Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
In the early morning, Earl Hall woke up at the time it was most used to and took a walk in its own garden and on the lawn.
After he watched the beloved horses, he returned to the villa third floor and changed out clothes. His wife Caitlin had also got up and was instructing the personal maid to communicate the arrangements just thought.
"It's time for breakfast." Earl Hall stood beside the coat rack and smiled to his wife.
At this moment, he heard a noise outside, and it was getting closer and closer, without calming down.
Growing his brow invisible, Earl Hall glanced sideways at his close-fitting servant.
Without the need for the big noble to speak, the close-fitting servant immediately walked to the window and pulled away the remaining tulle curtain.
After the brush, more light shined into the bedroom, clear.
The close-fitting male servant turned his gaze to the window and glanced left and right, his expression suddenly becoming dignified.
He looked back, glanced at Mrs. Earl who was still talking to the maid, and quickly walked to Earl Hall, lowering his voice:
"Parade! Many people are marching!"
Parade? Earl Hall is no stranger to this term. As a large aristocrat of Ruen and the second largest shareholder of the Constant's coal-steel consortium, he has seen many workers gather to march, demanding a weekly salary increase and stipulating the maximum working hours. During the month, Beckland also erupted several marches and protests due to various problems, but all of them were quickly quelled without any impact.
The eyes moved back and forth for a few seconds on the face of the close-fitting male servant. Earl Hall's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was keenly aware that today's parade might not be the same as he imagined.
He walked quietly and came to the window.
At a glance, Earl Hall's eyes suddenly solidified.
With the advantage of being in third floor, he saw that the black people on the far road were all people, they gathered together and rushed in this direction, just like the huge dark cloud that would cover Beckland.
"bread!"
"We want bread!"
The cry of tens of thousands or even more people gathered together, and gradually became louder and clearer, listening to Earl Hall's scalp slightly numb.
When he participated in activities such as the Mass on Memorial Day, he had not seen so many people and heard a superimposed word, but at that time, he was barely in the crowd and belonged to this whole. Part of it, and today, he is one of the targets of that surging "tide".
Earl Hall could n’t help but look at the back of the parade and found that there was no end at all, but he had rich experience in affairs and could make judgments based on some details observed.
He can see very few policemen and soldiers on both sides of the parade. Compared with the large crowd, it is like a wave of waves caused by the sea tide, which is extremely small.
Earl Hall believes that the march against Queen District will surely be under the most powerful control, and that no large number of soldiers and police will be sent over. The current situation can only explain one problem:
There are too many people participating in the parade!
So that the soldiers and police were scattered too far!
A parade of more than 100,000 people? Perhaps more than that ... the parade caused by food shortages can be transformed into riots and robbing at any time ... It still looks very orderly ... is it because there are many organizers and leaders? Damn, didn't MI9 and church see any signs? How can parades of this size be organized overnight? Even if Beckland has been turned into a gunpowder barrel, a lot of matches are needed to ignite it! Earl Hall thoughts flashed in his mind, his expression more and more dignified.
"bread!"
"We want bread!"
The shouting became more and more tidy and louder, like a tsunami in the city.
At this time, the male and female servants in the Earl Hall mansion noticed the movement, and came to the window and looked out of the gate.
Their faces turned pale immediately, as if they had encountered the flood of the **** and could not avoid themselves.
"bread!"
"We want bread!"
Countless voices converge together, and the black-headed head brings a strong sense of oppression.
Earl Hall awakened abruptly, and subconsciously asked someone to telegraph the royal family and let them organize the army to suppress it.
When he made further observations, he found that many people in the parade were wearing military uniforms and were physically disabled.
"bread!"
"We want bread!"
The soldiers who maintain order are on guard while marching sympathetically with looks at, the muzzle of which points to the sky.
These people have their comrades in the past, their parents, wives and children, their friends and neighbors, and a large number of people, just like them, who just want to not starve to death, how can they not Feeling compassionate and full of sympathy?
At first, this kind of emotion may only have occurred in the hearts of 5-6 soldiers and police, but it quickly spread to almost everyone.
In the past, under the supervision of the officer ’s pistol, they will definitely numbly accept all orders, but now, many people are thinking about:
Which **** raises me to shoot, and I will shoot him to death!
"bread!"
"We want bread!"
In a shout, the face of the Earl Hall turned a little bit white as a result of the large crowd gathering.
