design a set of brave suits that do not need to overdraw life energy?"

If Tesla was still a little moved when he heard Ariel's theories about strength and peace just now, then after hearing these specific requirements, Tesla's originally expectant expression suddenly became extremely stiff.

He froze here, and said in a way that he really wanted to hear it wrong: "The brave...suit? You want me...to make it?"

Ariel nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes, that's right! By the way, although these brave suits are very good, they seem to be very troublesome to wear. Therefore, it is best to have one that can be stored at ordinary times. Once Need to use, the kind that can be equipped on the body in an instant. Hmm... just like we can put props in our pockets, we usually put these brave suits in our pockets, and reach into the pockets when we are in danger. , or something, just like we use pocket fire, press a button, then the brave armor can cover our body instantly, and the sword and bow can be directly held in the hand!"

This time, Tesla was even more confused.His mouth was half open, and his jaw dropped as Ariel spoke.After Ariel finished speaking, the assembler's jaw was almost on the table.

"You just let our assembler teach you space magic."

At this moment, the little guy who had been dozing off on the counter over there stretched his waist and yelled this way.

Ariel raised her head, and saw that Napa was flying over slowly with her paws constantly rubbing (harmoniously) wiping her own face.Finally, he sat down on her forehead honestly and bluntly.

"I said you human beings, you have to limit your jokes. The armor of the brave? The sword of the brave? Then it can be stored and used at any time? Do you know how much magic energy is consumed by such a process? What? Don’t you know that you’re just talking nonsense here?”

Listening to the heavy thing on her head, Ariel couldn't help shrinking her neck, and said with a frown, "Napa, have you gained weight recently?"

Napa turned her tail and patted the back of Ariel's head: "You don't care if I'm fat or not."

Ariel pouted, looked at Tesla in front of her again, and asked cautiously: "This...is it really impossible?"

Tesla is now completely frowning, and said: "President...you can let me make a weapon, but this hero suit...and it is the hero suit made by the flower fairies? You also know... I don't have any talent for magic...you are not just embarrassing me..."

Ariel frowned, with pain written all over her face.After thinking about it, she sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, okay, I admit, the suit of the hero is a bit embarrassing for you. Then... how about it, I don't need you to make the armor of the hero or the bow of the hero either, How about you just make a sword of the brave?"

Tesla's eyes froze again: "The sword of the brave?"

Ariel nodded lightly, and at the same time carefully supported the fat cat on her head so that it would not fall off, and said, "That's right, a sword, a very powerful sword with very powerful magic power! I saw it before When the flower fairies make this sword, an ordinary person, maybe even an ordinary person who is not as good as me, holds this sword and shakes it casually! I'll go! Immediately, a sword qi flies out, throwing the sword in front of me. The trees more than 20 meters away have been cut down! The power is really too powerful!"

Ariel tried her best to recall the sword of the brave she had seen in the past, and at the same time tried to describe the shape of this sword: "I remember... I remember the shape of that sword is... yes... the handle looks like It's a leaf-like pattern, and the blade is slightly grooved, and then... um... ah! Mochi! You're here?!"

While Ariel was thinking hard, Mochi walked into the guild with her longbow on her back.She walked towards the counter with a lot of documents in her hands.But suddenly, she heard Ariel calling her.

Mochi froze for a moment, then looked back at the human woman, and after thinking about it, she walked forward with the document in her hand, and said, "I'm here to deliver the document, from the city."

Ariel took these documents from Mochi and put them on the table. At the same time, she pulled the little girl down to sit next to her, and said with a smile, "Aren't you good at drawing? Now help me draw, I will Say, you come to draw, you have to draw a sword."

Obviously, the little vampire didn't think about why he was suddenly held by this human woman and refused to let go.She froze for a moment, and said again with a little refusal: "I, I want to go back, help my mother, sell cigarettes... and there are many things to do..."

It's a pity that Ariel didn't want to let Mochi leave at all, but directly picked up the pen and paper she had just used on the table and stuffed it into her hand, saying: "Well, let me tell you, you draw, It will be over soon! It won't take much time for you! This is the sword of the brave! Aren't you interested? Oh, yes, you may be more interested in the bow of the brave."

Originally, Mochi obviously had no interest in it.But after hearing Ariel say the word "Bow of the Brave", her legs, which she originally wanted to leave immediately, quickly retracted.The eyes also began to emit light, and said: "Brave, bow? Longbow? Give it to me?"

