"Hello, Mr. Annan, this is your key. I hope you have a pleasant stay in Eskadam (city name)."
"Thanks."
Lu Ping'an took the room key and handed over a tip of 1 silver coin (approximately 0.031 bucks), which made the waiter opposite burst into laughter.
With the help of the other party and holding his "wife" with one hand, Lu Ping'an got out of the carriage with annoying high heels. What faced him was a three-story wooden house.
Perhaps due to race, the buildings here are generally high, and the first floors are often unoccupied utility rooms.
This is a semi-natural building like a forest tree house. The twisting upward stairs are covered with vines and wooden fences, and the walls like an elf tree house are covered with white flowers on the vines.
Compared with the Western-style buildings on Earth, it is more slender and more "extravagant". At least three floors, each floor actually has more than three or four floors of an apartment building.
The beautiful tree house is located in a big city with a population of one million, and is surrounded by small single-family buildings of similar style. This is not just an exotic scenery. Lu Ping'an bought a house directly in a "rich area" this time.
"Both the pool and the elemental pool circulate throughout the day. If you need any additional services, you can call me directly using the 'communication bird'. I'm in the security tower at the end of the street..."
Maybe it was because Lu Pingan’s tip was enough, this “sales man” was extraordinarily enthusiastic and took the initiative to give Lu Pingan some local life advice.
Lu Pingan smiled and nodded, then declined his further suggestive promotion.
"boom!"
And when he closed the door, he felt a little more relaxed.
"Come out and check..."
The next moment, the staff came out of the courtyard. They needed to clean the house to see if there was a surveillance system. If everything went well, they would make some modifications to the house.
Digging a simple tunnel is a future plan, but strengthening the defense is also a necessity.
"How long does it take to have an underground altar?"
"Two days, if it's a blood sacrifice, it will be very fast..."
"...Okay, hurry up."
Don't get me wrong, Lu Pingan is not planning to engage in religion, but in a sense, this altar is the "radio station" for spies like them.
After entering this world, the distance from the "God's Boat" is obviously further. The previous simple "altar" is no longer easy to use, and a higher-end altar is needed.
Therefore, it is also necessary to buy a temporary residence... An underground escape passage may not be necessary, but enough underground space to arrange a large altar is necessary.
This is not only the decoration of the altar, but also auxiliary facilities such as "living sacrifice room", "isolation room", "spell expansion station (radio tower)" and so on.
When "Playboy" handed over a complete set of cult sacrifice rituals and facility manufacturing technology, Lu Ping'an, the law enforcer, really felt that it was subtle. It was probably like a mouse teaching a cat how to commit crimes.
But now, when he was laying it out by himself, it felt even more strange...
"...Is this what an inverted identity feels like?"
Before, Xia Qin and the others were arresting people when the road was safe. He didn't understand why those believers liked to arrange a bunch of things in their homes. The various basements were dirty and disgusting... This was not for
Evidence?
But now it seems that this is their necessity. Those evil gods may not have close enough contact with the earth. If they want to obtain more direct guidance or even "gifts", they need higher-power altars (radio stations).
"...I feel quite strange."
Miss Rou, the potion alchemist, is also helping with the planning and layout, and now she is also a black "big bird".
"How is it? Are you still used to it?"
"...Except for the high heels, I'm used to everything else."
"Well, aren't you ladies used to it?"
"Do you think ladies don't find those things disgusting? Besides, these shoes are called high heels because they lift them up. They are basically stilts."
Obviously, Miss Rou dislikes "boots" that are three meters tall under her feet.
But now, she is Lu Pingan's "wife" and at the same time, she is also the nominal owner of the house.
The reason is actually very simple. A lonely outsider can easily attract unnecessary eyes and attention, while a newlywed couple looks much more normal.
In the history of the earth, there are also many stories of husband-wife spies. Even those ace spies who work alone often find a "husband and wife partner" to hide from others.
As for why it is Miss Rou?
“…..how do I pronounce it?”
"It's very standard, but a little too standard. It would be better to have more local accent. I will practice with you when I have time."
The reason is too simple. Among the young women in the team, her scholar career level is the highest.
Moreover, her identity is also very suitable.
