Looking at the somewhat troubled Emlyn, Sharon "The Resentful Soul" remained silent as usual, while Ian seemed to want to give him some advice, but seemed to be worried that he would not think carefully, so he just opened his mouth and remained silent.
Lowered his head.
For a moment, the small chess and card room fell into silence again.
A few minutes later, Emlyn raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him. After swallowing, he coughed repeatedly. He didn't know whether it was because of his embarrassment or coughing. His face turned red from suppressing it, which scared Ian.
He was about to step forward and pat him on the back, but he was stopped with a raised palm.
After taking a few steps back, the violent rise and fall of his chest finally stopped, and Emlyn said quickly:
"Sorry to trouble you, I have something else to do..."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly towards the door. His movements were so fast that Ian didn't even react before he opened the door and left.
"Miss Sharon..."
Ian instinctively looked towards Sharon, only to find that her body had become illusory again and disappeared into the air.
Here it is again...
Touching his hair, Ian felt a little depressed. As the founder of the "Children's Home" and the eldest brother of many children, his character is naturally not that weak and he is used to relying on others. It's just that things he encounters now are no longer simple.
The issue of eating and drinking involved an extraordinary world that he didn't know much about.
Originally, Detective Sherlock Moriarty and Caspars were here and could teach him. After they left, although Miss Sharon was very kind to him, she gave him almost no advice, which made Ian feel a little helpless.
help.
…
Bridge South District, Rose Flower Street, Harvest Church.
Emlyn, who came here at noon as usual, glanced at Bishop Utravski, who was sitting in the front row wearing a brown clerical uniform. He was taller than before, almost occupying the position of two people, like a silent tower.
Mountain.
Yesterday, Emlyn, who had been thinking for several hours but still not sure of his idea, subconsciously walked towards the priest, but after taking a few steps, he stopped. After hesitating for a while, he walked towards his room at the back of the church and changed into the priest.
He took off his robe and started wiping the silver candlestick with a rag.
After wiping a few strands, Father Utravsky's low and soft voice sounded.
"The Mother Goddess' love cares for every one of her followers."
Emlyn retorted almost subconsciously:
"I only worship the moon and believe in the ancestors."
After speaking, he turned around and looked at Father Utravsky who still kept his hands clasped and his chin resting in prayer.
This was not refuted by the priest. He opened his eyes, revealing a calm light blue, which instantly made Emlyn fall into calmness.
"Okay, Father, I..."
Emlyn walked up to the priest, deliberately emphasized the address, but suddenly found that he didn't know how to ask this question.
Father Utravsky, who had sparse eyebrows and a few obvious wrinkles, stood up. The shadow cast by him shrouded Emlyn in front of him, causing him to take a few steps back and stand in front of the Holy Emblem of Life.
"Under the gaze of the Mother Goddess, you have escaped from the shadows,"
The priest's gentle and powerful voice echoed in the church.
Emlyn was stunned for a moment, and did not immediately refute as usual. Instead, he looked at the shadow under his feet, then at his legs, and finally at the Holy Emblem of Life behind him.
…
Time passed in the rising water of the Tasok River. The stable channel for several months allowed cargo ships to transport coffee from the Southern Continent, rubber from the Rhoad Islands, and a large amount of minerals to Loen by sea, allowing the factories to be fully powered again.
The ground moves.
Although there are various measures and restrictions imposed by the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee", workers have also received many protections, but for those large factories, it does not have any impact. After all, there are too many ways to increase profits.
The Kingdom House on the King's Avenue held the opening ceremony of the Loen National Parliament a month ago. Whether it was King George III, whose two sons committed suicide, or the members of the upper and lower houses who only knew about it, they all attended with smiles on their faces.
After the ceremony, it was not affected at all.
At the beginning of the parliament, the friction between the Conservative Party and the New Party completely ignited the fuse of the electoral change.
The new party, which was ready to go, took advantage of many powerful conditions such as the abolition of the Corn Laws, restrictions on electoral property, and restrictions on invalid constituencies to start an attack. On the other hand, the Conservative Party seemed to be fighting on its own.
