Goddess Wanhua Mirror

He first found Jed and told him directly that he decided to take over the management of the fraternity. If he didn't want to wait to play "cordless bungee jumping", then at the regular meeting two days later, he must support "Necromancer Dick" to become the fraternity's leader. new president.In return, he will help him break the curse of disfigurement on his face, and at the same time give him the position of vice president.

Xueli and Marcy were also threatened. The former was very aware of current affairs, while the latter, after confirming that he was indeed unable to beat the unpredictable man in front of him, proposed a question to Lude that made him feel somewhat surprised. Unexpected conditions.This half-orc mercenary captain actually wanted to take his mercenary group out of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand.

Marcy told Lu De that he actually wanted to "go ashore" very early.Back then, he was a slave gladiator on the side of the empire, and fled to the side of the kingdom, where he was taken in by the old president, who helped him form the evil beast mercenary group.In a sense, they are equivalent to the Guardian Knights of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, but with the name of a mercenary group.

But Marcy is an aspiring fighter, and he is not willing to be a gangster for a lifetime. It just so happens that Duke Crude appreciates his skills, and he often throws olive branches to him, signaling him to come to him, if he is not afraid of the old president. In terms of strength, he has long since joined another court.

So after learning that the old president had been killed, and that the man in front of him planned to take over the Brotherhood of the Black Hand and reorganize the organization, completely cutting off the evil spirits business, Marcy tentatively put forward his own conditions.

After thinking about it, Lu De agreed, and it was considered a peaceful breakup.

Regarding the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, Lu De did not intend to completely eliminate this organization, but hoped to "whitewash" it.

After all, the social environment of Yanwood City is such that the local bureaucratic system with feudal lords as the core has limited capabilities, which makes the Brotherhood of the Black Hand and other associations and gangs actually play the role of "basic managers" to a certain extent.

Even if Lude really went on a killing spree and wiped out all the local gangsters, large and small, once they leave, new evil forces will soon emerge to fill the gap left.And the rise of these emerging forces will inevitably stir up bloody storms due to conflicts of interest. Until a new order is established, it will be the ordinary people at the bottom who will suffer.

So unless the lord can carry out drastic and comprehensive reforms to the entire ruling system, there must be a "Lich King".

Lu De was very helpless, but he also knew that this was the limitation of the times.

In view of this, Lude decided to take over the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, supported Trin to become the new president, and then commanded remotely behind his back.

First of all, the first step is to completely cut off the business of divine wine. Anyway, the two production bases have been destroyed, and the formula has been burned.

So on the day of the regular meeting, Tring, who had decided to give up his original identity and continue to play the role of necromancer, strode into the venue surrounded by the three remaining elders, wearing an artifact mask, and then sat in the chairman's seat grandly.

End of this chapter

According to Lude's plan, the Brotherhood of the Black Hand must undergo transformation and reorganization next, and strive to move from the black area where it was before to the gray area between black and white, and carry out incomplete "whitewashing".

After all, Lu De also knows that this organization is not a serious group at all.It is impossible for this group of social dregs to be good, and they can only maintain the current life of thousands of community members by engaging in crooked business.

Lu De didn't expect to achieve it overnight. In short, the evil spirits business was banned first, and other reforms should be done slowly.

Most of the directors present expressed strong opposition to the fact that the new chairman would ban the sale of divine wine as soon as he took office.

You must know that this is the main source of income for the fraternity, accounting for nearly two-thirds of their total income. As a result, the first thing he did when Dick came to power was to force everyone not to do this business in the future, so those who rely entirely on this for a living Naturally, the small and medium-sized associations refused to agree.

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of "alcohol addicts" in the entire Yanmu City, and the supply is suddenly cut off without any reason.

But Dick's attitude was very firm. The recipe for the divine wine had been destroyed along with the Mill Mine and Navarro's family. They would not be able to produce the divine wine in the future, so naturally this business could no longer continue.

Regarding the new president's explanation, everyone present was skeptical and always felt that something was wrong, but these guys are all good people. As early as when Dick was surrounded by three elders, they noticed that something was wrong.

In the previous month or so, the Brotherhood suffered heavy losses. The foundation in Yanmu City suffered an unprecedented blow. The useless mother opens the door for the useless, the useless is home!

