Chapter 526 Receiving people

   Hum!

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

  The maggots with maggot-like lower body and human-shaped upper body are sticking to the surrounding trees,

  White excrement constantly flows out of the body, watering the dense crystal eggs on the ground. Unfortunately, the fertility rules of the old world have been locked, and the eggs hatched are only stillborns.

  So there are eggs and stillborn babies all over the place, which is disgusting.

  For the coming of William, a powerful individual, they didn't have any fear. It seemed that they were already tired of living in the old world.

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

   "Forget it, the last time I let the black round train take me to the secret area of ​​the chamber of commerce, it almost caused the whole train to be massacred by silver masks... I'd better go there on foot.

   Just to test the physical growth harvested in the circus this month.

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

  Seeing that the ground was full of maggot eggs and there was no way to settle, William jumped directly onto the tree trunk, striding forward at the top of the forest.

   "Well! The speed is really much faster... Is it just because I danced with Mr. Rabbit? When I finish the path and go back, I must go deep into the acrobatic troupe and even connect my new department."

  The 100-kilometer journey can be reached easily in half an hour,

  Due to 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 automatic heat dissipation, but after a month of circus life, William seems to be used to showing his upper body or even not showing it, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

  The familiar Grand Canyon is in front of you,

  The hinterland of the valley, which is completely dark and 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 has only one purpose for coming this time - [Pickup]

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

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

  However, when we met again after a month,

  The expression of the golden mask is a bit puzzled, because William's aura has changed significantly, and the image of being shirtless and even deliberately showing his flesh is somewhat contrary to the reserved young man in the past.

  The golden mask watched the slight pulsations on the surface of the muscles, as well as the restless enthusiasm hidden under the flesh, reminding him of a very troublesome existence.

   "William, it looks like you've had a fruitful month of travel. You don't know that rabbit well, do you?"

   "Senior Golden Mask, do you know Mr. Rabbit?"

"Basically there is no one in the entire silver circle who doesn't know that rabbit. As for me~ I met it by chance before, although I didn't fight directly, but just by the collision of the aura, I can know that the guy's body is incomparable, better than any one I have ever seen. Life in the old world was terrible.

  However, I haven't had much contact with him. How is he? "

   "Well~ Actually, I haven't had formal contact with Mr. Rabbit, I just met a few times and danced a few times with his performance.

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

   "It can be seen that you have a high affinity with that rabbit, but be careful... Once you wear the hood, you may become a slave. However, as a high-quality customer of the Duke, you should not make such low-level mistakes.

   You should have signed a non-disclosure agreement for the internal affairs of the circus, so I won’t ask any more questions. Did you come here this time to meet the Duke or something else? "

   "I want to get the Candle Puppet back."

   "It seems that you are going 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 puppet.

  Currently the chamber of commerce is still 'reorganizing', and it will be very troublesome to take you in. "

   "Trouble."

   "By the way, your candle puppet is too autonomous, and you don't want to cooperate with her original owner during the upgrade process, and even look down on the prepared candle puppet materials.

   In the end, there was no other way. The Chamber of Commerce provided her with some new materials, and these expenses will be charged to your account. "

   "It's okay, she shouldn't spend much."

   "It's not too much, that's 100,000 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 the loan, and it will also affect your personal reputation."

   "One hundred thousand! What did you buy!?"

   "Don't worry, the chamber of commerce won't cheat you. Since the Duke has to some extent pointed out that your path is related to the abyss, sufficient and effective lighting is indispensable.

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

   Moreover, your candle puppet is very interesting, the whole upgrade and assembly process is basically completed by her herself.

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

   "Ah... well."

   A total of 100,000 yuan, and the largest deposit William ever had was only 20,000 yuan.

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

  Although Thirteen hasn't changed much in appearance, she still wears her old and damaged gothic skirt, with wax oil remaining in her hollow eye sockets.

  But the candles hidden between the skulls are completely different, as if they have endless energy, and there will be no need to replenish wax oil in the future.

  In addition, the mechanical body hidden under the skin was also 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 self-awareness.

  Fire light overflowed from the eye sockets again, and when he saw the familiar young man with clear vision, Thirteen's metal face remained unchanged, except for a drop of solidified wax oil in the right eye socket.

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

   Instead, the golden mask explains where the money goes:

   "The white wax made of rare evil yang oil can burn almost without stopping.

  And the mechanical body reconstructed from the metal of the abyss, such a candle puppet is relatively rare in the whole old world, and it is the best companion for exploring the abyss. "

   "Okay, thanks for taking care of Thirteen this month."

   "Where is it, we are just collecting money to do things. Then I wish William a smooth journey, and follow the unknown path at the bottom of the abyss in one step."

   Wave goodbye.

  After William completely walked out of the chamber of commerce area, he immediately called the black round train to the vicinity of the location of the abyss.

  With William gone,

  The golden mask extinguished the candle in his hand, returned to the depths of the mountain alone, and followed a winding staircase to the depths of the ground, the secret area of ​​the chamber of commerce.

  There are all kinds of strange-shaped "money laundering equipment" placed below, and a large number of gold masks are working here to "clean" some belonging goods to wash away the connection between the goods and the original owner or power as much as possible, and store them in the Duke's castle.

  Some products that cannot be completely washed have to be specially packaged and sealed.

   And the Duke himself is conducting a ceremony about the "coalescence of luck".

  The ancient coins enough to buy an ordinary neutral city were consumed during the ceremony, and even the duke's bloated body shrunk significantly.

   At the cost of money and body, in exchange for his own control over luck and choosing a location for the next Chamber of Commerce exhibition, he will remain neutral from beginning to end and will not cause any trouble.
