The Elven Survival Handbook.

The team led by Ivistal finally returned to the Golden Sand Sea, accompanied by caravans who had been here before.

The people of the caravan had an unprecedented harvest in Proda this time. Even the guards and slaves used the things they bought from the Magic Castle and sold them at good prices in Proda, which directly doubled their original savings several times. , let alone the merchants who are caravans.

So as early as Ivistal showed his intention to return, even if their goods could be sold at a higher price if they were kept for a while, the merchants sold them all in the shortest possible time, taking the camels with them - they bought additional ones. A group of camels wiped out debts - and wallets, and even a little cargo followed the monsters.

Other businessmen who saw the inside story expressed their intention to follow them, but were blocked by these shrewd businessmen. Ivistal had no intention of exposing the location of the magic castle to everyone for the time being, so he acquiesced. their actions.

In the end, in addition to the original team when they left, there were more than 1000 slaves who returned to the Magic Castle.

Ivistal bought these slaves at his own discretion. As long as they were of decent character, he bought them even if they were old, weak, sick or disabled. Generally speaking, these slaves were unsaleable, and the price of ten of them might be Not as good as two healthy slaves who are young and strong enough to work, let alone a beautiful female slave who has been trained.

In addition, Ivistal was very good at bargaining. He bought a thousand slaves, and the price he spent was not even enough to buy five camels.

Half of these slaves are old people and children. The slaves who can be considered as adult laborers are either sick or not good-looking and cannot be sold at a good price.

What's more, when he saw how much he bought, the slave merchant gave him several children under the age of five for free as extras, and the succubus accepted them all - God knows there are still some in there. A baby that drinks milk needs to be raised for at least ten years if it wants to work. Who would want to buy it if it wasn't given for free?

However, few slaves can really live to death of old age. This group of old people say they are old, but in fact the oldest ones are only fifty. It is just that years of hard work makes them age faster than ordinary people.

I thought that as long as I took a good rest, I would still be able to work, at least helping their queen farm the land would be no problem.

As for getting sick, just get sick. It's not a terminal illness anyway. It can be cured by taking some low-level magic potions back home. At least some of them can still read, which is rare.

And don’t be afraid if you are young. If you take good care of yourself for a few years, you will be able to work in the future.

The last thing a monster lacks is time.

Moreover, the succubus thought that taking them back might stimulate the monsters in the magic castle and make them consciously find a partner to have children. Didn't you see that their magic castle doesn't even have a little monster yet?The next generation is very important!

In addition to slaves, Ivistal also bought a lot of livestock and a lot of other things.

Of course, these were all bought separately. Except for the [-] camels he bought himself and the [-] camels returned to him by the caravan to make up [-] camels, other livestock and items were purchased privately. Li sent his subordinates to buy them back, because he planned to send the puppet raven directly to send them back first.

Ivistal was not prepared to let humans discover this. He had already noticed that the humans here did not show any signs of using space props, and there was no mention of these in their long-broken magic heritage.

Because of this, on his way back, the merchants saw that he only bought a bunch of camels but didn't bring much goods, and they persuaded him to buy some and take them back.

Ivistal smiled and refused. If he hadn't needed these camels to bring back the slow and weak slaves to avoid dying on the way, he would have sent away half of the camels in advance.

The merchants thought that he bought so many camels for his subordinates and bodyguards to mount, which was indeed the case, but except for [-] of them, the others were all given to slaves to ride on.

Privately, they all felt that Ivistal was really for nobles with high moral character (and a little too soft-hearted). Others were picky and picky when buying slaves, even if they had minor flaws. It was better for him to just buy a batch of slaves with good qualities. sickness.

The slaves bought by others were tied up with ropes and walked with their masters on foot without even wearing a pair of shoes. He not only prepared sun-proof clothes, scarves and shoes for them, but even let them ride camels.

Even the slaves who originally feared that most of them would be killed or injured by following them across the desert also showed a hint of gratitude to their new masters and felt that they had a good master.

As for the succubus who is praised for her noble character and being too soft-hearted?He just wanted to laugh at these humble humans. Who has ever seen a soft-hearted monster?He just didn't want the slaves he just bought to die before they were put to use.

