"Have the best wine you've ever had."

A knight in extraordinary costume sat down at the counter and popped out a golden coin.

On his body, he has the coat of arms of three male lions, his appearance is handsome, and his clothes are quite extraordinary, and the bartender knows very well that this person seems to be alone, but he may be the lord of the dominant side on the European continent.

The bartender immediately greeted the guests with a smile on his face.

"Feel free to take a seat, and someone will bring you our signature wine shortly!"

Damietta has his own tavern, huddled in the corners of the streets, which is not very noticeable on weekdays, but in private, even a Saracen may change into a Coptic outfit and walk in low-key for a drink.

"Good day, noble knight, this is called Karakalal, which means caracal in Coptic language, and it is very strong, you have to be careful that your wallet is touched."

Lille reminded in a somewhat rusty Franconian voice as he held the tray.

"Thank you for the reminder, but as far as I know, there's no wine in the world that can get me drunk."

The handsome man of the Three Lions coat of arms did not disappoint him, and while taking the wine glass, he placed a handful of silver coins on the tray: "For you, little one." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

Excitement was written on Lille's face as he hurriedly slipped the silver coins into his pocket.

This money is enough for my mother and sister to have a good meal, and my mother has been sick recently, so she needs to eat something good...

Buy some pork!

But it quickly occurred to him that the rulers of Damietta had changed from the Saracens who did not eat pork to the Franks, and that pork was no longer cheap, easily available.

It's better to buy a fish.

Although fish is not considered meat, it is much stronger than simple grains.

"These Franks are really generous, if this continues, at most next month, I will have enough money to hire a herbalist in the city to see my mother, and after my mother's body recovers,"

Think so.

Lille wanted to take a leave of absence from his boss and leave work early.

Li looked at this cheerful little boy and left happily, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and although he failed to get the desired result at today's military meeting, his mood was not affected much.

The coming day is long, and let's see.

Picking up the wine glass, the wine went down his throat, and it was as hot as the little boy said.

"Whew, give me another drink!"

...

Lille hurriedly clutched his wallet and walked through the alleys.

He can't wait to get his mother's praise and his sister's adoration.

Look at!

I can earn money to support my family like my father!

But just as he turned the corner of an alley, he accidentally bumped into a man.

Ahead.

Shadows obscure the sun.

The dark-skinned stout man sneered and stretched out his hand: "Lille, what a mistake." ”

"I'm sorry, Santos."

Lille got up from the ground and tried to escape.

This Santos is a well-known villain in the neighborhood and always wants to do something to his mother, but fortunately, the neighbors who had a good relationship with his father took care of him, so this guy did not dare to mess around.

"Want to run? Which is so easy. ”

The man sneered, took a step across, and blocked the entire alley tightly: "Your mother borrowed a sum of money from us, and it has been delayed for two months, and according to the interest rate we negotiated at the beginning, you will not be able to pay back this money in the next life." So, from today onwards, your mom and sister will be given jobs with us. ”

Lille's face turned red, and he said hesitantly: "Liar, deceit, how can my mother ask you to borrow money?" ”

The man known as Santos sneered and took out a note and shook it: "There is an IOU as proof, and your mother's handprint is pressed on it." ”

Santos didn't dare to go to Lille's house and arrest him directly, but he was sure that if he caught Lille, his beautiful mother would let him take what he wanted.

"The first thing your lords did after conquering the port of Ella was to strictly prohibit usury."

Ahead, two pleasant female voices sounded.

"So Damietta is the same?"

A girl with short light brown hair, wearing strange crystal glass ornaments on her eyes, is asking a question to the girl with long blue-gray hair next to her.

"Yes, that's right."

"Hey, get out of the way!"

In the past, when he suddenly met such two beautiful girls, he was still in such a remote alley, and he had to do something.

But the two women in front of him, looking young, made Santos a little hairy inexplicably, and he really couldn't raise the slightest blasphemy thought.

"Didn't he hear what we just said?"

"Nina, don't you speak Coptic very well?"

The girl with short blue-gray hair was also a little unconfident: "Maybe." ”

"Get out of the way, or I'm welcome!"

The frightened Lille looked at these two tall girls in strange costumes, but extremely beautiful, although he didn't know why the always fierce Santos suddenly became a lot better talker, he still said: "Run, he's a bad guy!" ”

Cellina shook her head and pointed to the saber under her cloak: "As you can see, child, we have weapons, and the one who should run should be holding you... This gentleman. ”

An inexplicable sense of fear caused the man to suddenly scream, leave Lille behind and turn to run.