Some people realized that the remaining three elders might have joined the enemy in private and became a second or fifth young man, and this necromancer who was directly airborne to the position of the president was an agent supported by the opponent.This possibility is not impossible, but very large!

However, the directors look at me and I look at you. Even though everyone knows it well, no one dares to stand up and question it.

All the ironic and funny scenes at the meeting were broadcasted in real time by Lude's peeping eyes, and he could see the changes in the expressions on every director's face.

"Hahaha! Is this the famous fraternity? It's really funny."

In the lobby of the tavern, Lude and the others were watching the live broadcast with great interest. The table in front of them was full of various snacks and drinks. The eldest sister Atropos was pouring tons of cold beer while frowning at the projection screen. Go up to those fraternity directors who behave like soft bones.

All these words were heard in someone's ears, making the other person's complexion even more ugly, but he could only resist the attack.

Behind Lude, the impostor who was cursed by God of War instead of Hume was forced to wear a highly revealing maid outfit and serve tea to everyone watching the live broadcast.

The counterfeit has been a god for 200 years. Although he has not been able to become the orthodox God of Thieves, when did he suffer such grievances?

She thought she would rather die than obey, but she lost all her divine power and was powerless to resist.And Shanisi, who forced her to submit, held three sticky cloth strips called Band-Aids in one hand and this maid outfit with exposed breasts and legs in the other and asked her to choose one. That's it.

What made her feel even more uncomfortable and unacceptable was that Comillad, who was also captured and defected to the enemy on the spot, did not have to suffer this crime, and could still enjoy the treatment of a guest. After that, Lude easily let the other party leave freely. This made the counterfeit very unbalanced.

Incidentally, the counterfeit now has a new name.She was originally a variant of Hume, so she has always regarded herself as Hume and wanted to replace him one day.Therefore, in order to distinguish it from Hume in the future, it got the new name of "Hume ([-])" from Lude.

As for how to deal with Hugh, the three sisters' initial suggestion was to seal the matter directly. Although the gods cannot be killed by conventional methods, they can be imprisoned for a long time by using seals. Best not to do it.

Because Hull is Hume's heteromorph, and now bears the curse of the God of War instead of Hume, they, a group of lower-level gods, can indeed work together to seal her, but they can't even insert the curse of the God of War , the final result can only be to seal Hume, but let the curse of God of War come back to Hume.

So Hugh escaped, and was forced to sign an unequal deed, "voluntarily" accepted the discipline of the Pantheon, and was not allowed to disobey any orders from Lude, just like a grandson who was put on a golden hoop by Tang Seng. monkey.

certainly!The real Master Sanzang would not force Wukong to wear a maid outfit...probably.

Glancing at Hume who was full of reluctance, Lude knew that this guy would definitely not be very honest in the future, and he was a potential troublemaker who needed to be kept on the lookout for a while, but as long as Hume woke up, all of these will no longer be a problem.

After the conversion ceremony that day, Hume became a scapegoat, his hands disappeared on the spot, and Hume, who finally got rid of the seal, suddenly fainted on the altar without warning.So much so that Shanisi and the three sisters who were present at the time subconsciously thought that Kumilad was cheating, and they were almost about to do it.

Fortunately, Lude hurried forward to check and found that Hume was fine, and even his body showed a "renewed" feeling visible to the naked eye. His gray hair turned into a lustrous silver gray, and he exuded surging divine power Fluctuation, completely different from before.

Kumilad also came over to take a look, saying that there is nothing serious. Hume has been sealed for 300 years. Now that she suddenly regains her strength, her spirit and body will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. Let her take it easy. , So this sleep has been sleeping until now, and there is still no sign of opening his eyes.

For Kumilad's left and right jumps, the goddesses around Lude generally felt complicated, and they felt somewhat unable to adapt.Especially the youngest, Lachesis, was even more brooding over the "bijiri's humiliation" he had suffered at the beginning, and wanted to take revenge but dared not, after all, he really couldn't beat him.

In contrast, Lude chose to accept it calmly.On the second day after the ceremony, he had a conversation with Kumirad alone, asking him something he was curious about.

Because of his professionally trained image shorthand ability, Lude accidentally discovered that the runes drawn by Kumilad on the ritual altar were exactly the same twice.This made Lu De wonder that perhaps the position of the "goddess of tax evasion" may have never changed from the very beginning.

