Compared with the noisy bustle of the past, Verrocchio's studio today seems extremely deserted.
Ghirlandaio spread out on the sofa without interest: "Botticelli and Lawrence are running about Leonardo. The teacher and Mr. Ludovic have been staying in the office. By the way, Perugino, this
It seems like Creedy hasn’t come to the studio for two days?”
"I don't know..." Perugino was very sad and had no intention of creating. He was fiddling with the brush in silence, "Maybe he is also running for Leonardo's affairs."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Ghirlandaio was a little annoyed: "Really, at this critical moment, I am so...powerless?"
He felt very sad.
Verrocchio didn't have time to share the situation so far with Ghirlandaio and Perugino, so the two of them are still confused.
...In Annuo's mansion.
Annuo is still not sure whether Credy is the person behind the scenes, but based on Annuo's observations of Credy these days, Credy is at least a serious suspect.
Anno explained to Manlio what happened to Leonardo and Suvarte these days.
"So, Manlio, I hope you can serve as a witness when the time comes, okay?" Annuo looked into Manlio's eyes.
Manlio lowered his head nervously.
"Not just for my brother Leonardo, but also for...Suwalt."
"I'm just asking for your own opinion, Manlio. This is just a request. If you don't want to face Suvart, I won't force you."
Manlio lowered his head and grabbed the corner of Annuo's clothes.
"Lawrence, sir." Manlio was silent for a long time, but he still raised his head, his body trembling slightly.
"I am here."
"I am willing to attend and serve as Mr. Leonardo's witness." Manlio's voice trembled, but he still spoke affirmatively.
"Thank you, Manlio." Anno held Manlio's thin hand and shook it.
Manlio smiled.
He is a grateful person. When he was imprisoned by his own brother, Suvart, Manlio was almost a walking zombie without any thought.
Without knowledge, resistance, and dignity.
More than ten years passed in such a muddle, and in the end I couldn't even speak clearly.
Until I met Anno.
This handsome, female-like gentleman with flying long hair broke into Suwalt's house and fished Manrio out of the abyss of the sea.
For the first time since Manlio became aware of it, he ate what could be regarded as normal food, and did not have to eat the leftovers that wild dogs did not fight for; for the first time he sat at the dining table, and did not just huddle in a damp corner;
For once, sleep on a large, soft bed instead of a hard floor.
Manlio is ignorant, ignorant of knowledge, and has no understanding of society. The only people he comes into contact with are Suwalt and Suwalt's alcoholic friends.
It is precisely because of this that apart from the fear of Suvart, Manlio has only purity.
As Anno said, people who have been redeemed will be more willing to lend a helping hand to the frustrated and redeem others.
Fedino redeemed Annuo in the heavy rain, and Annuo redeemed Manlio who was trapped in the abyss of fate. Manlio now wants to help Leonardo, who is deeply wronged.
