At night, the soft sea breeze rolls up the curtains and then falls again. Through the high windows, you can see the lights of thousands of homes in Hopeland, and the chirping of insects is heard from time to time in the courtyard.
Lorraine Hill sat at the desk, reading some letters from the branch by the bright candlelight.
The papyrus felt rough and thick, and the black writing was very clear under the orange candlelight.
Dear Miss Lacey:
Below is Lucas from the Westwind North Branch, here to report something to you. In recent months, a large-scale uprising of miners and peasants broke out in the northern Nedshire. These miners refused to pay heavy taxes and ore, and broke through many warehouses in the county, obtaining a lot of steel and other metals. Organize and build weapons and armor to arm yourself.
One thing I need to highlight is that they are very organized, or very disciplined, and there must be a group of well-educated people leading them. This group of people also maintained good local order immediately after independence, and many of our stores in the county were not looted or damaged.
After the incident, the Duke of Rock Wall in the north began to gather vassals and other nobles in the castle, and finally formed a coalition force of nearly 120,000 to go to suppress it. When I wrote this letter, the two sides had already carried out in the Chi desert wilderness three days ago. decisive battle. The independent army did not avoid the battle. They defeated the coalition army led by the Duke of Yanbi on the frontal battlefield. The elite army of Orichalcum Sheep was annihilated. The Duke of Yanbi fled after the war, disguised as a farmer in the countryside, and was killed yesterday. Captured, because his skin is too white and his hands have no calluses from labor, maybe he would be better dressed as a businessman.
Now the independent army is preparing to close the city for investigation. It is said that they want to settle the crimes committed by the nobles and merchants. Although our branch has not violated the laws of the west wind, it is also closely monitored. This letter was written by me in the middle of the night. It was spread by the letter bird of the Chamber of Commerce. I can't predict what will happen in the future. If something goes wrong, I implore the eldest lady to give some care to my family, who live in Sequoia County in Verga.
Finally, from the occasional talk of those independent troops, their leader was named Pullman, who claimed to have received the teaching and inspiration of a great sage, and would build an ideal country on the mainland. If it was before, I would only laugh at them. However, through the observation these days, my concept is a little shaken. It is really possible for them to replace Xifeng in a few years. I hope that the top management of the chamber of commerce will pay attention to this matter and make preparations early.
1684, the night of August 24
Lucas, in Gravel City
The corners of the letter were a little wet, and it seemed that the letterbirds had been drenched in the rain on the road. In addition, there were a few words written hastily on the back of the letter.
"The great sage's name is Roland Hill, and no one has seen his appearance."
The girl read it several times, her mood was a little complicated, with surprise, sigh, joy, worry, anxiety and other emotions surrounding her.
Who would have thought that a small branch that was planted at random back then turned into a towering tree, or the kind that shocked the world.
Mino Yuying, who delivered the letter, stood on the special stand of the desk, motionless, staring at the girl. This kind of creature has the strength of Sequence 1, and the branch of Karites has one. Generally, only emergencies will let it send letters. It flies so high that ordinary people cannot stop it.
The girl slowly stroked the letter with her hand. After a long time, her mood slowly calmed down. She looked up at the Minoyu Eagle, which had not yet flown away, and remembered that she hadn't given it a 'reward', so she rang the bell and let the door open. The maid outside prepares a delicious meal for this little guy.
Now that Pullman has come this far, it is impossible for him to look back. Should he help him or not
Since she imparted this knowledge to Pullman, she naturally couldn't just sit back and ignore it, she definitely wanted to help.
"Sword Comes"
Help, to what extent? Just some verbal advice, or to help him plan, or to devote himself to this great cause.
Just verbal advice makes the girl feel a little irresponsible. If she is fully committed, she is not ready for this, ready to participate in the huge vortex of this era, this violent eye of the storm.
She thinks that she is not that strong and firm yet. The power here includes strength, xinxing, consciousness and so on.
Let's not meet Pullman for the time being. Thinking back on this former teenager, Roland Hill maliciously speculated that this guy would hold her and not let her go as soon as they met, and then it would be difficult to shirk.
But she would still give Pullman some help secretly, and if necessary, would write to him to solve and answer some of his questions.
When the girl was thinking, her hair twirled and twisted and twisted on her hands.
Alas, it's a little annoying, Loren Hill put his chin on his arm and tilted his head to look at his hair.
She originally thought that she would continue to live in seclusion in the forest after the matter with Verga was resolved. She was someone who was more afraid of trouble and preferred to be alone. But the education and character she received since childhood gave her a good sense of responsibility.
Let her avoid some things without heart and soul, and she can't let go, so she has to keep her promise and do some things. Although it is not annoying, she still likes a more free life.
It seemed that she had to speed up her progress. She buried her head in her arms, and she meditated in her heart. The silky strands of hair were loosened from her fingertips and scattered on her shoulders.
---------------------
Three days later, the headquarters of the Karites Chamber of Commerce sent various letters, causing the branches of the West Wind to start shrinking, leaving a small number of necessary personnel, and the others began to withdraw from the West Wind and return to Verga to prevent the war from being affected.
The three major fleets of the Chamber of Commerce, "Swordfish", "Tradewind" and "White Bird", have all been recalled, and the branch presidents from all over the country have been called to participate in the discussion in Hopelander.
The Karites Chamber of Commerce organizes personnel to set up an intelligence analysis department to adjust trade strategies in the future.
No longer rejecting invitations from other Hoplander families, Loren Hill will attend some recent banquets to meet representatives and owners of other chambers of commerce.
In the end, Loren Hill also asked the following stewards to select and recommend young people with excellent qualities to impart extraordinary knowledge and organize training. She will give advanced information to the extraordinary job agency based on her specialties and qualifications.
The girl was sitting at the desk, holding a pen and writing all kinds of plans seriously, her long blond hair was draped over a red dress.
She started planning various things, and then prepared several tables to sort out and analyze.
The burning candle swayed in the evening wind, and the figure on the desk was pulled very long.
