Chapter 631 626. The Private World of the Piggy Bank
Nihil, who officially moved from behind the scenes to the front stage, put on a mask and appeared hand in hand with Lu Yu, instructing the trialists who had stayed in the City of Dolls for three days on some relevant matters, the most important of which was "no description of the scenes in the City of Dolls".
As a holy place where the trialists will definitely come, keeping the mystery here can make everyone always full of longing and expectation, and do their best for the only chance. Only in this way can the Liuguang Trial give Nihil "satisfaction".
The trialists of previous years were very tight-lipped, and this time was no exception. They all held the Liuguang Trial certificate in their hands, and Gao Tielu swore to keep their mouths shut.
When he was about to leave, Nihil took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and gently touched Lu Yu's tentacles hidden under the new clothes.
Lu Yu responded quietly: "We will meet again. You have to do a better job in the game."
"Definitely."
As the barrier that blocked the Puppet City was temporarily closed, the qualifiers looked at the plain in front of them, feeling a trance of a dream.
In terms of time, they should have stayed in the Puppet City for the longest time among all the qualifiers, for three full days, but in fact, they only met the Supreme Puppet Masters on the first day, and followed the puppet guides around for the remaining two days.
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 did not wait for the reception of the secret meeting members, and immediately left the plain with the other four people, leaving them with only a vague back.
"He must have obtained the secret of the Supreme Puppet Master, right?"
Many people thought to themselves, but with the oath in front of them, they knew that all this could only rot in their stomachs, holding the certificate tightly, and some dark thoughts disappeared into thin air as rationality recovered.
They have already completed the leap to heaven, so why take risks again?
Returning to Gelan overnight, through the credentials given by Nishier, the local secret meeting members immediately informed the details of the poisoning case.
Sudden evil thoughts, unreasonable madness, this is the reason for the crime summarized by the secret meeting members.
Lu Yu's performance in the Gelan field led to the elimination of a large number of sponsored reformers. Most of these people were from wealthy families or the emerging class known as "capital", and the puppet masters who provided a lot of technical assistance for this became a laughing stock.
Every time the trial, the underground casino of Selcarlo always opened a variety of odds, and Lu Yu's behavior directly caused this group of people to lose all their money from the open to the dark. Coincidentally, the menu that night was completely random, giving them room to operate, so... they took risks to vent their anger.
Lu Yu had heard of the existence of "capital" more than once. For this group of people, Lu Yu's own summary is that they are a new class of Selcarlo who use the popularity of puppets to promote monopoly and control a large amount of resources. They are more profit-seeking than the aristocratic class in the past, and are also the main promoters of the entire Selcarlo's external expansion war. "Using force to open the market" comes from their mouths.
If it is this group of people, I blocked their way to wealth, so I took the risk of trampling on the Supreme Iron Law, which is indeed not difficult to understand. After all, capital is a ruthless character who is willing to sell his own noose.
Lu Yu did not have any objection to the trial approved by the secret meeting red clothes. Being watched by Nishier, the "Supreme", it would be useless even if he had connections in the secret meeting. Moreover, Nishier attached so much importance to the rules that everything was handled by the Supreme Iron Law. Naturally, it was the best result.
After asking the secret meeting red clothes for the magic potion to treat the heavy fog and Gale's eyes, Lu Yu had the honor of meeting a poisoning planner who was executed today.
He stood not far from the gallows with great interest, admiring the whole process of this capital promoter who was still wailing for mercy before his death, from crying to kicking his legs and dying.
"It's a pity that Selcarlo doesn't have a good tradition of hanging street lamps."
Just as Lu Yu was about to leave the court, a puppet suddenly stopped in front of him.
"How do you feel about hanging on the tower of the court?"
Listening to Nihil's voice, Lu Yu sighed: "I really envy your huge perception network, of course, as long as it doesn't violate the rules you set."
In front of Lu Yu, the secret meeting red received instructions from the Supreme, and the body of this capital promoter swayed on the tower of the court with the wind.
Nihil talked about the topic of emerging capital when he talked with Lu Yu. Although he was a puppet, he said something very simple and difficult to refute.
"At least there are no slaves in Selcarlo, which has liberated countless productive forces. Their existence has changed this country."
How to use these new forces, Nihil, who silently observed the changes in this country, may have had the answer long ago.
Lu Yu did not say "capital will alienate people into slaves sooner or later". Having been in this world for such a long time, he is quite clear about how distorted and backward the systems of common countries and city-states are. Even if he only learns a little bit about capital, it is too advanced.
Even if the arrival of the mythological era may bring about earth-shaking changes in the ground system, before it officially arrives, changes are at least better than stagnant water.
After a little adjustment, Lulu's potion ratio was completed. She told the two people with injured eyes: "Take it on time. In less than 20 days, you can restore your original vision."
At the end, she added: "The formula is also given to you. It is not bad for some common toxins that hurt the eyes. If you have no money in the future, you can 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 feast that lasts forever. I am very happy on this journey. Don't be ashamed that you have taken advantage of me and won these honors. Good luck is part of your strength. Think about it from another angle...why others failed to meet me Woolen cloth?"
"Herola had several former companions, but she missed the opportunity that was so close at hand."
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 the secret of Herola 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 border area with the vast Yansha, 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 really rely on magic feedback. Whenever they go to a strange area, they will subconsciously sweep around with magic. The more powerful the magician is, the more cautious they are. It is really easy to avoid Herola's arrangement. Beyond the perception of a powerful magician.
Going down the stairs, he didn't know how deep he reached the ground. 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 here. 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, mountains of coins and jewelry, and trophies from various monsters make up the entirety of this 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, now felt a sense of pride. She excitedly introduced: "This is the whole meaning 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, leads a quiet life of my own. "
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."
