uninvited guest
Wu Ci, who was dragging a lot of things away from the battlefield wreckage, believed that so many people who got pneumonia in the Middle Ages either made themselves sick because of morbid aesthetics or because they breathed too much air.
Being in such a smelly place, dirty every day, it was not decent at all. If conditions allowed, he really would not stay there like he did in the first simulation where he had no idea about the outside world.
He had already condensed enough blood and energy here through the "Heavenly Starve Sutra", devoured enough corpse reserves through "Blood and Flesh Infusion", looted a large amount of property and valuable armor that were bought for almost zero dollars, and left early before the arrival of the Templar Knights in the previous round.
Ypresvence, this small town is ruled by the Tulip Baron.
It was not the closest city to the battlefield, it was not even a small town.
The reason Wu Ci chose this place as his destination was not because it was close and convenient, but because the area outside the town was extremely open and vast, with the most numerous being the endless flower fields of various kinds. Inside the town were various flower workshops, mills, and distillation workshops.
Yes, this town has sufficient sunshine due to its longitude and latitude, and its main source of income is flower crops. It is well-known throughout the Solomon Empire, and the bright and romantic fragrance of flowers in the sun can be seen everywhere.
Many years later, after suffering a disaster and losing the sun, with only a small part of the major cities left and closed management, "Ipvence" is still known as the capital of flowers by all ages.
You have to know that during this period, the ignorance promoted by the Templar Church made people dislike bathing, the Black Death was prevalent, and the Templar Church's plague doctors who were best at bloodletting were ready to serve at any time.
There were many nobles who committed promiscuity. The palace was full of feces. The toilets in the castle were usually made by opening holes directly in the wall, allowing the excrement to pile up against the wall into a mountain of feces that would be dried by the wind!
The noble ladies also urinated and defecated directly in their complicated skirts. The high wigs of noble men and women were never washed. They were shaped with lard, feces and branches of various creatures. There were even rats crawling inside!
Even the most prosperous capital of Solomon's Empire, Kasai, was full of stench, with feces and sewage piled up like mountains on the roads. In comparison, you can see how valuable this place is.
Wu Ci carefully took all the looted items to the black market in another viscount's territory and exchanged them for gold and silver coins. He then returned to "Yprevence" and bought an abandoned mill in a valley to settle down.
Based on what happened in the previous round, if the nobles do not buy the indulgence, they will be noticed by the Silver Lord, so he does not plan to go the route of being knighted through military merit this round, but plans to do some "small business".
From an ordinary person's perspective, as the worst "terrorist" in history who was wanted by the whole world in his previous life, Wu Ci is quite proficient in chemical engineering. For example, he made bombs and electromagnetic cannons with his bare hands, and built airplanes and tanks. He also sneaked into the research institute of the Sky Group to secretly carry out aerospace engineering in an attempt to escape from the dark planet, or secretly experimented with space-based weapons in an attempt to threaten the world's respect for him...
However, he was ultimately unable to escape the realm of ordinary people and successfully rebel against this world. He died quietly, just like all ordinary people. Perhaps this is the origin of the Heroic Spirit's inherent talent [Ordinary Man].
Of course, the Middle Ages didn't require so many skills, so Wu Ci decided to just sell some of the time travelers' favorite glass products, soaps and the like. He could also make some cosmetics and gunpowder according to local conditions.
He still had a little spare money, and in the medieval slave society where labor was cheap, he could easily hire a large number of workers to work for him, giving him time to practice the "Heavenly Starve Sutra", and his own abilities were also enough to deal with some jealous petty villains.
After making money for a year or so, it's almost time for the plot point of last week's episode "The foreign princess from the defeated country is taken to Kasay as a hostage". Wu Ci can go kidnap people, convince them with reason, and then send them to the ruins of the original witch to get the "mechanical heart" out of them.
He was quite interested in the power of witches, but apart from the original witch who showed extraordinary powers and turned into a cybernetic ghost in the ruins in the previous round, most of the witches he saw were simply tied to the stake and burned to death without any resistance. They must have been poor girls who were slandered.
The reason why he insisted on waiting until the right time to rob someone instead of going there directly was very simple.
Judging from Wu Ci's memory from the previous round, the original witch's requirements for the successor are just like the heroic spirits' requirements for the spiritualists, or the twelve mysterious spirits and the heavenly masters' requirements for their followers and disciples. If the compatibility is not high enough, it will not pass, and the ruins will self-destruct.
Well, to be on the safe side, the princess who passed the previous round is the best choice.
Moreover, it has been confirmed that the princess is the Queen Mother "Lady Ines" in the real world. Wu Ci is quite curious about how this Queen Mother has lived from the Solomon Empire period to the present day, and he also suspects that this has something to do with the power of witches.
Of course, making money now is just a way planned by Wu Ci. After all, in the last round, the original witch asked him to build a spaceship to send a witch to the sky, breaking the ignorance represented by Sir Silver and proving that humans can ascend to the sky in mortal form.
In the Middle Ages, building a spaceship is a climb up the technology tree. The technical aspects are not difficult for the witches. The main thing is the materials and concealment. In addition to facing the siege of the Templar Church, it also costs a lot of money. If you don't make money now, you will not make money after being exposed.
Wu Ci thought: If I am exposed, the whole world will try to maintain its ignorance and prevent me from climbing the technology tree and making money. I will have no choice but to start a war to make money.