"Tomorrow you will open a store by yourself and hire three or four employees. Can you do it?"
"... I'll give it a try, but being clumsy and lacking in understanding of the local situation also suits my character very well. A druggist who has made some achievements in the countryside and brings his 'husband' to the big city to make a living.
division."
Rou Lai took a look at her "script" and nodded affirmatively. This identity is not difficult for her, she just needs to play herself well.
If something hadn't gone wrong along the way, she would have opened a store on Earth to make money by now.
In a peaceful society, needless to say, the power of money is unrealistic.
In addition to financial revenue, Lu Ping'an and his party also need to establish new stable social relationships.
It is too unrealistic to rely solely on "literature", but a shop that produces specialty potions seems to be a good idea.
And Miss Rou, who has become a fourth-level potion master, is obviously the most suitable person to be in charge.
In a sense, this is also the fault of gender inversion. If Lu Ping'an started her career alone, she would be like a single strong woman starting her own business on earth, she would still be young and beautiful... Never mind whether she succeeds or not. Will it cause additional trouble? Just its existence itself will become the talk of others, become urban news or even urban legend, attracting too much unnecessary attention.
Since it is the mainstream of this world to let "ladies" take the lead in their careers, Lu Ping'an and his party cannot go against it.
Disguise a ring? As long as you have money, everything is not a problem. Let your black gloves be purchased by other colleagues, and the price is still very low... Unlike Lu Ping'an and his team, who have been able to get along smoothly, there are people who have long been unable to adapt to the environment and want to run away. On the way.
The status of "full-time househusband" is actually quite convenient for Lu Ping'an to do his own work. He can wander around in the name of "shopping" and "viewing the scenery".
This is the advanced career of a full-time housewife - "full-time rich wife", so it seems normal to go a little beyond the boundaries.
"You want them to come over and help?"
Considering that they had to do things separately, Lu Ping'an was still a little worried about Miss Rou, whose combat power was almost zero, so Lu Ping'an asked.
And the "them" in his mouth were the three black gloves he controlled. They also came over and were struggling to find jobs... Lu Ping'an estimated that they might just end up " "Return to the old business", it is better to hire someone to work in your own shop.
"No, their acting skills are terrible. If they are really exposed, it will only drag us down. If we really need combat power, I might as well hire locals. An Xin, I noticed that more than 90% of the people here are ordinary people."
Miss Rou is full of confidence. In this case, Lu Pingan can only rest assured and leave it to him.
"...When Xia Qin learns the local dialect well, I will ask her to help you."
Lu Ping'an sighed helplessly. They actually purchased an additional disguise ring, but they couldn't find the right person.
Most field professionals will not put a lot of effort into being a scholar. If you want to perfectly disguise yourself as a foreigner, you need to be a part-time scholar of at least level 2 to quickly master the local language and customs, and you also need enough training time to complete it. Disguise training.
Guan Xinxian? He can't do it. He still has a big project on his hands, a big project that is currently ranked among the top.
Moreover, Lu Ping'an also realized that "men" in this world are not suitable for public appearances, and the staff on this road are all females.
When she heard Lu Ping'an said that she wanted Xia Qin to learn the local language quickly and come over to help her, Miss Rou showed a subtle smile.
"I'm looking forward to it, but don't embarrass her too much."
Well, this polite smile is equivalent to saying...
"...Stop torturing her, she won't be able to learn it after we leave."
Lu Pingan received the message and hesitated for a moment.
"Miss Naru..." She is also a pharmacist and also has a part-time scholar. She should be able to learn it in three days.
"She knows it, I know it, and she's a scholar...well."
This hesitation explained everything, and Lu Pingping understood it instantly.
"Hua Xueyi?"
"...It's hard to say whether she is faster or Xia Qin is faster. Considering the level of effort, I still look forward to Captain Xia more."
"Cat Cat..."
"It's better for me to do it myself, that will cause trouble for me."
At this time, Miss Rou was very direct.
"Senior Brother Guan's project depends on one step..."
"But....."
Miss Rou is still a little hesitant. The "female society" in this world is too obvious. If you want to keep a low profile, locking someone up is not a good choice.
