Gold is Justice

After all, Gouster raised his neck and drank the water.

Ariel shifted her gaze slightly, and saw those villagers who were hiding in the house, but poked their heads out to look at the villagers from time to time. After a little thought, she put down the cup she was about to raise, and said: " Village Chief Goust, what’s the matter with you, please tell me? It’s better not to hide it.”

Gouster chuckled, put down the water glass in his hand, and said, "President Ariel, when you made that proposal yesterday, to be honest, I was really shocked! After dinner, I I've been wondering what exactly do you mean?"

"My brain is not very smart, so my thinking may be slow. I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of a very possible point!"

"I don't know if I'm right? Let me just say it, and you, just listen to it. You want us to sign a contract that won't betray you. In other words, you want to give us benefits. And after you give During this period of being with us, you should know that we have nothing to return to you."

The first thousand 290 chapter four contact process

"However, although there is no right now, but after you have given us some kind of benefits, we will have something to repay you in the near future! In order to ensure that our rewards can directly fall into your hands, Rather than falling into the hands of others, that's why we hope that our village can sign this kind of contract with you that will not be violated!"

"If you think about it this way, our village itself should have nothing to give you. We only have thirty or so people, and what can a run-down village with many young people run away give you? But, If you plan to invest in our village and let our village develop, then the logic here will be smooth!"

"So I boldly guess, President Ariel... No, Baron Ariel Garcia! Mr. Mayor of Pelican City! You came to our Demon Mine Village this time not to get lost or to visit an old friend , but you want to come to our village to invest, right?! When other people have not been able to invest in our magic mine village and let those magic crystals be transported out, you plan to come and inject vitality into our village, right?! "

I can't say that it's almost inseparable, I can only say that this dog, the former president of the Warsong Guild, really has a sharp mind.

In fact, it’s not surprising if you think about it carefully. A person who can form a Warsong guild in such a remote village, and can also lead this guild to enter the guild championship match to qualify for the top eight, and then become the leader of this guild at such a young age. How could a tall man be a guy without any brains?

Now that the words have been spoken, Ariel no longer pretends.She nodded slightly, smiled and said——

"Mr. Dogster, since you've seen it all, let's talk about some serious business now. I'm not talking to you as the president of the Mermaid Song Guild, but as the mayor of Pelican City. As the identity, I am talking to the head of the Gouster village in the magic mine village. Is this okay?"

Immediately, a large amount of brilliance appeared in Dogster's eyes, he nodded repeatedly, and said, "Naturally! Mr. Mayor Garcia, please tell me! I absolutely know everything, and I can say everything! What do you want to know? Want to know?" What are you going to invest in us?"

Ariel exhaled and took a sip of the water in her hand.Well, the mountain spring water is quite sweet.

As the others began to eat, she said slowly—

"Mr. Dogster, in the name of the current Blue Bay Empire's Majesty, Belan XIII, Pelican City now belongs to an experimental area in our country." "In fact, it's not just Pelican City, but the entire border The province belongs to an experimental area. In this experimental area, His Majesty today allows us to use the new source of power, the elemental machine. The existence of the elemental machine does not require the operation of a magician, nor does it need to go through With hard training, you only need to master some very simple operation steps, and you will be able to display things that are ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times stronger than ordinary people."

"However, the operation of the elemental machine requires magic power crystallization. Let me just say it directly. It is too wasteful to directly purchase those magic power crystals that cost one gram and one gold coin. So I want to get my own magic power crystallization mine. Therefore, I thought of you here, and hope that in the next few years, we can reach a strategic partnership."

"To put it simply, we, Pelican City, will contribute money to help your Demon Mine Village open up roads, so that your village can have a road leading directly to the pipeline, and inject capital into your village, so that your village can also be prosperous and strong. .Conversely, I also hope that after the construction of roads and mining facilities, our Pelican City will have the first right to purchase magic power crystals, and you can also buy these magic power crystals at a very low price."

