Chapter Twenty-Four: The Experience of Failure
A set of armor, even if it's just a simple four-piece suit consisting of a breastplate, skirt armor, hand armor, and iron boots. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If you start from the selection of ores, it will take three months to build, to say the least. Lu Yuan didn't have that much time to waste, and besides, the price of two horses was not worth the fact that a grandmaster-level blacksmith would do it himself.
The main job he had to do was to select four similar metal parts from the pile of loot.
Then there is a hand-plating of chrome (mainly for the sake of beauty, and at the same time for the primer), then a layer of gold, etching of the article (again for the sake of beauty), and finally a layer of tin on the bread, and a uniform pattern on it, something that looks like an aristocratic article (still for the sake of beauty). Then this set of armor was completed - the electroplating process, which was originally a process in the context of large industry, but it is not difficult in the world of magic - in short, after this way, after Qi lived, the whole armor suddenly became taller!
As for why there is another layer of tin on the outside of the gold-plated surface, the gold-plated is called "high-end atmosphere and grade", and then tin is "low-key luxury with connotation".
Fully gilded to look like an upstart, and generally speaking, unless your identity is a prince in itself, there is no shame in wearing it. And this armor pays attention to pretending to be forced between the invisible, rather than forcing people - as long as you "inadvertently" rub the tin surface (the tin is very soft), you can profoundly show the "luxurious essence" of the armor, and the moment of flipping will definitely blind the audience!
"But you, you, you...... You're scamming! How can you do that?! "I have witnessed the whole process of counterfeiting, and I feel that my whole outlook on life has been recast! How can people be like this?! Where is the most basic trust between people?
"Don't talk nonsense, beware of suing you for slander!" Lu Yuan grimaced, and refuted sternly, "Besides, how can this be called a deception if you are willing to do so?" He carefully placed the four-piece suit in his hand into a velvet box and pushed it to Lukan Valeris, who had also been guarding the side.
Valeris, who finally got the real thing, was smiling so hard at the moment that he couldn't see his face. "Of course, of course, it certainly can't be called a lie! Such a good craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world! How can it be said that it is a lie? Valeris looked so happy that he forgot his surname, and strongly supported Lu Yuan's point of view. His expression didn't look like he was faking, he was really happy!
"Craft, you say?" Alona wondered if there was something wrong with the world she had createdβwhy did she not understand what these two men were saying? "What craft? With that tin skin that will break as soon as you wipe it, who would dare to wear such armor to the battlefield?! Don't look like it's glittering, just a thin layer of gold, maybe not even half a millimeter! It's all iron, you know? The box with the armor is worth more than the armor itself! β
"Hehe~" Valeris shook his head and smiled, looking at Alona like he was looking at a child who had not yet grown up. "Angry Sword-sama is still too blunt...... This armor, it's good on the tin skin and velvet box that will break when you wipe it! Tin gold is soft, easy to break and easy to repair, which is convenient for big people to use to show off. As Lord Lu said, what does it mean to be 'low-key luxury with connotation'? If you don't reveal the connotation, who knows if you are really low-key or really shabby!
That velvet box has the same effect...... The armor in such an expensive box, I said that it is cheap for road goods, can you believe it? The grandmaster is the grandmaster, and he has figured out the minds of those nobles!
As for the gilding, that's the best part! Whoever can afford this suit of armor, will he really pay for a suit of armor with gold? Of course not! But the problem is that many people can afford to build a whole set of gold armor, but how many people can wear such heavy gold armor?! So this armor has the appearance of gold and the weight of normal iron armor, which is the best! As for going to war, such buyers never need to go to war. β
After saying these words triumphantly and at length, Lucan Valeris and Lu Yuan glanced at each other with a sharp heart, quite sympathetic. The idea was correctly conveyed to the other party, and this feeling was so blissful that it made Alona's disgusting hair stand on end
"I see," Alona staggered out as she stood up in a gray color. "Two Imperials meet together...... I think the world is ruined. β
If the customer was a Nord, he would never be able to stand a weapon that was not on the surface. Although most of the Nords are rough and slick, like second-rate people in the Northeast, their tradition is to treat weapons as if they were life; But Lukan Valeris was just an Imperialist living in a Nord village, and he never considered going to war, so business was business.
It's all in plain sight.
Alona turned away disappointed.
It's just that she didn't see it, Lu Yuan kept watching her back, and there was still a little slippery and philistine in her serious expression!
*****
"Seeking truth from facts" and dialectical education is one of the most successful lessons in the history of education, teaching people to ask, "Why?" β
Then the problem will inevitably be expanded, and the scope will not be shifted by the will of a certain department.
