7 min read1,672 words
In Hopland, the Hollis family is located in the wealthy area on the west side.
This is the place where the nobles lived in the early years. After the
independence of the business alliance, it became a gathering place for the
rich of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Calites Chamber of Commerce is on the north side of the middle of the
city. Because it is a newcomer later, there is not much vacant land on the
west side, so Angus simply bought a large piece of land in the middle of the
north. As the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Nythos family is in the east. Although this is not a wealthy area, it has
a different meaning to the family, because the ancestor of the Nythos family
was a fruit vendor, and he bought it here when he settled in Hopeland. The
first residence was settled, but later even if the Nissos family developed,
they did not move out.
The current situation in the city is distributed as the three houses on the
west side, Aniemi, Hellis, and Tissifone, the Calites in the middle, and the
Nissos on the east.
The gates and walls in the west, north, and east directions have been closed
by the three houses of Aniemi, Tsifune, and Nyssos, while Hellis and Kalites
are trapped in the city. The home is relatively close to the other two, and
the situation is particularly critical.
The spacious and clean streets in the past have completely changed their
appearance. The cyan slate and bricks are littered with debris. Wooden boxes
and fences have been erected and placed in the middle of the street, blocking
the commuting space. Both sides of the street are standing. Facing the crowd,
they faced each other with torches, armor, and weapons.
The face under the fire is so familiar. They are all employees of the Chamber
of Commerce. They are close to each other. They often meet each other. Maybe
they drank, chatted, and talked together in the tavern two days ago. Cattle.
If it wasn't for this sudden accident, no one would have thought that they
would be facing each other tonight. The complex feelings of this, I am afraid
only they themselves know.
The treatment of large chambers of commerce is much higher than that of other
small chambers of commerce. In addition, they also have many benefits and are
relatively stable. Therefore, over time, they basically work for them for
generations. For example, grandfathers let their sons go after retirement, and
sons let grandchildren go when they are old. Hereditary.
Like the gardeners of the Anemi family, the three generations of their
ancestors worked as gardeners for the Anemi family. Their ancestors have dealt
with other members of the Chamber of Commerce since they were young, and their
grandparents worked in the Chamber of Commerce and were very familiar with
each other.
In this era, the accumulation and inheritance of experience is very important.
Passing on from father to son, passing on from sons to grandchildren, a craft
is definitely better than those who transfer halfway through, so these old
employees and backbones are also the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce. The
trusted confidant of the past dynasties paternalists
The Chamber of Commerce is no longer limited to a profit-making organization.
It is also an interest group. This is why these employees are so loyal. Even
if they take up a knife and fight, they will not reject it, because their own
interests are closely related to the Chamber of Commerce. of.
Breaking people's wealth is like killing a parent. What's more, this kind of
direct smashing of the bowl and breaking the family.
But after all, the people facing each other know each other. Under the inertia
of the past, you said that suddenly letting them fight for life and death is
still somewhat difficult.
The brazier set up by the wooden pole was burning very hot, and the sound of
sparks bursting from time to time, the two parties questioned and yelled at
each other.
Quite a few people from Tisifone’s family went to the gate and the city wall
on the north side, so most of the people who confronted the Hellis family on
the west side were people from the Anemie family. In fact, the employees at
the bottom were also a little confused. The opponent started fighting.
Helis family can also be said to protect themselves, while Anemii is quite
confused.
At this time, several messengers rode through the crowd and walked to the
confronting street. These messengers each had three small seals, which were
composed of three companies. They held clerical notices in their hands, and
then they read out loudly. :
[Dwellers of Hopelander, instructions from the General Guild of the Verga
Business Alliance came. The Hollis family and the Calites Chamber of Commerce
colluded in the West Wind to rebel, with the intention of rebelling.
Now grants the Tissifone Chamber of Commerce, the Aniemi Chamber of Commerce,
and the Nythos Chamber of Commerce the right to special operations, and
assists the Hopeland branch in arresting the traitors from the Hellis family
and the Calites family.
