The candidate

Behind a Iron-Black street light pole twenty meters away from Mr. Eve, Lumian leaned sideways there, using the cover of the passing crowd, held down Flat Cap, and watched the target pick up the Gold Coin and put it in his pocket.

Until then, he breathed a sigh of relief, put one hand in his pocket, and walked in the direction of 126 Market Avenue, no longer paying attention to Mr. Eve, who was suspected of being a fake.

This is because "Fortune Transfer" has been officially triggered and cannot be interrupted.

But this requires a process to show the effect, which can take at least half a day or as long as one day. The fake Mr. Eve will haunt Bad Luck, and the situation will occur frequently. When the time comes, if Lumian does a little something, he will have a high probability of exposing his abnormality to Official Beyonder.

After walking for a while, I considered that 126 Market Avenue is the residence of "Black Scorpion" Roger, which is actually the headquarters of Stinger Gang, Lumian didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered. He just asked for a booth by the window at Café, which was diagonally opposite and about ten meters away, and ordered a cup of Fellmer Coffee and a cream donut.

While waiting for the food to be delivered, he looked around, not only at the pedestrians coming and going on Market Avenue outside, but also at the promotional posters posted on the walls around Café.

The latter is mainly Parliamentary Election, which will officially start this Sunday.

There are three Candidate, Mathieu Boulanger of National Party, Hugues Artois of Liberal Party and Jacques Sanson of Reform Party.

While Lumian paid attention to everyone trying to get close to 126 Market Avenue, he read with interest the opinions of different Candidate:

Matthew Boulanger is Honest Market District and now Member of Parliament. His slogan is "Let Intis be glorious again." He believes that the defeat in the war with Kingdom of Loen a few years ago is the cause of many current problems. The root cause is that we must reorganize Intis's army, emphasize Intis's priority, and get back those interests lost in the Southern Continent, so as to feed back the country, boost the economy, and change the face of Market District.

He believes that in the process of "making Intis glorious again", people in Market District will get more jobs and more opportunities, including but not limited to making money in the Southern Continent, joining the army, and benefiting from foreign trade, etc.

Hugues Artois is a very popular candidate recently. His slogan is "more jobs, a fairer society." He claims to vigorously develop the economy, build more factories in the southern part of the market area, and abolish many restrictions on factory owners, bankers, financiers, and traders. However, relatively speaking, he intends to shake the privileges of the church and the wealthy class and levy more taxes on them.

Reform Party's Jacques Sanson is partly similar to Hugues Artois in that they both believe that there should be no privileges in the current society. Regardless of whether you belong to Church's industry or your income comes from finance, you must pay the same taxes as everyone else.

He also radically claimed that the current tariff policy has hindered the development of Intis, especially the circle of City Wall and the 54 checkpoints that surround Trier, and should be torn down. As long as goods circulate and the market becomes free, there will be more Factory, and tax revenue will increase significantly. Coupled with the tax on the privileged class, the national treasury will be quickly replenished after a short period of distress.

At that time, he will try to establish an annuity security system as Emperor Roselle once conceived, so that Market District workers can obtain the most basic protection.

So, his slogan is "Tear down those damn walls!"

After Lumian basically read it, he felt that if he were asked to choose, he would vote for Jacques Sanson.

Regardless of whether this person has the ability to realize his proposition, for the people of Market District, cheaper wine and goods, and more security are benefits that they can truly feel.

As for taxing the privileged class, they don't care too much, they just hope not to take one more Kopek from them.

But Jacques Sansone was obviously treated differently. His promotional posters were posted in the corners where they are least visible. This is also related to the fact that Reform Party has always been in the minority in Parliament.

Because Stinger Gang supports Liberal Party's Hugues Artois, Lumian paid the most attention to Candidate. He not only read his campaign platform, but also carefully examined his color photos.

This is a man in his thirties, with fluffy and thick black hair, but his temples are already a bit gray. He has a high nose bridge and a large nose, deep blue eyes, is tall, wears formal clothes, and has an elegant temperament.

"We can't let this guy be selected... unless we completely cripple Stinger Gang before he is selected, but behind Stinger Gang there is That One the mysterious 'Lady Moon', die a 'Black Scorpion', you can Regeneration a 'Red Scorpion'... Well, the election will officially start this Sunday, Police Headquarters, the gendarmerie and Official Beyonder should be mobilized to closely monitor each constituency. It is not that easy to cause trouble... Let Savoie Gang's coolies, porters, Waiter play some role?" Lumian thought about how to let Mathieu Boulanger and Jacques Sanson win the Parliament seat.

