Poverty Alleviation Princess

Speaking of this matter, Ah Yuan would also like to thank many people in this era for having the habit of keeping diaries, so detectives still have people like her who can learn all kinds of things from diaries after the client is gone. Information.

During the few days in the manor where Musashi lived alone, although there were some innocuous accidents such as the roof falling off and the floor collapsing (Musashi's own language), it was precisely because of these small accidents that she was able to find this diary.

A diary hidden in the roof mezzanine.

The owner of the diary is the last owner of this house, that is, the professor whose wife is ill and is preparing to recuperate.

It's just that the real purpose mentioned in the diary is not to recuperate, but to take away a relic from the previous owner, Earl Cook.

"According to the records in the diary, both he and Earl Cook are members of an organization called Dylan, and this organization seems to be some kind of religious organization, studying various...mysteries that don't look like formal rituals s things."

A Yuan tried hard to recall the contents of the diary.

"Then Earl Cook seemed to have obtained something very important to the organization, but instead of handing it over to the organization, he absconded with it. In the end, the organization chased and killed Earl Cook, but the item However, he was not found, nor was he found in other mansions, nor his wife, lover, or heirs, and in the end, the only thing that has not been investigated is this manor."

"So he, who was assigned this task, bought this manor as a professor, and then came to find this thing - some of the previous rumors were also released by him, the purpose is not to let people approach here. And he himself put I searched all over here. The reason why the house we saw when we came here was dilapidated from the inside to the outside was also because he demolished part of it to find the secret passage in the house."

"Then?" As a local, Giotto naturally wanted to know how the story would end.

"Then not only was he useless to find the secret path, but he accidentally fell and injured himself, but he also got some news because of it."

"what news?"

"I don't know." A Yuan replied bluntly.

"……what?"

The blond youth froze for two seconds.

Where there is such a thing, there is no more after half of the talk.

"I just don't know, he didn't write anything until he wrote it here." A Yuan nodded his shoulder, "If this diary is true, then maybe something happened later that he also disappeared."

The missing person will naturally not come back to write a diary.

"So, have you heard about this organization?"

Giotto shook his head.

Although the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies had different power groups, large and small, there was no such religious power named Dylan.

"I've never heard of it, but there may be, but I haven't reached that level so I don't know."

Many nobles will have some... their own small gatherings or hobbies. If it is not one of them, they will not know about it.

This is what Spedo told him back then.

It's just that judging from the other party's disgusted expression, these things probably won't be a good hobby.

Giotto was very calm when he said it.I didn't feel inferior because of my origin.

He was indeed born of an ordinary person, completely different from those rich nobles who had been passed down for several or dozens of generations.I don't have the so-called background, and I don't understand their so-called elegant hobbies.

But he felt that there was nothing wrong with himself.Even if many people look down on him because of this, he doesn't care.As long as he can do what he wants to do and help more people, it will be fine.

Of course, if anyone really needs a little 'reminder', he can also help a little. (physical sense)

A Yuan could see that Giotto was not lying, so he could only let out a long sigh.

Well, there is one more thing to care about.

In addition to my strange incoherent dreams, the 'relatives' who don't know if they will come to find trouble are still stuck in the planned cement factory and the orchard waiting to be repaired, there is another strange organization that is suspected of being a cult.

In contrast, the fact that the cousin is restless and always wants to run around and has the physique of getting into trouble... is not a problem at all.

Maybe she should have been nicer to Cain?

Seeing that Arnold was fine, Giotto left the place where A Yuan rented and walked back.

Take your time and walk back step by step.

Although no matter how long it took, the journey would take more than ten minutes, but Giotto felt a sense of "relief" when he thought that he could face those business affairs a little later, even if it was only ten minutes later.

Don't look at him often running around to help repair houses and tidy up orchards, and even go on business trips to other countries when he loses things, but he is really the leader of one of the best forces nearby.Counting the allies, the local residents who have been sheltered, and the subordinates who really work for him, there are tens of thousands of people.

Judging from the results alone, he can be regarded as successful.

Perhaps it can also be called a 'successful person' by some.

Yet Giotto himself was not proud or happy about it.On the contrary, with the increase of the sphere of influence, all kinds of entertainment and various tasks that required him to make decisions made him feel inexplicably heavy.

Even... Occasionally he wavers.

Is everything now really the goal I wanted to achieve in the first place?

