Chapter Seventy-Three
In the night, the planktonic jellyfish swayed away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When it finally flew out of the range of the green tree wall, the small trees shook their branches and leaves again, and returned to their previous positions, turning into a green wall, covering the sea of flowers.
It was only at this time that the nervous figure on the second floor of the bungalow could be considered to relax.
"Phewβit's finally gone!"
The body that had been holding on to pretend to be calm collapsed on the ground, gasping violently.
"The ...... That power, that might...... The teacher said that every legendary monster grows up by eating countless living beings. Their favorite food is the mutant monsters that originally had no intelligence, but because of the mutation, they became intelligent......"
She muttered to herself, her body trembling again.
"The outside world is terrible! Humans kill monsters, powerful monsters eat monsters, and even weak monsters cheat each other...... Sure enough, a guy like me who is too weak to mention can't leave the teacher's magic tower at all!"
"Oh, what kind of monster are you?" an interested voice sounded beside her.
The slightly petite figure jumped up as if electrocuted, and slammed into the table next to it, grinning in pain, but looking at the green jellyfish floating in front of him, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to scream in pain.
"You...... You...... You...... You are...... How...... How...... How...... Enter...... Enter...... In...... of?"
Because of the trembling, it took her a lot of time to finish in just one sentence.
Sui Xiong smiled and shook his tentacles, imitating Brother Long's movements: "Young man, you are still too young, too simple Tucson broken! Let me tell you some of the elder's life experience." β
"First of all, the more scared you are, the calmer you have to be. If you can't force yourself to be calm, it's better not to speak. β
The petite figure nodded, and the hood slipped down, revealing long hair as beautiful as a sapphire.
"Secondly, you must not let the enemy get close, it's a big deal. You know, the closer the enemy is, the more dangerous it is, and if there is still a chance of survival in long-distance combat, even a chance of survival is lost when the enemy gets close. β
The petite figure continued to nod his head, looking suddenly realized.
"Third, the enemy's things, whether good or bad, should never be taken, and thrown as far as they can be! You can't live without these things, so why should you take them because of a little curiosity? Do you know that in a distant country, there was once a city that had been held for ten years, and finally, out of curiosity, took over the huge wooden horse left by the enemy, and as a result, the enemy hiding in the wooden horse rushed into the city, and it was breached, and finally the people were slaughtered and the city was burned......
The petite figure exclaimed, hurriedly took out a notebook, and recorded it carefully.
"In the end, even if the enemy leaves, you must not relax, you must still be vigilant! Because the enemy will often use temporary departure to confuse you, and turn around and come back to raid when you are relaxed! Since ancient times, when attacking a city, there has been a practice of storming during the day, and then resting in the evening, and then taking advantage of the night to storm when the defender thinks that the enemy has given up!"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile when he saw the petite guy quickly recording it in his notebook, and asked, "Have you written it down?"
"Remember, teacher!" replied the petite figure subconsciously.
In the next moment, she reacted, threw away the notebook violently, and took out a golden scroll, wanting to fight Sui Xiong to the death.
However, it was too late at this moment, Sui Xiong's tentacles had already surrounded her, and in an instant, they wrapped her from all directions, tightly entangling her.
"I'll teach you the real final tip - don't talk nonsense with the enemy, the more nonsense, the more likely it is to have accidents. The floating jellyfish who succeeded in the surprise attack looked up to the sky and laughed proudly, "You must know that the villains all die from talking too much!"
Before he finished speaking, the petite figure entangled in his tentacles trembled violently, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into liquid, escaped from his tentacles, and reunited, turning into the appearance of a human girl.
A blue one with a human-like appearance, a slime.
"Slime?!" Sui Xiong looked at the blue slime that looked like a human girl at first glance in surprise, and asked curiously, "Are you a slime?"
Although the blue slime girl used her natural ability to escape Sui Xiong's clutches, she had already lost the magic scroll used to fight to the death, and she was looking at him tremblingly at the moment, her eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Okay, don't get cranky, I'm really just here to talk about cooperation. Sui Xiong reluctantly raised his tentacles and made a surrender gesture, "I was just joking with you just now, and I was just giving you a lesson by the way." β
He asked, "What about Master Trian? Is he really not here......?" He is a high-level mage who is about to step into the realm of legends, why should he leave his magic tower if he has nothing to do? Don't tell me that this bungalow is not a magic tower, I feel the magic pool underground!"
The slime girl was silent for a while, probably thinking that there was really no possibility of turning the tables, and finally sat on the ground with self-defeat, and said softly: "Teacher...... has passed away. β
"What?!" Sui Xiong was taken aback, "You're not kidding, aren't you?" Look at this magic tower, look at the huge magic array around him, he is about to step into the legendary realm! As a result, he died at this time? You tell you, don't look at my round head and round brain and think I'm a deceitful, I've been through a hundred battles, and I haven't seen any big scenes! You know the god of redemption, right? I talk and laugh with him......