Although Philip integrated family forces under Rawls's advice, the Negan family's investment in elections was not much worse than before. However, the estrangement of the alliance caused by Charlie's suicide is still there, between the Levitt family and the Wolf family.
Not only did the effort invested decrease, but it was also impossible to achieve coordination at all. On the contrary, it felt like it was being held back.
Fortunately, the Conservative Party has strong capital, and many people who have obtained the right to vote are still confused after the electoral reform. They can also use the measures taken by the previous administration to attract voters.
Although it is only April, there are still several months before the general election. In previous elections, publicity would not have been carried out so early. However, the new electoral reform has forced both parties to prepare in advance to win over those people who have just gained the right to vote.
In this kind of competition, newspapers have become the most important voice tool for both parties.
In addition to the mouthpieces of both parties, the "Tasok News" still insists on being independent, while the "Daily Observer" which has not been acquired by the New Party newspaper "Backlund Post" is biased towards the conservative party. In addition to the impact of previous mergers and acquisitions
, the Tamara family, which has mastered the assets donated by Bernadette, also cooperated.
In addition, the free "15 Minutes" has also become a leader in the competition. After all, the audience of this newspaper includes most of the new voters.
Under the instruction of Rawls, after the Tamara family met with Joseph Torres, the current major shareholder of "15 Minutes", who holds 60% of the shares, they took advantage of the opportunity to expand production and increase the quotations between the two parties.
The newspaper remained neutral for the time being.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Rawls had to follow Philip to discuss again and again how to face the menacing new party, which consumed a lot of his time. He can serve as Philip's think tank
and confidants, he couldn't refuse.
Fortunately, he also took this opportunity to have more contact with the Archbishop of the Church of Storms, Raydal Valentine. Although the church cannot help the conservative party openly, it can still play a supporting role.
Although the two-party elections are in full swing, for most Loen people, this has little bearing on their lives, because even after the reform, only 10% of the people have the right to vote.
On the other side, Rawls, who was held back by the general election, did not make much progress with Ma Xi. He had done experiments and could only detect the digestion of the potion when he controlled Edward to act. In this way, only
Edward can collect information first, and then he can act out the role in the end.
His previous things that didn't require him to do it himself were going pretty smoothly.
With the help of Selt, the director of MI9, the Tamara family liberated some tribesmen. According to Rawls' needs, they either settled in sub-stations in Marsi, Lundberg and other places, or integrated into Loen.
Major cities, wait for the opportunity.
Prince Govington was not alarmed by the suicides of his two younger brothers. Instead, he became more active and began to re-contact with some nobles and wealthy businessmen who were interested in investing in him. This allowed Selt to arrange people around him.
It becomes much simpler.
It was just that Govington didn't notice, but some nobles and wealthy businessmen realized something was wrong and did not contact each other rashly.
But Princess Delina is in some trouble. She lives in Thordrak Palace, which is the place where the chief of the palace guard is responsible, and is not so easy to contact.
There has been progress on all of these. The only thing that has not been progressed is the angel-level formula for the "Arbiter". There is also no news about the "blasphemous cards" made by Russell.
But this is normal. If it takes more than a month to find it, he will suspect that something is wrong.
In addition, there is also news about the Abraham family that Rawls missed before. Dorian Gray and Verdu Garcia have contacted more people living in Lemburg, Masi, and Segar, and can provide him with assistance at any time.
In this regard, he could only say that it was very good and asked them to keep up the good work.
As for the recent Tarot Club, it was extremely dull. Rawls originally thought that Emlyn would definitely express his opinion on Selt following him, but the other party did not do so, so he was happy and relaxed.
On the other hand, Miss Justice Audrey has repeatedly inquired about Backlund's political situation... Well, her father, Earl Hall, has not returned to Backlund since he returned.
"Everyone..."
At this time, Rawls came back from his summary of the past month and saw Philip, who was summarizing and mobilizing as usual, delivering the final speech of the meeting.
Philip's performance and progress make him more and more like his father Negan Duke, but he still maintains his stubbornness, or innocence, in certain things.
