South City, Port Caquetello.
Old John dragged his tired body out of the dock warehouse.
He looked at the pool of scarlet blood on his chest with great annoyance, and scolded himself: "It's a **** disappointment, why are you wrestling!"
It was very easy to carry two bags of goods before, but when I moved a bag just now, I fell with a weak leg.
Then he vomited this blood, which happened to be seen by the foreman again.
Although he tried his best to defend himself, Old John still lost his life as a porter.
I squeezed my trouser pocket, and there was a tread of old banknotes of different denominations.
Eight hundred and seventy-six lisos, this is his salary for half a month.
He had just started work, he had no work to do, and he didn't know where to go.
When I go back now, the family members will definitely be more worried.
The whole family is counting on his job to fill their stomachs, and they really want to lose it, but what should I do?
Old John sat on the side of the road with despair in his eyes, smoking cigarettes one by one, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
He is fifty-three years old. A few years ago, he finally saved money to marry a widow who was a tailor, and he had two half-old cubs who were just the right age.
Although the days are a bit hard, it can be considered a bit of hope.
Thinking that the two children will be bigger, and relying on their relationship with the wharf for decades, I can also have a stable job when I get to the wharf.
But now, all hope is gone.
"It's all to blame for this **** disease..."
Old John sighed.
His eyes were empty, looking at the pier where he had been busy all his life in the distance, smoking a cigarette one by one.
At this moment, the sound of "bang", "bang" and "bang" sounded from the Beicheng side.
Only then did Old John's pupils have a little focal length.
According to the workers, today is the wedding of a certain princess and a prince.
Oh, like the bedtime stories my mother told when I was a kid.
Old John looked at the flowers of the cannon salute in the sky, and remembered his mother who had been dead for many years.
At this moment, there was no light in his eyes.
How hopeless it is to have no future.
Who can save this fallen world...
In a trance, he seemed to see a **** coming.
......
The golden carriage departed from Frederick Palace all the way to the Alchemy Church of Zosimos, two blocks away.
This is a classical Baroque building, a solemn sanctuary for alchemists.
When the two got off the bus, a salute was fired. This is the venue for the ceremony, and relatives and friends have been waiting here for a long time.
Su Lun looked at the thousands of strangers on the lawn and looked over, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Yekaterina always had a smile on her face. She took Su Lun's arm and walked over with a pure and confident smile all the way.
At this moment, the outside of the alchemy sanctuary has become a sea of flowers, and all kinds of festive flowers are vying for each other.
And just as the two of Su Lun walked over from the lawn, the lawn seemed to be magically cast, and more flowers bloomed under the scorching sun. With every step they took, more flowers bloomed at their feet.
Red, pink, golden, purple...
In addition to those precious flowers that imply wealth and festivity, there are also white chrysanthemums in the field of vision.
It should be a small wildflower on the hillside, but it is everywhere in the green grass.
They open brilliantly towards the blazing sun.
It is the embellishment of these elegant wild chrysanthemums, and the thick layer of color in the eyes is immediately enriched, colorful and colorful.
The breeze was blowing, and a faint floral fragrance entered the nostrils.
It's really beautiful, like stepping into a wedding hall in poetry and fairy tales.
Su Lun's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but admire: "It's beautifully arranged."
Hearing the praise, Ekaterina next to her showed a bright smile and said intimately, "Because I designed it myself."
She smiled with crooked brows, and said happily: "The wedding is only once in a lifetime, of course I hope it will be the best look in my life memory."
Su Lun smiled slightly.
In front of outsiders, this is really an innocent princess.
He also adjusted his suit and walked over with his head held high.
......
Not long after, in the Alchemy Sanctuary of Zosimos.
"Groom, would you like to..."
"I would."
"Bride, would you like to..."
"I would."
"You can kiss your bride now."
"..."
The process of the ceremony is very simple.
Probably because the aristocrats of Lu Ying had no concept of loyalty, and there was no lifetime commitment in the marriage certificate, so they simply asked a few questions.
