The Value of Monsters

Then, everyone sat back again, eating and drinking happily, and did not disperse until it was almost dawn. After arranging them all in the buildings around the square, the old evil and the old mage returned to the mage tower with the smell of alcohol.

After going back. The old mage pulled the old evil to a room, asked him to sit down, and then said with a smile: "We have made a lot of money this time!" I~"

"Wait!" The old evil didn't wait for the old mage to finish speaking, so he directly interrupted: "It's not us, it's me who made a lot of money!" "

"Hey!" The old mage was not happy when he heard this, and immediately said, "Boy, do you want to eat alone?" "

"Nonsense, I received the people, why should I share them with you?" The old evil said disdainfully.

"Don't forget, I also rescued them!" The old mage said angrily.

"You're picking up cheap!" The old evil pouted: "There are you who are not like you, the strongest ones have been killed by me in seconds, can't you slaughter those trash fish?" "

"But if you let them go, it's trouble, right?" The old mage said unwillingly.

"Trouble fart!" The old evil said disdainfully: "You also know that there are thousands of miles of death Gobi on all sides, without luggage and drinking water, they can't go out at all, even if they hide in the woods temporarily, when my demon explosion spider and bipedal flying dragon king arrive, they are not dead?" "

"You~" The old mage was suddenly speechless with anger, and finally he finally found an excuse and said, "Then these people of yours generally have to eat and drink, right?" A cyclops can eat a hundred pounds a day, and 36 cyclops need thousands of food a day, where do you get it? "

"This, of course, you got it!" The old evil is a little weak.

"Hmph, do you still know that I did it? If you don't give me some benefit, you will wait to starve them to death, right? The old mage said angrily.

"Alright, alright!" The old evil also knew that he couldn't go too far, and besides, he was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of nothing, so he immediately took the opportunity to say: "Isn't it a benefit, I'll give you 50 elves, how?" "

"What?" When the old mage heard this, he fainted, so angry that he jumped up on the spot, pointed at the old evil nose and scolded: "What do I want those shit elves for?" Lao Tzu casually put a sentence, and he didn't grab a handful? I want a cyclops! "

"Cut!" The old evil said disdainfully, "Can those elves of yours be compared with my elves?" "

"Day, what kind of elf is also a fairy, can it be that your elf can still pull out gold?" The old mage roared in anger.

"Hehe, it's really about the same!" The old evil suddenly smiled mysteriously: "My elves can indeed pull out gold!" "

"Are you kid playing with me?" The old mage suddenly said furiously.

"Huh!" The old evil smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal the old mage to sit down, and then said unhurriedly: "You say, what are the advantages of the elves?" "

"They have a fart advantage!" The old mage sat down with a huff and said disdainfully: "If you want spiritual power without spiritual power, if you want strength without strength, it is useless except that you can make me an experimental product." "

"Ha, then you read it wrong!" The old evil immediately retorted: "They are very smart, they can not only speak, but also make and use various tools, and their intelligence is no worse than that of normal humans!" "

"What's the use of that? At most, they can make some simple wooden tables and chairs, can they make a fortune with this thing? The old mage sneered, "You're not crazy about money, are you? "

"What a brainless fool!" The old evil shook his head and sneered.

"What do you mean?" The old mage suddenly said angrily, "Make it clear! "

"Well, then I'll tell you where their real value lies!" The old evil then said solemnly, "There are actually many advantages for them, first of all, their eyesight is very large, almost the size of a child's fist, not only can they see far, but they can also clearly find very small foods, such as ants." In fact, the monsters have ants in their staple food. However, because the ants on this continent are more or less poisonous, before eating ants, the elves must pull out the ants' fangs with their hands to be safe and practical. Although the monsters are very short compared to humans, it is not easy to fill their stomachs with ants, so they sometimes have to squat in front of the ant nest for hours. During this period, while paying attention to the movements around them, they quickly grabbed the ants with their hands, pulled out their fangs, and threw them into their mouths. Over time, they have developed their agility and precision, quick skills, and patience. "

"So what?" The old mage didn't care: "Their innate strength is too small, even if they have agile skills, they are still scum, otherwise they will not be easily caught as slaves!" "

"Why are you so stupid?" The old evil cursed angrily: "Their skills are not used to fight, they are used to manufacture, you think about it, what kind of assistants do you need when refining potions?" "

"Refining potions?" The old mage's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I need an apprentice who is smart, patient, has good eyesight, and has stable and fast fingers!" Ah, do you want to use them for this? "

"Of course!" The old evil said proudly.

"In theory, this is possible, but in practice, no one has experimented with it, and I can't have had the time to teach them." The old mage said in embarrassment, "So this proposal of yours does not interest me!" If I could, I still want Cyclops. "

"What if I say that the fifty elves I provided to you are all systematically trained to distinguish at least a thousand drugs, and they can also test advanced colors?" The old evil suddenly laughed.

"Are you kidding?" The old mage was suddenly surprised.

"Of course not a joke!" The old evil smiled and said, "Now I have 245 elves in my hands, of which 204 were from when I came. Over the years, the knowledge you taught me has been passed on to them little by little, and every time you ask for experiments, I will let those newly added guys replace them, unless they are particularly clever and weird, otherwise they will not be retained. Now, after more than ten years of my ****, most of them can identify and process drugs, and make some simple potions, among which a hundred or so smart guys can also make more complex medicines, and the smartest 32 have even learned to draw magic arrays! "

"Ugh!" The old mage suddenly realized: "No wonder you have spent so many materials over the years, I thought you kid deliberately made trouble, but I didn't expect you to make teaching materials for them, right?" "

"Hehe, good, exactly!" The old evil said with a smile.

"No, I want to see and see!" The old mage immediately said excitedly, "If it's really as good as you say, I will promise you to exchange these 50 elves for those guys' food!" "

"Hehe, follow me, it's all ready!" The old evil smiled and got up.

With that, he walked out, and the old mage hurriedly followed. Soon, the two arrived in a laboratory on the third floor, where 50 elves were already waiting, and they were specially left by the old evil for the old mage. In fact, the old evil did not do this to repay the old mage, but planned to use the old mage to cultivate these elves for himself, after all, those alchemy knowledge is boring and boring, the old evil really can't look at it, but he may still use it in the future, so he simply let these elves learn for himself.
