Chapter 345 Falling Moon and Mourning White
"Kailfu, you are also an old member of our Magic Council.
It is really wrong for you to let Chengdu Youshu die in your magic circle.
How can you let me explain to so many people, especially Xingfeng and Serena?"
Escher's face was as gloomy as water, and every word he said was like a knife piercing Kaierfu's heart.
"Kailfu, you have to think clearly. The Industrial Party can give you something, and our Magic Council can give you something too.
It has been so many years, you must not make mistakes.
If you sit on a crooked chair, you can't sit straight."
Kailfu heard the implication of Escher's words, and cold sweat came out drop by drop.
He has been stable all his life. If he is labeled a traitor at this time, he will be finished.
Kailfu knows that his life and that of his whole family are tied to the chariot of Bracada.
Being kicked off the car before retirement may have very miserable consequences.
He hurriedly explained tremblingly:
"Sir, I have really been watching him, but, but..."
Qi Ge noticed this scene keenly and hurried forward to make peace quietly.
"Chief teacher, after Serena and I arrived at the Fallen Moon Territory, Lord Kaierfu has been fully cooperating with us.
If he betrays our Magic Council, it should be a hindrance to us."
This "our Magic Council" sounds very comfortable.
Aischer nodded kindly to Qi Ge, turned around and said:
"It seems that I misunderstood you, Kaierfu, don't worry, you are loyal to our Magic Council, and we will never let you suffer.
After the New Year, come to Thunder City, I will arrange a good position for you.
What do you think of the director of the Academy of Magic?"
Although the director of the Academy of Magic does not have as much power as the city lord, even after retirement, his children can be recommended to the academy, and there are many hidden benefits, such as various female teachers and female students who want to take shortcuts.
Kaierfu was ecstatic. He looked at Qige and Escher with gratitude, and kept thanking them.
[System prompt: Kaierfu's favorability towards you +10, currently 50 (thank you)]
Qige smiled at Kaierfu encouragingly, feeling very happy.
If he could make the mayor of the Falling Moon Territory his own, it would be much easier for Wolfs to do things in the future.
"Oh, Kaierfu, as long as you like it."
Escher laughed and said to everyone, "Let's go and see the situation together."
Escher led everyone to Chengdu Youshu's side.
He lifted up Chengdu Youshu's head with his cane, his eyes flickered, and he said:
"Soul-destroying potion, extremely poisonous, even the soul is annihilated.
Pickjam is quite cruel."
Daris' eyes flickered, and she said: "The trajectory of fate has long been erased, and he has been prepared to prevent fate from exploring from the beginning."
Favner hummed: "These industrial bastards have no other skills, but they are good at raising dead soldiers."
Serena held Qi Ge's hand tightly, she stared at Chengdu Youshu's body, and her pupils turned red again.
She murmured:
"He just died like this? How could he just die like this?!
He should have died in my hands, blasted into slag by my lightning and anger, and confessed his crimes in front of the dead, instead of just dying like this!
What did Seraph do wrong? He just wanted to save some gold coins to come to Thunder City to find me.
Seraph has never hurt anyone, but was killed by Chengdu Youshu because of his greed.
I can't accept it!"
Serena's emotions got out of control again, and magic filled her body. Even on her white face, black and red blood vessel lines began to appear.
Aescher frowned, a little entangled whether to stop Serena.
Serena's temper is famous throughout Thunder City. Once she gets angry, she often gets out of control.
In the whole Thunder City, only Somla can calm down the furious Serena.
If I tried to stop it, it might end up with a fight between me and Serena.
If I didn't do anything, I was afraid that Serena would get angry and destroy everything indiscriminately.
Just when Escher was struggling, Xingfeng suddenly let go of Serena's hand and stepped in front of Serena.
He gently held Serena's face and said softly:
"Serena, don't be impulsive. Think about Sera Nann. She still needs your protection.
It's not a big deal that Chengdu Youshu died. He was just a knife in Black Hand's hand.
The knife is broken, but Black Hand is still there.
Serafu's death is not over yet."
Hearing Qi Ge's voice, Serena's breath gradually weakened. She calmed down a little, bit her lip, and said nothing.
Escher looked at this scene in surprise, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"Oh~~ Interesting.
The relationship between Xingfeng and Serena is closer than I thought.
Serena is Somla's student, and Xingfeng is Alged's student.
They are a perfect match! They are a perfect match!
If Xingfeng marries into Somla's family, Alged will have to stand on the side of our magic faction whether he likes it or not.
No, I must create an opportunity for Serena to take down Xingfeng.
