"Something wrong with his head?"
Luigi nodded. "Yes. Something wrong with his head."
Luigi sighed. Just as he was about to explain, he caught a glimpse of a luxuriously dressed Peluxiu walking toward a dye shop with neon lights illuminating the sky.
"See that Peluxiu?" Luigi pointed at the Peluxiu and whispered to Angor.
Angor glanced at him and nodded.
This Peluxiu was dressed even more luxuriously than the previous one. He was still wearing a hat, but this time, the hat was inlaid with a circle of glowing gemstones. The gemstone on his forehead was a dazzling ruby. There was also a feather attached to the ruby, which carried a strong Rhythm of Fire. Angor could vaguely see the shadow of a giant red bird soaring into the sky.
Without a doubt, the feather came from a supernatural being in the shape of a bird.
However, the most eye-catching thing about this Peluxiu wasn't his attire, but his red skin.
All the Peluxiu Angor saw so far were green-skinned. This Peluxiu was the only red-skinned one he saw so far.
"Peluxiu only have two main skin colors: green and red. Most of them have green skin, while the red-skinned ones are the minority. " Luigi said, "Green skin and red skin are only different in appearance. There's actually no difference between them. However, because red skin is one of the few colors, and Peluccio's aesthetic value is red skin, it makes Peluccio's red skin more popular. This trend has been going on for many years, and in the end, most of the red-skinned Peluxiu became nobles and moved into the inner city. "
Luigi shrugged. "Distinguishing between nobles and commoners because of their skin color … You can tell that Peluxiu isn't very smart."
"But that's not all. Did you see how the red-skinned Peluxiu dressed? Doesn't he look like Duo Yi? "
Angor nodded. Duo Yi was a simplified version, while the red-skinned Peluxiu looked more luxurious.
Luigi said, "Actually, it's not that they dress alike. It's just that the red-skinned Lucio likes this kind of luxurious dress, and the green-skinned Lucio admires the red-skinned Lucio, so they imitate whatever they dress up."
Angor nodded. "So this is what you call a fashion vane?"
Luigi nodded. "You can think of it that way. However, the fashion vane of the Pilucci family is completely defined by the red-skinned Pilucci. Whatever they think is fashionable, the green-skinned Pilucci will also start to chase after this fashion in a short period of time."
"Weren't you wondering why there are so many dye shops and dental clinics here? Actually, it was the red-skinned Leuco who started the trend. "
"…???" Dentists and dye shops are trendy now?!
Luigi shrugged. "You're shocked too, right? That's the truth. There's something wrong with Pilucci's brain, a huge problem. "
"It's because of the red-skinned Pilucci's custom of dyeing their teeth. The dental clinics you see are not only for treating teeth, but also for dyeing teeth."
The red-skinned Pilucci liked to dye their teeth in all kinds of colorful colors. For this reason, the red-skinned Pilucci even had magazines to define the "trendy colors" of each year. Of course, the red-skinned Pilucci also defined the trendy colors.
This strange custom quickly spread among the green-skinned Pilucci after the red-skinned Pilucci became popular, which caused many green-skinned Pilucci to follow the trend and dye their teeth.
When there was demand, there would naturally be a market.
As a result, dye shops and dental clinics became popular and opened one after another.
"Isn't this ridiculous?" Luigi asked.
After a pause, Luigi continued, "Also, I met Sage Pika when I went to look for Barbalegon. Sage Pika told me something even more ridiculous. "
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Pika is the sage of Pippi Castle. You can think of him as a great inventor. He and Grand Duke Pixiu are brothers, and they are both descendants of the deceased great sage. "
After a brief introduction of Pika's origin, Luigi continued to talk about the "ridiculous thing" from before.
According to Sage Pika, the red-skinned Pilucci's custom of dyeing their teeth actually came from an accident.
Many years ago, a red-skinned Pilucci's teeth were broken and showed dark brown spots. It didn't look good, so it found someone to dye the broken teeth.
Coincidentally, another red-skinned Leuco saw this and remembered it in his heart.
The reason why she remembered this was not because her teeth were also broken, but because she was tired of the color of her teeth.
Generally speaking, the teeth of the green-skinned Pilucci were blue, while the teeth of the red-skinned Pilucci were dark green.
She felt that as a "noble" red-skinned Pilucci, she shouldn't have the color of the poor on her body, and dark green was the color of the poor.
Her dress could exclude dark green, but what couldn't change was that every time she opened her mouth, she would reveal dark green teeth.
After complaining to no avail, she suddenly saw one of her companions dyeing their teeth. She immediately had an idea: I want to dye my teeth too!
Since then, other things have happened, but generally speaking, the custom of dyeing teeth originated from these two red-skinned Leucous.
Luigi said, "To put it bluntly, dyeing teeth is a way for the red-skinned Pilucci to discriminate against the green-skinned Pilucci. Is there something wrong with their heads?"
Monster Suppression Museum.
Angor didn't know what to say.
In the wizarding world, there were cases where certain industries became popular due to popular customs. Many merchants even created certain fads in order to sell their stockpiled goods.
But Angor had never heard of someone who was discriminated against chasing after the discriminator.
No wonder Luigi complained that they were crazy.
The cores of red-skinned and green-skinned Pilucci were the same. However, the red-skinned Pilucci took itself too seriously, while the green-skinned Pilucci didn't take itself seriously at all.
From this small detail, Angor could see how twisted the Pilucci race was.
While they were talking about Pilucci, the trailer was about to arrive at the station.
Looking forward from the air, a new isolation barrier could be seen, enclosing a large area. This area was the core of Pippi Castle, which was also the inner city area with the best purification ability.
