Bang dang!

The heavy clamming of the prison door entered the cell through the ceiling, and the clear vibration caused the chandelier to shake a few times.

“......”

Celia looked up in a daze, glanced at the faint flickering yellow light, then lowered her head again, stretched her body trapped in her restraints a few times, and then, squirming like a clumsy silkworm baby, curled up in the corner, and then leaned her back against the wall in weariness.

She had been imprisoned here since the fall of the Elven Realm, and it had been two months now.

During this period of captivity, the elven girl could only stay in a cage no more than five meters long and wide, like a walking corpse, living a life that did not see the light of day. Even the freedom to move hands and feet is denied, from three meals a day to washing and sleeping is all in charge of a stout healthy woman, and the only place in the whole body that can do activities is the head.

However, this kind of torture is nothing to Celia, and her heart has long since sunk into the ruins of the Gran Forest with the fall of the elven realm. Now she has almost given up thinking, because as long as she thinks, her mind is like a pond that has been stirred, and gray and black negative information keeps pouring out.

The future of the elves, their fate, and even the whereabouts of the prisoners of war have been deliberately avoided and ignored by her.

When-when-when——!

The sound of the iron isolation door gradually opening layer by layer came from far and near, and the iron door of the outer passage of the cell also resounded with the sound of a winch turning, and after a few seconds, it opened inward with a clatter.

Bright sunlight poured into the room like a beautiful carpet of gold thread, spreading from the bright entrance to the elven girl, and her eyes, which had not been seen for a long time, tingled, and there was only a hazy glare in her field of vision, and she could not see anything clearly.

"Am I going to be shipped too?"

Celia closed her eyes and slowly adjusted to the long-lost light, but the thought crossed her mind.

The guy who came in was definitely not the one who delivered the food and washed himself, because they all took the inner passage, and this person obviously took the outer passage. In this case, it is a slave trader who inspects the goods, or a high-ranking official of the Peruvian Empire, or a prison administrator.

The elf girl knows very well that this kind of person will definitely not care about herself for no reason, and her appearance often means that her future life will change somewhat.

"Whatever, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be. ”

Thinking of this, Celia barely kept her eyes open, her rose-colored pupils constricted, and then cast herself at a figure coming from the light.

Just as the elven girl tried to blink her eyes, trying to see the other person's face, the man had already walked in front of her, blocking the glare of sunlight that sprinkled into the cage:

"First meeting, Miss Celia, my name is Karenz. ”

“......”

Celia narrowed her eyes and raised her face, and the other party's appearance was gradually reflected in her vision, and her rose-colored eyes immediately revealed a little indifference and confusion.

"Don't worry, I'm not an enemy, I'm here to take you away. ”

Looking at the haggard elf girl, Karenz turned her body sideways and gestured to the jaw of the accompanying prison administrator.

The administrator nodded, immediately took out the special key, walked forward quickly, and opened the cage door. Karenz followed him into the cage and watched as the Administrator pulled out a large set of keys and untied the elven girls one by one.

Looking at Celia, who was in contact with restraint and regained her free body, Karenz looked at the back of the manager and said lightly: "Just leave her to me, there is not much time left for us...... You go about the rest. ”

......

With that, Kalenz stood up against Celia and left the prison as fast as she could.

Before she could figure out what was going on, the elven girl felt like she was moving at high speed, surrounded by the sound of a fierce fight, and it was only when she was stuffed into a beautifully furnished carriage that she heard a violent explosion coming from a distance, and she came to her senses.

"What's going on? where am I?" asked Celia, sitting on the soft collapse of the carriage, stunned.

“......”

Karenz glanced at her, then closed the curtains of the window, and the harsh sunlight dimmed, leaving only a soft glow that flickered slightly.

"You're on your way out of the Arad continent. He said calmly.

"Leaving the Arad Continent? Why?" the elf girl gently moved her sore wrist, only to feel that all this in front of her felt unreal, almost like a dream.

