Angel on earth

Aaron was wearing a black sword-collar double-breasted suit. He was in a good mood and sat next to Mrs. de Perrin holding a hydrangea, watching the couple exchanging rings intently; on the other side of him were Sergio and Suo Fay Martin.

Madame de Perrin said in a voice only a doctor could hear:

"Father Morris..."

The doctor turned his face slightly, and moved his marble-like cold and stiff lips in the same low voice:

"This is your son's wedding, madam, don't mention the dead, it's unlucky."

Father Morris had been killed a month earlier.On that day, Mrs. de Perrin invited him to bless a new station built by the family.That night, the priest stayed at Perrin Manor, but was found dead at the entrance of Baihua Church by the night watchmen the next morning. He died in a miserable condition. Inscribed with obscenities; the medical examiner concluded he bled to death.The murderer was daring, knowing that the flash of the camera was very eye-catching at night, but still spent a lot of time to move equipment, took pictures of Morris' body, and sent anonymous letters to major newspapers before the church took any action.At noon on the second day, every household that had some spare money to order a newspaper got a newspaper with a nude bishop printed on the front page.

Batista and Marguerite kiss in the presence of the priest.Madame de Perrin didn't want to look any further, she moved her hips and turned her entire upper body:

"That kind of torture method is beyond the reach of ordinary people, even ordinary doctors!"

"Ma'am, don't talk nonsense." Aaron looked at his goddaughter gently, and nodded to her. "Maybe it's the manifestation of Father God, and Father Morris committed suicide because of his bad conscience."

As he said that, he seemed to be moved by the happiness of the couple, closed his eyes and drew a sun cross on his chest, and said softly, "Amen."

Madame de Perrin's chest heaved with anger, and her face grew paler.The doctor sighed, and suddenly changed his rogue face again, and said sympathetically:

"Ma'am, I think your corset is too tight. Do you want to go to the bathroom to relax? Well, it has been said for hundreds of years that one-piece corsets and corsets are not good for the body. The people of Aerys are too old." No respect for women!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, bowed politely to Mrs. de Perrin, and stretched out his right hand wearing a silk glove—the Priest Valentine had just invited the parents of both parties to come forward and share this happy moment with the new people. Lun is about the same age as the groom, but he is the godfather of the dead bride.

The old lady opened his hand, and Aaron was not annoyed, and took a step behind holding the hydrangea.Madame de Perrin looked away in surprise, but Aaron and Marguerite kissed each other's cheeks and shook hands with Batista.

Madame de Perrin said suddenly:

"Margaret, why don't you dare look at me?"

"Maybe she's too nervous, ma'am." Aaron turned to block half of Margaret, and smiled softly and apologetically, "It's rare to see such an enlightened mother as you, I hope you don't mind. Rita is Thank you very much, don't you, Rita?"

Madame de Perrin gasped for breath a few times, and couldn't bear it any longer, and walked away with a cold snort.

Aaron pushed his glasses, and explained to Batista kindly: "Mrs. de Perrin has suffered from a nervous breakdown recently, please trouble the young master to send someone to fetch some medicine later, and be careful not to leave the corset and corset in the future. Too tight. You know, those goddamn construction crews..."

Everyone nodded in understanding, and chattered about the progress of the renovation of the fountain area; some people praised Mrs. de Perrin for being ill and persisted in finishing the wedding ceremony so solemnly, but it turned out to be Sophie Martin.The woman held her husband's hand and toasted the doctor with a distant smile.

After being cautious in the first year, Aaron has become like a fish in water in Yaranburg, all because of this pair of glasses.The mining and forging of Mithril are all in the hands of Lieyang City, but they have never eaten pork and have seen pigs running. Anyone with a little wink can recognize how much Mithril is used in the doctor's glasses, and the fineness of the chain. It can't help but make people have even more terrible conjectures; if they have more knowledge, such as the old lady de Perrin, they can even recognize that the two crystals are some special product of the Kingdom of Eden.

Today, Aaron Edwards is not only a well-known doctor in Yaranburg, but also the chairman of the local health and epidemic prevention committee. There are even rumors that this foreigner will participate in this year's autumn election and point his sword at the three vacant members of Yaranburg. seats.In addition, he is also an honorary member of the Women's Health and Care Association, and is committed to abolishing the girdle. The most famous argument is that three women in the Twelve Saints do not girdle, which shows that the girdle is against the will of the sun god.

His last post brought a lot of opposition to his parliamentary journey, and many people thanked him, and even more people thought that this young doctor was a grandstanding bum: female saints are of course different from women, is it because Are niggers equal to free folk for Matthew's sake?And a few days ago there was news that Matthew died, and many people celebrated at home.

