"A thousand gold coins, not a little less."
It''s a pity that arrow''s lion''s big mouth is far from what this person who has always only studied magic but doesn''t know how to bargain with people is good at.
"What? A thousand?! Why don''t you grab it? "
Facing Eddie''s struggle, arrow was still so relaxed and happy, smiled and said: "first of all, I just said, because Mr. Eddie, your sabotage will lead to a direct loss of income in our town. You must always keep this in mind. I don''t ask you for money on behalf of the mermaid song, but on behalf of our town. The gold coins you pay may not go into my pocket. So for the income of a small town, 500 gold coins are the most basic. Isn''t that an exaggeration? "
When Eddie was confused, ello continued: "after that, the remaining 500 gold coins we need to repair the element machine and element lamp damaged by you. Of course, I know you certainly don''t think you can spend so much money, but don''t forget that this brand-new element machine has just been bought in our town. It will be repaired in less than a month, and it has become a repaired defective product! "
"When you buy something, do you think a repaired thing should sell for the same price as the original one? Something repaired must be discounted, right? Even if the new things that just leave the factory in the morning have to be repaired in the afternoon, it should not be a new price when they are really sold. "
"Therefore, the 500 gold coins include not only the maintenance cost, but also the depreciation cost of element machine and element lamp. Since we have just bought it for less than a month, it is entirely understandable that the depreciation fee is more expensive. "
"The above two expenses add up to 1000 gold coins. I think the price is very reasonable. There are less than two gold coins allocated to everyone in our town. So, dear Mr. Eddie, how are you going to pay? Is there any cash? We welcome cash. Our mayor especially likes shiny gold coins. "
After a series of calculations, Eddie''s eyes almost turned white.
Look at the age of this magician. 1000 gold coins are definitely not a small number even for a magician!
Obviously, he was the flame mage, but now his hands and feet began to become cold, and the whole person also trembled a little. His eyes began to wander restlessly, and his spirit fell into a burst of anxiety.
"This... This price is too expensive!"
Arrow smiled: "it''s a huge sum of money for individuals, but for a small town, I don''t think it''s a big loss."
Eddie rubbed his hands and licked his lips: "then... Can it be cheaper? I really don''t have that much money... Even if I borrow it, I can''t borrow so much! "
Arrow said that he could do nothing, spread his hands and said, "I can only ask you for loss on behalf of our town, but I have no right to lower the price. What if someone in our town disagrees? This may finally put the loss on me and let us fill it with the song of mermaid. I already think the price is a little cheaper. Alas... That''s why people go out. Anyway, don''t casually damage public things. That''s really a huge sum of money. "
"That... That...!" Obviously, Eddie was already worried, and once a person was worried, he would start to lose the rules, "is there any other way? It''s impossible for the association to agree to give me so much money... "
Arrow shrugged and said helplessly, "I don''t want to have other methods, but the reality doesn''t allow it. Well, the needs of our town are very simple. We just want the Valentine''s Day party to be held smoothly tonight. As long as this can be achieved, we will not have any additional opinions. But now that we have decided to be yellow, we can only ask you 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 next to them like a statue.
And they are used to this kind of thing. Sometimes these members even feel that even their own background statues can not exist at all, just let their own president go up and deceive people.
Look, how lovely is this lovely little flame mage fooled? That look was completely an attitude of wanting to kneel on the ground and beg.
However, what really shocked the four members was not how much the president could say. But under these words, the flame mage has now made a move that they can''t think of!
"Can you... Fix this?"
Eddie, with a pale face, pointed to the broken pipeline over there, held Tesla''s back with one hand, lifted him up, and said this sentence sincerely.
In this regard, the corners of arrow''s mouth are still only smiling.
Because of interest.
As long as interests are big enough and heavy enough, driven by interests, human beings can often break through many boundaries that they think they will never break through, and can do many things they think they won''t do at all.
After all
Interests will never go out of date.
Tesla''s expression, how to say? It should be the kind of expression that can be as arrogant as you want.
Facing Eddie''s request, the installer couldn''t suppress the smile on his face and showed it very impolitely.
"Ha! Fix? Hehe, are you begging me? Ha! Dear Lord of the Royal magician Association, are you trying to beg me now? Ha ha ha! "
Eddie''s face was blue and white for a while. It could be seen that his mood seemed a little excited, but it was well suppressed. He said again, "just say, can you successfully repair this thing?"
Originally, Tesla was still tied and struggling, but now he just lay on the ground and refused to get up. He tilted his head, thought about it and said with a smile, "you beg me? Are you begging me? Ha ha ha! Can you fix it? Hey, look at my face. Do I look like the kind of person you ask me a word or two and I''ll agree? "
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. It seems that I really intend to take a good breath of the evil spirit before.
"Hello, Mr. Eddie, have you decided?"
Arrow looked at the sky, and his face looked a little embarrassed——
"If there''s no way to fix it, there''s no way. Should our party be over soon? If I can''t, I won''t embarrass you. Tomorrow, you will continue to take this Mr. Tesla back to life. In a few days, we Pelican town will go to the capital to complain in person, which will make it easier for all of us. "
Lying on the ground, Tesla, who had just won, suddenly turned his head and looked at arrow''s face with surprise: "President arrow? What do you mean? What do you mean I''m bound by him to the capital to recover my life? "
Arrow 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 Pelican town. When did you get the illusion that everything I just did was helping you? "
At this time, Tesla was completely stunned on the ground.
After a little hesitation, he suddenly got up and rushed to Eddie, grabbed his collar with both hands and said, "Hello! I''ll help you. Can you not catch me? "
Eddie was a little stunned, turned her eyes a little, smiled immediately, nodded and said, "of course! You helped me. How can I catch you again? Believe me, our magician will not lie. "
Tesla seems hesitant about Eddie''s current commitment. After a moment of silence, he seemed unable to really believe the magician''s words. Instead, he turned his head and looked at ello here.
"Don''t worry, I believe the magician''s words are not lies. After all, a person who can become a magician must have some quality in this regard ~ ~ ~ "
Arrow smiled and trusted Eddie''s words.
This feeling of trust also made the smile on the flame mage''s face more "exaggerated". He nodded harder and said, "so trust me! As long as you can fix this thing, I''m sure I won''t catch you back to the capital. You must believe me about this! "
"Yes, yes, Mr. Tesla, just trust Mr. Eddie invincible."
Arrow gave a thumbs up, expressed his absolute "trust" and smiled——
"If the people in the capital know that he is a magician of the Royal Society, but turn to help you, the manufacturer of the element machine, to study how to repair an element machine, I believe he will be overwhelmed. Such a big loophole is here, so he can''t talk back. "
In a word, the magician whose face was just full of "laughter" over there was frozen for a moment. He didn''t stare at ello, and the smiles on his face began to look a little embarrassed. A moment later, he could only sigh gently. His smile turned into a bitter smile, nodded gently and said, "yes, you believe me, I will never catch you back. I promise you this in my capacity as a magician. "
With ello''s witness, Tesla looked at the magician and believed it more or less. But before he could say another word, ello looked up at the sky again and said intentionally or unintentionally, "Alas ~ ~ ~ time is coming to an end? Soon everything we said is useless ~ ~ ~ forget it, we''d better catch people who should be caught, catch those who should be caught, and ask for money ~ ~ "
