the last gentleman

Chapter 422
Yi Chen first returned to the candle puppet store and told the boss about the Duke's olive branch.

The boss was taken aback for a moment, and then his mouth in the center of his face began to laugh wildly, completely taking it as a joke, and even suspected that Yi Chen had some intentions and became wary.

It wasn't until Yi Chen showed the "Seal of Transaction" on the back of his hand that the boss reluctantly believed part of it, and immediately closed the shop and went to the Duke's chamber of commerce together.
There is no need for any process, because it is a roll call in person, the boss only needs to sign a long-term contract, and then he will be branded with another "transaction seal", representing the employees of the chamber of commerce.

this moment,
The boss's eye pupils that have been faded all the year round overflowed with new luster, and the dream of the past with only flames was rekindled. He was granted an independent studio in the chamber of commerce, and was allowed to use the public resources related to candle puppets. Materials, if you can develop a candle puppet that makes the Duke feel interesting, you will also get a higher level of material use authority.

As a thank you, any service related to candle puppets in his store is free for Yi Chen for life.

The boss also offered to replace the best candle puppet in the store, but Yi Chen bluntly refused.

"In my opinion, this is the best one. Boss, please pursue your dreams. I may add some things to this candle puppet in the future, and I will trouble you when the time comes."

The boss also became more curious, "What's wrong with this thing? Why can't I see it myself...it's obviously damaged, and I even used inferior adhesives to repair it, desecrating such a work."

"My eyes are better, and I can see her original appearance. You should put more effort into her than all the high-end candle puppets in your store, and that's enough."

farewell boss,

As a high-quality customer of the Duke, Yi Chen also enjoys free accommodation in the chamber of commerce.
Also guided by employees with golden masks, they are placed in a hotel that fits the human style. The entire hotel has been gilded by the Chamber of Commerce, and even the dim light of the city of lights cannot project it, ensuring personal privacy.

Except for high-quality customers like Yichen, ordinary customers need to pay to stay, starting with [-] ancient coins a day.

In addition, Yi Chen also found a very interesting thing,
Regardless of the staff inside the hotel,
Or the servants wandering the Chamber of Commerce district,

Or some Chamber of Commerce personnel responsible for logistical maintenance and even cleaning all wear the same golden mask,
Although their bodies are different, the aura emitted by the masks is exactly the same.

The room is a first-level suite on the top floor of the hotel, where the lighting and visibility are the best, and you can see the whole business district of the East District at a glance.

After the golden mask briefly explained some precautions, he put his palms on his chest and bowed deeply.

"If you need any help, please feel free to shout the word 'Golden Mask'. I will come to serve you as soon as possible. I hope you can get the best experience during the duration of the chamber of commerce. If there is nothing else, I will not bother you. "

"and many more."

"What's the matter, Mr. William?"

"Excuse me, are all the people wearing golden masks in the chamber of commerce your avatar? What kind of identity do you have in the chamber of commerce?"

"It's not a clone, the people wearing the golden mask are all me...I am the "Left Hand of the Duke", just like I said just now, just call me the golden mask. "

This made Yi Chen curious, and continued to ask: "Is the 'Duke's right hand' a silver mask? "

"You are right, it is the silver mask.

He usually doesn't show up directly, but hides in every corner of the chamber of commerce, observing all the visitors secretly, guessing their motives, and if he finds "criminals" with strange behaviors, he can usually solve them quietly before the accident occurs .

He will only reveal his true identity when there is a real major problem in the chamber of commerce... That guy is dangerous, but you, as a respected high-quality customer, will not be targeted by him. "

"Well, please remind me before the auction starts."

"no problem."

The door is locked, and the rest is Yi Chen's private time.

"This golden mask should at least be a silver frame, as if as long as you put on the golden mask, you will be assimilated into a part of the opponent.

Huh~ With the existence of such a character, I can handle things with peace of mind.Finally, without having to be exposed to glimmering surveillance, let's start enlightening! "

Yi Chen brought two leather chairs and sat opposite the candle puppet.

Between the hollow eye sockets of the candle, because the burning continued, the wax oil would drip down every once in a while, or solidify around the eye sockets, so she would take out a worn-out oil-absorbing cloth to wipe her face regularly every minute.

If the characteristics of "no eyeballs", "exposed cervical vertebrae" and "traces of doll assembly" are excluded, this candle puppet is still very delicate.

click~
As Yi Chen moved his third cervical vertebrae, the "lighting mode" was activated, and a white candle rose above his head.

The enlightenment that will be carried out next is different. The previous enlightenment is to defeat the opponent in the battle to quickly imprint the mind.

This time, the puppet belongs to Yi Chen himself.
What he will carry out is a more detailed and specific "one-to-one" education,
"If my guess is correct, this white candle, which is the core of the puppet's power,

It should be to soak the complete and fresh brain in some kind of special wax oil, soak for a long time and heat at a certain temperature, so that the brain is completely dissolved in it,

Due to the affinity of wax oil to the brain and the disease characteristics of candle puppeteers, the dissolved brain still retains its biological characteristics, functions and conscious subjects.

Finally, such a white candle brain is obtained through a certain "manufacturing" process.

No wonder there are only twenty candle puppet masters in such a huge Lantern City. It is really difficult to control this kind of process perfectly. I guess some candle puppet masters may have used thousands of brains to feed their own technology.

The old world is really interesting..."

Yi Chen, who is insane, was very excited when he saw the essence of this brand new technology.

Ka~ uncovered his skull, and used his fingers to touch the black epileptic brain that was inflamed and itchy due to excitement.

This moment is not only face-to-face, but also a brain-to-brain state.

Yi Chen activates the brain tissue all over the muscles of the body, raising the precision of the body to an unprecedented level. At the same time, he combines the little grapes, opens an eye of ashes between his brows, and fully focuses and locks on the white candle in front of him.

At this moment, he will turn into a carver, and start to carve the epilepsy between the white candles with his sharp index finger.

With the strokes of ancient characters carefully carved on the surface of the white candle,

The candlelight was erratic during this process, and the body of the candle puppet also began to twitch mechanically.

With the last stroke formed,

The impeccable and twisting pitch-black character [epilepsy] was successfully imprinted on the surface of the white candle, like a beautiful brain worm with an independent life, and after a while of twisting, it burrowed into the depths of the white candle.

The candle puppet was disturbed, and the consciousness of the wax seal was reintegrated and restored under the action of the word epilepsy.
A strong thirst for knowledge is also endowed in it,
get up,

Holding the hem of the skirt with both hands,

bow your knees,
"teacher!"

"What's your name."

"Teacher, just call me "Thirteen", is there anything I can do for you? "

"Tune yourself first, tell me which parts of your body are uncomfortable or need to be replaced. Follow me to the auction later, maybe you can find something that suits you."

"Teacher, if you can, can you buy me some books about candle puppets? I want to learn more about myself."

"Okay, after the auction is over, I'll get some copies for you."

"Thank you, teacher."
