The dark steam tram travels silently in the fog-shrouded city. This time period is when the fog in Old Turin is the thickest at night, and the visible range does not exceed ten meters. The ghost tram is selected to depart at this time. Make any noise, go along the track on the remote road, cleverly missed all the mounted police patrolling, stop and go, and picked up many mysterious guests along the way. Everyone sat in the gorgeous carriage with soundproof partitions. Separate each seat from each other.
Eve looked out the window. There was nothing in the darkness. There was an iron can that cut off everything. The enclosed space made her feel flustered.
“Where are you taking me?”
Eve started to have several points of regret. The detective in front of him is not worthy of trust, at least not worthy of complete trust. I should beware of him.
This is the compartment inside the carriage. Lorenzo is sitting across from Eve. He looks familiar and said slowly.
“Participate in Saab’s dance party.”
Speaking of Lorenzo, he took out a mask and handed it to Eve.
“Saab is mainly engaged in smuggling business. He has a group of Viking pirates who cooperate in the Northern Sea Territory. They are responsible for looting, sending the goods to the port of Rendona, and then Saab will sell the stolen goods.”
“Those are all ugly things, ordinary people have no purchasing power, except for the upper-class nobles, so he will regularly hold dance parties, although it is called a dance party, but in fact it is a trade fair, one hand pays for the delivery.”
Listening to Lorenzo’s words, Eve’s heart calmed slightly.
“The threshold for participating in this dance is very high. I also asked someone to get the tickets.”
“That coin?”
Eve was very impressed with that coin. It was the center of a country, but there was a currency in circulation that he had never seen before. Eve had to be wary.
“Yes, they usually call this a butcher coin, which is cast by Burlau Bird, the owner of the lower city district. Burlau Bird is engraved on it.”
Lorenzo explained the complexity of the lower city district to Eve.
Where there are people, there will be rules and classes, even in the chaotic and dirty lower city district.
“What you need to do to govern a region is to unify the currency. Now everyone knows that coins and banknotes printed with lions are hard currency in the world, and coins printed with Burlau Bird in the lower city district are the mainstream. Every butcher coin All can be traded directly, and in the black market you can use it to exchange for any currency.”
“You can understand that the entire lower city district is a huge casino, and the butcher coin in your hand is your bargaining chip.”
As Lorenzo said, he took out a few more and gave them to Eve, starting with a heavy hand, not knowing what precious metal they were used for casting.
“Saab is very cautious. His business is very profitable. Everyone wants to replace him. Normally he hides in the heavily guarded bunker. But this time he will attend the dance party. That is the only opportunity we can directly contact him. .”
“He won’t let people know the location of the ball. Every time there is a ball, a postman will send a letter to the nobles, inform the station of the station, and then leave at midnight.
Lorenzo put on a mask for himself as he spoke. It was a brass mask with sporadic gears inlaid on the edges for decoration.
“So don’t we know where we are going?”
Eve also put on the mask, with feathers on the edges, like a keen bird. She looked out the window and it was still pitch black and there was nothing.
“Yes.”
Lorenzo nodded.
“Although Saab is a Viking, he is never reckless, and even said he was too cautious.”
In my impression, Viking is a group of reckless men. They think that it is a glorious thing to die on the battlefield. Their souls will be brought back to the Heroic Spirit Hall by valkyrie, where they will join the never-ending banquet of the gods and ancestors. This belief was very strong in the ignorant era a few hundred years ago. This group of desperate Vikings once hit the door of Old Turin.
It’s a pity that the times have changed. Under the continuous artillery fire, all beliefs will be shaken. When the war airship filled with ammunition skimmed over Kingdom’s airspace, everything from the old age was swept into the grave.
“How do you know this.”
Eve asked suddenly, looking at Lorenzo with blue and green eyes under the mask. Under the brass mask was an unfathomable identity.
“You are a detective, you have butcher coin, and you know so many secrets, how did you do it.”
Eve has conditions to believe that Lorenzo is a 2. This guy behaves like a big brother from the very beginning. He is more like a wanted boss than a detective.
This had to make Eve wary. Now that Lorenzo’s weapon is on him, she has a complete advantage.
For Eve’s question, Lorenzo was silent for a few seconds, then smiled calmly.
