Comprehensive Victoria's Secret

Chapter 31 The so-called cooperation

Antonio and Jacob clearly did not agree so easily.The two argued for a long time.

Elizabeth walked over, and before the two of them found out, she yelled in their ears: "STOP!"

The two men fell silent.

Elizabeth was very satisfied.

"By the way, Mr. Frye. I'm not a Templar, I'm just a girl from the Earl's family. To put it simply, it's just a noble lady who wants your help to find her father."

"It's easy to say, Miss Morgan, your father is the backbone of the Templars. When you were born, even Princess Victoria went to your baptism and became your godmother, not to mention your godfather, who is that one Crawford Starry, Grand Master of the Templars."

Elizabeth suddenly noticed that the boy who followed her to Jacob, probably named Jack, had a wolf-like light in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Elizabeth took a step back: "I'm not a Templar, however."

Jacob said: "Even if she is not a Templar, but how can you ensure that she will not harm the organization? You must know that whether it is her father or her other friends, they may be Templars." Man, how do you want me to believe her!"

"Shall I give you an example of three generations of the Kenway family?" said Elizabeth.

Antonio wiped his sweat: "But it's not that you haven't seen your father since you were a child, and you weren't raised by the Assassins..."

Elizabeth said: "Arno Dorian." She looked at Jacob, not admitting defeat: "In fact, I know many things about the Assassins, from Altaïr to Ezio Auditore, and the Kenway family and Arno Dorian in France and Shay Cormac in defection. I know that, Sir Jacob Frye, you must not, we've met before."

"Really?" Jacob raised an eyebrow.

"Alhambra Hall, when I was 12 years old." Elizabeth said.

Jacob Frye's face turned livid all of a sudden: "Okay, okay, it's really unnecessary, miss." He threw a throwing knife, and Elizabeth had no time to hide.

The flying knife was bounced off by a bullet in the air, and Antonio put down the gun in his hand: "Jacob, I think you need to listen carefully to other people's opinions sometimes."

"The so-called other people's opinions mean that you want to form an alliance with a little girl who has nothing to do with the Assassin Organization?" Jacob was not very traditional in thinking, but he had always had an extreme attitude towards the Templars.

"Relationships are built," Elizabeth said. "Actually, as I guess you know, the Knights Templar have elected a new Grand Master, and he obviously can't be my father. If my father is If he is on business for the Knights Templar, then he won't tell us the truth or disappear without a trace when we are going back to the country. Something must have happened, Mr. Fry, I need your help. Come on... his disappearance must have something to do with the Knights Templar, if he disappeared because he stood against the current head, then we have the same purpose, don't we?"

"What an interesting proposal." Jacob said nothing more.Elizabeth was about to lose her breath after speaking in one breath, Antonio patted her on the back, and Jacob continued: "It's still the same question, how can I trust you?"

"I trust her." Antonio said, "If you are worried about exposing the organization, it doesn't matter. Only I will meet with her. You only need to negotiate at my house."

"Deal." Jacob raised his eyebrows again: "I hope that one day I won't have to collect corpses for you."

So the group went to Antonio's house in the Whitechapel district.

The boy named Jack kept looking at Elizabeth with strange eyes, which scared her into the kitchen.To keep warm, but also to cook something for this group of men and boys.

In Britain in the nineteenth century, the so-called pudding was not a dessert, but a sausage-like meat dish.They bought mutton from the market today, and Elizabeth did not want to use the usual Victorian method-remove the bones, bundle them with ribbons, and cook them in a pot-it was dark cooking.

Elizabeth decided, at any rate, to make a pudding.

Eating pudding for lunch is actually quite heresy in the UK, but Elizabeth felt that these things should be processed quickly to make them appear cleaner.

Elizabeth buttered the mutton before starting to make suet crusts.Use flour, water and a little suet... well thanks to this very famous dish in the UK, at least Antonio has suet in his kitchen, otherwise she would have to go to the vegetable market alone.

