Chapter 177: Collection

Large swaths of collapsed houses have left the imperial capital, the most prosperous city in the empire, in shambles. Displaced people wander the streets, enduring the last chill of winter. Although spring has arrived, there is no warmth in people's hearts.

Faced with such a situation, Rossi sent a large number of priests to the streets to help these people in need. Some hot food, some warm clothing, and plenty of building materials. The believers in the imperial capital are growing at an exaggerated rate, and the church gives them hope to live and a future.

In such an environment, Rossi received a not-so-good news.

In the process of leaving the city, Bai Li was separated along with the evacuees.

She suddenly remembered something, said she was going home, but she never showed up again.

How dangerous the imperial capital is surrounded by artillery fire, it is difficult for those who have not experienced yesterday to imagine. The screaming shells could land on their heads at any time and place, and the scattered soldiers were also a group of people full of threats. All of them may threaten Parkly's life.

Although everyone guessed Bai Li's situation at this time with the greatest kindness and yearning for good, everyone's hearts were sinking. Her mother had fainted several times from crying, and each time she woke up crying bitterly until she fainted again.

Rosie has arranged for a number of people to search for Parkly's whereabouts, but has not found any useful clues.

A large city with a population of 7 million people was suddenly faced with artillery fire and war, and it had long been chaotic, and who could notice the trace of a little girl? For a whole day, there was not a trace of news, which was enough to make people despair.

Parkback is no ordinary little girl, she has an adult mentality, she knows the way, if it hadn't been for the accident, she would have returned to the church, or gone outside the city. But she didn't, like a stone thrown into the abyss, and disappeared into the darkness at once.

Rosie couldn't feel Bai Li, and the thread of faith related to Bai Li became disconnected, and he knew that this phenomenon was nothing more than two situations.

Her faith had collapsed, or she was on the verge of death.

The former is almost impossible, because Parkie is Rosie's first true believer, Rosie saved her desperate life and family, and she will not easily change her faith.

And the latter .......

A thousand words can only turn into a sigh.

Rosie has a lot of things, and the most important thing is to raid his home.

Raiding the house is the only magic weapon to make a fortune, and it is also a rewarding assignment. Almost all of Fabio's supporters have been assigned such tasks, which can be regarded as a benefit within the group.

The object of Rossi's raid was Heinsses.

Firth took Heinsy's family and the deployment that remained loyal to them to the Republic, and left in such a hurry that the manor outside the city left almost without having time to pack up. The mansion in the city was also destroyed by Francisco's shelling. But even so, this job still has a very lucrative amount of oil and water.

Outside the city, in Heinsea's manor, the servants knelt tremblingly on the side of the road, their bodies shackled and shackled, their faces full of twisted expressions of horror. They don't know where their future is, what they will be treated with, and they can only beg for forgiveness from fate.

Hano's leather whip was proud, and Heinse's butler, his mantle, stood in front of him in a dejected state, and he commanded the Divine Knights to carefully carry the artworks that could be found throughout the manor to the carriage and carry them back to the church.

"Is there anything else?", Hano whipped the butler on the back, and the butler, who was only wearing a single coat, suddenly wailed, "Yes, yes, some masters, there is also a secret room in the study." ”

Hano nodded with satisfaction, once upon a time, Heinsea's butler didn't pretend to look at those dukes, or even look at people squarely, but now, he is like a dog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy in front of himself in order to survive, which makes him feel a particularly strong sense of satisfaction.

As soon as Hano turned around, he changed into clothes and looked flattering, and ran to Rosie on tiptoe, "Master Rosie, there are still inside!"

Rossi was admiring an oil painting, the work of a master from five hundred years ago, whose work had been commented on by a great collector of the Federation, in just four words - touching the soul.

Rossi didn't know how to appreciate it, but when he saw this "Dinner", he felt the mentality and emotional fluctuations of the characters in the painting from the stacking of countless colors in the painting. There seems to be whispers from the characters in the paintings to each other, this is a treasure that can be passed down to the world!

He wiped his face, carefully placed the painting in a velvet-padded storage box, and after a word of instruction to keep it safe, he followed Hano up the stairs.

Heinseas's study is very generous, and a study room is nearly 100 square meters, which is completely equivalent to the area of an ordinary family house. There are four huge double-sided bookcases in this study, and the bookcases are filled with all kinds of books.

Rosie stepped forward and took out a copy of "Travels to the Eastern Continent", he was slightly stunned and immediately opened it.

The Eastern Continent refers to another huge continent in this world, inhabited by a completely different race from the Western Continent. They are like Asia on Earth, a mysterious country rich in silk and porcelain.

There is an endless ocean between the two continents, and the unpredictable ocean climate makes communication between Eastern and Western civilizations very rare. Every year, a large number of merchants leave the coast on the best ocean-going sailing ships, hoping to find a stable sea route to the East. Ten people go out, at most one person can come back, and it is not necessarily possible to go to the East.

In the Western world, silk and porcelain from the East are synonymous with sky-high prices, and even in some transactions involving astronomical amounts, porcelain replaces the existence of money.

The book was written by a sailor named Luccan Spectrum, who had been an ordinary sailor in his early years, but was hired by an avid sea gold prospector to embark on a great ship to the East with a huge commission. A total of nearly 10,000 people and more than 50 ocean-going ships set out, but less than 10 ships and less than 2,000 people finally arrived in the east.

In his description, the East is a place full of exotic cultures, where the people speak the language of the devil and their words are imbued with a mystical color. These Orientals were very martial, and almost all of them carried weapons. They are also very powerful, and some roadside entertainers even dare to lie on beds made of knives and let others sit or stand on them.

During his three months in the East, Lu Ken saw many strange things, such as a culture called "chivalry" and a pursuit called "Tao".

Three months later, he set out on his way home with the prospectors exchanging less than 50,000 gold coins for ten boatloads of porcelain, worth as many as the stars in the sky.

This time, the luck of Lu Ken and his party was not so good, the unpredictable sea made people desperate, and the group was all buried at the bottom of the sea, leaving Lu Ken alone to float back in a patchwork boat.

No one believed that he had been to the East, and no one believed in the whole ten boatloads of porcelain, people just thought of him as a madman.

He wrote his story into a book, which was called the rhapsody of the psychopath, and the sales were actually good, and he made a lot of money.
