Maxi looked at Cloris, who bowed her head and said, "It's all up to the bishop's arrangement. I thought the church would give everything."
Maxi wanted to "fight" for the girl, but Luntia suddenly said: "But I still don't feel relieved to hand over this money to others. There are too many greedy hungry ghosts. Every time they touch a piece of fat, their hands will rot." It's full of oil...the city that never sleeps needs a just mayor, Cloris, if you come to help me manage this city, I think all the funds will have a proper place."
This is to say, as long as Cloris agrees to his invitation, the 80 Aegis will still be under the management of the girl, and Luentia will not take any of it.
"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your love, but I'm sorry..." Cloris declined politely, "I can't bear such a big responsibility with my ability."
"Have you figured it out yet?" Luentia was not angry at the girl's rejection, as if he wouldn't care about any answer from Cloris.
Cloris said firmly: "The 80 Aegis, I will have someone transfer it to the bank account of the Duke's Mansion."
Luntia nodded, his eyes were indifferent, looking at Cloris as if she was looking at a dead person.He didn't care about the girl's talent, he just upheld his arrogance and gave her a chance to survive.
"As soon as possible," he said.
There will be no chance later.
265. Angeline Highlights
Cloris was very preoccupied at the next dance, and the delicious desserts provided by the hotel made it hard for her to swallow.The girl thought about Luntia's purpose of seeing her. Could it be that she really liked her so-called talent?
Taking a ten thousand step back, even if she can manage the city that never sleeps so that the city is safe and the people are peaceful, and the roads are not picked up, it will not be achieved overnight.
"You don't need to care about that savage, how much tax he collected from you today, just ask him to spit out his capital and interest in the future." After staying away from Luentia, Maxian comforted Cloris, "Now he needs to take care of the glory. The construction of the tower is not suitable for internal strife, so we can only wrong the Gospel Correctional Institute first, and after the construction of the miracle is completed, I will let the Abam family give you the commercial port."
Cloris looked up suddenly.
"This is Robert's arrangement. He has the oldest seniority in the city that never sleeps, so he won't be unprepared for everything." Maxi waved his hand to Bernice, who was winking not far away, and said, "You can trust Kamol Abba M."
"What about the rest?"
"Not for now, including his sister, the Duchess."
Cloris lowered her head in thought, and it seemed that Luntia had already been wrapped in nets, but she always felt that something was missing.
Reminiscent of Veronica's information, Cloris asked knowingly: "The Church and the Duke... are at odds?"
"Hmph, this kind of pagan in a wild place is also worthy of the spectacle of the contract?" Maxi sneered disdainfully.
"But didn't the Duke activate the tower of light before? What if..." Cloris said, "he crossed the church and made a private contract?"
Maxi's smile became warmer, and he explained patiently: "In order to reassure Luntia, the church let him sit in the main tower of wonders, but the authority of other ancillary buildings is firmly in the hands of the church. Forcibly contracting the wonders of losing ancillary buildings, the consequences It is countless times more serious than a person losing limbs."
According to Maxi, the main tower of the Radiance Tower certainly contains powerful laws, but the Church of the Sun has tampered with it during the design, weakening most of the functions that originally belonged to the main tower. If they don't cooperate, Luentia, who contracted with the Tower of Light, will forcefully run a program full of loopholes. At that time, model penetration and screen freezes will be regarded as minor problems.
"But what if he starts running?" Cloris asked.
"What ran?"
"I mean..." Cloris changed her words, "What if his contract succeeds? If he knows the church's attitude clearly, it is very likely that he will take risks."
Maxi thought for a while and said, "Clores, although you are very smart, I have to say that you know nothing about wonders...Of course, ordinary people don't need this knowledge." He explained, " The possibility of what you said is very slim. If he can do this, he can succeed in the contract by looking for natural wonders. There is no need to hang himself on the Tower of Radiance... However, your guess is also reasonable, I will always pay attention to the Tower of Radiance construction progress."
