Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time.

The screams of the wounded have stopped. In the collapsed concrete wall, the workers have carried the injured companions to the infirmary. There are no wounded outside the wall, only the dead.

The chief steward of the factory smiled and complimented the hero who helped destroy the enemy when the wall was broken.

"I don't know what to call your Excellency?" the chief steward asked. "My master, Viscount Berardi, must be grateful."

"Charles McGarden." Charles put his name on it, "I met the Viscount many years ago, and you say hello to him on my behalf."

The chief steward was startled when he heard someone's name, and the compliments kept pouring out, like water from a water pipe cut by an excavator.

Charles said nothing, turned and left the textile factory along the road.

After Linda left, he spent a few days in the Bischberg Kingdom, and encountered several similar battles. Each time those who attacked the factory were attacked from behind by him and finally defeated.

Soon after, Charles came to the city of Messina, a place he had visited many years ago.

At this time, it is the season of flowers in full bloom. Walking in the city is still full of dazzling eyes, and the nose is also intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

Charles put on a little make-up, lest anyone recognize him.

"I am the Earl of McGarden, you **** scum quickly die!"

A child's cry made someone almost hit the **** the street.

He turned his head and saw a group of seven or eight-year-old children playing games in the alley across the street.

A boy wearing a white mask and a yellow hat stood on the steps, wielding a wooden sword and slashing at the children who were supposed to be water pirates.

However, the popularity of this old brother was not good. Everyone didn't want to play with him and wanted to beat him. "Earl McGarden" was soon swarmed by the "water pirates" and pressed to the ground, and the "water pirates" took off his shoes and scratched him. Bottom of foot.

The kids made a fuss for a while, and then they cast lots again to choose whoever played "Earl McGarden".

Charles shook his head and smiled, then walked to a shop that sold gummy slime on the side of the road and threw a silver dinar coin to the clerk, asking the clerk to deliver one kilogram of candy to each of the children.

In an unremarkable tavern in the city, Charles found an empty table in the middle and sat down.

On the table were several empty cups and a kettle.

He picked up five cups, put four down, one upside down on two cups, then picked up the kettle and poured water on the bottoms of the cups.

The cold boiled water was poured on the bottom of the cup, and then flowed into the four cups at the bottom.

When the guests in the tavern saw Charles doing this, they immediately stretched out their hands to hold the weapon, and their faces were not good.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The tavern owner, who had one leg replaced by a wooden stick, stooped and walked over. His hands were casually tidying up. The guests in the store immediately relaxed. continued to touch the waiter's thigh.

The tavern owner looked like a little old man who was dying, and his teeth were about to fall out.

Sitting across from Charles, he took a pipe out of his pocket, stuffed it in and took a few puffs.

Charles didn't smoke much in this world, but he could smell that the cut tobacco was high-end.

"The cup is clean," said the boss.

Charles put the upside-down cup in front of him with only a little water at the bottom, but Charles still acted like he was serving tea.

"My pocket is cleaner than it is," Charles said.

The boss asked, "How much can you put in your pocket?"

Charles replied: "Two white flowers, bulging (⊙⊙)."

The boss looked at Charles carefully and asked, "Which one did you follow?"

Charles replied: "Red poisonous spider."

The boss's eyes suddenly stared, and the eyes of Charles became sharp.

Charles didn't change his face, he didn't know if the other party was testing him or if there was a problem with his answer.

The boss took a few puffs of his pipe, and the shredded tobacco inside was quickly burned out. He knocked the ash on the ground and asked, "Murder or intelligence?"

Seeing that the other party started to talk about business, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

This "Black Bat" organization that has survived in the shadows of the mainland for an unknown number of years is difficult to find, and it took Charles a lot of effort to find it.

This is not the first time he has dealt with "Black Bats". Before that, he asked Alfred to contact them and paid them to eliminate Allen's teammates.

It's just that he didn't follow Ah Fu's way this time, but contacted them through a friend.

When Charles helped Tarantula detoxify in Chapter 680, he never thought that this elusive **** businessman on the mainland had a connection with the "Black Bat".

"I have a long and a short business," Charles said.

"I want to cooperate with you for a long time. I need all the information related to the 'Wool War' in Bischberg Kingdom."

"The short-term business is the information on those who broke the seal of the devil in the knowledge city not long ago."

The boss took out the shredded tobacco and stuffed it into the pipe again and started smoking. After smoking a pipe, he said, "We'll take this order. She will come to you at that time, and you can discuss the cost."

Charles was shocked, it seemed that he had been exposed, the biggest possibility was that there was a problem with the connection code given by Tarantula, and she was probably not low in the "black bat".

After the matter was settled, Charles left the pub, turned a few corners to get rid of the stalker, and returned to the busy street.

Compared with the place where gunpowder began to spread, the city is still peaceful and calm on the surface.

It's just that no one knows how and how the situation will develop and when the battle will take place in the city.

The chaos of war often means opportunity, especially for those who lick blood on the tip of their knives.

Charles went to the tavern of the Adventurer's Guild, intending to hear what new news was here.

It was already dinner time, and he ordered a few dishes of Messina's special flowers for dinner.

The scented tea made from fresh local flowers is fragrant and is a must-have drink for people here.

The waitress recommended a new dish for him. The boiled pork belly was cut into slices and placed on a plate, and then stirred with garlic, shredded flowers, sesame oil, sugar and a little salt, drizzled with a spoonful of mixed oil, and then poured over the meat slices. superior.

Charles gave the girl a tip, and the girl told him mysteriously that this dish was learned by the adventurers from the south from the Principality of Andorra, and the chef of the tavern made a little improvement.

A certain person nodded, it seems that the source of this dish is the garlic paste white meat made by his apprentices.

However, the local chef made some adjustments to make the dish smell of flowers and turned into white meat with flowers.

There are also scrambled eggs with flowers, which probably evolved from fried eggs with chives, and he thinks it tastes pretty good.

Then there is the tempura made of rose flowers. This practice brought by Japanese travelers has a long history. It tastes delicious and crispy.

You don't forget to listen to the news while enjoying someone's food~lightnovelpub.net~ An interesting word appears frequently in the conversation of everyone.

"Share knight", Charles didn't react for a while when he heard the word, and it took him a while to figure out what it meant.

Different from the previous practice of granting land to knights, those factory owners came up with a way to increase their strength. They took part of the shares of the factory and gave them to the newly created knights.

Charles had to admire that these emerging capitalists are very smart, and the shares of the textile mills of Rijindoujin can indeed attract those powerful civilian adventurers and mercenaries to join their ranks.

These new knights are bound to defend their own factories as well as their own land.

Charles couldn't help thinking, in this world of swords and magic with extraordinary power, what impact this "industrial aristocrat", which is different from the "land aristocracy", would bring to the world, and how far they could go.
