She Is Not a Witch
Chapter 73: Street assassination
After bidding farewell to the three major fleets that set sail, Lorrain Hill boarded a carriage marked with a painted night flower, and then the group began to return.
As the weather gradually turned cooler, some leaves began to appear on Hopeland Avenue. Although the beach is not very cold, the night breeze that hits made everyone feel a lot of coolness.
After the hot season has passed, everyone’s appetite is much better than usual. There are more stalls selling food on the street, including cheap and affordable scones, sprinkled grilled fish with spices, and some carefully selected ones. Grilled clam meat.
The mussel meat in the white shell is slightly browned by the orange-red charcoal fire. It is sprinkled with some salt particles, and then some bay leaves are added to remove the fishy smell. The scent of meat begins to spread in the air.
"Sister, I want to eat that."
A pair of elder brothers stood by the street. The elder sister with long chestnut hair wore a black skirt, and the younger brother was in a white hunting suit. It was the sisters and brothers of the Hellis family, Meilu and Bell, and four guards behind them.
"Bell, go back and eat. I'll let the chef make it for you then."
Mei Lu looked at the stall on the street, directly exposed to the sea breeze, and occasionally some dust was picked up by the wind, and it was not very clean and hygienic.
"No, when I go back, my father has to grab me and learn those annoying numbers again. I don't want it. I will eat here. Sister, you promised me that you will have a good day with me today."
The little boy Bell began to get angry, and Mei Lu was a bit at a loss for a while. She was not that kind of cruel sister. Bell was placed high in expectations by her father since she was a child. She is usually under strict control at home, and only she can occasionally bring her out for fun. .
"Well, my sister will buy it for you." Mei Lu touched Bell's head with a touch of affection, then took his hand and walked forward to help him choose.
The carriage that Lorrain Hill was riding in also happened to pass this street, and when he saw the siblings, he stopped the car and prepared to say hello.
The cedar car door opened, and the girl walked down wearing a white knee-length skirt. The afterglow of the setting sun swept down from the edge of the sea, dyeing the white skirt with a touch of gold.
"It's been a few days, Mei..."
Before Lorrain Hill could finish speaking, a wagon behind the road suddenly lifted the wrapper, exposing a cold crossbow, the bowstring vibrated, and the sharp sound was not transmitted, and the piercing crossbow bolt directed towards The girl's body came directly.
Lorrain Hill made a decisive decision, and the light blue strappy sandals stepped heavily on the stone bricks. Using this as a fulcrum, her body quickly turned sideways, her long skirt fluttered, a blood beam and hair flew in the air, and her shoulders were more There was a blood stain, and the long hair around the ear was missing several strands.
Before the others could react, a guard beside Mei Lu suddenly pulled out a long sword and rushed towards him. The long sword made of cold iron was covered with a strange blue light.
The sword is poisonous, Lorrain Hill reacted quickly. After activating the demon core, she was not afraid of any poison, but it also meant the end of the mission and all previous efforts were wasted.
Although I don't understand why the guards of the Hollis family also did it, after a short period of thought, Lorrain Hill decided to not activate the Transcendent Core for the time being, relying on his extraordinary perception and reaction ability to easily avoid Jian Feng.
A fierce sword light slashed on the door of the cedar car and got stuck in the wood three-pointer. At this time, the guards of the Calites Chamber of Commerce also reacted and rushed over with loud shouts.
A Kalites guard wearing steel armor directly knocked the assassin away, Chelsea also pulled Lorrain Hill back into the solid carriage, and the four riders rushed directly to the crossbow behind. Before they had time to shoot the second shot, the riders stabbed the assassin they were manipulating and pulled off the carriage.
At this time, more than a dozen guards from the Calites Chamber of Commerce have surrounded the sisters and brothers of the Hellis family, aiming their spears, and standing ready. If Lorrain Hill hadn't called for an emergency stop midway, they would just rush to see you. Blood out.
The guards of these Calites Chamber of Commerce are young people who have recently been carefully selected from the Chamber of Commerce. They have excellent qualifications. Their parents and family members work in the Chamber of Commerce. They have been exposed to the affairs of the Calites Chamber of Commerce since they were young and helped to lay hands. . It can be said that the business will greatly improve their families and lives, and have a strong sense of belonging. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a second home.
But now someone assassinated Miss Lacey, the only heir of the Callites Chamber of Commerce, in front of them, and caused the Chamber of Commerce to collapse. This is equivalent to destroying their current source of happiness.
Seeing these glaring guards, the cold and cold spears were full of murderous aura, Bell shook off the shell mussel meat in fright on the spot, while Mei Lu was guarding her younger brother behind her, facing these with worry. Aiming of long spears and crossbows.
The remaining guards of the Hollis family have long been taken down and pressed to the ground.
After everything settled down, Lorrain Hill slowly walked out of the carriage, looking at the scene in front of him, a little helpless.
-----------------
The maid in the carriage carefully wrapped Lorrain Hill's arms with gauze, while the girl invited the siblings into the carriage to talk.
Ding--
The sound of the ceramic tray hitting the teacup, the maid poured the warm black tea, Bell was holding the teacup, and now slowly settled down, and Mei Lu said apologetically.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey, it is our Hollis family who is not strictly guarded, and actually let the assassin into the guard."
"Please don't get me wrong. This incident was not our Hollis's work. Tomorrow I will visit again to apologize and compensate for the loss."
"Miss Mei Lu is probably joking~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The guards around you are all carefully selected from the family members of the Chamber of Commerce. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a side branch of your family, how can you not know it? ?"
Chelsea pushed the glasses on the bridge of the nose, with sharp eyes, and seemed not satisfied with the explanation of the Eldest Hollis family.
"I know this explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it is true."
Mei Lu's voice was a little self-deprecating, with a hint of bitterness in it.
The Hellis family’s family tradition values family affection, which has led to many positions being held by relatives. These relatives are not shrewd and capable. Instead, most of the corpses are vegetarian, lazy and corrupt, making the chamber of commerce bloated.
She also dislikes these relatives who like to work, but after all, she is related by blood, and she is only the daughter of the family, not the eldest son. She will marry out in the future and can't discipline them too much. But who wants to cause such a big thing today.
Lorrain Hill had healed from the wound under the bandage at this time. She was not very angry, but she was a little surprised that Mei Lu, the parent and daughter of Hellis, had so much inconvenience and restraint at home.
In fact, this is also special for Calites. The other chambers of commerce have many relatives. Affected by the westerly family’s tradition of emphasizing family affection, Verga’s large chamber of commerce will generally give preferential treatment to their family members. After all, they are trustworthy and have many relatives. The blood relationship is stronger. But this also disperses power, breeds corruption, and often has to balance the feelings and interests of other members.
The Calites family is completely different. The interior is very refreshing. Everything depends on strength and performance. As for relatives, I'm sorry, Angus is just a daughter. Now everything is up to Miss Lacey. From top to bottom, there is only her voice. There is no need to think about other messy household chores, she just doesn't know the blessings in the blessing.
