Chapter 422: Special Education

Yi Chen first returned to the Candle Puppet Shop and told the boss about the Duke’s olive branch.

The boss was stunned at first, and then his mouth in the center of his face began to laugh wildly. He completely regarded it as a joke, and even suspected that Yi Chen had any intentions and became wary.

It wasn't until Yi Chen showed the "Seal of Trade" on the back of his hand that the boss reluctantly believed it, and immediately closed the shop and headed to the Duke's Chamber of Commerce together.

 There is no need for any process, because the name is called in person. The boss only needs to sign a long-term contract and he will be branded with a "seal of transaction" of another color, representing the employees of the chamber of commerce.

this moment,

The boss's long-lost eyes were filled with new luster, and the dream that had only a flame in the past was rekindled. He was granted an independent studio in the chamber of commerce, and was allowed to use the public facilities related to the candle puppet. Materials, if you can develop a candle puppet that the Duke finds interesting, you will also receive higher permissions to use the materials.

 As a token of gratitude, any candle-related services in his store will be free for Yi Chen for life.

The boss also offered to replace the candle puppet with the best one in the store, but Yi Chen bluntly refused.

"In my opinion, this is the best. Boss, please pursue your dream. I may add some things to this candle puppet in the future, and I will have to trouble you then."

The boss also became more curious, "What's so good about this thing? Why can't I see it myself...it's obviously damaged, and I even used inferior adhesive to repair it, which is a desecration of such a work."

“My eyes are better and I can see the way she was originally made. I should have put more effort into her than all the high-end candle dolls in your store, which is enough.”

 Farewell to the boss,

As a high-quality customer of the Duke, Yichen also enjoys free accommodation within the Chamber of Commerce.

He was also guided by employees in golden masks and placed in a hotel in a human style. The entire hotel has been gilded by the Chamber of Commerce, so that even the dim light of the city lights cannot be projected into it, ensuring personal privacy.

Except for high-quality customers like Yi Chen, ordinary customers need to pay to stay, starting from 500 ancient coins per day.

In addition, Yi Chen also discovered a very interesting thing,

 Regardless of the employees within the hotel,

 Or the attendants wandering around the merchant district,

Or some chamber of commerce personnel responsible for logistics maintenance or even cleaning all wear the same gold mask.

Although their bodies are different, the aura emitted by the masks is exactly the same.

The room is a first-class suite on the top floor of the hotel. It has the best lighting and visibility, and can have an overview of the entire East District business district.

 Golden Mask briefly explained some precautions, then put his palms on his chest and bowed deeply.

"If you need any help, please feel free to shout the word 'Golden Mask'. I will rush to serve you as soon as possible. I hope you can get the best experience during the duration of the Chamber of Commerce. If there is nothing else, I will not disturb you. "

"etc."

 “What’s the matter, Mr. William?”

“Excuse me, are all the people wearing golden masks in the Chamber of Commerce area your clones? What is your identity in the Chamber of Commerce?”

“It’s not a clone, the people wearing the golden mask are all me... I am the “Duke’s left hand”, as I said just now, just call me the golden mask. "

This made Yi Chen curious and continued to ask: "Is the "Duke's right hand" a silver mask? "

“You are right, it is the Silver Mask.

He usually does not show up directly, but hides in every corner of the Chamber of Commerce, secretly observing all visitors and guessing their motives. If he finds a 'criminal' with weird behavior, he can usually solve it quietly before anything happens. .

 Only when major problems arise in the Chamber of Commerce will he reveal his true identity... That guy is dangerous, but as a respected and high-quality customer, you will not be targeted by him. "

“Well, please remind me before the auction starts.”

"no problem."

The door is locked, and the next step is Yi Chen's private time.

“This gold mask should have a silver frame at least, as if as long as you put on the gold mask, you will be assimilated into a part of the other person.

Phew~ With the existence of such a character, I can do things with peace of mind. Finally, you don’t have to be exposed to low-light surveillance, let’s start educating! "

Yi Chen brought over two leather chairs and sat opposite Zhu Du.

 In the empty eye sockets of the candle, as the burning continued, wax oil would drip down every once in a while, or solidify around the eye sockets, so she would take out a shabby oil-absorbing cloth and wipe her face regularly every minute or so.

If you ignore the characteristics of "no eyes", "exposed cervical vertebrae", and "marks of puppet assembly", this candle puppet still looks very delicate.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

As Yi Chen moved his third cervical vertebra, the "lighting mode" was activated, and a white candle rose above his head.

The next teachings are different. Previous teachings involved defeating the opponent in battle and imprinting his mind quickly.

This time, the doll belongs to Yi Chen himself.

 What he is going to carry out is a more detailed and more focused ‘one-to-one’ teaching,

“If my guess is correct, this white candle, which is the core of the doll’s power,

 It should be to soak the complete and fresh brain in a special kind of wax oil, soak it for a long time and heat it to a certain temperature, so that the brain is completely dissolved in it.

Due to the affinity of wax oil to the brain and the characteristics of the candle puppeteer's illness, the brain in a dissolved state still retains its biological characteristics, functions and consciousness.

 Finally, such a white candle brain is obtained through some kind of "manufacturing" process.

  No wonder there are only less than twenty candle puppet masters in such a huge lantern city. It is really difficult to master this process perfectly. I estimate that some candle puppet masters may have used thousands of brains to feed their skills.

 The old world is so interesting..."

As a lunatic, Yi Chen was very excited when he saw the nature of this new technology.

He opened his skull and used his fingers to touch the black brain that was inflamed and itchy due to excitement.

This moment is not only face-to-face, but also a brain-to-brain state.

Yichen activates the brain tissue throughout the body's muscles, raising the physical precision to an unprecedented level. At the same time, he combines the small grapes, opens an eye of ashes between his eyebrows, and completely focuses on and locks the white candle in front of him.

At this moment, he will turn into a carver and start carving between the white candles with his sharp index finger.

 With the ancient characters stroke by stroke carefully carved on the surface of the white candle,

The candlelight was erratic during this process, and the candle puppet's body also began to twitch mechanically.

 As the final stroke is formed,

The impeccable, twisting black word "epilepsy" was successfully imprinted on the surface of the white candle, like a beautiful brainworm with an independent life. After a while of twisting, it burrowed into the depths of the white candle.

 The candles were scattered and the wax-sealed consciousness was reintegrated and restored under the influence of Epilepsy.

 A strong desire for knowledge is also given to it,

 Get up,

Holding the hem of the skirt with both hands,

Bent your knees and lower your head,

"teacher!"

"May I have your name."

"Teacher, just call me "Thirteen". Is there anything I can do to help you?" "

“Try it yourself first and tell me which parts of your body are uncomfortable or need to be replaced. Follow me to the auction later, maybe you can come across something suitable for you.”

“Teacher, if possible, could you buy me some books about candle puppets? I want to know more about myself.”

“Okay, I’ll get some copies for you after the auction.”

"Thank you, teacher."
