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, giving instructions to the trialists who had stayed in the Doll Capital for three days on some relevant matters, the most important of which was
One of them is "It is forbidden to describe the scene in the Doll City".
As a holy place where trialists are bound to come, maintaining the mystery here can keep everyone full of longing and expectations, and try their best for the only opportunity. Only in this way can the Flower 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 even swear to keep their mouths shut.
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 temporarily closed, the candidates who were promoted this time looked at the plains 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 learned the secret of the Supreme Puppet Master, right?"
Many people were thinking secretly, but with the oath in front of them and the certificates tightly held, they knew that all this could only rot in their stomachs, and some dark thoughts disappeared as their rationality returned.
They have already reached the sky in one step, so why take another risky move?
Returning to Geglan 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 Geglan Field resulted in the elimination of a large number of sponsored reformers. Most of these people were from families with strong financial resources or an emerging class known as "capital", for which they had paid a lot of technical assistance.
The puppeteers also became a laughing stock.
In every trial, the Selkalo underground casino always offers a variety of 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 Selkalo who have used the popularity of dolls to promote monopoly and have mastered a large amount of resources. They are more powerful than the previous ones.
The aristocratic class is more profit-seeking, and is also the main driving force behind the entire war of expansion in Selkalo. "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, then 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. He was 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 Chongwu and Gale's eyes from the secret society's red clothes, Lu Yu was lucky enough 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 wailing and begging for mercy before his death, from crying to kicking his legs and dying.
"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 was swaying 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 changed this country."
How to make use of these new forces, Nikhil, 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 debugging, 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."
The 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 by taking advantage of me. Good luck is a part of strength. Think about it from another angle... Why can't others be like 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 border area 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 and seeing no one around, Herola swept away the rotten trees and dead branches and leaves 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 clapped their hands. Magicians do rely heavily on magic feedback. Every time they go to a strange area, they will subconsciously sweep around with magic power. The more powerful the magician is, the more cautious they are. 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.
Emitting colorful shimmers, the dim cave became 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.
When the two sand kittens saw their master returning, they rushed towards her and rubbed against Herola's hand. They were not afraid of strangers 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 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 introduced excitedly: "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, 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'm actually very afraid of dealing with people. Every time I do this, I feel very tired... I want to escape, but I can't escape life."
"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 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?"