In this case, Deris, Jonesfield and Fafner will be very troublesome."
Aescher suddenly had an idea and asked with a smile:
"Xingfeng, Serena.
In any case, Chengdu Youshu has been executed, so there is no need to hold a public trial. You can't hold a public trial for a dead person, right?
What are your plans next? "
Qi Ge calmly replied: "Chief, we still need to stay in the Fallen Moon Territory for a while.
Although Chengdu Youshu has been executed, some members of the Treasure Makers Guild also participated in this matter.
We must settle the past one by one. "
Aischer gave Qi Ge a meaningful look and said slowly:
"Then there is no point for me to stay here.
I will go back to Thunder City first, don't worry, take your time.
Xingfeng, Serena.
When you have settled the matter and return to Thunder City, come and sit with me. "
Dairys looked at Qi Ge deeply and said: "Xingfeng, don't occupy my loyal audience for too long. "
Jonesfield blinked, vaguely feeling that Serena and Qi Ge have a somewhat unusual relationship. Their hands, just loosened, are now held together again!
There is something wrong with you two! There is a story! Hehehe.
Favona deliberately said loudly: "Xingfeng, Agaide specifically told me to take you to visit the army, you must not forget it."
Aescher turned his head, chuckled disdainfully, shook his head, and thought to himself:
"Favona, just try your best to struggle.
In a while, Somla and I will invite you to the wedding.
Don't be too sad then."
Daris looked at Favona deeply, thinking to herself:
"Useless efforts, a poor guy who doesn't even know Xingfeng's real name."
Jonesfield:
"Serena is so small, Qi Ge is so tall, can they all fit in?
Hehehe. "
Xingfeng held Serena's hand, his eyes full of emotion.
He said affectionately: "Four executives, Serena and I will never forget your help today.
We will visit you one by one when we return to Thunder City."
"We will. Hahaha, good!"
(Haha, I will definitely win!)
Aescher walked into the portal with great satisfaction.
Favona still pestered Qi Ge, and kept saying: "Xingfeng, you must remember to come to the military camp."
Don't worry, how can I not go? I wrote and sent the letter myself.
Qi Ge repeatedly assured: "Executive Fafona, I am also very interested in Bracada's military command, and I will definitely go back to visit you!"
"Then it's a deal. ”
(We have a great chance of taking down Xingfeng and Agaide!)
Favner achieved his goal and walked back to the portal contentedly.
Daris and Qige looked at each other, Qige's eyes flickered, and he blinked three times at her quickly.
(It seems that he has not forgotten his promise to me, I am the final winner)
Daris smiled slightly, and was very satisfied to take Jonesfield, who was daydreaming, to leave.
Jonesfield was reluctant to leave.
(Damn it, I don't want to leave, I want to eat melons!)
Qige thought the scene was very interesting.
The executives of the three factions of magic, war, and logistics all felt that they could win, as if only the industrial faction was the loser.
After bidding farewell to the four legends, Qige collected the body of Chengdu Youshu, and Serena went back to Kaierfu.
Qi Ge took out the notebook he had on him and handed over to Kaierfu all the members of the Treasure Makers Guild and the Mage Guild who had participated in the Serafu incident.
Afterwards, Kaierfu sent out troops to capture the Treasure Makers Guild and the Mage Guild, which were surrounded.
Qi Ge searched the accounts of the Treasure Makers Guild, and with the help of Zarod, he investigated the "copyrights" that the Treasure Makers Guild had once occupied.
The numerous crimes between the lines were simply shocking.
In the past five years alone, the Treasure Makers Guild has plundered more than 1,000 "copyrights".
After a craftsman was robbed of his "copyright" by the Treasure Makers Guild, the Treasure Makers Guild sued him for infringement. They demanded tens of thousands of gold coins and took him to the dangerous bottom of the Falling Moon Lake to dig for the Falling Moon Stone.
Many craftsmen, even folk treasure makers, were beaten to death by the thugs of the Treasure Makers Guild.
In the Serafor incident, the Treasure Makers Guild had been very restrained.
Serena was furious and the Falling Moon Leader was in mourning.
On that day, the Treasure Makers Guild executed 41 people and the Mage Guild executed 23 people.
Among the people executed, the highest-ranking one was a hero, and the lowest-ranking one was 26 craftsmen.
In addition, there were more than 4,000 people who were not guilty of death but had participated in copyright plundering.
They were all sentenced to exile and sent to the bottom of the Falling Moon Lake to mine, with sentences ranging from 3 years to life.
