Law of the Devil

The time finally spanned the last day of the empire's nine hundred and sixty-two years.

On that night, in the imperial capital, the "fireworks" invented by Du Wei became the best-selling item in the shops under the Tulip Duke Industry. Even the imperial palace came to purchase several large cars.

In addition, Du Wei also ordered the factory to quickly produce a batch of small fireworks suitable for civilian use and sell them to the common people in the imperial capital.

Taking advantage of the happy season at the end of the year, a large number of gold coins flowed into Du Wei's pocket again. As for Du Wei's top business CEO, Little Zach, he smiled happily.

That night, over the sky of the imperial capital, brilliant fireworks shone throughout the night, illuminating the sky above the imperial capital as if it were daytime. The square of the palace issued special control regulations, where the largest fireworks paid by Duvet to the royal family were concentrated. This thing is much more majestic than the "Goddess of Dawn Forgiveness" that Du Wei made out to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Looking at the huge fireworks blooming in the sky, Du Wei didn't go to the square to watch the ceremony at the moment. Even though countless wealthy nobles went to the square in front of the palace to see the ceremony tonight, Du Wei said he was sick and rested at home.

He was alone, sitting on the roof of the tallest building in the Duke's Mansion, with his legs stretched on the eaves, and a bottle of fine wine beside him. Even though the night is very cold, Du Wei seems to be very comfortable.

"It's another year... I'm alone again." Du Wei sighed, picked up the bottle and took a sip, then laughed, facing the starry sky in the distance. Loudly said: "Happy New Year!"

A sense of loneliness suddenly appeared in his heart - Du Wei has been in this world for many years, although he feels that he has gradually adapted. He has even melted into this world, and sometimes, he has become accustomed to calling himself a "Roland man". But the old Chinese saying is very good: every festive season misses relatives.

Only in this kind of festival that everyone celebrates, the inner loneliness will flash out like a ghost. Always remind yourself: I am different from people in this world.

actually. Now that Du Wei thinks about it, it's absurd to feel so emotional.

Originally, he thought that he was a pure person who traveled from the original world. But now I realize that I have actually lived in this world for several lifetimes! Aragon. Du Wei 1...huh.

If calculated in this way, I have spent many years in this different world. There are even a lot more than on Earth in previous lives.

"Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, which one is the butterfly. Which one is me?" Du Wei smiled self-deprecatingly.

far away. There was a lively din in the street. And far away in the sky. Fireworks bloomed amidst the roar. The festive atmosphere on that street could be smelled even from far away.

Just then. Du Wei's heart suddenly fell silent... Now that he has merged. Why do you have to have such a sad mentality like a child?

Looking at the street in the distance... presumably now. Everyone is in a joyful atmosphere.

today. Even the servants of the Duke's Mansion put on new clothes.

Think about it here. Du Wei suddenly had an impulse in his heart...Looking at the distant street, the flickering light of fireworks came faintly.

"Actually, how many people know. I didn't make this fireworks to make money at all." Du Wei whispered to himself: "I just want to make this world. Try to make it more like my original world. .”

When a person becomes more and more lonely. In fact, my heart is more and more yearning for those lively occasions. If you can't think about people, at this time. Instead, he will lock himself up alone.

But Du Wei... After he took his last sip of wine, he suddenly threw the bottle down from the roof. I flicked my clothes. Laughing: "Stupid, stupid!"

Immediately, his body floated down from the roof of the building and landed on the ground. He strode towards the outside.

When they came to the front hall of the duke's mansion, the servants saw the master. They immediately stopped and saluted from a distance.

Du Wei smiled lightly. Go quickly. Walking to the door, listening to the sound of crackling fireworks and firecrackers coming from outside in the distance. The impulse in Du Wei's heart was even more vigorous.

He casually waved his hand to make several guards retreat: "I'm going out for a walk alone, don't let anyone follow me... um..."

When he said this, he suddenly saw honestly. Even the young man standing in the far corner with a somewhat timid look, Du Wei smiled and hooked his fingers: "Lufik, you go out for a walk with me."

This Lufik is naturally the "future Nanyang King" from Nanyang, but at this moment he has to be by Du Wei's side, enduring the fear of Du Wei all day long, and even being his groom.

Looking at the fearful expression on Lufik's face, Du Wei's attitude today was very kind: "Okay, kid, don't talk nonsense, follow me out."

After speaking, he strode out of the duke's mansion. Lufik didn't dare to delay, so he could only obediently follow behind.

The fear of Du Wei has been deeply imprinted in his heart. The more kindly Du Wei smiled at him at this moment, the more reverence in Lufik's heart.

The two came to the bustling place of the imperial capital after turning two streets.

Lu Fick followed quietly, but Du Wei looked back at him rarely, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid of me?"

Lu Fick shrank back hard, the fear in the boy's eyes made Du Wei smile, he stretched out his hand and patted the boy's shoulder: "Very good, I am very satisfied with your performance You remember one thing: you are afraid of me, this is normal, and there is nothing strange.

In fact, as long as you don't disobey my words in the future, I won't punish you either. Moreover, I don't want you to become cowardly because of this. Remember, you may be a king in the future. "

As he said that, he gave the boy a slight push, and then he actually pulled the boy and walked side by side with him.