But no matter what, everyone maintained a superficial friendship with Dr. Edwards, and people frequently toasted him at the wedding of Perrin's family.

The next step up from the wedding is the coast.This is the project that Master De Perrin asked to join: he has no father, and his relationship with relatives is not good. We will manage the business together in the future.As a seaport city, the most valuable property of Perrin's family in Fort Yaran, apart from banks and various securities, is the factories lined up along the coast.

Master Battista de Perrin is a handsome young man with brown hair and blue eyes. He looks to be about the same age as Dr. Edwards, and also graduated from the medical school in the capital of Iris; he has broad shoulders, thin waist, deep features, and a head of curly hair Tie at the nape of the neck with a sapphire blue ribbon.The black-haired bride wore a wreath and white gauze, held his hand, and stepped on the red carpet onto the petal-covered carriage. The guests also followed in their own carriages and rushed to the next carnival.

The wedding venue by the sea is in a five-storey black spire building. The building is located at the end of the black cliff that protrudes deep into the moon sea in Fengzuo Bay. The black cliff is like a twisted arm embracing all kinds of ships in the bay.

The golden signboard of "Rhine Perrin Steamship Company" in large capitals is shining in the sun. There are floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire surface, and huge cross windows are also embedded on the other three walls under the premise of ensuring the stability of the structure.Master de Perrin showed his property list to the guests, smiled and asked the bride to sign the various contracts and title deed holders, and the other party of each contract was present to witness.

Aaron was too lazy to pay attention to the young master's tricks, so he ordered the waiter to make himself a pot of herbal tea, and stood by the window looking at the ocean.The vicinity of the shipping company building was unexpectedly quiet, only the turbulent black tide and white waves continued to break under the cliff.

The port of Yaranburg is much more prosperous than Kaiser and Glorious Port. The docks are crowded with ships of different sizes, including old-fashioned sailing ships, flagships, and the latest steam-powered behemoths. The densely packed small fishing boats are like krill surrounded by whales. There was a lot of noise from sirens and factories running, but only Aaron could hear it here.A little farther away, on one side is the endless, calm salt pan, dotted with people like black spots on the sun; on the side near the pier, several dried pirate corpses are hung on the black reef forming an arched cave out of the water.Aaron was especially thankful that he had bad eyesight, and he knew that the fresher one was swelling with maggots.

There are many kinds of bow images, and the flying flags are also colorful.Except for the colorful flags used for signaling and the red moon flags of the Red Moon Empire with a black background on many ships, the most common ones are the three cheetah flags of the Aiden Kingdom, the leopard with four bird wings and Abaddon The flag was similar, the latter's eagle-winged lion standing alone on a rugged black ship.There are not many red and white rose flags in Noren, but they are very conspicuous. Behind the rose is a shield, and the sword of oath stands upright in it, nailed to the golden ribbon with the full name of the Norren Empire printed at the bottom. The main part of the ribbon is like a bow; The number of dragon-slaying banners of the Gefried Federation is similar to that of Noren.There are also quite a few narcissus flags on the blue background of the Kingdom of Iris. The blue is deep and elegant. There is a ring of red hexagrams around the white narcissus, with one missing on the left and right, symbolizing the division of White, Rhine and Bronzini after the Second Jihad. The principality and the royal power violated by the church; on the lighthouse not far away, the sun cross is shining brightly, and the blue cross flag of the Principality of the Rhine is flying in the wind. In the center of the cross is a hollowed-out six-pointed star.

The first to fall was a worker unloading cargo at the dock.

Aaron put down his teacup solemnly, and took a step forward, his forehead almost touching the window glass.The second man fell from the boat into the water, his cheeks flushed with heat, and he was still shaking as he fell; there was some commotion in the crowd, and the foreman passed by waving his whip, spit and stars splashed, and there was a small blister on his lips. It is common to get angry.After a while, a third person appeared. Two guards dragged a filthy black man out of the corner of the public toilet on the sea and piled it on a cart, and then a manure picker dumped the body into the sea.

The doctor put on his hat, picked up the medicine box, brushed away the guests who cried out from time to time, and hurried downstairs.

The plague that comes every few years officially broke out on a large scale on this day, and this time it was particularly serious.Yaranburg is located at the southern tip of Canaan, but this continent itself is close to the Arctic Ocean, so the summer is hot but not extremely hot.The protagonists are cholera and malaria. Poor sanitation and polluted domestic water are the main culprits.

Workers and slaves working in the dirty and damp docks were the main victims, as were many of the city's residents.The mild ones were just occasional diarrhea, and the severe ones quickly fell into a state of dehydration. Even a few clergymen were unfortunately infected, and had to hold their noses and receive injections from Dr. Edwards to relieve cramps and muscle weakness.
