People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Genoa port in the evening.

With a melodious whistle.

The huge cruise ship sailed away from the busy commercial port.

Looking at the cruise ship gradually leaving, Lavinia breathed a sigh of relief: "New World, Texas, Wolf Federation. Potter should be able to use his talents there, right?"

Lothar smiled and comforted: "Of course, I heard Jeanne say that although the Wolf Federation of Texas occupies a vast territory, its population is very small, let alone college students who understand the legal provisions. There are only a few people who write their names clearly. Maybe one day you will receive a letter from across the ocean, and Porter will tell you that he has become the founder of the Texas judicial system."

Lavinia gradually felt relieved and couldn't help laughing and said: "You are so good at talking, you must have good luck with women, right?"

"Just barely."

Lothar hesitated, turned around and signaled: "Let's go, stop blowing the wind here, the smell of soot is everywhere."

Although Genoa has lost its status as a world-class port with the decline of Mediterranean trade, it is still an important trade hub in the Mediterranean. Even though the local industry is underdeveloped, busy shipping, steam cruise ships and cargo ships standing with their chimneys are still The sea breeze in the port was filled with a strong sour smell.

The two came to a corner sheltered from the wind, leaned on the railing, and talked quietly.

"Lotha, since you have already decided to step into this quagmire with me, it's time for me to tell you the details of the matter."

"You said."

"My teacher was the Attorney General of Milan. Of course, he should be the predecessor now. He committed suicide at home the night before yesterday because the Sassari family forced him to kill Mr. Madeleine. Sent to jail.”

"Just because of this?"

"More than that. I have said before that Mr. Madeleine is a good man, young, upright, and often helps the poor. In his factory, the salary of every employee is much higher than that of his peers. If he If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be discovered using improved magic stone technology inside."

Lothar nodded understandingly.

To increase workers' wages will increase costs. In today's North Apennines, where market competition is extremely fierce and industrialization is still in its infancy, it is almost impossible. It will not be long before it is squeezed out by its peers.

"The teacher has been a coward for a long time. This time, he finally fought in his own way."

Lothar listened carefully.

He didn't know much about Lavinia's teacher, but to be honest, it was impossible to get a high-ranking official position of this level in the Apennine Peninsula without being conscientious unless he was from a family background.

As for suicide becoming a struggle, it is actually easy to understand.

He has become the white glove of the wolf clan. Even if he wants to retire at this time, it is impossible. The investors behind him will not give up until they earn enough profits.

And confronting the wolves head-on

Lothar felt that if Lavinia's teacher was a lonely old bachelor, he would probably do this.

"Aren't you wondering why the Sassari family would treat a promising inventor like this?"

"Correct."

In Lothar's view, Mr. Madeleine is both young and kind-hearted. The former means he has a bright future, and the latter means he has a weakness. Both ways, this is a weapon that can be controlled in his own hands and can make money. Hen with Eggs.

If there was such a talent in his territory, even if it was a black Nubian eunuch, Lothar would definitely not win over him at all costs, instead of taking some tough measures to force him to submit.

"The reason is very simple, because this magic stone improvement process was not invented by Madeleine, but originated from a precious phantom he kept in his hand."

Lothar suddenly understood, so this Mr. Madeleine was not a hen that could lay golden eggs at all, but a rooster with a golden egg hidden in his belly, but could not lay eggs at all. Therefore, the Sassari family Choosing to kill the goose and lay the eggs has become a matter of course.

"I understand, so what should we do now? Go to Milan and enter the prison to rescue Mr. Madeleine?"

"No, the Sassari family is not a third-rate small family. Although their power is far inferior to that of Saluzzo, they are still a behemoth not far from Bologna. If the two of us want to force our way in without the help of the family, There's no chance of robbing prisoners."

Lavinia shook her head, and then said: "The cause of this incident is actually a middle-level member of the Sassari family. Because all the workers were robbed by Madelan, he wanted to occupy Madelan's factory. It was Madelan who was arrested. After being imprisoned, when inspecting the machine, the magic stone powder was discovered by the Sassari family." She paused slightly and added: "And Mr. Madeleine has a very high prestige in Milan, even compared to the original Ur Bishop Ding is not far behind, so this incident has caused dissatisfaction among many people."

"I plan to try to use people's dissatisfaction and what I have learned to clear Mr. Madeleine's injustice in court."

Lothar was stunned for a while. He stared at Lavinia's face seriously for a long time before saying, "Are you serious?"

"It's naive, but I really want to see if justice is really dead in Apennines."

Lavinia felt a little confused. She once thought she could bring justice to people, but after leaving the campus, she found that she could actually do nothing and could not change anything.

"and many more."

"It doesn't seem impossible."

Lothar was silent for a moment and then said: "If there was no order and no justice, this high-heeled peninsula would have long been reduced to a ghost and ruins. Even the wolves, most of them are willing to abide by the rules. "

After all, as Valentina said, this rule is already very family-oriented.

"After the Sassari family lost Sardinia, they now have the support of the Axis family. Now they are getting more and more ugly. They are everywhere in the North Apennines. The incident in Turin this time has something to do with them. There is an inseparable relationship, and judging from the dissatisfaction of their families, our Saluzzo family is definitely not the only one."

Lavinia nodded: "It's not just the Bologna family."

This is of course a good thing for her, but it is difficult for her to be happy, because this time, the so-called battle between justice and evil is, in the final analysis, still a confrontation of interests. Even if she wins, nothing will change. .

"Losa, tell me, is there something wrong with the world, or is there something wrong with the content printed in the textbooks when we were in school?"

Lavinia's fingers grasped the railing very hard, and before she knew it, she had twisted the rusty iron railing into a twist.

"Nia, the problem is always there."

Lothar paused slightly and then said: "But if what is taught in the textbooks are all crooked ways, how to collude with family members, how to accept bribes, how to form an interest network, and ignore the law, instead of justice and kindness, That would be a big problem.”

"It should be said that it is precisely because what you learn is still the right way that the world can be considered saved. If what is taught in schools becomes the supremacy of the wolf tribe, the Apennine Peninsula is the promised land of our wolf tribe, and all humans are The cows, horses, pigs and sheep we raise make this world truly hopeless."

Lothar was a little emotional.

Lavinia's mentality at the moment was very similar to that of many students who had just stepped out of the ivory tower. On the one hand, she had lofty ideals, but on the other hand, she was faced with everything that was wrong.

The book teaches you to speak upright and abide by justice, but people who really want to do this often find it difficult to move forward in society.

"Losa, what do you think we should do to change everything?"

Lavinia wondered.

Lothar raised her hand, intending to pat her shoulder, but dropped it.

"Haven't we talked about this issue before? In my opinion, it is enough to do your duty. Wait until a hundred years from now, you and I can touch our conscience and say, 'This world is not because of me. It's enough that it will get worse with the coming of."

"Not everyone has the ability to change the world. Make peace with yourself. Nia, if you can be honest with your heart, you will be worthy of everyone."

The two fell into a long silence.

Who doesn’t understand the truth?

It's very difficult to convince someone with such a light word.

Lothar suddenly said coldly: "Nia, if there is a place where you can show your talents and try to establish a fair and just legal system according to your own ideas, would you be willing to go?"