Under the order of the Lord of Kaierfu, the treasure makers The Guild of Masters launched a campaign to "reorganize bad habits and eliminate bad habits."
The Guild of Masters of Treasures returned all the "copyrights" that were seized by the [Youshu Group] headed by Chengdu Youshu to the owners and compensated them.
For those whose owners have passed away, Wolfs and Zarod are responsible for finding the descendants of the creators, giving compensation and returning the copyrights.
After this incident, the entire Falling Moon Territory was filled with praises for the Lord of Kaierfu and Seven Pigeons Serena.
Especially those small craftsmen, they were so grateful to Seven Pigeons and Serena that many of them even fell on the street and kowtowed repeatedly.
Seven Pigeons was very moved.
He just tried to find a way to return what should have belonged to them.
But they were so grateful.
This is enough to show how harshly the Treasure Makers Guild oppresses small craftsmen.
And this is just a microcosm of the social structure of Bracada.
In Bracada, there are countless similar things.
The main reason for this phenomenon is that the Thunder Titans have used many sophisticated means to divide the society.
For example, the division of factions.
The four factions of war, magic, logistics, and industry firmly occupy the middle and upper classes that have been divided throughout Bracada.
As long as the social status or the rank of the military reaches a certain level, it will inevitably be accepted by one of the four factions.
The four major factions fight and hostile to each other, and can never unite, and naturally it is impossible to form a force to resist the Titans.
There are only two types of people who can be independent and do not belong to the four factions at all.
One is the god who transcends everything-the supreme ruler of Bracada, the Titan giant clan.
The other is the bottom of the bottom who has nothing-fairies and ordinary humans without spellcasting talent.
Here we need to involve another means of differentiation of the Titans.
The division of races.
There is no need to elaborate on the suffering of the fairies.
Ordinary humans also have a very difficult life in Bracada.
In Bracada, most of the mages who are born with the talent of spellcasters are extremely discriminatory against civilians who have no spellcasting ability.
The mages completely separate themselves from the civilians. They call themselves silver bloodlines and contemptuously call the civilians black iron wastes.
They also compiled many books to brainwash the civilians.
Let the civilians of Bracada believe that they are born to serve the mages and are proud of it.
For example, Serafo, he was a slave of the Serena family before.
The lower-class civilians like Serafo who have no spellcasting talent in Bracada are only slightly less oppressed than the fairies.
But they are much more obedient than the fairies, and they don’t have too many complaints about being enslaved and ruled by mages, and they are even accustomed to it.
Most of the "black iron wastes" have been brainwashed generation after generation, forming a social consensus.
This kind of ideological stamp is not so easy to remove.
This is also why the Treasure Makers Guild plundered so many small craftsmen without any resistance.
Except for a few mortals like Seraph who have seen the light and cannot tolerate the darkness, most mortals in Bracada believe that everything the wizards do to them is justified.
Even when they are bullied by the wizards, they will look for reasons in themselves.
"Why doesn't the wizard bully others, but only bullies me? It must be that I did something wrong."
"The wizard has already given me a job, why does he still give me money? What does he want from me?"
Such thoughts are common among those brainwashed mortals.
Mortals like Seraph who can hire the wizard Hader as the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce are already at the top of the Bracada mortals.
Even Seraph was arbitrarily oppressed by the Treasure Makers Guild, and the living conditions of other mortals can be imagined.
Qi Ge knows it deeply.
Under the prosperous appearance of Bracada, countless contradictions have long been accumulated, but these contradictions have been transferred by the Titans in many clever ways.
But no matter what, the contradictions always exist.
If we can find a way to continue to intensify and expand these contradictions, it will be like piling up one gunpowder barrel after another.
At that time, as long as one gunpowder barrel explodes, a gorgeous sympathetic explosion will be formed in an instant, and all the gunpowder barrels will explode in turn.
Like pushing dominoes, like an avalanche!
The Serafo incident has been handled, and almost all the murderers have received the punishment they deserve, except Pickjem.
Even if Qi Ge and Serena know in their hearts that Pickjem is likely to be the culprit of everything, with his identity and status, they can't touch him for the time being, and can only endure it temporarily.
In front of Serafo's grave, Sera Nan squatted on the ground, holding flowers in her hands, sobbing and saying her final farewell.
"Dad, I found the eldest lady, and our wish has been fulfilled.
The bastards who killed you have been buried with you.
I will return to Thunder City with the eldest lady in glory. Everything is the same as we dreamed, except you are missing.
Dad, in the legend of our Heart City, the dead will turn into holy spirits and accompany their loved ones.
