Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 115 [This Spring Night]

The first day of February.

Even though the wind is still cold and the ice is still floating on the sea, the warmth of spring is already a little unstoppable.

For example, in the garden, the seeds planted last year now seem to be showing signs of sprouting.

Sophia squatted in the garden, observing the slightly raised ground absentmindedly.

She planted a violet seed here, and if it sprouted, it would bloom into a beautiful flower.

But where are her flowers?

She hadn't seen Ethan for almost two days since she won the lawsuit that day.

When I called, Ethan just said that he had a lot of things to do in the next few days and might have to go on a long trip, so he might not be able to tutor at home these days.

She could understand that this lawsuit had caused Ethan a lot of trouble and he did have to do a lot of cleanup work, but she really wanted to meet him.

Because spring is coming.

The flowers are about to bloom.

She really wanted to ask her father what trouble Ethan was in and if he could help him again.

But my father seemed to have run into some trouble and had been very worried these past two days.

This made her realize that she shouldn't bother.

Her father had done enough for her.

This winter is almost over, and on this morning when spring has not yet arrived, Sophia feels a little sad.

But human sorrows and joys are not the same.

This spring is a good time for George.

The decisive battle between Ethan and Sandro is inevitable. As the third party originally used for balance, he is the safest.

Because when two lions are fighting each other, the jackals hiding nearby will not be affected.

Moreover, even if one of them wins, it will be a miserable victory.

Wasn't that George's chance then?

George wasn't daydreaming.

He has received the latest news that someone from the head of the Evans family, who is far away in the royal capital, will come to Winster on business soon.

And he has already had preliminary contact with that side.

Compared with the Evans family in Winster, the Evans family in the royal capital is a real behemoth.

Even though there were some unpleasantness when our ancestors left the royal capital, after all, so many years have passed and our blood is still connected.

In addition, he has secretly contacted people from the Prohibition Bureau in the past two days.

Aberlin.

The man they hadn't been able to kill.

At this time, they were all at the lowest point in their lives.

But George has already heard the news that Aberlin may be activated again soon.

He and Abeling reached a consensus.

If he could achieve enough results after the battle between Ethan and Sandro, he could become a candidate for support from the Prohibition Bureau.

King of the Winster Underground.

What a wonderful name.

Like a beautiful flower.

The seeds have been planted, just waiting for spring to come.

This is his George's spring.

This coming spring will be completely different in everyone's eyes.

In Ramon's eyes, he doesn't care about this spring.

Or rather, he no longer cares about this Winster spring.

No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, everything in this port city has nothing to do with him anymore.

Because he was about to leave this crappy place.

He will go to the old world he has been longing for, the real sacred land, to embrace the warmth of the sun god.

Just a few days ago, he had received approval to return with Cardinal Casar, the Black Cardinal, where he would be formally ordained a priest and serve in the cathedral.

Although he was only the lowest-ranking gray-robed priest, he was much stronger than he is now.

He was a truly devout believer, and since he was born, he had dreamed of making a pilgrimage to the Old World. Unfortunately, due to the strict prohibitions in the kingdom in recent years, it was not easy to enter the cathedrals in the Old World.

He could only rely on the local church and take things step by step.

Taking up a position at Winster University and even aiming for the position of president were nothing more than his efforts to truly become a believer in the Sun God.

He originally thought that after the last painting competition, his wish would no longer be possible.

Unexpectedly, the fortunes changed and Cardinal Casar suddenly came.

He came to find someone.

Just when everyone was at a loss, someone suddenly delivered the latest information, saying that the person they were looking for was Vincent who had just returned from the Poletta family.

Ramon actually didn't know much about what happened that night.

He only vaguely understood that the Prohibition agent named Aberlin had probably already thrown himself into the arms of the Sun God.

And, most importantly, they did capture that guy named Vincent.

Ramon was extremely happy.

Because he has a grudge against Ethan.

Vincent is Ethan's second brother.

Now, thanks to Vincent, he has achieved the life he has always dreamed of and also avenged himself.

What a pleasurable thing it is.

So much so that he didn't even attend the court hearing where Ethan was arrested that day.

He is about to leave here.

Everything here has nothing to do with him anymore.

Feeling the sea breeze from the dock and a hint of warmth mixed in with the cold wind, Ramon couldn't help but laugh.

The church's ship was already being loaded, and all sorts of things and supplies were being moved aboard.

And the most important person, Vincent, will also move onto the boat in a while.

When night falls, they will leave Winster quietly.

At that time, no one knew that Vincent would be taken to the Old World thousands of miles away.

Ethan is probably still searching blindly.

This is the greatest revenge.

"Be careful! We will be on the sea for a long time, and nothing can go wrong!" Ramon called to the workers.

This time he took away all his belongings.

Nothing can go wrong at sea, as the rest of his life will be on this ship.

The sea breeze swirls around the pier and eventually flows into the city.

As the wind spreads to every corner of the city, more moist air comes from the sea.

This day was warmer than expected.

It's like spring has arrived early.

In the evening, the rich voice of the radio host began to be heard from the new radio. They talked about the four-ship case that had recently made a sensation in the city, how Ethan escaped from the trial, and finally the city's climate.

Maybe it will rain tonight.

When the night was completely hazy, the air in the entire city had become extremely humid.

On this spring night, Ramon escorted a dark carriage towards the dock.

Yes, in this age of cars, there are still people who love horse-drawn carriages.

Cardinal Casar is one of them.

It is said that in the Old World, the powerful and wealthy were proud to have their own private carriages.

So he also planned to take these two carriages to the Old World as a gift to Casar.

"Have the things been moved up?" Casar asked as he got off the carriage.

Ramon nodded quickly.

Casar took one last look back at the city behind him.

Finally completed the task.

I really can't stay in this untrustworthy city for even a moment.
