Nihil, who had officially moved from behind the scenes to being in front of the stage, put on a mask and appeared hand in hand with Lu Yu. He gave the trialists who had stayed in the Doll Capital for three days some relevant matters, the most important of which was The item is "It is forbidden to describe the scene in the Doll City".
As a holy place where trialists will definitely come, keeping this place mysterious can keep everyone full of longing and expectations, and try their best for the only opportunity. Only in this way can the Flowing Light Trial give Nihil a "satisfaction" .
The previous trialists have been very strict with their speech, and this time is no exception. They all hold the Liuguang trial certificates and swear to keep their mouths secret.
When he was about to leave, Nihil took advantage of others not paying attention and gently touched Lu Yu's tentacles hidden under his new clothes.
Lu Yu quietly responded: "We will meet again, you have to make the game better."
"must."
As the barrier blocking the Doll City was briefly closed, the candidates who were promoted this time looked at the plain in front of them, feeling as if they had not yet awakened from a dream.
In terms of time, they should have stayed in the Puppet Capital the longest among all previous promotions, a full three days. However, in fact, they only saw the Supreme Puppet Masters on the first day, and spent the remaining two days Follow the puppet guide around.
Many people were secretly looking at Lu Yu, trying to get some information from him, but Lu Yu's performance disappointed them.
After leaving the barrier, he had no intention of waiting for the reception of the secret society members, and immediately left the plain with the other four people, leaving them with only the back of Mo Hu.
"He must have obtained the secret of the Supreme Puppet Master, right?"
Many people secretly thought in their hearts, but with the oath in front of them and the certificate clutched tightly, they knew that all this could only rot in their stomachs, and some dark thoughts disappeared as their rationality returned.
They have already achieved success in one step, so why take another risky move?
Returning to Gegelan overnight, the local secret society members immediately informed the details of the poisoning through the credentials given by Nihil.
Sudden evil thoughts and unprovoked madness were the reasons summarized by the members of the secret society.
Lu Yu's performance in the Gelan Field caused a large number of sponsored reformers to be eliminated. Most of these people were behind families with strong financial resources or an emerging class known as "capital", and they had paid a lot of technical assistance for this. The puppeteers also became a laughing stock.
In every trial, the Selkalo underground casino always offers various odds, and Lu Yu’s behavior directly caused the group of people to lose their money from overt to covert situations. What a coincidence, that night The menu happened to be completely random, which gave them room to operate, so... they took desperate risks just to vent their anger.
Lu Yu heard about the existence of "capital" more than once. Regarding this group of people, Lu Yu himself summarized it as the new class of Selkaro who have used the popularity of puppets to promote monopoly and have mastered a large amount of resources. They are more powerful than those in the past. The aristocratic class is more profit-seeking and is also the main driver of the entire Selkalo's external expansion war. "Opening the market with force" comes from their mouths.
If it is this group of people who block their way to make money and therefore take the risk of trampling on the supreme iron law, it is indeed not difficult to understand. After all, capital is a ruthless person who is willing to sell his own noose.
Lu Yu did not have any objections to the trial approved by the secret meeting in red. Being watched by Nihil, the "supreme", even if he had connections in the secret meeting, it would not help. Moreover, Nihil attached so much importance to the rules that everything would be handled naturally by the supreme iron law. is the best result.
After asking for the magic potion to cure Chong Wu and Gale's eyes from the secret society red clothes, Lu Yu had the opportunity to meet one of the poisoning planners who was executed today.
He stood not far from the gallows with great interest, admiring the whole process of the capital promoter who was still crying and begging for mercy before his death, from crying to kicking his legs to die.
"It's a pity that Cercalo doesn't have a good tradition of hanging street lights."
Just as Lu Yu was about to leave the trial court, a puppet suddenly stopped in front of him.
"How do you feel about hanging on the tower of the Tribunal?"
Listening to Nihil's voice, Lu Yu sighed: "I really envy your huge sensory network. Of course, as long as it doesn't violate the rules you set."
In front of Lu Yu, the secret meeting in red clothes received instructions from the supreme, and the corpse of this capital promoter swayed in the wind on the tower of the trial.
When Nihil and Lu Yu had a chat, they discussed the topic of emerging capital. Although he was a puppet, he said something that was extremely simple and difficult to refute.
"At least there are no slaves in Selkalo, which has liberated countless productive forces. Their presence has brought about changes in this country."
How to make use of these new forces, Nihil, who has been silently observing the changes in this country, may have already had the answer.