I don't know if you have seen all this. If you have, please tell me when I sleep.
I want to see you again."
The strong Sera Nann also covered her red eyes at this moment and burst into tears.
Serena gently patted Sera Nann's back, and her expression was inevitably a little depressed.
Had and Ayton sat in front of Serafu's grave, with a heavy face.
Qi Ge gently played the harp, and the cheerful "Miner's Song" echoed in the cemetery.
"Mining?
Mining, mining, let's mine together!
After mining, go home and marry a wife!
After mining, advance to become a big miner.
Migrate a bigger mine and marry more wives.
Marry a wife and have children, sell the mines to buy a caravan.
The caravan carries the mines and sells gold coins, and with the gold coins you can upgrade your rank.
Level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4.
Upgrade to level 5 and become a hero!
Hehehe, mortals also have dreams.
Hard work can make you rich!"
The loess mound of Serafo seemed to be stained with a little happy fiery red in this joyful song.
Qi Ge said solemnly:
"Seraphim, may this song from the City of Joy bring your soul back to your happiest hometown.
Seraphim, good night and sweet dreams. "

After sweeping the grave, Qi Ge and his party returned to the location of the Flower of Joy.
Serena and Saira Nunn gathered together to whisper, while Harder and Ayton were sorting out the gifts to take to Thunder City.
Qi Ge took advantage of this opportunity and found the Wolfs family's small villa.
When Wolfs saw the seven pigeons, his eyes almost glowed.
He first closed all the windows, then asked a few goblins to help guard various intersections, and then secretly lit a candle in the dark house.
"Please sit down! Master Qi Ge, please sit down!"
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said teasingly: "You finally guessed it was me?"
Wolfs scratched his head sheepishly and said:
"Lord Qi Ge, your disguise skills are truly superb.
When I heard you say that you were a student of Al Qaeda, I was not sure it was you, my lord.
Until I saw how heroic you were in handling things, my lord.
That's called a comprehensive plan, with ease.
Until now, I was sure it was you, my lord.
There cannot be two geniuses like you, Master Qi Ge, in the world of Yasha! "
"Heh. Okay, okay."
Qige lightly knocked on the table and asked:
"Wolfs, how are you? Did you encounter any difficulties with the task I gave you?"
"Lord Qi Ge, we really have a problem. Please listen to me."
…
…
"Is it a problem with the location of the Goblin Tavern?"
Qi Ge knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and said without hesitation:
"It's easy to solve. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
I'll help you get a shop near the castle in Falling Moon Territory.
We opened our first tavern in the most conspicuous and prosperous location in the entire Falling Moon Territory! "
Wolfs was shocked:
"Ah! Sir, isn't this too conspicuous?!
How can we secretly collect intelligence there? "
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said:
“Who said gathering intelligence requires stealth?
I will recommend you to Serena and let you become Serena's stationed intelligence officer in the Fallen Moon Territory to collect information for Serena.
Even some of the information you collect can be shared with Kelfu, the city lord of Fallen Moon Territory. "
Qige explained in detail:
“We went straight from darkness to light.
It is built next to the castle and improves the quality of the wine and service. Officials from the castle will be attracted to it.
These officials are not only our sources of intelligence, but also the people we can bribe.
We can then use these official shelters to spread out our tavern network.
Divide the Goblin Tavern into different levels.
There are at least three levels. The highest level is called Serena's Thunder. It is as expensive as it comes. Those with an annual income of less than 10,000 gold coins are not recommended to enter.
The second level is called Spring under the Moon, which is dedicated to those small clerks.
The third level is called Happy Forest, targeting ordinary people.
In the early stage, you can squeeze the market at a low price, squeezing other pubs to death, acquire them directly, and poach the people and shops together.
Wait until a monopoly is achieved, then slowly increase prices to earn appropriate profits.
When the market is completely open, I will go directly to Kelfu and invite other senior executives of Luoyue Ling to join us in investing.
Giving them some dividends every year, coupled with Serena's threat of force, they will have to obediently serve as our helpers in removing obstacles.
At that time, we will appear to be an ordinary tavern, but in fact we will be a chain tavern group.
Behind the scenes is an intelligence organization gathering information for Kelfo.
If we dig deeper, we can find Serena's head.
Finally, after all the skins are peeled off, you can only find out that the real owner of these taverns is you.
And I will hide behind your scenes, as your strongest backing and your trump card in times of crisis. "
ps: There will be extra updates for the top 100 people who get the monthly ticket. Come on everyone, there are only 4 places left.