Why are people who have no place to stand in the land being asked to defend their homes and the country? Where is your home here? The essence of giving birth to a child and sending him to university is to supplement the labor force for the enterprise and the country. But why do the costs of parenting and education all fall on the individual? Why is it that shameless people can say out loud, "Don't ask what the country has done for you, ask what you have done for the country", and only those who are still shameless are ashamed? Why is it that it is always those who "listen to propaganda" who are unlucky and those who "go the wrong way" who benefit? There are more and more corrupt people because the officials are all bad guys? Or is it because the location is too convenient, I'm embarrassed not to take it......
This world is not so magnificent, and Lu Yuan understands this deeply, so he can't deceive Alona with false goodness - even if his goal is to dissuade Alona from self-destruction.
If Alona self-destructs, then this era will officially end - all worlds associated with the Great Alona, all worlds including the New Galaxy and derivative worlds, will be destroyed! Even if little Alona is rebuilt in the future, it will be a matter of the next era......
Therefore, this is not a trivial matter, but a major matter related to the life and death of countless people and countless worlds!
But the more this is the case, the more Lu Yuan can't use "trickery" to achieve his goal. Because trickery is time-limited, but the Lord God is eternal. No matter how true the lie is, there will be a day when it will be exposed. As for convincing Alona, the world is still beautiful...... Don't talk about lying to Alona, in fact, even Lu Yuan himself often asks - what is the point of me doing these things? What do these people have to be saved?
Even he has self-doubts, how can he convince others?
Having said that, Alona's move towards self-destruction is not necessarily not a problem of the world. The relationship between the Lord God and the world she created is one and two, two and one. She influences the world and is influenced by the world at the same time. As bad as the world is, she is as depressed as she is. Alona is not a child, she will no longer be fooled by words such as "there are still many good people in this world", "money can't buy love", "foreign hearts don't die, everything is the fault of crooked nuts".
Even, these things, Alona who has looked at history may know better than Lu Yuan.
For example, for Lu Yuan's practices in the Shushan world and the Harry Potter world, Alona's evaluation is "It is a way to find a scapegoat to bear everyone's sins." β
Lu Yuan's handling of these two worlds can be described as quite simple and rude, if the immortals disturb the heavens, then the immortals will be knocked to the dust; The magician consumes the energy of the soul of a human after death, so cut off this energy. In short, the main purpose is to pull the supernatural power to a level that ordinary people can confront and achieve simple fairness, rather than the complete crushing of one side against the other.
And Alona's point of attack is, "If you go deeper into this logic, then all people are born tall and short, beautiful and ugly, tall and handsome can naturally get more favor, do you want to make everyone exactly the same at the genetic level; Some people are the second generation of wealth, the second generation of officials, and the second generation of actors, with rich money and connections, and they are born to win at the finish line. Do you want all newborns to be born in a centralized manner, and then distribute the family in a disorderly order to achieve fairness? Doesn't it feel ridiculous? β
β¦β¦
In short, the two of them never stopped along the way, and in the end, the cows annoyed them. But there were constant quarrels and arguments, but in the end, no one could convince anyone.
The fundamental reason why Lu Yuan had to let Alona accompany him to experience life was that since he couldn't convince Alona, he could only hope that she could convince herself. After all, so many people are still alive and well, and there must be a reason why they didn't die. What if Alona finds it?
It was with this thought in mind that Lu Yuan couldn't stop his travels.
But how can things be as good as they should be......
The "hulala" wind suddenly blew without warning! Blowing the town to the ground, the houses creaking.
The sudden wind and the overcast sky made Valeris hold on to the armor he had built and hurriedly leave. The guests who were originally drinking in the inn also ran home one by one in a hurry, collecting clothes, furs, and firewood...... In short, the sudden storm caused chaos in the town, but the Giant's Sleep Inn was eerily quiet.
Lu Yuan's eyes looked in the direction of the roof, sighed, and finally climbed up the stairs to the roof of the inn step by step.
Sure enough, Alona was the only one standing on the edge of the roof, looking out at the cloudy sky.
The storm was spinning around her.
"You're leaving?" Lu Yuan said.
Alona didn't nod or shake her head, she just forgot about Lu Yuan and glanced at it, so she flew towards the sky with all her might.
Her figure disappeared into the dark clouds, and two huge black bats spread out behind her, covering the entire sky! A voice, like a rumbling thunder, poured down from the skyβ
"I am the beginning, I am the end! I created all things, and all things will perish because of me! I'm Akatosh, I'm ...... Alduin! β
ββββ
PS: Akatosh, the dragon of time, the main god of the nine Holy Spirits of creation; Alduin, the dragon of the end, the devourer of worlds, the doppelganger of Akatosh.