He felt better in the field or on the roof than in the desk.

"giotto!"

Just when he relaxed and enjoyed the rare leisure time, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

The blond young man trembled all over, and subconsciously said:

"I'm going back to work!"

I get it, I'm going back, I'm not lazy!

Unexpectedly, the red-haired young man didn't pay attention to what he said at all, and rushed over and grabbed his arm: "Brook and Friedman have formed an alliance, and they are about to fight over, come with me!"

"!???"

——Until the time he was asked to take refuge, A Yuan still hadn't realized what happened.

It's not that she was so stupid that she didn't even know when the fight started, it's just that it happened so suddenly.

Although the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies has always been in great chaos, it would be too sudden to talk about it.

"Actually, it's not unbelievable." The member of Vongole who was in charge of the escort whispered.

"Brook and Friedman have long wanted to occupy the hearts of this place."

"Although Brooke is from the Two Sicilies, he used to serve the Frenchman, and Friedman, he himself is a Frenchman." Disdain.

"They rely on the French to suck our blood. Naturally, they can't tolerate the existence of local resistance forces—especially our Vongole, a force that can be counted in the entire Two Sicilies, and we refuse to cooperate with them to oppress civilians."

In fact, what the boy said was only part of it.In addition to refusing to cooperate, Vongole also broke many 'hidden rules', which severely damaged many of their businesses.

It's fine if you refuse to cooperate, but you have to stand on the side of the humble civilians to prevent them from making money.

This is very unacceptable.

In addition to the port, the Two Sicilies are all kinds of plantation economy.

Among them, citrus, lemon, and olive oil are the most famous, and they are very popular commodities throughout Europe.Especially with the rise of new types of black tea in the empire, more and more people add fruits such as bergamot and citrus to black tea to taste, and the citrus industry in Sicily has become more popular.

Naturally, the local forces will not miss this opportunity.

They control many orchards, and even the owners of the orchards must cooperate with them, hire the workers they designate, and accept their 'protection'-for example, let their people watch the gate.

Then share the final proceeds.

People are theirs, and they naturally know the true yield and benefits of an orchard.

If the owner of the orchard chooses to fight against it-then the workers he hires will soon have an 'accident', and the orchard will inevitably suffer some accidental damage.

So the foreign rich who don't care choose to divest or sell their orchards - most of them have other profitable industries, and there is no need to get into unnecessary trouble for this foreign industry.While foreigners can leave, locals cannot.So more and more orchard owners choose to compromise.And some of them will choose to recover their own interests from squeezing employees.

Although a large part of these employees are appointed by various forces, most of them are just ordinary people who are tended to work by them.As long as they get enough parts in the end, they don't care how the orchard owner treats these workers.

The treatment of the workers can be imagined.

The appearance of Giotto broke this 'hidden rule'.

Not only did he not threaten or lure the orchard owners in his sphere of influence, but he even offered them a lot of preferential terms - even if it was an orchard like the one that A Yuan took over, where the owner didn't take care of it very much, he would not invade it.

The treatment given to the workers is also very fair.Sometimes it even helps workers to negotiate with hired capitalists.

In the eyes of these people who are separatist and squeezing money, he is undoubtedly a freak and an obstacle.

It is an existence that will be eliminated sooner or later.

"It was actually expected that there would be a fight."

Even though it was something that might be fatal, the boy's face was very calm when he mentioned it.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Cain asked unconsciously.

He has seen a lot of life and death, and he also understands that people like young people can easily become victims in such struggles.

"What are you afraid of? We have a leader." When Giotto was mentioned, the boy's face lit up, and he replied without thinking: "With a leader, we won't lose!"

What about the leader losing?

Cain finally refrained from asking the question.

When this may determine life and death, it is meaningless to get to the bottom of this kind of issue.On the contrary, it may hit the boy's aura, shake him, and put him in danger.

But at the same time he was curious about Giotto and what he did.This is someone he has never seen before, and something he has never experienced or thought about.

He wanted to observe the man more.

Under the leadership of the young man, A Yuan dragged his family to the designated shelter.

In order to prevent any children from being missed, she specially counted one side after arriving.

“1、2、3……17、18……嗯，都在了。”

Seeing that Musashi had finished counting, she nodded in satisfaction.

Then everyone will come...

"...Wait, where's Arnold?"

I was with them before, so what about the big Arnold?
