Chapter 076 Journey to the Lenau River (2)
Chapter 076
The night is like a curtain, and the sky is full of stars.
By this time the land was long gone, but the luxury ship still broke through the water and sailed forward smoothly.
Dawn stood on the deck, trying to clear his mind against the night wind.
After getting on board, he has roughly participated in the ship, of course, some places such as the cockpit are inaccessible to him. From a clear point of view, the defense of the ship is so tight that patrolling guards can be seen almost everywhere. But Dawn believes that the trap set by Earl Black is much more than that.
Where is Scary Face now? This is a question that many people present will ponder. Dawn also made assumptions about how to assassinate if he were a Scary Face. But then he gave up, and he had better not use a normal mind to guess what a psychopath should do.
Dawn's idea now is very simple, is to watch the Earl of Black, waiting for Scary Face to assassinate, and then see if you can see something, or take off the mask of Scary Face. Dawn frowned, however, and saw Bowes as he boarded the boat.
This is a character feared by all the people who walk in the dark in Laiyan City, and Dawn is no exception.
"Damn it." Don can't help but swear, and you can see this nuisance everywhere.
"Wow, it's beautiful." A young girl standing not far from Dawn looked back at the five-story cabin road that was as brightly lit as a palace.
"Yes, it is said that this is the most satisfactory ship of the Earl of Austen. The full length of this ship. " A handsome young man standing next to the girl began to talk about the hull, looking like a lot of effort.
The girl couldn't take her eyes off, making a sound of "ah" and "wow" from time to time, showing a lovely image.
The young man obviously enjoyed it, so he showed off the image of being knowledgeable even more.
Dawn has a good memory, and picking up girls is also a technical job. What the young man said was exactly what Dawn had told by the attendant when he visited the hull before.
"what's the name of this beautiful ship?" Asked the maiden, blinking her eyes.
Uh. The young man was stupefied. Dawn chuckled, as if the waiter didn't say it.
"well. The name. Of course there is, um, it seems to be called. Nicole, by the way. "
"Nicole? Isn't that my name? " The girl wondered.
The young man obviously thought of something and said unhurriedly, "of course it's more than that. there's a Titan ahead. You know, Titan is the name of God." So the full name of the ship is the Titanic. "
To. Dawn is sweating, Nima, can't you make up another name.
"Titanic? What a strange name. "
"Pirates, what knowledge can they have? it's a normal name." The way that youth does not change its color.
"Oh."
"all right, the party is about to begin. Let's go in first."
All right, boy, I remember you! If the boat really sinks, I'll be the first to throw you into the river. Bah, crow mouth, the god of Titan, I am really joking, but do not sink.
……
Dawn followed the couple into the hall with infinite entanglement, before count Black appeared, and the party had not officially begun.
The bustling crowd in the hall talked to each other happily and kept making preparations.
In the corner of the hall are dozens of musicians wearing black tuxedos and holding various orchestral instruments. It is from there that the melodious music in the hall comes from. In the middle of the hall, there is a black piano, on which sat a middle-aged and old man with maroon curly hair. With the beating of the black and white keys, one cheerful note after another jumped out, making the ladies and girls around them infatuated.
At the entrance to the hall are several people with charcoal and drawing boards, and the scenes about aristocratic gatherings in the Laiyan tabloids are usually provided by them. Beside them, Bowes was sitting with a golden sword, looking at the painters from time to time.
The people gathered together talked about everything, including exchanging business information, talking about windy places, throwing dice and gambling, and some political parties to take advantage of the opportunity to promote ideas. For example, a middle-aged man with brown hair and a hooked nose in the middle of the right side of the crowd was giving an impassioned speech at this time.
"Let the horn of change of the new aristocracy ring through the land of Blanc, send away the old system with the death knell of dawn, and draw the wind of freedom to all the masses. Let the land of Blanc, the favourite place of God, all the people can enjoy the grace and brilliance of the God of Light. "
Bang.
