Chapter 164 New rewards unlocked
Seeing that Donner hadn't said much, he got to the point, Su Wen's face gradually became solemn.
"I want to hide it, but you have already said so clearly before. What's the difference between hiding it and deceiving yourself? Since I attracted your attention half a year ago, it's not difficult to dig up my property."
Donald lay on an old chair, his eyes narrowed, his fingers clasped on his lap, and his face was smiling.
"Good enlightenment, I think about it. Should I take you to slice and study next? After all, there may be a lot of knowledge in your head. You can cross the space to get items that do not belong to this world. If you can squeeze your value completely, the reward I will get is unimaginable. At that time, whether it is humans or other messy races, they will surrender to me..."
"Then I'm relieved, you don't have this idea."
Donald's words were interrupted and he was not angry.
“What if I was serious?”
Su Wen leaned on the table with his hands and leaned forward slightly: "Then you will get nothing, let alone, it is not my will to be able to notice me. In other words, it is not just me who is sitting here and facing you now."
Donald nodded: "Because of this, you can still sit here and have a good conversation with me."
"It seems we have reached a consensus."
At this time, Su Wen's eyes at Donald had completely changed. Since the two had already shown up, the previous identity similar to a friend had been abandoned and replaced by some subtle checks and balances. There is nothing unreasonable in this world, only reasons that have not been discovered. In Tridys, the reason why Donald continued to pay attention to Su Wen was obviously not what he said before, and the reason why he expressed his kindness to Su Wen was because the thing behind Su Wen that he couldn't control - this thing that Su Wen called the cheating system, at this time, had become his trump card to check and balance Donald. This is also why Su Wen had previously said that the system was not afraid.
Perhaps, when Su Wen was still in the novice village, the system attracted Donald's attention by controlling his behavior because he expected his cold attitude towards him in the future and thus set up a plan. But now, facing this monster with unfathomable strength in front of him, Su Wen has no more way out, so he can only choose to reposition his cheating system.
Su Wen lamented in secret why other people's time travelers' systems are all fancy gifts, for fear that their master's path to show off will be blocked, but when he comes to him, he is scheming. If he hadn't woken up when he was about to graduate from a magic apprentice, he might have been played with applause until now, but even so, many things that have happened cannot be changed.
Until this time, the system did not interrupt, but Su Wen knew that it must be quietly watching the current situation.
“Yes, consensus.”
Donald seemed to appreciate the word. He took a bottle of iced red wine that seemed valuable from there. He slowly unscrewed the bottle cap with a bottle opener, poured them into two goblets, and sprinkled two handfuls of ice. The whole process was as smooth as a trick to become elegant, but Su Wen was unwilling to appreciate it. He took the cup of his own without hesitation and drank it as usual.
"So, help me solve Liticia's problem."
Donald glanced at the sleeper on the sofa not far away, and then looked at the body and crater of the half-elf old woman on the ground: "I can't tell, you attach great importance to her."
"What a joke, when did I not take her seriously?"
"Haha, if your previous actions are what you said to pay attention to, I can only say that she is really unlucky." Donald smiled for a while before stopping, "But unfortunately, I can't help you a lot. Maybe all I can do is to remove the hypnotic spell cast by the old woman on the ground. As for other things, I can only say that perhaps the only thing that can help her is the Goddess of Light's spell "Rebirth Technique"?"
"cannot?"
Su Wen frowned. He had expected Donald to ask for a price everywhere, but he did not expect that he would say to death in one sentence.
"No, I never promised something I absolutely couldn't do."
"I remember you are a soul creature and you should be good at this."
"I say so because you don't understand what a soul creature is, nor do you understand the principle of the 'blood recovery plan' created by those elves. The former is my personal secret. I will refuse to disclose the latter, but I can explain it to you."
Donald continued to drink, which was obviously different from Su Wen. He did not seem to change his attitude towards Su Wen, but instead told the story as usual as usual.
"Before talking about this plan, we must first talk about the slave trade industry. You know, on today's glorious continent, half-orcs have always been synonymous with slave labor, and half-elves are synonymous with maids, slaves and prostitutes. They occupy a huge proportion of all enslaved alien races, but do you know how they were born, and what kind of industrial chain is behind this?"
Su Wen quickly replied: "In the slave market, although a large part of it is slave exchange transactions between buyers, there are also many unsold slaves from major slave chambers. Of course, they are breeded and bred. This is not difficult to guess."
