Chapter 119: A figure in the night
That night, when Lorain Hill entertained the House of Agetirin, the Tisiphones were also in contention.
"Why don't you let that alchemist attack directly and sweep away Karitas's fleet."
Due to the bombing of the headquarters of the Aniemiy Chamber of Commerce, there were many casualties, but fortunately, Feng Nai was evacuated in advance, and the consequences of staying at home were unimaginable.
But Noyce is still very dissatisfied, the Tisiphone family obviously has this king bomb hole card, why not just do it, just solve the problem that night, you have to dream a lot.
"Lord Noyce is angry, and there is a reason why he didn't do it directly that night." Wick explained.
"Although this master has been arranged within the organization to assist us, Master Zenep has his own code of conduct, and at present, on the surface, Rourna cannot directly interfere with Verga's side, first, the time is not yet ripe, and second, there are many other masters of the Xuehua Union in the city, and rashly doing it will also cause their disgust and resistance, because it will violate the covenant of the Xuehua Union for hundreds of years."
"But now that the organization has come to this point, it is destined that the covenant that once existed would be broken." Noyce was dismissive of this.
"We will eventually establish a new order."
"The former leader of the Alliance, the Nation of Zephyr, is now too weak to take care of itself, and the organization has taken advantage of this to expand its strength, unifying the countries with thunderous means and forging an alliance as unbreakable as steel to confront and suppress the Verdant Empire." Neuss does not endorse the current approach.
"I know that Lord Noyce has a big heart and a wise vision, but others are not as sane and wise as you, and it will take a little time for the general public to accept this fact and change." Adelley spoke at this point.
"But don't be too anxious, there's already news from the organization, and in two days there will be an envoy with an official document, and we have recently learned of an unexpected piece of good news."
At this point, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Adelley's mouth.
"Maybe when the time comes, we will be able to take down two of them without bloodshed."
——
After seeing off the people of the Agetilin family, Lorain Hill sat in his study, picking up a pen and writing letters.
There was the occasional slight insect chirp outside the window, but it was much less than in summer, and on the candlesticks of the five candles, translucent wax oil overflowed and condensed along the wax body into teardrop-like shapes.
The candle flame burned quietly, and sometimes the night wind blew the curtains, shaking the orange candlelight, reflecting the girl's figure on the bookshelf behind her, and it was very long.
The hair on the shoulders was still a little wet and faintly scented with flowers, and occasionally a drop or two of water slipped down the hair and dripped on the skirt and desk.
After Lorain Hill had written to Seres in the Southern Isles, telling him about the recent situation and some of the things she wanted him to do, she thought for a moment and wrapped one of Angus's suicide notes in an envelope.
After rolling up the envelope and putting it in the bamboo tube, after closing the lid of the bamboo tube, she picked up a silver spoon and took out a few purple sealing wax blocks from the box and put them in it.
The spoon containing the wax block is placed on the candle flame and baked, and slowly, the sealing wax in it begins to melt, giving off a faint rosin fragrance.
Lorain Hill poured the melted sealing wax on the bamboo tube lid with a spoon, let it fill the surface and edges, seal the gap between the lid and the barrel mouth, and then picked up the metal seal for the head of the chamber of commerce, covered it, used a little force, and let it cool for a while before removing it.
Finally, a delicate lacquer night flower was formed on the seal, the color was like a violet, and this bamboo tube was handed to the waiting Demoiselle Eagle on the windowsill, this guy was a little stronger than before, and with the strength of Sequence 2, he was now dedicated to sending important and distant letters.
Tie up the bamboo tube, and feed the gluttonous big creature a primordial gem as a reward, it chirped happily, and then flew into the distant sky along the moonlight.
Letting go of her previous worries, Lorain Hill was about to go to bed, when she heard a cacophony coming from the door of the Chamber of Commerce in the distance.
Stamping her foot slightly, she was a little annoyed why her hearing was so good, and she couldn't go to sleep if she wanted to be lazy.
Listening to the pleading sounds coming from outside from time to time, Lorain Hill sighed and decided to go downstairs to take 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, save us."
"The Nyssos men are looking for us all over the streets."
"They're going to vent their anger on us."
"Kind Miss Lacey, please save us poor people."
The men were wounded and stained with a lot of dust, and it seems that they had fled here after hiding everywhere.
The guards of the Kalites family at the gate seemed to be a little impatient, although these people were pitiful, but their origin was unknown, and now it was a tense and critical moment, they would not relent.
Besides, Miss Lacey is also what they want to see, Lord Lacey is now the only backbone of Karitas, and he doesn't dare to disturb Miss Lady's rest for such a trivial matter.
"You'd better go, even though we're now at odds with the Nissos family, we won't let you in, unless."
"Unless I give permission, right?"
The figure of Lorain Hill appeared at the gate, and a light voice sounded in the night.
"Miss, I'm sorry to disturb you." Several guards next to him hurriedly saluted and replied a little panicked.
"Nothing. Let me ask these people. ”
Lorain Hill looked at them, then waved his pure white sleeves and asked the guards to open the iron gate for the time being, allowing them to come in and talk.
Several rescuers followed the girl to the brightly lit place, and only then did they see the eldest lady of the Karitas family.
Although the pure white dress was beautiful, it was a little thin in the autumn night, and her golden hair shone in the firelight, and the appearance under the hair was as rumored, peerless and dreamy, and the light blue pupils were as transparent as crystal, and as clear as the sky.
"Now, can you tell us about your experience?"
Several of the guards then brought chairs for the men to sit down, while Loren Hill sat behind a small round table with the maids' freshly heated teapots and cups.
"We are the leaders of the protest to the Nissos house some time ago." One of them opened his mouth to introduce himself.
"But after that night, Glitter disappeared, and we were hunted down by the Nissos, and several of our companions were destroyed by the Nissos thugs."
"But then, it is said that one of the important thugs and younger brother of the Nissos family died, and the other people who took the money from the Nisos family and betrayed also disappeared."
"Fenton felt that someone was deliberately challenging the dignity of the Nissos family, so he began to send people to hunt down those of us who had been involved before."
"And we decided that we did it, because we had great motivations."
"Although it wasn't our hands, I still have to say that the herd of animals died well!" One of them was a little excited.
"But now that the three chambers of commerce have sealed off the city gates, we have nowhere to run but to ask you or the Helis family for help."
After these people finished explaining, they began to ask Lacey for help.
"But what good can I Karitas do to save you? And who can guarantee that you are telling the truth and not sneaking in as assassins? ”
Before Lorain Hill could speak, the maid's cold voice came from behind him.
