In the night, the floating jellyfish wobbled away.
When it finally flew out of the green tree wall, those small trees shook their branches and returned to their previous positions, turning into a green wall and covering the sea of flowers.
Until then, the nervous figure on the second floor of the house finally relaxed.
"Phew — it's finally gone!"
She had been pretending to be calm, but now she collapsed on the ground, panting violently.
"That … That power, that aura … Could it be the 'legendary monster' that teacher mentioned before? His teacher had said that every Legendary monster grew by eating countless living beings. Their favorite food is the mutated monsters that originally had no intelligence, but became intelligent because of mutation … "
She said to herself, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"The outside world is really terrible! Humans will kill monsters, powerful monsters will eat monsters, and even weak monsters will deceive each other … As expected, I'm so weak that I'm not even worth mentioning. I can't leave my 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 she had been electrocuted, and suddenly hit the table next to her. She grimaced in pain, but looking at the green jellyfish floating in front of her, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to scream.
"You … You … You … How … How … How … How … How … Come … In … In … In …"
Because of her trembling, it took her a lot of effort to finish a short sentence.
Sui Xiong smiled and shook his tentacles, imitating Brother Dragon's movements. "Young man, you are still so naive! Let me tell you some life experience of an elder. "
"First of all, the more scared you are, the calmer you should be. If you can't force yourself to be calm, you might as well not speak. "
The petite figure nodded, and the hood slipped down, revealing her beautiful sapphire-like long hair.
"Second, you must never let the enemy get close to you. At worst, both sides will die. You know, the closer the enemy is, the more dangerous it is. If you fight from a distance, you still have a chance of survival, but if the enemy gets close, you won't even have a chance of survival. "
The petite figure continued to nod, as if she suddenly understood.
"Third, don't accept the enemy's things, no matter whether they are good or bad. Throw them as far as possible! You can't live without these things. Why should you accept them because of a little curiosity? Do you know that in a faraway country, there was once a city that had defended for ten years. In the end, out of curiosity, it accepted a huge wooden horse left behind by the enemy. As a result, the enemy hiding in the wooden horse rushed into the city and broke through. In the end, the people were slaughtered, and the city was burned to the ground … "
The petite figure exclaimed, hurriedly took out a notebook, and carefully recorded.
"Finally," the petite figure exclaimed, and hurriedly took out a notebook and seriously. This was because the enemy would often use the excuse of leaving temporarily to confuse you, and take advantage of the moment when you were relaxed to turn around and attack! Since ancient times, when besieging a city, they would attack fiercely in the day and rest in the evening. When the defending side thought that the enemy had given up, they would attack fiercely at night! "
Sui Xiong saw the petite girl quickly recording in the notebook and couldn't help but laugh. He asked, "Did you write it all down?"
The next moment, she reacted, threw away the notebook, took out a golden scroll, and wanted to fight with Sui Xiong.
However, it was too late. Sui Xiong's tentacles had already surrounded her, and in an instant, they wrapped around her from all directions and tightly entangled her.
"I will teach you the real last trick — don't talk nonsense with the enemy. The more nonsense you talk, the easier it is to have an accident."
The floating jellyfish, who had succeeded in the surprise attack, looked up to the sky and laughed triumphantly. "You know, villains die because they talk too much!" The floating jellyfish, who had succeeded in the surprise attack, looked up to the sky and laughed triumphantly. "You know, villains all die because they talk too much!"
Before the voice died away, the petite figure entangled by his tentacles trembled violently, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into liquid, escaped from his tentacles, and reassembled into the appearance of a human girl.
A blue slime with a human-like appearance.
"Slime?!" Sui Xiong looked at the blue slime that looked like a human girl in surprise and asked curiously, "Are you a slime?"
Although the blue slime girl used her talent to escape from Sui Xiong's clutches, she had lost the magic scroll that she could use to fight to the death. At this moment, she was looking at Sui Xiong with trembling eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Well, don't think too much. I really came here to talk about cooperation." Sui Xiong helplessly raised his tentacles and surrendered. "I was just joking with you, and teaching you a lesson by the way."
He looked around and wondered, "Where is Master Trian? Is he really not here? No way … He is a senior sorcerer who is about to step into the legendary realm. Why would he leave his magic tower? Don't tell me that this house is not a magic tower. I can feel the magic pool underground! "
The slime girl was silent for a while. Maybe she felt that there was no possibility of a comeback, she finally gave up and sat on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Master … has passed away."
"What?!" Sui Xiong was shocked, "Are you kidding? Look at this magic tower, look at the huge magic circle around it, he was about to step into the legendary realm! But he died at this time? Don't think that I am easy to fool just because I am round. I have been through many battles, and I have seen all kinds of big scenes! Do you know the God of Redemption? I talked to him happily … "
"Master is dead. He died 16 years ago."