"Yes, humans enslave alien creatures, just like they are domesticated and enslaved other wild animals, the difference is that the enslaved objects are intelligent creatures, so many things that were taken for granted will become simply unacceptable to the world. This is also the reason why almost all the domesticated places of the slave chambers are as vigilant as castles and avoid being built in population areas. Some things are something they absolutely do not want to see, and they will never mention. There are many dark corners in this world, and nightmares happening every day, and what we are talking about now is one of them."
Su Wen nodded without saying a word, but from the corner of his eyes he glanced slightly at Liticia who was quietly asleep.
"This is a deformed industry. I won't say much about specific things. You can brainstorm domestic livestock farms and other things by yourself, but it has indeed promoted the development of various countries to a certain extent, and its role cannot be ignored. So since it was born, it is still alive. The elves and remnants of the forest are weak, and they try every means to increase their strength. One of them is to use the huge slave industry. Although this practice is simply a meaningless struggle - since humans defeated them hundreds of years ago, it is impossible for them to turn over."
"Their idea is actually very good. You must know that because of the existence of magic, whether a force is powerful or not, it is ultimately necessary to refer to those strong and reliable high-end forces. Plants and trees may be able to turn a country into a fighting nation, but if you want to gain more high-end power, this is far from enough, because there is something called talent. If the population base is not enough, it is impossible to give birth to so many talented individuals. If they want to get more high-quality combat power, they can only secretly recruit soldiers from other places. Otherwise, how did humans fight one against two in the late stage of the racial war back then? The probability of talented elf tribes is high but the fertility rate is low, and there are many awesome people, but they are still inevitably beaten. The beast tribe has a high fertility rate, and some can be one litter at a time, but the talent rate is low. In many cases, they can only do the tactics of the sea of people and cannot withstand the bombardment of magic cannons and forbidden curses. It's that simple."
Donald paused and pointed at Leticia.
"Your little maid is the chosen one of this plan. The elves reached an agreement with certain epic races to intervene in the breeding link of the human slave industry and pass the seeds of talent together with some magic to the next generation of half-elves slaves. This magic principle is not complicated, but because it has entered the bodies of those descendants from the beginning, it has been regarded as an integral part of their souls. As long as they awaken, it cannot be driven away until they die... Well, the epic race I am talking about here is specifically referring to those flying lizards. Even if the elves don't ask them to do this, the guy who inserts the hole and uses deformation magic to transform into humans has long regarded the breeding site of the half-elves as their back garden. Not many people know this secret. No one is willing to provoke epic creatures. If you talk nonsense in the future, you will be responsible."
Su Wen pursed her lips tightly, not caring about Donald's untouched words behind her.
"So, what is this magic?"
He asked in a deep voice.
"It's just some information that penetrates the soul. As the bloodline awakens, I call this kind of thing a bundled plug-in. It won't have substantial control ability, otherwise it won't require those elves to lurk in major cities in the human kingdom. But it's very annoying. Your little maid can wake up quickly as long as you remove the hypnosis, but you will have to be brainwashed by elves every day in the future."
It was not until this time that Su Wen nodded slowly.
"I see."
"So, I'm an intelligence businessman. Are you going to use anything to pay for this intelligence?"
"80 gold coins? Don't think I really don't understand the market."
"...Give it, oh no, it's 90 gold coins, and 10 gold coins are the medical treatment of hypnosis. You miser."
——Separation line—
Donald left.
He did not mention Su Wen's identity and new equipment again, but took Elainda on the bed. According to him, he would give this little girl who was completely destroyed a way out so that she would not starve to death in bed. Su Wen had no time to consider what he said was a bit reliable. Liticia's affairs had annoyed him enough, and he didn't want to be a saint, so it was impossible for him to take care of everything.
As for the mess here, although Donald didn't make it clear, Su Wen knew that he obviously had no need to worry about leaving behind any beginning and end. He could leave at will, so naturally someone would deal with it.
Since Liticia had not woken up yet, Suwen had no intention of leaving immediately. However, just a few minutes after Donald disappeared, the system's voice rang out.
"Host, you have received a special reward because you have passed the critical event point."
Su Wen knew that the system would never remain silent, and would always express something about the meeting just now, so no matter what tricks it was, he was not surprised or surprised.
He followed the system's words: "Oh, what reward?"
"A holographic image cassette signed as the 'master behind the scenes'."
