After sharing some interesting things and the anecdotes between the nobles, Audrey stopped the writing movements and put on a look back.
Based on the excellent memory of the "audience", she used the fragmentary words and occasional teachings of the Earl of Father Hall to sort out the banquets, dances and some of the news heard in the salon, and organized them into paragraphs.
After playing the draft, Audrey wrote the pen:
"About the political situation of Beckland you asked, this is not within my interest. I can only describe the details that I happened to know by impression."
"Just a while ago, my father told me that after the "Crops Act" was abolished, the price of food plummeted, and the rent standards for fields and pastures fell off the cliff. The specific extent is not clear. I can only give you an example. understand."
"You know, the Duke of Nigan is the aristocrat who has the most land outside the royal family. He claims to have more than 12 million pounds of fields, pastures and forests. Last year, his rent income reached the highest level ever, 1.3 million pounds. This year, the total rent that can be foreseen is 850,000 pounds, which is a reduction of 450,000 gold pounds, which has exceeded all the assets I can get."
"I don't need more explanations. My dear brother, you must understand the characteristics of most old-school aristocrats. They are proud of owning land, mainly based on rent, and they are better than everything, even if they are in debt. Matching the life of its own status, the cost of repairing the castle in 10,000 pounds per year, the tens of thousands of pounds of clothing and jewellery per year, and the constant hunting activities, social banquets, occasional grand weddings, extravagant funerals, etc. ”
"Because of the serious decline in rents, as far as I know, some nobles have financial difficulties. For this reason, Earl Wolfe sold 840,000 acres of land in the country and received 290,000 gold pounds. The Viscount Conrad will value The collection of 55,000 gold pounds was sold to the National Gallery."
"In addition to a small number of powerful aristocrats have long shifted their focus to the steel, coal, railway, banking, rubber and other industries, others have suffered serious damage in this "grain bill" storm, let us praise us here. Dear Earl Earl!"
"My father told me that the financial embarrassment will make the aristocrats' control over the party politics to the lower house seats decline. It is conceivable that the number of members of the aristocrats who are born in the land will be reduced a lot in the next year's change."
"And the Conservatives and the New Party, in order to raise funds, promised that no matter who they are, as long as they have no criminal record and donate enough money, they will seek for the other party. Of course, the premise is that the gentleman has the lowest land that matches the title. area."
“An example is that the wealthy Mr. Sindras purchased the minimum of 600,000 acres of land needed for the Baron, then donated 100,000 gold pounds to the Carlton Club, and donated 400,000 pounds to the Conservative Party. 300,000 pounds, and finally succeeded in getting the title of His Majesty the King, becoming a distinguished Baron. In this respect, I heard that there is a price list, from the Baron is 300,000 pounds, the hereditary Baron is 70 to 1 million pounds, the Viscount and the Earl are not A clear answer, but I want to be sure enough exaggeration."
......
"In this year, many aristocrats with financial problems began to seriously consider the possibility of friendship with wealthy businessmen. In just two months, there were three similar marriages. The dowry of the woman is very coveted."
“In addition, the workers who marched to protest the Grain Act did get a reduction in food prices, but the quality of their lives did not improve, even lower, because bankrupt farmers entered the city and snatched with low salary demands. Working, the wages of the working class are falling rapidly."
"I remember that day, after talking about these things, my father asked me, who do you think is the winner of this "Corn Bill" incident?"
"Dear Alfred, you must know the answer, you can certainly rely on your own efforts to get a hereditary title."
............
Hugh Dilcha and Folswall, who got Audrey's reply, were riding the carriage back to the Beckland Bridge area.
The blonde looked at the window in a mess, and the eyes were bright as if two flames were burning.
She kept saying the words "450 pounds", just like mourning the mantra, and every time I read it, I can get the growth of courage and strength.
"Dakholm has not come to us today, telling the recent investigation, we will go directly to his house!" Suddenly, Hugh turned to look at Fols.
Dakholm is the leader of a gang in the eastern part of Beckland, controlling many beggars and thieves.
Although he always looks like a kind, the round face always has a smile full of affinity, but Hugh knows that this is a cruel and vicious villain. He once stepped on the hand of a 13-year-old thief. Just because the other person has hidden the harvest.
If it is not necessary, Hugh or even not willing to see Dakholm, but the other is one of the people who know the most tramp in this city.
Forth turned the micro-volume brown hair to the back of the ear:
"As long as I don't delay my lunch."
