More than ten days have passed, and Advent is approaching. Families are busy preparing for the holidays. The air is filled with festive spirits.

In the city of Lorma, this is especially strong. Since the promulgation of the "heresy liberation decree", many merchants and scholars have flocked to the city, and it has become one of the most religious freedom areas in the mainland.

The massive investment of the Rohr Chamber of Commerce and the Black Holy Land Chamber of Commerce has revitalized the economy of the small town, and the unique aroma of fruit wine in the small town has been drifting to the colonies far overseas by the east wind of the two chambers of commerce, and in turn conquering the women's wine market on the mainland.

Alcohol is only one aspect, and all sorts of bizarre goods and technological inventions can be displayed here without fear of being considered "heretical", so this small city attracts not only many merchants, but also many skilled alchemists and scholars.

There's also a good thing you don't find anywhere else – apple cores.

This apple core is not a useless thing left over from an apple gnawing, but a super-powerful alchemy machine. As long as you set up the list of items and enter the proportions of various materials, it can help you calculate dozens or even hundreds of thousands of possible results, and then you can further increase the constraints and perform the calculations multiple times to finally arrive at the perfect result in your mind.

It is said that Tuscano Wines, a popular company in Lorma, found the perfect fruit wine recipe in one day with the help of apple cores, thus winning a large investment from the Rohr Chamber of Commerce and eventually becoming another wine giant.

Countless people flocked to it.

Of course, it is also expensive to use: 100,000 tickets, three chances to deduce, and from the fourth onwards, each recreation costs twice as much as the previous one.

Some people hate it so much that it is faster than robbing money! Many more people lined up in long lines with red eyes, hoping to try their luck and get rich overnight.

What if a recipe was found to make gold from base metals like lead and iron?

In front of the Black Holy Land Chamber of Commerce (B•B for short), there is a long queue every day, and tragicomedy is staged. Both the Rolle Roys Chamber of Commerce (R•R) and the Black Sacred Land Chamber of Commerce have a dedicated investment team guarding the door, and once a new technology is verified by deduction, it is immediately evaluated and the contract is signed, so the Chamber of Commerce adds new strength and a new rich man is born.

The city of Lorma has become a processing plant for the mainland's mass manufacturing wealthy, and it is also the city with the highest suicide rate and suicide attempt rate in the mainland. Of course, no one has ever achieved the feat of turning lead into gold.

Later, many people learned to be smart, first knocked on the door of R•R and B•B, asked their team of experts to evaluate, and tried to get the first venture investment, and then tried their luck, and the success rate was significantly higher.

In the end, everyone successfully summed up a set of experiences, and the model of "Scholar/Alchemist + Chamber of Commerce" is the most secure and easy to pass. As a result, the city of Lorma has become more affluent, and the arrival of more and more professionals has made the small town shrouded in the smell of copper more and more academic.

"I finally understand why this bastard Duck is abolishing tithes, shameless, shameless!"

In the Great Chapel of the Fartican, the roar of the Minister of the Holy Doctrine, Luo Anta, could be heard even outside the door.

"100,000 tickets, multiply each operation by two, it doesn't take much, by the tenth time, it will be more than 1 billion! Dak, this bastard, is the biggest tax evasion criminal in the whole continent! This is unfair, unfair!"

Trisson, the dean of the seminary, quit: "Minister Luanta, with a net worth of more than one billion, must be the lord of a country, I have never heard of a monarch who came here with such a large fortune to squander. ”

Paul, the director of the Supreme Court on the side, said lightly: "Duck is indeed profitable, but this person is not stingy, he took out several huge sums of money, some of which were used to renovate the existing roads in Lorma, some became the start-up funds for the new urban settlement project, and the largest amount was used as the renovation cost of the Lorma branch of the seminary - the Lorma branch will be renamed Lorma University." ”

Luanta sneered: "But I heard that the construction fund of Lorma University is sponsored by the Black Holy Land Chamber of Commerce. ”

Dean Trison sneered and said louder, "Not exactly. They wanted to sponsor the full amount, but Duck was adamant, saying that a real university should be a beacon built on the shoulders of the people, not a pet dog wagging its tail in the arms of a wealthy businessman. He insisted that the investment in the tribunal should be 51% of the total investment, or else it would be dissolved. ”

Luanta gritted his teeth.

Duck is Paul's direct subordinate, and the credit for everything he does must be shared on Paul's head, and of course this old mad dog will say good things to him; the expansion of the university will do no harm to the seminary, as long as Trisson is still the dean for a day, the students who come out of the university are all his disciples, what a vast network of resources!

You're a Duck, you're scheming enough. Qualified to be my opponent!

I'm not going to throw in the towel!

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, he got a lot more than he took out!

Archbishop Whitemire leaned forward slightly: "Is there any evidence?"

"Of course there is a lot of want, my people are investigating him!"

Paul sneered: "Coincidentally, my people are also investigating him." For example, he now lives in one of the most imposing mansions in the city of Lorma, which has a great impact on the local area. ”

Luanta puffed up his chest triumphantly, and it was undoubtedly a pleasure to hear his rival admit his own stain.

"He lives in the inquisition. ”

The smile froze on Roanta's face: "Cut...... Inquisition?"

"The Inquisition is the most imposing house in Lorema, and he has spent more than three months since he took office, spending most of the night in the Inquisition. is a high and powerful person, holding the power of life and death in the whole city, but he lives in an office. Minister Luanta, where do you live?"

"That's not the point, the current Lorma City has the saying of the City of Heresy, and this is all brought by him!"

"Have you ever heard of the second sentence, 'There are no heretics in the city of heresy'? As long as you don't modify the human body, it's not a heresy. This view is indeed deviant, but it makes the pious cherish the hard-won atmosphere of peace and freedom even more, and there is no place for true heresy. You can go to Lorma and see the smiles on the faces of the people, which can never be done by fooling, surveillance, intimidation and guillotine!"

Good fellow, Paul the Mad Dog has turned into Paul the Pug, desperately escorting the damn Dark. No one is allowed to say a bad word, no need to ask, it must be to feed Duck.

Damn, if it weren't for Dak's kid being too picky and not giving a big son, what's so difficult for Lao Tzu to be cheeky and say a few good words to you?

The archbishop spoke: "I heard that two major cases were solved in December, one was the evil research of the 'two lives' of the heretical sect, and the other was the case of the heretical Urbino's 'Banshee in the Water Tank', all of which were reported by enthusiastic citizens and could be caught in one net. It seems that although the people of Lorma talk a little more and their brains are a little more active, their hearts are still towards the Holy Religion. ”

The archbishop said so, and the fool knew that now was not the time to bring down Dark. Roanta pursed her lips and fell silent.

Walking out of the Great Sanctuary and looking at the warm winter sun overhead, Luo Anta let out a long sigh.

His clerk ghostly came out of the corner: "My lord, someone from the Kingdom of Dorland has arrived, and there is something important to do. ”

"Doland, who sent it?"

"Someone we don't usually see. ”

"Less verbose, who?"

The clerk looked at the people around him, and said in a low voice, "Urbino, I want to talk to you about a very good deal." ”

Luo Anta smiled: "Is this a credit for me?

"Your Excellency is wise, but the man did bring great news. ”

"What, say it quickly!"

The clerk whispered a few words in his ear, and at the beginning of the rear, Roanta let out a strange cry: "What, Duck is an Arama?"