"Because I bribed everyone in the prison and planned a prison riot, and the loud noise you heard just now was the sound of the prison being swallowed up by an explosion. But paper can't contain fire after all, it won't take long for the Perris Empire to find out the truth, and if you want to get rid of the Imperial Army's search, you can only leave the temporary Arad continent. Karenz explained patiently.

"Who are you, why are you helping me?" Celia hugged herself protectively, then curled up nervously, her rosy eyes staring straight at him.

"Because I sympathize with the elves, my lord is willing to be kind to the elves. ”

Karenz did not avoid her scrutinizing gaze, pressed his left hand to his chest, and his voice revealed an explosive power: "I haven't introduced myself yet, I am the Duke of Kalenz of Hebolen, the guardian knight of the Machine Empire, and the administrator appointed by the Far Eastern Alliance to be in charge of the Arad region. If you don't mind, you can just call me by my first name, and I'd love to be pure friends with you. ”

"Hyperion Star...... In that case, your lord is the maker?" Hearing his words, Celia's slightly flustered gaze gradually calmed down.

In her memory, the monarch of light and darkness, though very far away from herself, was a fairly moderate ruler who helped weak countries get ahead. Such a person saved himself, and he should not ask too much.

"I am a loyal servant of His Majesty Evan, planning the rescue of the elves, and acting on his orders. Karenz bowed slightly, confirming the other party's guess.

"Wait, you just said ...... Your lord asks for the elves to be rescued!?" the elven girl's eyes suddenly brightened, glowing with hope.

"Yes, I did do my best! I spent a lot of money, first buying 200,000 prisoners of war from the front-line soldiers, and then ransomed 100,000 prisoners of war from the Perus Empire through the diplomats of the Far Eastern Alliance. I can't do anything about the rest of them, because they have already been divided between the elites of the Perus Empire and the Kashny Federation...... I'm sorry. Kalenz said apologetically.

"No, no, no, thank you so much! I really don't know how to thank you!"

At this moment, Celia, who still looked sick before, instantly became full of vitality, and even her silver-gray hair looked shiny, and she looked at Karenz with tears of gratitude, and said very firmly:

"I will definitely pay back the money! We will repay all the expenses you spent on rescuing the elves. ”

"Miss Celia...... Money is an easy thing to solve. ”

Karenz shook his head, looked at the excited elven girl, and explained meaningfully: "If the elves are part of the Menes Empire, then all the expenses for rescuing them are necessary financial expenses, aren't they?"

"You mean...... The elves must become the subjects of the Sun King?no problem!" Celia did not hesitate and immediately agreed: "The elves can continue the bloodline, all rely on the gifts of the maker, and they will live in the land of the empire in the future, of course they are willing to become the subjects of the Sun King." ”

"You have to think clearly, to become a child of the Sun King, you must be educated by the Menes Empire and fully integrated into the Menes civilization...... Do you really want to?", Karenz asked again, out of caution.

As members of the Empire, it is within our duty for the elves to receive an education from the Empire and change their culture, and we will not resent our benefactors for this. Celia replied without hesitation.

"Good!very good!"

Karenz nodded her head as she listened, and the smile on her face became brighter, "That's why the Sun King is willing to take care of you. ”

One-one-one-one-one-one

Primordial planet, exemplary training base.

In the early morning, the golden sunlight shone down the window on the second floor of the dormitory, and the elf girl ripped open the curtain and stood by the window, her posture standing upright towards the red flag in the distance, and the light parted along the curve of her body, leaving a beautiful shadow on the wall behind her.

“......”

Celia looked at the red flag with a solemn expression, until her eyes were a little overwhelmed, and then she turned around and walked to the desk, carrying the schoolbag she had sorted out last night.

Hanging her bag over her shoulder, the elf girl walked out of the dormitory and trotted towards the classroom.

She had been living on this land for three months from the day she escaped from the prison of the Perus Empire and arrived on the primordial planet.

During these three months, Celia has been exposed to many new things, and she has been receiving education from the Empire.

In this land where 300,000 elves are now inhabited, there are many elves like her, absorbing knowledge every day like the sea, and exploring the root cause of the destruction of the elven kingdom.

