It wasn't until a few days later that the first batch of players who followed 'Karen' into the 'Dark Realm' gathered at a gathering point and spread out to inquire about the news, did they really realize that when 'Karen' asked that question , what exactly does it refer to.

"What did you say?" In the tent, a red-haired player frowned and asked the businessman in front of him for proof: "Where are you from...?"

When he was asking questions, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but glance at the men and women standing on the left and right sides, as well as under the loose robes of the businessman in front of him.

They were all human beings... human beings with good looks, beautiful bodies, naked, and only the important parts were covered by gold and silver ornaments.

"Of course - the Diamond Islands!" The merchant wearing gold and silver sat on the back of a kneeling slave, observed the details of his expression, and said with a bold smile: "Made by Roslyn, the quality is guaranteed!"

——The Diamond Islands are now named "Roslyn Islands".

The face of the questioning player became more serious.

He was silent for a moment, and then slowly repeated: "'The Diamond Islands'?" After a while, he seemed unaware that the businessman was observing him, and said: "I am coming to the Dark Realm this time, and I am also planning to go to the Diamond Islands ..."

He told the truth, which made the businessman's eyes shine.The hand hidden in the sleeve moved, and immediately fiddled with a bone ring on the finger. In the dark sleeve, the red gemstone inlaid on the gold base shimmered a little.

Compared with the "crystal-like rare ore", that gemstone looks more like a drop of solidified thick blood. It does not have the light-transmitting feeling of crystals, nor does it have a sharp and smooth cut surface during post-processing, which can be shiny. The oval shape is only more convenient for the rich blood light to flow in it.

The businessman stretched out his hand and pointed to the iron plate in front of him. On one hand, seven rings and six bracelets shone brightly under the standing torch, drowning the blood ruby ​​with a sense of strange confusion inside, making it unattractive. Others pay attention.

But the carved iron plate that the jeweled finger was pointing at was so dark that the pattern could not be seen clearly under the firelight.

At this moment, it is being held on top of the head by two slaves kneeling opposite each other with four hands, and there are finger-sized tan cork glass bottles neatly arranged on top of them. veneer tags.

"This is the 'golden gem' unique to the Diamond Island!" His tone was very enthusiastic, "Since you are going to the Diamond Island—oh, I think you also know that the movement of people and seas has been banned there, so you can only Go through the 'door' here—you'll get a copy of this then!"

"..." The red-haired player stared at the bottles and didn't speak for a while.

After a while, he gave up pretending that he knew the way, and asked directly: "What does it do?"

Seeing that he asked this question, as if he wanted to spend money here, the smile on the merchant's face became stronger, which was in sharp contrast to the slaves around him who were either numb or with stiff smiles: "Can you Don't underestimate this little bottle—”

Under the gaze of the red-haired player who was so calm that there was no disgust in his heart, the businessman picked up a small bottle, opened it and poured out the contents.

It was a white, clean, fingertip-sized, exquisite bone ball, and inside the ball lay a polyhedral gemstone full of blood.

Although it is a 'gem', in fact, it is like the face of the bone ring inlaid on the merchant's finger, rich in color but dull.

"—This is, now, the ticket to enter the Diamond Island!" The businessman glanced at the strange young professional in front of him with a smile, especially the secret energy accessories that did not fall on every part of his body, "Make a It will take three years to prepare the materials—one price, [-] gold coins! As long as you enter the country normally, there will be no problems!"

"Why are you stealing money...?!!" the red-haired player blurted out.

The merchant's face changed, realizing that the spell of confusion attached to his ring hadn't taken effect, so he quickly changed his face and smiled more amiably: "Look at what you said, my thing..."

As he spoke, he saw a black-gloved hand reaching out from his side, picking up a vial.

The businessman was horrified: he didn't realize that there was another person beside him!Even those standing and strengthened slave servants didn't respond to this!

And at this moment, even if he was aware of this fact, he didn't dare to turn his head to see who was coming in the terrifying atmosphere that enveloped his surroundings.

What was even more frightening was that, amidst the dread that made his scalp tingle, he saw the red-haired boy on the opposite side looking at him sideways with a surprised expression on his face.

"'Gold' refers to the human bone, and 'gem' refers to the mutated pineal gland." The deep voice of 'Karen' crushed the smile on the player's face, turning it into panic, which quickly changed into anger—

'Karen' picked up the stiff and immobile businessman and threw it aside, pulled a small box from the side and sat up, looking at the red-haired player across the jewel booth and the tray full of 'gold gems' .

They were in a tent with a wide space, surrounded by the aura of gemstones and the lights of standing candlesticks.

This is the "Knowledge City" commercial district, the largest gathering place near the middle of the 'Dark Realm'. From the street to the end of the street, there are nearly ten thousand tents of different sizes. These are the rental shops set up by the 'Dark Realm' here.

Of course, during the rental period, these tents can be decorated and branded by the renter himself.Therefore, although the curtains of the tent they are currently in are open to both sides, there is a layer of gold chain curtains covered with finely divided colored gemstones hanging, dancing gracefully in the darkness, as if a beautiful starry sky has been cut from the sky.

"Since ancient times, the mine owners of the Silmarillion Islands have served... rich people and professionals."

