Chapter 263 Pera
Lily stood at the window, with the window open inward, pinning the pale yellow curtains behind the window frames so that the sun could slant to the letter paper in her hand. The letter was from Musey Harbor, and Graves helped forward it from York City and sent it to Chippeva City as agreed in the previous communication.
The streets outside the window seemed to be more rushed than before. Some extraordinary people failed to stop the taxi cart and simply ran on the road. Such a dangerous move did not even stop the city guards.
Footsteps sounded at the door, and Lily hurriedly folded the letter paper in her hand and put it into the bag. The person who came pushed the door into the room, but it was Jacques.
"Lily, Marian invites us to the reception room, there is something to do."
"OK, dear."
...
The nine people came to the reception room in one by one. When Marian saw that everyone was here, she slowly spoke: "Hey, we are really not going well, why would we encounter the beast tide..."
"Beast Tide!"
"Really and false!"
"We're going to get rich!"
"No, no! We must leave quickly..."
Everyone had different expressions, and Marian continued, "I can't leave, the pier has been blocked, and we will be summoned to guard the city wall tomorrow."
"Why!" Fran quit first, he was about to set out in four days. How could he encounter the case of blocking the dock and forced recruitment?
Marian immediately said, "Why? It's not you... it's not the rule of the empire. In order to avoid everyone trying to escape the beast tide, which affects combat power and morale, it is probably because Chippeva began to implement this rule more than 40 years ago. We need to register to enter the city, just to recruit extraordinary people to guard the city walls if necessary."
"Then can our ship... still set off on time?" Fran was a little depressed.
"Mr. Fran is still not familiar with the beast tide of Chipeva. The beast tide in history will last at least half a month, and there has been a record of a strange beast siege Chipeva for one month." Marian explained to him patiently.
Natasha asked another question, "I heard that the hunting during the beast tide will be our own? If you are lucky, you can make a fortune..."
Marian said helplessly: "You saw it from the textbooks of the Source Energy Academy. The empire's textbooks should have been revised long ago, and they have not kept up with the changes in the times. They have many mistakes and omissions. Do you know why you are required to not leave and forcefully participate in defending the city? The main thing is the gains from the beast tide, which cannot be attributed to individuals now."
"Why!"
Guys Jacques, who were still hoping to make some money in the beast tide, were disappointed and groaned.
"Why, how do I know the rules set by the previous emperor? But everyone will not suffer too much. The extraordinary people in each defensive section can equally divide half of the profits of the section, the legion takes away 30%, and the other 20% will be returned to Chipewa City. The city hall will be valuated and the silver coins will be issued directly after the acquisition is unified." Marian was helpless.
Jacques asked, "What's going on in that defensive section?"
Marian also said he didn't know, but he found the manager of the Chippeva branch of West Trading.
The branch manager is a mixed-race woman, in her thirties, strong and beautiful face, and is a stylist named Pera.
Although Pera has been working and living downstairs, she has never been to the fourth floor. When there is no one from the West family living here, only the maids will come to clean it up routinely.
