Banner of the Evil God

In the night, the floating jellyfish swayed away.

When it finally flew out of the green tree wall, those small trees shook their branches and leaves again, returned to their previous positions, and turned into a green wall, covering the sea of ​​flowers.

It was only then that the nervous figure on the second floor of the bungalow finally relaxed.

"Phew - finally gone!"

The body that had been trying to stay calm fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

"That... that power, that power... couldn't be the 'legendary monster' that the teacher once said, right? The teacher said that every legendary monster grew up by eating countless creatures. They are the last My favorite food is the mutant monster that originally had no intelligence, but became intelligent due to mutation..."

She muttered to herself, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"The outside world is so scary! Humans can kill monsters, powerful monsters can eat monsters, and even weak monsters can deceive each other... Sure enough, a guy like me who is too weak to be mentioned can't leave the teacher's magic tower at all. ah!"

"Oh? What kind of monster are you?" An interested voice sounded beside her.

The slightly petite figure jumped up as if he was electrocuted, and suddenly hit the table next to him. He grinned in pain, but looking at the green jellyfish floating in front of him, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to cry out in pain.

"You...you...you...how...how...how...how...in...in...in...in...?"

Because of her trembling, it took her a long time to finish just one sentence.

Sui Xiong smiled and shook his tentacles, imitating Brother Long's movements: "Young man, you are still a fool! Let me tell you some life experiences of the elders."

"First of all, the more scared you are, the more calm you have to be. If you can't force yourself to speak calmly, then it's better not to speak."

The petite figure nodded, and the hood slid down, revealing long hair as beautiful as sapphires.

"Secondly, you must not let the enemy get close, otherwise you will die. You know, the closer the enemy gets, the more dangerous it is. If there is still a chance of survival in a long-distance battle, if the enemy gets close, even a chance of survival will be gone."

The petite figure continued to nod, looking like he was suddenly enlightened.

"Third, never accept the enemy's things, good or bad, and throw them as far as you can! It's not like you can't live without these things, so why should you accept them just because of a little curiosity? Do you know? I know that in a distant country, there once was a city that had been defending for ten years. Finally, out of curiosity, I accepted the huge wooden horse left by the enemy. As a result, the enemy hidden in the wooden horse rushed into the city and broke it. Finally, people They were all slaughtered and the city was burned to the ground..."

The petite figure exclaimed, hurriedly took out a notebook and recorded it carefully.

"Finally, even if the enemy leaves, you can't relax. You must still stay vigilant! Because the enemy will often confuse you by leaving temporarily, and then turn around and attack when you are relaxed! Since ancient times, when sieges, there has been a fierce attack during the day, and then Rest in the evening, wait until the defenders think the enemy has given up, and then attack at night! "

Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile when he saw the petite guy writing down notes in his notebook quickly, and asked, "Have you written everything down?"

"Remember it, teacher!" the petite figure replied subconsciously.

The next moment, she reacted, threw away the notebook, took out a shining golden scroll, and wanted to fight Sui Xiong to the death.

However, it was too late at this moment, Sui Xiong's tentacles had already surrounded her, wrapping around her from all directions in an instant, wrapping her tightly.

"Let me teach you the real last tip - don't talk too much nonsense to the enemy. The more nonsense you talk, the easier it is to have an accident." The floating jellyfish that succeeded in the surprise attack laughed proudly to the sky, "Be aware that villains all die from talking too much. of!"

Before he finished speaking, the petite figure entangled in his tentacles trembled violently. In the blink of an eye, it turned into liquid, escaped from his tentacles, and then reunited, turning into a human girl.

A blue slime with a human-like appearance.

"Slime?!" Sui Xiong looked at the blue slime, which 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 from Sui Xiong's clutches, she had lost the magic scroll used to fight to the death. At this moment, she was looking at him tremblingly, her eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Okay, don't think too much. I'm really just here to talk about cooperation." Sui Xiong reluctantly raised his tentacles in a gesture of surrender, "I was just joking with you and teaching you a lesson."

As he spoke, he looked around and asked in confusion: "Where is Master Trian? Is he really not here? No way... He is a high-level mage who is about to enter the legendary realm. Why did he leave his magic tower for nothing? Don't tell me "This bungalow is not a magic tower, I can feel the magic pool underground!"

The slime girl was silent for a while, probably because she felt that there was no possibility of a comeback. She finally gave up and sat on the ground and said softly: "Teacher... has passed away."

"What?!" Sui Xiong was shocked. "You are not kidding! Look at this magic tower, look at the huge magic circle around it, he is about to enter the legendary realm! But he died at this time? I tell you, don't think I am easy to deceive just because I am round-headed and round-headed. I have been through many battles and have seen all kinds of big scenes! You know the God of Redemption, right? I talked and laughed with him..."

