People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

On the streets of Turin.

The crowds are getting denser.

The carriages drove among the crowd like fish swimming upstream, and every step was a difficult trek.

It seems that the workers who are still working in the factory have taken half a day off in advance, taking their children and family members, holding on to their meager wages, and stopping in front of the food stalls or shops selling accessories. .

There were also tenant farmers and yeoman farmers from far outside the city. They might have set out from home in the morning and arrived in Turin at noon.

Lothar and Lavinia walked side by side in the street.

Today she wore a white cashmere shawl with a patterned black skirt underneath. Her whole look was quite noble and elegant, and even Lothar felt her eyes light up.

Lothar reminded: "You can look around, but don't be too purposeful, it's too obvious."

"Then what should I do?"

"follow me."

Miss Judge obviously has no experience in front-line investigations, and does not know how the Bologna family trained her when she was a child. Such a strong fighting talent cannot really be cultivated as a civilian, right?

After a moment, Lavinia, holding up roasted nuts wrapped in paper, looked at Lothar in confusion.

"Eat, it's best to eat while walking."

"Isn't this a bit rude?"

"Today is the Feast of the Entrance of Our Lady. Our Lady hopes that everyone can relax. You must follow Our Lady's teachings."

"The Holy Mother said this?"

"I don't know, but this is what the Holy Mother in my heart should say - I will give you a holiday today, you can eat whatever you want, play whatever you want, instead of today you should fast, bathe, repent, and chant scriptures ."

Lavinia's eyebrows stretched and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Listening to your description, the Holy Mother seems to have become much more amiable."

She crushed a nut and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it, and her mouth was filled with delicious flavor.

"It seems your letter worked."

Members of the Saluzzo family can often be seen on the street. They are more or less disguised, but their unique blood aura cannot be hidden from Lothar and Lavinia.

"I'd rather believe it."

Lothar shrugged: "If something happens, Ramdo can't afford the consequences."

The power of the Saluzzo family is concentrated in the North Apennines. In recent years, some small families, relying on the support of the Axis family, have taken over a lot of shares openly and covertly, and Bologna is one of them.

If even Turin, which is adjacent to Saluzzo, is occupied by the Yaksi family, even if the family does not deal with Ramdo, Ramdo himself will have no shame in living anymore.

In comparison, the Bologna family does not have such big concerns.

"There are more and more people. Do these people want to go to the circus show?"

"It's all for the performance of dragon riding and killing giants. After all, both dragons and giants are legendary species, and they are the ones that appear most often in story novels - if it were a werewolf hand-to-hand fight, they might not be able to do it. I’m interested.”

"Will there really be a dragon knight?"

Lavinia frowned suspiciously.

Dragon knights have always been a rare profession. Firstly, dragon creatures are often violent and unruly, and will not beg for food. Secondly, it is often difficult to use the combat power of the knight on the dragon's back when riding a dragon. If they are superimposed, the result will be one plus one less than two.

But precisely because of their rarity, dragon knights are all famous in history - such as the famous conqueror of the Ottoman Empire, the Eastern monarch who captured Constantinople.

"I think it's enough."

Lothar shook his head: "In recent years, the most famous dragon knight is the grand leader of the Teutonic Knights. He rides a land dragon. It is hard to believe that the same character can appear in this circus."

He thought for a while and added: "But since they dare to promote it like this, at least there will be a fake dragon knight appearing, otherwise the angry audience will definitely make them regret it."

The lowest ticket price of thirty lire has already covered the expenses of many Turin families for several days. This is not a small amount of money.

When we arrived at the place to buy tickets, there were already long queues at the three ticket windows.

Almost half of the people in Poseidon Square were gathered in this corner.

There were so many people, and the line could not end as far as the eye could see.

"so many people!"

Lothar couldn't help but be speechless. Lavinia broke open a nut and looked around with some curiosity: "Just wait in line slowly. If you are tired, you can go and sit over there for a while. I will buy two tickets later."

Lothar smiled bitterly and said, "I thought it was me who should say this."

Lavinia asked in surprise: "Why?"

"There's no way to explain this. Forget it, let's wait together."

"Well"

Lavinia responded and said thoughtfully: "Maybe, maybe, we probably don't have to wait any longer."

"why?"

"I saw an acquaintance."

"Stand here and don't move."

Lavinia warned and walked into the crowd.

After a moment, she held up the two bills in her hand, but there was no trace of pride on her face. Instead, she said to Lothar with some embarrassment: "I got the tickets, but can you give me a one hundred lira note?" ?”

"okay."

Lothar obediently paid, feeling quite embarrassed.

The total coins in his pocket were only two hundred lire left. The centurion's allowance for the new month was not yet known when it would be paid out.

She put the note into Lothar's hand, whispered her thanks, held the note in her hand, and returned to the crowd.

After a moment, her short light brown hair reappeared in Lothar's field of vision.

She explained: "I met a junior student, and I told him that there would be a high probability of an accident happening at the circus performance tonight, so he transferred the original price of the ticket to me."

"It's quite worth it. These two tickets are in good positions and are ranked near the front."

Lanivia paused and said, "Then what should we do next? Just wait?"

"You can buy some more snacks to eat."

"I'm not that greedy. Don't you have nothing to eat or places to visit?"

"When I came to Turin yesterday, I already visited it."

Lothar stood in front of Lavinia, and the two of them squeezed out of the queue. On the way, they also met a group of people who were cursing each other and fighting. There were always people who did not follow the rules and wanted to jump in the queue. .

If it weren't for the Saluzzo family and the city patrol to maintain order, the current situation might have gotten out of control.

"Losa, you bought me some nuts. I should have bought you a cup of coffee or a glass of wine as a thank you."

Lavinia seemed to hesitate for a long time before she mustered up the courage to speak.

"But I don't have any money anymore."

"Although I still have a hundred lira notes left, that's my meal expenses for this month. I'm sorry, I'm rude."

Lothar couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't have to be so polite. Friends will understand each other's difficulties - but I am very confused, is the salary in your workplace so low?"

Lavinia said with some distress: "Speaking of this, it is also related to your proposal last night. I am going to spend most of my salary to rent a mansion in the suburbs to provide for homeless people. Let’s spend the winter.”

"How can your salary alone be enough?"

Lavinia said seriously: "I have calculated that my salary can rent a mansion for three hundred homeless people, which is already a lot."

Her tone was slightly anxious: "I know that no matter how hard I try, the number of people I can help is limited, but this is my best effort. I think this is enough. I am not a savior."

"You don't have to be so anxious to defend yourself."

Lothar carefully studied the subtle changes on Lavinia's face and couldn't help laughing: "The more eager you are to defend, the more it shows that although you know the truth, you still feel guilty for not being able to help so many people. ——If that’s the case, why don’t you consider my proposal last night?”

In fact, in Lothar's view, Lavinia's ability to do this is already beyond this era, and most people who claim to be good people.

"No way, I won't become a thief with you."

Lavinia said firmly.