"The teacher died, sixteen years ago. β
Sui Xiong was silent for a long time and sighed: "Please mourn and change." β
The slime girl nodded slightly, mumbled, and fell silent.
After a while, she began to cry under her breath.
Sui Xiong shook his head and flew in front of her, his body vibrating slightly, turning into a slightly shorter appearance than her.
"Cry if you want to, my shoulder, which can be considered a shoulder, can be borrowed from you. β
The slime girl hesitated, but lay on top of him, crying.
β...... So, in fact, Master Trayon has been in poor health since a long time ago?"
"Hmm. β
"Later, he wanted to fight to the death, barely hitting the legendary realm, but failed, and died soon after?"
"Hmm. β
"You were originally his experiment, but in the experiment, you opened up your wisdom, and he gradually educated you to become an assistant. When he was dying, he officially recognized you as his disciple, gave you the name 'Wendy', and left you the last of his wisdom along with the magic tower, and then you have lived here ever since?"
"Hmm. β
"His alchemy, enchantment, and medical techniques, you've pretty much learned them all. But because of the race, the spell ability is very poor, and you can only rely on the assistance of the magic tower to complete these tasks?"
"Hmm. β
"All these years, you have been impersonating a teacher, relying on the business of alchemy and enchantment to keep the magic tower functioning?"
"Hmm. β
"Your teacher told you back then, 'Humans will kill monsters when they see them', 'Humans will boil wisdom slimes and make them into healing elixirs', 'People outside are liars, only teachers won't harm you'?"
"Hmm. β
"So you don't dare to meet people, sneak around all day long, and even ask the golem to come forward to contact you for business?"
"Hmm. β
Sui Xiong sighed deeply: "A simple guy like you has not been killed until now, and the legendary statement that 'Lady Luck prefers fools' does not seem to be a rumor!"
"Isn't the teacher right?" asked the slime named Wendy, who was upset.
It can be seen that she has great respect and admiration for the late Master Trayon, to the point of blind obedience. You don't even believe the nonsense that "humans can boil wisdom slimes and make them into healing elixirs" -- hey! Aren't you a master of both alchemy and medicine? Don't you even know what kind of medicinal herbs slimes can make!
Sui Xiong didn't try to correct her thoughts, but Wendy was stubborn and didn't mean to change her mistakes at all. After several negotiations, His Majesty the Jellyfish God had to reluctantly admit that he had no way to convince her.
Fortunately, Wendy is very accommodating in other ways than being extremely stubborn about "what the teacher says must be right" - or simply weak, and Sui Xiong and her easily negotiated a cooperation plan - Sui Xiong left a clone to help her maintain the magic tower. And she put aside all business for the next period of time, and concentrated on helping Sui Xiong study the corpse of the giant snake, find out the secret of its long life as soon as possible, and then develop a longevity potion.
As a generous and benevolent elder, Sui Xiong certainly wouldn't do something that would kick his partner away as soon as he got it. When discussing the contract, he proposed three options for Wendy to choose from on the distribution of profits after the successful development of the longevity elixir.
Option 1: Wendy estimates the value of this formula herself, and he buys it out at once, and the cash transaction is not in arrears.
Option 2: Wendy gets a 10% gross profit for every one of these potions sold in the future.
Plan 3: In the process of pharmaceutical business, take half a year as a stage, and share a quarter of the net profit of each stage.
Of course, no matter which scheme, the formula of the medicine belongs to Sui Xiong, and the other benefits derived from it also belong to Sui Xiong, and the business plan and measures are completely decided by Sui Xiong. Any potion recipe developed by Wendy that is related to the content of this recipe must be acquired by Sui Xiong unconditionally. Even if Sui Xiong did not buy her formula, she would have to keep the formula for the next fifty years and not serve other apothecaries. And if she is unwilling to continue working with Sui Xiong, even if the deadline is reached, her first work thereafter, the formula, must be owned by Sui Xiong.
As for some clauses such as "no unfavorable remarks against partners" and "must cooperate with publicity and sales", it is even more important.
"And what else can I keep?" asked Wendy angrily.
"The right of publication, you can decide whether your formula is published or not, the right of authorship, your formula must be signed according to your requirements, the right of modification, you have the right to modify your formula, and the right of completeness, I shall not distort or tamper with your formula. Sui Xiong said fluently, "You see, the most important power is still there. β
β...... I always feel like I'm being cheated. β
"How so. Sui Xiong smiled, "When I drew serials for people back then, I signed such contracts. β
"You've ever painted someone else?" the slime girl's attention was immediately drawn to the gossip.
"Yes, that's a very far away, very distant thing......" Sui Xiong smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, looked at the moon that was gradually sinking in the west, and sighed deeply.
My hometown, is there a chance to go back in this life?