"These are my thoughts. I don't know if Village Chief Goust has any questions?"

Warsong Guild returned to the village not long after losing the quarter-finals that day.It's not because they don't want to spend the Holy Night Festival in Hanhai City, it's because the price of goods in the capital is really high, and they who have been eliminated naturally have no reason to spend the money the villagers have worked so hard to save purely for a festival.It was precisely because they were not able to have fun and play that they were completely unclear about the elemental car incident after the Holy Night Festival, which also made Goust a little confused when listening to these topics.

However, Ariel's words of "inject capital into your village" immediately swept away all the incomprehensions just now, so Gost immediately understood!

At that moment, he stood up excitedly, with trembling lips, and said nervously: "Mayor Garcia...Mayor Garcia! No problem...no problem! Are you willing...you are willing to help us build the magic mine Village! Build our hometown! In this way... everyone who went out to work in this way can come back! As long as you are willing to invest... I can agree to anything! I am willing to agree to any conditions!"

The man's expression was sincere.

I believe his heart must be as sincere as his expression now.

Ariel has no doubts about this.

After all, if anyone is willing to give himself a helping hand when he is in a desperate situation, then I believe that he will also be willing to give everything for the other party.

Therefore, Ariel is very sure that Gost's current promise is true and sincere, without any conditions attached.

Of course... it's only now.

Sometimes, even Ariel herself feels tired. Why are humans such repetitive creatures?Even if you once sincerely wanted to give everything for someone, but as time goes by, as the situation changes, and as the greed in people's hearts grows...the former sincerity will gradually become the last A moral window paper, the last simple little gap just waiting to be bridged.

Of course Ariel is willing to believe that the village chief is pleading and loyal to her now, but in the same way, as a businessman, as a president, as a mayor, she will not make a decision just because of a person's sincerity at this moment. Put all your money into the love of this village.

At that moment, Ariel took a sip of water, ate two bites of breakfast, got up, said with a smile: "Now that you know what I think and I'm willing to invest, can the village chief Gousite bring Shall I go around first? I want to know what the current situation in your village is like."

Hearing Ariel's words, Gost didn't seem to be aware of the vigilance in the mayor's heart. He also finished his breakfast in two or three bites, got up and said: "Of course, this is of course! I will give it to you immediately. Introduce! Introduce immediately!"

As the breakfast time ended, Gouster immediately led the way, and the people leading Song of the Mermaid began to turn around the Demon Mine Village.

The Demon Mine Village is not very big in general, with a mere twenty or so houses scattered around, and the hillside over there can barely cultivate a piece of Susukina, so that the villagers here can barely maintain a situation where they will not starve to death.

The overall facilities of the village looked very dilapidated, and even the fences were covered with moth-eaten black spots, which seemed to have not been replaced or repaired for a long time.

There is a mountain spring well in the village, but it is only used as a supplement. The villagers mainly use a small mountain spring waterfall on the back mountain.According to Gost, this well is only available in winter when the mountain spring freezes.

After going around in a circle, Gost finally led Ariel and others to the real center of the magic mine village, which is also the biggest goal of Ariel's visit - the magic crystal mine.

This mine is not far from the magic mine village, but it may seem a little hidden.If it weren't for the villagers here, even if they walked around the whole village a few times, they might not be able to find the entrance to the mine.

After walking back and forth along a small path in the mountain road for about 10 minutes, a canyon with sharp cliffs on both sides appeared in front of Ariel.At the end of this canyon, there is a shallow cave.

It's just that on the rock wall of the cave, there are all kinds of magic crystal ores everywhere.It seems that as long as a small stone is casually broken from here, it may be an elemental crystal.

Ariel stood in front of the cave, stuck her head out and looked inside.

The cave is not deep, but it continues for a distance of about two or three meters.Rather than saying it is a cave, it is more accurate to say that it is a concave hole.

