342 Jerry the Mouse
Smelling the smell of burnt meat in the air, and then looking at his dozens of wailing subordinates lying on the ground, Bush Sr. got up from his chair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although the situation in front of him was obviously unfavorable to him, he was not much surprised, even afraid: "A powerful noble lord, well, you have won, what do you want me to do?" ā
"Help me find out what's strange in Caronte City lately, such as dried corpses, strange noises, and women who have disappeared for no apparent reason." Beta threw out a cloth bag containing a few gold coins and a lot of silver: "This is your reward for doing something for me." ā
"Even if you are a powerful and generous noble lord, I have no reason to refuse." Bush Sr. smiled slightly on his deadwood face, but there always seemed to be a strange irony in it: "I will ask my men to turn the whole city of Caronte over, and they will definitely find the clue you want." ā
"I'm sorry for you." Beta routinely said a polite word, as if the atmosphere between the two sides was extremely friendly, and the big men lying on the ground were not his handiwork.
When things are done, it is natural to leave.
Bush Sr. watched Beta leave, then continued to look up at the sky...... The big men who were lying on the ground, after wailing for a while, stood up one after another, although their qi and blood were not very good, but their bodies were all lightly injured, and there were no seriously injured people.
"The noble lord has left his hand." The sneer on Bush Sr.'s face became more and more obvious: "See, this is the gap between professionals and non-professionals...... You little things, think that you are too numerous to occupy a few dirty water streets, and you are powerful? Other professionals, just one of you beats a dozen of you, and you don't have any knowledge at all, so you dare to provoke me to attack the City Lord's Mansion? ā
The cold ridicule made these big men all depressed.
Bush Sr. smiled: "The money has been thrown down by others, you can't do this or not, it's up to you, anyway, I don't have a few days to live, you are still young, you should also understand that there is a great future in the future, even if there is no future, at least there is life to enjoy, but other people's money is put down, you don't work, hehe, you can all figure it out." ā
"I'm just not convinced, why are those aristocratic lords born to be above all over, why are we, the poor, born to give others **** shares."
"That's someone else's ancestor." Bush Sr. laughed strangely: "After how many generations of hard work, their descendants can now become nobles and enjoy, and your ancestors are all stupid, stupid, and not enterprising, so naturally you are suffering...... If you want to blame, blame your ancestors for not being angry. Of course, if you are still like this, your descendants will blame you for not being angry. ā
The class solidification in this world is relatively serious, but it has not yet reached the point of being completely unmotivated. Ordinary people can also send their sons to knights to be knights as knight apprentices, magic apprentices, or to be merchant apprentices and so on to learn things, if you work hard enough, and you are not too stupid, you will naturally be favored by the nobles and trained more, after all, nobles also need loyal subordinates.
As long as this goes through several generations and slowly accumulates, you can survive the aristocracy, and the next thing is to see how the detainees work hard to get more resources and become more powerful.
And in this world, every one or two hundred years, there will always be a big scuffle, and at that time there will be a class reshuffle, which is when the commoners are most likely to get ahead.
Of course, it is also the most miserable time for the common people.
It is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world...... This sentence is a bloody lesson for thousands of years.
Ten big men sighed and helped each other to leave. The old Bush's cabin suddenly returned to tranquility, he sat in a rocking chair, and after a while, a young man walked in outside, about sixteen or seventeen years old, born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and at first glance he was a handsome boy, but his face was a little more indifferent as if he had seen through the world, which more or less destroyed some of his temperament.
"Father-in-law, are you looking for me?"
"Hmm." Bush Sr. nodded, looked the young man up and down, and then sighed: "Your strength is stronger, but you are wasted, do you know?" ā
"I know, but opportunities are created for those who are prepared, as long as I slowly become stronger, one day, I will get a chance to become a professional, and when the time comes, ......" At this point, the young man's face showed a little murderous intent.
