After sharing some interesting things and scandals between nobles, Audrey stopped writing and looked like she was seriously recalling her.

With the excellent memory of the "audience", she sorted out some of the news heard in the banquet, dance and salon one by one and organized it into paragraphs.

After writing the draft, Audrey finished writing and wrote:

"About the political situation in Beckland you asked about, this is not within my interest. I can only describe the details I accidentally know to you by my impression."

"Just a while ago, my father told me that after the Cereals Act was abolished, the prices of grains plummeted, and the rental standards for fields and pastures also fell sharply. I don't know the specific range, so I can only use one example to make you understand."

"You know, Duke Negan is the nobleman who owns the most land outside the royal family, claiming to have more than 12 million pounds of land, pastures and forests. Last year, his rent income reached the highest ever level, 1.3 million pounds, and this year, the foreseeable total rent income is 850,000 pounds, a reduction of 450,000 pounds, which is more than all the property I can share."

"I don't need more explanation. My dear brother, you must understand the characteristics of most old-school nobles. They are proud of owning land, mainly rent income, and decent over everything. Even if they are in debt, they must maintain a life that matches their status. The annual cost of castle repairs calculated in tens of thousands of pounds, the annual cost of clothing and jewelry, and persistent hunting activities, social banquets, occasional grand weddings, extravagant funerals, etc.."

"Due to the serious decline in land rent income, as far as I know, some nobles have suffered financial difficulties. For this reason, Earl Wolf sold 840,000 acres of land in the countryside and received 290,000 gold pounds, and Viscount Connard sold the collection worth 55,000 gold pounds to the National Gallery."

"Except for a small number of courageous nobles who have long shifted their focus to steel, coal, railway, bank, rubber and other industries, everyone else has suffered serious damage in this Cereal Act storm. Let us praise our dear Count Hall here!"

"My father told me that financial difficulties will cause the nobles to control partisan politics over the lower house seats. It can be imagined that the number of members of the land nobles will decrease a lot in the next year's change of term."

"In order to raise funds, both the Conservative Party and the New Party promised that no matter who it was, as long as they donated enough money without a criminal record, they would seek title for each other, of course, provided that the gentleman has the lowest land area to match the title."

"A example is that the wealthy Mr. Sindras purchased the minimum 600,000 acres of land needed for the Baron, and then donated 100,000 pounds to the Carlton Club, 400,000 pounds to the Conservatives, and a total of 300,000 pounds to the charity activities, and finally succeeded in getting the imperial edict from His Majesty the King and becoming the noble Mr. Baron. In this regard, I heard there is a price list, from the Baron to 300,000 pounds, and the hereditary baron was 700,000 to 1 million pounds. The Viscount and the Earl did not have a clear answer, but I think it is definitely exaggeration."

...

"In this year, many nobles with financial problems began to seriously consider the possibility of engaging with wealthy businessmen. In just two months, there were three similar marriages, and the dowry of the woman was very coveted."

"In addition, the workers who marched to protest the Cereal Act did get food prices lower, but the quality of their lives did not improve, or even lower, because bankrupt farmers entered the city and snatched jobs with low salary demand, so the wages of the working class fell rapidly."

"I remember that day, after talking about these things, my father asked me, who do you think is the winner of this Cereal Act incident?"

"Dear Alfred, you must know the answer, and you can definitely get a hereditary title by relying on your own efforts."

Hugh Dilcha and Forth Wall, who received a reply from Audrey, were returning to the Beckland Bridge area in a carriage.

Blonde hair looked out the window in a messy way, her eyes so bright that it seemed as if two flames were burning.

She kept talking to herself the word "450 pounds", just like reciting a mantra. Every time she recited it, she could gain increased courage and strength.

"Dakhome hasn't come to us today. Let's tell us about the recent investigation. Let's go directly to his house!" Suddenly, Hugh turned his head and looked at Fors.

Darkholm is the leader of a gangster in the East of Bakerland, controlling many beggars and thieves.

Although he always looked kind and had a friendly smile on his round face, Huo knew that this was a cruel and vicious villain. He had once stepped on the hand of a thief of thief who had just because the other party had hidden his gains.

If it wasn't necessary, Hugh wouldn't even want to see Duckholm, but the other party was one of the people who knew the city's homeless people best.

Fors pushed his slightly curly brown hair behind his ears and said:

“Just not delay my lunch.”

