Lord of Rot

Chapter 653 Elves are the natural enemies of capitalists

Night Elf King Heselden is sitting on his throne. He is used to closing his eyes. While pursuing the free air and moonlight on the ground, he hates the sun, so he closes his eyes like this most of the time, occasionally shaking. The long pointed ears twitch, but they only keep annoying things out.

He hated human greed, but found that his tribe liked human gold coins.

Money is the most evil thing. It allows people with pure hearts to pursue material and desires. But Heselden doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. Elves are a long-lived race. Even if they are seduced by human things, they can draw a few pictures. A hundred years can always be enough.

Footsteps were approaching, and there was an unpleasant aura approaching.

He opened his eyes, and his deep eyes felt uncomfortable in the slightly bright environment during the day. Most of the opponents were legends of the Blackwater Swamp. Although they were forced into a human form, they could not hide the stench on their bodies.

Legends are also divided into three, six or nine levels, and this group of legends is the weakest level.

Only the front made him pay attention.

The shackled woman in the green skirt was looking around curiously. The pair of dragon horns on her head caught Heselden's attention, but he couldn't remember when an unknown dragon would appear.

Just when Heselden was looking at the shackles on the other person's neck, the dragon girl glared at him hatefully.

Although he is a guest, he is very rude.

Heselden looked at the black-haired human... he should be a human, handsome in appearance, but compared with the night elves and dragon girls, he was not perfect, but had some flaws.

For example, the jawline is too sharp and the bridge of the nose is high.

But the aura on the other party made Heselden dare not ignore it. It must be the other party that made the Archduke Poisonous Toad surrender.

He is a somewhat tough-looking, but seemingly easy-going person.

The Grand Duke Poisonous Toad was not killed, but instead was alive and kicking, which showed that the other party was not ruthless.

But for a human to become a legend at such a young age, his talent is rare to see in a century.

"On behalf of the Blackwater Swamp, I hope to become an ally and make a deal with the Rhodes Elf Forest."

The other party didn't seem to be negotiating, but instead felt like "I put a knife on your neck, I want to reason with you, I hope you can agree with me", which made Heselden very unhappy.

"Sorry, I haven't introduced you yet. I am Reacher Clarence, the new lord of Blackwater Swamp."

"King of the Elven Forest of Rhodes, pioneer of the night elves, believer of the moon, Heselden!"

Li Qi frowned.

Is that how it was introduced? It's all because he is so famous in his hometown. No one doesn't know him. Whether it's children's textbooks, little books, or ladies' private newspapers, as well as various promotional posters, he is all there.

It is really not a joke to say that he can travel across the entire plane by just brushing his face.

So I should add one more sentence, the lords of Lulea material plane and Yinen material plane?
  As for the previous conquerors of flames and those favored by gods, they are too insignificant to mention.

Let’s talk about the believers of the moon. The moon god’s head was taken off by himself and made into a succubus maid. The believers of the moon really have no cards.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't pass the corpse test, Li Qi would have had an extra god as a bed-warming maid.

Heselden didn't want to antagonize a strong man, especially when Blackwater Swamp had basically no loss of strength, but had gained two more strong men out of thin air.

"What do you want to trade?"

"Hmm...gold coins?"

"Gold coins?" Heselden asked.

"Are there any weapons? Food? Protective gear?" Li Qi sat back. The girl in a green skirt beside her turned her head in shock and found that the ground beneath her was surging and a chair had grown.

The silent magic release is even more proficient than the dragon himself.

There seemed to be an extra chair, but even Heselden was startled because he failed to notice how the chair appeared.

There was no spell, no magic fluctuation, it was as if time really sped up at that moment, and a chair "grew" out of the ground.

Li Qi casually took out a piece of meat from his pocket and looked at the girl in the green skirt beside him: "Can you breathe fire?"

"I am a green dragon!"

"Then go and learn." Li Qi frowned. If Habakak was here, even if he was a white dragon, he would learn to use fire magic just to make barbecue for himself in time.

He threw it away.

