That night, when Lorraine Hill entertained the Agtilin family, the Tisifone family was also involved in an argument.
"Why not let the alchemist attack directly and clean up the fleet of Karites."
Since the headquarters of the Anemii Chamber of Commerce was bombed, there were many casualties. Fortunately, Feng Nai was transferred out in advance. If he stayed at home, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Noyce was still very dissatisfied. The Tisifone family obviously had this trump card for the king, so why not do it directly and solve the problem that night.
"Lord Noyce calm down, there is a reason why he didn't act directly that night." Wick explained aside.
"Although the organization has arranged for this master to assist us, Master Zenep has his own rules of conduct. At present, Rourna can't directly interfere with Verga's side. One is that the time is not ripe, and the other is that the city is still There are many other masters of Xuehua United who rashly act, which will also arouse their disgust and boycott, because this will violate the covenant of Xuehua United for hundreds of years."
"But since the organization has come this far, it is also doomed that the former covenant will be broken." Noyce dismissed this.
"We will eventually establish a new order."
"The country of the West Wind, the former leader of the alliance, is currently overwhelmed and weak. The organization is also taking this opportunity to expand its strength, unite the countries by means of thunder, and create an alliance as unbreakable as steel to confront and suppress the Green Empire." Noyce did not agree. current course of action.
"I know that Lord Noyce has a broad mind and a wise vision, but others are not as sensible and wise as you. It will take a little time for the general public to accept this fact and change." Adeley spoke at this time.
"But you don't have to worry too much. There has been news from the organization. In two days, there will be a messenger with an official document. Besides, we recently learned an unexpected good news."
Speaking of which, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Adrien's mouth.
"Maybe at that time, you will be able to win both of them without bloodshed."
------------------------------
After sending off the Agatilin family, Roland Hill sat in the study, writing letters with a pen.
Occasionally there was a slight insect chirping outside the window, but it was much less than in summer. On the candlestick with five candles burning, the translucent wax oil overflowed and condensed into a teardrop-like shape along the wax body.
The candle burns quietly, and sometimes the night wind blows the curtains and shakes the orange candle light, reflecting the girl's figure on the bookshelf behind, pulling it for a long time.
The hair on the shoulders is still a bit wet, exuding a faint floral fragrance, and occasionally a drop or two of water drops along the hair and drips onto the skirt and desk.
Lorraine Hill wrote a letter to Ceres in the Southern Islands, telling him about the recent situation and some things he wanted him to do. After writing, she thought about it and put a suicide note from Angus into it. The envelope is wrapped.
After that, she rolled up the envelope and put it into the bamboo tube. After closing the lid of the bamboo tube, she picked up a silver spoon, and then took out a few purple sealing wax blocks from the box and put it into it.
Bake the spoon with the wax block on the candle flame, slowly, the sealing wax begins to melt, giving off a faint rosin.
Lorraine Hill used a spoon to pour the melted sealing wax onto the lid of the bamboo cylinder, let it fill the surface and edges, seal the gap between the lid and the mouth of the cylinder, and then picked up the metal seal dedicated to the owner of the chamber of commerce and put it on it, slightly. Use force and let it cool down for a while before removing it.
In the end, a delicate lacquer night flower fire lacquer was formed on the seal. The color was like violet. Give this bamboo tube to the hawk who was waiting on the window sill. This guy is stronger than before. With the strength of Sequence 2, he now uses it exclusively. to send important and distant letters.
Tie up the bamboo tube, and then feed the greedy big guy a primitive gem as a reward. It chirps happily a few times, and then flies to the distant sky along the moonlight.
Putting down her previous worries, Roland Hill was about to go to sleep when she heard a loud noise from the door of the chamber of commerce in the distance.
After stomping her feet a little, she was a little annoyed why her hearing was so good, and she couldn't go to bed if she wanted to be lazy.
Hearing the occasional pleading outside, Roland Hill sighed and decided to go downstairs to have a look.
Outside the heavily guarded gate of the Chamber of Commerce, there were about seven or eight people, constantly kneeling and begging for help.
"Please, please save us."
"The group of executioners from the Nissos family are looking for us all over the street."
"They're going to take our anger out on us"
"The benevolent Miss Lacey, please save us poor people."
These people were injured and had a lot of dust and stains, and it seemed that they had escaped here after hiding everywhere.
The guards of the Karites family at the gate seemed a little impatient. Although these people were pitiful, their origins were unknown, and it was a tense and critical moment, so they would not let anyone in.
Besides, Miss Lacey is also what they want to see. Lady Lacey is the only backbone of Karites now, and he doesn't dare to disturb Miss Lacey's rest for such a trivial matter.
"You should go. Although we are against the Nissos family now, we will not let you in unless..."
"Unless I give permission?"
Roland Hill's figure appeared at the gate, and a light voice sounded in the night.
"Miss, right... I'm sorry to disturb you." Several guards next to him hurriedly saluted and replied in a panic.
"Nothing... let me ask these people."
Roland Hill looked at these people, then waved his pure white sleeves, and asked the guards to temporarily open the iron gate to let them come in and talk.
Several rescuers followed the girl to a brightly lit place, only to see the eldest lady of the Carrites family.
Although the pure white dress is beautiful, it is a bit thin in the autumn night. Her golden hair is shining under the firelight. The appearance under the hair is as described in the rumors, peerless and dreamy, and the light blue eyes are like crystals. Transparent and clear as the sky.
"Now, can you talk about your experience?"
Afterwards, several guards brought chairs and let these people sit down to say the following, while Roland Hill also sat behind a small round table with teapots and cups that the maids had just heated.
"We were the leaders of the protests against the Nissos family some time ago..." One of them introduced himself.
...
"But after that night, Gretel disappeared, and we were hunted by the Nissos family, and several of our companions were tortured by the Nissos family's thugs."
"But after that, it is said that an important thug and younger brother of the Nissos family died, and several other people who betrayed the Nissos family's money also disappeared."
"Felton felt that this was a deliberate challenge to the dignity of the Nissos family, so he began to send people to hunt down those of us who had been involved before."
"And decided it was us, because we had great motives."
"Although it's not our hands, I still have to say, that group of animals died well!" One of the voices was a little excited.
"But now the three merchants have blocked the city gate, and we have nowhere to escape. We can only ask you or the Helis family for help."
After these people finished explaining, they began to ask Lacey for help.
"But what good will it do for me, Carrites, to save you? Besides, who can guarantee that you are telling the truth and not sneaking in to be an assassin."
Before Roland Hill could speak, the head maid's cold voice came from behind.
