Chapter 123: The Next City
"Then what do you think of the dusters, you have such great power." He is kind and does his best to fight for better living conditions for the people.
"Dust people, in this apocalyptic world, they are the lucky group of humans." There is food, even if it is a hard-to-swallow worm cake, there is a safe home, even if there are many rules and regulations.
"Lord of the Castle." Mark couldn't help but take a few steps forward: "I think that in the future, some of the materials can be allocated to the dusters." β
"I can go down to the ground a few more times." Fearing Arthur's refusal, he advises accordingly.
"Nope." At least not now, Arthur said calmly, "The hunters selected and cultivated among the people are extremely precious, each of you is a potential heavy driver, a few more times on the ground, it means that more people will be sacrificed, do you want your companions to pay for your stupidity." β
"That ...... my share of contributions"
"Your contribution point is worthless."
Mark was silent for a while, not giving up, and talked about his experience: "Lord of the City, I have seen a duster who made great achievements and was beaten badly, and I have also seen a duster who wanted to donate his heart transplant to the Shangmin, but was refused. β
His eyes were serious: "Lord City, the three laws of life, are some of the contents too strict and harsh?" β
"Mark! What are you talking about! Senge, who was belated, angrily rebuked: "Lord of the city, please hand over Mark to me to manage!" β
This statement reminded Arthur, and he turned his chair and faced everyone: "The three laws of life are indeed unreasonable, but they also have merit. β
"Hmm......" Arthur mused, "Victor." β
"Lord of the Castle." Victor stepped forward.
"Cooperate with Carrie to check the blood model and body data of everyone on and off the lighthouse, and classify and record them in case of emergency." To break the barrier between the people and the people, we must first flow the blood of the people into the people.
At least that's what Arthur thought.
Victor: "Yes. β
"Abolish the rule that the people cannot accept the blood, body organs, etc. of the mortals. Repeal the Dawn Hall Genetic Selection and Breeding Regulations.
Establishment: All outstanding dust people who are strong and have special skills can be promoted to the upper citizen after being strictly inspected by the mechanical bird. Fair, just and open distribution to all major departments.
The people are not allowed to suppress the new people for various reasons and forms, and they are all treated equally. If a new member encounters injustice, he can complain to Mark. β
"Lord of the Castle." "If the quality population is not replenished and the internal friction continues for a long time, the lighthouse will one day ......"
"In the next time, I will continue to add regulations." Arthur ignored his words and went his own way, making rules according to his innermost thoughts. _o_m
After a long time, everyone left the hall, Arthur turned his head and said to the mechanical bird: "The selection of dust people pays attention to character, and the number of people is controlled at 3-5 people per year. β
Mechanical Bird: "Yes." β
The new regulations were promulgated, and the people were overjoyed, which meant that they had hope for a future. And some of the people were unhappy, and Arthur's behavior touched their interests.
But I didn't dare to speak, I had no choice but to hold it in my heart, and I couldn't get catharsis.
β¦β¦
After a long time, the central command hall could no longer accommodate Zero, and his body broke through the eight-meter limit, meeting the conditions set by humans for Pole Eaters, and becoming a deformed Pole Eater.
"Ahead is the city where the Lord of Light and Shadow appeared." Arthur stopped, looking out at the ruins of the city. Behind him, a humanoid Eater made a puzzled sound.
"Let's go." Arthur landed on his shoulders and took his body, mind and teleportation to the edge of the ruins of the city.
There are also large patches of flesh and earth, and they are in different postures, facing the same direction, kneeling or standing or lying on the ground.
Click!
Zero stomped on a piece of flesh and shook his head a few times, making an unexplained sound at Arthur.
He felt the call, the call of the Flower of Mana.
Arthur nodded: "Go ahead." β
Zero can understand simple commands.
Seeing him leave, Arthur looked around and unexpectedly spotted a humanoid Eater of Extremes that was the same size as Zero.
γ
He sat quietly in front of the tunnel, his left hand holding the protruding body tissue on his chest, and his right hand caressing the flowers and plants on the ground.
"Roar!! Inside the city, the king-level devourer called out to its kind, and Arthur rose to the sky and took the initiative to dodge.
He learned from Bai Yuekui that this meant "paying rent".
One by one, the common Eaters crawled out of their burrows and converged on the Flower of Mana.
They stop in front of the Flower of Mana and use their feeding organs to release their vital essence and provide the Flower of Mana with the energy it needs to evolve.
"Which lucky one will be blessed with these Flowers of Mana." Arthur's gaze shifted.
I saw that each Manna flower stretched out a tentacle, glowing with golden light, and randomly pierced into the body of an Extreme Devourer, burrowing into their spiritual breath seeds, infusing them with energy.
"Zero." Arthur found Zero in front of the Flower of Mana, because he was the largest in the entire rent payment group, so Arthur found him with little effort and easily.
It was his first rent payment, his first close encounter with the Flower of Mana, and anything could happen.
"Strange." Nothing happened, and Zero left unharmed after paying the rent, that is, he was not affected by the Flower of Mana, nor was he affected by the Flower of Mana's dependents.
It's like countless devouring beasts, silently dedicating their own life essence to supply other beasts with evolutionary energy.
β¦β¦
"The next city." Throwing the Spiritual Breath Seed from his right hand, Arthur turned and said. The city behind him has become a city of ice and snow.
White. Prostitution? He wouldn't say yes.
In the time that followed, Arthur and Zero traveled to every city in the Old Earth World, and every place where it seemed that a humanoid Eater existed.
The Lord of Light and Shadow never appeared, and even the super-large Eaters that had appeared had disappeared.
β¦β¦
"Welcome back, my master." The mechanical bird flies into the lighthouse's central command hall.
"How about the lighthouse during my absence."
"All is well." Mechanical bird back.
"Gather the high-level, I have an important event." Arthur sat down on the long-lost city lord's chair and breathed a sigh of relief. @Β·error-free start~~
The mechanical bird's red eyes flashed slightly, and every high-level executive received the notice, put down their work, and rushed at full speed.
"Lord of the Castle!" Senge was the first to enter: "You're finally back. β
"Lord of the Castle." Victor followed: "Welcome back." β
When everyone arrived, Arthur lowered his voice, looked at the people below, and said, "My name is Arthur, and I have an idea that is enough to change your fate. β
"Lord Castle, you can just say it." Senger was the first to echo, and no matter what Arthur said, he absolutely agreed, and this was his way of survival.
"Speak, please." Victor spoke in a calm tone.
