Soul Echo

In just one day, the merchants of Chartres were called together.

Second day, without announcing, the Chartres Merchant Group was established.

On the 3rd day, the group of businessmen who received funds from the Church of Art and Beauty began to rely on their contacts to purchase the grain reserves of the landlords and squires around Chartres.

In the merchant group, there are grain merchants, meat merchants and fur merchants - even a few butchers from Chartres were persuaded by the merchants to join the merchant group.

Then on the fourth day, the residents of Chartres discovered that where the grain was sold, the grain merchant had posted a notice stating their new rules.

Although it is strange, those rules did not have any impact on their lives. Naturally, they did not arouse heated discussions among the residents of Chartres. They were only mentioned before and after meals.

The only two hotels in Chartres thought that the 'a certain amount' rule would affect their business, but when their boss went to ask about it, they found that it had no effect on them. It's even good for them.

Because the food resources of Chartres have been integrated, the stores of all grain merchants have become 'sales ports'. If you want to pick up the goods, you have to go to the warehouse with a 'ticket' to collect them yourself.

Not having to travel a few more places to replenish the stockpile, and having someone to help with loading, is a good thing for them too.

On the fifth day, the members of the Kambra family finally came to buy food.

The merchant group purchased all the grains in Chartres except for their own use. Even the pigs, sheep and chickens raised by the farmers were owned by the merchant group, but they were still owned by the merchant group. Raised in those peasant homes.

Today Chartres can only buy food through a conglomerate of merchants—even the Combras.

The Gombra family this time came to buy food 'in bulk' either for other reasons, but because it was a 'sunny day', and according to the promise that Baron Gombra made to Lily, he needed the weather to be sunny When the time comes, send your own team to clean up those altars.

Actually, the last few days have been sunny, but Gombra Baron has been inactive. Until today, Lily finally completed her 'arrangement', and he followed Lily's 'imagination' and walked by himself. into this trap.

The Gombra family not only bought a lot of food, but also bought a lot of wild survival supplies. It seems that the Gombra family is planning to let their team stay in the wild for a few days.

On the sixth day, the Combra family's team set off. Surprisingly, that team actually had muskets.

When Zhong Ye and the others broke into the Kambra Manor, they did not see any soldier holding a musket. According to the attitude of those soldiers at that time, they did not know the identity of Zhong Ye and the others. Yes, because of this, Zhong Ye was surprised that there were no muskets in the hands of those soldiers, but the team that set off today had muskets in their hands.

It was also on the afternoon of the sixth day that the envoy of the Combra family monarch came to Chartres.

After the messenger came to Chartres, he kept bowing to Lily, saying that his master did not know that Baron Combra was a cult.

At the time, Lily didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say.

But it was precisely because of her silence that the messenger became more frightened.

On the seventh day, heavy snow suddenly hit, and in just one night, Chartres changed back to the appearance of a World of Ice and Snow.

It was also on this day that Lily handed over the supervision of the business group to the Church of Art and Beauty.

However, one day passed, two days passed...

On the tenth day, the Gombra family still did not respond.

This attitude made Zhong Ye and Lily Lieber suspicious, so they stopped waiting and chose to take the initiative.

But when they came to the Gombra family, they were told that Gombra Baron had passed away - four days ago.

At that time, the team sent by the Gombra family had just set off. That night, heavy snow swept the city. Gombra Baron suffered a heart attack and died in bed. He was not killed until the next morning. people found.

- This is because Baron Gombra doesn't like being around, so there are no servants around at night.

"Where's the old Baron's body?"

Zhong Ye stared at the middle age person who had just inherited the title from the father, "You haven't held any Funeral?"

"No no no, of course we held a funeral!" The middle age person was startled and shook his head hurriedly, "We don't want the father's sleep to be disturbed, of course we held a funeral! "

His voice was a little high, his face was a little flustered, and he was sweating coldly, it was obvious at a glance that he was lying.

However, not having a funeral is not enough...that is, it's something else!

"What are you trying to hide?" Zhong Ye lowered his head and asked coldly, "What are you hiding?"

"Bu, bullshit!"

middle age person suddenly became furious, "Enough! My father just passed away, and you want to take away our power..."

"Shut up!"

Zhong Ye His eyes widened, and he let out a violent drink.

The middle age person's voice stopped abruptly, he stared at Zhong Ye blankly, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.

"Is there something wrong with the old Baron's body?" Zhong Ye's voice was like a cold, wriggling tentacle, which penetrated into his ears, "The body is shriveled, and there is no blood all over the body, just like that. Even many skeletons were dissolved, and it felt only flesh and nothing else--isn't it?!"

"No, no!"

middle age person screamed, looked Towards Zhong Ye's eyes were clearly written 'fear' and 'panic', "father is not like that!"

Zhong Ye looked at him coldly, "So, what about old Baron's body? No Has it been buried?"

"Of course it has been buried! It's been cremated!" the middle age person yelled.

Zhong Ye expression congeals, roaring: "Who is the priest who carried out the funeral for him?!"

"Yes-"

middle age The person's voice disappeared again, and he opened his mouth wide, the name that was about to be blurted out in his throat.

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead and rolled down.

"Who is it?" Zhong Ye took a step forward, glared at the middle age person, and continued to ask.

"Yes..." The middle age person murmured, unable to say a word for a long time.

As can be seen from his reaction, the 'painted skin' disguised as Gombra Baron has probably escaped.

Not only one 'painted skin' escaped, but other 'painted skins' hidden in the city may have also escaped - in the identity of the team sent by the Gombra family!

"Your manor, a lot of people have died recently, right?"

Zhong Ye grabbed the middle age person's shoulder, forcing him to look at himself, "Those corpses What about the people who found the 'corpses'? The people who lived with the 'dead people' day and night? You don't think you can make them all shut up just because of your orders?"

Lily Lieber and the others who accompanied Zhong Ye to the manor looked at him in surprise, not quite understanding why Zhong Ye suddenly became like this.

But now Zhong Ye has no leisure to pay attention to these things, he squeezed his voice out of his teeth: "You have been abandoned, if you tell the truth, there is still a chance... You think, those In order to 'finish', will the monster put any curse on you?"

The middle age person who had planned to keep his mouth shut when he heard this sentence, his eyes trembled.

"Save, save me!" the middle age person shouted desperately and mournfully, "They've escaped! They're going... to..."

Suddenly, he I found myself unable to make a sound.

Immediately, he noticed the panic and panic in the eyes of the people around him when they looked towards him, so he heart trembled and looked down...

The melting head fell from his neck It went down, smashed to the ground, and fell into a puddle of meat.

The torso that Zhong Ye held in his hands also slackened and fell to the ground, turning into a puddle of bloody mush.

"...Fuck!"
