Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
After sharing some interesting things and scandals among the nobles, Audrey stopped writing and put on a serious look.
With Audience's excellent memory power, she sorted out the words and occasional teachings of her father's Earl Hall, and sorted out some of the messages heard in the banquet, ball and salon, one by one, and organized them into paragraphs.
Audrey writes the abdomen draft and writes:
"Regarding the political situation of Beckland you inquired about, this is not in my interest. I can only use the impression to describe the details I accidentally knew to you."
"Just a while ago, my father told me that after the abolition of Grain Bill, the food price plummeted, and the rent standards for fields and pastures also fell off the cliff. I do n’t know the specific range. I can only give you an example. Understand. "
"You know, Duke of Negan is the aristocrat with the most land outside the royal family, claiming to have more than 12 million pounds of fields, pastures and forests. Last year, his rent income reached the highest level in history, 1.3 million pounds. And this year, the foreseeable total rent income is 850,000 pounds, a reduction of 450,000 gold pound, which has exceeded all the property I can get. "
"No more explanation is needed from me, my dear brother, you must understand the characteristics of most old-school nobles. They are proud of owning land, mainly based on rent income, and decent than everything else, even if they are in debt. To maintain a life sufficient to match their status, the castle repair cost in pounds per year, thousands of pounds in clothing and jewelry expenses per year, as well as persistent hunting activities, social banquets, occasional grand weddings, luxury funerals, etc. Wait. "
"Due to the serious decline in land rent income, as far as I know, some nobles have encountered financial difficulties. For this reason, Count Wolf sold 840.000 acres of land in the countryside and received 290,000 gold pound. Viscount Conrad sold 55,000gold pound collectibles. To the National Gallery. "
"Except for a small number of brave nobles who have shifted their focus to steel, coal, railways, banks, rubber and other industries, everyone else has suffered serious damage in this Grain Bill storm, let us praise us here Dear Earl Hall! "
"Father told me that the embarrassment of financial resources will make the aristocrats' control of the party politics on the lower parliament seat decline. It is conceivable that the number of parliamentarians from the land nobility will be reduced by a large number next year."
"The Conservative Party and the New Party promise to raise funds no matter who they are, as long as they have no criminal record and donate enough money, they will seek the knighthood for the other party, of course, provided that the gentleman has a matching knighthood Minimum land area. "
"One example is that the wealthy Mr. Syndras purchased the minimum 600,000 acres of land needed for the baronial title, and then donated 100,000 gold pound to the Carleton club, 400,000 pounds to the Conservative Party, and a cumulative charity donation of 300,000 Pound, and finally successfully sealed by His Majesty the King, became a distinguished baron, in this regard, I heard that there is a price list, baronet is 300,000 pounds, hereditary baron is 700,000 to 1 million pounds, Viscount and Earl have no clear answer, But I think it ’s definitely exaggerated enough. "
......
"In this year, many aristocrats with financial problems began to seriously consider the possibility of networking with the wealthy businessmen. Within only two months, there were three similar marriages, and the woman ’s dowry was very coveted."
"In addition, the workers who marched in protest against Grain Bill did get a reduction in food prices, but their quality of life did not improve, or even lower, because the bankrupt farmers entered the city and robbed them with low wages. Working, so the salary of the working class is falling rapidly. "
"I remember that day, after talking about these things, my father asked me, who do you think is the winner of this Grain Bill incident?"
"Dear Alfred, you must know the answer, you can certainly rely on your own efforts to get a hereditary title."
…………
Quinn Dierra and Forsi Wall, who received a reply from Audrey, are returning to the Beckland bridge district domain in a carriage.
The blond messy Quinn looks out the window, pupils is so bright that there are two flames burning.
She kept mumbling the word "450 pounds", just like chanting mantras, every time she read it, she would gain courage and strength.
"Dakholm hasn't come to us today, tell the latest investigation, let's go to his house!" Suddenly, Quinn turned his head to look at Forsi.
Dakholm is a gang leader of Beckland eastern district and controls many beggars and thieves.
Although he always looks kind and has a friendly smile on his round face, Quinn knows that this is a cruel and vicious villain. He once trampled on a ten-year-old 3-4 thief Hand, just because the other party has hidden the harvest.
If it is not necessary, Quinn does not even want to see Dakholm, but the other party is one of the people who knows the city vagabond best.
Forsi dialed the slightly curly brown hair to the back of the ear:
"As long as my lunch is not delayed."