At the end of the ball, Veronica finally returned, and she took Vanessa Ferrell, who had slightly red eyes and still had a graceful demeanor.
"Clores, Vanessa had some misunderstanding with you, I asked her to come and apologize to you."
Veronica patted Vanessa's smooth back, and pushed the woman in front of the girl calmly.
Vanessa pretended to be calm, but inadvertently slanting her eyes to the side gave it away, and she said a little coyly, "I'm sorry..."
"Why do you apologize?" Cloris folded her arms on her chest and snorted coldly, "What did you do wrong?"
"I'm sorry……"
"You don't even know where you are wrong, how do I know what you did wrong?"
Vanessa hadn't met such an unforgiving girl for a long time. She gritted her teeth secretly and made up her mind: "I shouldn't count you..."
"Are you plotting against me!?" Cloris was stunned.
"Uh...?" Vanessa showed the same look.
Don't the girls know about this?But if she didn't know, why did she look at herself with that look when she left?
"What the hell did you do?!"
"I, I didn't tell about the existence of Maxi, and induced you to dance with Angeline..." Vanessa finally confessed, "I want you to be punished by the Church of the Sun..."
"Oh my God, I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person," Cloris whispered excitedly, her voice was well controlled and did not attract the attention of the guests, "Anjielin, how could you be with such a vicious person?" Women together?"
green tea!
Vanessa hated her teeth, she looked to Veronica for help, and the latter was also at a loss.
The palms and the backs of the hands are full of meat.
A bowl of water should be flat.
"Ahem," obviously, Veronica is not good at handling this kind of situation, she said, "Anyway, let's do this first, Cloris, don't bully Vanessa too much."
The succubus can see that Cloris is pretending to be stupid, and Vanessa will naturally not be deceived, but the more she knows, the more she will be angry at the girl's accusation.
Vanessa said: "I'm in my twenties, how can I be bullied by a little girl?"
The grievance she looked at Veronica clearly said: No matter how much you don't like me, you can't be so sideways!
"Forget it, Angeline, don't blame her too much," Cloris said softly, "Maybe she really knows her mistake."
"You translate for me..." Vanessa was about to be furious——
What is "maybe"? ?
But just as she blurted out, she heard Veronica persuade in a helpless voice: "Vanessa..."
"Huh..." Vanessa had already realized that this dangerous little green tea almost played with her in the palm of her hand. She took a deep look at Cloris and vowed to keep Angeline away from this woman, but no Now, therefore, she said sincerely, "Sorry, I sincerely apologize for my faux pas, and I hope you will forgive me."
Cloris was noncommittal, and she said, "If I were you, I would have already bought a boat ticket to the Sea of Floating Stars at Beigang, and leave this place as soon as possible."
"You!" The flower ornament on Vanessa's chest floated up again, but because of Angeline's love, is she going to be impatient to kick her out?
However, Vanessa saw Angeline shaking her head with cautious eyes.
Recalling the turmoil that Angeline told her about the possible turmoil in the city that never sleeps a few months ago, Vanessa regained her sanity.
The woman was born in the slums of Gulingting. Except for the land and property inherited from her father who only met a few times, Vanessa's achievements are mostly personal efforts.Her clothing line and fashion store are among the best in Floating Star Sea, and her childhood life has honed her to perfection.
Coming to the city that never sleeps is also the result of tirelessly pursuing Angeline's traces by relying on her personal network.
"I have a well-trained guard and a private boat that can leave at any time, so—" she said seriously, "I'm not going anywhere, Angeline, you must not abandon me!"
266. Preparation
Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, the evening wind was silent, and the whistling air flow stopped for a moment, as if accumulating a hysterical cry.
Cloris and Veronica walked on Luentia Avenue, the orange lights that symbolized the night were not as dim as in Nancheng, and the light stretched the figures long and wide, forming pairs.
"An Jielin, don't abandon me!"
Cloris imitated Vanessa's weird tune, making fun of it along the way.