Sui Xiong was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, "My condolences."
The slime girl slightly nodded and said nothing.
After a while, she began to cry in a low voice.
Sui Xiong shook his head and flew to her. His body slightly shook, and then he became a little shorter than her.
"Cry if you want, and I'll lend you my shoulder--a shoulder--a sort of shoulder--to you."
The slime girl hesitated for a while, and then she lay on Sui Xiong's body and cried loudly.
"… So, Master Trian has been in poor health for a long time?"
"Yes."
"Later on, he wanted to fight to the death and forcibly break through to the legendary realm, but he failed and died not long after?
"Yes."
"You were his experimental subject, and you gained wisdom in the experiment, and then he gradually taught you to be his assistant. When he died, he officially recognized you as his apprentice, and gave you the name 'Wendy'. He also left the last bit of wisdom and the magic tower to you, and then you have been living here? "
"Yes."
"You have almost learned all his alchemy, enchantment, and medical skills. But because of your race, your magic ability is very poor, and you have to rely on the help of the magic tower to complete these tasks? "
"Yes."
"All these years, you have been pretending to be my master, and maintaining the normal operation of the magic tower with the business of alchemy and enchantment?"
"Yes."
"Your master told you that 'human beings will kill any monster they see', 'human beings will boil the intelligent slime and make it into the holy medicine', 'human beings are all liars, and only my master will not harm you', and so on?"
"Yes."
"So you don't dare to meet people, and you even ask the magic statue to deal with your business?"
"Yes."
Sui Xiong sighed deeply, "You are such an innocent guy, and you have not been killed yet. It seems that the saying 'Lady Luck loves fools' is not a rumor!"
"Is what my master said wrong?" The slime named Wendy was not happy, and asked angrily.
It was obvious that she respected and admired the late Master Trian very much, and she was almost blindly following him. She even believed in the nonsense that "human beings will boil the intelligent slime and make it into the holy medicine". Hey! Aren't you a master of alchemy and medical skills? Don't you know what kind of medicine can be made from slime?!
Sui Xiong tried to correct her thinking, but Wendy was very stubborn, and she didn't want to correct her mistakes. After several negotiations, His Majesty the jellyfish god had to admit that he couldn't persuade her at all.
Fortunately, Wendy was very flexible in other aspects, except for the fact that "what her master said must be right" — or simply, she was weak. Sui Xiong and she easily reached an agreement on the cooperation plan — Sui Xiong left a doppelganger to help her maintain the magic tower. And she refused all the business for a period of time, and focused on helping Sui Xiong to study the giant snake's body, and find out the secret of its long life as soon as possible, and then develop the longevity potion.
As a kind and generous elder, Sui Xiong certainly wouldn't do such a wicked thing as kicking his partner away when he got what he wanted. When discussing the contract, he put forward three plans for Wendy to choose from, regarding the distribution of the profits after the longevity potion was successfully developed.
Plan one: Wendy could estimate the value of the formula, and he would buy it all at once, and no cash transactions would be delayed.
Plan two: In the future, every time this potion was sold, Wendy could get 10% of the gross profit.
Plan three: In the process of operating the potion, Sui Xiong would give her a quarter of the net profit of each stage, every half a year.
Of course, no matter which plan it was, the formula would belong to Sui Xiong, and other benefits derived from it would also belong to Sui Xiong. The operation plan and measures were completely decided by Sui Xiong. Any formula developed by Wendy that was related to the content of this formula must be bought by Sui Xiong unconditionally. Even if Sui Xiong didn't buy her formula, she had to keep the formula secret for the next 50 years, and couldn't serve other pharmaceutical merchants. And if she didn't want to continue to cooperate with Sui Xiong, even if the deadline was reached, her first work in the future must belong to Sui Xiong.
As for some clauses such as "not to make any remarks that are unfavorable to the partner", "must cooperate with the promotion and sales", and so on, they were not a problem.
"Then what else can I keep?" Wendy asked angrily.
"The right of publication. You can decide whether to publish your formula 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. The right of integrity. I can't distort or tamper with your formula," Sui Xiong said very fluently. "You see, the most important rights are still with you."
"… I always feel that I've been cheated."
"How could that be?" Sui Xiong smiled. "When I drew for other people to serialize, I signed such a contract."
"You also drew for other people?" The attention of the slime girl was immediately attracted by this gossip.
"Yes, that was very, very long ago …" Sui Xiong smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. He looked at the gradually setting moon and sighed deeply.
My hometown, will I have a chance to go back in this life?
