"I'm quite interested in the artifact you mentioned." Victor grabbed his hair and continued to threaten, "What is that?"
The man groaned and replied: "Yes...it's a legend from Ainannia."
"Legend? What legend?" Victor was curious.
The man explained: "Have you...have you read "The Book of Taliesin"?"
"What book?" Victor pulled the man's hair upward again.
"That's it... that's it... you can borrow it from the library, the Ainannian epics, myths and legends!"
That book sounds quite ordinary, maybe it is a popular book, after all, you can borrow it at will in the library.
However, Victor didn't read it. He ordered the thin man to talk about the key points.
The other party gritted his teeth and replied: "It is rumored that on the battlefield of Ainannia in ancient times, a crucible appeared that could resurrect the dead. This allowed the defeated side to reverse the situation and win the war."
"Oh..." Victor pouted, "A pot? Are you here just to find a pot?"
"Yes...Mr. Thomas hopes to use it to replicate the achievements of the Davis family and make a comeback." The thin man explained without reservation.
Victor suddenly sneered: "The comeback only relies on a pot? Do you think the wonders of Turbulent Castle were accomplished with a pot? Or did it rely on the dead people down here who were deprived of even their wails and cries?"
"this……"
The thin man seemed to be speechless by Victor's words. His eyes wandered wildly, hesitating, as if he wanted to explain, but suddenly, he stood up suddenly, a cold light flashed under his chest, and stabbed Victor's chest with a dagger.
Unexpectedly, a mysterious force bounced him away, and the body of the young man in front of him was not harmed in any way.
"Ah, don't you understand now that I am actually a seer?" Victor was still laughing one second, but his face turned ferocious the next moment.
He kicked the weapon out of the other man's hand, rushed over and twisted his neck from behind, suppressing the man until he couldn't breathe.
The man was thin and was no match for Victor. He opened his mouth and inhaled feebly, and eventually suffocated and passed out quickly.
Victor quickly took off his clothes and put on his own, then picked up the knife, cut the other man's neck without any hesitation, and kicked him off the platform.
Guys who can hang out with Thomas are definitely not good people. From the beginning, Victor had no intention of saving their lives.
After changing his clothes, wiping his face with the handkerchief in the other party's pocket, and pretending to be a dinner guest, Victor ran towards the place where the large group had left.
There are different production lines there, steam fills the passages inside the mountain, and there are several pipes hanging above and below the feet. It is very frightening for people to walk on the suspended metal plank road.
Victor saw the upper class people, he trotted up to them, lowered the brim of his hat and followed at the end.
People continued to communicate, almost forgetting the existence of Thomas and the tall and thin man.
"Okay everyone! Let's return to the ground and join today's wedding!"
Albert led everyone to the bottom of an elevator, which was not the elevator that Victor came down from.
"The wedding? Isn't it held during the day tomorrow?" Someone joked with a smile.
"It's almost dawn, everyone, this carnival has made everyone forget the time." Albert nodded and replied.
Everyone looked surprised. One man took out his pocket watch and took a look. Sure enough, the night had passed.
The dinner at Turbulent Castle lasted until the morning, and most people didn't sleep.
Albert opened the elevator, and all the guests, including Victor, crowded in.
This elevator seemed to be specially prepared for transportation, and it was much larger than the one Eredin led Victor to find at the beginning.
As the deafening machinery started, everyone excitedly felt the ground rise.
Most people in this era have never tried taking an elevator, so they are very surprised by this "experience".
Victor doesn't know who invented the elevator in this world, but he is certain that it must not have been popularized yet.
Everyone was crowded on this platform, and Victor and Albert were always separated by many people, so he did not find an opportunity to sneak attack on each other.
Finally, after a long journey of ascent, people returned to the ground and followed Albert to the center of the banquet hall again.
The dance and feast last night had been cleared away, and now the whole hall was crowded with guests. They were chatting with each other, and it was very lively.
"We need to prepare a little more. Please wait here for a moment." After Albert finished speaking, he turned and left the hall. Then the entrance door closed heavily, and all the guests gathered inside at this time.
Victor's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was a trap set up by the Davis family, but in the next second, a guy suspected to be an official from Lilqua Town suddenly walked to the front, and the chandelier above his head lit up, covering his entire body.
Shown in the spotlight of the public.
"Everyone! I am Pu'er Cui Aimo, the current mayor of Lilkui, a partner of the Davis family, and the co-founder of Turbulent Castle."
His appearance was not part of the wedding program. People had not even seen the man and woman getting married, so they did not understand what this man wanted to do.
But although everyone was confused, many people still gave him applause.
The mayor of Lilcui was smiling all over his face, and his smile was very much like the pyramid schemes leaders Victor had seen in his previous life.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and was ready to start speaking.
"I believe that most of us are here not just to congratulate Mr. Rathomonde and Ms. Miria on their wedding, right?"
It was a bit subtle to say such words in the master's house, but the mayor of Lilquay didn't care. What he said next simply surprised Victor.
"Money! Wealth! This is the eternal topic when we gather together!"
"You may all know that today's society is a society full of competition and challenges. It is very difficult for people to live an ideal wealthy and happy life."
"I know many friends here, including those who run mines, plantations, ranchers, logistics and transportation, textile industry, etc. The land in the eastern part of the country has indeed given us many opportunities, but few of them really make big money.
There are very few..."
Following his words, people looked at each other, their eyes responding to each other's different inner thoughts.
The mayor of Lilcui was very confident, spreading his hands and continuing to incite.
"Wake up, everyone, I know that most people are far less wealthy than they appear to be. They may enjoy a lot of prosperity on weekdays, but when they really need money, they will still be in trouble and have to resort to loans and greedy people.
bank."
"You may all have had this experience. You have worked hard to run your own industry for several years and are exhausted every day. However, you can only get meager profits and barely survive, and you have to face various pressures and difficulties in life. Hope.
For those who lived in the west and became prosperous through trade and finance, they all lived a prosperous life and prospered in the business and political circles, but they themselves could only be indifferent and trapped in the barren land.
Powerless and lost.”
What he said must have touched on the pain points of most people present, and people started talking again.
The mayor was very satisfied with everyone's response and immediately started talking about the key points.
"That's why we are all invited to come here to attend Mr. Rathomond's wedding and witness the miracle of Turbulent Castle."
"You may have thought about why some people can make money easily, but you have to work hard and can barely maintain your family's career? Why are some people able to enjoy a free and happy life, but you can only be restrained and
Depressed? Why are some people able to realize their dreams and ideals, but you can only give up and compromise?"
"Sometimes choice is more important than hard work. When you find that your family fortunes are beginning to decline, have you ever considered that it was you who did not choose the right project in the first place?"
"Think about how difficult it was for our ancestors to expand eastward. The slave manors we finally established now are resisted by those in the north and west who enjoy the dividends of trade. I'm afraid they have forgotten that every
How much raw materials will the Saiguo sell to the Western Continent every year? Without our active work, how could the Saiguo have the money to buy industrial products from the Western Continent?"
"And as citizens, all we want is to become rich and live a better life."