Soon, they arrived at a trailer platform that was dozens of meters tall. This was the last platform before entering the inner city. They had to stop here for a minute.
Someone from the Pilucci City Guard would come to grant the trailer permission to enter the inner city barrier.
Unlike the outer city barrier, the inner city barrier had a higher level of clearance and a special space partition. Anyone who wanted to enter had to register first. Trespassers would be severely punished.
This was why Luigi didn't use the Corridor of Mirrors to reach Barregon's gate. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.
Pilucci wasn't a strong individual, but Pippi Castle was full of powerful inventions. Even the Mirror Dragon wouldn't be able to break in by force.
Therefore, anyone who wanted to enter the inner city had to follow the rules of Pippi Castle.
It was a quick process. The guard came up and gave the trailer the necessary clearance.
The only thing worth mentioning was that Pelusius was wearing the same expression as Dollar's when he boarded the carriage. It was exactly the same as Dollar's expression. However, when the guard saw Luigi standing inside the trailer, he quickly lost his courage.
He respectfully completed the activation of the authority, nodded and bowed as he exited the carriage.
Angor didn't know what Luigi did to them, but judging from their expressions, Luigi must have taught them a good lesson.
After the inner city was granted, the trailer started moving again.
Half a minute later, the trailer successfully entered the inner city barrier.
The inner city was much more prosperous than the outer city, which could be seen from the layers of trailer tracks in the air.
However, the most eye-catching thing in the inner city was the "castle" at the center of the city, which was shrouded in purple mist. That was Duke Pippi's residence, the real Pippi Castle.
Even from such a long distance, one could still feel the majesty of the castle.
Together with the purple mist, it gave off a mysterious and majestic aura.
"The mist outside the castle is a weapon invented by the previous sage. It's called the Eye of Thunder," Luigi explained. Luigi said, "It can summon terrifying thunderbolts from the sky at any time to continuously lock on and attack the intruder. That's the lightning punishment I mentioned earlier. "
"The Eye of Thunder is very powerful. It's Pilucci's family's secret invention, and they never sold it to outsiders. However, it is said that Pillucci was able to hold a gathering in the Crystal Eye Race's territory because he secretly used the Eye of the Thunder as a bargaining chip. Therefore, when we go to the gathering later, we might be able to see the Eye of the Thunder in person. "
Luigi couldn't help but show a serious expression when talking about the Eye of Thunder. It was obvious how powerful the weapon was.
There were many problems with Pilucci, but the only good thing was that there was nothing wrong with their invention.
Luigi did not talk too much about the Eye of Thunder. Angor wanted to ask about it, but since he knew he might see the monster's real body at the party, he decided not to ask about it. Instead, he asked about something else.
"Before we entered Pippi Castle, you said you didn't know what Barregon was working on recently, but you noticed something." "What do you mean?"
"About that." Luigi continued, "Didn't I mention Sage Pika? He's been going in and out of Barregon's lab for the past few years. I think they're working together.
"As for Sage Pika, he's been researching something called Armed Combat Machines."
"You know, Peluxiu are all very short and small. Facing those giant races in the Mirror Domain, they are basically powerless. So Sage Pika began to study how to fight against the giant races, and he came up with the idea of METAL Machine.
"It's a giant robot with a cockpit inside. Pilucci has to enter the cockpit to control it.
"Only giants can fight against giants. That's Sage Pika's idea."
Angor understood right away. Basically, it was a type of combat armor. He once brought up such an idea and submitted it to Dean Muse. However, he did not pay much attention to whether Dean Muse developed it later or not.
He wasn't unfamiliar with fighter suits. There were plenty of similar designs in his hologram tablet.
What he was curious about was why Pilucci wanted to fight against the giant races.
"The thoughts and considerations of a Sage are definitely different from the thoughts of an ordinary Peluxiu." Luigi shrugged. "Both Sage Pika and Grand Duke Pilucci have their own ambitions. They should at least look at the big picture. They won't necessarily provoke the giant races, but they'll definitely want to have something to fight back against the giant races.
"METAL Machine is Sage Pika's idea," Luigi continued.
"Back to the topic. If Sage Pika is working on METAL Machine now, why does he still have time to meet Barregon? There's only one possibility. They're working together.
"As you know, Barregon is very dissatisfied with his body size. He believes that all his sins are caused by being too small. In this case, if he starts to cooperate with Sage Pika and invent a giant penetrable METAL machine to make himself look like a giant, wouldn't it be reasonable? "
"Therefore, my judgment is that he must have been researching armed war machines as well!"
Angor wasn't sure if Luigi was right or not. But was it really reasonable to make himself look like a giant monster?
METAL Machine was an external object. Couldn't he use something like Transfiguration to make himself bigger?
"You're right. But Barregon's mind is really twisted. Personally, I think that it recognizes the fact that it's miniature, and it also knows that the news of its miniature has spread. If it forcibly uses the transformation spell to enlarge itself, wouldn't it be telling others that it cares about its miniature figure very much? "
But it's different when he's wearing an METAL Machine. An METAL Machine is only an external object. He uses it to increase his strength, not because he's too small. "
To put it bluntly, Barregon had hatred in his heart. His eyes shone brightly, but his body was shackled.
It wasn't twisted. It was embarrassed.
Luigi shrugged. "Of course. This is my own interpretation based on what I know about Barregon. I don't know if that's the truth.
We're about to reach Barregon's territory anyway. If you really want to know, just ask him.
He won't answer me because I can't help him. But you're an alchemist. Maybe he'll ask you for help when he knows who you are. Then you'll know what he's working on, right? "
"And I'll know when you know." Luigi chuckled.
Angor didn't know what to say.
Angor ignored Luigi's suggestion. He was just curious. He didn't really want to get involved.
