157 Cog's House

The rental boats in this city all look similar in appearance. They are all light and slender boats. There are small sheds made of canvas and steel bars on the boats to protect the passengers from the rain when the weather is bad. At the same time, there are also small sheds on the sheds.

The ships are numbered with paint to facilitate the management of these ships.

Perhaps due to the will of the universe, the boatman here is as talkative as the taxi driver in Lawrence's previous life. After listening to Saifei complaining about the fog that pervaded the city, the boatman told a related joke.

"The fog here is indeed very severe, and today is considered a day with relatively light fog. When the fog is really thick, people's faces cannot be seen clearly even if they are five or six steps apart, and locals will reduce their travel to avoid danger."

"Legend has it that there was a day when the fog was so heavy that all boats like ours and carriages on the road were out of service. A foreigner came out of the train station and walked for tens of meters and found that he was completely lost. In the rush

He bumped into a stranger who asked him if he needed help. The stranger thought for a moment and agreed."

"As a result, after the tourist told the stranger his destination, the person took him around for more than 20 minutes and arrived at the place he wanted to go. He was a little curious about how the stranger did it. As a result,

The stranger told him that he was a native of Londiniam, the capital of the Britons."

"Hehehe——" Lawrence and Saifei both smiled politely. Although the story was good and the boatman uncle was also very enthusiastic, there was always something wrong with the joke in his mouth.

"By the way, where are we going?" In order to avoid continuing to listen to the boatman's bad jokes, Saphire directly asked Lawrence about everyone's next goal. "What hotel is it?"

"Hotel? Of course not." Lawrence smiled. Booking a hotel room in this era is not a simple matter. It requires a special package to mail the hotel booking letter and deposit to the hotel at the same time, or even send someone to make a special trip to book the room. This is much worse than Lawrence's previous life.

It's much more troublesome to book a room with just a few taps on your phone.

"Don't worry, we won't sleep on the street." Lawrence said after watching Saifei raise his head and look at him with doubtful eyes. "I have a friend here, and he has been inviting me to Huguang City before.

You must remember to stay at his house for a while later, and we are going to his house now."

"It won't cause him any trouble if we just visit him like this, right?" Saphiel looked a little worried, "Have you notified him in advance, and whether his home is ready to receive our two guests -"

In this era, it is very normal to travel to other places and stay at a friend's house, so Saphire didn't think there was anything wrong when she heard Lawrence talk about staying at a friend's house, but she was a little worried about the possibility of the two of them going there just like that.

It will cause inconvenience to others.

"Of course there won't be any trouble." Lawrence said, "I used the telegram from the train to ask this friend specifically on the way here. He welcomes us to live in his home. As for whether it will bring him any trouble.

, I’m really not sure about this, because I don’t know the specific situation of his family?”

Because Lawrence and the others did not lower their voices when they said this, the boatman behind them also heard what they said. When Lawrence and Saphire began to worry that this might bring trouble to their friends,

The boatman comforted them both.

"I remember you are going to Adams Island now. The boatman shook his oar and said to his two passengers, "If your friend lives there, you don't have to worry about bringing him trouble, because

No one living on Adams Island would be in trouble financially for hosting two friends."

When the boat arrived near the destination in 20 minutes, Lawrence and the others knew why the boatman had said those words just now. Because this small island, which did not look big, was very similar to Lime Street where Lawrence and the others lived before.

With exquisite buildings, neat streets and beautiful small parks, it should be a noble community in this city.

"Let me see, Cog's home should be at No. 37 Adams Island - yes, that's right here." After landing on the pier before checking in, Lawrence and the others found a map engraved on a copper plate on the pier.

They learned the locations of various buildings on the island. Under the guidance of the map, the two of them quickly knew what to do next.

Five minutes later, Lawrence and the others appeared at the door of a three-story building with a small garden. The name Cog Gear was engraved on the bronze plate of the mailbox in front of the door.

"Okay, we're here now." Lawrence said as he stepped forward and pulled the doorbell chain at the door. Soon, a chubby woman in her 40s wearing a black dress and a white apron and a standard maid outfit emerged from the room.

Walked out of the room.

"Are you Mr. August and Miss Coburg?" When she walked to the wrought iron gate of the garden, the middle-aged maid asked Lawrence. After seeing Lawrence and the others nodded lightly, the maid opened the gate and

Lead them through the small garden towards the room.

"Mr. Gears has been telling me and the chef to prepare for you after receiving your telegram yesterday. We also went to the market to purchase a lot of things this morning." After entering the door of the room, they passed through a room decorated with various colors.

The mosaics collaged the front hall of some mythical story and entered the reception room mainly decorated in yellow and blue. After leading them to sit down, the maid helped them put a pot of authentic tea imported from China.

While saying.

"So where is Cog now?" Lawrence asked, "It feels like he is not at home now!"

"Sir, it is true that he is not here." The middle-aged maid said, "Because this year is the year of the murloc invasion, the murloc attack may last for about two weeks. Therefore, Mr. Gear needs to go there every day during this period.

The institute is prepared to respond to any possible crisis."

"But you don't have to worry." The maid said after seeing Lawrence and the others looking worried, "He will come back every day during dinner. If everything goes well, you will definitely be able to have dinner with Mr. Gear tonight.

"

Because Lawrence and the others had already had a simple lunch before getting off the train, the two of them declined the servant's offer to prepare lunch for them. After drinking tea, the two of them went directly under the leadership of the maid.

Floor guest room.

Opening the door to the guest room, Lawrence and the others appeared in front of a small living room dominated by dark blue and gold, with gorgeous wallpaper and beautiful gilded plaster decorative panels.

"The door on the left is a bathroom with a marble bathtub, and the two doors on the right are bedrooms." The servant leading the team introduced, "If you need our help with anything, you can just ask us to help."

I can hear the chain on the bedside from downstairs. Also, you must be tired after traveling for five or six days. Please take a good rest. I will come up and call you when sir comes back."

After saying that, the maid closed the door directly. After confirming that the maid had left, Saphire directly put the suitcase into the storage cabinet in the living room and said to Lawrence, "Ah, I can finally have a good sleep."

To be honest, the sleeper bed on the train is too hard and too narrow, so I haven’t had a good rest in the past few days."

"By the way, I need to take a shower before going to bed. I haven't taken a shower for five days and I feel like I'm stinking. Not to mention that I had a fight in the morning and my whole body smelled like fish." After that, he looked at it.

Lawrence. "I'll take a shower first. You can't compete with me."

"Okay, okay, you wash it first." Lawrence said with a smile, and at the same time took out a book from the box, and then put the small box into the storage cabinet. "I will go back to my room to read for a while, you

Remember to call me after you finish washing, I want to take a good bath today too."
