Chapter 107: Night of swords

Fireworks are in full bloom in the sky, and the residents and tourists in

Hopland are still immersed in the festive atmosphere, but the dark tide is

beginning to surge in the remote corners of the city.

People in a hurry kept walking through the streets. They knocked on the closed

shops and doors, and opened the dusty warehouses.

A middle-aged man who just fell asleep opened the door sleepily, and those who

wondered who was knocking on the door so late.

A dusty figure stood at the door, wearing a short robe, his face looked unreal

in the dark night.

"Is it Emerson?" the hurried guest asked briefly.

"Yes." The middle-aged man was a little confused, who would come to see me so

late.

After hearing the affirmative answer, the man in the short robe raised the

parchment roll in his hand and said.

"The Tisifones helped you in the past, now is the time to fulfill the

promise."

Under the reflection of the brass lantern, the convening document is clearly

written in black on the sheepskin scroll, and the signature is the owner and

heir of the Tisiphone family.

At the same time, the bottom of the sheepskin roll is also covered with three

bright red seals, which are the dagger pierced the skull, the seven-color

gemstone flowers, and the tilted wine bottle. Nemei and Nissos joint

statement.

Looking at the shocking red inkpad, the middle-aged man suddenly woke up, no

sleep, he asked in shock.

"Is it now?"

"Yes, bring your weapon, put on your armor, lock the door, draw three crossed

swords on the door, and then go to the Tissifone Chamber of Commerce

immediately."

"If you don't have weapons and armors, the Chamber of Commerce will also

prepare them, but they don't necessarily work together."

"okay, I get it."

The middle-aged man nodded solemnly, and the messenger who informed him did

not stay after seeing that he had achieved the goal, and immediately went to

the next house.

The middle-aged man rushed back to the bedroom and quickly opened the bed

board, revealing the low and long wooden box locked underneath.

opened the lock, there was a big sword wrapped in oil paper and a set of chain

mail. He immediately began to take off the unsuitable coat on his body and

began to wear it.

"Dad, did something happen, your voice is loud?" A young girl's voice came

from the next room.

The middle-aged man hesitated, then continued to wear the chain mail, and said

with a warning: "When Dad is going out, I will lock the door. Remember, no

matter what happens outside tonight, don’t open the door. ."

"What's wrong? Dad..."

A little girl in a light-colored nightdress opened the door and saw her father

wearing chain armor and holding a cold two-handed sword in her hand, her eyes

widened in surprise.

"No time to explain to you, baby, don't worry about Dad, Dad will be back in a

few days. There is still food in the cellar, don't starve yourself, and don't

open the door, no matter who it is, no matter what you hear. Such a voice,

understand?"

"I understand." The little girl looked at her father obediently and nodded.

"Okay, okay, my good Shanna."

The middle-aged man looked at his sensible daughter, hugged her with a rough,

calloused palm, and then touched her head affectionately.

After , he took out a white chalk and drew three crossed swords on the door,

and asked his daughter to lock the door, and finally rushed into the night

without looking back.

Scenes like this happened everywhere in Hopland. Horse-drawn carriages with

the logo of the three major chambers of commerce rushed through the streets.

The horrified street vendors and tourists had to evade urgently.

Hoplander’s top five chambers of commerce, except for the newly promoted

Calites in the past ten years, are entrenched. I don’t know how many

connections and relationships have accumulated in the past 100 years. Angus

was smashed back then. It is also expected that even if there is no Mrs. Mela,

there will be Mrs. Shera, Mrs. Mela and so on. If it weren't for Angus's early

match, then the newly promoted Calites might not be able to fight. Go to the

Hollis house.

The power of several major chambers of commerce in the city is intertwined,

and some outsiders are even among you and me. As soon as the three companies

move here, the Hollis family also immediately received the news.

"Miss, now the other three companies in Hopland have suddenly begun to gather

people, and even the informant said that they have prepared weapons and are

ready to go to war at any time."

Under the dim candlelight, Mei Lu had just walked out of the bedroom in her

pajamas. There were several reporters standing outside the door, and the

family guards were next to her, waiting for orders.

Although I don’t know the specific purpose of the other three, it’s certain

that they must deal with the Calites and the Helliss, because Hopland has no

one except the two big chambers of commerce. The qualifications are so

exciting.

Mei Lu was serious, and after hearing the news, she commanded without any

hesitation.

"I immediately sent a messenger to inform Calites to let them know the

seriousness of the situation, and to ring the big bell to call everyone in the

chamber of commerce. In addition, the city has old, good, and often

cooperating friends with us. These people immediately sent familiar people to

notify them one by one, so that they would immediately be transferred to the

headquarters of our Chamber of Commerce. The reason is that there will be

civil strife in Hopland tonight, and the Hollis family will protect them."

"Every family tells it twice. If you still don't listen, just leave it alone

and switch to the next one."

"Yes, Miss." Several obedient high-level stewards next to them immediately

took action.

"In addition, send someone to open the underground warehouse of the Chamber of

Commerce, move out all the weapons and armors, and distribute weapons to

everyone, and then you better-disciplined guards will each bring a team of

ordinary personnel. Every experienced guard is the captain, immediately

Organize all the people in the chamber of commerce."

"Your will, Miss." The captains of the guards also hurried out.

After that, Mei Lu looked at the only guard captain left~www.mtlnovel.com~ The

existence of Sequence 4 is the son of her mother's brother, which is her

cousin.

"Brother Gerd, please organize a man to guard the gate tonight, please."

"Don't worry, Mei Lu, I will protect you." The guard in dark golden armor

looked at his sister with concern and promised, then walked out quickly,

leaving a broad back.

Mei Lu stood under the window sill in the corridor and watched a rapid bell

ringing in the courtyard, and then scattered lights came on. There were people

running and walking everywhere, the sound of armor rubbing, footsteps, shouts,

and objects. The sound of moving and racing sounded, making it extremely noisy

at night.

"Miss, why are you still wearing thin pajamas, that's not good."

The head maid walked up the stairs, looked at Mei Lu who was still standing by

the corridor window, and called out loudly.

"I remember that the master had collected a few extraordinary soft armors

before, and I immediately found them for you. You are now the owner of the

Patriarch. If there is an accident, the Helliss house will really be over."

"It's okay, Aunt Lige, I believe everyone."

"In addition, if even I face each other with swords, then the Hollis family

will actually be dead." Meilu turned her head, and the figure under the silver

moonlight looked a little silent.

"No, you have to wear it. You are still as disobedient as you were when you

were a child. Master dare not care about you now, but I dare, I raised you

with one hand."

The head maid forced Mei Lu back to the bedroom, still talking.

"I take more time to take care of you than to take care of my own children. If

something happens to you, how can I stand it."

Mei Lu was pulled, although she did not admit it, there was a faint tear in

her eyes.
