For Middle-earth people in their previous life, they may not have any impression of the name Kolkata. Perhaps those who specialize in geography or history can tell that this is an Indian city, and ordinary people probably rarely even listen to it.
But for the British, when it comes to Kolkata, they will look proud or feel glory in their hearts, because India was once the most shining jewel in the crown of their British Empire, and Kolkata was once the capital of the Indian colonial period.
It lasted for 140 years and was the most prosperous city in the Indian subcontinent at that time.
In contrast, the later Indian capital New Delhi and the largest city of Mumbai were incomparable to Kolkata during that period.
Even in 1911, the Indian colonial governor had moved the capital from Kolkata to New Delhi in order to divide India and Bangladesh, but there were still other cities here that could not be more prosperous than your foundation and prosperity.
John said goodbye to the familiar officer on the warship and took seven followers of Hutchis to ashore from Kolkata.
The reason I chose Kolkata to get ashore is because, as the largest city in the Bay of Bengal, which is "separated by a wall" from Bengal next door, it occupies the geographical advantages of the estuary of the Ganges and the largest port of the Bay of Bengal. From Kolkata to Nepal, you only need to take a boat north to save a lot of time.
If you choose to log in to the West Coast of India on the Indian Ocean side, you have to cross a long land distance before you can reach Nepal.
So Kolkata is John's best and closest choice, and Henry helped John arrange a warship from Cape Town to Kolkata.
"Sir, are we going to set off now? I'll arrange the boat first..."
Faced with Hatches' request, John waved his hand.
"First find a clean hotel to stay for one night. You can buy a sturdy carriage first, and then contact the boat in the afternoon."
Instead of taking the boat to set off as soon as he got ashore, John chose to stay in Kolkata for one night.
Hutchis bowed and bowed:
"Okay, I understand."
So under the arrangement of Hutches, the group took a hired carriage and stayed in a high-end hotel in Kolkata's most prosperous British district.
As the captain of the expedition team, Hutchis is also good at dealing with all kinds of people in addition to his personal force. It can be said that he is a bit useless when he acts as John's portable housekeeper for the moment, and John is relieved to hand over the matter to him.
As a typical example of not short of money, John naturally chose the best living conditions when he had the conditions. This is a habit developed as a child of a noble in this life.
Of course, if you want to endure hardship, he is fearless. Who can enjoy it? He is not the kind of ascetic monks and ascetic monks who are bound by precepts.
In the early nineteenth century, the city of Kolkata was intentionally divided by the British into two completely different areas.
One is the British and the other is the Indian.
The most important area of the city is the white area, which is built on the raised ground and learns from the two notorious stinky cities, London and Paris. The lessons learned from the dung city. At the beginning of the design, the British were
A drainage system is planned.
In the British area, it can be said that luxury mansions abound, the worst is the sturdy and exquisite apartment. The former governor of Richard Wellesley greatly promoted Kolkata in 1799
The economic and scale growth between seven years and 1805 was fully implemented because of the current planning and construction of Kolkata.
Because of its spectacular public buildings and mansions, the white Kolkata district is portrayed as a "city of palaces" and the Indian district is called "black town".
It can be said that the slums in Hei Town had reached a terrifying scale and level during that period, and coupled with the limitations of the caste system, it was even more terrifying than the slums in Rio, Brazil, the most famous later generations.
Of course, John had no idea to save the poor Asan. Kolkata was just his way, and he did not have so much sympathy to be the "Holy Virgin".
What's more, even if he really wants to be a saint, he must at least start by improving the lives of the same difficult people in the Eastern Middle-earth period.
In the most luxurious suite in the hotel, the team members who were following all lived outside, and John was more at ease thinking in the room.
The reason I had to stay in Kolkata for one night was because he felt a little confused.
He was about to look for the most holy master, but John had no confidence in his heart.
So John plans to enter the astrology platform in the main card space tonight and do a divination gift from the main card of fate.
Because after several experiences of divination fulfillment, with more and more in-depth understanding of the extraordinary things and knowledge at the top, John no longer conducts free divination every day.
This is his subconscious and instinctively thinking that it is the right choice, because there is an old saying in the West in the main world, "Those who play with fate will inevitably be played with by fate."
There was also a saying in Middle-earth in the past life that has been passed down since ancient times, which means that too many secrets of heaven will inevitably be punished by heaven.
Take his favorite master of Star Port movies and Master Lin, the founder of zombie movies, once said in the movie, a monk will inevitably have three shortcomings and five disadvantages and will not have a good end. As a true practitioner, John knows this
The sentence is actually wrong, or incomplete.
The three shortcomings and five disadvantages refer to not those who are cultivators, but those who are good at appearance, divination and spiritual communication, are undoubtedly going to be defeated because they are always obsessed with fate, leaking secrets of heaven and communicating with ghosts and gods.
What damages one's own qi and yang energy, here is the yang energy that refers to life energy.
Therefore, this kind of person will have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and will not have good results.
For practitioners who have been nourishing their bodies and qi refining their energy for many years, even if they cannot live forever in the Dharma-Ending Age, they can at least have a long life.
Therefore, after using the free divination ability given by the main card for a period of time, John decisively stopped this behavior, because he started as a grassroots policeman in his previous life. In those years he was a policeman, he had seen too many examples and understood that it was free
Sometimes it may be the most expensive, which will make you pay a high price that you can't afford.
The chance of falling pies from the sky is even lower than the chance of winning five million to buy lottery tickets. Whenever you encounter such "good things", people must be careful. If you are not greedy, the chance of being deceived will be greatly reduced.
So since he came to the east, John has not used the card of fate to give him free divination ability. Even if the card of fate is pressed on it, the possibility of fate being backfired is not high, and John also feels that
It is better to be cautious yourself.
Who knows whether this free divination will cost him an unbearable price in some places and at some point?
Besides, before everything begins, everyone knows what will happen in the future, and there will be no surprises in such a life, right?
But this time, facing a figure at the level of the God King, John thought it would be better to use divination. This is not a heart, but a careful choice.
Who knows what that saint master will do to himself?
If the boss doesn't like him and slapped him to death, wouldn't he be very unfair?