After the meeting, Rawls had a chat with the bishop from the Church of Storms as usual, and then returned to the study on the second floor and found Philip sitting behind the desk looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
Rawls looked at himself up and down and found nothing wrong.
"The church cannot influence the electorate."
"If the church cannot play any role, then Bishop Garvey and His Excellency Raydal Valentine should not be invited to participate in this month's meeting."
Rolls moved his shoulders and sat on the chair in front of the desk.
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
"No, in fact, this is my first time participating in an election. I gave up directly before."
Well, you have the right to vote, but it’s okay not to vote.
"What's the relationship between the two?" Philip asked.
"No, but I think it's almost done. At least we shouldn't have meetings like this." Seeing that Philip was a little confused, Rawls leaned back in his chair and said, "This is not a battlefield. You can't succeed if you persist for a while. This is destined to be a battlefield."
A long competition."
"Nearly half of the newly added voters are workers, which is very detrimental to us."
"Unless you control their jobs, it is impossible for them to defect to us. What we want to win is nothing more than the other half. And these people have just received the right to vote, and they have been bombarded by us and the new party. It takes time to
relax for a moment.
Most of these people have barely entered the middle class and have received very limited education. Without much consideration, they vote for whoever gives them more benefits. In this regard, we are no better than the wealthy people who support the new party. But they can only remember
If you give the immediate benefit now, you may not be able to remember it later.
Let the New Party do the propaganda. As long as we don’t give any benefits, those people won’t spend an extra penny! Just propaganda will do no good, and it may inspire voters’ rebellious psychology.”
After thinking about Rawls's opinion for a while, Philip nodded.
…
The capital of the Carcas Islands, the "White City" Nas.
Walking in this city that had just been attacked by "Blood Admiral" Cerno a few years ago, Klein found some well-hidden pirates, some of whom were simply disguised, and anyone with eyes could identify them.
of pirates.
It's only been half a year! It seems that Fusac really doesn't pay much attention to this place... After sighing, he walked through a hidden alley and resumed his appearance as Gehrman Sparrow.
He's not even afraid of pirates, so what should he be afraid of as an adventurer! What's more, he hasn't tried hunting for a long time.
But now, the most important thing is to contact "Star Admiral" Cattleya. The other party has been waiting for him for almost a month, even though he paid 3,000 pounds for it.
But after contacting Ms. "Hermit", the other party said that she was nearby and asked him to get to Pier 6 as soon as possible. Klein had no choice but to give up hunting and take a carriage to Pier 6.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After waiting for a while, he saw a huge sailboat slowly emerging from the distance.
The sailing ship was getting closer and closer, the flag gradually became clearer, and the crimson but weak moonlight allowed the people in the port to see ten white stars of the same size on it, and those stars surrounded an indifferent eye without eyelashes.
"Star Admiral!"
"Future!"
The sailors guarding the ship made a sound of surprise, and all the docks in the entire port area were filled with restless emotions. The memory of the attack by Senior years ago suddenly emerged.
Why so much fanfare?
After Klein complained, he looked around and discovered that the coastal defense gun was moving, and a red flare also flew into the sky.
At this time, the "Future" stopped, still two to three hundred meters away from the dock.
A lady wearing a black classical robe appeared on the bow of the ship at some point. Her clothes were covered with different symbols and magic signs, just like a powerful wizard from ancient legends.
Under the crimson moonlight, something suddenly lit up in front of her, and a little bit of bright starlight fell down, forming a long transparent bridge.
The long bridge continues to extend forward and falls on Pier 6.
It's very impressive... He is worthy of being one of the seven pirate generals, and he is also an "admiral" with a higher level than "Iceberg" and "Disease"...
Klein sighed and observed, and suddenly a calm voice came into his ears.
"Get aboard, Fusac's army is already gathering."
Then you still made such a big noise... Klein stepped out of the shadows, pressed the half-high silk top hat on his head, took out a charm, and was surrounded by the strong wind and flew up to the long bridge where the stars were condensed.
In less than a minute, the "Future" sailed away from Pier 6.