Low-level magic potions are mixed into the water that slaves drink every day. The taste is a bit weird, but they can only use turbid muddy water to quench their thirst. Most of them can only use turbid muddy water to quench their thirst.

At that time, they couldn't even take a few sips a day, but now the new owner is willing to give them water to drink. The water is still very clean at first glance. Even if it doesn't taste that good, no one is willing to drink it.

Ventilated and sun-proof robes and headscarves, plenty of water, and three meals were provided. Although they were very dry and hard, they could fill their stomachs with pancakes. Along the way, the slaves not only suffered casualties, but even those who were sick died. alright.

At the same time, their energy and energy have also improved a lot. When the team stopped to rest at night, the children who were originally huddled among the adults were now able to get together and play happily in the camp.

Ivistal was extremely satisfied with this. As long as the child was not a bear, the more energetic the child would be, the more the guys in the magic castle would want a little monster of their own.

After that, even though they knew that the place they were going to was the Golden Sand Sea, a forbidden land that was feared by everyone, the slaves only panicked a little at first and then regained their composure. Although there was still fear in their eyes, they remained obedient. Follow the procession.

Although the environment in the Golden Sand Sea was terrible, the team was well prepared and their journey this time was much smoother than when the caravan came here.

When they were still half a day away from their destination, Ivistal and the monsters couldn't wait to go back to see their Majesty and report their harvest, so the team did not wait until dawn before setting off, but only rested for half the night. He broke out of camp and headed towards the center of the golden sand sea under the starlight and night wind.

When they walked to a distance where they could see the Magic Castle, with the warm sun slowly rising from the sky at dawn, they saw the rain falling from the rolling clouds.

Even the caravans who had already been here were moved by the thunderstorm that should not have appeared in the desert. When they came last time, because the monsters deliberately concealed it, these people did not see the darkness that must occur here every day. rain.

Now they suddenly see a thunderstorm in the golden sand sea. This is the first rain they have seen so far this year. Who can not be moved?

For the residents living on the continent of Veve, nothing brings them more joy than a rain that brings water and hope.

The camels also smelled the water.

In the desert, unless there is a water source, otherwise there is no water to drink. The camel, which can only rely on its own water reserves to survive the harsh desert, was attracted by this smell. The original stroll turned into a trot, and accelerated all the way towards the front.

But as they walked down the dunes, the sun was enough to illuminate the land.

Passing through the Haloxylon ammodendron forest that they had not seen before last time, in front of them was a beautiful sea of ​​purple flowers.

Even though these flowers have been beaten to pieces by the heavy rain, in the eyes of humans who have never seen such a large sea of ​​flowers, it is still incomparably beautiful.

The animals had left before they appeared, and Huahua also took away the cub that she had disobediently wanted to keep and continue playing with the elves. She hid on the branches of the poplar tree and observed the situation here.

Among the flowers, two black figures holding umbrellas as if strolling in the garden became particularly conspicuous.

As soon as he saw them, Ivistal jumped off the camel and quickly walked forward to salute, regardless of the rain that seemed to never stop.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness."

Following him were the monsters traveling together, and then came the caravan members who knew the identities of the two and hurried over to salute together, and the slaves who knelt there without even daring to raise their heads.

In an instant, the only ones standing in the flower field were the elves and the devils who were wearing black robes with their faces hidden in their hoods.

Looking at the flower field trampled by monsters and humans, the elf pursed his lips, raised his elbow and poked the devil next to him.

The Demon King didn't feel angry after being stabbed. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth, and even looked at the succubus who was kneeling in front of him and was made miserable by the rain, with a touch of softness.

A deep voice mixed with a hint of joy rang out amid the gradually decreasing sound of rain.

"Welcome back, Yvestal, get up."

When the succubus heard this, the smile on his face was no longer the kind one he usually pretended to be. Instead, it was a little evil, but it was his truest joy.

"Yes, I'm back, Your Majesty."

The author has something to say: Well, I still haven’t written about going out, I will definitely leave tomorrow! ! !

Try a small theater again:

Elf (poke): Get them away quickly, my flower field will be trampled.

Demon King (got stabbed in the waist, thinking this was the elf's closeness to him): Okay dear, right away dear.

Succubus (with a sad face): So the joy in His Majesty’s tone is not because he saw me coming back QAQ
