Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic
Chapter 48
Once again, Zwei deceived those who believed in him, and although it was indispensable to him, he was always overwhelmed by the guilt that came from within, and it was because of this guilt that he made up his mind to complete his mission.
Zwei made it clear to everyone that he wanted to return to Moreliano, claiming that he had been away from home for too long, and that he was no longer needed in Nu Gate Hall, and that it was time for him to return home to marry a wife and have children.
After learning of this, the people of Numen Hall felt guilty in their hearts, in their impression that Zwei had been busy, and there was no time for love and hobbies, they blamed themselves for this incident, and vowed to fulfill Twei's wishes, so they spontaneously took action, and used the enthusiasm of all the people of Numen Hall to launch a vast activity that lasted for several years, that is, during that period, the agriculture and animal husbandry of Numen Hall continued to develop, attracting many merchants, and for a time, Numen Hall was second only in prestige to the prosperous town of Lulu。
Therefore, in this operation, a chamber of commerce was established in the Numen Hall, and several leaders were elected by the popular vote to become the administrators of the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce replaced Zwei's work and began to trade with foreign merchants, and in order to sell their goods at a good price, several leaders successively walked out of the Numen Hall, wanting to know the price of goods circulating in the market, and planned to encourage the merchants of various towns to carry out chambers of commerce like Numen Hall, so that the circulation of trade would inevitably be more convenient than now.
It was the expedition of several leaders that made them waver in their determination to help Zwei fulfill his wish, and they found that the economy of the entire imperial kingdom had almost collapsed, and the great exploitation of the lords had changed the currency in circulation from silver coins to the cheapest iron coins, and they learned from this expedition that it was completely impossible to establish a chamber of commerce system in the current imperial kingdom.
The last expedition was led by the leader Gristeen and two young men he selected, who had served as a priest in Numen Hall, he naturally got the support of the whole of Numen Hall, so he held the position of priest while becoming the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Numen Hall, and this last expedition, he wanted to bring Jack with him, but Jack refused him, and had no choice but to choose two young and strong young men to help him.
Gristeen sensed the frustration of the previous expeditions after returning from the expedition, and this expedition also made him deeply aware of the embarrassment of the imperial kingdom at this time, and finally his end was as fruitless as the previous expeditions, and after returning to the Numen Hall, his first words were to scold the king of Faro, and asked the air why the world had become the way it is, and the air would not answer him.
The
Chamber of Commerce movement in Numen Hall failed, but the Chamber of Commerce that lasted for several years still brought a lot of benefits to Numen Hall, and the residents of Numen Hall gave seven of the money to Gristin, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, as a way to send Zwei back to Morelliano, and after the dissolution of the Chamber of Commerce, Gristeen did not disappoint everyone, and handed over all the money and the current flow bill to Zwei, and at the same time he also truthfully expressed his questions to Zwei in recent years.
"Your Excellency, you propose to return to Morelliano at this time, is it possible that you plan to change this absurd world?"
Zwei smiled and nodded.
"Forget it, this damn world can't be changed, if you told me your true purpose when you first said you wanted to go home, I would definitely try to wake you up, but now... Forget it, I know you're sober, and since you're going to do this, you must have your own plans, so I'll just ask, and I wish you all the best. "
Seeing that Gristeen was about to leave, Zwei stopped him, and as if announcing something important, he held his head high and said solemnly: "The golden age is coming, and I have done all this just to welcome it." "
Gristeen didn't speak, leaving only a sneer, and then pushed the door open and left.
Zwei knew all the things that had happened in the hall over the years, and he knew the process of the Chamber of Commerce from its opening to its disintegration, and he could understand Gristeen's despair at the moment, but there was nothing he could do about it.
From that day on, Jack became Zwei's personal bodyguard, protecting him wherever he went, and the two of them often traveled back and forth to various towns in the imperial kingdom in carriages, using all the funds to entertain the lords and local nobles who were about to go to Morelliano, trying to return to the noble circle he had been detached from, and it turned out that he was not wrong, and he managed to get on good terms with many nobles, even if the process disgusted him, the success of the first plan made him see infinite possibilities.
In this way, Zwei only lacks funds, including the purchase of real estate in Moregliano, taking care of all the nobles' expenses, travel expenses, and a series of funds, he checked the Numer Hall turnover sent by Gristeen in recent years, even if he comes for another ten years, this money is not enough for him to buy a property in Moregliano, unless he immediately like the other lords, completely drain all the people in the Numen Hall over the years, and destroy this place, he can buy a house in Moregliano, but unfortunately he can't do it so ruthlessly。
Therefore, Zwei planned to take other means, and he went to great lengths to contact the red man in front of the king of Faro, the lord of Lulu Town, Shree Gossi, and later obtained a letter that he might go to the appointment, which was basically a tactful refusal among the nobles, but for this possibility, Zwei replied with a letter, after which he purchased gold, silver and jewelry, and chartered a restaurant in Moreliano to entertain him.
