Although he was a little surprised and confused, Aaron's expression remained normal, and he continued to talk to Clark Das for a while, and even got the other person's business card.
He looked at the address in his hand and decided to pay a visit later.
"I'm really sorry, because I have just settled here and my new business card has not been printed yet..."
Aaron explained for himself again.
"It doesn't matter, I'm looking forward to Mr. Uggs's visit."
Clark Das smiled.
The pseudonym Aaron uses now is Aaron Yugos.
The three of them entered the agency while chatting.
"Three gentlemen, what services do you need... We have the best housekeeper, the most beautiful maid, and a male servant who is as strong as an ox..."
A fat manager with a shiny face immediately greeted him.
Clark suddenly frowned.
Aaron, who had recently gained knowledge in this area, knew that some real butlers were from upper-class families and had attended specialized training schools, which were separate from ordinary servants.
Moreover, even ordinary male and female servants are divided into chief male servants, valets, chief maids, personal maids, maids who manage kitchen utensils, as well as the lowest-level washing maids, chore maids, etc.
This fat guy looks very unprofessional at first glance.
But after all, Green Forest is not the capital of Inves, so we can't be too demanding.
"This gentleman and I each need a maid."
Clark introduced.
"No problem, I'll go get the information right away."
The fat manager smiled and was about to walk up the stairs when his expression suddenly changed: "Sylvia, who allowed you to come here?"
Aaron looked over and saw a 20-year-old woman with simple clothes and thin cheeks. She was pleading with a voice that could sob at any time: "Manager Wright, please give me a job..."
In this era, weekly wages are basically given, because ordinary people have trouble even buying food for the next day. Once they don’t get paid for a week, they may starve to death and freeze to death, let alone have any savings.
Therefore, wages must be paid weekly.
Once you lose your job, you are in a very dangerous situation.
"I used to be so kind and kind. I didn't mind that you were fired by your last employer, so I introduced you to another job. But within two months, you messed up..."
Wright shook his head, firmly refused, and said to Aaron and the others: "Three gentlemen, please avoid her. She is an ominous woman. She has had misfortune. After being fired by her first employer, she was dismissed by her second employer.
There were also frequent incidents between the two employers..."
No one will give a maid like this a third chance.
Aaron glanced at Sylvia and intuitively felt that there was indeed a bit of gloom in her body.
Bruce sighed and looked at Sylvia with pity, knowing that sweatshops or selling one's body might be her only way out.
"Is it ominous? Interesting!"
Aaron suddenly said: "I am currently studying a purification ritual and need an experimental subject. Maybe I can try it on her. How much salary does it cost to hire her?"
"Kind sir...I...I can do anything...for three shillings a week."
Sylvia said quickly.
The shilling is a subsidiary currency of Inves. The coin contains a certain amount of silver, and its exchange rate with the gold pound is about 20:1.
Further down, there are copper pennies or 'coppers', 1 shilling can be exchanged for 12 copper pennies.
In the market, the cheapest glass of beer in a bar is often worth 1 pence, and a bag of flour is worth 8 to 9 pence.
White-collar workers, government employees, housekeepers, and trained elite servants working in companies often earn weekly wages in pounds.
A weekly salary of 3 shillings is indeed very low.
"Mr. Wright, please prepare a contract..."
Aaron smiled and said to the manager.
"well……"
Wright sighed and glanced at Sylvia, not knowing whether this woman was lucky or unlucky.
Although I found a job, this employer doesn't look like a serious person.
"Thank you, kind sir!"
Sylvia almost cried with joy.
She was pregnant with misfortune, and she would wake up with a fright every night when she dreamed about it. Recently, she was even more unlucky. She either broke the dishes or damaged the ironing at her new employer's house, and her reputation was already very bad.
Aaron literally brought her back from the brink.
"The misfortune-ridden maid..." Bruce also stared at Sylvia, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Aaron, can I watch your purification and exorcism ceremony? I also have some research on this..."
"Ahem!"
Clark Das coughed, and Bruce stopped angrily.
Next, Clark browsed the information and selected a decent maid with a weekly salary of 5 shillings. After agreeing on a visiting time, the three of them walked out of the employment agency together.
Seeing no one around, Clark spoke in a low voice: "Don't discuss occultism in public...Bruce, if you still can't get rid of this bad habit, you will lose my friendship."
As Aaron listened, he felt that the old scholar holding a pipe seemed to be hinting at him.
"Why?"
He pretended to be a newbie and asked curiously.
"Inves seems to be free, but in fact it is a country full of secret police... Those secret police hide in dark corners, watching everyone and reviewing every publication. Once they are found guilty, they will
You can even arrest them directly and convict them without trial... For public promotion of occultism, you may be warned, detained, or fined for the first time, and jailed for the second time.”
Clark took a deep breath of tobacco and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
'Such a strict secret police system... It seems that Yingweis's management of wild Beyonders is extremely strict...'
Aaron suddenly understood.
'This Clark, 80% guesses that I am an Extraordinary, testing me? And what about Bruce? One of his good friends, or an apprentice under observation?'
He said goodbye to the two of them calmly and returned to his residence.
'Finally...are we going to come into contact with the otherworld that has been developing for thousands of years?'
Aaron was slightly excited.
He is still somewhat confident about his own safety and combat power.
In addition to the limitless body of an ordinary person, even if he is only half an Extraordinary at this time, with so many spells and rituals he has mastered, ordinary first- and second-stage Extraordinaries may not be his opponents.
'Well, I'll have a showdown another day...'
'But before that, let's perform some ritual magic to enhance our strength...and then use divination to determine the degree of danger.'
'Also... go to the black market to buy firearms. The firearms of this era are already very powerful, and are a little easier to use than the abilities of low-level extraordinary people.'
Aaron made detailed plans for recent events.
Then, he went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, returned to his residence to wash up, and fell asleep peacefully, enjoying the joy of sleep.