"No problem! Maybe after this week, I will ask you to have an Intis meal!" Hugh feels very good and promises.
"Do I have to thank God for this?" Foers asked a funny question.
She is different from Hugh, she is a shallow believer in the **** of steam and machinery.
During the talk, the two girls changed to another public carriage and went to the eastern part of Beckland to find the home of Dakholm.
This is a townhouse in a narrow alley with green plants on the walls and a messy outside environment.
Take a break to the door, raise your right hand, and tap the door a few times with a unique rhythm.
Oops, the door that was not closed was opened back with her knock.
Hugh’s faint expression turned into seriousness, like a flaming lion.
She pulled out the three-sided thorns that she carried with her, carefully pushing the door and slowly entering.
Fols also changed the state of carelessness, and I did not know where to find a dagger.
They didn't smell strange smells, but the rich experience made them keenly aware of it.
One step, two steps, three steps, Hugh and Fols entered the home of Dakholm.
Then they saw the pale broken arm on the gas lamp, saw the heart, liver, spleen and lungs on the coffee table, and saw one after another flesh and blood on the floor, hanging on the coat rack!
A white bone was shaved very cleanly and piled up in the right place at the door.
Among the white bones, there is a head with empty eyes, it is Dakholm.
His mellow face still maintains a kind smile, it seems that everything is normal, and the interior of the house is not filled with **** taste, and there is no trace.
As a former clinic doctor, later best-selling author, sequence 9 extraordinary, Fols had seen a more disgusting death scene than this, and she took a look at her tight, vomiting, and looking around. Shen Sheng said:
"Qilings? 'Hurricane Lieutenant' Qilingus?"
"He found that Dirkholm was investigating the missing tramp, so he followed it back and went straight to the door?"
"Or Dakholm found his whereabouts, but was he discovered?"
Hugh reluctantly moved the nausea and raised his face with a solemn expression:
“It’s not a pirate general known for being fierce and deceitful... and the difference here is also in line with the performance of his magical item.”
"Blackmail..." Fols suddenly panicked and blurted out. "Would he wait in the vicinity and try to ambush his main messenger?"
After a break, I replied in a slight panic:
"Probably!"
That is the "wind man" of Sequence 6, a big pirate who holds a magical item, and the two of them only have sequence 9!
This is a very simple and easy comparison!
......
In the house opposite Dakholm's house, a 30-year-old man with a unique wide chin and dark green eyes stood by the window, staring coldly at Hugh and Fols, pushing the door and slowly entering.
This is exactly the "Hurricane Lieutenant" Qi Lingus!
The black gloves worn by his left palm suddenly squirmed like a vitality, and a dark gold-colored scales appeared on the surface.
Qilingus reveals a cruel and happy expression, and the dark green eyes become pale gold and ruthless erect.
......
Foer thought for a turn, busy pulling off to the other side, avoiding the area facing the door.
Then, as she bit her white teeth, she took off a string of bracelets covered by the ruffles of the cuffs.
There are three dark blue rough stones on the silver bracelet. The surface of the stone is full of burning marks and uneven.
Folly slammed a stone and shouted in ancient Hermes:
"door!"
She firmly grasped Hugh Dilcha and watched the stone bloom with an illusory light blue glow.
The figure of the two ladies is blurred and close to invisible.
They saw things that were difficult to describe, even transparent, as if they did not exist. They saw one after another of different colors, the infinite brilliance of inexhaustible knowledge, they entered the mysterious spiritual world.
In the weird world above reality, Fols took a step in a certain direction.
After three breaths, they got out of the transparent and illusory state, returned to reality, and returned to Beckland.
However, where they are located is not the home of Dakholm, but an unmanned cemetery.
......
Qilingers, wearing a pair of fine-fisted gloves, quietly appeared at the door of Dakholm, his eyes swept coldly inside.
He snorted and frowned slightly, saying to himself:
"'traveller'?"
............
In the cemetery.
"What should I do next?" Fowles gasped and panted.
The string of bracelets is another magical item she got in the adventure of getting the apprenticeship recipe and materials. In addition to the full moon every month, she will hear some strange, vague slang and no other hidden dangers. .
There were originally five stones on the bracelet, which allowed her to walk through the spiritual world and do things similar to transmission, but now there are only two.
Rested the mind and spirit, Zheng focused on the road:
"Notify Miss Audrey first, then, then call the police!"