For afternoon tea, she also made a pound cake, mixing a whole host of things together.Then pop it in the oven and go make your own lamb pudding.

In the living room, Jack sat on a chair and looked at the busy women in the kitchen. Jacob put his feet on the dining table and put his hands on the chair next to him.

"Why did you do this, Tony? After me, you are the only Master Assassin in London. We don't have any need to join forces with the Templars. We have the Crow Gang!" Jacob is now almost 30 years old, but he still has some passion : "Maybe there is something special about this girl that you can't forget?"

"...Well..." Antonio was a little speechless: "I don't know why, but what is certain is that she makes me feel very strange. But this matter has nothing to do with her, I will not put personal Emotions are brought into the task."

"Okay, okay, your tone is just like Evie." Jacob said: "Now that we have mastered London, why should we cooperate with the Templars?"

"That night, Ms. Morgan said to me: 'The Templar Knights have never been saved by one or two people. Maybe an excellent grand master can lead us to the top, but even if a grand master is not good enough, it is still possible. Enough for the whole Knights Templar to function according to normal laws, to control everything we can control.' I kept thinking, relying on the Crows, we can conquer all of London, but the world is in the hands of the Templars. "

"London is the center of the world."

"Maybe not." Antonio, who thought he was Italian, curled his lips: "Even the center can't replace the whole world. Jacob, if we let her assist us, we will get more!"

"It seems that I can't convince you anymore, like this." Jacob took his foot off the table: "I want to train Jack and some new assassins who joined the organization recently. I will leave these things to you and I will not stop them, but You don't want my approval either—by the way, let me ask again, do you really have no special feelings for her?"

Creatures whose gender is male, when gathered together, there will always be a little bit of wretchedness.

"...I just..." Antonio frowned, "I just don't want to see her cry." He couldn't tell what it was like.

"You fell, buddy."

"It's lunch time." Elizabeth didn't know how to use the coal oven, and almost burned the cake. She put the pound cake and mutton pudding on the table: "Try it, I think you should be hungry."

"Thank you, Miss Morgan." Antonio looked up at the ceiling: "In addition to this dirty room, you made me realize for the first time in five years what a room with a hostess looks like."

"Thank you for the compliment." Although Elizabeth accepted part of the open education on the surface, she still studied a lot of lady courses under Estelle's pressure and the general norms of society. Prepared, there is no problem to deal with these.

The social concept of the Victorian era was that "no one wants girls with too good brains", which is quite similar to the discrimination against female doctors in the 21st century. However, no matter how Estelle objected or how Elizabeth insisted, she still had to learn the content. Practical home economics subjects with the aim of "becoming a good housewife" mainly focus on needlework and housework.

"Damn sexism." Thinking of this, Elizabeth lost her appetite again, and she returned to the kitchen decisively: "So, you guys have lunch, and I'll clean up."

"No need for that." Unexpectedly, Jacob stretched out his hand to Elizabeth: "Come on, sit down and eat."

Elizabeth has always liked sweets, so she ate a few bites of mutton pudding casually—of course, it is because she has not adapted to the food of the Dark Cooking Kingdom so far.The taste of pudding in the Victorian era is absolutely unimaginable to modern people.It's just that because the materials for making pudding are very cheap, it not only has a large portion, but also contains complete nutrition, so pudding is very popular among the middle and lower working class.

She just focused on the cake.

Elizabeth is extremely fond of sweets, she doesn't eat too much, she put down the knife and fork simply moved: "I'm going to clean up in the house, Lancaster, when can I go?"

"After what I told you last night, you still decided to go back?" Antonio said, "Do you know the address here? Or... Telegram me if necessary or go directly to the Lancaster's residence .If you really decide, after Jacob and the others leave, you can leave."

"Don't worry, I'll go clean up right away." Elizabeth turned and went upstairs calmly.

"Hey, did she sleep with you last night?" Jacob leaned over with a gossipy face: "You are beautiful, Tony, that is a beauty."

"The relationship between us is pure, whether you believe it or not." Antonio held his forehead, choking speechlessly.