'Karen' talked eloquently, without even looking at the gem merchant who was frightened and unable to move.

Among the servants in different situations, most of them were unable to act without receiving instructions from their masters, and a small number wanted to act but were held in place by the stagnant sense of oppression.

That is the power used by the 'hunter' to control the prey, and it is also a kind of... small skill.

"Since . . . long ago," said 'Karen,' "the process has begun."

He spread a hand.

"Rich people buy gems from them because they need the most beautiful and noble natural products they know to decorate their empty hearts."

He spread out his other hand.

"Professionals buy gems from them because they need the crystallization that is richest in natural secret energy in their cognition to enhance their weak strength."

"at last……"

He clapped his hands together.Behind the black gloves, a pair of deep red eyes smiled and looked at the 'eye' that was almost stuck on the red-haired player's forehead.

"...Boundless wealth is gathered because of this, and the Silmarillion Peninsula has become an 'island' because of that endless wealth."

[This look, this composition, I am dead, completely dead]

[Screenshots, screenshots, take screenshots vigorously! 】

【So, this is the importance of controlling the origin of raw materials (.】

[Laughing, 'empty mind' and 'weak strength' ← Judging from these words, Katie's contempt for those people can be seen]

[Wait, what happened to 'The Diamond Peninsula became an archipelago because of wealth'? 】

【Grass, does it mean that the disaster that caused the Diamond Peninsula to sink into the sea was actually because they were too rich and coveted by others? 】

"..." The red-haired player was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Then what does this have to do with 'Golden Gems'?"

"Don't worry, the Chosen One who is favored by Garland." 'Karen' said softly, "What do you think is the best gemstone in the world? And why did I ask that question a few days ago?"

When he said these words, the red-haired player suddenly received a system prompt: 'Obtain the title [Grand Knight's Expectation]'.

Immediately afterwards, in the status bar under his avatar, there was an additional status: 'The event [Love House and Wu] is being triggered, and the trigger target: [Garon Onsis]'.

The red-haired player's eyes flickered, thoughtful.On his chest, an ornate replica badge shone amidst gems and lights.

[I'm so sour, I want this kind of title too]

【Wait, doesn't the bird brother next door also have a title like [Great Knight's Appreciation] or something】

【Um?yes!Why don't I have such a title! ! 】

[Laughing to death, Brother Bird is haunting upstairs... Bird, have you finished drawing the manuscript? Just go to the forum! ! 】

[……QAQ, everyone wants to see the land of Taienen, which is half an hour away]

【Alas……】

【…………Alas! ! 】

[Duplicate words are evil! 】

Everyone remembers, before that, the question that 'Karen' had raised to the players——

—'Chosen One, I wonder... Are there any merchants in your world who love to oppress the people who work for them and don't take human life seriously? '

And when he asked a question, he didn't seem to feel that he could get an answer.

But just as he continued to walk forward, the players beside him came and answered immediately: "Street lamp pendant!" "Capitalist!"

...After seeing the blank gaze of 'Karen', they quickly deleted the previous answer, and under the call of the map channel, they unified and answered "capitalist".

Then, there will be a wave of small classrooms of educational knowledge guided by professional ideas such as "Zi O Theory" that has experienced thousands of years of tempering.

Proficiency in teaching, humility in learning at the same time, under the systematic theoretical knowledge and strong learning and understanding ability of professionals, the two sides conducted a variety of knowledge and information exchanges before they walked out of the underground palace, and driven by the same concept Reaching a consensus and realizing that the phrase 'capital came into the world...' is not a lie.

But now, Lei Zhe, who is wearing the shell of 'Galen', is going to tell them that this sentence has another meaning in Tyne Continent.

"Perhaps you don't know that the production process of 'Gold Gem' is the process of 'preparing raw materials'." 'Karen' said with a cold smile, "The reason why the 'Gold' covering the 'Gem' is so self-contained The perfect cage shape is precisely because it was in this shape when it was still growing in the human bone."

"Civilians in the Diamond Islands have only two possibilities in their lives: to become miners, or to become servants of the mine owner. But no matter which way they can't escape - after they are no longer young, they will be removed from their original The post was taken down to make a 'golden' implant."

"In three years, such tumor-like 'gold' will grow on their bones. When harvesting, these 'gold' will be directly pulled out from their bones by the professionals under the mine owner. It's like pulling a tooth out of the jawbone."

"They will not be let go with their bones riddled with holes. Most of them will be killed, their blood will be drawn out, and together with other important tissues of their own, they will be made into a 'gem' culture solution. As long as the 'gold' is put in Go in, and the 'gem' will naturally grow out of it..."

'Karen' stretched out his fingers, and lightly flicked the silent brown glass bottles on the iron plate lifted by the two slaves who hadn't gotten up in front of him.

Those glass bottles that look like medicine bottles contain 'whose family's parents' and 'whose family's children' are lying there.

"The amount on this plate is probably for one person..." he said softly, "That is to say, according to the standards of people like Diamond Island, a person's 'all value' is presented in front of you."

"Now……"

Scarlet eyes met eyes flooded with anger.

"...tell me," said 'Karen,' "if something like this is happening every day, every month, every year, every century, every millennium... in the lives of everyone, somewhere."

"What are you... going to do? The Chosen Ones?"