“I said I have a great buddy, these all are what he told me, do you believe it?”
I am afraid that no one would have thought that the noble Burlau would become Lorenzo’s backup. After all, the class gap between the two was too huge. One was the emperor in the dark and the other was an unknown detective.
“Actually, whether I answer you or not, you will have questions about me, don’t you? We are just allies united by our interests. Such alliances are the strongest and most fragile. When our interests diverge, we will become enemies. .”
Lorenzo spoke indifferently, not sensibly like ordinary people.
“Eve, the lower city district is a huge casino, and even life is a gambling game. You can’t control anything except yourself and the cards in your hand.”
Gray-blue eyes stared at her, her voice calm and powerful.
“The first bet is whether I am trustworthy and how. If you feel that I am credible, the action will continue, if you feel that I am not trustworthy, it is too late to leave now.”
Putting a finger up, Lorenzo finally said.
Eve was silent, she was struggling.
I am the Princess of the Phoenix family. Just like Lorenzo said, I am a noble identity. If Lorenzo plots a bad idea, I am now the sheep who goes to the wolf den, but if I don’t make any achievements, my father will definitely find a way. Call yourself out of Suaran Hall.
With safety on one side and dream on the other, Eve made the decision without even thinking about it.
“If you dare to swindle me, I swear I will kill you.”
The girl said fiercely fiercely, then leaned back on the chair, waiting to arrive at the ball.
This is really a stubborn person. If it weren’t for her origin, perhaps Eve could really be a good detective.
Lorenzo didn’t say much. Everything went smoothly so far tonight. From the time the girl accepted Lorenzo’s invitation, he knew that she would not give up so much, just because she was a child of the Phoenix family.
Only the undying bird was born from the ashes, not a free-range chicken.
The carriage shook slightly, and there were faint conversations in the compartment for 4 weeks, and finally everything disappeared.
In the end, the attendant knocked on the door and informed that the two had arrived.
According to Lorenzo’s script, the two of them will be lovers tonight. Although Eve didn’t understand why it wasn’t a lady and his male waiter, she didn’t say anything in the weird atmosphere of 2 weeks, so she was dragged away by Lorenzo.
The white mist of steam rose slowly, making the air warm.
The small platform is already full of people, most of them dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing different masks. They are the buyers of tonight’s prom, because no one can recognize who is wearing a mask, but in fact, even if they know each other, they will remain silent. This dance is like a beautiful dream, and nothing should be remembered after waking up.
The lights were dim, and Eve could only see gray fog and pitch black after 4 weeks of watching. She only knew that she was in the lower city district, but she didn’t know where.
Looking towards the sky, the familiar black shadows were still swimming in the clouds, she was slightly rest assured.
“If you don’t understand, please keep silent. Our identity tonight is a newly joined couple. Saab will be wary of new people joining in. Don’t show off.”
Eve nodded did not speak. At this moment, the attendant walked out, bowed and took you to the ball.
It was a winding road with dim lights as the companions. There was nothing except these, and the gunmen followed the team to prevent anyone from leaving.
Eve suddenly smelled a weird smell while traveling, and then more light rose.
There is a red carpet at the foot of the welcoming guests, but from the faint light, there is a ruin-like decay nearby. The little faint light comes from the candle. After the faint light, there are old and dry faces, just like that trend. Light dead.
Lorenzo tensed her, and then Eve saw more. There was a stench in the dark, something seemed to be flowing slowly, and a scream of sobbing came faintly.
So the closed door opened.
It was like the gate of paradise, endless light gushing from the front gate, the fragrance of wine and singing, the coin crashed together to make the intoxicating sound of crash-bang, and the lazy moan was constant, with an atmosphere of restlessness. The guests all cry out in surprise, and then hurried to the paradise paradise, frantically like a religious believer.
Mead and cheese, wealth and beauty, it is a taboo that can satisfy everyone, as long as you are willing to sacrifice yourselves to join.
“Lorenzo…what is this?”
Eve stood in front of the door, and his mind was stunned in the original place as if it had been hit by a huge shock, but Lorenzo didn’t mean to comfort her, but said lightly in her ear.
“Welcome to the dark side of Old Turin, Eve Phoenix Young Lady.”