"She apologized to you..." Veronica felt helpless.
"I admit that I have not suffered any actual loss, but that doesn't mean I will forgive her," Cloris said nonchalantly, "Veronica, you are indeed quite welcome."
"See how precious I am?"
"I just think you'd be more comfortable living with those women."
"Why..." Veronica leaned closer to her face, "Are you jealous?"
"I just feel sorry for you and those women," Cloris sighed. "If you didn't harass me, that Vanessa wouldn't play such a small game, and you don't need to be so embarrassing."
The two turned into the small road station. The train stopped on the north-south longitudinal track. There was no one in the car. Veronica hugged the girl from her ribs and whispered to her earlobe: "What are you still talking about? What are you talking about?" Sooner or later it has to be mine."
Cloris didn't mind treating Veronica as a human leather sofa at all. Sitting on the succubus' lap, she asked plainly, "So what? Why don't you tell me where you were at the ball before?"
"Carson is about to act, and something will happen tomorrow at the latest," Veronica said, "He wants me to kill you, or at least let you stay out of the business of the port."
This was exactly as Cloris expected.
The existence of the Evangelical Correctional Institute hindered the turmoil in the commercial port to a certain extent, because Cloris, the priests of the order and the troops stationed by the Flame Knights in the commercial port can solve many crises, and the Evangelical Correctional Institute is in the hands of young girls. Strict controls were adopted on the commercial port, and under a series of effective overall arrangements, the spread of the curse was successfully prevented.
This is important, otherwise more troops will only deepen the chaos.
Cloris asked: "Are you sure that Vanessa will stay in the city that never sleeps?"
"She's a tailor like you," said Veronica.
"Then she must be quick to kill."
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Veronica contradicted herself and rolled her eyes, "Vanessa is afraid of nothing but blood, not even a chicken."
As soon as the two returned to the Gospel Correctional Institute, Cloris received a personal letter from Karen: Wink's senior had arrived at the clinic.
Considering the status of "Shaqima", since he chose to let Karen assist Walsh Kahler, he also transferred the contact of Wenk to him, and it would not waste a few hours on the road.
Cloris asked Wenk to look for the city guard Karen in Ant Lane as soon as he was notified. This also caused Karin to receive the news as soon as he arrived in the afternoon, before his butt was hot.
The wording of Karen's letter was vague, and even if anyone got it, it would be difficult to deduce any useful information.
"The doctor arrived at the clinic two hours after we left," Cloris put the letter aside, looked at Veronica and said, "Could it be your wish come true?"
"Who knows?" Veronica replied, "These hidden things, the dreamland only listens to your prayers, and will not give you any certain process and results, unless you keep making small wishes, embedded The rivets that stabilize the path one by one, so that a clear trajectory can be seen a little bit."
"It's as if fate has been arranged."
"It's almost like writing a novel, but no one can see every detail." Veronica said, "It's not too much, as long as there is a desire for a general direction."
"It's terrible, fate." Cloris sighed, "Making a wish is so omnipotent, why don't you make a wish that I will fall in love with you directly?"
"Do you think I didn't do it?" Veronica picked up Cloris's chin, and kissed her lips and teeth, "But I'm not sure if the wish will come true, and the wish that only wants results can easily be realized in reality. distortion."
In other words, if one directly ignores cause and effect with a huge willpower and pursues an inevitable ending, then the core of the facts is likely to be distorted——
The same is love, the bold and enthusiastic little wild cat may become sickly, and it is also having sex, but the image of the lover may be polluted in an unpredictable process and become a deformed tentacle monster.
The realization of that kind of wish must be accompanied by an extremely strong determination to give up everything. Veronica will not be so desperate, even if she is abandoned from beginning to end, she will not be blackened into a demon who abandons everything...
Oh, she already is.
"Don't bite your tongue," Cloris stood up, "come with me to see that girl, to be honest, I don't have any chance of saving her."
