"I have said goodbye to them. Puri Loglinton asked me not to tell them when to leave or where to go."
Chris came back with a gift that the Bloodline Family Alliance failed to give, "So what's next?"
"Head to Midnight City and investigate the Silent Hour along the way."
During the quiet time, he was eager to visit Lu Li when he was resurrected. Lu Li should greet him politely.
Claire opened the gift and found a box of books. These priceless and cheap books record the history of old times and weird times, which is what the Land of Light needs.
"It seems like I'm overthinking it."
Chrissy seemed to relax a little, shaking the remaining glass of wine, "My evaluation has become stale..."
Claire helped businessman Anthony put the wooden box into his backpack, raised his head and asked his mother: "What do you mean?"
"She is wary of the Blood Family Alliance."
Luli Tiklis replied.
For example, whether the Bloodline Family Alliance rebelled, whether it used the Heart of Astos as bait to capture Lu Li, or invaded the Land of Light.
So Chris deliberately drank the red wine they offered and hid underground in Black Box Town, which was easily found.
"Do you want the rest of these?"
Chrissy raised the wine glass with lip marks on it towards Lu Li.
"I don't drink."
"Then your life must be very boring." Chris drank the rest in one gulp.
The Bloodline Family Alliance can now be contacted as a true ally - still a little short of close allies like Weiner Dungeon, Ghost Town, and Worm.
"You still need soul to replenish your humanity."
Lu Li took the black robe from the businessman Anthony and responded to Margaret's instructions: "I have asked the businessman to contact the idealistic demon to put the soul on the road."
The added humanity after resurrection only kept Lu Li from being swallowed by the abyss. He needed more humanity to maintain himself and use the cursed title.
"Better let the merchant follow you."
The loose black robe covered his outline, Lu Li put on his hood, and his face fell into shadow.
"Then everyone knows he comes from the land of light." Claire replied.
It's just right now. The pagan costumes won't attract attention, and the weird ones who have been in contact with humans still think Lu Li is a ghost. The new lighthouse can prevent him from being disgusted by the weird ones.
It's just a little slow.
So Lu Li had to go through the old sewers and take the worm train to the Midnight City area.
"Little Leimi, you can take me with you."
"don't want."
Claire's sudden change of mood pointed to the coldness and strong wind whining through the hole: "Reject me and you will suffer the vicious curse of despair and pain..."
"What a curse."
"All residents of the Land of Light will know you as little Remy."
"don't want."
"Lu Li, you really need a helper, someone who is familiar with the current Midnight City." At the critical moment, her mother Chris said for her.
Moreover, Claire's ability to control the wind will come in handy, at least Lu Li will no longer need to use it when leaving Black Box Town.
Lu Li agreed to her, so Claire followed Lu Li's example and asked the merchant Anthony for a black robe, becoming a short pagan.
After Chris leaves the merchant world, Margaret will stay in Black Box Town for a while until Lu Li comes back to pick her up.
Before nightfall, Lu Li and Claire left Black Box Town and headed to the nearest old sewer main line.
A few days' journey away, a small town was abandoned and then occupied by alien species.
Lu Li already knew about the situation in the town, and the merchants from the old sewer main line underground in the town would help them.
After the destruction of the Earth dwellers, humans and weirdos worked together to divide their heritage. The weirdos robbed the goods, while humans occupied the Earth dweller trading houses themselves - the shops that originally belonged to the Earth dwellers.
There were not many in number, but they had good geographical conditions and were all on the main line. After the name was changed, they were filled with supplies and reopened. It was called the Merchant's Cottage.
"There are our people there, you can go and take away the soul."
The soul sent by the idealistic demon is there.
Even if they continue to search, there are only single-digit merchants who obviously cannot support the operation of the "Merchant Cottage Chain", so the Land of Light mostly hires nearby allies to operate it. In addition to profit sharing, employees are also given a strange currency every week.
The salary in the old sewer is low, but the advantage is that you don't have to take risks, and you are still working under the bright land.
Weird people are not interested in the latter, and alien species are not interested in the former - especially after learning about the strange residents.
While Lu Li and Claire were avoiding strange things along the way, they were also hunting for them.
The added humanity is negligible, but one must be prepared to encounter crises. However, perhaps because they were close to Black Box Town, Astos made enough noise in the past few days, and they successfully reached the alien tribe.
Late at night, two pagans, one tall and one short, were welcomed to the gathering place between the town and the lair. They went down from the hole to the old sewer without attracting attention, and arrived at the merchant's cabin.
A shack, both externally and internally, is no different from other buildings in the old sewer, except that the words and deeds of the workers are more human-like.
The waiter with facial features sewn up and a malignant sarcoma led the customer outside the warehouse and took out a wooden box from the Land of Light, with a note attached to it:
【I am not your postman】
Lu Li didn't have any money to pay the man, but Land of Light had already paid.
After leaving the merchant's cabin with a soul corresponding to about 100 parts of humanity, Lu Li took Claire to the underground rock formation dozens of meters deep to replenish his humanity.
"It feels strange, right? As a lord, you find that you have a strange number of weird employees under you." Claire muttered.
The increase in humanity has not made Lu Li exude aura, and 100 humanity is not the end yet.
Since he had no time to wait for the Mentalist Demon here, Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to bring the news and asked the Mentalist Demon to send the new soul to Ghost Town.
Continuing forward, there is an underground cave marked "The Lair" ahead. Follow the route and pass the "Lair" before you can ride the worm train.
When you emerge from the cave, an underground world more magnificent than the Wiener Underground City appears in front of you, as if you were peeking out of a rat hole into the auditorium.
Weird clouds of unknown origin are surging in the vast underground. It is impossible to know what these living-like clouds are covering. It is impossible to know what existence spreads them. Perhaps it is the unknown deep underground, or perhaps it is the pollution overflowing from the deep world.
.
Lu Li is no longer suitable to maintain strong curiosity now. He needs to learn to summarize knowledge——
Intake that improves oneself and humanity; discard that which only satisfies curiosity.
It took them several hours to cross the cave, but surprisingly they encountered no trouble.
Until Lu Li stepped onto the other side of the "lair" and entered the cave, he looked back as if he was aware of it, and then froze.
"What are you looking at?"
"The 'door' appears."
A few seconds later, Claire, who had no memory, asked again in confusion:
"...What are you looking at?"
Lu Li looked away from the small, deep and terrifying shadow on the other side of the distant lair.
