"No, on the contrary, I'm saving the elves!" said the old evil lightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"You don't have a fever, right?" Arthas then said solemnly: "The consequences of scattering those things can only greatly increase the strength of the human race, and when the time comes, with their population and powerful alchemy weapons, how can our elven race survive?"
"Little Stephen, don't think that you can buy me by giving me a batch of heavy gifts, I will not hand over the alchemy technology of the goblin clan to you no matter what!" said the Elf King resolutely.
"I said a long time ago, this gift is only for marriage proposals, and it has nothing to do with those drawings!" said with a wry smile: "Why can't you listen to my explanation?"
"Okay! I can hear it!" said the Elven King.
"That's right!" the old evil smiled slightly, and then said unhurriedly: "First of all, I would like to ask my father-in-law, what was the total population of the elf race 10,000 years ago?"
"About 20 million or so~" Elf King said.
"What about five thousand years ago?" asked the old evil again.
"About 12 million!" the Elf King frowned.
"And now?" asked the old evil again.
"5 million!" The Elf King finally knew what the old evil was going to say, and then sighed and said, "Alas, there are fewer and fewer!"
"Yes, it seems that you are also aware of the racial crisis of the elves. The old evil said lightly.
"Nonsense, I'm the Elf King, can I not care about this?" The Elf King then asked, "Little Stephen, you suddenly mentioned this, is there any countermeasure?"
"Almost!" said the old evil laughing.
"Then tell me quickly!" said the Elven King hurriedly.
"Father-in-law, the reason why the number of elves is getting smaller and smaller, I think, the biggest reason should be two," the old evil then said unhurriedly, "The first is the problem of the growth cycle. It takes 100 years for an adult elf to grow, which is a far cry from the 20 years of a human being. In other words, in 100 years, an elf couple can only cultivate one generation, but humans can be born in four or five generations, which is a big gap!"
"Yes!" the elf king said helplessly: "But this is also a helpless thing, the elf clan is born with this weakness, and we can't do anything about it!"
"Yes, we can't do anything about this!" the old evil then said, "But the second reason for the population decline should be war attrition, right?"
"Yes, most of the elves died in battle!" the elven king said bitterly: "Most of the people who really die of old age are women!"
When the Elf King said this, his face was also full of bitterness. Although he didn't like to fight at all, there were times when he couldn't help him. Not to mention anything else, none of the three terrible natural disasters on the Light Continent caused the elf clan to lose tens of thousands of elites, and sometimes even more than 100,000 people. This is undoubtedly extremely fatal to the elven race, which has a sparse population and takes a hundred years to grow at every turn.
"Alas, I also know the suffering of the elves. There is no peace on the continent, and if you want to survive, you have to fight, and this is unavoidable. The old evil then said: "However, if so many people die in every battle, the elven clan is afraid that sooner or later the elf clan will be wiped out!
"Yes, of course I do!" said the Elven King helplessly.
"So, the problem now is that if we want to increase the number of elves, the only thing we can do is to reduce the consumption in the war!" said the old evil suddenly.
"It's very simple, but how can there be immortals in war?" Arthas said with immediate disdain.
"Last time I fought against the Burning Legion, it seems that the elves are almost unharmed, right?"
"Damn, that's because you used the artifact Star Damage!" Arthas said unconvinced, "Otherwise, we don't know how many people we will die?"
"That's right!" the old evil said lightly: "Don't forget, although Star Damage is an artifact, it is also an alchemy work! What it can do, it can be replaced by other alchemy works!"
"I don't quite understand what you mean!" said the elven king, "Are you saying that those broken things of the goblin clan can fight instead of us?"
"Yes!" said the old evil solemnly.
"This can't be!" Arthas said immediately, "Although those things of the goblin clan are powerful, they require a large number of people to control, and they are only suitable for races with large populations, such as humans. And what our elves lack the most is people?"
"Arthas, I have to say, although you are more than a hundred years old, you are still not mature enough!"
"You~" When Arthas heard this, he was almost killed by the old evil, and then he immediately said: "You tell me a mature plan! If you can't say it, you're a little kid!"