I hope Sir Silver won't interfere, otherwise if he falls out with us, he will probably destroy the Eternal Night Royal Family that should be in charge of the Dark Star in reality, causing drastic changes in the real world.
However... based on the degree of interference in the world by [Xuanlings] like Sui Gu and Ying Yuan Ji Xing Tian Zun during the Qian Dynasty, even if the timeline moves forward a little, a [Xuanling] like Sir Yin should not interfere too much outside the rules, right?
After all, the spiritual energy has been gradually cut off, and there are still many dynasties ahead...
In the Qian Dynasty, which was a little after Solomon's time, Sui Gu had no trace except supporting the royal family and letting the monks of Tentokuji spread the faith. Wu Ci made such a big fuss in the Qian Dynasty, killing emperors several times and even starting an uprising to kill gods, but he never appeared on the scene.
Lian Tianzun was ultimately unable to defeat the possessed "Chu Ci" because of Tianjizi, and had to sacrifice 90 million skilled Tianzun soldiers before Tianzun could take a look after tearing open the sky outside.
With just this one glance, Tianzun destroyed the entire Eastern Continent and almost destroyed the world, and thereby plundered the Heavenly Dao controlled by Sui Gu.
It has come to this point, and even the Sugu cannot intervene to resist, which means that those mysterious spirits have been restricted to the extreme within the world. Unless there is a sacrifice or some unknown loopholes in the rules are triggered, it is impossible for them to come in person.
The first loophole in the rules that was triggered was probably not buying an indulgence? Or was it cheating? Deliberately omitting the sins that one had committed during confession?
Then I'll try to keep a low profile this week and avoid appearing in front of others to avoid attracting the attention of the church and Lord Silver.
In the sunny flower fields, a young girl in a coarse skirt and a headscarf is picking flowers. Her face is tanned and rosy, full of healthy beauty.
She was new here. She straightened her aching back while carrying a woven basket full of fresh flowers. She took a breath and chatted with an older female worker next to her:
"I heard that Baron Tulip is here to visit Mr. Dextal. Should we go and see him secretly? I have never met the nobleman before..."
The female worker who was always very skillful in picking flowers paused and scolded her sharply: "You itchy little whore! Do your job well!"
"Mr. Dextal's good character is no reason for you to play tricks! He saved us in the most dangerous time, gave us food, clothes, shelter, jobs, and forced us to have rest time. You should know how to be grateful!"
The girl with a red face wiped the sweat off her face and smiled, "I know, Sister Via, we were all rescued from the stake by Mr. Dextal or we were sold and strangled to death because our families couldn't make ends meet. Because of Mr. Dextal's kindness, I live a good life here every day! I know that even the nobles can't eat white bread every day like us!
So how could I have any other ideas! Even if I am chased away, I will not leave! I just thought... even the nobles came to pay their respects to Mr. Dextal, will Mr. Dextal show up? I am a little... curious about what he looks like. "
"You know, he rarely appears outside, and when he does, he wears a cloak and a mask... and gloves, with no skin exposed at all." The girl added, "Like, like a ghost!"
The older female worker, Via, didn't say anything, but it was clear that she shared the same opinion.
The little girl with a red face continued in a low voice, "Everyone says that Mr. Dexter might look like a ghost! So ugly that he could scare children to tears. He wears a mask because he is afraid of scaring us! If this is true, then he is such a gentle person!
But his requirements were sometimes very strange. He asked us to take a shower every day, change into clean clothes, pay attention to personal hygiene, not wear corsets, and have someone teach us, the useless inferiors, to read every morning.
He even had requirements for what we ate. He didn't allow us to eat just bread. He insisted that we...what's the word? 'Mixed vegetables and meat'? If it was somewhere else, can you imagine it? There were still vegetables in winter! Those nobles couldn't have eaten them! "
The girl said sincerely, "If he is a ghost, a devil from hell who tempted us to betray Lord Silver, he is also a good devil. I swear I will never report him, but I am a little afraid that the holy emblem of the church on the nobleman will hurt him."
The female worker Via softened her expression, and snorted with a bit of disdain and pride, "Mr. Dextal will not receive a small baron, even if he is a noble! You came late and don't know how powerful Mr. Dextal is! Even the king has sent people to him to solve problems, and now, the perfumes and soaps circulating around the world are all from Mr. Dextal's products!
Nobles and ladies from all over the world cannot meet Mr. Dektor even if they want to! How can he possibly receive a little baron?"
"Is that so? Then I feel relieved. Mr. Dextal is really amazing." The girl looked up at the distance of the flower field with longing and admiration. There was an undivided, endless sea of flowers and a small white building covered with green ivy.
That is Dextal's private residence and no one is allowed to approach.
The two girls continued to work, unaware that their conversation was heard entirely by an uninvited guest in the flower field.
A young man with slightly curly black hair tied up was lying on his back on the roof of the mill behind. He was wearing leather armor and had a long sword on his waist. After listening to their conversation, he stood up and looked at the small white building.
The two girls could never imagine that someone could sneak into this huge private territory which was blocked off from entry and exit because Dextal said it was to ensure the safety of the rescued girls.
There are four wives in the list who have asked me to go to an exhibition in August. They want to form a cosplay group. I don’t know if I have the time to go with them. They are still discussing whether to release Arknights, Edgewalker, Bungo Stray Dogs, Codename Iris, or Lost. Or maybe Lord of Mysteries, Strange Dao, etc. The Starting Point Mental Hospital... Damn it! I really want to go!!! (sigh)
