Chapter 1292 (1/2)
”I know president Ariel's city is so good, so good, and everything is good, but for our village, even if you're not talking about other cities, it will make us very uncomfortable, you know?”
Igor showed an aggrieved expression again and said, ”President dog, I really suggest you... Go to the big city, so you will know...”
”Haven't I seen a big city? I've been to the capital Hanhai city! I know exactly what big cities look like! I also know that a big city is much better than a remote place like ours! ”
Dog Steyr rudely interrupted Igor's words. He bit his teeth and sat on his bench, looking very unwilling to lower his head.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head and continued, ”everything in big cities is good... But you publicize that big cities are good everywhere all day. What about us in small villages? Young people are fascinated by your propaganda. Life in the village is hard, but now they all go outside. What about our village? When all the old people die, will our village disappear? ”
In this regard, Igor did not speak. He tried the cup in his hand again, blew two breaths, stretched out his tongue and took a sip.
Ariel looked at the so-called village head's room, looked at the simple decoration, breathed out and said, ”what's the matter? Our advertisement last year... Didn't it work? ”
President dogster exhaled, with a little bitter smile on his face, and said, ”at first, some magicians were really interested in our village. However, when they went to our small village and looked at the purity of our magic crystal ore, they never came again. ”
The village head shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: ”actually, I also understand... The magic crystals we used in the guild Championship last time are some magic crystals with slightly higher purity that we tried to select. But now, it's really not cost-effective to let those magicians come to us, select the appropriate magic crystals from so many defective magic crystals, and then leave over mountains and mountains. ”
Dak didn't know much about the battle between the mermaid song and the war song guild. Only after a few words, he frowned and said, ”isn't it cost-effective? If you really have a large amount of magic crystal ore here, is it better to have a large amount? It's really inconvenient for you here, but if you can take out a lot at a time, you can't say you can't make money. ”
For this question, the cream next to him answered him: ”it can't be calculated so simply. If you bring out too many magic crystals, you may lose money for those magicians. ”
Daklio was stunned and looked a little strange. He turned his head and looked at Ariel next to him. He saw that his president was holding up the cup in a very elegant posture and drinking tea slowly. Then he continued to ask, ”lose money? I don't quite understand. ”
Cream smiled and said, ”in fact, the truth is very simple. That is, although we adventurers usually see magicians, it seems to give people a very common and often visible feeling. But in fact, there are a few people with element affinity in this world. ”
”The number of magicians is naturally impossible to increase significantly, and the number is rare. Generally, a magician may not be able to be produced among 100 people. Such a small number means that even if there are a large number of magic crystals, the number that magicians can use is limited after all. ”
”Magicians use a limited number. If you want to make money through magic crystallization, you must pay attention to the purity of magic crystallization. For the mining of magic crystal ore, we must take a small amount of mining means. ”
”It is estimated that magicians who really use magic crystals rarely go around mining magic crystals when they are free, just as we don't build every weapon ourselves. According to my estimation, the magicians who ran to this village can't basically use them themselves, but magic props merchants with element affinity. ”
”Since they are businessmen, they certainly won't let their money-making things suddenly increase in a world where there are not many users. Rare is precious. If the item itself is not very scarce, then we must strictly control the output, or create a variety of concepts to improve the scarcity of certain attributes in this item, because only in this way can merchants make money. If there are more things, there are more choices for magicians who use magic crystals, and the price will naturally drop. Of course, it is a bad thing for magic prop merchants. ”
After some explanation, dak nodded. He glanced at Ariel who put down the water cup next to him and said, ”after staying in the mermaid song for a long time, the growth of combat effectiveness is second. I think I will learn a lot of strange knowledge in the way of making money...”
Ariel smiled noncommittally.
She looked at the sighing village head in front of her and said, ”I see... I thought your village should have developed a little... By the way, what about the members of your war song guild? Didn't seem to have seen it just now? ”
”They? Hehe...... ”
Dogster patted his thigh, stood up reluctantly and said——
”Now I feel that I really shouldn't take them to Hanhai city. After seeing the benefits of big cities, they were able to listen to me at first and wait for the door in the village. But a few months later, as the possibility of others coming to mine became lower and lower, they couldn't help but run outside one by one. Really... Two of them have married... They even have children... Now they just leave their children and run out. They don't know when they can come back... ”
Cream and dak looked at each other, and they both turned their eyes to Ariel next to them. But after seeing their president's thinking appearance, they both shut up and became mute.
At this time, Igor next to him took a sip of the water cup and said, ”in this case... It's really mine. I'm sorry, village head Goust. I shouldn't preach the prosperity and beauty of the outside city without knowing anything. Please accept my apology. ”
After telling the story, coupled with Igor's apology, dog ST's mood is no longer so angry. Now he felt a little uncomfortable and helpless. He could only wave his hand and said, ”all right, it's no use if you don't apologize. Alas... In fact, I also know that even if you don't come, the young people in the village will run away sooner or later. The tax policy has changed again this year, and our guild has been officially cancelled. No one wants to stay in such a hopeless place... I can understand them. ”
Igor thought for a moment, turned the lute behind him and said with a smile, ”how about I weave the deeds of your village into rumors, and then go out and sing all the way? I believe such words will surely enable more people to come to your village. ”
Dog st waved his hand, and there was no convincing gesture on his face: ”all right, all right, whatever you want. It's up to you whether you're a wandering bard or a demon who wants to destroy our village deliberately. Now I don't have the strength to drive you away, and there's nothing to entertain you in our village. Today, you can find a place to sleep in our village and go whenever you want. ”
Ariel breathed out a little, put on a smile at the corner of her mouth, turned her head and looked at the distressed village head in front of her and said, ”to tell you the truth, the situation in your village has exceeded my expectations.”
Dogster nodded, but then he noticed something was wrong, and quickly looked up at Ariel in front of him.
”According to my opinion, your village should at least have some development during this period of time? At least... The road to Guandao should at least be opened up? But now look, your village is completely closed... This situation is really... Alas, it makes people feel helpless. ”
Dogster heard more and more that the words of the mayor of Pelican city were not quite right. Although he didn't know what this kind of abnormality meant, out of an adventurer... And his intuition as a village head, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of water and said shakily——
”President Ariel... Your mermaid song... Came to our magic mine village today. What... What do you want to... Do?”
Ariel shrugged and, with a very sweet and gentle expression, showed the most harmless smile, and said slowly——
”If I say... I want your village to sign a contract with me so that all of you can't disobey me... Are you willing to sign this contract with curse magic?”
————
At night, magic mine village is a very small village. In such a small village, there were few activities that could be called night entertainment, so just after dinner, the light of the whole village almost went out, and everyone closed the door of their dilapidated thatched house and fell asleep.
