Chapter 137: On the Fall of the Lighthouse

After the expulsion, Lu Yao shifted his focus to Yancheng.

Fellers said the change was so great that it was now a slave trader who controlled the city.

Lu Yao overlooked the city.

A series of reminders immediately popped up in the simulator.

[Shiohisa founded the Ascetic Society.] 】

[Shoji created the City Council.] 】

[Yancheng invented slavery. 】

[Yancheng invented the tax system. 】

[Because of slavery in Yancheng, everyone's attacks have been slightly improved, and their defenses have been slightly weakened. 】

[Duolun Nunu wrote the first history book "The History of the Changes of Yancheng". 】

[Dorununu invented the science of history.] 】

[All of them learned to use history.] 】

……

For this series of changes, Lu Yao observed them one by one.

The first is the asceticism.

Shiojiu. This masochistic ascetic who liked to be whipped by the gods left a deep impression on Lu Yao.

Lu Yao didn't find anyone left and right, and the mouse tried to click on Yan Jiu's reminder, and the perspective immediately jumped to a stone house.

It turns out that the reminder bar also has its own positioning function.

The stone house is located in the mountains between Yaocheng and Yancheng, and its appearance is very unremarkable.

Lu Yao double-clicked on the stone house and entered the house to look down.

There were more than a dozen people kneeling inside.

They were uniformly dressed: they were all topless, with shaved hair and garlic skewers around their necks.

The first one is Shioku.

He is now 63 years old, but he is in good health and has no ghost symbol on his head.

……

【Salt LV14】Shiojiu

Health: 197/197

Mana: 47/47

【Longevity】

It has a long lifespan.

【Great Elder of the Ascetic Society】

As the Great Elder of the Ascetic Society, he has a high reputation.

【Evade Lv2】

Can dodge damage from some attacks. This probability is higher than that of one's own weak life.

【History】

At the age of 37, he founded an ascetic society and completed his second pilgrimage.

At the age of 45, he was attacked by a monster at sea, lost his left arm, and completed his third pilgrimage.

At the age of 51, he lost his left eye and realized [Avoidance] in the miracle site.

At the age of 53, he completed his fourth pilgrimage.

At the age of 61, he completed his fifth pilgrimage.

……

Lu Yao looked a little embarrassed.

Shiojiu's life experience is quite tortuous.

He was born with [longevity] and was gifted, but later became a believer in the white god due to shipwreck. After failing to spread the faith in the name of heresy, Shioku became a traitor that everyone shouted at. In the end, he resisted the pressure and came to the temple to confess.

Lu Yao didn't give him a chance.

Shioku became an ascetic and martyr again.

He founded an ascetic society and continued to make pilgrimages for many years. In this long and unresponsive process, Shiohisa's body began to cripple, but he also comprehended [evasion].

With a human body, the acquired possession of extraordinary power, Yan Jiu is the first person among Lu Yao's disciples.

A prompt pops up on the screen.

- Great god, there is a believer who has performed feats far beyond his peers, do you need to transform him into a hero?

[Yes] [No]

Lu Yao clicked on the temple and found that there were no new characters inside.

Back at the stone house, there was a glimmer of light above Shioku's head.

In other words, you don't need to be in a temple to transform heroes now. It seems to be a fine-tuning of the world version update as well.

Lu Yao clicked [No] again.

In order to make the most of the ascetic ability, let Shiohisa, the forerunner, continue to practice...... By all means next time!

The symbol of pain appears again on the top of Shiohisa's head.

It then transforms into a happy emoji.

Under the refusal and contempt of the gods, Shioku's level was suddenly raised to LV15.

He knelt on the ground and pressed his head to the ground: "Lord God, your faithful servant senses your boundless will, and I will continue my penance journey until the end of my old body......"

Exclamation marks lit up above the heads of the other ascetics, and they fell to their knees.

Yan Jiu's experience made Lu Yao sure that ordinary villains could grow from the path of [Ascetic] to transcendent individuals.

Lu Yao also discovered a completely new point: history.

