Chapter 120 Red and Black

The same thing happened in the ghettos and in the docks where work was heavy, and the factories broke out.

One after another, the refugees, workers, and washerwomen who were wearing thin clothes in the winter slowly fell down.

A commentator once described the poor in this way.

"It's not that the poor are born unlucky, but that their ability to withstand wind and waves is too weak. Any disaster that befalls them will be like the straw that breaks the camel's back. They will never have a chance to stand up again."

"Human life can be very strong or very fragile. Sometimes, even a bowl of hot porridge, a coat, or a bowl of soup can save a person's life, or even a family. Unfortunately, they can't even do this. Can’t take it out.”

The first ones to discover such an abnormal situation were the detectives from the Intis Police Department.

What is ridiculous is that when such a situation was reported to the nobles, the first reaction of those ministers was:

"Block the news and clean up the corpses. How many refugees will not die one day?"

"Nobles from all over the world are here in Intis, so don't let this trivial matter affect the image of our empire!"

"By the way, today is Miss Lilith Weir's coming of age ceremony. That beautiful and kind angel has done enough for those untouchables. Send more people to transport the corpses out of the city. If the dinner can't It goes on as scheduled, so be prepared to take the bullet."

……

Dusk falls slowly.

At this time, Xuantian's disciples and Lin Tianyi, who were well prepared, had already had dinner.

"Why hasn't Uncle Fu come back?" Xuantian's disciple frowned and said a little worriedly.

Tonight, Old Fulin should set up the carriage and pull the two of them, as well as the fireworks and this year's new wine, to Chatsworth Manor.

However, Uncle Fu, who was always punctual, did not come back.

After asking other servants in the manor, Xuantian's disciples found out that Fulin had been out all afternoon. Normally, he should have been back at the manor for a few hours.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

Some of the anxious Xuantian disciples pinched their brows.

Lin Tianyi said:

"Are you really acting like a young master? Let the servants go out to find Uncle Fu. The two of us will drive there by ourselves. The old man is old and it's still cold at night, so don't bother him."

After hearing Lin Tianyi's words, Xuantian's disciple nodded, took a deep breath and said:

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

"Wait a minute. I will leave a letter and leave all the money I have with me to the servants in the manor. If tonight is the end of the mission, then there is no use keeping this money."

Lin Tianyi agreed:
  "That's basically the end. I also have a lot of money here, but unfortunately I don't have any servants. Let's give it all to you."

Xuantian disciple smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"Forget it, keep it for a rainy day."

After loading their things and driving the carriage, the two of them were preparing to head to Chatsworth Manor, when they saw a hurried punishment agent wearing a dark blue denim coat walking towards the gate of the manor.

"Abyss, Ryan!"

After seeing the two of them, the latter immediately called out, walked quickly to Abyss, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Xuantian's disciple's face suddenly turned ugly, but the latter quickly performed the etiquette of the Church of Storms and whispered:
  "I have to go. A large number of pirates on the other side of the sea have gathered outside Intis. Father Gragon has led a large number of members of the Inquisition to rush to support. There is a serious shortage of manpower in the city. Now several squad captains are working The extraordinary beings from other orthodox sects who came with the support of the Six Nations will help us clean up the remnants of the Secret Witch Guild."

"It's up to you at Chatsworth Manor."

After saying this, he hurried towards the city and actually used his extraordinary strength to disappear in front of the two of them in a few steps. "What happened?"

"Old Fulin... I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

For Xuantian's disciples, this old loyal servant only spent a few days with him day and night.

However, the memories engraved deep in Earl Abys's memory made his hands clenched, and a sorrow and anger grew and spread in his heart.

"What?! Tell me more details." Lin Tianyi asked in surprise.

"Plague, a large-scale plague, many people died in the city. And not only that, Tenas, the king of the seven seas, led four kings and seven generals to go to war with Tusossel."

Lin Tianyi felt a bad premonition arise in his heart.

"Deploy all the power of the Church of Storms and turn the entire Intis into a breeding ground for the evil god to descend?"

At this time, Xuantian's disciple could not help but grit his teeth. Although his reason told him that all this was just a script task, he could not suppress the sadness in his heart no matter what.

In the city, large numbers of people were dying.

Tonight, I don’t know how many families are going to lose their loved ones and cry and grieve, but the nobles actually continue to hold dinner parties and dances? !
  "Let's go! It seems we have more important things to do."

Lin Tianyi's face was calm. He patted Xuantian's disciple on the shoulder and drove in the direction of Chatsworth Manor.

The road to the manor does not pass through the urban area of ​​​​Intis. It seems that in order to welcome the guests who may arrive, every household in the noble manor is brightly lit. In the cold winter, the servants move out pots of chicken that are kept in the greenhouse. Flowers decorate the gate of the manor.

The city of Intis in the distance seems to be shrouded in darkness, cold and desperate. The contrast with the lights and colors of various manors is beautiful and full of irony.

Xuantian's disciples and Lin Tianyi were not in a good mood. Watching the servants lighting large or low red wax lampshades at the door of their respective manors, they both couldn't help but think of those things that may happen in their lives. , the poor people who died hastily without even being willing to buy candles.

Red candles, red flowers, red dresses, red balls.

Black night, black city, black suit, black heart.

Red and black intertwined to form this grand dinner.

The car soon arrived near Chatsworth Manor. A large number of carriages gathered outside the manor, queuing up to enter the prince's manor, which was second only to the royal palace.

In the distance, a bonfire was lit, and melodious orchestral music spread here with cheerful melody.

Many aristocratic children were chasing and playing around. Many nobles wore gorgeous coats and fine furs, chatting in low voices, and small-scale laughter broke out from time to time.

Xuantian's disciples watched all this coldly, their fingers unconsciously tapping on the badly worn reins, as if they were rubbing Old Fulin's calloused hands.

Lin Tianyi knew what he was going to do and whispered:

"Those artillery pieces are our back-up to save lives. Using them now has no meaning except to vent our emotions."

"Look at that." Xuantian's disciple suddenly raised his chin and motioned Lin Tianyi to look in one direction.

The latter turned his head and looked at a beautiful girl wearing a maid's costume, who was walking towards the backyard of Chatsworth Manor following the steward of the manor.

Lin Tianyi's face froze, and with his super eyesight, he saw the girl's face clearly.

Although the other party put on makeup and became more beautiful, Lin Tianyi still recognized the other party's identity!

The missing girl case, the old priest of the Church of Storms, Mourinho’s daughter, Aisha!