"No problem! Maybe after this week, I will invite you to an Intis meal!" Hugh promised very well.

"Do I have to thank God for this?" Fors asked back with a funny look.

She is different from Hugh, she is a shallow believer of the God of Steam and Machinery.

While talking, the two girls changed into another public carriage and came to the East Side of Bakerland and found Duckholm's home.

This is a townhouse located in a narrow alley with turquoise plants on the walls and the outside environment is quite messy.

I stopped walking to the door, raised my right hand, and knocked on the door a few times with a unique rhythm.

With a creak, the door was not closed and opened backwards with her knock.

Husband's slightly confused expression instantly turned serious, like a furry lion.

She pulled out the triangular thorn she carried with her, carefully pushed the door, and walked slowly inside.

Fors also changed his careless state and found a dagger from somewhere.

None of them smelled strange smells, but their rich experience made them keenly aware that something was wrong.

One, two, three, Hugh and Forth entered Duckholm's home.

Then they saw the pale broken arms on the gas lamp, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys on the coffee table, and saw one after another of blood and flesh sprinkled on the floor and hung on the coat rack!

The bones were shaved very clean and piled up in a mess directly opposite the door.

Amid the white bones, there was a head with empty eyes, which was Darkholm.

His round face still maintained a kind smile, as if everything was normal, and there was no bloody smell inside the house, not a trace of it.

As a former clinic doctor and later best-selling author, Sequence 9 Extraordinary, Fors has seen a more disgusting death scene than this. While filming her body tight and feeling like vomiting, she looked around and said in a deep voice:

"Zirlingers? 'Line General of Hurricane' Zillingers?"

"He found that Darkholm was investigating the missing homeless man, so he followed him back and came to the door directly?"

"Or that Duckholm found his whereabouts, but he found it?"

Jiu resisted the throbbing of his nausea, nodded solemnly:

"It is worthy of being a pirate general who is famous for his ferocity and cunning... and the weirdness here is also in line with the performance of his magical object."

"Cunning..." Fors was suddenly shocked and blurted out, "Will he still wait nearby to try to ambush and investigate his lord?"

Xu was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a slightly panic:

"Very likely!"

That is the "Wind Master" of Sequence 6, a pirate who controls a magical item, and the two of them only have Sequence 9!

This is a very simple and easy comparison!

...

In the house opposite Duckholm's house, a man in his thirties with a unique wide chin and dark green eyes stood by the window, staring coldly as Hugh and Forth pushed open the door and walked slowly inside.

This is exactly "Lever General of Hurricane" Zillingers!

The black gloves he wore on his left palm suddenly squirmed like vitality, and a layer of dark golden scales appeared on the surface.

Zillingers showed a cruel and pleasant expression, and his dark green eyes turned into a light golden, ruthless vertical pupil.

...

Forer thought about it and hurriedly pulled Xiu to the other side, avoiding the area opposite the door.

Immediately afterwards, she bit her white teeth and took off a string of bracelets covered by the ruffles on her cuffs.

There are three dark green rough stones on this silver bracelet, and the surface of the stone is full of burning marks and unevenness.

Fors pulled off a stone and shouted in Guchmis:

"Door!"

She held Hugh Dilcha firmly and watched the stone bloom with an illusory light blue light.

The figures of the two ladies blurred and became nearly invisible.

They saw things that were difficult to describe their bodies, even so transparent that they seemed to not exist, and saw one after another of different colors, with endless knowledge, and they entered the mysterious spiritual world.

In that strange world above reality, Fors pulled Xiu to take a step in a certain direction.

After three breaths, they escaped from the transparent and illusory state, returned to reality, and returned to Beckland.

However, their place was no longer Dakholm's home, but an unmanned cemetery.

...

Zillingers, wearing fine scale gloves, quietly appeared at the door of Duckholm, and his eyes swept inside with cold eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and said to himself:

“‘Traveler’?”

…………

In the cemetery.

"What should I do next?" Fors gasped in pain and fear.

The bracelet was a magical item she got in the adventure of obtaining the "apprentice" formula and materials. There was no other hidden danger except that she would hear some strange and vague murmurs every month when she was full moon.

There were originally five stones on the bracelet, which allowed her to use the spiritual world to travel and do something similar to teleportation, but now, there are only two left.

After calming down the mind and spirit, Zheng Xintiao said:
Chapter completed!
