219 Stefano
"Bastard!"
Stefano cursed inwardly and flashed out of the void.
Just a second ago, he was still walking through the void, there was no space limit, his speed would be faster, and he would be able to help the master clean up in the shortest time, and then, catch up to protect the master's house.
However, just a second ago, he suddenly felt a sense in his heart.
In the next second, he shuttled out of the void crack, not because he couldn't catch it, but because the void had a mutation, it seemed that there was a shock, if he continued to walk through the void, maybe something unbearable would happen.
This intuitive feeling should not be ignored.
So, he emerged from the void.
Originally, his positioning was that room, at the beginning, he kept his own scissors there, the scissors had his breath on them, long-distance void shuttle, as long as it was more than ten meters, he needed similar things to locate, otherwise, he would be lost in the void, I don't know where to go, the void talent, there are strong and weak, not everyone can do what they want.
However, because of the mutation in the void, he could only get out of the void crack halfway.
Because the time is quite short and the distance is not long, even if he fails to come out of the established position, Stefano will not get lost in the void.
The place where he appeared was in a dark corridor, and the walls on both sides were covered with gorgeous wallpaper, with many exquisite patterns on them, but the color of the wallpaper was a little gray, so even with the light of the magic stone lamp, this corridor did not bring people a warm feeling, but had an eerie atmosphere, as if there were countless ghosts constantly wandering and making silent screams.
If you are a little more timid, you may be scared to pee.
"Shit!"
A pale Stefano cursed again.
This is just his mantra, in fact, for the current location, he is quite satisfied, this is the corridor on the top floor, a few steps forward is the room where the target is, he only needs to walk through this corridor, go to the end, push open the door, go in and kill the girl who was held hostage by them, and then, you can go after his own patron, you know, he must be inseparable from the person he protects, as long as it is outside, as long as it is not in the family base camp, the time between the two must not exceed five minutes, this is a hard ruleใ
As a dead man, this is what he must do.
Stefano was the deceased of the Alfonso family.
In the whole of Reims City, if the Leslie family of Swan Castle is the existence of the thumb, then the Alfonso family, which has been married to the Leslie family for generations, is the same as the index finger and middle thumb, this huge family has a strong influence in Reims City and even in the entire southern part of the empire, and the network of relationships formed by this family is actually not much worse than the Leslie family.
The power of the family is actually quite huge, and even the power that is displayed is intimidating.
However, just as only a tenth of the iceberg appears on the surface of the sea, and there is a larger body under the surface of the sea, the hidden strength of the Alfonso family is difficult for outsiders to understand, but this family must have a secret realm-like existence, otherwise, it is impossible to maintain a powerful super team, and it is impossible to create a transcendent dead like Stefano.
This family is not actually a native of Reims, and even the blood of the ancient ancestors is not French.
This family migrated from the Iberian Peninsula and is said to have the blood of the Sinian royal family, which, of course, does not refer to the current Sinian dynasty, but to the previous generation, when the Iberian Peninsula had not yet been invaded by the Amurs and was still a unified state, and not as it is now, divided into two states, Sinia and Portuguese.
The Amurs invaded on a large scale, and in the resistance, the Kingdom of Sinia collapsed, and most of the royal family members died in battle, but, just like the cunning rabbit had three holes, the royal family at that time was also divided into several branches, among them, one went north to the French Empire, and then, it was divided into two, one went north to France for help, and the other stayed in the south of the empire.
At that time, the group that went north to ask for help wanted Fran to help Sinia recover.
Later, this wish was granted, but after the Amurs were driven out of the Iberian Peninsula by the French army, the Kingdom of Sinia was re-established, and the one who sat on the throne was only half of the Sinian royal blood.
A certain lady of the northern branch was valued by the three princes of the empire at that time, and then a sad and weeping love story was born, in order to personally avenge the princess, the three princes even went to the battlefield in person, and successfully drove the Amurs out of the peninsula in the final decisive Iberian battle.
Later, the third prince married the princess.
Later, the third prince became the new king in Marais, the capital of Sinia.
Later, when the princess died childless, the three princes married the daughter of a Grand Duke of Sinia, and their eldest son became the new king of Sinia.
Since then, the blood of the Alfonso family has nothing to do with the throne of Sinia.
