Ai Luo: "You can sponsor as much as you can. I won't force you. So, Boss Quint, how much do you plan to sponsor?"

After thinking for a while, the boss finally stretched out three fingers tremblingly.

Seeing these three fingers, Airl's eyes suddenly lit up! He even said excitedly: "Three hundred gold coins?!"

"Three...thirty...is that okay? Is it too...too little?"

thirty……

This time, it was Ai Luo's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

However, he couldn't allow himself to act too philistine, so this twitching was only for a moment. Then, the guild president showed a smile again and said: "Not a lot, not a lot, how can it be less?

?I also said just now that you can sponsor as much as you have. I didn’t say how much it must be. So, if there is no problem, Boss Quint, tonight... um..."

Suddenly, Ai Luo thought that Cheese was not here yet, and judging from Cream's attitude, there might be something that needed to be done tonight.

After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said, "How about you come to the White Whale Association tomorrow night and we can formally sign a sponsorship contract?"

Boss Quint nodded slightly, with a somewhat uneasy expression on his face, and then slowly withdrew his gaze.

Next, everyone was chatting and laughing again.

During this conversation, Quint's eyes kept scanning the members of Mermaid Song one by one.

After a while, the workshop owner suddenly turned his head again and said to Ai Luo——

"Boss Ai Luo, I want to ask you something. Are you really planning to..."

His eyes glanced at Margaux and Coco opposite—

"Are you going to let... these two girls participate in the guild championship match? This kind of thing has never happened before..."

Ai Luo was stunned for a moment, but Coco across from him looked a little unconvinced and immediately slapped the table: "What's wrong with the girl? Believe it or not, I can knock out all your teeth?!"

"No, no, no! I didn't...that's not what I meant. It's just...it's really..."

Quint thought for a while, as if he had something to hide. After a moment, he seemed to finally make up his mind and said——

"President Arrow, if you really want a lot of money, I know a good way. This method can legally and safely get a large amount of gold coins in one go. And I think this method is really useful to everyone here.

It’s not harmful at all, but I don’t know this method… Would President Arrow be willing to try it?”

Quint looked a little strange. The feeling on his face was as if he knew something bad, but it was also tempting. If you really want to say it... then there is a kind of smoking Du Lengjia.

That feeling before.

When he thought of Du Lengjia, Ai Luo's brain immediately went on guard. He looked up and down at the workshop owner next to him. His legs, which were originally sitting apart like a man, were now closed involuntarily.

"Boss Quint, what... do you mean? What do you want to say?"

Quint obviously didn't realize what kind of stimulation his words had on the guild leader. He just smiled slightly awkwardly and said -

"It's nothing interesting. It's just an opportunity to make a lot of money at once. Well... President, can you lend me a moment?"

Ai Luo looked at the workshop owner, then glanced at the other members, and then nodded.

But just as the two of them stood up and walked toward the window sill, Ai Luo turned back, took off Coco's glasses that had been on the bridge of her nose, put them on her own nose, and then walked out to rest together.

area and came to the balcony outside.

On the balcony, there are also many people chatting here.

The most important thing is that there are many people smoking here.

Balls of gas mixed with the smell of tobacco ignited from the mouths of those people, and finally turned into wisps of smoke and flew into the blue sky, which also made Airl's wariness a little stronger.

"Huh...I wonder if you allow...?"

Quint also took out a pipe from his arms and motioned to Arrow.

Ai Luo thought for a while and nodded.

Then, Quint smiled, took out his tobacco bag, poured some tobacco from it, pinched it tightly, and put it into the pipe. He held the pipe in his mouth, and finally took out the piece of tobacco from his pocket, which was about the size of the nail of his little finger.

After rubbing the magic crystal in my hand for a while, I flicked my finger on the crystal.

A small flame began to tremble in front of Quint's index finger.

He looked at the small fire on his fingertips as if looking at some very precious treasure, cherishing it for a long time.

But no matter how long he cherished it, he could only shake his head helplessly, put the small flame on his fingertip into the pipe, and lit it. Then he pinched off the flame on his fingertip and started smoking.

Ai Luo watched the whole process quietly.

He also has patience and composure.

Looking at the face of the workshop owner, he knew that this man must be struggling with something very important in his heart...

"President Arrow, what do you think of my affinity with fire magic?"

Suddenly, Quint spoke, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.

Ai Luo thought for a while and said: "It's a very interesting magic power. After all, for a person like me who has no magic affinity, even the weakest magic affinity is much stronger than someone like me."

Quint chuckled, but the smile at the corner of his mouth looked extremely ugly.

He nodded gently and said with a smile: "When I was young, I also had an affinity for magic. I thought I could follow the path of a flame magician."

"But... when I was young, my family didn't have much money, so I basically didn't receive any formal training. Finally, when I got a little older, someone thought my magic was quite precious and wanted to teach me, but

I really can’t study, and I still haven’t learned anything.”

After blowing the pipe in his hand, he seemed to be caught up in some kind of memory and continued: "Then, as time became longer and longer, I began to be busy with many livelihoods. I thought about supporting me

I started this workshop business, then married a wife and had children. Gradually, for a long time, I almost forgot that I still have the affinity with fire magic."

"But when I finally had some free time one day and suddenly remembered that I still had such a talent, I discovered that my so-called magic affinity had become so weak. It has even reached the point where I have no magic power now.

With the help of crystals, I couldn’t even ignite such a small fire myself.”

Ai Luo nodded slightly, and waited until the workshop owner finally closed his mouth, as if he was remembering something, before he finally said: "So... Boss Quint, what exactly do you want to say?"

?”

Quint was stunned for a moment, as if he had woken up from his long memory. He shook his head slightly and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I was just talking about myself, but I forgot the most important thing."

He picked up the pipe in his hand and knocked on the stone guardrail next to him again, and said: "My magic affinity is already very weak. It can be said that I am not a magician at all now. But maybe I can regain it now."

If I start learning, I can make some progress in the future, right? But unfortunately, I don’t have the energy anymore. Haha, to put it bluntly, even if you let me put down all my work now, and then send me to Lao Tengshu Academy

, asking me to devote myself to learning fire magic, I guess I don’t have the patience anymore. At my age, it is always so difficult to convince myself to learn something more.”

After taking a puff of cigarette and exhaling a cloud of gas, the workshop owner continued -

"However, although my magic affinity is of no use to me other than lighting a cigarette like this, it does not mean that it is of no use to others."

After another pause for a moment, Quint Hearthstone said slowly——

"Not long ago, a high priest from the Holy See of Light came to me and said that he planned to spend a sum of money to buy the magic affinity in me."

After hearing such a sentence, Ai Luo could hardly believe his ears!

He opened his mouth, and his brain couldn't even turn around for a while! After hesitating for almost five seconds, he quickly shook his head, picked out his ears at the same time, and said again in a skeptical tone: "Wait a minute.

Wait a minute! Boss Quint, you just said... did you just say... that your flame magic affinity... can be sold? Moreover, the person who bought it was the high priest of the Holy See of Light? They came to buy your flames

Magic affinity???"

There were more people on the balcony now, so although Ai Luo was surprised, he still kept his voice down as much as possible.

But this doesn't mean how little he was surprised.

Quint had obviously expected Arrow's current expression. He nodded with a smile, took another puff from the cigarette in his hand, and said: "Yes, you heard it right. The Holy See of Light wants to buy my magic affinity. And

, for a flame magic power with little power like me, they are willing to pay a thousand gold coins to buy it. For President Ai Luo like you... the heir to the count of the Garcia family, a thousand gold coins may be nothing.
