Poverty Alleviation Princess

"The day of judgment...?"

Many people repeated the term in low voices.

That sounds like a no-brainer.

Furthermore... a trial?

Who is to be judged?

And who will be the judge?In what way?

"Soon, our ceremony is about to begin. People who have defiled their bloodlines, filthy bugs." Duke Castro's eyes turned around in the large hall. "There are also shameless whores and bastards who are with the untouchables, and they will all be judged by the Supreme."

"You! You are not qualified to usher in the future with us. Only the chosen ones can have the 'gift'."

Hearing this, someone behind him showed a distorted smile and raised the wine glass in his hand.

A Yuan can recognize that the most fanatical people here are almost all those who Elena told her before, who should have fallen out of power or were seriously ill—it seems that the reason why they can stand here well is that Because of the so-called 'gift'.

Wealth and the like are easy to talk about, but restoring the health of seriously ill and disabled people... In the eyes of everyone, this may indeed look like a miracle or a gift from God.

She couldn't help touching her wrist.

Under the wide sleeves is hidden the kunai that Uchiha Madara gave her in the past.

Although it is only a small kunai used by ninja children, if it is used well, it may not be able to change the situation.

Duke Castro watched with satisfaction the terrified expressions of the people after his words fell.

too long

It has been too long since he has experienced such a vivid taste of high position and authority, and enjoyed people's fearful eyes.

Indeed, he is a person of status here. Whether it is the head of the old noble family or the Duke Castro himself, many people respect and flatter him.

But that's not enough.

What he needs is to see people's surrender, and people's eyes of fear and awe.Rather than a light word of respect.

However, as he grows older, he feels more and more powerless, and this ambition buried in his heart is burning like a wildfire.

Why is it that Cavour, who is inferior to him in every way, can step up to a high position and influence the progress of the kingdom, but he, who has the most noble blood, will disappear with this declining dynasty.

He is not reconciled to decay like this. For this reason, he pursues eternal youth and immortality—even selling his soul to the devil.

Therefore, after meeting the card owner who can bring a seriously ill person back to life, he followed him without hesitation.After all, he only needs money and the flesh and blood of some untouchables to get what he wants, which in his opinion is really a cheap price.

So he was willing to stoop and obey his orders, to provide him with everything he could.

Finally, ushered in today, ushered in the "day of judgment" that can fulfill long-cherished wishes.

His face was flushed, and suddenly he held up something like an amulet, and shouted: "For the trial! For the future!"

"For the trial! For the future!"

The people behind him also shouted frantically.Corresponding to it is the panic that is constantly contagious among those who have not joined in front of them.

If it weren't for the attendants of that weapon standing beside them, they would have scattered and fled in all directions.However, even if accompanied by armed servants, some people lost their minds under extreme fear.

Without warning, a man pushed his female companion towards the attendant next to him, then turned and ran away.

With the first one, immediately one after another tried to escape in the same way—even though the first person to escape had already been killed by the attendant who reacted next to him.But people overwhelmed by fear still blindly imitate and try to escape.

A Yuan and Ai Lianna protected a few girls who were almost implicated and fell down with quick eyesight and hands, and only then did they avoid the stampede.

Someone rushed to the corridor, someone got under the table.

But no matter where they go, they will be caught and killed one by one.

And Duke Castro watched this farce performed with life together with the people behind him with smiles.

The deaths of a few or a dozen people are nothing to them.

Even better than a piece of jewelry and a bottle of fine wine can arouse their interest, especially in front of the trial.

The more the lowly untouchables die, the cleaner the country and the world they can have.

So they laughed, laughing as the bodies of those who might have been talking to them just now were dragged out by the expressionless attendants.

"Okay, I think all gentlemen and ladies should be as impatient as we are to witness this moment, come on, let's go to the ceremony site now."

After he finished speaking, he turned first and walked towards the promenade leading to the parliament hall, and the people standing behind him also raised their feet to follow, and finally, it was A Yuan and the others who were unwilling 'participants'.Different from the people who walked forward with their heads held high and full of expectations, the people who walked at the end were very depressed, and even when they cried, they just covered their mouths and dared not make a sound.I was afraid that I would become the next victim because of this voice.

