Fireworks are in full bloom in the sky, and residents and visitors in Hopelander are still in the festive atmosphere, but a dark tide begins to surge in the remote corners of the city.
One by one hurrying figures kept walking through the streets. They knocked on the closed shops and doors, and opened the dusty warehouses one by one.
A middle-aged man who had just fallen asleep opened the door drowsily. Those who wondered who would knock on the door so late.
A dusty figure stood at the door, wearing a short robe, and his face was indistinct in the dark night.
"Is it Emerson?" the hurried guest asked succinctly.
"Yes." The middle-aged man was a little puzzled. Who would it be for coming to me so late
After hearing the affirmative answer, the man in the short robe raised the parchment in his hand and said.
"The Tisifones have helped you in the past, and now is the time to keep your promise."
Under the shadow of the brass lantern, the parchment scroll was clearly written in black writing, and the inscription was the owner and heir of the Tisifone family.
At the same time, there are three bright red seals on the bottom of the parchment scroll, which are 'Dagger pierced through the skull', 'Seven-colored gem flowers' and 'Tilt wine bottle', symbolizing the most powerful chamber of commerce in Hopelander, Tisifone, A Joint Statement of Nemie and Nissos.
Looking at the shocking red ink pad, the middle-aged man suddenly woke up, without any sleepiness, he asked in shock.
"Is it now?"
"Yes, bring your weapons, put on your armor, lock the door, draw the pattern of three long swords crossed on the door, and immediately gather at the Tisifone Chamber of Commerce."
"If there are no weapons and armors, the Chamber of Commerce will also prepare them, but it may not be a match."
"okay, I get it."
The middle-aged man nodded solemnly, and the messenger who notified him did not stay after his goal was achieved, and immediately went to the next house.
The middle-aged man rushed back to the bedroom and quickly lifted the bed board to reveal the low and long wooden box that was locked underneath.
Opening the lock, there was a large sword wrapped in oiled paper and a set of chain mail. He immediately began to take off his inappropriate jacket and began to wear it.
"Dad, what happened, your voice is very loud?" A young girl's voice came from the next room.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, then continued to wear the chainmail, and said with a warning: "I will lock the door when Dad is going out, remember, no matter what happens outside tonight, don't open the door. ."
"What's wrong? Dad..."
A little girl in a light-colored nightdress opened the door. Seeing that her father was wearing chainmail and holding a cold two-handed sword, her eyes widened in surprise.
"I don't have time to explain it to you, baby, don't worry about Daddy, Daddy will be back in a few days. There's still food in the cellar, don't starve yourself, and don't open the door, no matter who it is, no matter what you hear. That kind of sound, do you understand?"
"I understand." The little girl looked at her father obediently and nodded.
"Okay, okay, my good Shanna."
The middle-aged man looked at his sensible daughter, hugged her with his rough and calloused palms, and then touched her head lovingly.
After that, he took out a white chalk, drew three crossed long swords on the door, asked his daughter to lock the door, and finally rushed into the dark night without looking back.
Such a scene happened all over the city of Hopelander. Horses and carts with the logos of the three major chambers of commerce rushed through the streets, and the hawkers and tourists on the side of the road were shocked and had to avoid them.
Hopelander's top five chambers of commerce, except for the newly promoted Karites family in the past ten years, are all deeply rooted. I don't know how many personal connections and relationships have been accumulated in the past hundred years. It is also expected that even if there is no Mrs. Mera, there will be Mrs. Sela, Mrs. Mera and so on. If Angus hadn't reconciled earlier, the newly promoted Carrites would not necessarily be able to fight. past the Helles house.
The powers of several major chambers of commerce in the city are intertwined, and some outsiders are even more among you and me, and you are among me. When the three families move here, the Helis family immediately received the news.
"Miss, now the other three houses in Hopelander City have suddenly started to call in people, and even the informant said that they have prepared weapons and are ready to fight at any time."
Under the dim candlelight, Mei Lu had just walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas. Outside the door, there were several people who reported the news, along with the family's guard captains, waiting for orders.
Although I don't know the specific purpose of the other three, it is certain that they must deal with the Karites and the Helis family, because Hopelander has no other people except the two big chambers of commerce. Qualifications are so inspiring.
Mei Lu had a serious expression and ordered without any hesitation after hearing the news.
"Immediately send a messenger to inform Karites, let them know the seriousness of the situation, and ring the big bell to call up everyone in the chamber of commerce. In addition, we have old, good friends in the city who often cooperate with us. These people immediately sent familiar people to inform them one by one, and asked them to transfer to our Chamber of Commerce headquarters immediately, the reason is that there will be civil unrest in Hopeland tonight, and the Helis family will protect them."
"Every family said it twice. If you don't listen, don't worry about it and change to the next family."
"Yes, eldest miss." Several high-level executives who obeyed the orders immediately acted.
"In addition, send someone to open the underground warehouse of the Chamber of Commerce, take out the weapons and armor, distribute weapons to everyone, and then each of you well-disciplined guards will bring a team of ordinary personnel. Every experienced guard is the captain, immediately Organize all the people in the chamber of commerce."
"Your will, Miss." Several guard captains also hurried out.
After that, Mei Lu looked at the only remaining captain of the guard, the existence of Sequence 4 was the son of her mother's brother, her cousin.
"Brother Gerde, please organize people to guard the gate tonight, please."
"Don't worry, Mei Lu, I will protect you." The guard wearing the dark golden armor looked at his younger sister with concern, promised, and then walked out quickly, leaving a broad back.
Mei Lu stood under the window sill in the corridor and watched the rapid bell tolling in the courtyard, and then scattered lights came on. There were people running and walking everywhere, the sound of armor rubbing against each other, footsteps, shouts, and objects. The sound of moving and competing sounded, making it extraordinarily noisy at night.
"Miss, why are you still wearing thin pajamas? That's not acceptable."
The head maid walked up the stairs, looked at Meru who was still standing by the corridor window, and shouted loudly.
"I remember that the master had collected several pieces of extraordinary soft armor before, and I will find them for you immediately. You are the head of the family now. If there is an accident, the Helis family will be over."
"It's okay, Aunt Lig, I believe everyone."
"Also, if even I were faced with swords and swords, then the Helis family would not have many lives." Mei Lu turned her head, and the figure under the silver moonlight seemed a little lonely.
"No, you must wear it. You are still as disobedient as you were when you were young. The master doesn't dare to care about you now, but I dare, I raised you with one hand."
The head maid forcibly dragged Meru back to the bedroom, still talking.
"I take care of you more than I take care of my own children. If something happens to you, I can't stand it."
Mei Lu was pulled, and although she did not admit it, there was a faint tear in the corner of her eyes.