"You actually created the heterotopic Hume, right? You have helped her for 200 years, just to wait for her to develop to a suitable level, so that she can bear the curse of God of War instead of Hume, right?"

"Oh! Why do you think so?"

"Guess."

"Ha ha!"

Regarding Lude's inquiry, Kumilad neither admitted nor denied it, but just said "I am very optimistic about you", and then left without saying goodbye in the early morning of the next day, who knows where he went again .

It is estimated that in the next period of time, Lu De will continue to stay in Yanmu City to reform the brotherhood, and at the same time use the cultural environment and human resources here to develop the film industry.

After all, making movies is not only profitable, but also an important channel for publicity. For the future missionary activities of the Pantheon, this is an important position that must be won. Lu De believes that no one in this world knows this better than him!

At this time, in the projected screen, the high-level regular meeting of the Brotherhood had ended, and Tring, who had assumed the identity of a necromancer, officially took over as the second president of the Brotherhood without any suspense.None of the high-ranking directors present dared to stand up and object. They could only accept this fait accompli, and then applauded in a hypocritical manner. The expressions of each one were full of joy at first glance.

End of this chapter

Although it is said that Sull and her brotherhood have been successfully dealt with, and this huge underground organization has been brought under his command for control, but for Lude, it is far from the time to relax, and a bigger crisis is already on the way. Approaching them quietly.

Before Kumilad left, he had specifically reminded Lud that as the pantheon continued to grow and its popularity spread wider and wider across the continent, other gods had gradually begun to notice their existence, and these old gods had a great deal of respect for the new ones. God's attitude is not always friendly.

And Lude also knows that what he is doing is undoubtedly a challenger trying to break the old order to the old gods. Moving from the earth to another world is still a universal truth!

Therefore, there is really not much time left for Lude.

So by chatting, Lude also humbly asked some questions to Kumilad, who is still on their side (probably) at least at this stage.

One is the current trends of those old gods, especially the Yusanjia and the Mother Goddess of the Earth. Even at the moment when the Pantheon has begun to take shape, if these few suddenly come to the door, they can still form a dimensionality reduction blow to them. This kind of ruthless character who can't be provoked in the short term, and should be avoided as much as possible in the medium and long term.

Fortunately, Yusanjia, who is the top of the gods, has not made any moves so far.

Among them, Karius, the holy lord of light, can be regarded as the "responsibility of conscience" among the old gods. He is a god of integrity, kindness, and benevolence. It is said that he is also super handsome, and he is the favorite object of many gods and goddesses.

But this guy also has a problem, that is, he is too straightforward, and he often does things in a single-minded manner, and he doesn't know how to adapt at all.

Therefore, Kumilad reminded Lude that if he has the opportunity to contact this guy in the future, it is best to leave a good impression on him. As long as he thinks you are a good person, the Pantheon will be in trouble in the future, and the Lord of Light will definitely be the first A strong support who stood up to support them.

But if you accidentally leave a bad impression and make him think that you are evil incarnate, you can only ask for luck.

We must know that the real strongest among the Yusan Clan was never the Heavenly Mad God of War who shouted loudly and talked about the invincibility of the world, but shouted "Don't fight anymore" during the battle of gods, The Holy Lord of Light who rushed into the battlefield and knocked all the participants to the ground indiscriminately.

This uncle is a different world version of Kira Yamato, and he doesn't need to drive Gundam, because he himself is Gundam!

of course!The Holy Lord of Light is the Holy Lord of Light, and the Holy Cult of Light is the Holy Cult of Light. The latter believes in the former, but after all, this huge organization is composed of tens of thousands of mortals. Karius really hopes that his believers can be loved by everyone. Xiang Guangming, but just like mortals firmly believe that gods are omnipotent, it is just one-sided wishful thinking.

The other two great gods don't need to worry too much for the time being. Heavenly Mad God of War is a battle madman with muscles in his head. If this guy knows that the Pantheon is trying to challenge the old order, this guy will definitely be ecstatic, so there may be a battle between the two sides in the future , but before the Pantheon is strong enough, even if the God of War knows of their existence, he will not have thoughts like "this child is so terrifying that he must not stay".