A Yuan didn't make a sound either, she was not tall, and she was even more inconspicuous among the crowd, so she took this opportunity to observe the situation in the corridor, hoping to find something useful, or find a way to escape.

However, the corridor was too short. Before she could come up with anything, the group walked to the Roman-style circular meeting room.

This conference hall, which was supposed to be magnificent, looked like a guillotine to the people behind.

The platform directly in front of it under the spotlight is more like a high platform on which guillotines are placed.

The people in front were seated one after another, while the people behind were driven together like livestock.

And just when A Yuan was about to walk over with Elena, she was suddenly stopped by an attendant with a weird smirk.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

The sudden incident has aroused people's discussion.

"Sorry, the lady is going to another place."

The attendant bowed slightly.

"We are together." Elena stood up. "What's the matter? I'll go with her."

Now that the situation is unclear, it is impossible for her to let her helpless companion be taken away alone.If they are scattered, if something happens, they will not be able to help even if they want to.

"No no." The servant shook his head. "Only the lady can go alone."

"So what's the matter..."

Elena became impatient, but she was interrupted by A Yuan before she finished speaking.

"nothing."

A Yuan took Elena's hand and shook her head at her.

"But……"

"You stay with Spedo." After patting her companion's arm reassuringly, the girl who was a little shorter than the women in this place took a step forward and stood in front of the attendant with a smirk .

"Aren't you going to take me away?"

She raised her chin slightly, looking a little arrogant.

"Yes, please come with me."

The attendant turned to lead the way, and then another attendant walked out of the line and stood behind A Yuan, and the two followed A Yuan up the stairs on one side.

Duke Castro didn't speak again until he could no longer see the figures of the three of them.

"I am very sorry for treating everyone so roughly. If there are people who become our companions after the trial, I will definitely offer a generous gift to appease the shock you received."

After he finished speaking without sincerity, he walked onto the stage, nodded to the man in the cloak standing beside the curtain and asked, "Can we start the ceremony?"

"It's not time yet." A hoarse female voice came from under the cloak. "The owner of the card also needs to welcome a key character. The moment when all the characters are present is the beginning of the ceremony."

A Yuan silently followed the attendants upstairs.

Leave the conference hall and continue upward until you reach the top floor.

She made no attempt to formulate words from the attendants.

On the one hand, the time is too short to get any information, and on the other hand, she doesn't think these weird attendants are normal people who can talk.Rather than working hard in this area, it is better to reserve the spirit to face the problems that may be encountered next... and then look forward to whether Giotto, who has no road so far, can find out the problems in time and take action.

However, A Yuan was silent, but the attendant leading the way spoke:

"You don't seem curious where it's taking you?"

"If I know the answer, can I not go?"

A Yuan asked back.

"Of course not."

The attendant who led the way turned his head, with a mask-like smirk on his face.

"Then what's the use of asking?"

"I thought you would like to know where you were going, and why you were called out alone?"

"I want to know, but will you tell me?"

"It's okay to tell you this."

The attendant led A Yuan through the long corridor upstairs covered with a thick scarlet carpet, and came to the door at the end.

"The reason why I brought you here is because your uncle missed you very much. That's why he specially called you to this Altar of Rebirth."

The smile on his face deepened a little.

"It's really touching."

"...Yeah, it's quite touching."

The kind that dare not move.

A Yuan understood immediately.

No matter what the real meaning is, behind this gate, there must be the figure of her 'uncle' who regards herself as a thorn in the side.

"Since you're here, why don't you bring him here?"

A man's voice raised an octave impatiently from behind the half-open door.

Hearing this voice, the attendant bowed and bowed: "Please, ma'am."

A Yuan ignored him, pushed open the door and walked in.After she entered, the door closed firmly behind her.

This room is full of weird decorations. If you look carefully, there are many things covered by curtains. A well-dressed middle-aged man is walking towards her with a ferocious smile and a wine glass in his hand.

"It's finally here, my lovely niece. I've been thinking about seeing you again—just you in your coffin."

"Although I couldn't directly see your corpse in the coffin, it is also a good choice to witness your death with your own eyes - when that guy comes, you will die here. I heard that it was a death that drained all the blood from your body. Fa, tsk tsk, it sounds very painful-but if you kneel on the ground and beg me now, maybe I can ask him to give you a quicker death."

