Chapter 156: The Catastrophe of Colorful Town

"This hard, sparkling yellow diamond represents the element of gold. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This green oily, emerald with a clear and emerald essence represents the wood element. This blue corundum, which has a cyan sheen and smooth throughout, represents the water element.

This pure, flame-based crimson crystal represents the element of fire. This agate, which is smooth and luxurious on the surface and dark pure gold on the inside, represents the earth element. The man in black pointed one after another, and the five rare gems set on the token were described one by one.

"These seem to be rare gems in the world. Can you show me the token?" Crotty saw this, and reached out with interested hands. The man in black slowly placed the gold token in her palm.

The elven female swordsman carefully held the token in front of her eyes with both hands, and looked at it carefully, feeling that this token must be made of pure gold, holding it in her finger and full of weight. I saw that in the small area on the token, there were several gorgeous patterns with different structures and shapes.

Each of the five dazzling gemstones is of the same shape and size, each in the shape of a smooth petal, set in a token and arranged around the core to form a brilliant multicolored flower pattern. -- The emblem and logo pattern of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce.

"Miss. This token is yours. Seeing that Crotty was holding the golden token in his hand, he did not look away for a long time, and the man in black began to drive the carriage again, without looking back.

"What?" Crotty asked, looking up at the back of the man in black.

"The master has already instructed me to find an opportunity to hand over the token to you. This way, it will be easier for you to do things in the future. The man in black continued to steer the carriage without looking back.

"What about you? I took your token. What will you use in the future?" Crotty asked, confused.

"That piece is yours. Mine is still in hand. The man in black smiled slightly, put his hand in his pocket, took out another gold token, and showed it to Crotty without looking back. I saw that the token he showed in his hand was not any different from the one handed to the elven female swordsman, and the texture and size of the five gems set in it were almost identical.

"Who the hell is Tuckers, and why do you have so many of these things?" Crotty saw this, and began to wonder and question the current situation.

"No need to be surprised. The master is determined to end the wars in this world and eliminate a careerist like Memphis, who has a large army and huge financial resources, and is by no means an ordinary king.

If we don't make more preparations, build more connections, make more money, and hire more helpers, can we resist the army of careerists with the strength of you, me, and the master?" the man in black deliberately raised his voice, and asked in a somewhat emotional defense.

"So, the relationship between Tux and the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce is not usually close?" Crotty tried to guess.

"Now that you've asked. As my own person, there is no need for me to hide it. The owner is the founder of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, and the purpose of creating the Chamber of Commerce is to promote the world's economic and trade exchanges. According to the master's words, it is called economic development.

The continuous flow of money and materials, and the close integration of manufacturing industry and trade and sales, have led to deep changes in society. Yes and only in this way, when we have put an end to all wars, will the world not once again recycle the previous history and usher in a new era. The man in black answered confidently.

"Also to make money?" Although Crotty didn't understand the meaning of many of the nouns said by the man in black, he couldn't help but jokingly continue to ask when he saw the other party's serious attitude.

"Financial support is of course essential. Nothing can be done without money. This colorful town has grown from a small village to the scale it is today.

-- The aristocrats opened factories in their domains, mined ores, established farms, and turned the common people under their rule into hired laborers or farmers to produce goods, which were then trafficked around the world through the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, which greatly enriched the market, and then there was prosperity everywhere.

The self-sufficient mode of supply was shattered, and the market was enriched, so that previously scarce goods were now available everywhere. In this way, everything in the world can be greatly improved, people's needs can be satisfied, and the causes of war due to lack of materials can be eliminated. The man in black continued to interpret with confidence.

"But how much good does this do to the world? Is material abundance enough to make up for spiritual emptiness? When the nobles and lords have money, everyone is satisfied? Is there really that much value in luxury goods that the poor cannot afford to buy?" Crotty still didn't quite understand what the man in black meant.

"The benefits are certainly obvious. Economic development will only make all people richer and richer, and the world will become better and better; material abundance will only bring common prosperity to society, and poverty and disease will be completely eliminated and will no longer exist. These are the exact words that the host told me. I firmly believe in that. The man in black spoke unusually firmly.

"I only know that if the world continues in such a vicious circle, there is absolutely no help. I want to believe Tuckers too. I hope you didn't lie to me. Crotty pondered for a moment, noncommittal to the man in black's claim.

"Miss. Why should I lie to you? Let us, together with our master, usher in a new era of this fallen world. The man in black said, pulling the reins from his hand again.

So, the man in black drove the carriage around the streets of the town several times, and then drove to the post house and stopped the carriage.

"Welcome to Colorful Town. My distinguished sir, my distinguished lady's guest. Seeing this, a middle-aged man in a neat suit hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the two people in the carriage.

"Who are you?" asked the man in black.

"I'm the head of this inn. The mayor has arranged the best rooms for the two distinguished guests. Two of you, please. The middle-aged man continued to bow respectfully, stretched out both arms, and made a "this way, please" motion.

So, the man in black and Crotty jumped out of the carriage one after another, followed the person in charge of the inn for some distance, and stepped into a lavishly decorated and palatial hotel.

