After escaping, Karl returned to London in the afternoon of the next day.
After this short half-day, Karl deeply realized that he could no longer measure the world with normal thinking. After all, whether it was the 19th century or the 21st century, he had never heard of such evil things, even if there were some weird stories.
It's a strange anecdote, but no one can provide evidence to prove it is true.
But it was different now. The stone slab and the dagger were still pressed under his pillow. The two items were definitely placed there, reminding him all the time that his previous encounter was by no means a dream or hallucination.
Even the keys to the theater were still in his pocket because he left in a hurry.
After returning to London, Karl didn't go out for two whole days. He stayed at home and studied the dagger and slate with nothing to do.
As a result, he has only verified one thing so far. At least among the things he can get, there is nothing that this dagger cannot pierce.
Of course, except for the stone slab, he was reluctant to experiment with something that looked very powerful.
As for this stone slab with a strange material, there is no progress at all, the text cannot be deciphered, and nothing can be seen in the picture.
As for giving it to others to help identify it, there is no need to think about it. As long as you dare to show it to others, you will never be able to eat it and walk around. This thing looks like a treasure at first glance, and it is typical for a civilian to hold it in his hand.
A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.
Of course, it's not that there are no gains. The skills that appeared in his mind when he jumped off the building have already yielded results after two days of careful study.
After sorting it out, Carl obtained the phantom knife, a combat skill practiced by a profession called Night Blade. The landing method he used when jumping off the building to run away was derived from this combat skill, and when he chopped down Marianne
In fact, this technique has already been used, otherwise even with his ability, even a sneak attack may not be able to stab the woman.
In addition to what he has mastered, this combat method called the Phantom Knife should also have more advanced advanced methods of use. Unfortunately, he only has the most basic use skills in his mind, and he has not obtained any more advanced things.
In addition to using daggers and daggers for close combat, there is also the ability to project weapons and fly them. Unfortunately, this method requires magic power to release, and Karl does not expect to be able to use it now.
This whole set of combat skills was definitely something Karl had never come across before. The only explanation is that when he was flipping through the magic book, this knowledge was poured into his brain through mental influence.
According to the knowledge I compiled, this technique has a total of 16 levels in the primary stage, and it would take an average person at least 5 years to fully master it.
And the time from when Carl opened the magic book to when Marian came in and woke him up was just over three hours, which was enough to prove that the magic book was definitely extraordinary.
After all, it allows one person to master skills in 3 hours that would take ordinary people 5 years to master, and this was achieved when Carl’s reading was interrupted. Carl felt that if he was given the chance to finish the book
, maybe you can master the advanced skills later.
It's a pity that Marianne's body hugged the magic book tightly, and now the book is probably completely burned by the fire.
Karl couldn't help but feel a little pity.
But the good news is not without it.
Just today, something good happened to Karl early in the morning.
In the "The Times" that was circulated in the neighborhood that he got in the morning, he clearly saw the news that the largest theater in Sevenoaks caught fire at night.
Everyone in the theater was not spared, and the famous actress Miss Marianne also died in the fire. A photo is printed on this plate, showing the burned theater and Marianne's charred body.
Ordinary people may feel sad after seeing this news, but for Carl, this is the best good news in these days.
After being happy, Carl decided to go out to exchange for some living expenses and see if he could find some work. Although he had been exposed to these supernatural events, life still required money.
After going out to get 2 shillings for living expenses, Carl looked around in places he was familiar with. Unfortunately, there was no position suitable for him.
Due to various rapidly changing machines replacing human work, too many people are now unemployed. One-third of the workers in their original positions are directly unemployed, and another third are in a situation of severe job fluctuations and are precarious.
It is extremely difficult to find a suitable job in London's job market.
After giving up looking for a job, Carl bought two loaves of bread at a discount for 3p from a roadside shop as his meal today.
After carrying the bread and returning to the door, Karl found that it was different from when he went out. There were two people standing at the door of his house. One of them was a friend he met at his previous workplace, and the other was wearing a fashionable coat.
I knew this guy was living a good life, and the two of them seemed to be waiting for him to come back.
At this time, Karl didn't want to interact with anyone at all.
But unfortunately, at the same time that Karl saw them, one of the two also saw him, so before he could turn around and leave, the person who recognized him waved at Karl and shouted.
"Karl, we are looking for you, what have you been doing?"
"Glock, I just went out to buy some bread. What can I do?"
Since there was nothing he could do after being discovered, Karl said hello and walked over.
"If you need anything, just ask Mrs. Lawn to send me a message. You're still waiting for me here. Is there anything important?"
Mrs. Lawn is Carl's neighbor, a 57-year-old old man who lives alone. She is kind to her neighbors and would never mind spreading a message to others.
"I have something important to discuss with you. This is Mr. Benn. Let's go in and talk."
Mr. Benn, who was standing aside, nodded towards Karl and showed a friendly smile.
At the same time, Glauc took Karl and walked towards the door.
After all, he was his friend, so he couldn't refuse him directly, so Karl opened the door with half push and welcomed the two people in.
After Karl put the bread in the cupboard, the three of them sat down in the room, and the conversation began.
"So if there is something so mysterious, we can tell it now."
"Karl, you haven't found a job since you lost your job a few days ago, right?"
Grouch said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, is it possible that you want to introduce me to a job?"
"No, I'm not trying to introduce you to a job, but I'm trying to take back the jobs that belong to us."
At this point, Grouch stopped what he was about to say, and instead looked at Ben, who was sitting aside and had yet to speak, with a look of inquiry.
"Mr. Carl, I know you must be unwilling to have your job taken away by a damn machine."
At this point, he paused, took out a cigarette with his hand, lit it, and started smoking.
"Are you interested in working with us to get rid of those cold machines and let those heartless guys return the work to us?"
After Ben finished speaking, he smiled and extended his hand to Karl, with a confident expression, as if he had seen the future that Karl promised him.
But what Karl was thinking at this time was: Can this guy stop smoking in my house?
