That night, when Loranthir entertained the Argtilim family, the Tisiphone family was also involved in a dispute.
"Why not let the alchemist attack directly and clean up Carites' fleet?"
As the headquarters of the Anemii Chamber of Commerce was bombed, there were many casualties. Fortunately, Fengano was moved out in advance. The consequences would have been disastrous if he had stayed at home.
But Noyce was still very dissatisfied. The Tisiphone family clearly had this trump card, so why didn't they just take action and solve the problem that night, instead of having to suffer long nights and dreams.
"Lord Noyce, please calm down. There is a reason why you didn't take action directly that night." Wick explained at the side.
"Although the organization has arranged for this master to assist us, Master Zenep has his own rules of conduct. At present, Lurna cannot directly interfere with Verga. Firstly, the time is not mature yet, and secondly, there are still many people in the city.
There are many other masters of the Xuehua Alliance who have taken action rashly, which will also arouse their resentment and resistance, because it will violate the centuries-old covenant of the Xuehua Alliance."
"But now that the organization has reached this point, it is inevitable that the old alliance will be broken." Noyce dismissed this.
"We will eventually establish a new order."
"The former leader of the alliance, the Kingdom of West Wind, is currently too busy to take care of itself and is extremely weak. The organization is taking advantage of this to expand its strength and use thunderous means to unify all countries and create an alliance as unbreakable as steel to confront and suppress the Green Empire." Noyes did not agree.
Current course of action.
"I know that Mr. Noyce has a broad mind and a wise vision, but other people are not as rational and wise as you. It will take some time for the general public to accept this fact and change." Adeley spoke at this time.
"But you don't have to be too anxious. News has come from the organization. In two days, a messenger will arrive with an official document. Moreover, we recently learned some unexpected good news."
At this point, Adeley showed a playful smile.
"Maybe by then, we can capture both of them without a single blow."
----------------------------------
After sending everyone away from the Yagtilin family, Lorraine Hill sat in the study, picking up a pen and writing a letter.
Occasionally, there is a slight buzz of insects outside the window, but it is much less than in summer. On the candlestick with five candles burning, translucent wax oil overflows and condenses along the wax body into a shape like teardrops.
The candle burns quietly, and sometimes the night wind blows the curtains, shaking the orange candle light, reflecting the girl's figure on the bookshelf behind, stretched very long.
The hair hanging on the shoulders was still a little damp, exuding a faint floral fragrance. Occasionally, a drop or two of water dropped along the hair and dripped on the skirt and desk.
Lorraine Hill was writing a letter to Seres in the Southern Islands, telling him about the recent situation and some things she wanted him to do. After finishing writing, she thought about it and put in a suicide note from Angus.
Wrap the envelope.
Then she rolled up the envelope and put it into the bamboo tube. After closing the lid of the bamboo tube, she picked up a silver spoon, then took out a few purple sealing wax blocks from the box and put them in it.
Place the spoon containing the wax block over the candle flame and bake it. Slowly, the sealing wax inside begins to melt, giving off a light pine scent.
Lorraine Hill used a spoon to pour the melted sealing wax onto the bamboo tube cover, letting it fill the surface and edges, sealing the gap between the cover and the mouth of the tube, then picked up the metal seal specially used by the chamber of commerce owner, stamped it, and slightly
Apply force and let it cool for a while before taking it off.
In the end, a delicate flower of lacquer was formed on the seal, with a color like violet. He handed the bamboo tube to the Demoiselle Eagle waiting on the window sill. This guy was stronger than before. With the strength of Sequence 2, he now exclusively used
To deliver important and distant letters.
After tying the bamboo tube, I fed this greedy guy a primitive gem as a reward. It chirped happily a few times, and then flew into the distant sky along the moonlight.
Putting aside her previous worries, Lorraine Hill was about to go to bed, when she heard a loud noise coming from the door of the Chamber of Commerce in the distance.
She stamped her feet a little, feeling a little annoyed as to why her hearing was so good and she couldn't just go to bed if she wanted to.
Listening to the occasional pleading outside, Lorraine Hill sighed and decided to go downstairs to have a look.
Outside the heavily guarded chamber of commerce, there were about seven or eight people kneeling down and begging for help.
"Please, please save us."
"The Nisos family's executioners are looking for us all over the streets."
"They want to vent their anger on us..."
"Kind and kind-hearted Miss Lacey, please save us poor people."
These people had injuries and a lot of dirt and stains on their bodies. They seemed to have escaped here after hiding everywhere.
The guards of the Carites family at the gate seemed a little impatient. Although these people were pitiful, their origins were unknown, and this was a tense and critical moment. They would not be soft-hearted and let people in.
Besides, Miss Lacey is something they can see whenever they want. Lady Lacey is the only backbone of Carites now, and he doesn't dare to disturb the eldest lady's rest for such a trivial matter.
"You'd better leave. Although we are in opposition to the Nisos family now, we will not let you in unless..."
"Unless I give you permission?"
Lorraine Hill's figure appeared at the gate, and a light voice sounded in the night.
"Miss, yes... I'm sorry to disturb you." Several guards nearby saluted quickly and replied in a panic.
"Nothing... let me ask these people."
Lorraine Hill looked at these people, then waved his pure white sleeves, asking the guard to temporarily open the iron gate and let these people come in to talk.
Several rescuers followed the girl to a brightly lit place, and then they saw clearly the eldest lady of the Carites family.
Although the pure white dress is beautiful, it is a bit thin in the autumn night. Her golden hair shines under the firelight. Her appearance under the hair is as described in the rumors, peerless and dreamy, and her light blue eyes are as crystal-like.
Transparent and as clear as the sky.
"Now, can you tell me about your experience?"
Then several guards moved chairs and asked these people to sit down and talk. Lorraine Hill also sat behind a small round table. On the table were teapots and teacups that the maids had just heated.
"We are the leaders of the protest against the Nisos family some time ago..." One of them introduced himself.
...
"But after that night, Gretel disappeared, and we were hunted down by the Nisos family. Several of our companions were tortured by the Nissos family's thugs."
"But after that, it was said that an important thug and younger brother of the Nisos family died, and several other people who had accepted money from the Nissos family and betrayed them also disappeared."
"Fenton felt that this was someone deliberately challenging the dignity of the Nissos family, so he started to send people to hunt down those of us who had participated before."
"And it was determined that we were the ones who did it because we had a huge motive."
"Although we didn't do it, I still want to say that those beasts died well!" One of them said with some excitement.
"But now that the three chambers of commerce have blocked the city gate, we have nowhere to escape. We can only ask you or the Helis family for help."
After these people finished explaining, they began to ask Lacey for help.
"But what good will it do me, Kalites, to save you? Who else can guarantee that you are telling the truth and not sneaking in to become assassins?"
Before Lorraine Hill could speak, the cold voice of the head maid came from behind.