"Gudong!" A group of burly men behind them swallowed their saliva wildly.

This is a piece of legendary meat. Although eating it will not increase your strength, it will definitely satisfy your appetite.

Vadana looked at the meat thrown into her arms and licked her lips.

It smells really good.

Just when he was about to open his mouth and bite, he found that as Li Qi waved his hand, there was a bonfire and an iron fork in front of him.

"Turn it more diligently, don't let the meat get mushy," Li Qi said.

Vadana muttered in her heart: "This is legendary meat, ordinary flames can't hurt it at all."

But she soon noticed something was wrong. The bonfire seemed to have the aura of a red dragon.

There is a red dragon that uses dragon language magic to store a large amount of its breath into the bonfire... Could it be that it is just for Li Qi to barbecue at any time?

She shuddered at the crazy idea.

Li Qi continued to show off his wealth, various rare materials, and magic props.

But instead of being ready to eat like the piece of meat, it was put away after being displayed.

The Night Elf King was also a little short of breath. He saw too many treasures, world-class treasures, but the opponent was like a red-nosed clown throwing a ball, throwing them around casually.

The kind-hearted night elves even had the urge to kill and sell goods for a moment.

“What do we have to offer?”

No matter how doubtful he was, Heselden couldn't restrain his inner impulse when he saw those treasures with his own eyes.

"I think cooperation is the only way to achieve win-win results," Li Qi said. "Why don't I recruit the night elves in the Elf Forest of Rhodes to work for me and distribute gold coins, and they can choose to use gold coins to buy my things."

"Of course!" Heselden smiled and nodded.

Even if he is not good at using tricks, he can still guess what the other party means. Too many human businessmen have used this method in order to kidnap elves for their own use.

They use the beautiful world outside, stories and legends, things to enjoy, etc. to lure the inexperienced night elves.

Among them, the most tempting one is gold coins.

It's just that human merchants never thought that elves live long lives and are very powerful. They often make a lot of gold coins and leave directly after buying things. The vast majority of elves will give up buying because the price is too high, because elves are free beings, and their long lifespans allow them to give up thinking about the too distant future, and they are all of the immediate enjoyment type.

Entering the interior of the Rhodes Elf Forest through business is just a pipe dream.

Heselden asked: "At what price will your world-class treasures be sold?"

"I accept barter," Li Qi said, "I'm willing to exchange anything of value you can offer."

World-class treasures that can improve personal strength, etc., are not too important in Li Qi's eyes.

Unless the upper limit of the highest combat unit is raised, standard props will always be higher than single props.

With his character that doesn't like to suffer losses, Heselden might have really seen something he really wanted just now, and Li Qi was already prepared to raise the price.

"The meat is roasted," Li Qi said: "Your Excellency Heselden, would you like to eat some together? Dragon's Breath BBQ, the flavor is outstanding."

Vadana drooled while watching Li Qi and the Elf King eat meat and drink.

It's really pitiful to be a dragon like myself.

On the third day after the deal was agreed upon between the Blackwater Swamp and the Rod Elf Forest, the deal officially began.

The night elves have long been looking forward to the merchant's arrival.

The transaction lasted for half a month, involving hundreds of thousands of elves, but the transaction amount was not very high, and in the end it was only 2 gold coins.

Vadana bit into the pork angrily, as if every bite was on Li Qi's body.

Although the pork was grilled on an iron plate and topped with a special sauce, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, but the taste was definitely not comparable to the meat Li Qi was eating now, which was said to be the eagle horn meat from the Elf Forest of Rhodes.

She really wanted to take a bite.

"That's all?" Blackwater Swamp also used a lot of manpower. After a large number of ghoul units were repaired and put into use by the corrupt maid, the number of ghouls hatched has reached nearly [-].

2 gold coins, not even the original amount was recovered.

The corrupt maid replied: "Night elves have strong sense and will not buy things that are beyond their affordability, nor will they buy things that they find boring. Moreover, many of our things are too rough and the industrial technology is not in place to be able to Make something that satisfies them, and if you can bring a production line over here..."