He could n’t help but withdraw his gaze, looked at the guards and bodyguards gathered outside the house, and looked at the Church of the Night Extraordinary who were responsible for protecting his family around him, and found that the two reactions were different.
The guards and bodyguards are full of fear. Some of the Extraordinary expressions hired by him hidden inside have become quite serious, and the protectors of Church of the Night have a lot of sympathy and compassion in their eyes.
For church, I may be equivalent to a thousand believers here, and there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more ... Earl Hall instantly produced such an enlightenment. I have a clear understanding of the consequences:
Even if you are armed with teeth, you ca n’t fight so many marchers with only a small number of guards. Once a conflict breaks out, Church of the Night ’s Extraordinary ca n’t count on it, and your family can escape under the hired bodyguards Even if Goddess is favored by Queen District!
For the first time, Earl Hall realized the power of many people and the horror that so many people gathered together.
When he thought about turning around, he immediately turned his head and told the personal servant:
"Telegram telegram to the Prime Minister, telegram to other nobles, saying that I am willing to take the lead and donate most of the food!
"Please ask them to keep calm!"
As the radio waves passed away and exchanged, the nobles living in Queen District knew the attitude of Earl Hall.
The current Duke of Negan expression looked solemnly out of the window, silent for a while, sighed, said to the male secretary beside him:
"Protect the mansion well, give up the tough attitude and follow Earl Hall.
"Also, take the batch of food hoarding merchants as an example!"
After the upper class society reached a preliminary agreement, with the plan to deal with it, Earl Hall finally fell back to its original position, and had the ability to go to the restaurant and meet with his family.
When passing through the door of the restaurant, he subconsciously glanced at the situation inside.
The wife stood by the window, looking out with anxiety; the eldest son was pacing back and forth, looking very angry and anxious; the daughter stood beside his wife, and the looks at procession marched extremely quietly, like the tide.

Misty Sea, The Future.
Cattleya walked back to the deck on the long bridge formed by the starlight.
"Captain, you must manage Frank this time!" boatswain Nina rushed over and shouted loudly.
Cattleya's melancholy and sad mood was broken and frowned slightly:
"What did he do?"
Nina said angrily:
"He asked me if I would have a baby. He wanted to study how life was conceived and how the soul was born!"
"... Did you hit him?" Cattleya said silently for a second.
"Fight!" Nina didn't hide it at all.
Cattleya immediately looked at Frank not far away, ignoring his swollen nose and face:
"You should study the reproduction of fish first."
"Okay." Frank scratched his head and heeded the captain's orders.
Cattleya immediately nodded to the pale "Bloodless" Heath Doyle that grew out of the cabin shadow:
"It's alright."
Heath Doyle has obviously relaxed:
"Yes, Captain."
After being so troubled by the crew, Cattleya finally returned to the real world. While they were not paying attention, they rubbed forehead and flew into captain's cabin.
Next, she closed the place with magic, and took out the "Wishing Magic Lamp" which is also ranked at the top in 0 level sealed item.
After preparing, Cattleya sat down at the desk, lowered his head, recited Mister Fool's esteemed name with Giant language, and reported Queen of Mysteries to him.
The Klein, which was carrying a horse lantern to survey the terrain around the northern city-state ruins, turned its head slightly, listened for a few seconds, and then followed the process to enter above the grey mist.
He immediately sat down to the high back chair belonging to Fool at the top of the mottled long table, spreading spirituality to the dark red star representing Hermit.
"Queen of Mysteries has preliminary clues about the original island and intends to leave the safe channel for a long-term search on a large scale ...
"That original island was accidentally discovered by Mister Russell Great Emperor. It is likely that one of his nine secrets tomb is hidden on it ... This is the only one that has not been found and destroyed. It is the hope of the return of Great Emperor ...
"However, the creatures of that primitive island seem to worship the unknown power from the starry sky, just understand the starry sky that will be polluted ... you have to remind Lady Hermit, let her write a letter admonishing Queen of Mysteries ...
"'Wish the magic lamp' ..." Wish the magic lamp "? It turns out that this 0 level sealed item is in the hands of Queen of Mysteries ... It is a combination of Master of Miracles Extraordinary characteristics and the mysterious characteristics of the origin, and even True God cannot be crushed ..." Klein just finished listening For "0-05", immediately adjust the angle of view and enlarge the image of the kettle-shaped golden "magic lamp".
Suddenly, the wick of the "wish magic lamp" spout ignited by itself!
PS: On the first day of the first lunar month, I wish you all a good year!