He clicked on another ascetic next to him.

In this villain's panel, there is indeed a [History] column.

……

At the age of 15, stealing was cut off with five fingers off on his left hand.

At the age of 16, he lost his hearing while capturing slaves.

At the age of 18, he joined the ascetic society.

……

Lu Yao looked at the ascetics around him one by one.

……

At the age of 24, he became a pirate and ran away while fighting slave traders.

At the age of 27, he joined the ascetic society.

……

At the age of 31, he was poisoned and was rescued by Shiohisa.

At the age of 32, he joined the ascetic society.

……

At the age of 22, he was captured by slave traders and became a slave.

At the age of 29, he killed the slave owner and fled.

At the age of 33, he joined the ascetic society.

……

Lu Yao understood.

Everyone has learned to use history, giving them more history in their personal panels.

The current starting point of personal history is when [historiography] was invented, and the content is relatively simple, and only major personal events will be described and recorded.

This is the same as the tribal villain's invention of words, which gave the entire game interface a variety of detailed resource data.

The progress of civilization is not only beneficial to the development of the pixel villain itself, but also brings convenience and intuitiveness to Lu Yao behind the scenes.

……

Lu Yao clicked [City Council] in the reminder.

The perspective jumps to Yancheng.

The council hall is behind the library, and the building is in the shape of a ring, like an ale theater two sizes smaller.

At this time, the town council was very lively.

One by one, the deputies of the Assembly sat in the circular terraced seats, looking at the speakers in the circular center of the hall.

A dialog box pops above the head of a small figure.

“…… Yancheng is now under tremendous pressure from the outside. To strengthen the city, a taller and more complete wall is needed to protect the entire city, and the port is also an important part. ”

"Once a cohesive wall is built, neither monsters nor pirates will be able to break through it in a short period of time. In this way, the property and safety of all can be protected. ”

"Yancheng needs more and higher walls! A lot of taxes have to be spent on building walls! ”

The parliament was indifferent to this.

The villain stepped down and left.

Another man walked up to the center of the hall, a scholar in a black coat.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Council, the Copper Sea is leading pirates to threaten the entire city."

"Let me say bluntly, if Yancheng wants to change the situation, it must ban the slavery system!"

"We all know that the slave market is getting out of control these days," he said. Not only the previously hostile savages, islanders, and uncivilized natives, but also some foreign citizens who had already moved to Yancheng were also captured as slaves......"

"The situation has reached the point where it can't be done!"

"The number of pirates is increasing, not because they are getting stronger and stronger, but because more and more slaves, people who are worried about becoming slaves, have joined them."

His words were answered by Parliament.

"The slave market is a trade issue, and we will further regulate the trade in the future."

"A pirate is a pirate, a criminal and a robber, don't confuse piracy with business!"

"Without slaves, the population and prosperity of the city it is today would not have been forgotten."

Scholars can only leave.

A few more people made various suggestions, but did not receive any effective feedback.

Lu Yao was not surprised.

Yancheng was now in the hands of slave traders and the Salt Clan, whose main source of wealth was the slave trade, and it was impossible to cut off their own interests.

All he had to do was give orders to the apostles, and slavery would disappear from the city. However, Lu Yao was not in a hurry, he still hoped that the villains would work hard within themselves to end this barbaric system.

Lu Yao noticed the port northwest of Yancheng.

There were two groups of people fighting each other.

One side was a pirate, the other was a slave trader. The fighting between the two sides was fierce, and people kept falling.

To be precise, it was the pirates and the slaves of the merchants who fought.

However, the slaves were apparently not very willing to fight, although they were much more numerous. But after the pirates cut down a dozen people, they scattered and fled.

The merchants had long since seen that the situation was not good and fled.

The pirates who occupied the port began to light fires everywhere.

The port, which had been built by many laborers in the past, was now enveloped in flames and destroyed in the red light.

Lu Yao remembered that there was originally a lighthouse here, which was the pride and symbol of Yancheng.

It's not tall, but when lit, it can give direction to distant ships.

Now all that remains is ruins.
