Zhu Jianyuan walked up to the steel-armored crow. At this time, the corner of the tough man's eyes twitched slightly.
"Xiao Liu... is the secretary of the City Lord's Mansion. Because he has the level of an A-level awakener, he was also assigned to fight against S-level dead beasts."
"Sacrificed... to save his teammates."
"What people didn't expect was that his blue crow evolved into a steel-armored crow after his death."
He touched the steel-armored crow that was still working tirelessly to wake up its master, and said sadly: "The elves are very smart, especially the blue crow, who is far smarter than I imagined."
"He should know that his master is dead, but... he doesn't want to face it."
"It's a pity...Xiao Liu didn't see the scene of Haicheng people planting fruit trees all over the wild..."
Zhu Jianyuan did not elaborate on how Xiao Liu died, but Su Bai could imagine it.
If I had come a little later, that honest-looking shield warrior would probably have died at the claws of an S-class beast.
As for why the secretary of the city lord's palace is on the front line... Even the city lord Zhu Jianyuan is working hard, so the secretary can't stay away from it.
With great ability comes great responsibility.
Haicheng people are not cowards!
Su Bai looked at the steel-armored crow and sighed silently.
Elves like Steel Armored Crow are covered in black armor from top to bottom, and even their feathers are as hard as steel. After evolving, they are over two meters tall, even taller than humans.
Even with its wings folded, it looked like a huge creature, filled with a deep and fierce aura.
However, at this time, this big guy, who looked like it could make a child cry, kept sobbing at the corpse on the ground.
His deep red pupils were full of anxiety and sadness, and he gently cupped his master's body, not caring that he was still covered in bruises.
With an IQ that is not inferior to that of humans, it knows that its master is dead.
However, it is unwilling to accept this result.
The secretary of the City Lord's Mansion is named Liu Jiantao, and he can be regarded as an acquaintance of Su Bai.
Zhu Jianyuan is very busy, and many aspects of things are actually handled by Liu Jiantao. For example, the fruit seed distribution plan is handled by him.
This is a very smart and capable person.
Elves like the Steel-Armored Crow have very rich emotions, and are even very close to humans in terms of intelligence.
Being able to evolve directly for Liu Jiantao even though the training level is not up to standard shows that Liu Jiantao has a very good relationship with it.
In fact, the Steel-Armored Crow was not the only elf who stayed with his master's body and refused to leave.
Three swimming ring weasels, five formation soldiers, four blue jays and two snorkeling weasels were also wandering hesitantly next to their master's body.
Because of the special nature of the elves, as long as the owner does not want the elf to fight to the death, he can take the elf back at the last moment.
This means that as long as the elf is not killed instantly, the elf will not really die.
Coupled with the subsidies of wound medicine and various status medicines, it is very difficult for elves to die.
But humans are different. Injury medicine and the like are ineffective against humans.
The healing potions in the human world are far less magical than the healing potions.
So in this battle, only humans are sacrificed.
After Su Bai was silent for a while, he asked: "What are you going to do with these elves?"
The elves are purchased by the city lord's palace. As long as there is no abuse of the elves or anything, the right to dispose of them naturally lies with the city lord's palace.
Zhu Jianyuan looked at these sad-looking elves and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Originally...to be honest, for the sake of the integrity of the Elf Legion, these elves should serve the next person selected into the legion."
"But seeing the appearance of these elves...I suddenly didn't want to do it."
"It would be cruel to do that."
"After these days, especially when the blue crow evolved into the steel-armored crow, I understood a truth."
"Elves are not weapons, elves are our companions!"
"Even if we want to replenish the Elf Legion, we will not force them to serve without the consent of these elves."
Zhu Jianyuan thought for a while and said to Su Bai: "I remember... your elf center has a storage center?"
"Without master training, if these elves stay in the city lord's mansion, they may watch other elves training with their masters... which is not good."
"Can the City Lord's Mansion make another agreement with the Elf Center?"
"We put the elves of the fallen soldiers in the storage center. If there is a new warrior to replace the sacrificed soldier, then we will let him go to the storage center to give it a try."
"If this person can get along well with the elves among them, then bring the elves back to the city lord's mansion."
Zhu Jianyuan said categorically: "These elves... are also the heroes of our Haicheng. I will not let them suffer any injustice!"
"It's just that... there is a problem that is difficult to solve."
Zhu Jianyuan looked at Su Bai and pleaded: "The storage center uses cultivation points, but in this case... it will be a little difficult to cultivate the points..."
Su Bai sighed and nodded. Of course he knew what Zhu Jianyuan meant.
Zhu Jianyuan's attitude towards the elves made him very happy.
Generally speaking, especially in this kind of apocalyptic world, elves would probably be used as a weapon by superiors, right?
Maybe people over there in Kyoto think the same way.
But Zhu Jianyuan didn't, and instead regarded the elf as a companion.
What seems to be a matter of course is actually not that rational for the city lord of a city.
Of course, Su Bai liked this kind of irrationality very much...
Just when Su Bai was about to communicate with the system to solve the problem, the system's voice rang.
[For the victim’s elves, the storage center will charge a symbolic fee of one federal coin and store them permanently. 】
[Please note that the above terms are limited to victims. 】
After two short sentences, the system became silent.
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, the system was still powerful.
He nodded and said: "Don't worry, City Lord Zhu."
"Your solution is very good..."
"Anything sent to the Elf Storage Center only costs one federal currency, and it can be stored permanently. You can rest assured."
Zhu Jianyuan let out a sigh of relief. Just now he was still thinking about what if Su Bai couldn't use federal currency instead.
It is up to the entire Elf Legion to provide the training points.
Although this would inevitably delay the growth of the Elf Legion, Su Bai had many secrets. He knew that Su Bai also had many unspeakable secrets, and he never thought of forcing Su Bai.
On the contrary, Su Bai's answer was an unexpected surprise for him!
Zhu Jianyuan smiled and patted Su Bai's shoulder gently: "Since you are here, your mission over there has been completed, right?"
Su Bai nodded and said, "Yes, the trainers have all grown up..."
Zhu Jianyuan and Li Zhi looked at each other and suddenly laughed: "In other words... we succeeded?"
"Have we secured enough places for the arrival of the elves?"
"The elves who can change the world will appear around Haicheng soon, right?"
At this time, Zhu Jianyuan was as excited as a child.
Seeing this, Su Bai couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yes... the elf who can change the world... is about to appear."
His eyes were fixed on the deathly energy surrounding the horizon.
The arrival of the elves... has entered a real countdown!