The man was full of malice, he deliberately put his footsteps full, he wanted to feel the fear of this hateful niece more, wanted to see her frightened eyes, wanted to see her crying and kneeling down begging for mercy.However, what greeted him was the other party's blank expression: "Sorry..." Ah Yuan really felt a little bit guilty, "Which uncle of mine are you?"

After being out for so long, she really forgot what those greedy uncles looked like.

There are so many things to care about, and there are so many beautiful scenery and people, why should she keep the faces of those who want to harm her in her heart?

The smile on the middle-aged man's face gradually froze and finally disappeared.

He was dressed roughly, and his neck was thickened with rage.The hand holding the wine glass was strained with blue veins from exertion.

"I'm really sorry."

A Yuan continued with a 'face full of sincerity'.

"I really can't remember, can you give me some hints? You know, I don't have a good memory, and I can't remember being ugly... No, someone who looks like nothing."

Don't think I didn't hear you calling me ugly.

The please come in on the man's forehead also exploded.

"soy Mujer."

He was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to throw the wine glass out of his hand because he thought that this was the place where the evil card master held the ceremony. He could only look around and put the wine glass on the small table beside him, Stepping up to A Yuan, he grabbed her by the collar.

It's all this stinky girl.

If it weren't for her absconding overnight and taking away a large amount of working capital and valuable jewelry and antiques, he wouldn't have been hindered by everything and couldn't do what he wanted.Even after missing opportunities many times due to insufficient liquidity, it is only now that they are left behind.

If it wasn't for this stinky girl's refusal to marry honestly, he wouldn't have missed his partner. Now he can only watch another earl who married his daughter earn a lot of money.

If it hadn't been for Albert, the guy who eats inside and out and begs for a woman, to give this stinky girl shelter...

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his eyes turned red, and the hand holding A Yuan's collar became more and more forceful, and A Yuan, who was almost a head shorter than him, was lifted from the ground.

A Yuan could even vaguely feel the hot air from his nostrils.

--It's now.

She skillfully buckled the mechanism, and the kunai hidden under the sleeve slipped into her hands. Then, she grabbed the arm of the uncle who was holding her with one hand, and pinched and twisted it vigorously at a certain position of his arm, Taking advantage of the fact that he was slow to react because he had the chance to win and was angry, he changed his position as soon as he changed his identity from the 'hostage' to the 'hostage'.

"I'm sorry." She kicked the opponent's knee to make him kneel on the ground, and then the kunai in her hand touched his well-maintained thick neck.

"It seems that you are kneeling now."

Her heart was beating very fast, and she was still very excited-to be honest, it was also the first time for her to do such a 'anti-kill' against the enemy alone.

"Ah, but it's true that I said I forgot your name."

She hugged the opponent's head with one hand, and held Kunai firmly with the other hand, so that as long as the opponent moved slightly, she could cut his throat with the sharp kunai.

"Don't get excited. My niece is also the first time I do this kind of thing. My hands may not be so steady... If you move and I accidentally shake my hands, it won't be good." She said, the kunai in her hand stuck tightly Tightened a little, the man could even feel the tingling pain from his neck, "So, can you tell me what this day of judgment is now? Uncle, father, father, man!"

clap clap.

However, before the man held down could answer, monotonous applause suddenly broke out.

A Yuan looked along the place where the sound came from, and saw a well-dressed, extremely handsome middle-aged man standing by the window, looking at him with admiration.

Seems to be very satisfied with the show I just saw.

"Master of Cards!"

Seeing this man, 'Uncle' had a look of surprise on his face, "Quick, save me. This stinking girl..."

"The 'stinky girl' you speak of is actually my niece based on the genealogy."

However, the card owner's answer was beyond his expectation.

"What, what?"

Didn't you agree to kill her?Why are you suddenly talking about genealogy at this time?

"That is the cousin that my beloved son values ​​very much. Compared with you, she is of course more important to me."

He suddenly turned sideways to reveal the black-haired boy who was blocked by him earlier.

"Do you think so?" The man raised his eyebrows and called out the boy's name.

"Cain."
