Chapter 138 On the Collapse of the Lighthouse
After expelling Anri, Lu Yao turned his attention to Yancheng.
Philles said that there have been huge changes here, and now slave traders are in control of the city.
Lu Yao overlooked the city.
A series of reminders immediately popped up in the simulator.
【Yan Jiu founded the Ascetic Order. 】
【Consultation led to the creation of a citizens' council.】
【Yancheng invented slavery.】
【Yancheng invented the taxation system.】
[Because of slavery in Yancheng, everyone's attack has been slightly improved, and their defense has been slightly weakened. ]
【Duolun Nunu wrote the first history book "The History of Changes in Yancheng".】
【Doronunu invented history.】
【Everyone has learned to use history.】
…
Lu Yao observed this series of changes one by one.
First, there are the Trappist Orders.
Yan Jiu. This masochistic monk who liked to be whipped by the gods left a deep impression on Lu Yao.
Lu Yao couldn't find anyone around, so he tried to click on Yan Jiu's reminder with his mouse, and the view immediately jumped to a stone house.
It turns out that the reminder bar also has a built-in positioning function.
The stone house is located in the mountains between Yaocheng and Yancheng, and its appearance is inconspicuous.
Lu Yao double-clicked the stone house and entered a bird's-eye view of the house.
There were more than a dozen people kneeling inside.
They all wore the same attire: bare-chested, shaved heads, and strings of garlic hung around their necks.
The leader is Yanjiu.
He is now 63 years old, but in good health and has no ghost symbol above his head.
…

【history】
At the age of 37, he founded a monastic order and completed his second pilgrimage.
At the age of 45, he was attacked by a monster at sea and lost his left arm, completing his third pilgrimage.
He lost his left eye at the age of 51 and realized [Avoidance] at the ruins of a miracle.
He completed his fourth pilgrimage at the age of 53.
He completed his fifth pilgrimage at the age of 61.
…
Lu Yao felt a little sad.
Yan Jiu's life experience is quite tortuous.
He was born with [longevity] and extraordinary talents, but later he became a believer of the White God due to a shipwreck. After failing to spread the faith as a heretic, Yan Jiu became a traitor who was hated by everyone. Finally, he withstood the pressure and came to the temple to confess.
Lu Yao didn't give him a chance.
Yan Jiu became an ascetic and martyr again.
He founded an ascetic order and insisted on pilgrimages for many years. During this long and unresponsive process, Yan Jiu's body began to become damaged, but he also realized [avoidance].
Yan Jiu is the first among Lu Yao's followers to acquire extraordinary powers with a human body.
A prompt pops up on the screen.
——Great God, one of our believers has performed a feat far beyond his peers. Do we need to transform him into a hero?
【whether】
Lu Yao opened the temple and found that there were no new characters inside.
When he returned to the stone house, he saw a faint light emanating from above Yanjiu's head.
In other words, you can now transform heroes without going to the temple. This seems to be a minor adjustment in the world version update.
Lu Yao clicked [No] again.
In order to maximize the use of the [Ascetic] ability, let Yan Jiu, the pioneer, continue to practice... Next time for sure! The symbol of pain appeared above Yan Jiu's head again.
Then it changes into a happy expression.
Under the rejection and contempt of the gods, Yan Jiu's level was suddenly raised to LV15.
He knelt on the ground, with his head bowed to the ground: "My Lord God, your loyal servant senses your boundless will. I will continue my journey of asceticism until the end of my old body..."
Exclamation marks appeared above the heads of other ascetics, and they also knelt down.
Yan Jiu's experience has made Lu Yao certain that an ordinary person can grow into an extraordinary individual through the path of [Ascetic].
Lu Yao also discovered a new point: history.
He clicked on another Dervish next to him.
In this little man’s panel, there is indeed a [History] column.
…
When he was 15, he was caught stealing and had five fingers on his left hand chopped off.
