After Aaron and Bruce parted ways, they called a carriage and returned to their rented place.
"Good day, Mr. Aaron, I heard that you visited the museum today?"
The landlady, Mrs. Abel, had just gone out and when she saw Aaron, she couldn't help showing a flattering look on her face.
In this era, those who dress luxuriously and decently, do not work, and rely on land and capital for rent are the characteristics of a truly upper-class society.
Aaron fit this point perfectly, so Mrs. Abel thought he was a high-society figure, perhaps even a child of an aristocrat, and he was usually very attentive.
Moreover, the opponent's actions were also quite generous.
Unlike those migrant workers who only rent a room and have the landlord pay for three meals a day, this beautiful young man named ‘Aaron’ rents a building directly!
It is said that the other party is a young man from a wealthy family who travels around. Because he likes the scenery of Green Forest City, he plans to live here for a while, but because the time is short, he has not had time to find a housekeeper and servants.
"Yes, I am particularly fascinated by the green banyan tree on the castle... Maybe I will create a painting with it someday..."
Aaron nodded reservedly and returned to his residence.
He found that pretending to be a decent person was indeed very beneficial. He would be treated politely wherever he went, and it would be easier to gain trust naturally.
When the patrolmen saw him at this time, they didn't dare to come forward to question him, but took off their hats and greeted him from a distance. This is enough to explain a lot of problems.
After returning to the bedroom, he changed out of his coat and lay on the soft mattress. Aaron closed his eyes and snored slightly.
…
At dawn the next day, he opened his eyes: "What a good sleep... I haven't had this relaxing feeling in many years. Well, the previous thousand years of deep sleep don't count..."
During this time, Aaron has discovered a problem.
After he fell asleep, he could no longer sense the dream world!
However, he was not too panicked. After all, the dream world should still be there, but the coordinates had most likely been transferred.
Moreover, the long-awaited real sleep also gave him a different feeling.
During this thousand years of slumber, there seemed to be no change. In fact, after feeling the precipitation of history, Aaron felt that he had become much calmer.
When he woke up in the morning, he washed his face and brushed his teeth in the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror, Aaron felt a sense of emotion that he had not seen for a long time.
"Sure enough... modern life is still comfortable... although the enjoyment of the upper class at this time is based on the suffering of the lower class..."
"It's time to find a maid, otherwise others will think it's weird..."
"About the exploration of the dream world, it is actually very simple... Just arrange a ritual and try to summon the spirit of illusion... Even if you cannot communicate, you can still confirm whether it exists there..."
But Aaron was in no hurry.
After this period of training in the 'Glow Method', the spirituality of 'Yao' he accumulated has become strong enough, and he feels that he can be promoted through the ritual at any time.
Therefore, he planned to become a first-stage Beyonder before trying ritual magic, which would be safer.
…
After leaving the house and calling a taxi, Aaron went directly to the market where housekeepers and maids were introduced.
Although it's just three streets away and doesn't take much time to walk, it would be unseemly and would be criticized by people you know.
The upper class society of this era has a kind of abnormal values. If a woman wears the same skirt to attend banquets twice, she will be considered to be of poor family status. This is a very serious matter and she will be gradually excluded from her original circle.
And even if your family is originally well-off, you may lose your connections and reputation because of being squeezed out of the circle, your business will fail and go bankrupt, and you will fall into the abyss...
Therefore, the upper class people of this era were very particular about respectability when traveling and dressing up, even to a morbid level.
Aaron is actually not used to this. Although he was a great nobleman thousands of years ago... the Green Forest nobles have always been regarded as "northern barbarians" by the southern sheep people.
However, in order to play your role well at this time, you still have to do as the Romans do.
"My dear sir, are you looking for a servant?"
The coachman was very talkative and seemed to be a little excited because he met a distinguished guest. He kept talking about his experience: "The maid must come from the countryside. The people there are relatively simple. Guys living in the city are very good at being lazy.
, and may even steal the owner's property... It is best to have a letter of introduction from the previous owner and a guarantee from the market, otherwise you will be easily deceived..."
Aaron even heard gossip about how servants were punished in some upper-class families.
What surprised him even more was that in the coachman's concept, it was only natural for a master to punish his servants and even teach his own children to do the same.
After arriving at the "talent market" of this era, Aaron paid the carriage fare and was about to enter when two more gentlemen walked towards him.
One of them was well-dressed and well-dressed, with a big forehead and a pair of blue eyes. He was the Bruce Fielder he met yesterday.
"Isn't this Aaron? I didn't expect to see you here again. Are you here to choose servants? I have some experience in this aspect..."
"Bruce, this is..." Aaron looked at an old gentleman next to him.
He has gray hair, a meerschaum pipe in his mouth, his leather shoes are polished, and he has the air of a scholar.
"Let me introduce...this is Mr. Clark Das! Mr. Das is a professor at the School of History and a respected scholar!"
Bruce obviously has great respect for Clark Das: "I studied with him for a period of time and benefited a lot from the study of real history and occultism... This time, it was also the maid of Mr. Das's family who got married because of
And after resigning, I brought him to choose a new maid..."
"Hello!"
Aaron stretched out his hand and shook the other person's hand. He felt that the other person's palm was very strong, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"Hello, young man..."
Mr. Das's expression was a little strange, and he glanced at Aaron a few more times: "I feel the vicissitudes and weight of history in you..."
'This person...'
Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the other party might not be simple.
However, the spirituality is hidden within oneself, and without using specific means to detect it, it is impossible to determine whether the other party is an extraordinary person.
'Is Bruce's belief in mysterious existence influenced by Clark Dass?'
'Also...compared to illiterate workers and maids, in fact...nobles and high-level intellectuals are the groups most likely to have access to mystery, especially as he is a historian!'