I have to say that the middle-aged man's language is still very contagious, causing a lot of people around to applaud and shout.
"wonderful speech, Mr. Charles."
"Thank you. It's always easy to speak in front of a group of people." The middle-aged man chuckled and then said, "especially when these people are already drunk."
"Ha ha." The crowd could not help roaring with laughter.
"Mr. Charles, may I ask what you new aristocrats mean by freedom?" A heroic girl came over and bowed and asked. Oh, that's Joshua.
"We advocate expanding the scope of voting. You know, the people who are sitting in the chamber of Congress and voting are some old aristocrats who are nearly a hundred years old. "
"Let everyone vote?" Asked Joshua.
The middle-aged man spread his hand and said, "of course not, but it's definitely not just these moldy old aristocrats." Well, the range of voters is moderate. No, no, no. "
"in that case, the freedom you just said is' moderate freedom'?"
"exactly!"
Josiah pursed her lips. "Mr. Charles, I believe in your attainments in the new aristocratic reform system, but if I had the right to vote, such a vague purpose would not have won my vote."
After a pause, Josiah continued, "there is only one definition of freedom. One has either freedom or no freedom." Like death, there is no such thing as' moderate death'. This is always a question of pros and cons. "
……
"Wow, Tut-tut!" Dawn, who was passing by, gave a little praise. Joshua had been organizing the shouting operation recently, and now he obviously had a little bit of his own mind.
Dang Dang.
With a few crisp knocks, the side door of the hall opened, and two well-dressed middle-aged and old people came out, one as burly as a bear, the other with silver hair combed behind, it was the Earl of Austen and the Earl of Black.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and the group stood up and looked at the two count.
Here we go. With a murmur, Don gently moved his feet and leaned forward.
The two Earls did not go far before they stopped, and count Black stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Thank you all for attending the birthday party at this special time. On behalf of the Black family, I would like to greet you all."
The crowd in the hall bowed back hurriedly.
"you all understand the special time I mentioned just now. Recently, there has been a lot of chaos in Laiyan City, and many of you have suffered huge losses. I regret this. The root cause of all this is the aristocratic alliance led by the Robert family. At the request of many families, my Black family formed a resistance alliance, hoping to stop this group of people who had been blinded by greed. On behalf of the alliance, I solemnly swear that we will destroy the aristocratic alliance and redistribute the benefits to you. "
Wow.
Bang.
Naturally, those who can come to the Earl of Black's birthday party are allied families and some neutral families. Of course, they supported what they said to count Black, and some neutral ones would not dismantle the count at this time, so the atmosphere was very warm.
Then count Austen came forward and said gruffly, "recently, something that doesn't know whether to live or die has jumped out and tried to kill me and count Black." well, it's just that he won't come. If he does, I, Austen, put my words here. Today's Lenau is where he's buried! "
Uh. Slap!
Although he was not accustomed to the vulgar way in which the Earl of Austen spoke, the crowd applauded face.
The Earl of Austen took the cup and raised it and said, "well, next, let's propose a toast to count Black's birthday!"
In an instant, all the cups were raised.
When the music starts,
The melodious violin was played, the cheerful bagpipes were being played, and the dignified sound of the piano floated out.
Uh, wait, dignified?
The crowd who was about to raise their glasses turned their eyes to the piano in surprise.
The people who played the violin and bagpipes on the side of the hall also stopped in astonishment. The rhythm. Is this, is this the best part of the sonata for death? Isn't this for playing at funerals? What is this colleague doing?
The hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Only the pianist who was forgetting his heart was still playing.
At this time, the people who were slow to respond also remembered the usefulness of this piece of music, and their faces suddenly turned strange.
Soon, the best part of the death sonata was over.
The middle-aged and old pianist Huo ran got up and bowed around, as if the silence was the best applause for him.
Then he made a deep bow to the livid Earl of Black: "Happy Birthday, Earl of Black!"
Get up and say, "now, you can go to hell!"