He lost his hearing at the age of 16 while capturing slaves.
He joined the Trappist Order at the age of 18.
…
Lu Yao checked the ascetics around him one by one.
…
He became a pirate at the age of 24 and escaped during a fight with a slave trader.
He joined the Trappist Order at the age of 27.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
He was poisoned at the age of 31 and was saved by Shiohisa.
He joined the Trappist Order at the age of 32.
…
At the age of 22, he was captured by slave traders and became a slave.
At the age of 29, he killed his slave owner and escaped.
He joined the Trappist Order at the age of 33.
…
Lu Yao understood.
Everyone has learned how to use history, and their personal panels now have [History].
The current starting point of personal history is when [history] was invented. The content was relatively simple, and only major personal events were described and recorded.
This is just like the tribal people inventing writing, which allows the entire game interface to have all kinds of detailed resource data.
The advancement of civilization is not only beneficial to the development of the pixel people themselves, but also brings convenience and intuitiveness to Lu Yao behind the scenes.
…
Lu Yao clicked on the [Citizens Council] in the reminder.
The perspective jumps to Yancheng.
The Parliament Hall is behind the library. The building is circular and looks like a beer theater that is two sizes smaller.
The citizens' council was very lively at this time.
The parliamentary representatives sat in circular tiered seats, looking at the speaker in the circular center of the hall.
A dialogue box popped up above a little man's head.
"...Yancheng is now facing tremendous external pressure. To consolidate the city, we need taller and more complete city walls. Only the city walls can protect the entire city, and the port is also an important part."
"Once a continuous wall is built, no matter if it is a monster or a pirate, it will not be able to break through in a short period of time. This will protect everyone's property and safety."
"Yancheng needs more and taller walls! A lot of tax money must be spent on building walls!"
Parliament was indifferent.
The villain stepped down and left.
Another person walked to the center of the hall. He was wearing a black coat and was a scholar.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the council, the pirates led by Bronze Sea continue to threaten the entire city."
"Let me be frank. If Yancheng wants to change the situation, it must abolish slavery!"
He said: "We all know that the slave market is now close to being out of control. Not only the formerly hostile savages, islanders, and uncivilized natives, but also some foreign citizens who have long since moved to Yancheng have been captured as slaves..."
"The situation has reached a point where we can no longer do anything about it!"
"The number of pirates is increasing, not because they are getting stronger, but because more and more slaves and people who are worried about becoming slaves are joining them."
His words were answered by the parliament.
"The slave market is a trade issue and we will further regulate the trade in the future."
"Pirates are pirates, criminals and robbers. Don't mix piracy with business!"
"Without slaves, this city wouldn't have the population and prosperity it has today. We must not forget our roots."
Scholars can only leave.
Several people made various suggestions, but received no effective feedback.
Lu Yao was not surprised.
Yancheng is now in the hands of slave traders and salt clans. The main source of their wealth is the slave trade, and they will never cut off their own interests.
As long as he gave the order to the apostles, slavery would disappear from the city. However, Lu Yao was not in a hurry to take action. He still hoped that the villains would work hard internally to end this barbaric system.
Lu Yao noticed the port northwest of Yancheng.
There were two groups of people fighting.
On one side were pirates, on the other were slave traders. The fight was fierce, with people falling down one after another.
To be precise, it was the pirates and the merchants' slaves who were fighting.
However, the slaves obviously did not have a strong fighting spirit, even though they were much more numerous. After the pirates chopped down more than a dozen of them, they fled in all directions.
The merchants had already seen that the situation was not good and fled.
The pirates who occupied the port began to set fires everywhere.
The port, which was built with great effort by many workers in the past, was now engulfed in raging fire and destroyed in the red light.
Lu Yao remembered that there was originally a lighthouse here, which was once the pride and symbol of Yancheng.
It is not tall, but when it is lit, it can guide the direction of distant ships.
Now only ruins remain.
