Chapter 280： City Garden Theater

Chapter 280 City Garden Theater

Everyone settled down in the winery.

Looking at the empty winery covered with dust and fallen leaves, Chen Lun immediately asked Connie to go to the relevant intermediary to hire dozens of servants to clean and organize the estate.

Because it was inconvenient to bring too many people by his side when he left Amber City, the elite killers in the circus were dismissed by Chen Lun himself. A considerable part of the other members of the Murder Club had their own superpowers and belonged to the Mutual Aid Society, so they accepted them.

It can be regarded as sending a favor.

"Golof, Barton, and Morey, the three of you go out to find information about Peacock City, and try to keep a low profile... In addition, I need to know who is the most powerful noble in the area, as well as information about the opera house industry. "

Chen Lun gave instructions to the three of them.

"Yes, Mr. Captain."

The three of Golov touched their chests respectfully and saluted, then turned around and strode away.

Chen Lun stroked his chin and began to meditate.

‘Now that the foothold has been resolved, the top priority is to collect enough information to plan the next step. '

He was thinking about things while looking at this new home.

In order to commemorate the former manor, Chen Lun still named the winery "Jack".

The main villa of New Jack Manor is quite large. Although it is also a four-story structure, it is much more spacious than the previous villa. The inside can be roughly divided into three areas, including the work area for storing books and collections, the rest and entertainment area, and the living area.

Most of the original furniture and worthless collections have not been moved away, and most of the books have also been left behind.

This was an unexpected surprise for Chen Lun.

Another savings.

And among these books, there may be some mysterious books that can be picked up.

Floy went to the back kitchen area and cleaned it up herself, while Noah and Maggie went upstairs to choose their own rooms, studios and laboratories.

Everyone is busy with work, only Chen Lun, the head of the regiment, inspects his territory like an idle nobleman.

Two days passed quietly.

The manor has taken on a new look, and everyone has begun to adapt to the new environment.

To celebrate the "housewarming", Floyd cooked a big meal for everyone.

Everyone had a very comfortable and happy meal. Perhaps as Floy said, when emotions are brought into cooking, the dishes made will also be contaminated with such emotions.

From this, it can be seen that Floyd is in a very good mood.

That night.

The three of Golov returned again, and this time, they seemed to have gained something.

Chen Lun's spacious and exquisite study room.

The old-fashioned incandescent lamps are hung on the wall, and the whole study presents a hazy feeling of yellow. At the same time, the atmosphere is somewhat secretive, like a secret meeting.

The three of them sat at the coffee table at the round table and reported the information they found to the head of the group one by one.

"The Peacock City is located on the east coast of the empire, and its geographical location is relatively remote. The local parliament is relatively weak and has no right to speak... This place is mainly taken over by three forces, one is the nobles headed by the 'Harrington' family, and the other is The first is a wealthy businessman headed by the 'Moses Voyage' company, and the third is the gang organization 'Blue Sails'."

Golov smoked a cigarette and told in detail.

Chen Lun nodded.

As a port city, it is not surprising that the shipping company is powerful, and the Blue Sail gang is also composed of dock workers. However, on the surface, they act as protectors of the crew, trackers and low-level practitioners, but in fact they are just another form of exploitation of their own people.

"Although the title inherited by the Harrington family is only a viscount and their history is not long, they are the most influential nobles in Peacock City."

Golov flicked the cigarette ash and said softly.

"Harrington..."

Chen Lun chewed on the name.

The reason why he wanted to inquire about the noble with the strongest voice was because one of the three opportunities in Peacock City seemed to be hidden in a certain noble family.

Chen Lun wants to use this "leader" to find opportunities for himself.

At this time, Barton continued on the sidelines:

"Mr. Head, regarding the extraordinary forces in Peacock City, the biggest ones are undoubtedly the official shelter, the Madman School, and the History and Ritual Association. Among them, the Madman School is the Church of True God, which is a way of magic. They are more keen on researching knowledge and don't like it. Too much meddling in mundane affairs, and the relationship between the Asylum and the History and Ritual Society is not very good..."

Chen Lun listened silently and took a sip of black tea.

This is a very standard supernatural system of checks and balances. The administrative region of Bangcheng is basically based on the official shelter, plus two Orthodox churches.

"Oh, by the way, it is worth mentioning that Omto College was founded with the support of the Madman School behind the scenes, so that it gradually developed into a college area centered on this university."

Barton added.

Chen Lun wrote down the news and sighed secretly.

It is because the memory of the previous life is too long, and I did not have a deep understanding of the city at that time, so now I need to rebuild a framework in my mind.

Fortunately, the clues about the three opportunities are fairly clear.

"Mr. Head, according to the information I found here, there are currently three largest opera houses in Peacock City, excluding those small family-style theaters and mobile stages...they are the 'Golden Rum' Grand Theater, the 'Tale Tar' Opera House and the 'City Garden' Grand Theater."

