Forty-six. The gift of death

The Lord of Dreams has not yet sunk into an eternal dream.

He knew about Lu Li's arrival and the purpose of their trip.

"Nothing to do."

The eternal dreamer who bathed in the glow of the stars in front of the window still answered like this.

"There's nothing you can do..." the twisted figure whispered.

"Because this is the only way it won't be a bad ending..." the vicissitudes of the eternal dreamer said: "I have seen that each star is a world... I have seen that the rivers formed by the stars are as fragile as gravel under the storm... I have seen that

Crossing the vast world is part of the game called... I've seen us

The terrifying power of science that takes just one step to multiply to the end... I have seen a fall make a world wither... Survival and destruction depend on every decision we make. Maybe you take the left foot first when you go out, maybe it's too late.

Sometimes when you fall asleep, it may be the gentle flapping of the wings of a butterfly..."

And he who glimpses the long river of time is the existence that balances everything.

Lu Li's eyes moved slightly when he was talking about science: "Do you still remember those technological drawings?"

"I don't know...even if I knew, I wouldn't say anything."

The voice of the eternal dreamer gradually sounded like a dream, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Destiny has already marked a price for everything, and we cannot afford to own them..."



They left the Church of the Vine.

"That's what prophets always do."

The Ever Dreamer's words reminded the Swamp Mother of the prophets and astrologers in the former principality: "Ambiguous prophecies, claiming that the future should not change."

"What did he mean by fate and price at the end..." the twisted figure asked.

Swamp Mother lowered her eyes and looked at Lu Li: "Lu Li knows how to explain."

"Children who suddenly gain wealth will buy their favorite toys, young people who suddenly gain wealth will spend it wantonly, and middle-aged people who suddenly gain wealth will buy properties," Lu Li said.

"I still can't understand..."

Lu Li's explanation failed to help the twisted figure understand this passage.

"He compared science to wealth... so those sudden sciences that do not belong to us will make us lose our original intention like wealth and lead us into the inevitable abyss..." Mother of the Swamp replied.

It just goes from one disaster to another.

"Could everything get worse than this?" the twisted figure whispered.

No one can answer Him.

Lu Li returned to the wooden house to rest for the night. Early the next morning, the maid of the Swamp Mother brought him a windbreaker, which had been ironed.

Putting on his windbreaker, Lu Li sat on a wooden chair in the cool morning light and dealt with things at the camp today.

During this period, Valendo came to the island in the middle of the lake with the first draft of the law.

Many laws are quite rough, with more regulations than laws. For example, residents are required to convert to believers when their sanity value is too low, and theft, robbery, fighting, etc. are not allowed to occur. As mentioned before, Agate Lake Camp does not need too many complicated and detailed laws.

Because no one can afford to make mistakes and be driven out of the land of light.

That makes them more desperate than death.

"Mr. Lu Li... I also want to become an exorcist." Valendo said hesitantly, standing at the desk.

"Did you fail the occult test?"

"I didn't have time to participate..."

Valendo modified it a little. He originally hoped to become Lu Li's assistant like he was Mateus's assistant, but the 10 days in the camp made him realize that the camp did not need this, and neither did Lu Li.

Lu Li said: "Take the occult test every week, and if you pass it, you will become a reserve trainee exorcist."

Potter and the other ten people have already taken off their reserve titles because they are the first batch. As long as they pass Hades, they will become official exorcists.

"I understand, are there any problems with the first draft?"

"Cross out the rule 'no near Agate Lake'."

Lu Li understood people's desire to turn Agate Lake into a holy place, but it was not necessary.

"Is that prohibited at this stage? They could dirty Agate Lake."

Valendo asked, out of some kind of worship, he and the new residents behind him didn't want people to desecrate Agate Lake.

"Agate Lake is dirtier than you think." Dan Lu Li said.

Even prohibiting residents from approaching Agate Lake is tantamount to protecting them.

The Twisted Cultists have never stopped cleaning and salvaging, but the dirt accumulated over the past two decades cannot be cleaned up in a dozen days. It will take at least a month or two for them to fish out the "feces", "filth" and "bones"

"Waiting for the source of hateful pollution, it will take the rainy season to dilute Agate Lake before it can be restored to purity.

Merchant Anthony arrived before Valendo left, bringing today's copy of the Wiener Refuge and Earth Dweller Trading Company newspapers.

The strange group of earth dwellers is more suitable for this identity than merchants. They are quite good at discovering business opportunities.

Hades should be able to find a lot of common topics with them.

"Do we also need to set up a newspaper?"

Valendo asked, looking at the headline of the newspaper titled "Trainee Exorcist Under Training".

"No need for now."

There is no need for more than 400 residents to set up a newspaper office, and precious people should not be wasted on it. Anyway, the Land of Light and the ice-free port of Vina communicate with each other, and any news can be spread from the newspaper office in the Vina Refuge Zone.

At the same time, the value of the Weiner Refuge Zone is increased at the Earthly Resident Trading Company. There are indeed a lot of weird people who like to read news about the Land of Light.

And the purpose is unknown.

Valendo left the island in the middle of the lake. Lu Li finished handling things and looked through today's newspapers.

The establishment of the Exorcist brings hope and expectation to people, covering up the pain caused by death and disappearance.

At least the pessimism expressed by Matthäus in the letter was not visible in the newspaper.

The newspapers of the Earth-dwelling Merchant Company mainly focus on old sewers and spiritual towns, and it is always novel to see powerful weirdos or weird leaders appearing as dynamic figures in the newspapers, as if they are a group of weirdos wearing human skins.

In the morning, the sound of Andrea's whistle came from the bay, and the five Banyan Tree Guards and Twisted Jungle arrived at the port.

The Mother of the Swamp and the twisted figure came to the island in the middle of the lake. She will lead her followers to sail to the ice-free port of Vina on Andrea, where she will take over the battleships and artillery, and at the same time accept the seventh batch of migrating residents.

Residents are ready to build the last batch of shacks for the new residents.

It can be expected that the number of the seventh batch of relocated residents will not be less than 200, and they will also be the last batch of residents of the Agate Lake Camp.

Because the camp will expand to the ruins of the city, residents will also gradually move into the cleared old Belfast.

Lu Li was about to go with the twisted figure, but was rejected by the two gods: the camp no longer required Lu Li to do everything himself.

Defense against foreign enemies should be left to generals, not kings.

"The land of light will not be destroyed whether I exist or not."

The identity of the exorcist is greater than its actual use, and...

Lu Li's gaze jumped across the agate lake shimmering with pale golden light and looked at the prosperous camp on the other side.

"And as for hope, they have alternatives."