Perhaps it coincided with Slai's itinerary, he arrived at the restaurant two hours late that day, and the drowsy Tswey woke up immediately after seeing Slai, and after confirming that the young man in front of him was Slay Geshy, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him flatteringly.
"Slae-slae, thank you for your willingness to meet me, actually, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shlay interrupted him, looked up at the ceiling, then looked out the window, and then smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said, "You seem to have brought someone else with you." "
Zwyway had a premonition that something was wrong, and called Jack in through the window, and immediately explained in horror, "I'm sorry, Lord Sly, I don't mean anything to hurt you, please believe me, he's... He is..."
Jack jumped in outside the window and landed smoothly, seeing Zwin's panicked appearance, he wanted to help explain, but at the moment when he was about to speak, the dagger was already attached to his neck, and the other hand on his side also held the dagger, which was a second-hand preparation to prevent Jack from retreating.
Jack could only retreat, so the second dagger was pointed at his heart, and he jumped up when he saw this, so the dagger left a scratch on his body, and after jumping up, he immediately wrapped one leg around his neck with the speed that the other party had no time to react, and at the same time adjusted his position, went around behind him, kicked the opponent's leg hard, and finally hit him in the back with his elbow, pressing him on his body, completely subduing.
Sensing that something was wrong, Shlay immediately called out the others, pulled out the knife hidden in his clothes, and put it on Zwei's neck, shouting, "Don't move!"
Jack saw the blackmailed Zwei, he wanted to save him, but there was nothing he could do, he felt as if the elbow just hit an iron plate, although he subdued the other party, but he also lost an arm, and now if the killer under him is released, not only Zwei, but both of them will die here.
In the next second, three more killers dressed in black appeared in this room, but they didn't act rashly, even if Shlai was urging eagerly, they could only answer with an embarrassed face: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to, we can't beat him, I suggest you don't act rashly, he is the strongest 'assassin' recognized by Black Flag, Black." "
"We have no ill will!" Tsway, who was threatened, reminded tremblingly, "It's true, Lord Sly, I just wanted you to help me get back to Moreliano, I didn't expect things to turn out like this." "
At this moment, Shlai can neither advance nor retreat, if he kills Zwei, the killers are expected to scatter and flee, leaving only himself, if he lets Zwei go, he can't guarantee that Jack will not kill himself.
Just as Shlay was in a dilemma, Zway added, "I've got something you're going to love, and I'm willing to give it to you as a gift." "
Zwei's words aroused Sly's curiosity, and he chose to take a gamble, so he put down the knife in his hand, and Jack also let go of the killer under him, and neither of them did anything superfluous.
"If you want to talk, let him out", Shlay was referring to Jack, and then he walked up to the killer next to Jack and asked in a low voice, "Can you still move?" "
Jack walked up to Zwei's side, he was worried about Zwei's safety and refused to go out, Zwei couldn't make up his mind for a while, he was also afraid, but when he thought that this might be the last chance, if he retreated at this moment, everything would be in vain, he didn't want everyone's efforts to be in vain, and he didn't want to disappoint the people who helped him, so he also gambled.
At Zwei's insistence, Jack and the other three killers walked to a corner away from the room, and the three killers talked and laughed, but Jack couldn't laugh at all.
"It's really dark, did you just see it, he knocked the kite down with a "bang", and the kite hasn't been beaten so badly. "
"Sure enough, the black is the strongest, he is the real lost one, unlike the kite and the shadow. "
"Who is right, the kite loses, the shadow is not necessarily, and the kite himself still thinks that he can fight with the shadow for a few rounds, I dare say, the kite can't even touch the shadow's fingers and falls down like this time. "
Now the Black Flag has actually become what it is now, in the past, even private chats were not allowed, Jack was shocked by the change of the Black Flag, but now the top priority is Twei's safety, and only Twei, Shregosiu, and the killer named Kite are left in the room.
Although worried, he could do nothing but wait anxiously.
After a while, the kite appeared here mysteriously, he sat sullenly next to the three killers, the killers didn't dare to say anything more when they saw such a kite, the atmosphere returned to calm, Jack also felt that the current atmosphere was like a black flag, and because the kite left there, Jack could finally rest assured.
Jack didn't know what Kite and Shlai were talking about, he just waited, waited for a long time, from the night before to dawn, the three killers had slept peacefully, leaving only Jack and Kite waiting.
At this moment, the door of the house opened, and the three killers also woke up to the sound of the door opening, and the five did not step forward, but watched from a distance, watching Zwei step by step to send Shree Gossho to the carriage, and they also set off behind the carriage.
Jack walked up to Zwei's side and whispered, "Nothing happened?" "
Tswey couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart any longer, and turned to hug Jack and cheered.
"I was right! Mistress Shray is a good man, and we're going to Moreliano soon!".