However, Portot, now located in the northwest of the peninsula, has the blood of the Alfonso family, which was supported by the British after decades of civil war, and the Portuese, which only occupies a corner of the country, is the real Sinia, but it is not recognized by the mainlanders.
On the road, the influence of the French Empire still exceeds that of the British.
After all, the French Empire still followed the tradition, even if it once confronted the Templars, but after all, the two fought but did not break, unlike the British who rebelled, and once set up another Holy See and called it Protestantism, which disgraced the Templars, but because of the powerful navy of the British, and the existence of several great grandmasters, they had to swallow their anger and acquiesce.
The civil war in the Iberian Peninsula also arose during this time, and in the north of the French Empire, there were also several wars, known as the Thirty Years' Holy War.
Now, it is a short period of peace and prosperity.
The Church and the British also reached a tacit understanding, on the surface, the British removed their own Holy See and still respected Paradise Hill, but in fact, the Church on the British Isle is actually its own, and all the parish priests are from Big Ben Church, not from Paradise Hill on the Roman Peninsula.
Will this situation continue?
No one can know......
Having said that, the Alfonso family in Reims City has the blood of the ancient Sinian royal family, and is also a member of the blue-blooded nobles, and in the entire Reims City, there are actually very few blue-blooded nobles.
With such a background, such a relationship, and a strong heritage, it is not surprising that the Alfonso family is once again rising.
Only such a powerful old family can create a dead man like Stefano.
No matter how rich the emerging family is, it is at a loss in this regard, which requires ancient alchemy and extremely strange and secret recipes.
Unlike most people think that the dead soldiers are some careless guys, the dead soldiers like Stefano in the Alfonso family actually have families, and they are all originally servants of the family, even if the French Empire has issued a decree that slaves are not allowed, and everyone is free.
You can hire someone else, during the contract, they will serve you, do the work specified in the contract, and after the contract is over, they will be very friendly with each other, and if the cooperation is very pleasant, then sign another contract, and the maximum time of this employment relationship is limited to ten years.
The original intention of this decree must have been aimed at the wealthy families of the empire, to change the feudal relationship of personal dependency, to allow the movement of people, and to win labor for a large number of new factories.
This process also happened in Shui Lanxing, where Gu Chaoyang is located, and it is the transition from feudalism to capital.
It's just that there is no extraordinary power on the water blue star, and the economic base determines the superstructure, so although the process of capital replacing the feudal aristocracy is also painful, there are also repeated, and countless bloody and tragic things have happened, in the end, the general trend is irreversible, with the help of various scientific and technological developments and wars, capital has successfully gained a dominant position.
In the generation that Gu Chaoyang traveled through, the power of capital was still unbreakable.
In this world, because of the existence of extraordinary power, whether it is feudal or capital, in fact, it is always the powerful transcendent who occupies the dominant position.
They are the ones who are at the helm of the times.
Because of its strong power, the French Empire was able to issue such a decree, and with such a law, the powerful families of the empire could only raise their hands and agree.
Of course, consent is consent, and it is difficult to say whether the law will be enforced.
Yang and yin are violated, this word can work in any world.
The Stefano family had been servants of the Alfonso family for generations, and in the beginning, they were no more than lords, that is, farmers who cultivated the land for the family, and everything they owned belonged to the family, even themselves were the private property of the family.
Stefano had a talent, but he wasn't talented enough to make him an extraordinary, even if he swallowed potions, there was only a 1 percent chance at most.
However, Alfonso had a secret way to make this one percent possible and that ninety-nine percent of the failures to be non-existent.
It's just that in doing so, Stefano can only stay at the first order for the rest of his life, and it will never be possible to open up a new energy space, and his lifespan will be shortened.
There were two paths in front of him, and the family said it clearly.
One is not acceptable, then, everything is business as usual.
One is to accept, their family will be taken care of, in the family ledger, their family will get a lot of points, the children will be taken care of, can be educated, can become the companions of the young masters, and will even become a steward in the future, and it is also very likely to go to the family control company as a manager.
Without the slightest hesitation, Stefano chose the latter.
Basically, no one will give up.
This is also the reason why Stefano, as a transcendent being, obeys the words of the gentleman who knows nothing, and power can sometimes decide everything.
After taking two steps forward, Stefano suddenly stopped, raised his right foot in the air, and did not fall forward, but backwards, gently lowering.
His expression became solemn.
