"Mr. Lu, people like you will definitely not stay somewhere forever. When do you plan to have another adventure?"
"Although the explorer's blood is still boiling, a man, in addition to satisfying his desire for exploration and gaining an illusory reputation, should also enrich himself. I am going to study in the New World on the other side of the ocean."
"Study!" The landlady looked very excited and asked curiously: "Can you tell me which school it is?"
"Miskatonic, of course."
"Oh, it turns out to be this university. It used to have a branch in our country and was very famous. Later, because of its continuous expansion, it chose to relocate to the New World."
Looking at Lu Li with a smile on his face, the landlady's eyes were full of admiration and she said half-jokingly:
"If my granddaughter were here, I would definitely arrange for you to meet."
"……"Land from.
"..." Yang Kai.
Other tenants: “…”
Thanks to the hospitality of this kind lady, everyone had a sumptuous dinner, and the money spent on the meal could cover three months' rent of a large suite.
As Yang Kai said, the landlady chose to rent out the apartment solely for the fun of it, and would reduce or reduce the rent from time to time and default on arrears.
As for where her children are?
Wandering around.
Everyone in the dozens of surrounding streets knew that there lived an old woman who lived a prosperous life. She gave birth to a group of children who wandered around and worked hard for the empire in a foreign land.
…
"This apartment seems to hold a lot of secrets."
"dangerous?"
"uncertain."
In the dark attic on the top floor, Lu Li picked up his suitcase and walking stick and prepared to move to the suite downstairs.
There is a living room, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a spacious balcony.
This made Yang Kai, who had been living in a doghouse since his time traveling through Yinshi, envious. But now he couldn't care about anything else and began to ask where the secret came from.
"That... little brat with the card tattoo on his hand?"
Lu Li found a suitable adjective and added:
"He is on the road to transcendence and may soon complete his transformation."
extraordinary?
gangster?
This field is too easy to enter.
Yang Kai felt that after going through a lot of hardships and traveling through time, he had a chance to touch this mysterious area. He didn't expect that the little bastard who ate women and wandered around the streets could do the same.
With this complicated mentality, he watched Lu Li move out, then started to pack his luggage and escape from this den full of insect corpses.
From the beginning to the end, neither of them thought about in-depth investigation. After all, in a few days, they would buy tickets to cross the sea and go to the University of Michigan to study together——
Lu Li had to add another reason. He simply looked down on low-level gangsters. Even if he came into contact with extraordinary little bastards, he still couldn't get on the stage.
The next day, early morning.
Old district.
The first people to take to the streets were the dust sweepers.
"Sweep dust!"
"Sweep dust!"
Long-drawn shouts came and went.
Then, the ash collector rang the bell and came to collect all the ashes swept out of the fireplace.
For middle-class families, cleaning once a quarter is best, but poor people can also clean their chimneys once a year to avoid chimney fires.
Because there are more than a dozen families and nearly forty people living in the seventh-floor apartment, the landlady chose to call for these two services.
However, the noise was too loud and woke Yang Kai up from his sleep. When he could no longer sleep, he decided to send the manuscript to the publisher.
No matter what, this story must be published in newspapers as soon as possible so that more people can see it.
In this way, previous guesses can be verified.
Lu Li didn't have the habit of staying in bed, nor was he willing to be a personal nanny. Hearing Yang Kai say that he was going to find the newspaper publisher, he just nodded and reminded him to come back early, and said nothing more.
"well."
He used to not believe in his senior's abilities and was on tenterhooks, but now he found out that it was his real thigh, but the other party wouldn't let him hold her. You can imagine the depression in Yang Kai's heart.
It's close to noon.
This house located in the deepest part of the alley welcomed a special guest. The landlady, who was sitting in the foyer doing needlework, heard a knock on the door and raised her eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
Yesterday's dinner had only one purpose, to remind tenants to reduce their activities to avoid bringing in the Plague of Pluto.
Because of this, only four people have been in and out of the apartment since this morning.
Dust sweepers and dust collectors.
Miss Meacham's street boyfriend.
Mr. Yang Kai who went out to submit articles.
The former promises not to come back in the short term, so...
When the door was opened, the old lady took two steps back due to the pressure brought by a tall figure. The visitor stood in the shadows, fully armed, and his face could not be seen clearly. It was extremely mysterious.
But after she saw clearly the exaggerated outfit of the visitor, she immediately gave up her fear.
"Ma'am, can you let me in?"
"What do you do for a living?"
The landlady stepped aside, wondering why the Knights would come to a place like this.
"Find a gentleman from whom we need the necessary assistance."
"What is your name?"
"I don't know, but it looks like this."
The visitor was quickly brought to Lu Li.
After a while, a note was left on the desk. Lu Li, leaning on his sword crutch, accompanied the knight out of the apartment.
Unfortunately, the Plague of Pluto is spreading.
As the discoverer of the first death case, an extraordinary person, and an enthusiastic citizen who had actively cooperated with the medical examiner to complete the autopsy, the Knights invited him to serve as a consultant to accompany the investigation.
After reading the book all morning, Lu Li found that he was not suitable for studying the Bible. He just memorized the full text to understand the specific meaning so that he could use it accurately according to the relevant situation.
Why not find something interesting to do for now.
It is worth mentioning that the power of Holy Light has not been weakened in this world and can be used normally.
“What beliefs do you have here?”
Lu Li asked.
The knight who was responsible for leading the way didn't say much. He asked him if he was a foreigner. Instead, he answered seriously: "Goddess of the Sun, Goddess of the Night, Mother Earth, God of War, Goddess of Wisdom, God of Steam and Machinery."
"These are the six orthodox gods who can spread their faith freely in the capital without any restrictions."
"Other regions have different situations. "
Can't a country even have unified beliefs?
A bit like the ancient Greek city-state era.
In addition, four of the six orthodox gods in this city are clearly female, but according to Lu Li's observation, the status of women is not high, similar to that of the Mist City in the Victorian era.
Then again, couldn't Queen Victoria be able to change that situation?
The Knights' station in the slums is a small castle. Because it is located in a remote area, it looks extremely desolate. There are not many people stationed there. Judging from the number of horses -
Two hundred people.
Because when passing by the stables, Lu Li saw that there were about 400 war horses kept here. To form a fighting force and avoid the situation of animal strength, one person and two horses were the basis.
"Mr. Lu, the leader has been unable to perform his duties due to illness recently. All matters are handled by the knight commander."
"I'll take you to see him."