Although Cloris proposed a plan to Wen Ke, it has been delayed for a month, and her condition can no longer be described as deteriorating. If the terminal illness completely establishes the date of death.
But she still wants to hear the opinions of Wink's seniors and provide hospice care for Shanna.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much," Veronica said.
"I don't have any remorse," Cloris shook her head slightly, "I just feel too powerless against force majeure, my evangelical correctional facility is like Shanna, it is a duckweed in the wind and rain, and it will be blown away at any time , sinking."
Veronica listened quietly, and the girl continued: "Homelessness is not my choice, Veronica, I don't have a lesbos, but I also want to build my own oasis, life shouldn't be like this …Unable to take any risks, they are in a state of anxiety and cruel fate, and they are forced to prostrate on the ground and wait for death in aimless prayers. This is what believers in the Grace House do. They close their eyes, Thinking they did what they could in their prayers, but in reality, they didn't, they didn't do anything."
"Are you going to be the savior?" Veronica asked jokingly.
"I don't intend to save anyone, but when I make a choice, I have a responsibility. I will try my best to do it, and I won't leave until I see the result." This is the best Cloris can say. With confidence, "I believe that the choices I make will ultimately come to fruition, no matter what it is."
Having said that, Cloris still has to rely on the Church of the Sun to keep the Gospel Correctional Institute alive. The initiative of fate is not in her hands. However, if she is a small cog like Walsh Calle, the girl is still sure prevent some disasters.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"..." Cloris thought for a while, then sighed, "The Church of the Sun, please strengthen the control over the commercial port. The food reserves are barely able to survive the wind season. Distribute medicinal powder to conceal anger, and let the residents seal the doors and windows. To prevent the possible invasion of living corpses..."
267. Operation Taifei
Having stayed in the Lien Manor in the northern suburbs for more than a month, Carrie and Tai Fei have fully adapted to the environment here. Being away from the city does not make life inconvenient. Saying goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood, the two sleep soundly every night Extra sweet.
The manor is close to the Pingfeng Mountains, and the forest is like a sweater with dense needlework, wrapped in layers. Even if there is no high wall to block the cold wind, the impact of the wind season on this place is minimal.
The building is divided into two floors.
The three-story ring-shaped small building on the outside is called the coffin by Tai Fei. The maids' bedrooms are located in the southwest and southeast corners of the third floor. Including the cook, there are only eight people in the huge house, so even the servants can't wait. Being able to be allocated a large separate room is infinitely better than some families in Nancheng who are still squeezed into small dwellings of a few square meters.
As for the "coffin" in the middle, it is connected with the coffin by a corridor. Arcas Lean lives on the fourth floor of the "coffin". The library and other places, because Arcas Lean was "exiled" by Luentia, no one wanted to get in touch with him, and Arcas Lean was paralyzed, so these places were never used again.
After Tai Fei got up at five o'clock every day, she would gather in the hall on the second floor of the "coffin", receive instructions from the head maid, and arrange a whole day's work.The maids will take turns to take care of Arcas Lean's daily life and watch the night. If they are not turned, Tai Fei's morning time will usually be used to do repetitive and boring cleaning work, but the head maid will patrol the dense forest in the morning, so The supervision in this area is not strict, and maids can spend a lot of time fishing.
At such times, Taffy would usually ask the cook for a plate of dessert and a glass of juice, and hide with Carrie in the utility room to chat.At this time, other maids would quietly join in, pretending to work when the head maid was about to return.Before Tai Fei arrived, the lives of the maids were depressing and dull, living in a dark and ominous environment for a long time, anyone would feel in a trance, and they had little friendship with each other, and they were not companions.
As a high-quality human maid, Tai Fei has received three years of basic education. She is enthusiastic, cheerful, and carefree. Ever since she transmitted her fishing attributes to other maids, under her influence, the girls quickly became one with each other.
Coupled with her and Carrie's ability to read and write, they often found some not-so-high-end interesting publications from the library 30 or [-] years ago. In addition to human geography, there were even yellow waste that made people blush.