Under the "Ouroboros and Scales" alchemy relief, Fick and Ekaterina completed the wedding ceremony on behalf of the two families.
Tossing the flowers, Anna grabbed it.
After the wedding ceremony is over, the banquet is next.
After the two newcomers finished the program, it seemed that they had nothing to do with them.
The highlight of a luxurious wedding banquet is actually the procedure for the elders of the family to discuss various cooperation matters.
After all, in the eyes of almost everyone, it was just the marriage between the second son of the Rhaegardi family and the four daughters of the Lance family, which was not worthy of attention to the newcomers who did not have the right to inherit.
After the ceremony was completed, Su Lun also seemed to have completed half of the task and was relieved.
The elders of the two families left the stage, and Su Lun and Ekaterina began to greet their friends and take pictures.
"Fick" used to be a concubine prince of Rhaegarland, a little transparent who didn't even awaken his talent, and didn't even come to Lington to go to school. Su Lun didn't even know anyone, and didn't have any friends to greet him.
On the other hand, Yekaterina has too many friends.
Family and friends, classmates of the Royal Academy, friends of the noble class, people who are attached to each other...
Most, or various pursuers.
When Su Lun kissed the bride in a ceremony just now, he felt at least dozens of jealous eyes poking at him repeatedly like sharp spears.
If eyes could kill, he would probably be riddled with holes by now.
Seeing those handsome aristocratic young people lose their souls one by one, Su Lun also found it interesting.
The former "First Beauty of the Royal Academy" is married, is the groom me?
Probably because they got to know each other a lot after reacquainting with each other at the manor. Taking advantage of the gap between one group of people taking pictures and another group of people coming over, Su Lun joked: "Miss Ekaterina, you have so many suitors. If I didn't show up today, I'm afraid I would receive them every day. Duel invitation."
Yekaterina listened to Yingying and smiled, "Yes."
She put her arms around Su Lun very intimately, as if whispering, and asked in a playful and playful tone, "Will Mr. Su Lun duel for me?"
In front of outsiders, she couldn't see the slightest deepness on her face.
Su Lun raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said decisively, "No."
Ekaterina didn't get angry, she pretended to be depressed for a moment, "Oh, what a sad answer."
There was a flash of thought in her crystal eyes, and she asked again, "What if it was Katyusha?"
Su Lun shrugged and said, "Katyusha doesn't have that many suitors looking for a duel."
The topic suddenly became interesting.
Yekaterina blinked and said, "Ah...you mean Katyusha is not beautiful enough?"
Sullen corrected: "On the contrary."
Yekaterina didn't know what to think of when she heard it, she laughed without saying a word.
It's all about complimenting yourself.
This pleasant chat didn't last long. After a while, Su Lun watched an old man in a tuxedo come over, "Master Fick, Master and Madam ask the old slave to inform you to come."
When Su Lun heard this, he couldn't escape.
What others don't know is that he is "Death", but the people of the Rhaegardi family know it.
Although he didn't know why those guys wanted to see him, it was nothing more than something related to interests.
Su Lun is not interested, but what a group of conspirators are talking about, I can't be sure what kind of moth those guys are going to make.
But... desecrate the crown?
Why don't you go and see if it really has the effect of the legend?
In an instant, many thoughts popped into his mind.
Ekaterina looked at Su Lun with a different expression, turned her eyes, and said lightly, "I'll accompany you."
Marriage is an agreement between the two, and she is also obliged to do something.
Su Lun raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright."
......
In twos and threes, the banquet hall is full of nobles in full costumes communicating.
The marriage of the two families is actually a carnival of a group of beneficiaries.
Su Lun and Ekaterina walked over, and even if he didn't approach, he could hear various topics of discussion.
The most talked about, in addition to today's wedding, there is [Scarlet Potion].
"Baron Potter, why are you so happy?"