"No problem! Maybe after this week, I will invite you to eat a Intis dinner!" Quinn feels very well promised.
"Do I have to thank God for this?" Forsi asked amusedly.
She is different from Quinn, she is a layman of God of Steam and Mechanics.
During the talk, the two girls changed to another public carriage, came to Beckland eastern district, and found Dakholm's home.
This is a townhouse in a narrow alley with green plants on the walls and a messy outside environment.
Quinn walked to the door, raised his right hand, and tapped the door a few times with a unique rhythm.
With a squeak, the door that was not closed opened back with her knocking.
Quinn's slightly confused expression instantly turned serious, like a lion with a hairy hair.
She pulled out the Sanleng Thorn she had with her, carefully pushed the door, and slowly stepped inside.
Forsi also changed the state of inattentiveness, and somehow drew a dagger.
None of them smelled strange smells, but their rich experience made them keenly aware that something was wrong.
One step, two steps, three steps, Quinn and Forsi entered the home of Dakholm.
Then they saw the pale broken arm resting on the gas lamp, saw the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney on the coffee table, saw the flesh and blood on the floor, hanging on the coat rack!
Bone bones were shaved cleanly and piled up messily in front of the door.
And surrounded by bones, there is a head with empty eyes, it is Dakholm.
He still has a kind smile on his rounded face. It seems that everything is normal, and there is no **** smell in the interior of the house.
As a former clinic doctor and later best-selling author, Sequence Nine Extraordinary, Forsi has seen a more disgusting death scene than this. She took a picture of Quinn, who was tight and vomiting, and looked around, Shen Sheng Said:
"Klingus? "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Klingus?"
"He found that Dakholm was investigating the missing vagabond, so he tracked back and went directly to the door?"
"Or Dakholm found his whereabouts, but he was found?"
Quinn resisted the disgusting throbbing and nodded solemnly:
"pirate admiral is well-known for its fierceness and deceit ... and the strangeness here is also in line with his magical item performance."
"Cunning ..." Forsi suddenly startled and blurted out, "Will he still be waiting nearby, trying to ambush his main messenger?"
Quinn froze for a moment, and immediately answered in a panic:
"Very likely!"
That is Favored by Wind of Sequence Six, which is a great pirate with a magical item, and they only have Sequence Nine!
This is a very simple and easy comparison!
......
In the house opposite the Dakholm house, a man in his thirties with a unique wide chin and dark green pupils stood by the window, watching the Quinn and Forsi coldly pushing open the door and slowly entering.
This is exactly Vice Admiral Hurricane Klingus!
The black gloves worn by his left palm suddenly wriggled like vitality, and a thin layer of dark gold scales appeared on the surface.
Klingus showed a cruel and happy expression, and the dark green eyes turned into pale golden, ruthless vertical pupils.
......
The thought of Forsi turned, and he hurriedly pulled Quinn to the other side, avoiding the area directly opposite the door.
Next, she bit her white teeth and took off a chain of bracelets covered by the cuff lotus leaf.
There are three dark blue rough stones on the silver bracelet. The surface of the stone is full of burning marks and uneven.
Forsi ripped off a stone and shouted with ancient Hermes language:
"Door!"
She firmly grasped Quinn Dierra, and the stone of looks at glowed with an illusory light blue light.
The figures of the two women are blurred, almost invisible.
They saw all the things that are difficult to describe, even transparent as if they did n’t exist, they saw one after another of different colors, the Ming pure light China with endless knowledge, they entered the mysterious spiritual world,
In the weird world above reality, Forsi took Quinn in a certain direction.
After three breaths, they escaped from the state of transparent illusion, returned to reality, and returned to Beckland.
However, their place is no longer Dakholm's home, but an unmanned cemetery.
......
Klingus, wearing fine-scale gloves, quietly appeared at the door of Dakholm, glancing coldly into it.
He froze for a moment, frowned slightly, and said to himself:
"‘ Traveler ’?"
…………
In the cemetery.
"What's next?" Forsi gasped and gasped with fear and pain.
The bracelet is the magical item that she obtained in the adventure of obtaining Apprentice formula and materials. Except for the full moon every month, she will hear some strange and vague whispers, and there are no other hidden dangers.
There was five stones on the bracelet, which can let her walk through spiritual world and do something similar to teleportation, but now, there are only two left.
Quinn calmed down her heart and mind, Zheng Zhengtou said:
"Notify Miss Audrey first, then alarm!"
