Lid bent down, and Felita, who had been rubbing against his leg, immediately opened her arms, trying to wrap her arms around his neck. Lide reached out and patted Felita's head lightly, and Felita immediately lowered her hands and stepped aside obediently. Although she was still in an unconscious state, she still obeyed Lide's orders very well.
Lide stretched out his hand and pressed it on the main hall in front of him, and with a sudden force, several cracks were directly knocked out of the solid masonry. He grabbed a broken brick with his fingers and flew it out, revealing the dark soil underneath.
After that, Lide took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, took out three or four seeds from it, threw it into the soil, and said to Shetong:
"The King of the East should be able to use magic of the wood attribute. Let's speed up the growth of these crops and see what it will look like."
Shetong raised her finger slightly.
The seeds germinate rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and grow into blue wheat seedlings. But it didn't take long for the wheat seedlings to turn yellow and wilt quickly, like a social animal that had worked overtime all day and didn't even eat, and collapsed on the sofa as soon as they entered the house. Lide raised his hand to pull out the dead wheat seedlings, and saw that the roots buried under the soil had turned black and festered, and strangely colored juice dripped from the root tips to the ground, and a faint stench filled the hall.
Lide casually threw the dead wheat seedlings aside, unplugged the cork of the glass bottle, and poured the liquid medicine in the bottle on the soil. This small glass bottle is no more than the size of a thumb, and it contains only a little bit of medicinal liquid. But after falling down, this small piece of soil quickly began to bubble black, like boiling water. After the foam dissipated, the originally pitch-black soil turned a normal brown. Lide poured the few seeds left in the cloth bag on the ground, and looked up at Shetong.
Shetong's fingers trembled slightly, and when she pointed away, the seeds took root and sprouted again. But this time, none of the wheat seedlings withered. All the seeds quickly turned into wheat, and the golden ears of wheat were heavy.
"It actually works!"
She Tong walked down step by step from the high platform of the main hall, looked at the wheat carefully, and even picked off a bunch of wheat ears, and threw them directly into his mouth to chew. Although the taste is bitter, the nutrients contained in it are much higher than the plants in the Black Forest.
In terms of power, the demons, one of the middle six races, are indeed stronger than the humans, one of the lower nine races, but in terms of civilization, humans are far superior to the demons. Farming civilization is far superior to the life in the wilderness where people drink blood. If this kind of crop can grow widely on the land in the eastern region, it is equivalent to introducing a brand new resource, which can fundamentally solve the problem of the weakness of the demons in the eastern region...
At that time, where will the elves be used
"Can you mass-produce this kind of thing?"
She Tong asked eagerly.
"Can."
Lied gave an affirmative answer without hesitation:
"Of course I don't carry too much with me, but as long as Yuxi City is still there, this anti-magic medicine will be continuously produced."
She Tong immediately said:
"Then hurry up and deliver enough medicinal liquid to me as soon as possible!"
At this time, Li De put on a calm look, he smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly:
"The King of the East probably forgot that this is a deal. If the deal is successful, our Yuxi City can naturally supply enough anti-magic potions to the King of the East. But right now, the deal is not over yet."
"Huh... indeed. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
She Tong immediately restrained her anxious expression and returned to an indifferent look. But even if it tried its best to put on the air of the king of the east, the eyes that glanced at the wheat from time to time still showed its inner urgency. Lide saw it in his eyes and said with a smile:
"First of all, this kind of magic that makes plants grow quickly consumes a lot of magic power. I don't think even the King of the East can make the crops in the entire Demon Race East grow up in one go. Then people need to take care of these crops, but we Yuxi City does not have the spare capacity to send so many people to take care of it, so it needs to borrow the lower demons under the King of the East."
She Tong nodded her head and said reservedly:
"It's not difficult. Those low-level demons have no wisdom, and they do things based on instinct. I will send some trustworthy generals of the demons under my command. They have absolute control over those low-level demons. Since they can order Those low-level demons form an army to attack the enemy, and they can naturally order them to give up fighting and engage in production."
Lide nodded. In fact, he had already set his sights on those low-level demons to the west of Yuxi City. Rapid growth, great strength, large numbers, no intelligence, and being able to be manipulated by high-level demons at will, is simply the most ideal cheap labor force, a genuine tool man. It's too wasteful to just use it for breeding. He wants to see the demons who have been appearing as villains since then are farming in the fields in an orderly manner, and see goblins and werewolves holding hands and singing in front of the campfire that labor is the most glorious. Let these low-level demons who could only provide materials before create greater value.
Lied continued:
"Secondly, since we decided to cooperate, during the cooperation period, I don't want Yuxi City to be attacked by the demons again. Not only from the demons in the eastern district, but also from the other three heavenly kings. Once word of the cooperation spreads, other The three heavenly kings will definitely send troops to harass them, and they will try their best to stop them. I hope that the king of the east will be tougher. Yuxi City's production equipment is very sophisticated, and when the war is raging, nothing can be produced."
Shetong snorted coldly and said:
"Don't worry. I can keep a small Yuxi city. What else?"
Lide stretched out one palm, spread out his five fingers, and said with a smile:
"Also, in the future, I, Yuxi City, will take 50% of the harvest of all the crops on the demon land."
As soon as the words fell, the snake's eyes suddenly changed color:
"Why!"
It walked up to Lid, staring at Lid's smiling face with cold eyes, with obvious anger in his voice:
"Use the land in the eastern district for production, use the demons in the eastern district to take care of it, and use this seat to escort you personally. Your Yuxi City is just delivering some medicine, and you will take half of the grain produced by this land! The lion opened his mouth wide." At this level, why don’t you ask yourself?!”
Lide smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and replied:
"Why? Just because I, Yuxi City, can do business with the other three demon kings, but the king of the east has left us, and there is only a possibility of losing all the way."
She Tong's angry expression instantly froze on his face.
Lied continued:
"Talking about production costs, R&D costs, industrial layout and market size, these kings of the east may not understand. So I will just say a very simple truth-there is no one in the whole world except my Yuxi City. The second company can produce this anti-magic medicine. I can stand here and negotiate business with the king of the east, and naturally I can also negotiate business with the king of the north, the king of the south, and the king of the west. Under competition, I believe There's always a King of Heaven who can accept that price. Does the King of the East know what it's called?"
Lid narrowed his eyes, played with the empty glass bottle with his fingers, and said calmly:
"This is called a monopoly. Because Yuxi City now monopolizes the anti-magic medicine, I, Li De, have the qualifications to stand here and talk like a lion."