Mo Lei held a small notebook in his hand and said to Chen Lun.

He turned a page and added:

"Among the three major theaters, golden rum is the most powerful, popular and influential. The play "The Rose and the Gallows", which is currently performing all day long, is their latest signature. Both the playwright and the actors are top-notch .

Tal Tal ranks later, but the focus is more on pure operas and concerts. Most of the rich and powerful in the city will basically go there to watch.

City Garden is at the bottom. They don't have any outstanding features and advantages. Some time ago, the signature actor of the pillar was bought by a nobleman with a lot of money, and the rest are only some third-rate acrobatics, animal taming and lame magic performances, and their reputation is getting worse. "

Chen Lun pondered.

The three people in front of them looked at each other, as if they had already guessed what Mr. Leader was going to do.

The team leader told them before that when they came to Peacock City this time, the team members should focus on "advanced commissions", that is, commissions involving mysterious events sent by the messenger of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

Those clients are often powerful and powerful, but because they encounter extraordinary events in the mysterious field, and it is inconvenient for the shelter or the church to know, they have to turn to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce for help.

The Chamber of Commerce will screen these commissions, and then distribute them to the circus, and then the cadres will be responsible for solving them.

While earning high rewards, you can also complete mysterious accumulation by the way.

Because of the relationship between Chen Lun and Rosa, the status of the circus in the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce has risen, and they can naturally get the best treatment... This is an extremely rare "mission platform".

It is also an opportunity for members to "quickly upgrade".

But the circus lives in Peacock City, and it also needs a bright identity to cover it up. It's okay if the time is short, but it will easily attract unnecessary attention if it is long.

"Just this 'City Garden' theater, I will personally go to discuss with their boss, let the 'Jack Circus' settle in and become the theater's performance team..."

Chen Lun rubbed his chin and said.

When the three of Golov heard this, they thought to themselves that it was indeed so.

But their expressions are a little strange.

After all, although the name of the team is "Circus", no one knows how to perform. They are all extraordinary people, no matter whether they are fighting or solving incidents, they have no pressure, but they are somewhat unfamiliar with their "old business".

"Don't worry, it's just for show, not for you to really delve into this..."

Chen Lun laughed.

The three of Golov could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Lun looked at the antique wall clock on the wall again, and then said to the three:

"Okay, let's do this first... You have worked hard these two days, go back to your room and rest first."

"Yes, Mr. Captain."

Golov and others bowed respectfully and took leave.

Looking at the door being closed, Chen Lun also stood up and stretched himself.

"As the leader of the team, you have to do something..."

The next day.

Early in the morning, Chen Lun went out after eating the breakfast made by Floy himself.

He was well dressed, a new flat black top hat, a high-end black suit, a felt cape, and a new pair of leather shoes.

Golov is not yet familiar with the city, so Chen Lun plans to spend a little money today to save big things. When he came to the street outside the winery, he casually summoned a rental carriage.

Amidst the car driver's gracious good-day greetings, he got into the car with a silver cane on his arm.

It was still early to set off, but when the carriage arrived at the gate of the "City Garden" Grand Theater three blocks away, it was the busiest time of work.

Chen Lun stood at the entrance of the slightly deserted theater, looked at some old signs, and the interior walls that had not been taken care of for a long time, and probably knew that the operating conditions here were probably not good.

"Mr. Hey, are you here to see the show? There are 'Freaks', 'Beast Taming Sisters' and the most fascinating 'Kuwei Magic Show' on stage today!"

A thin, short man, wearing a cheap and oversized burgundy suit that didn't fit the size at all, approached Chen Lun to sell it.

His expression is very rich, trying to express how wonderful the theater is.

"You are a staff member of this theater?"

Chen Lun asked.

The little man hesitated for a moment.

"Hmm...cough, it's okay to put it this way, the hourly salary is ten copper kroes, and there is also a commission on tickets."

He shrugged and said something in a low voice.

"How about it, sir, why don't you go in and have a look? Although it looks deserted here, the performance will definitely not let you down."

Chen Lun directly took out two silver medals and waved them in front of the opponent.

"I didn't come to see the performance, you go find the person in charge, preferably the owner of this theater... the money is yours."

"Oh, of course no problem, generous sir."

The little man opened his eyes, revealing bright eyes.

He took the money, turned around excitedly, and rushed into the theater.

After a while.

A haggard young man came out, and beside him was a tall, thin man with a mustache.

"Hello sir, I am the owner of this theater, Hoyle Simon. What can I do?"

The young man was dressed very formally, a decent dark gray ironed suit and a red bow tie. It's just the deep dark circles under his eyes that make him look less energetic.

"Mr. Hoyle, I heard that the pillar performers in your theater have been poached? Now tickets are getting harder to sell, and business is not very good."

Chen Lun showed a polite smile.

"I think I can help you."