As for the Goddess of the Four Seasons, all signs indicate that she has reached the critical moment of breaking through from the eighth level to the ninth level.For high-ranking gods above Tier [-], every promotion is a hurdle. Even if everything goes well, they will have to sleep for three to five years. During this period, there is no need to worry about her calling suddenly.

The only problem, instead, is the Mother Earth, who is dubbed the "superior gatekeeper".This is the strongest mid-level god, and because Aina dug the corner of the "Plenty" god from her, and because the Steel Whip Clan took the lead, more and more dwarves began to convert to the Three Goddess Cult, so The most immediate conflict of interest exists between her and the Pantheon.

However, the Earth Mother Goddess also has a weakness, that is, this poor-breasted little Douding's brain is not very good. Although he is unruly and self-willed and likes to do things wrong, he is also very easy to be fooled by others.Kumilad said frankly that when the war of gods was in full swing, she was the lobbyist who coaxed the other party to betray the dwarf kingdom, and the little fool thanked her afterwards!

In addition to these four most threatening ones, other middle and lower gods, and even those evil gods and demons lurking in the dark, should also tentatively contact them.

Therefore, the current situation is actually not optimistic. If Lu De chooses to be content with the status quo at this juncture, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

In view of this, Lude asked Kumilad another more critical question, that is, is there a trick to break through the fourth level?

In the current Pantheon, except for Hume, who is still not awake, who is the middle god of the fourth level, all other goddesses are stuck in the third level.Among them, Aina is the one who is closest to a breakthrough. The divine power in her body has become saturated, and the previous dream test was also very effective, but it is still so short that she can't make it. It feels like the download is stuck. 99.9%.

And Lude really made up his mind to use the vicious sacrifice method, using other gods as "materials" to help Aina break through.

Regarding the difficulties encountered by Lude, Kumilad smiled and said that his thinking was correct. Aina was still unable to break through. right way.

"The reason why gods are called gods is because mortals call us this way for themselves, and unilaterally believe that gods must be perfect, omniscient and omnipotent existences, so once they find that gods do not match what they imagined, their beliefs will change. Collapse. Although you know some of the secrets of the gods, you are still subtly disturbed by these misunderstandings. The evolution of the gods has never been to transcend ordinary people. The Aina you raised is indeed a good child, but she is too Simple..."

Like a riddler, Kumilad spoke half of the words, and let Lude figure out the rest on his own. Then he left the next day without saying goodbye, leaving only a note saying that when Qiu Shi fell to the ground, she would Come to Pine Town again to bother, and ask Lu De to prepare wine and food in advance as a "tribute".

For such a shameless request, Lu De disgustedly twisted the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then silently took out his notebook and wrote it down, in case he would forget it after a long time.

After Kumilad left, Ludd commanded Trin remotely every day to reorganize the Brotherhood while waiting for Hume to wake up.

However, what makes people feel even more anxious is that Hume, who thought he would wake up in two or three days at most, just lay in bed like a Sleeping Beauty without moving for a week, which made Lude a little panicked.

End of this chapter

In the innermost room on the second floor of the tavern, Hume was lying on the bed motionless, with a peaceful expression on his face, as if he had just fallen asleep, but no matter how everyone called, there was no sign of waking up, nor did he seem to want to wake up. Like a breakthrough, there are surging energy fluctuations in the body.

Seeing that she was still awake, everyone was anxious along with her.

So led by Lude, everyone used the method of waking up the vegetative state on the other side of the earth, and arranged for people to come to Hume's bed in turn to talk to her every day, hoping that through the "call of friends", Hume could open his eyes as soon as possible.

Before I knew it, ten days passed.

On this day, Lude came back from his errands in the theater. Seeing that it was still early and he didn't feel very tired, he came to Hume's room, sat by the bed and told her what he was doing recently.

Sevis's Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe has now completely replaced Feixia Song and Dance Troupe, becoming the well-deserved No. [-] troupe in Yanmu City, while Katie has become a thing of the past, forgotten by the audience who love the new and hate the old.

Facing this situation, it’s not that Katie didn’t think about fighting back, and even had the idea of ​​taking risks, but unfortunately, two of her backers had accidents one after another. First, an accident happened to Navarro’s family, and the local official announced that it was There was a meteor shower that destroyed the manor, but the people in the city whispered that it was God's wrath.