Lu Yu did not say that "capital will alienate people into slaves sooner or later." After staying in this world for such a long time, he was quite aware of how twisted and backward the systems of common countries and city-states were. Even if he just learned a little bit about capital, it would be a waste. So progressive.
Even though the arrival of the Age of Mythology may bring about earth-shaking changes to the land system, before that time comes, change is at least better than a pool of stagnant water.
After a little adjustment, Lulu's potion ratio was completed. She told the two people with eye injuries: "Take it on time, and you will be able to regain your original vision in less than twenty days."
At the end, she added: "The formula is also given to you. It is very effective against some common toxins that damage the eyes. If you have no money in the future, just use it to make money."
Little Mouse had a sore nose and tears came at every turn.
"You're leaving, aren't you?"
Lu Yu finally had the opportunity to pinch the mouse's ears. His hands had been itchy for a long time. After a little fun, he became serious again.
"There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. I am very happy about this journey. Don't be ashamed to get these honors for taking advantage of me. Good luck is a part of strength. Think about it from another angle... Why can't other people compete with me?" How about meeting?"
"Herola had several former companions, but she missed the opportunity that was so close to her."
Knowing that they might never meet again in the future, the three of them hugged Lu Yu vigorously, and Papa secretly expressed that he would carve a statue of Lu Yu in the future as a prayer.
"I think you can bring me more luck." Lucky boy Papa said seriously.
Lu Yu, who didn't mind receiving an extra piece of faith, just smiled and didn't refuse.
Lu Yu, who parted ways with the trio and left Gelan, finally knew Herola's secret that she repeatedly emphasized was "not something worth looking forward to."
Herola, who led Lu Yu through the mountains of Gelan and came to the area near the junction with the vast flaming sand, blushed and hesitated: "Teacher, please don't laugh at me later."
"Okay, okay, I promise."
With her excellent positioning ability, Herola turned left and right and led Lu Yu to find a towering tree in a dense forest that was pitch black in broad daylight.
Looking around, there was no one around. Herola swept away the rotten trees and dead branches that were used as hidden decorations on the ground, and a gray stone slab that was incompatible with the surrounding ground came into view.
Herola introduced: "No magic is used, it is purely handmade, which is quite counter-intuitive. After all, who would have thought that someone would go to such a ghost place to dig out the ground, right?"
The three of them applauded. Magicians do rely heavily on magic feedback. Whenever they go to a strange area, they will subconsciously sweep around with magic. The more powerful the magician, the more cautious it is. It is really easy for Herola to avoid such an arrangement. Beyond the perception of a powerful magician.
Going down the stairs, he didn't know how deep he went underground. The surrounding rock walls suddenly opened up, and the originally dull air also had a fresh smell. Lu Yu could faintly hear the sound of gurgling water. Apparently there was an underground river flowing through this place. at.
Lu Yu felt like a Wuling fisherman who accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Land. At the end of the narrow rock wall was an extremely empty underground space. There were obvious traces of being dug out. The fluorescent plants all around were deliberately triggered by Herola. Releasing colorful shimmers, the dim cave was colorful for a while. As the wind blew gently from nowhere, the swaying fluorescent dance fluttered, adding a bit of psychedelic color.
Stone tables, stone benches, wooden beds, collections of books, piles of coins and jewelry, and trophies from various monsters make up the entire private underground space.
The two sand kittens rushed towards Herola when they saw their master returning. They were not afraid of strangers at all and even obeyed Herola's orders to rub against Lu Yu's tentacles.
A doll that kept the cave clean and continued to open up underground space for Herola appeared in response and knelt down to salute her.
The three of them were a little confused. Herola, who had been coy before, suddenly felt a sense of pride. She introduced excitedly: "This is the whole point of saving money. I want to build a place." The little nest that belongs to me, away from the disputes between the reformers and the natives, allows me to live my own life quietly."
Renovation is quite expensive, not only to ensure concealment, but also to arrange various measures to prevent natural disasters. Herola's private den is like a gold-eating beast. There is simply no way to support such a huge expense.
"Teacher, I am actually very afraid of dealing with people. Every time I do this, I will be very tired... I want to escape, but life, I can't escape."
"So I forced myself to do the only job I was good at, and kept working hard... It was boring, but I had to persevere. Just when I was still thinking that it would take twenty years to complete all the excavated areas. When the protection was over, you appeared."
Herola's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and finally she lowered her head and said with shame, "I'm sorry that the apprentice you worked so hard to teach has such a lazy and ineffective side..."
Lu Yu put his hand on Herola's head and rubbed it gently: "What are you talking about? Isn't this a normal wish?"
"I have had dreams like yours too."