"This is the largest and most luxurious hotel in town. The mayor prepared one of the best luxury suites for the two of them. The person in charge of the post station opened his mouth to introduce.

"Hey. It shouldn't be one, it's two, right?" Crotty immediately questioned.

"Aren't the two of you..."After hearing this, the person in charge couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him...

"We only needed one room. The man in black raised his right hand and made a gesture at Crotty without further words. So after taking the house key from the waiter, Crotty followed the man in black to the third floor with suspicion, and entered the luxurious suite specially furnished for the two of them.

"Miss. Please take a break. I'll go out. As soon as he entered, the man in black walked up to the window of the luxurious suite and told Crotty.

"What!?, where are you going?" Crotty suddenly became even more puzzled, and asked more and more confused.

"You don't know yet. I never sleep in my room. The man in black said as he reached out and opened the window of the room.

"And where do you sleep all night?" Crotty asked loudly.

"In a tree, or in a long wooden box. After speaking, the man in black jumped out of the window on the third floor and disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, in the room of another building opposite this hotel, several guys in brown and black mage robes were gathering by the window.

"The masked, black-clad bodyguard jumped out of the window. One of them, holding a pair of binoculars, was peeping into Crotty's room across from him, informing his accomplices.

"We need to let Master Su know that even without Lord Murdok's leadership, we can get things done. Let's get moving!" one of the guys, who looked like the leader, immediately ordered.

"I've long seen that those arrogant and domineering rich people here are unhappy, and today I want to let them know that money can't save their lives!" one of the guys replied angrily when he heard this.

"When I saw the nobles, merchants, and celebrities here spending so much money, they simply drove the poor like lowly slaves and criminals, and I was reminded of the miserable state of poverty in my hometown. Let them taste what it is like to be miserable today. Heh... "Another guy's face is distorted, excited, and perverted.

"Don't forget in the end, take advantage of the chaos and go. Who called the people here so rich, stop talking nonsense, and get started immediately!" concluded the leader-looking guy.

At dusk, the setting sun pierces through the clouds and spreads over the town's buildings, orange and red like autumn maple leaves, and golden ears of rice spread to the earth.

Knock, knock, knock, and Krotty, who was resting on the bed with his clothes, heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Crotty asked, getting up.

"I'm a waiter. Miss, dinner is here. A woman's voice rang out outside the door.

"Please come in. Crotty then opened the door.

I saw a middle-aged woman in a waiter's uniform, pushing a wooden food cart full of food, walked in. As soon as she entered Crotty's room, her eyes wandered around, and she frowned slightly, the expression on her face that did not look normal.

"I'm not hungry yet. Please push it back. Seeing that the middle-aged woman's expression was not quite right, Crotty immediately changed her words.

"Are you afraid that the food in our hotel is poisonous? I swear to God, there is absolutely no problem with this food. After speaking, the middle-aged woman opened the cover, cut a small piece of each food with the waiter's special utensils, and tasted it herself.

"It is useless for you to eat in front of me. Please push it back. Crotty's suspicions were not dispelled. Because, she has the experience of being deceived by Merdoc.

"If you don't eat. I'm going to lose this job. I am an old man, a young man, four elderly people over 60 years old, and seven minor children who need to be supported and cared for. Please, it's okay..."When the middle-aged woman heard this, she actually lay in Crotty's room, and began to plead, make family things, tell reasons, and talk nonsense...

The middle-aged woman saw that Crotty was dressed in ordinary clothes, and she actually lived in the most luxurious room of the hotel with a masked killer-like person. Moreover, she did not see the masked killer go out, but she did not see the man in black in any room, so she was surprised and made some unnatural actions. And this unnatural behavior aroused Crotty's alarm.

As a result, Crotty was so annoyed by the waiter that she opened the door and walked out.

"Steward. The waiter who delivered the food was actually in my room and didn't leave. As soon as Crotty walked down the stairs, he shouted to the lobby manager, who was standing in the middle of the hotel lobby.

"I'm so sorry. When the lobby manager heard this, he immediately apologized respectfully.

"Betty, get me upstairs and get the salad down!" shouted to the lobby manager, who was standing not far away, as he turned his head.

"Miss. Do you want me to send another person to bring you dinner?" the lobby manager turned around, put his palms together and squeezed them together, and asked Crotty with a smile on his face, bowing his waist, and respectfully.

"No need. I'll eat right here. Crotty replied.

"Okay. Please sit down over there, in a chair next to the empty table, and wait a moment. The lobby manager continued to bend down, reaching out to an empty spot not far away.

"Serve quickly. Don't keep guests waiting. Seeing that Crotty was sitting at the table, the lobby manager turned around and shouted.

So, in this way, the female swordsman of the elf clan feasted an unusually luxurious feast in the lobby of the hotel. Suddenly, she felt like she had fallen into Murdok's hypnotic powder again, and her vision blurred. I saw that in the hotel, a white phosgene gushed out from everyone's back, and they began to look blankly ahead.
