Volume 1 - Showers Chapter 85: Horror (2)

Stella Thomas's lecture record (3):

It's infuriating that those two kids actually ran to wrestle. I slapped Joshua's hand hard, hoping that Mrs. Donavan wouldn't blame me. As for Sunderland, alas, well, I admit, the thug board is not at all a threat to Sunderland. The child's hands were covered with calluses, and he didn't feel any pain at all. But Lena's kid had already taught Sunderland a lesson, and she froze Sunderland's ass and stool together so he couldn't escape. However, while Sunderland would certainly be able to break free with his strength, it obviously meant that he had to go bare-ass in front of everyone.

Today we will talk about the important people and characteristic buildings of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce.

The greedy Ojieda, as well as the leaders of the various federations that are constantly arguing, are usually not competent spokesmen for the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce. As a member of the Humans, Tessa Karloff has a special title of "Grand Envoy" and is responsible for the official spokesperson and messenger work for members of the Ghost Council of Ojieda. Tessa is a former lawyer and involved in the development of the current version of the Chamber of Commerce Treaty, and she is entering middle age, and her wit is accompanied by intelligence and insight. She also has her own ambitions; Her unique position allows her to not only express the wishes of the Ghost Council, but also to fabricate the Guild's policies. Tessa is not the official ruler of the guild - Ojieda still occupies that position - but many believe that disobeying Tessa is tantamount to disobeying the entire chamber of commerce.

"Ma'am! Tell us about the negotiation between Dad and Ojieda! Lena and Josh looked at me expectantly, but I couldn't say. So I told them, 'You're too young to know anything if you weren't in office like Anthony and Givele.' Even Gevilville doesn't know it all—he doesn't have the qualifications yet. ’

"How do I qualify?" This was Joshua's question.

I couldn't resist Joshua's usual questioning, so I told him, 'At least get permission to enter Master Slava's study or council chamber.' ’

"Then do I have the qualifications to be a consultant to Big Brother Anthony?" Joshua's naivety made me want to laugh at it, but I couldn't help it—what young man didn't have the slightest unrealistic fantasy? However, according to Joshua's talent, if he enters the Holy Falcon Empire Wizarding Academy and successfully graduates, I am afraid that it will really be able to achieve it in 5-10 years. But now - apparently wishful thinking.

Then you have to learn this knowledge well, and only those who have inherited wisdom can do great things – not those who sneak out in class to play. I told Joshua so.

The words had a clear effect—the cheerful stinky boy was able to quiet down for a while, but I was not optimistic about the persistence of the effects of those words—the boy was as alive as Donavan had been when he was younger.

The guild hall of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce is Orzhova, sometimes referred to as the Merchant Church. It is a lavish cathedral with extremely high ceilings, designed to make anyone who enters feel small and disproportionate. Exaggerated stained-glass windows and giant marble statues depict a group of wealthy bishops, angels of law enforcement, and ghosts affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce.

Orzhova is located at the crossroads of the Isis Empire and the United States of Sandor, on the border of the highly commercial province of Atum. Behind Özova are the mausoleum districts of Obitov and Vecopa. Orzhova also serves as an important entry point – separating the living from the dead.

When an Orzhov family died, he or she was usually buried in Obitov, a city controlled by Orzhov that was full of mausoleums, monuments, and cellars. Erbitov is guarded by Throwl, a priest, and the occasional Orzhov Zombie. The inscription on Erbitov's tombstone is also said to have changed from time to time, reflecting the fortune of the deceased's family.

Orzhov's trading center was the Velcopa Bank, a massive structure guarded by gargoyles and floating spirits of debt collectors. Not only is the Guild the location where most of its wealth is kept, but it is also where most of the currency circulating on the black market is minted. The core of Waicopa is guarded by a powerful Faceless One, whose voice is said to curse souls.

"I know why people love and hate Orzhov!" Elena's rare speech. What she said proved that she listened carefully to my explanation and thought about it. "If you don't have money when you're fighting, someone will come and give you gold! But if you don't pay back the money after the war, you should be called for debt! That's exactly what Elena said.

"Now, there is an Imperial Silver Wolf here, let it decide your fate!" Michael held a coin in his hand and showed the two of them the pros and cons.

The two looked up, but neither spoke. "The wolf's head side represents Mr. Pickey, and the word side represents Miss Josephine. Whichever side of the coin opens to us, the one wins. With that, Michael tossed the coin into the air. The eyes of the crowd followed the trajectory of the coin as it gradually rose, but no one noticed the inconspicuous light that flickered on the coin.

Coins swirl in the air, wolf heads and words alternate, and the moment when everyone raises their heads seems to be a long time, as if a century had passed. However, in the end, it fell to the ground.

"Words." Michael said. "Congratulations, Miss Josephine, you've been given a chance. As for you, Mr. Pickey, I'm sorry. Come! Send this unfortunate gentleman to the place of execution, and when Miss Josephine gives the information, I will carry it out myself. ”

The jailers dragged Pixie, who had collapsed to the ground, out of the torture chamber, and the executioners were eager to try it — not a hands-on affair, but nominally a paid watch. Although it is not as good as their own hands, they get a salary of 5 copper per person, but the punishment system allows them to be compensated by 1 copper slot.

"Can you say it now? Miss Josephine? Please don't waste your only chance. Kyurem said.

"Opportunity? Do you call this an opportunity? Josephine scoffed.

"If that's not an opportunity, then look at poor Mr. Picksy, and you'll know by that – who and for what you are still sitting here."

"Perhaps." Josephine shrugged her shoulders and continued, "However, since I was captured by you, my fate has been decided. Whether it's the Gruul, you guys, or Gaget, there's no difference in nature. ”

"It seems that you know a lot of things, but you just don't want to say, why is that?" Joseph asked.

"What can I do? Give me a death. Don't dream, Picxi won't say it. Josephine said calmly.

"Not necessarily." Michael looked into Josephine's eyes and said affirmatively.

"That gentleman seems to me to be at the limit." Joseph chimed in.

"I think Pixie will choose to die for the sake of his child, and that's the only way for his child to have a chance to live." Josephine raised an eyebrow and said defiantly.

"Let's see, then, Miss Josephine. I think I've got a way to get Mr. Pickey to speak, why don't we make a bet? Michael said.

"Hah!" An unbelievable smile erupted from the swollen corners of Josephine's mouth, and her otherwise beautiful face now looked like a dough cake. Instead, she could hear a bellows-like in her knocked out teeth: "I see that you enjoy doing things that don't make sense, Donavan-sama. ”

"Does it make sense for you to say that it doesn't matter, miss. If I can get Mr. Pixie to speak, then I'll let you go, and you can choose to settle in Zanmir or serve Lord Slava. Of course, I can also help you get rid of the Wilderness Sacrifice Mark on your body, this is the premise, otherwise your life will be lost when that thing breaks out. Michael said with a smile.

"Have you studied witchcraft?" Josephine asked in surprise.

"Believe it or not."
