The final gentleman

Buzz!

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

Maggots with maggot-like lower bodies and human-like upper bodies are clinging to the surrounding trees.

White excrement is 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 stillborn fetuses.

So there are eggs and stillborn fetuses everywhere, 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 paid no attention to this group of maggots. He took out the Blackworm Company's card, thought about it, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

"Forget it, the last time I asked the Black Tape Train to take me to the secret area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce, it almost caused the whole train to be massacred by Silver Mask... I'd better go there on foot.

It's just the right time to test the physical growth gained during 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 did 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 100-kilometer journey can be easily reached in half an hour.

Because it was quite hot after 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.

Gentleman'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 hinterland of the valley, which is 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 - [pick up 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,

The expression on the golden mask 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 passion 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 basically 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 regarding 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 take out your candle.

The Chamber of Commerce is still 'renovating' at present, 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 costs will be recorded in your account. "

"It's okay, it shouldn't cost her 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 forced to repay it, 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 its 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’m going to take her out. "

"Ah...okay."

A total of 100,000 yuan, the largest deposit William ever had was only 20,000 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, all the mechanical flesh hidden under the skin was 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 placed its palm 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 became 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 like before without saying a word.

On the contrary, it was the golden mask that explained the whereabouts of the money:

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

As well as a mechanical body reconstructed from abyss metal, such a candle puppet is relatively rare in the entire old world, and it is undoubtedly the best companion for exploring the abyss. "

"Okay, thank you for taking care of Thirteen this month."

"If anything, we just collect money to do things. Then I wish you a safe journey, William, and you will reach your destination step by step along the unknown path at the bottom of the abyss."

Wave goodbye.

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

With William's departure,

Golden Mask put out 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. Some belongings are 'cleaned' to remove as much as possible the connection between the goods and the original owners or forces, and stored in the Duke's castle.

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

The Duke himself is performing a ritual 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 destiny and chose the location for the next chamber of commerce exhibition. He remained neutral from beginning to end and would not get into any trouble.
