Aaron was wearing casual home clothes, sitting in front of the dining table, looking at the breakfast carefully prepared by Sylvia on the white tablecloth:
Slightly golden eggs fried on both sides, a piece of buttered bread, grilled bacon, and a jam tart.
Because Aaron doesn't like coffee very much, the drink is milk.
Sometimes, it is changed to lemon tea with lemon slices floating on it.
'With Sylvia's cooking skills, she deserves a weekly salary of 5 shillings or more... There is something wrong with the Benjamin family. If you have a chance, check it out...'
This is not because Aaron is a righteous warrior, but because he is running out of money again...
In addition to the knowledge transaction with Clark Das, he also has to bear the rent, carriage fees, water and gas expenses, and the expenses of the maid every day...
With the little money I robbed from gangs, I couldn't make ends meet.
And, you can’t keep doing it forever.
'Although the police officers don't pay much attention to gang members, and are not even willing to open a case for investigation on the bodies left behind by gang fighting... On the contrary, even if a low-status dock coolie or a prostitute dies, they will quickly enter the investigation process
...It is full of invisible discrimination. But there is still some possibility of exposure...'
Aaron stuffed the grilled bacon into his mouth and felt the fragrance of grease on his tongue: 'Besides, those gangsters are actually quite poor... robbing a decent gentleman ten times is not as good as robbing a decent gentleman, and it is easy to expose...'
'And the Benjamin family is obviously involved in mystery, maybe we can get some mysterious materials?'
On Clark Das' side, after he becomes more familiar and trustworthy, he should be able to ask him to introduce him to the local circle of mystics. At that time, he will need more capital for transactions.
At the same time, Aaron is also studying grammar and history courses. After all, his knowledge is too weird. He knows everything about things from a thousand years ago, but he knows nothing about what happened within a thousand years. Clark almost noticed it a few times before.
What comes.
And all of this requires money and resources!
'Beyond that, it's my own promotion.'
Aaron took one last sip of milk.
‘From ‘Luminous One’ to ‘Shepherd of Light’, you first need to reach the limit of spiritual accumulation again, and then you can try to be promoted...'
'Among these, slowly accumulating through the 'Glow Method' every day is the slowest way.'
In fact, in the secret transmission of "Yao", there is also a practice of plundering the spirituality of other "Yao" extraordinary people to enhance one's own. The ritual process is quite bloody and cruel.
'In addition, there is a milder method, which is to establish a sect and let the extraordinary people of 'Yao', at least the spiritually awakened people, worship themselves crazily... In this case, they can also slowly absorb their power through rituals.
The spirituality of 'Yao'! In order to achieve this step, it is necessary to establish your own sect, develop believers, and teach meditation methods... I seem to understand why so many secret sects and esoteric groups can never be wiped out...'
'Of course, there is another fastest way, and that is to please the gods!'
'As long as Si Sui pays attention to this channel and is willing to promote believers, it will not be a dream to raise the level of the essence several levels at a time... But it is also the most dangerous. Not to mention the terrifying sacrifices that were performed to please Si Sui before, after the promotion,
My own will and reason are probably finished...'
'For me, this is the most impossible path... Before I master a certain level of strength, it's too late to avoid those Si Sui...'
'As for me now, I can only use the 'Glow Method' to polish slowly every day...'
It's not that Aaron has any mysophobia, it's just that he can't find a suitable target for plunder, and at the same time he doesn't want to establish a sect and attract the attention of the Bureau of Investigation.
While thinking about it, Aaron wiped his hands with the napkin handed over by Sylvia and looked through the newspaper that was just delivered today.
Inves's most famous newspapers are the "Daily Mail" and "Pulmouth Business Journal"... These are national newspapers, which are transported by train and railway to all parts of the country every day.
Aaron reads "Green Forest Morning News", which is published by a local newspaper. After registering and paying at the newspaper company, a special newspaper boy will deliver it to your door every day. The price is 30 pence a month. If you are willing to subscribe for a year, there are discounts.
The content in the newspaper is more local, and there are also some business news, price rises and falls in various places, etc... The last cracks are filled with advertisements from various companies, detectives, and trading companies.
Overall, it is a comprehensive newspaper that is not very professional.
At this moment, at a glance, I saw a lot of information:
[Warmly celebrate the opening of the first subway line in Lusen City, Mayor Andre and other city councilors came to the scene to celebrate...]
Below, there is also a very blurry black and white photo.
Aaron had to admit that even if he met the people above, he might not be able to recognize them.
He curled his lips and continued to read.
[Construction at St. Avalon Cathedral is suspended, and Archbishop Roberts John Schaller is involved in a financial embezzlement scandal!]
[Dr. Hannibal will perform a public surgery at the clinic today, and the visiting fee is 1 shilling!]
[Witch House Restaurant 30% off coupon for August, first come first served!]
…
In addition, Aaron even saw advertisements for detectives and prostitutes, and had to admit that the current atmosphere was indeed quite open, almost to the point of depravity.
"The archbishop of the church is corrupt, and the prostitutes are openly published in the newspapers... It's really interesting."
He put down the newspaper and chuckled.
Sylvia next to her moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but didn't dare.
Seeing this, Aaron asked: "Sylvia, are you also a believer in the Holy Spirit?"
"Yes, with the grace of the Holy Spirit, I was able to come to this world. I also received help from the church's almshouse when I was in poverty..."
Sylvia said sincerely.
Aaron nodded. He had recently been supplementing his general historical knowledge. He knew that the Holy Spirit Church was a church that gradually sprouted in the Dark Ages. It was eventually established as the state religion by the founding monarch of Inves, the Sun King Arthur, and achieved tremendous development.
The Holy Spirit Church is a monotheistic religion that believes that there is only one true God in the world, that is the Holy Spirit, and everything else is false gods, or His incarnations and the angels under him.
Since it became the state religion, it has occupied the mainstream belief of the people of Inves and is committed to incorporating false gods from all over the world.
For example, there is still a popular "Green Banyan Tree Grandmother" in Green Forest City. According to the description in Holy Spirit Church classics, she is an angel under the seat of the Holy Spirit. She can be called the "Spring Messenger" or the "Green Angel"...
Anyway, when Aaron saw this description for the first time, he was very speechless.
However, he also understood this.
'If you don't occupy the high ground of faith, others will always occupy it... It is better to fill the hearts of ordinary people with a false 'Holy Spirit' without divine power than to be in chaos and be easily deceived and depraved by those real evil gods.