But most of the employees of the two chambers of commerce do not know it, and
hereby declare that if you put down your weapons, you can forgive sins,
protect your family members, and not investigate the past.
If you still persist in persevering and continue to resist, you will be killed
without mercy! ]
The loud voice spread very far in the middle of the night, and it was quiet
all around. After the reading was finished, the small discussion slowly
recovered.
"Let's tell, they really have a problem, otherwise Master Noyce suddenly
called us up." An Anemi's guard said.
"I really don't know what the Hellis family thinks. They actually hooked up
with the rebels in the north. Have you forgotten that even now, Wilga is still
a Westerly vassal in name?"
"Who knows, I just want to go home and sleep soon, it's too cold this night."
"Hey, I don't know if the Chamber of Commerce will pay more if I stand with
the gun overnight. My wife gave birth to another one."
"You are also fierce enough, this is the third one."
"Of course, I'm super fierce."
After listening, the people of the Anemi family felt relieved, and even
started chatting. In their opinion, the Alliance General Guild had ordered it,
and there were three joint actions. The righteous name was suppressed, and the
opposite surrendered sooner or later. It's up.
And the people in the Hellis family across the street also began to shake as
expected. After all, treason is too heavy for ordinary people to bear. Even
the gaze looking at the opposite side is not as bold and fearless as before.
Some people from the Anemi family also began to persuade them to surrender.
"George, don't stand there stupidly, come here, then I will talk to the
steward about your situation and make sure you are fine. You still owe me
money. If this is all gone, I will find someone to collect the debt."
"Yeah, George, come here soon. You don't want to think about your mother and
sister. You still rely on you to support your family. If you are gone, what
will they do? I still want to be your brother-in-law."
A young man with a bow in the Hollis family stood under the brazier. He
hesitated. The person next to him looked at it and wanted to say something,
but after thinking about it, he sighed and said nothing~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now,
what qualifications do you have to persuade the people next to you, aren't
they also hesitating?
If the Hollis family is really over, what should they do in the future? Who is
not worried about it? Who doesn't want to live.
George turned his back, leaning against the big wooden box, his emotions
tumbling. His grandfather was an old employee of the Hollis family. His father
went out fooling around when he was young and didn’t work in the Chamber of
Commerce. Later he married and had children. He didn’t stop until he died on
the street a few years ago because of drunkenness and fights with others. .
And last year, before his grandfather retired, he asked the butler to let
himself take over his position. He worked in the Chamber of Commerce. The
housekeeper agreed to his old feelings. As a result, he lived a better life
than his peers. This made him very happy. Gratitude and pride.
After entering the Chamber of Commerce, the butler took good care of him. He
was fortunate enough to meet Miss Mei Lu once. Miss Mei also praised him for
his good bows and arrows, which made him excited for a long time. But now he
said he was going to be a traitor and leave Hellis's house. He really couldn't
get past that hurdle in his heart.
Just as he closed his eyes and hesitated, a rush of horseshoes sounded from
the other side of the street, also a small team of horse-riding messengers.
They had micro-stamps of lacquer night flowers and camellia on their chests.
They held up the papers in their hands with black pens on them. The
declaration is clearly written, and there is a bright red seal underneath.
[The citizens of the Verga Alliance, now it’s critical to survive, Tissifone,
Anemey, and Nissos, the three chambers of commerce colluded with the green
empire, intending to use Hoplander as a springboard to lead the empire’s army
to land and invade and destroy it. Xuehua Seven Kingdoms.
In order to break this evil and crazy conspiracy, please help the citizens of
the seven countries in the city to help us Hellis and Calites, to eliminate
the evil spirits, and to defeat these rebellious evil people who closed the
city.
Follow the ancient covenant between the seven nations, long live Xuehua
United! ]
