"Dear Louise, you are as generous and kind as the Virgin Mary, and you have brought us the gospel of wealth."
Gao Fei held her hand, his eyes full of affection.
"Roger, my most caring friend, can help you, you can't imagine how happy I am!"
Jiang Feng also looked affectionate.
"Hey! You two, don't think I'm air!" Martin, who had his mouth full of dog food, couldn't help complaining, "When you fall in love, can you think more about your bachelor friends? At least
Don't show affection in front of poor old Martin, God, that's too cruel!"
"Woof woof!"
The hound growled beside it, seeming to agree with the owner's protest. Even it couldn't stand this overly sweet "dog food".
"Miss Quinn, you are a well-known rich woman in the city. You have endless money at home, why do you need a commission? A mere 500 gold duga is not enough for you to buy a set of jewelry!"
Martin asked angrily.
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there was a slight flaw in his acting skills.
The heroine she played, indeed, as Martin said, inherited a large inheritance from her parents and grandmother, and logically she would not disdain to split the commission equally with two poor friends.
However, in real life, she is not a rich lady. She does not have strong financial resources to squander at will. Her personality is also the type of person who knows how to spend her life carefully.
Perhaps because this chapter of the game has just started, she has not yet fully entered the character, and she still habitually acts according to her calculating style, which inadvertently leads to a separation between the character's behavior and her personality.
After a brief silence, Jiang Feng smiled slightly and asked confidently: "Mr. Page, do you think what I care about is the remuneration? No, I am enjoying the wonderful feeling of exchanging my own labor for harvest. To be honest, sometimes I am very
I envy you and Martin."
"Both of us are from poor backgrounds, and we have had one meal before another, so there is nothing to envy about that!"
Martin shrugged and spread his hands, his expression disapproving.
"What I envy is that you two came from a poor background and earned a living with your own hands."
Jiang Feng sighed, with a melancholy look on his face.
"I have never worried about money since I was a child. It seems that there is nothing worth pursuing. Anyway, I can buy whatever I want."
"Two gentlemen, your work makes you glorious, but a rich girl like me who relies on family property and annuity has never understood what it means to be self-reliant. Sometimes I feel like a blood-sucking leech parasitic on the poor... Alas,
You will not understand this kind of depression and guilt."
"So sometimes I want to break through the class gap and try to make a living on my own. Of course, I'm not talking about stealing ill-gotten gains. After all, that's not legitimate labor income."
"What I care about is not the mere 500 gold du plus commission, but to prove that I am an honorable worker and not a 'rentier' who has been criticized by progressives."
After hearing her "heartfelt voice", Martin scratched his head with complicated emotions.
"Ms. Quinn, I don't think it's something to be proud of if you are self-reliant. It's honorable to have food without working!"
"Honestly, you feel guilty because you are so kind and compassionate. If I were in your position, I wouldn't care what bullshit progressives say!"
"Whoever dares to chirp in front of me and accuse me of being a 'rentier' who does nothing to produce and just enjoys his gains, I will slap him in the face with money!"
"The situation is getting smaller, my friend."
Gao Fei smiled and patted Martin on the shoulder while chatting privately with his girlfriend in the astrolabe.
Gu Hao
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, that performance just now was very good!"
No wonder people often say, "Women are all born actors."
Three people and one dog took a carriage to the Gordon family's mansion.
Mrs. Gordon had not yet recovered from the fright she had received in the morning, so she steeled herself to receive the three visitors and showed them around her home.
Highlights of the visit include the staircase where mysterious laughter came from, the kitchen where knives and food frequently disappeared, and the garden where four hounds were killed.
The "landlord" stopped under the flowers with blood stains still on them and sniffed them.
Gao Fei and Martin exchanged glances, and both stopped, patiently waiting for the hounds to identify the remaining scent of the scene.
"The landlord seems to have found suspicious traces." Gao Fei whispered to Jiang Feng, "I hope the sensitive nose of the hound can help us find clues for tracing."
"If I can really smell something, it will at least prove that my hunch is right. The mastermind behind these weird events is definitely not the incorporeal soul." Jiang Feng replied thoughtfully.
Incorporeal undead creatures such as ghosts leave neither tracks nor scent for hounds to track.
As soon as he walked into the door of Gordon's house, Jiang Feng used his professional ability and highly developed perception to search for negative energy aura.
So far, she has not noticed the accumulation of negative energy, so the possibility of the undead causing trouble is very low.
Jiang Feng noticed a mysterious evil spirit lingering in the Gordon family's mansion, which may be the source of many strange things.
While the hounds were still sniffing among the flowers, Jiang Feng turned around and chatted with Mrs. Gordon, making insidious remarks along the way.
"Madam, you and your husband are both believers in the state religion, right?"
"Miss Quinn, our whole family is a devout believer in the Holy Light Church and we never miss a single service."
Mrs. Gordon replied solemnly.
Jiang Feng observed her expression and saw no sign of lying.
"Not even one of your servants is a pagan?"
"Of course!" Mrs. Gordon hesitated and explained with a complicated expression: "You also know that our Binhai City's status is very embarrassing. There are Far Eastern troops stationed at the canal customs and naval bases. There are often Far Eastern soldiers and military families in the city. , I have no prejudice against Far Easterners, but I think it is inappropriate to allow them to preach in the city!"
Mrs. Gordon became more and more excited as she talked.
"Miss Quinn, you are a nun of the Holy Light Church and a priest of the Sun God. People from the Far East brought the belief in the Goddess of Destiny to Coastal City. The 'Sindra Church' became very popular, not only among the small citizens, but also among the nobles and officials. There are many people who have converted, aren’t you worried that if this continues, there will be trouble?”
Jiang Feng first quietly used the astrolabe to check the religious situation in Binhai City, and then answered seriously:
"Madam, aside from my priesthood status, I have always upheld a tolerant and open-minded attitude towards my faith."
"Ms. Destiny's church is a legal belief publicly recognized by the imperial government and the Holy See. Even if we feel uncomfortable, we cannot use coercive means to prevent others from converting."
Sighing, she pretended to confide, and then said to Mrs. Gordon:
“When a country is defeated on the battlefield and even its customs and military bases are forced to lease to the victorious country for 99 years, it is difficult to prevent missionaries from the victorious country from entering the country. There is no way. We can only accept it.
