Chapter 89: A Raging Fire
Hopelander, headquarters of the Nissos Chamber of Commerce.
On weekdays, the gate of the courtyard, which is constantly coming and going, is now full of protesters. Most of them are employees of wineries and other workshops, and their daily life is extremely difficult.
Generally speaking, after the chamber of commerce becomes bigger, for the sake of reputation and long-term consideration, the treatment will be much higher than that of the small chamber of commerce, and the reputation will be better.
But the Nissos family is different. Not only did the pay not rise, but the working hours were longer, and there was basically no time for holidays.
Especially since Finerton started to take over family affairs, he has recently developed a new wine, which has attracted many new employees. If they are just a little tired from work, these people are not unacceptable, where is it not?
However, recently, after working in the new winery for a period of time, some people gradually deteriorated physically and even went crazy. At first, everyone thought that those people were not healthy, but as more and more people had accidents, everyone began to suspect that this new wine was poisonous. The guy caught the warning and suppressed it for a while.
But in the end, the paper could not keep the fire, and the incident was exposed on this day. Many employees began to claim and protest, but the Chamber of Commerce turned a deaf ear and sent thugs to disperse the crowd.
It was all until recently, when a young man named Grete organized everyone, united with the employees of more than a dozen workshops, and went on strike to protest. Now the Nissos family can't stand it.
In the face of the scene of the collective protest of hundreds of people. The Nissos family also has some hurdles. It's not that they can't beat them, but that it will greatly damage their reputation in the business alliance. It will also violate many laws and regulations on the surface, which is difficult to hide.
"Lord Felton, it's not good. After the Aroni Chamber of Commerce heard that there was a problem with our new wine, it has refused to continue to buy it. Not only that, other companies have also begun to return it."
Snapped-
Cups and tea sets were swept to the ground, making shattering sounds.
"Didn't the alchemist say there is no problem before?" Felton shouted angrily.
"What about his people?"
"My lord, that alchemist said a month ago that he was going to find new materials, and then left for a few days to purchase..."
"Then what?" Felton glared angrily.
"Then...never saw him again," the servant below replied tremblingly.
"Idiot!" Felton kicked over.
At the front end, Finerton introduced a new wine at the banquet. He called it 'Suma', which means the legendary wine. After drinking this wine, you will have a slight hallucination, and you can see the beautiful scene in the dream. The Nissos family said that this wine is completely non-toxic and not addictive, so it has been launched and immediately loved by some high-class people.
It is not only a kind of wine, but a kind of enjoyment. If it weren't for the exposure of the winery this time, the Nissos family could make several times the profits of previous years with this.
But things didn't work out, the secret of the new wine was exposed, and orders from each family were no longer sent, and they began to ask for returns. Not only that, the orders for other wines of the Nissos family were also greatly affected, and all kinds of orders began to change. few.

Since the victory in the northern battlefield, the war in the West Wind Kingdom has entered a stage of raging fire.
"put!"
With the order of the uprising officer, the throwing baskets of a dozen tall trebuchets rolled into boulders taller than people.
The dull and sour sound came out. Under the action of lever mechanics, the gear and the wooden frame slowly turned, accelerating the boulders, and then threw them high, whistling through arcs in the air. Smashed on the city wall, the stone chips splashed, like the wrath of the gods.
Archers in red and blue burqas stand on the brick-and-stone city wall, constantly throwing rain of arrows from the city wall more than 20 meters high.
Beneath the city walls were the rebels wearing black burqas, and countless banners of gold stars on a blue background fluttered on the ground.
boom--
With a loud noise, a lot of dust was shaken off the heavy Atsugi city gate, and some steel rivets began to loosen.
Outside the city gate, the battering rams made by the five people and the thick logs they were holding were lifted by a group of strong men.
Although there were shields next to him, the falling rocks and bows and arrows on the city wall still fell mercilessly. But when one person falls, another person will immediately step forward and continue to carry it up.
The desolate horns kept blowing, and batches of warriors sang ancient battle songs and went head-on.
...
Songs of mourning have been passed on for thousands of miles. Running in the wilderness is the insurgent army waving flags of stars and wheat ears. The blue-backed and gold-patterned flags roar in the wind. Faces covered in wind and frost are galloping on the mountains and fields, just to save the world. The spark of hope spread to more places.
They do not expect the revolution to be achieved in their own hands, but this does not mean that their actions are meaningless, but at least they want to tell those who are as oppressed as they are, in this sinking and dark world, There are still torches of hope that burn violently, banishing darkness and indifference and bringing forth a bright and warm dream.
It is a world of equality and dignity, a world that can break the shackles of oppression, a real and beautiful world.
"There has never been any noble blood, why are they born aloof!"
Clerical officers wearing star badges stood on a high place and shouted loudly.
Every people read the lofty dream, it is the world that countless people yearn for, it is a world full of flowers.
"The world is not all sunshine and rainbows."
"It's a place full of vile filth."
"It doesn't matter how innocent you are."
"It will still beat you down brutally."
"And let you never stand up as long as you don't resist."
"If you know your worth."
"Then try to fight for your own worth."
"Instead of accusing others of saying that you can't be who you want to be."
"Blindly complaining and not changing, that is the behavior of cowards."
"But, you're not a coward!" they roared.
"You are better than cowards!"
The audience under the stage was shocked. Most of them were the poor at the bottom and working farmers. The long-term life has made them cold and numb, like stubborn stones in the field, their hearts are cold and dull.
But today, these stubborn stones were struck with sparks, an impulse that had been suppressed for a long time finally began to emerge from the bottom of my heart, and the blood gradually boiled.
"Crancia. Hooray!"
At first there were only one or two, then three or four, then more and more people joined in, and finally a surging and unanimous voice sounded under the sky.