Bush Sr. sighed and said slowly: "I know that you have a heavy heart for revenge, but there are some things that ordinary people can handle...... But you're right, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Not long ago, a noble lord came to the door and asked us to investigate the recent incident about the dried corpse and the missing woman, I think this matter may be related to your sister's disappearance, you can try to get involved. Tell him what you find. ā
The young man was surprised for a moment, and then there was an expression of ecstasy on his face: "Really? ā
"Jerry the Mouse, you are my adopted son, when did I lie to you." The elder Bush said a little lonely: "Originally, my position should have been inherited by you, but you don't like it." ā
Jerry shook his head and said, "I just want to find my sister now, and I don't think about anything else." ā
The elder Bush was very disappointed, and he really felt that this righteous son was very suitable to inherit his mantle: "If you find a sister, think about me again."
"Thank you, father-in-law, I'll think about it."
The young man, Jerry, known as the rat of Dirty Water Street, left without a grudge.
Bush Sr. sighed for a long time, he knew very well that Jerry's heart was very high, and he was definitely not willing to be the leader of a **** force, if it weren't for Bush Sr. who had given Jerry a lot of help, this young man would not even join his forces.
"The power of Dirty Water Street must be controlled by a person with a bottom line, otherwise the new owner who is too greedy will break the current balance of Dirty Water Street, if Jerry is unwilling to do it, then there will be no suitable candidate." Bush Sr.'s face was full of pain: "And I'm too old, and I don't know if I can make it to the next suitable candidate." ā
"Then leave Jerry behind."
In the shadow of Bush Sr., this sentence suddenly appeared.
"Can't keep it." Bush Sr. shook his head: "You can't force him to stay, that kid is very assertive, and it would be counterproductive to force him to stay." ā
"Then keep him with affection."
Bush Sr. shook his head: "Although it is true that you can keep him with feelings, I don't want to, that would be too inferior." ā
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how do you choose a suitable heir."
Bush Sr. was silent for a while, and then said: "If there is really no suitable candidate, then forget it, I die, no matter what will become of its dirty water street." Before I didn't have Caronte, the people of Dirty Water Street didn't live the same life......"
"Just look at it."
The voice in the shadows faded into silence, and the elder Bush closed his eyes again.
Beta, on the other hand, is also inquiring about what is strange about the city of Caronte. Vampires are a powerful race, but they have an unusual way of behaving in people, so as long as they are in the city, they will always find some clues.
It's not that Beta doesn't worry about those gangsters, but that one more person means more power.
The vampire also seems to know that Beta is looking for him and hides it well. However, three days later, Beta still received useful news that a beggar had found the body of a woman in the river.
The corpse was pale, as if the blood had been sucked dry, and it was crumpled.
Beta came to the scene alone, but she wasn't alone, Shirley, Emma, and Jessica were all in the mansion and could come out at any time.
The dead woman was not very old, and it could be seen from her appearance and physique that she was a young girl. Beta crouched down and took a closer look at the deceased's body, revealing that the girl had indeed been drained of blood and had two tooth holes near her throat...... Judging by this information, the suspicion of vampires hiding in this city is growing.
Flicking a silver coin into the hand of the beggar who provided the message, he was about to leave when he noticed a young man by the river not far away.
The young man walked over slowly, looked at Beta, and then asked, "You are the noble lord who inquired about the strange things about this city of Caronte." ā
The one in front of him was an ordinary person, and Beta also looked at the other party for a moment, then nodded.
"What you investigated seems to have a lot to do with what I investigated." The young man looked around: "But this is not a place to talk, can you come with me?" ā
Normally, ordinary people don't follow strangers casually, but Beta is bold, and he really wants to know more information. After all, it's not a pleasant thing to be watched in the shadows by an enemy who seems to be a vampire.
Ten minutes later, the two came to a small house.
The house, although basic, is fairly clean.
"I'm not going to invite you to sit either." The young man said slowly, "I've been investigating something in Karonte City for three months. I have a lot of information, and I might be able to help you. ā
Beta looked at each other and asked, "What price do I have to pay, money?" ā
"I don't need money, but I have one condition." The young man inhaled slightly and said, "When you find the real culprit behind the scenes, you hope to bring me." I have something I want to confirm. ā
"But you are an ordinary person, if you get involved in this matter, you may be more than lucky."
The person Beta has to deal with is very likely to be a vampire, and ordinary people have absolutely no hope of surviving when they encounter this creature.
The young man's face was as cold as ice: "It doesn't matter, I have already put life and death aside, and what I want to know most now is another matter." When you can catch the person behind it, or I can know how it turned out. (To be continued.) )