"Haha, just now, I exchanged a share of [Scarlet Potion] from Earl Gaunt's mine shares in Baiyun Mountain! Oh, this is definitely the wisest decision in my life!"
"Ah, the high-quality iron ore of your Potter family's Baiyun Mine has been steadily produced for a hundred years. Are you willing to exchange a little pharmacy stock?"
"You don't know, you can buy the potion share now, but it's a sure-fire business! In a few days, [Scarlet Potions] will be put on the market in large quantities, and I will be able to earn hundreds of millions in no time! And tell you a top-secret news, I have inquired from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and virus experts have unanimously acknowledged that no other special medicine will be developed for this red death at least in the next few years, or even decades. In other words, [Scarlet Medicine] will continue for many years in the future. Profit, create at least trillion-level wealth..."
"My God! I've also heard about the Red Death. It is said that millions of civilians in Nancheng were infected. Oh, there are more than 28 million civilians in Lingdun! And the entire empire, that's a few. A billion! Oh, I can't imagine how much money this potion makes..."
"Damn it, I'm already in love with the 'Red Death'. It should come more violently, preferably to get those civilians infected."
"Haha, it must be indispensable! And I can guarantee that the Ministry of Health will never intervene, because Minister Landers also has a large share of pharmaceuticals..."
"Unfortunately, now [Scarlet Potion] can only be produced by Bakqi Biopharmaceutical Company. And as far as I know, Senator Lance and Senator Raphael have squeezed the goods to death, and it seems that there is no sale in a short period of time. Meaning. Anyone who asks, has not sold it. It is estimated that they will not ship until the current market price doubles again..."
"Several congressmen have done a disrespectful job on this matter. Earlier in the newspapers, it was widely publicized that there is something wrong with this medicine, so that others should not touch it, and we responded positively. It's alright, the Rodriguez family has lost With most of the controlling stake in Bakchi Corporation, Congressman Lance has become a major shareholder..."
"..."
Su Lun felt sad and funny at the same time.
A group of greedy guys are still thinking about making a profit, but they don't think that disaster is coming.
Glancing at Ekaterina next to her again, a helpless smile appeared on her face.
Being complained about being "unkind", this is a black pot, and it can't be explained.
The Lance family did make a lot of efforts to prevent the [Scarlet Elixir] from being put into the market on a large scale.
It is also the launch of counterfeit drugs to disrupt the market, and it is also an attack by public opinion.
But it didn't take long to find that it couldn't be stopped at all. On the contrary, because of the huge benefits, it attracted more speculators and various channels to spread the medicine more widely.
Later, the Lance family ended up in person, and together with several other congressmen, they directly monopolized the vast majority of the drug share, and deliberately raised the price of the drug so high that the sick civilians could not afford it at all.
Also let those who have potions in their hands continue to wait and see.
This caused the number of potions flowing into the market to plummet.
The contagious momentum is stopped.
To those who do not know the inside information, this method is a bit "underworked".
It's completely like a bad competition method, first release bad news to slander competitors, and then end up hunting the bottom.
And the problem is, so far, no one has detected a problem with the [Scarlet Elixir]!
This is also the basis for this capital carnival.
Ekaterina initially believed this information because of her trust in Su Lun and her judgment of the future situation.
Others don't know that much.
Even the filth between the "Monastery of Giants" and the Bona Royal Family is just a tacit political game of the top nobles.
The little nobles are not qualified to know at all.
After walking a few steps, I heard a lot of people talking about medicine.
At this time, Yekaterina also said: "The price of the medicine is already very high. In a few days, a group of medicine merchants who have stockpiled goods will join forces to ship. The quantity will not be small."
The number of this sentence will not be small, which means that many people will die.
"Oh."
Su Lun frowned slightly.
In addition to increasing prices, it seems that there are no better means.
The queen did not speak, and no one in the huge Luying Empire could stop the spread of the medicine.
......
Su Lun and Ekaterina walked all the way and came to a small hall.
When they came, there was already a group of guys who looked very old-fashioned.
