Chapter 526 Picking up people

Buzz!

With the help of the floating effect brought by the star body, William landed steadily, just in a forest area full of [maggots].

 A maggot man with a maggot-like lower body and a human-like upper body is clinging to the surrounding trees.

 There is white excrement constantly flowing out of the body, watering the dense crystal eggs on the ground. Unfortunately, the fertility rules of the old world have been locked, and what is hatched from the eggs is only stillbirth.

 Therefore, there are eggs and stillborn fetuses all over the place, which is disgusting.

They had no fear of the arrival of William, a powerful individual, as if they were already tired of living in the old world.

William, on the other hand, didn't care about this group of maggots. He took out the card from Black Ascaria Company, thought about it, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

“Forget it, last time I asked the Black Tape Train to take me to the secret area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce, it almost resulted in the entire train being massacred by Silver Mask... I’d better go there on foot.

It’s just the right time to test the physical growth gained in this month at the circus.

Although I didn’t deliberately exercise my body, I felt that my body had grown a lot under the influence of that atmosphere. "

Seeing that the ground was full of maggot eggs with nowhere to settle, William jumped directly onto the tree trunk and sprinted forward at the top of the forest.

“Hmm! The speed is really much faster... Is it just because I danced a hot dance with Mr. Rabbit? When I complete the route and go back, I must go deep into the acrobatic troupe, and even connect my new department there.”

 The journey of 100 kilometers can be easily reached in half an hour.

Due to the heat from running for a long time, William took off his gentleman's clothes completely when he jumped out of the forest, revealing his beautiful upper body.

Gentlemen’s clothing actually has the function of automatically dissipating heat, but after a month of living in the circus, William seemed to be used to exposing his upper body or even not showing it and felt a little uncomfortable.

 The familiar Grand Canyon is right in front of you,

The completely dark valley hinterland, covered by layers of mountain structures, is the area where the secret area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce is located. The approach of any non-related personnel may lead to the massacre of the Silver Mask.

William came here for only one purpose - [to pick up the goods]

 Get back the candle puppet you stored here, and then officially start your journey of exploring the abyss.

When William went deep into the hinterland, the golden mask holding the candle in his hand came out again.

However, when we met again after a month,

Golden Mask's expression was a little confused, because William's aura had obviously changed, and this image of being shirtless and even deliberately showing off his body was somewhat inconsistent with the restrained young man in the past.

 Golden Mask watched the slight twitching on the surface of the muscles and the restless enthusiasm hidden under the flesh, reminding him of a very troublesome existence.

“William, it seems that you have gained a lot from your trip this month. Are you familiar with that rabbit?”

“Senior Golden Mask, do you know Mr. Rabbit?”

"There's almost no one in the entire silver circle who doesn't know about that rabbit. As for me~ I've met him by chance before. Although we didn't have a direct confrontation, I can tell just from the collision of auras that that guy's body is unparalleled, better than anyone I've ever seen. Life in the old world was terrible.

However, I don’t have much interaction with him. What is his personality like? "

“Well~ I haven’t actually had formal contact with Mr. Rabbit, I just met him a few times and danced a few times along with his performances.

However, from the perspective of feeling, Mr. Rabbit seems to be pretty good to me. "

"I can see that you have a good compatibility with that rabbit, but be careful... once you put on the hood, you may become a slave. However, as a high-quality customer of the Duke, you should not make such a stupid mistake."

You should have signed a confidentiality agreement on all internal matters within the circus, so I won’t ask any more questions. Are you here to see the Duke or something else? "

 “I want to get the candle puppet back.”

"It seems that you are ready to go to the abyss to find a way? I really look forward to what you will become after the way... Wait a moment, I will pick up your candle.

 At present, the Chamber of Commerce is still undergoing "rectification", and it will be very troublesome to take you in. "

 “Trouble.”

“By the way, your candle puppet is too independent. It is unwilling to cooperate with her original owner during the upgrade process, and even looks down on the candle puppet materials prepared in advance.

 In the end, there is no other way. The Chamber of Commerce will provide her with some new materials, and the cost will be recorded in your account. "

 “It’s okay, she shouldn’t spend much.”

“It’s really not too much, just one hundred thousand ancient coins. William, as a high-quality customer, you only need to pay it back within one year. Otherwise, you will be required to repay it forcibly, which will also affect your personal credibility.”

 “One hundred thousand! What did you buy!?”

“Don’t worry, the Chamber of Commerce will not trick you. Since the Duke has revealed to some extent that your path is related to the abyss, sufficient and effective light is indispensable.

 The candle puppet materials we provide can support her long-term operation in the dark.

Moreover, your candle puppet is very interesting. The entire upgrade and assembly process is basically completed by herself.

 Okay, I won’t chat with you anymore, I’ll take her out. "

 “Ah...okay.”

 A full one hundred thousand yuan, the largest deposit William ever had was only twenty thousand yuan.

However, when the golden mask took out the candle puppet, William's expression changed again.

　　Although Thirteen’s image has not changed much, she is still wearing her old and damaged Gothic skirt, with wax remaining between her empty eye sockets.

But the candle hidden between the skull has become completely different, as if it has endless energy, and there is no need to replenish wax oil in the future.

In addition, the mechanical body hidden under the skin has also been completely replaced with a black metal. William even felt that the material itself exuded the smell of the abyss, and the black surface supported the body of the candle puppet like a living thing.

 When walking out of the valley,

 The golden mask was placed on the back of the candle puppet's head, allowing her to regain her sense of self.

 The firelight overflowed from the eye sockets again, the vision was clear, and when he saw the familiar young man in front of him, Thirteen's metal face did not change at all, except for an extra drop of solidified wax oil in the right eye socket.

  She moved behind William at a slightly faster pace than usual, standing silently as before without saying a word.

Instead, the golden mask explains where the money goes:

“Pewter wax made from rare evil yang oil can burn almost endlessly.

As well as a mechanical body reconstructed from abyss metal, candle puppets like this are relatively rare in the entire old world, and they are undoubtedly the best companions for exploring the abyss. "

 “Okay, thank you for taking care of Shisan this month.”

“In any case, we just collect money to do things. Then I wish you a safe journey, William, and you will reach the destination step by step along the unknown path at the bottom of the abyss.”

　　Waving goodbye.

 After William completely walked out of the Chamber of Commerce area, he immediately called the Black Strake train to the vicinity of the abyss.

 With William’s departure,

Golden Mask extinguished the candle in his hand, returned to the depths of the mountain alone, and followed a winding staircase to the secret area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce deep underground.

There are all kinds of weird 'money laundering equipment' placed below, and a large number of gold masks are working here to 'clean' some belonging goods to remove as much as possible the connection between the goods and the original owners or forces, and store them in the Duke's castle.

 Some goods that cannot be completely washed must be specially packaged and sealed.

 The Duke himself is conducting a ceremony related to the "condensation of luck".

The ancient coins, enough to purchase an ordinary neutral city, were consumed during the ceremony, and even the Duke's bloated body was greatly reduced.

At the expense of money and body, he gained control over his own destiny and chose the location for the next exhibition at the Chamber of Commerce. He remained neutral from beginning to end and would not get into any trouble.