"This is why I want to cooperate with the night elves. They have a long lifespan, flexible skills, and strong learning ability. They are simply the most perfect workers." Li Qi still maintained his previous attitude and would never use anyone other than himself. of other forces involved in this world.

Too many forces from other material planes invading and coming in and out frequently will definitely attract the attention of something local.

With contact, it is not difficult to find that there are indeed gods in this world, and they are not as simple as Lurea and Yin.

The green dragon Vadana on the side almost slapped her thighs and cheered, finally seeing this bastard master defeated.

But he can't laugh, otherwise he will definitely not be able to eat delicious pork. Maybe he will let himself eat swamp mud in a rage, or let himself warm the bed or something.

Unlike when he was trapped by the Poisonous Toad, his body is not under his control now.

Li Qi didn't know what the dragon lady, who was inexplicably insisting on imitating a pet and squatting on the ground to eat meat, was thinking in her mind at the moment. He just thought that the other party was still servile.

She has obviously given her good enough treatment and all kinds of delicious food, but she really acts like a pet.

"Then let's change our strategy." Li Qi thought: "Many of our things are not localized. Let's study local historical figures and heroic deeds, and then recruit some people to lead consumption. We must let the night elves understand that things It’s not just that it’s enough, but when others have it, they will feel envious.”

The elves have a peaceful mind, but since they need gold coins, they will naturally have the urge to spend.

Building a brand and creating differentiation will never be outdated, but the celebrity effect is more important at present.

As for improving the life of the night elves, etc., that is all the job of the Elf King. Li Qi has no intention of being a nanny. He comes to this plane to suck blood.

How much can you smoke?

Soon, with the tireless work of the ghouls, the first batch of products made for the night elves appeared, related products based on the heroes who led the night elves to break out of the underground thousands of years ago.

This time, the output was high, and the money earned was less, even less than 3000 gold coins, but a group of ghouls performed with thirsty mouths for a month.

There are even some permanent ones.

The Night Elf King Heselden finally felt relieved. Elves are naturally such that they will never be overly obsessed with something.

For the fourth time, some night elves began to be admitted to perform in various areas of the Rod Elf Forest.

Everyone wants to play the hero.

Some people started chanting the names of those actors, and not only that, banners began to be hung in many places.

It seemed like something was starting to change.

More and more operas are being performed.

It wasn't until Li Qi suffered losses for eight consecutive months that he saw earnings growth for the first time.

Fortunately, the dark creatures in Blackwater Swamp have no concept of money, and the ghouls only know how to work, so Li Qi was able to maintain negative profits for 8 months and still keep running.

"Since your people don't know how to be tired and have no living needs, why don't you just let them work all the time and insist on subduing the night elves?" Vadana gnawed on the meat all day long and asked Li Qi curiously.

Now it is no longer a question of whether Li Qi will have evil intentions towards her, but that she now has a strong urge to breed offspring with Li Qi.

Several times I crawled over and was kicked out of bed.

"Ghouls don't know how hard it is. Working for a long time will wear out their muscles," Li Qi said. "To repair their bodies, either let the corrupt maid consume their strength, or use gold. The cost is too high, but the night elves are different. If they are tired, they will spend money, and if they are injured, they will spend money for treatment, without me paying."

"You..." Vadana shuddered: "You are simply scarier than a vampire zombie."

Vampire zombies only suck blood, but they break people's bones to suck it.

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Qi looked at the latest statistical report and quickly raised the upward arrow, which made people's blood boil.

Because of the successful launch of several star-level elves, their related products were sold in large quantities.

But that doesn’t mean you’ve earned it.

Because what the night elves buy are gadgets, the cost is very low, and they are all the hard-earned money of the ghoul. If you include the body repair of the ghoul, the production of antiseptic potions, etc., you will not lose money at most.

As for the higher-priced peripherals, they still haven't been sold.

Li Qi, who has achieved many successes in two material planes by using the trap of consumerism, tasted failure for the first time.

Night elves are really the natural enemies of capitalists.

However, an unexpected turn of events came quickly.