Looking down, the ground is covered with crystal stones of various elements.These crystal stones, which are very expensive in the outside world, are randomly placed here like ordinary stones, and no one is willing to pick them up and use them.

Ariel lowered her head, and after searching for a while, she picked up a piece of elemental crystal that seemed to be flickering with yellow-brown lightning inside, and weighed it in her palm.Afterwards, she turned around and handed the magic power crystal to the gel that followed.

"City...Mr. Mayor...?"

Facing Jelly's surprise and fear, Ariel just smiled slightly and said, "Feel it, and see what you can feel?"

Seeing Ariel's smiling face, Jelly trembled all over, then nodded vigorously, covered the magic crystal with both hands, and closed her eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the affinity and similarity of the elements. Soon, his hands slowly opened, and countless thunder and lightning shuttled back and forth between his palms, forming within the square-sized palms. There was a terrible thunderstorm!And in the center of the lightning storm, there was that piece of lightning magic power crystal suspended there.

Along with the louder and louder crackling sound from Jelly's palm, the magic power crystal also began to tremble continuously, as if it was being subjected to some kind of terrible pull.

Just when Jelly, with a happy smile on her face, raised her head to see that Ariel was about to accept the mayor's compliment, suddenly!The lightning magic power crystal in the center of the thunder storm shattered suddenly, turning into some gray stones and dust scattered.At the same time, the group of thunderstorms also disappeared, and slowly returned to tranquility.

"Mayor...I...this...I..."

Jelly frowned, looked at her hands with no such powerful lightning elements, and said apologetically——

"I'm sorry...I...I screwed up...but I won't screw up next time! Next time...never!"

"Okay, don't worry, the president didn't blame you."

When Jelly was emotional, Dak behind him stretched out his hand to press his shoulder, and said with a smile——

"The president originally wanted to test the quality of the elemental crystals here. It is impossible for a normal elemental crystal to be exhausted just because a magician extracts energy once, so this can also prove that the quality of the elemental crystallization here is indeed not very good. .”

Perhaps, Duck's words were just comforting Jelly, but his words undoubtedly fell into the ears of Dogster next to him.

The mayor said with a face that wanted to hide: "This is just the beginning! President Ariel, who knows if we continue to cultivate, will there be any super high-quality elemental crystals found in this mine? At that time, you can It’s just a fortune!”

Ariel didn't reply immediately, but just looked up and down the mine, walked in, reached out and touched the colorful rock walls, watching so many elements crystallized in so many stones and kept going back and forth Jumping, flashing.Such a scene is really full of "magic". If this kind of place does not appear in such a deep mountain and old forest, then it would be a good place for Ariel to protect it and make it a tourist attraction.

After reading the specific situation of the magic crystal mine, everyone began to turn back.

Along the way, Ariel kept pinching her chin and thinking carefully. This kind of silence made Dogster next to her a little nervous. For a while, she didn't know if she said or did something wrong. I began to worry again whether the mayor thought that the mines in his village were not good, and now he started to regret and refused to give money?

Back to the very center of the village, at this time, some villagers have already prepared lunch - some roasted sweet potatoes.

Ariel was about to reach out to grab a piece of sweet potato, but the dog over there immediately stood in front of Ariel, showing an embarrassed smile, then reached out to pick up the largest sweet potato from the table, and took a breath , tore off the skin on the top, revealing the roasted golden-colored melon flesh inside, and handed it to Ariel.

Ariel gave him a blank look, walked around him, picked up another piece of baked sweet potato from the table and peeled it, and said, "I've basically seen the situation, now let's have lunch."

Afterwards, the other guild members also stepped forward, each took a piece of sweet potato and began to eat, even the elf Ego who had been wandering around with the song of the mermaid all morning, he was also happily holding a piece of sweet potato. For a piece of sweet potato, Gouster was left alone in the wind, looking at a loss.

"Master Goust, to be honest, although the mines in your village may be regarded as rich ore in terms of quantity, in terms of quality, they may indeed not be very suitable for use as magic materials for magicians."

