On the streets of Turin.

The crowds are getting denser.

The carriages drove through the crowd like schools of fish tracing upstream, and every step was a difficult trek.

It seems that the workers who are still working in the factory have also taken a half-day off in advance, leading their children and family members, with meager salaries, to stop in front of the food stalls or shops selling accessories.

There were also tenant farmers, yeoman farmers, who came from outside the city, who might have set out from their homes in the morning and arrived in Turin at noon.

Lothar walked side by side with Lavinia in the street.

She wore a white cashmere shawl today, with a long black dress with patterns inside, and her whole temperament looked quite noble and elegant, even Lothar felt bright.

"You can look around, but don't be too purposeful, it's too obvious," Lothar reminded. ”

"So what should I do?"

"Follow me."

Miss Judge obviously has no experience in front-line investigations, and she doesn't know how the Bologna family cultivated her when she was a child.

After a moment, Lavinia, holding up the roasted nuts wrapped in paper, looked at Lothar with some blankness.

"Eat, it's better to eat as you go."

"That's a bit of a faux pas, isn't it?"

"Today is the feast of Our Lady of the Coming to the Temple, Our Lady wants everyone to relax, you have to follow the teachings of Our Lady."

"Our Lady said such a thing?"

"I don't know, but this is what Our Lady of my heart should say - give you a holiday today, eat whatever you want, play whatever you want, not today you should fast, bathe, confess, chant."

Lavinia's eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Listening to your description, Our Lady seems to have really become much more amiable. ”

She crushed a nut and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it, and her mouth was full of flavor.

"Looks like your letter worked."

On the streets, members of the Saluzzo family can often be seen, they are more or less disguised, but the unique blood aura on their bodies cannot be hidden from Lothar and Lavinia.

"I'd rather believe it."

Lothar shrugged: "If something happens, Ramdo can't afford that." ”

The power of the Saluzzo family is concentrated in North Apennines, and over the years, some small families, relying on the support of the Yaxie family, have openly and secretly encroached on a lot of shares, and Bologna is also one of them.

If even Turin, which is close to Saluzzo, is taken over by the Yaxie family, even if the family does not dispose of Ramdo, Ramdo himself will not have the face to live anymore.

In comparison, the Bologna family has no such concerns.

"There are more and more people, do these people want to go to the circus?"

"It's all a performance of slaying giants on dragon horses, after all, whether it is a dragon or a giant, they are both legendary species, and they are the most common occurrence in the script - if it is a werewolf hand-to-hand combat, they may not be interested in watching it."

"Is there really a dragon knight?"

Lavinia frowned, skeptical.

Dragon knights have always been a very rare profession, firstly, dragon creatures tend to be violent and unruly, and will not wag their tails and beg for mercy because of some food; Second, it is often difficult to give full play to the combat power of the knight on the back of the dragon in dragon riding combat, and the superposition of the two will only be the result of one plus one less than two.

But it is precisely because of their rarity that dragon knights are all famous in history - such as the famous conqueror of the Ottoman Empire, the monarch of the East who captured Constantinople.

"I think it's enough."

Lothar shook his head: "In recent years, the most famous dragon knight has been the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, riding a land dragon, it is hard to believe that the same character can appear in this circus. ”

He thought for a moment and added, "But since they dare to advertise it like this, at least there will be a pseudo-dragon knight on the scene, otherwise the angry audience will definitely make them regret it." ”

The minimum ticket price of 30 lira is more than the cost of many Turin families for several days, which is not a small amount of money.

When I arrived at the place where I bought the tickets, there were already long queues at the three ticket windows.

Almost half of the people in the entire Poseidon Square are crowded in this corner.

The crowd was crowded, and there was no end in sight to the procession.

"So many people!"

Lothar couldn't help but be speechless.

Lavinia broke open a nut and looked around with some novelty: "Just line up slowly, if you're tired, you can go and sit there for a while, I'll buy two tickets later." ”

Lothar smiled bitterly, "I thought it was supposed to be me. ”

Lavinia was surprised, "Why? ”

"This... I can't explain it, forget it, let's wait together. ”

"Hmm..."

Lavinia replied, thoughtful, "We maybe, maybe, probably don't have to wait." ”

"Why?"

"I saw an acquaintance."

"Stand here and don't move."

Lavinia gave a word of advice and walked into the crowd.

After a while, she held up the two tickets in her hand, but there was no smugness on her face, but she said to Lothar with some embarrassment: "The tickets are in hand, but you... Can you give me a hundred-lira bill? ”

"Oh, good."

Lothar obediently paid for it, feeling quite embarrassed.

The coins in his pocket add up, and there are only two hundred lira left, and the new month's allowance belongs to the centurion, and he does not know when it will be paid.

She slipped the ticket into Lothar's hand, whispered a thank you, clutched it in her palm, and turned it back into the crowd.

It was only a moment before her short light brown hair reappeared in Lothar's field of vision.

She explained: "I met a junior and I told him that there would be an accident at the circus tonight, so he transferred the original price of the ticket to me. ”

"It's worth it, these two tickets are in good positions, and they are in the top position."

Ranevia paused and said, "Then what do we do next, just wait?" ”

"I can go buy some more snacks to eat."

"I'm not that greedy... Don't you have anything you want to eat or a place to visit? ”

"When I came to Turin yesterday, I already walked around."

Lothar stood in front of Lavinia, and the two of them squeezed out of the queue one after the other, and on the way, they also met a group of people who cursed each other and fought together, and there were always people who did not follow the rules and wanted to cut the line.

If it weren't for the Saluzo family and the city patrol to maintain order, the scene would have gotten out of control a long time ago.

"Lothar, you invited me to eat nuts, I should have treated you to a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine as a thank you."

Lavinia seemed to hesitate for a long time before she mustered up the courage to speak.

"However, I have no money."

"Although there are a hundred lire bills left, that's my meal for this month, sorry, it's rude."

Lothar couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to be so polite, friends will understand each other's difficulties - it's just that I'm puzzled, is the salary of your work unit so low?" ”

Lavinia said with some distress: "Speaking of which, it is also related to your proposal last night, I am going to use the vast majority of my salary to rent a mansion in the suburbs for the homeless people to spend the winter. ”

"How can you get enough for one person's salary?"

Lavinia said seriously, "I've calculated, my salary can rent a mansion for three hundred wanderers, which is already a lot. ”

Her tone was a little anxious: "I know that no matter how hard I try, the people I can help are limited, but this is already my best effort, I think this is enough, and I am not a savior..."

"You don't have to be in such a hurry to justify..."

Lothar carefully studied the subtle changes in Lavinia's face, and couldn't help but laugh, "The more you rush to defend yourself, the more it shows that although you know such a truth, you are still full of guilt in your heart that you can't help so many people—in that case, why don't you consider my proposal last night?" ”

In fact, in Lothar's opinion, Lavinia can do this, which is already beyond this era, and most people who claim to be good people are good.

"No way, I'm not going to be a thief with you."

Lavinia said firmly.