But as the brown-haired girl stretched out a slender finger and her thin lips opened and closed, the man fell directly to the ground.

His face was full of fear at this time, and he stammered: "Witch, noble Miss Witch, please let me go, my wife is seriously ill, and I have to wait for me to earn money to go back to save her, if I die, my wife and children will die." ”

Cellinina and Lavinia looked at each other and bowed slightly.

"It's a cunning fellow who begs for mercy when he sees something is wrong—if we were a little witch who helped this poor boy out of kindness, but didn't know anything about the world, he might have been deceived."

"Heavenly Father, I swear what I say is true!"

Santos yelled for mercy.

"Just stay here, and later, the City Guard will send someone to arrest you—and the people behind you."

Lavinia's voice was cold.

The man behind Santos runs a brothel, an industry with a long history, even in the Holy Pope's City, which cannot be banned.

However, it is intolerable to sell human beings and force good people into prostitution.

Although the masterminds behind the ability to open brothels are generally not small, but now that Damietta has a new owner and the old forces are being reshuffled on a large scale, it is easy to destroy such dens.

"Child, you can go, hide your money, and if someone bullies you, you can go to the patrol police station in the square to report the crime."

Lavinia finished.

Cellina added: "If you want to treat your mother, it just so happens that in the afternoon in the square there will be a free clinic held by the Order of St. Lazarus, and you can bring your mother there for free." ”

Lille woke up like a dream, and nodded busily: "Thank you, thank you, two sisters, God will bless you!" ”

The two women looked at each other and smiled.

There's a good chance God won't like them, after all, they're creatures of darkness.

The Damietta Police Station, which had just been authorized and set up, was intended to replace the city guards and take on the security of the city, but it was still far from achieving this goal, and Lavinia had a total of a dozen cavalry temporarily allocated to him by Lothar.

"Nina, you say, how should I recruit people?"

Cellinina thought for a while, and said: "I can help you with this, I helped Mr. Curs recruit homeless people before, think about it carefully, it should be a similar process, first write a notice and post it on the public notice board in the square." ”

"And then?"

"And then screen, no one can lie in front of us, we should recruit people with a sense of justice, not ruffians like that guy just now."

"But how do we get these people to sign up voluntarily?"

Lavinia raised a finger with some distress: "Lothar gave me a small budget, if you want to recruit enough personnel, the treatment can't be too good, but if the treatment is not good, who wants to join?" ”

Cellina frowned, "This is indeed a problem..."

Both of them were a little at a loss for a while.

Back at the police station that had just been established, the two were still a little worried.

This aroused the curiosity of the Ulm knights who assisted them, and the chief hussar asked tentatively, "What are the two ladies worried about?" ”

Lavinia simply expressed the sorrow in her heart.

After hearing this, Ulm couldn't help but smile bitterly, he considered his words, and said: "Two ladies, don't forget who the master of this city is. We just need to find the more prestigious people in each residential area, and ask how many households must send one person to join the police station. ”

He paused, and then added: "Whoever is not qualified, let them go back the way they came, and let them send new people, the Franks have a bad reputation, but for us, it is not all bad, at least, no one dares to disobey our demands." ”

When these words were said, the two girls couldn't help but look at each other, and they both felt a little embarrassed.

What could be solved so easily, they didn't expect it.

Ulm added: "The two ladies are just so kind that they always want to ask for each other's consent. But in reality, even if it is a good deed, there are always many misunderstandings, and when the Order of St. Lazarus first held free clinics, many people thought they were liars, shamans who tinkered with potions. We only need to recruit people first, and after a long time, they will naturally realize that this is a good cause for the whole city. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Knight of Ulm."

Lavinia thanked her sincerely.

Ulm hurriedly lowered his head and said with a smile: "Madam, you are too polite, I am used to doing this kind of work, and I have a little experience, and it is my honor to help the two of you." ”

When he was a border patrol officer before, he faced a lot of problems.

Later, it won countless praises, is it possible to rely on the words "fairness and justice"?

For example, if people from two villages grab water and almost fight, how should this matter be judged? Give the water to whoever is close to it? Or is it that the two sides are divided in half? Or do you want to figure out the merits and then make a judgment based on the needs of both parties?

Pure kindness can sometimes be counterproductive.

The more basic the post, the more flexible and flexible the means required.