On the bustling street, there are many young children bouncing around and setting off fireworks. It seems that Du Wei has created this new gadget, which is very popular among people.

"Master. Master..."

Lufik suddenly hesitated. He opened his mouth timidly. Although he was afraid of Du Wei in his heart, he was still a teenager after all. Looking at the bustling road and the fireworks held by those children, he couldn't help showing a look of yearning: "You, today..."

"Why are you so gentle with you today?" Du Wei smiled lightly, and then he whispered: "Lufik, you are not from Roland. Your hometown is in Nanyang, that is to say. You are a foreigner.".

Then he whispered something only he could hear: "And I... am also a stranger."

Du Wei suddenly walked to the side of the road and grabbed two children who were preparing to set off fireworks. Then two fingers took out a gold coin from the pocket, and smiled: "I'll exchange this for what you have in your hand. OK?"

Although the two children are very playful, they are old enough to tell how much money is. Glancing at Du Wei, his eyes could not help but light up, and he nodded hurriedly. Before Du Wei could speak, he quickly dropped the fireworks in his hand on the ground. Then he took Du Wei's gold coin, turned around and ran away.

"Here. Take it. These are yours. You want to play later. Just play."

Du Wei sighed, and actually touched Lufik's head: "Child, after all, it's just a child."

Lu Fick's black eyes. Suddenly, something other than fear flashed across, and there was a hint of emotion.

Walking to the intersection of the street, watching Lufik happily lit a firework, a gorgeous spark burst out from the fire, and Lufik's immature face was full of excitement and joy, Du Wei sighed in his heart , I couldn't help thinking: Am I being too strict with him on weekdays?

With this idea in mind, Du Wei even bought a pack of candies for Lufik during the next shopping trip. The two masters and servants actually held candies in their hands and ate them all the way.

Gradually, under the bustling atmosphere of the street, the indifference in Du Wei's eyes finally faded bit by bit, and he seemed to really blend into the atmosphere. Lufik also finally raised his head unknowingly, no longer cowering - of course, whenever he faced Du Wei, he was still full of awe.

When the two reached the end of the street, they turned a corner, and the road ahead was not so bustling. Du Wei suddenly saw a tavern open by the side of the road, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

It was the night of the New Year at this moment. I am afraid that every household would not come out to eat and drink, and it was almost late at night. Such a tavern was still open for business. How could there be any business?

With a trace of curiosity, Du Wei casually walked into the door of this house. After walking in, I found that the tavern did not look very prosperous. The hall looked very narrow and dark. From the environment and decoration, it was also a little old, which was a bit out of tune with the festive atmosphere outside.

Even in order to save money, only two lamps were lit.

At this moment, in the empty hall, there was not even a single guest except himself.

A teenager who looked only in his teens, dressed as a waiter, saw Du Wei coming in, and hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically. Behind the counter, a woman in her thirties also hurried out.

Du Wei withdrew his sizing eyes, found a chair at random and sat down.

"Dear guest, what do you need?" The boy said slowly, but his articulate words were a bit unclear, as if his words were extremely jerky, and he seemed like a novice.

Du Wei smiled, took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it on the table: "Just get some food and drink, it's cold enough today, build a brazier next to me."

When the waiter saw the gold coin, his eyes widened immediately, but the lady boss next to him hurried over, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and respectfully said to Du Wei: "Guest... you, such a gold coin, we There's nothing worth the price here..."

Du Wei saw the embarrassment of the other party: "It's okay, just get a little of what you have here, and the extra will be rewarded as a tip to the waiter."

From the contours of the faces of the waiter and the female boss, he could tell that they were either mother and son or siblings.

Soon, the food was served. The female boss was very honest, she didn’t lie, there was really nothing good here, the food served was just a bowl of stuffed meat, and a plate of beans boiled in salt water, besides the wine, Du Wei took a sip, They are also relatively poor cracked wines-fortunately, they are still strong enough.

The female boss seemed a little panicked: "These are the only things left in the store. We really can't bear a gold coin from you... Please..."

Du Wei smiled slightly: "It's nothing, since I rewarded this child, there is no reason to take it back."

Lu Fick, who was next to him, stayed with Du Wei all night today. Seeing that Du Wei treated him kindly, he seemed to be a little more courageous. He coughed and stood behind Du Wei. Yes, you just take it. Our master is a noble person, so there is no reason to take back what we have given out?"

After letting the boss and the waiter back down, Du Wei pointed to the chair beside him: "Lufik, sit down and have a drink with me."

The boy was taken aback, and looked at Du Wei in disbelief.

"What are you looking at? Afraid I'll eat you? Sit down, I'll let you drink with me." Du Wei said lightly, and Lufick quickly sat down.

After eating something, Du Wei was very satisfied with the food. The beans boiled in salt water were delicious. The meat is also very rotten and fragrant. It seems that the craftsmanship of the boss here is pretty good.

As for Lufik, he just touched the edge of the chair with his butt cautiously, but he didn't dare to reach out to eat. Du Wei smiled. He didn't know why, but tonight he felt a little bit of pity for this young man—probably because of his sympathy. .