"Hehe, it's a pity, the little kid can only be you!" The old evil smiled slightly, and then said solemnly: "Two, please don't forget, the biggest advantage of the alchemy products of the goblin clan is that they don't need advanced cultivation, nor do they need much wisdom, as long as they can have the IQ of a ten-year-old child, they can be used! And such a lowly person is easy to be controlled! For example, the spirit clan in my hand!"
"Ah~" After hearing this, the elf king and Arthas couldn't help but exclaim, especially the elf king, who stood up from the chair directly and excitedly, and then walked back and forth in the living room a few times, and then turned his face violently, and said excitedly to the old evil: "Why didn't I think of it? They have always been looked down upon by the intelligent race, and have even been hunted as magical beasts, and as long as we lend a hand, it is easy to take full control of their hearts. When the time comes, we can assemble an army of spirits under our control. Although their strength is not very good, once they drive those battle equipment of the goblin clan, coupled with our command, they can definitely become a force that sweeps across the continent!"
"In this way, our elven race will not only greatly expand its combat power, but also avoid losing its own people in the war. As long as this development continues, it is not impossible for the elven race to regain its former glory!" Arthas also said excitedly: "Barbarian, I didn't expect that there is a little cunning wisdom hidden in your rude head!"
"You seem to be called Big Brother!" the old evil said, giving him a blank look.
Arthas directly and shamelessly ignored the old evil's words, and asked instead: "This idea is very good, but it seems to be a bit of an obstacle! The most critical point is that those refining gold products, although we have recipes and drawings, but our alchemy technology is only limited to potions and some equipment enchantments, and we are not very familiar with those things, so I am afraid it is not so easy to come up." ”
"It's easy!" the old evil laughed, "I recently took in the four Titan Protoss in the Griffin Kingdom who fought against me, and they promised to help me restore the things related to the refinement of gold products!"
"Hey, that's great!" The Elf King's eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "The alchemy technology of the Titan Protoss naturally didn't say, if they helped, there would definitely be no problem at all." ”
"Of course, there are still problems, our biggest obstacle should be the reaction of the other countries on the mainland, presumably they don't want to see an extremely powerful elven clan appear. Therefore, our plan must be kept secret, and all the steps must be taken little by little, and we must not be surprised!" the old evil instructed.
"Yes, yes, you're so right!" The Elf King immediately nodded and said, "Then let's divide it into two parts, and we will call it the Elf Department, which is responsible for secretly purchasing spirits from all over the continent and secretly training them." And your Star Elf Department is responsible for getting out the alchemy products of the Goblin Department. How?"
"Well, I have no opinion!" the old evil nodded, and then said: "However, this matter must be a long-term plan, and if you want to see results, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years to say less." And I estimate that neither the undead nor the demon clan will be able to prepare for us for such a long time! I'm afraid that their invasion will come again!"
"Yes, the last time you killed the Lich King Sorrow, you were one of the Seven Monarchs of the Undead, and the undead will definitely not give up. And the demon clan has lost 12 demon lords one after another, and the hatred with us has reached an extreme. Although they seem to be calm now, it doesn't mean that they are really afraid of us!" The Elf King frowned and said, "I have a hunch that if they don't come this time, they will definitely be violent! Even, they may join forces! At that time, it will be really troublesome!"
"So, it's obviously necessary for us to quickly improve our strength!" The old evil then said: "Father-in-law, now that you have such an opportunity, will you do it?"
"Oh, what chance?" the Elven King asked curiously.
"The opportunity I'm talking about is this thing!" said the old demon, taking out a god and monster master from his spatial ring and gently handing it over.
The Elf King took it, looked at it for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Let me tell you the truth, I have only specialized in cultivation in my life, and I am not proficient in alchemy at all. So I don't see the way around this thing at all. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly?"
"Hehe, that's good, I'll just say it straight!" The old evil smiled slightly: "This god monster master is a sixth-level mage, and it was created in the way provided by the Titan Protoss. Its ability is very low, and it can only cast a level 3 lightning spell. But correspondingly, it's surprisingly low in cost. If you only count the cost of materials, you can do it with only 2,000 gold coins!"
"2,000 gold coins?" the Elf King frowned, and then said, "The cost is indeed very low. But if you count the labor cost of a sixth-level mage, it doesn't seem to be a small number, how can you have to buy it for four or five thousand gold coins?"