"The teacher is dead, he died sixteen years ago."

Sui Xiong was silent for a long time, sighed: "Please accept my condolences."

The slime girl nodded gently, hummed, and remained silent.

After a while, she cried softly.

Sui Xiong shook his head and flew in front of her. His body shook slightly and became slightly shorter than her.

"Cry if you want to. My shoulder - almost a shoulder - can be borrowed for you."

The slime girl hesitated for a moment, but still lay on him and cried loudly.

"...So, Master Terian's health has been poor for a long time?"

"Yes."

"Later, he tried to make a desperate attempt to reach the legendary realm, but failed and died soon after?"

"Yes."

"You were originally his experimental subject. During the experiment, you opened your wisdom and were gradually educated by him to become his assistant. Before he died, he officially recognized you as his disciple, gave you the name "Wendy", and left you his last wisdom along with the magic tower. Then you have been living here?"

"Yes."

"You have almost learned all his alchemy, enchantment and medical techniques. But because of your race, your spell ability is very poor, and you can only rely on the assistance of the magic tower to complete these tasks?"

"Yes."

"This Over the years, you have been pretending to be a teacher, relying on alchemy and enchantment business to maintain the normal operation of the magic tower? "

"Yes."

"Your teacher told you that 'humans will kill monsters on sight', 'humans will boil the intelligent slime dry and make healing medicine', 'people outside are all liars, only teachers will not harm you' and so on? "

"Yes."

"So you dare not see anyone, sneak around all day, and even let the golem come forward to contact business? "

"Yes."

Sui Xiong sighed deeply: "A guy as simple as you has not been killed and robbed until now. The legendary saying that 'the goddess of luck favors fools' seems to be not a rumor!"

"Is the teacher wrong?" The slime named Wendy was unhappy and asked angrily.

It can be seen that she respects and admires the late Master Terian very much, to the point of blind obedience. She even believes in such nonsense as "humans will boil the intelligent slime dry and make healing medicine" - hey! Aren't you a master of both alchemy and medicine? Don't you know what kind of medicine slime can make?

Sui Xiong did try to correct her thoughts, but Wendy was very stubborn and had no intention of correcting her mistakes. After several negotiations, His Majesty the Jellyfish God had to reluctantly admit that he had no way to convince her.

Fortunately, except for Wendy's stubbornness about "what the teacher said must be correct", she was very accommodating in other aspects - or simply weak, Sui Xiong and her easily reached a cooperation plan - Sui Xiong left a clone to help her maintain the magic tower. And she turned down all the business for a period of time in the future, 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 kind elder, Sui Xiong certainly would not do such a wicked thing as kicking his partners away after getting something. When discussing the contract, he proposed three plans for Wendy to choose from regarding the profit distribution after the successful development of the longevity potion.

Plan 1: Wendy estimates the value of the formula herself, and he buys it out in one go, with no default in cash transactions.

Plan 2: Wendy can get 10% of the gross profit for every bottle of this medicine sold in the future.

Plan 3: During the operation of the medicine, one quarter of the net profit in each stage is allocated to her for half a year.

Of course, no matter which plan is adopted, the formula of the medicine belongs to Sui Xiong, and other interests derived from it also belong to Sui Xiong, and the operation plan and measures are entirely decided by Sui Xiong. Any formula of medicine developed by Wendy that is related to the content of this formula must be unconditionally acquired by Sui Xiong first. Even if Sui Xiong does not acquire her formula, she must keep the formula secret for the next fifty years and must not serve other medicine merchants. And if she is unwilling to continue to cooperate with Sui Xiong, even if the deadline is reached, the formula of her first work thereafter must belong to Sui Xiong.

As for some clauses such as "not to make remarks that are unfavorable to partners" and "must cooperate with publicity and sales", it is even more out of the question.

"Then what can I keep?" Wendy asked angrily.

"Right of publication, you can decide whether to publish your own formula; right of signature, your formula must be signed according to your requirements; right of modification, you have the right to modify your formula; right of integrity, I cannot distort or tamper with your formula." Sui Xiong said fluently, "You see, the most important rights are still there."

"... I always feel like I've been cheated."

"How could that be." Sui Xiong smiled, "When I was drawing serials for others, I signed contracts like this."

"Have you ever drawn for others?" The slime girl's attention was immediately attracted by this gossip.

"Yes, that was a very distant, very distant thing..." Sui Xiong smiled slightly, said nothing more, looked at the gradually sinking moon quietly, and sighed deeply.

My hometown, will there be a chance to go back in this life?

The content of this chapter is absolutely not meant to be sarcastic. In reality, the serialized cartoonists, at least the ones I know, all signed such contracts... Well, that's it. What I don't know is my ignorance, and it is definitely not a fabrication of facts or satire!