The first thousand and 230 chapters of the handy weapon

Ariel curled her lips, and said with a smirk on the corner of her mouth: "You child, are you really rude? The bow is yours?"

After being said by Ariel, Mochi immediately realized that he seemed a little too thick-skinned.She quickly lowered her head, gently stroking the longbow on her shoulder with both hands, and two shy blushes floated on her face.

Seeing this, Ariel reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will talk to you about the Bow of the Brave later. You can help me draw a picture first! Okay?"

Ariel's persuasion was somewhat useful. After thinking about it, Mochi finally nodded, picked up a pen and paper, and prepared to start.

but……

"Wait, wait a minute, President... I understand. Are you planning to... let me make a weapon that can hit someone 20 meters away with a single swing of the sword?"

The expression on the assembler's face was not at all relaxed, but seemed to be in greater pain.

Ariel looked calm: "Yeah, what's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem." At this time, the cat on her head opened its mouth, yawned, and said slowly, "If the sword of the brave you mentioned is the fairy weapon made by those flower fairies, then The magic power added to this weapon that can attack far away with a wave of your hand is definitely not a small amount. Let alone other ways to cast sword energy, if you simply use wind elements to enchant this sword, you know what it is How much magic power do you need?"

Hearing that Napa is now pouring cold water on her again, Ariel also knows that her proposal may be a little tricky.She frowned and said, "This... isn't the vehicle made by the elemental machine able to run faster than the enchanted carriage? In this way, using the elemental machine to make a sword, can't it achieve this effect? ​​Tesla, What do you think?"

Tesla's face was full of wry smiles: "President, I think you are deliberately embarrassing me."

In this way, Ariel was a little unhappy.She frowned slightly, and said, "Tesla, how can this be called embarrassing you? I know that you are an expert in elemental machines, and I didn't want you to do anything very strange and unique. Something. It’s one, a sword of the brave that can emit sword energy. You see, the elemental machine can easily do many things that ordinary people can’t do? Just think about this kind of thing Think of a way, it should still be possible, right?"

For such a request, the smile on the corner of Tesla's mouth became even more embarrassing.But unfortunately, his embarrassment is not over yet.Because what really made his entire face twitch violently was still behind.

"Ah, that's right! Also, I hope that this kind of sword of the brave can be mass-produced, at least... make a hundred of them first. Since mass production is required, can the production cost be kept down as much as possible? In this way ! I can accept that one sword of the brave needs to cost one hundred gold coins! But I still hope that the cost of making one hundred swords of the brave can be as little as possible to not exceed one thousand gold coins! This condition...is not too much Bar?"

There was nothing but a smile on Tesla's face now.It's the kind of smile with a sense of mental retardation.

On the contrary, the cat that had been lying on Ariel's head couldn't stand listening anymore, stretched out its paw, and patted her forehead lightly: "You don't have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Ariel had a look of indifference: "You have to find a way to work hard in everything, don't you?"

"Ariel, that..."

At this time, Mochi, who had been listening all the time, seemed to finally be able to bear it no longer, and said——

"The sword of the brave is the ultimate weapon against the devil, right? If it is so easy, you can make a hundred swords of the brave, and the devil is too weak."

Now, Ariel finally had a slightly uncomfortable expression on her face.She pursed her lips, and after thinking for a while, she finally said to Tesla, who was already mentally retarded, in a tentative tone: "Really... can't you?"

Tesla seemed to be amnestied, his head was pointing and cramping.

Seeing this, Ariel finally understood. With a disappointed expression on her face, she slumped on her sofa, feeling helpless.

"President...why do you want...the sword of the brave?"

Seeing that the chairman of his family finally showed such a little expectation for himself, but in the end he still showed such a disappointed expression, Tesla seemed a little sorry, and asked.

Ariel sighed, and said like a dead fish: "What other reason can there be? The sword of the brave is strong. It can emit such a powerful force with a wave of your hand. How could you not want it?"

Tesla smiled awkwardly again. He looked at Mochi beside him who looked a little helpless, but still obediently held the pen. After thinking for a while, he said, "President, the so-called strong... you mean What is it? From what you said just now, you are very interested in the kind of attack mode where you wave your hand, and sword energy will fly out to attack far away..."