The seats of these guys make it easy to tell their status. In the middle is a majestic middle-aged man, with his iconic upside-down mustache, Su Lun immediately recognized this guy as "Regardi XI" Kelson Regardi.
And the woman in the red dress who still had the charm beside him was Mrs. Portia.
There were also several white-bearded old men, all of whom looked to be elders of the Rhaegardi family.
In the information that Sabina had collected before, there were almost all the photos of these people, and Su Lun recognized them one by one.
However, he was not in the mood to greet these people, and instead glanced at the corner of the corner, the young Master William, who was burning with jealousy in his eyes.
This guy didn't even attend the ceremony before, probably because he couldn't see his beloved girl marrying someone else.
Su Lun was not interested in gaining this guy's jealousy, and his eyes turned to the black aperture crown on William's head.
This is a three-pointed black light crown. Its material is not any metal, but a black light with a strong mysterious atmosphere.
【Desecrate the Crown】
Description: Do mortals want to dominate everything? This is blasphemy against the gods.
Curse features: Wearing the crown, you can get a passive 'Domination Aura', increase the target's favorability within the range, and your words can shock, convince, and abet the target, and have a very strong psychological suggestion; after wearing the crown, you can get 'control', which can bless the power of alchemy Can, actively release the spells that are higher than the current law understanding; gain the passive ability of 'insight', and improve the affinity of the whole system, you will be easier to understand the law, the field, and gain insight into the secret behind the appearance of the world; cognition is heavy, wisdom Extremely will hurt, using the crown blessing should not belong to your cognition, it will continue to reduce lifespan and mental distortion;
Detailed explanation: The magic crown condensed by the power of multiple laws, the symbol of the supreme imperial power; Rhaegardi I found this unfinished crown in an ancient dwarf ruin, and he forged it into the family's blood inheritance holy relic; put it on It, you are the king who dominates everything. It can be used as an advanced material for professionals. The fusion needs to understand the 'overlord's domineering' or the 'dominant domineering', the four elements of earth, feng shui and fire understand the S evaluation, the super sixteen rules comprehend the A+ evaluation, after the fusion, the blessing field, comprehend [ Kingship], [dominant] ability;
Su Lun looked over, and for a moment, his eyes narrowed.
Because I knew some information before, it was not too surprising to see this black light crown.
He also muttered in his heart: "It really has the effect of blessing the realm of perception... The poor royal family of Lei Jiadi really has some good things."
The identification is similar to what I heard from Ekaterina before.
The crown, the shocking halo, etc., are all expected.
When I went to the palace before, Queen Charlotte's crown had a similar effect and was suitable for PUA subjects.
The most important thing is that the legendary effect of assisting the realm of perception is true!
Although I can't see how strong the effect is, the effect of curses that generally consume life is not bad.
And there are some other things.
For example, this crown can be used as an advanced material.
"Tsk tsk... This fusion condition is really harsh."
Su Lun took a look. Two rare and domineering hard conditions directly blocked the vast majority of people.
And the evaluation of the sixteen rules behind A+ or above, it can be said that almost no one can be satisfied.
Even top professionals specialize in their respective fields, and few are greedy for more.
Su Lun looked at himself, UU reading was also a little behind the boss. Even though he has been harvesting various elemental comprehension fragments, water and fire are just S grades, earth and wind are just A+, and the other sixteen types of A+ elemental understandings are not available.
If you really want to get it, it will take a long time to digest.
what...
Why do I stop thinking about getting my hands on it?
This crown is still worn on the head of the first-in-line heir.
Oh, I just found out that after I haven't seen you for a few days, this young master William has become stronger again?
Su Lun sensed something, guessing that this guy is probably turning grief and anger into strength, even if it consumes his lifespan, he has to advance to the seventh level.
Then...
It's obviously not killing the heart!
Su Lun had some thoughts in his mind. Remember the website address, www. biquxu. Com, it is convenient to read next time, or you can enter this site by entering "" in Baidu