Before bargaining, deliberately belittle the other party's products. Although this routine is old-fashioned, Ariel still feels that it has been tried and tested.

Gouster hurriedly returned to his seat and sat down, and said nervously: "Mayor Garcia! The situation of our village...you knew about it early on!"

Ariel nodded, took a bite of the sweet potato, and continued: "I do know, so I'm also thinking about it. The quality of your mine is indeed not good, but it's better than nothing. Well, let me tell you my thoughts first. "

After a slight pause, Ariel stretched out her hand, made three gestures, and said——

"In order for your Demon Mine Village to achieve the work I want, at least three points need to be met. That is, population, transportation, and reclamation methods."

"It can be said that your village currently does not have the construction of these three points. The most important of these is that the population of your village is gradually shrinking, and the transportation that can greatly reduce transportation costs does not have a direct connection to the official road in your village. roads. Even if there are, they are not open enough to meet my needs."

"So, before I recover my investment, I need to invest in your place first, open up a road, and then let the population of your village return. In this case, what I need to do is not only to give you money So easy."

At the moment, Gouster patted himself on the chest and said loudly: "You can completely trust me on this! You don't need to think about how to get people back and open up roads. As long as you are willing to invest, I will help you with these things. You solve it!"

It's really a bold statement~~~!

It's just that Ariel has also seen some people go out to spend time and drink by themselves immediately after taking the investment, and then run away secretly when the investors come over and want an answer.

At the moment, Ariel waved her hand and said with a smile: "I can leave it to you to solve it, and I will give you money, but I will not invest all my money in one go, but in stages. And during this time Inside, I will send someone to monitor you."

Dogster: "That's absolutely fine! Mayor Garcia, you can send anyone to supervise! If I dare to do anything harmful to the village, you can kill me directly!"

Again, Ariel doesn't believe in such a promise made on the spur of the moment.

At the moment, she continued: "Actually, besides I will invest in you to mine, I have another request that I hope you can agree to."

Gouster was a little nervous for a while, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The first thousand and 290 five chapters listen to the singing of the lute

Ariel exhaled, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Since I have invested in your Demon Mine Village, I hope to have the right to buy at the best price and the first to buy this mine for the next ten years. In other words, I hope that how much these magic power crystals should be sold to me is up to me, and you are not allowed to sell these magic power crystals to others until my purchase quantity is met. As I said before, I will send my people to Come to supervise your village, I will count how many magic crystals you should produce every year."

Hearing such rhetoric, Cream couldn't help but whistled, looked at his president, and chuckled.

Duck frowned slightly, showing some dissatisfaction with this obvious behavior of taking advantage of others' danger.

Similarly, Dogster in front had the same expression and said, "Mayor Garcia, it's all right if you want the right of first refusal, but... you still have the pricing power? This..."

Ariel tilted her head and said with her innocent and pretty face, "What? You don't want to sign my investment contract?"

Dogst quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no! I...how could I disagree? It's just...just...if you insist from now on that we will give it away for free, or you can buy it with only one iron coin If there is a ton of magic power crystallization, what shall we do?"

Ariel exhaled slowly, as if she had expected this scene a long time ago, and then said: "Of course I won't buy it at a price that is too cheap, at least I will ensure that your village can flourish. In fact, I Not only will I not give you money, but after your village is remodeled, I will select one of you villagers who has made outstanding contributions to the mining industry to come to Pelican City every year, and then I will use ten gold coins for a month The price recruited him as a consultant for magic power crystals, and we will discuss the power of magic power crystals together."

Hearing the word "ten gold coins", Gouster's jaw hit the ground at once.

And the other villagers also dropped their jaws in shock!

For such a small village, it is rare to see one gold coin every year, but now, can you earn ten gold coins a month? !This is simply an astronomical figure for them!

"So... so much...?! So much money?!"

It took a long time for Goist to stammer his words.