According to the law of Intis, people who have lived in a constituency for half a year and have a job or are studying at university have the right to register and vote in that constituency, but Lumian has not been in Trier for more than a month.

While thinking, he did not forget to look out the window, looking for Louis Lund.

After a long time, seeing the golden Sun rising to the middle of the sky, Lumian felt that waiting was not an option:

This is because he has a problem with his identity. He is the subject of Stinger Gang's close attention. He cannot squat directly opposite the house "Black Scorpion" Roger and hide in a building there. In this way, the viewing angle will be limited and it is easy for omissions to occur.

Second, as the leader of Savoie Gang, he has a lot of things to do, and he also needs to rest. It is impossible for him to stay on duty 24 hours a day for two consecutive days.

As his thoughts turned, Lumian had an idea:

"I have so many Subordinate, and even paid for Anthony·Reid, why do I have to do it myself?"

He stood up, left Café, and walked towards Breeze Ballroom.

When he reached the middle of Market Avenue, Lumian saw a lot of people gathered around the roadside. On the outside was a circle of Police wearing black uniforms. Next to them, there were two rows of mounted policemen sitting on horses watching the passing pedestrians.

Surrounded by two to three hundred people was a makeshift Wooden Stage. On the stage stood a man wearing a black formal suit but without a tie.

A huge poster with his photo was hung on the outer wall of the house behind him, and a loud voice echoed in the street:

"We need jobs, we need more income...

"I will build more Factory in the Rue Saint-Ger generation...

"I, Promise, give Factory tax benefits..."

Oh, isn't this Yuge Mr. Artois? Lumian is much taller than the average Intis, so you can clearly see the appearance of That One Speaker on Wooden Stage.

That is the elegant, graceful, black-haired and blue-eyed Hugues Artois, Candidate supported by Stinger Gang!

Lumian stopped and listened for dozens of seconds, his eyes instinctively looking behind Yuge Artois and the upper floors of the building opposite, looking at the windows and roofs there.

Unsurprisingly, he found traces of Police or people who clearly did not look like the owners of the house in those places.

The protection was quite tight... I couldn't hit Hugues Artois' head and chest with a rifle at those positions... Lumian looked away with a little regret.

There is another way for Hugues Artois to fail in the election, and that is to prevent him from participating in the election.

And dead people are automatically disqualified from running!

Lumian seriously considered the feasibility of this method when Café, but thought it would cause too much trouble, and the entire Market District and Gang would probably be pulled out | and used as scapegoats Lamb, he himself is also in this category. At that time, there is a high probability that his identity will be exposed and he will be forced to flee Market District or even Trier, losing the opportunity to trace Madame Pualis and Parish Priest.

From the current point of view, it is very difficult to assassinate Candidate. Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, you may not be able to escape.

Lumian turned his attention to the few people standing behind Wooden Stage. They should all be members of Hugues Artois's campaign team, three men and two women.

Among them is Women, who has red hair with legendary noble blood, heroic facial features, and a face that is not soft enough, but overall, she is a slightly androgynous beauty.

She is tall, dressed in white and brown Hunting Attire, and is surrounded by four other people.

Afraid of missing Louis·Lund's Lumian, I stopped listening to Hugues Artois's speech and withdrew from the crowd of onlookers and walked back to Breeze Ballroom.

At noon, there were not many customers here. Waiter and Bartender were resting and tidying up.

Lumian said to the approaching Louis and Sakota: "Pick four people to guard around 126 Market Avenue."

"No. 126..." Louis first repeated, and then blurted out in shock, "Isn't that the home of 'Black Scorpion' Roger?"

Boss wants to do Stinger Gang again?

Lumian nodded calmly:

"Yes, don't get close, don't be discovered, just stay in different directions and observe whether he is among the people passing by."

Lumian raised his hand and pointed to the wanted posters posted on the wall by the Polices, and pointed to Louis Lund on the edge.

--The wanted poster belonging to him was quietly moved to a less conspicuous place after he joined Savoie Gang.

Louis and Sakota turned around and looked at the wanted poster carefully, and saw "Cordou Village" and Vocabulary.

They vaguely understood something and immediately agreed:

"Yes, Boss."

After the four Gang Thug left Breeze Ballroom with a wanted notice, Lumian said to Louis and Sakota: "You guys have been helping to maintain order on the first floor these days Dance Hall."

After giving the instructions, he said casually, "I just listened to Hugues Artois's speech. It was not bad. Well... Who do we Savoie Gang support to be Market District's Member of Parliament?"

Louis glanced around and said in a lowered voice, "Baron said before, vote for Mr. Artois."