By now, they have almost understood the reason for the fall of the elven race and the demise of the elven kingdom -- in the final analysis, it is the lack of scientific guiding ideology! To be precise, the lack of advanced sociological ideas.

It is precisely because of the absence of an advanced sociological thought that the consciousness level of the elven race as a whole is full of all kinds of disease-free moaning and outdated dogmas, which leads to the lack of specific goals of the whole race, produces collective confusion, and then chooses to escape like an ostrich, and finally degenerates more and more in comfort.

Knowing this, the elves began to realize that their race was in dire need of a powerful mental weapon to arm themselves.

Next, they began to study the socialist currents of thought on the primordial planets.

After all, in the eyes of the elves, the Menes Empire is a typical example of how to change from weak to strong, and their sociological ideas should be of reference significance.

As a result, as soon as they were studied, the elves went crazy and couldn't extricate themselves.

Because the idea of socialism is completely in line with their highest vision of the elven kingdom! They advocate that the whole society should be taken as a whole, and that the society's products, capital, land, assets, etc., should be owned and controlled by the society, and that its management and distribution should be based on the public interest, which is simply the ideal country of the elves.

More importantly, the socialist ideas of the Menes Empire were not utopian, they had now transitioned from theory to practice, bursting with vitality on the primordial planet.

You can use it directly!

Where could the elves, who had just suffered the pain of the death of their country, resist this temptation and joined the vanguard of socialist scientific practice one after another—they became glorious party members.

Celia also submitted an application to join the party a few days ago, and is currently anxiously waiting for instructions.

......

In the classroom, the energetic human teacher stood in front of the blackboard with a textbook in his hand, and taught to the elves:

"In our society, consumers are inherently vulnerable and often suffer from hidden exploitation by merchants. Can you use online games as an example to talk about the inequality of consumers?"

"Teacher, me!" the elf girl raised her hand.

"Okay, Celia, please stand. The teacher nodded.

"Thank you, teacher, the first example I gave was the rapid depreciation of the product!"

Celia stood up, her face tightened, and said with a serious face: "There are many game merchants now, all of whom like to sell annual packages in the game, and the attributes of annual packages are usually very good, and players must buy gift packs if they want to play happily." And some particularly unscrupulous merchants, when selling the annual package, will deliberately design this year's annual package to be better than last year's. As a result, OCD players who want to play the game must update their annual packs every year...... It's a shame to do that!"

"That's a good point!" said the teacher, smiling with satisfaction.

"If the annual package can't be sold, in order to complete the performance, the game operation will also strengthen the monster's HP defense! Forcibly increase the difficulty of the dungeon and force players to charge more money! This is simply not a human thing!" The elf girl was filled with righteous indignation.

"It's not a human thing!" the teacher nodded repeatedly.

"The second example I gave was the rarity of special items, which artificially increased the cost of crafting for players. ”

Celia raised her small eyebrows, her pointed ears flushed slightly with anger, and said with a look of disgust:

"Some game merchants, when designing equipment, will design equipment as inlayable items in order to give players more things to do. In order to enhance the attributes, the player has to put things like badge gems on them, but the game itself does not provide badges. To earn badges, players will have to break down expensive Marketplace items or purchase bundles that are bundled by merchants...... It's a money grab!"

"Grab the money, grab the money!" the teacher agreed.

"The third example I gave is the lottery! I don't think there should be such a mechanism as a lottery in online games, which clearly plays with consumers!"

The elf girl pressed her hands on her chest and said with a sad face:

"Although there is now legislation that clearly stipulates that online games are not allowed to sell products with lottery mechanisms, some unscrupulous merchants will take advantage of loopholes! They will find a cute girl as a spokesperson, and then design the girl's love letter as a commodity to buy and sell. Buying love letters and giving lottery tickets is ostensibly selling love letters, but in fact, consumers are going for lottery tickets...... But since the lottery ticket is just a gift of love letters, it is not illegal for the merchant!

"No conscience, really no conscience!" the teacher thought.
