The brilliance in the dark is the achievement of human beings. While other creatures that have not yet reached the level of civilization can only rely on the moonlight to rest, human beings can live a day life at night.
What kind of scenery does this huge manor carry?
Somewhat exciting.
Following Wright, it was not the first time for Gore to come here, but it was Tang Hao.
As stone slabs with a strong historical imprint, they are laid in every corner of the manor with a width of only two people.
A bend, a kerosene lamp, a fountain, a bench, a shrub, a look...
It can be said to be dispensable, but it can also be said to be full of sentiment.
The lake visible to the naked eye - the Swan Lake scenery is like a bright moon, stretching around the core of the manor. Pure white buildings are embedded one after another in the center of the Swan Lake. It should be named after the Crescent Lake, but the moonlight
Afterglow shines on the lake, white swans gracefully fall on the water, walking in pairs, kerosene lamps slowly light up beside the path, the path winds along the lakeside, like a scene in a dream, so beautiful
Suffocate.
Strolling along the path, I breathed the scent of sunshine left by the day. I looked at the flowery girl squatting by the lake in front of me, caressing a few bold swans, and my eyes couldn't help but reveal a doting emotion.
The flower-like girl slowly walked out from behind the maid with elegant steps. Her purple corset skirt made her look noble. The mink velvet shawl on her shoulders protected the girl's skin. The deerskin carved high-heeled boots protected her.
The girl is holding the girl's little feet. The girl is dignified and elegant. The girl has snowflakes on her head, maybe because of the temperature, maybe because of the decorative hair accessories... The hairpin with flowers is silvery white and eye-catching. The girl is still quite afraid of the cold.
, her little hands kept rubbing, but when she saw a large group of people strolling over here, the girl seemed to have forgotten the cold, smiled charmingly, and bowed.
The ripples of the lake slowly quieted down at this moment, reflecting the stars with different brilliance in the sky, one by one like diamonds, but they looked particularly quiet under the soft light. The lovely girl, quiet in the beautiful world
, like flowers on the high mountains, making people dream.
"Brenda Leskus," Gower nudged Wright next to him with his elbow, "hasn't she always had no contact with my family? Why is she here?"
"It is true that they have not interacted with each other, and they have not interacted with each other for a long time, but the problem is that she and Claudia have a good relationship. Now that Claudia is the head of the family, the relationship naturally grows."
"It's just that she doesn't have a good relationship with you. If you weren't an old bastard who didn't have enough hands to lift other people's skirts, she wouldn't have had a tense relationship with your family. She is your niece after all, and she can also be regarded as Claudia's cousin.
....." Tang Hao had to reprimand him in a low voice, "I've been thinking, Wright, how could you, an uncle, have the nerve to lift up your niece's skirt, and you were only 9 years old at the time." p>
"What shamelessness? I drank too much at that time and played truth or dare, and then this is the dare." Wright tried to lower his voice, but his voice was trembling.
He also had some regrets. In general, Brenda was considered his brother's daughter. But she was drunk that day, so she thought that the brat wouldn't mind... He didn't expect that she would be a brat.
Big Brenda would immediately announce that she was severing ties with the family.
"So why are you looking for us?" Gower asked.
"Two things, let's talk in the room."
The twists and turns of the corridor go deep into the back of the castle, and maids wearing classic German waiter uniforms are walking along the way and bowing. They all have the Leskes family crest pinned on their chests. These golden badges reflect bright light under the lamp.
At the end of the corridor is a black wooden door, with a line of Latin text plated on it using silver water, which literally means "from the living to the dead". The door is so thick that it seems to weigh hundreds of kilograms, and it is so heavy that the air around it is heavy.
There were quite a few tall bodyguards who opened the door for them and closed it behind them.
Behind the door is a simple conference room, with dripping flower arrangements. It didn't take long after it was put in, and before the fragrance of the flowers was released, the guests were already sitting on opposite sides.
"Isn't Loeb back yet?" Wright poured three glasses of red wine and asked without raising his head like a host who invited an asshole home for dinner.
"Still in *country." Gao Er took the red wine and tasted it, "Musigny Grand Cru dry red wine, this does not suit your luxurious style."
"I don't know whether it's extravagant or not. I only know that after you drink my wine, you have to do things for me."
"Gan! Let's go. I flew from the United States to Germany just to listen to your nonsense." Tang Hao stood up and made a gesture of leaving.
Wright raised his head and stared at him: "Do you remember Haimen Port?"
Tang Hao fell silent for a moment, sat back in his seat and shook the red wine glass.
He has been to many ports, but they are all the same. In addition to containers, there are all kinds of docked cargo ships. They are so dense that they look extremely depressing. Although shipping is the most utilized and most widely used mode of transportation for foreign trade in the world, the sea
It’s always scary. In the past, you could often see a lot of rotting corpses in the port. Since the emergence of standardized management and new construction techniques, the port has become safer.
But the Haimen Port mentioned by Wright left him with lingering fears.
"The ghost of Haimen Port," Tang Hao nodded, "It's still unforgettable to this day. If I watch a ghost movie before going to bed, it will definitely be the background of Haimen Port in my dream."
"So I've been thinking, why are you recruiting Yuan Jinlong?" Wright asked.
"Yuan Jinlong?" Tang Hao didn't understand what he meant.
"He is one of the two freshmen recruited from *National this year. One of them passed away due to physical reasons. This is the other one." Gao Er patted Tang Hao on the shoulder, "What's wrong with Yuan Jinlong? Is there a problem?"
"You must be very curious about what I came into contact with in Haimen Port. I hid this matter for ten years because I felt that it should not be made public, even though no injuries occurred at that time.
But the scenes inside were so tragic that it made me feel that this world is nothing more than that."
Gao Er and Tang Hao looked at each other, "What do you want to say today?"
"That's right, because the intelligence officers also experienced similar things in Freudenstadt." Wright frowned, "This matter is not simple, and it may involve 'greed' among the seven deadly sins, so I
I’ll come over to you to discuss it.”
Tang Hao took a breath of cold air: "The seven deadly sins 'Greed'? Come on, what you said makes people's blood pressure soar and their heartbeat speed up... You have to know that 'Greed' is a super sin, because according to quantitative estimates, the world belongs to '
The number of people who believe in "greed" has reached 70%, which means that nearly 5.6 billion people in the world are greedy. We must take a long-term approach to combat this level of original sin."