Immediately afterwards, Bishop August, who originally wanted to take action against the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, also suddenly changed his attitude. This greedy and lustful old magician seemed to have suddenly changed his temper, and started doing charity in Yanmu City, ordering his followers The priests of the country chase after their butts every day to deliver food and drink to the poor.

Everyone was puzzled at first, but soon some well-informed people knew the reason. It turned out that the headquarters of the Holy Church of Light had sent a patrol team, and it was expected to arrive in Yanmu City soon to conduct audits and investigations on the local church personnel. In order to deal with the inspection team, August naturally had to cram for the time being, throwing coins to silence the locals.

As for dealing with the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, of course it can only be postponed for a while until the inspection team is sent away.

So Katie was surprised to find that she had suddenly become a helpless and lonely family. Not only were her two backers gone, but even the Tian Lai Opera House, which had been working happily together before, had to break up with her. Weiss is in the limelight, and there is no shortage of big bosses around her, and these big bosses will not ask Serves to do something in return for betraying herself like Juan and August.

Knowing that there was no chance of winning, Katie chose to leave the stage sadly, terminated the cooperation with Tianlai Opera House, and then left Yanmu City quietly with her singing and dancing troupe.Serves didn't know until the next day that her deadly enemy actually fled overnight.

After Katie left, Servez became the leader of the entertainment industry in Yanwood City, but unlike Katie, Servese liked to suppress dissidents, and she had Lude to advise her.

Driven by the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, Yanmu City's performing arts circle ushered in a round of industrial upgrading due to the emergence of projectors and cameras.

Everyone originally thought that the appearance of these two magical props would make the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe the dominant one in Yanmu City, occupy every stage, and take away the survival of other small and medium-sized song and dance troupes.But Ludd, as a technology promoter, has long prepared a brighter way out for these practitioners.

The Brotherhood of Black Hands, which has completed the initial reorganization, has paid for the establishment of a new company called "Brothers Films", and has incorporated all the dozen or so opera houses and more than thirty song and dance troupes in the entire Yanmu City into the company.

Lude was worried at first, whether there would be theaters or song and dance troupes who would not be willing, and the fraternity would resort to force brutally to intimidate.As a result, the expected conflict did not happen at all, because the rich and powerful brotherhood directly offered a price that they could hardly refuse.

In fact, Lu De's worries are almost superfluous. Most of the middle and lower class song and dance troupes are not rich, and the income from the performances is very meager. Forced to earn extra money outside the stage by selling x body.

Therefore, only a very small number of people chose to refuse when a rich man wanted to recruit them, not only with a substantial increase in salary, but also with food and housing.

In Lu De's plan, the main development direction of the Black Hand Brotherhood in the future will be closer to the field of catering and entertainment, and the film company is only one of the sub-projects.The incorporated opera house will be upgraded and reconstructed according to the standards of Tianji Opera House at the expense of the company, while the thirty or so song and dance troupes will be integrated into one place for unified "business retraining".

Since the total number of these song and dance troupes is less than 800 people, which is less than half of the expected staffing, Lude had to recruit additionally, and even asked Jed and Shirley for some fraternity members temporarily. added.

Everything is going well, and Rudd expects to start filming next month on his first real film, not a stage play.

Once this industry is really started by Lude, it will deal an unimaginable blow to the old missionary model in this world!The cinema will also replace the temple and become the best place for the Pantheon to harvest faith.

"Oh, yes! I used your silhouette as a symbol for the logo of the film company. In addition, you appeared in the script of the first movie that is about to start shooting. If you wake up now, I may consider letting you appear on the screen. Acting in your true colors Oh yourself!"

Sitting in front of the bed, Lude told Hume the hodgepodge of movie scripts he had prepared, and from time to time, he danced and made POSS.

But at this moment, Lude, who was talking excitedly, suddenly heard a slight snort, and he hurriedly looked towards the head of the bed in shock, only to feel that the expression on Hume's face seemed to be slightly different from before. , the corners of the originally straight mouth seemed to be slightly upturned.

Lude, who noticed the change, slowly moved closer, frowned and stared at Hume's face, as if he had discovered something, reached out and pressed Hume's soft lips, gently rubbed off a little white residue stuck to the corner of his mouth, and then I put it under my nose and sniffed it twice, and I could smell a faint aroma of butter biscuits.

Lude, who realized something, suddenly collapsed.

"Hey!"
