At eleven o'clock in the evening, after taking a short nap, Rawls got up from the bed, found a three-piece suit from the closet, put it on, opened the door quietly, and walked out of the bedroom.
Steward August has not yet found out the specific circumstances of the "Tassock News" reporting on the shooting. In this era, except for the government and political parties, few people will deal with newspaper tycoons.
Today, as industrialized papermaking and printing become more developed, the price of a newspaper has dropped to 1 penny, and its coverage has become wider and wider.
Moreover, there are not many illiterates in Loen. A survey two years ago showed that 25.41% of males in Loen were illiterate and 41.24% of females were illiterate. This means that at least 65% of the people in Loen are literate.
But that doesn't mean they can read newspapers.
Today's newspapers are mostly read by the elites of the Loen Kingdom, and at least the middle and lower classes. After the Russell Industrial Revolution, the growing worker groups rarely read newspapers. First, there is no time, and the big factory owners
I wish they could stay in the factory and work 24 hours a day. Secondly, there is no suitable newspaper for these low-level workers to read.
However, as the illiteracy rate in the Loen Kingdom has declined significantly, the prototype of a commercial newspaper industry has begun to take shape.
Rawls carefully climbed over the wall and left the villa. There were two concierges at the gate of his villa. They took turns guarding the gate and were responsible for delivering letters, business cards, gifts, etc. for Rawls.
Arriving at the empty and wide Gatton Street, this road is enough for four carriages to drive at the same time. In the West End of Backlund, where land is precious, it is simply a luxury. However, in Queens, the roads outside many aristocratic villas can often be
It can accommodate six carriages running at the same time and was built for the nobles who have many guests. The King's Avenue next to it can even run ten carriages, and the Backlund subway also passes under the King's Avenue.
Exiting Gatton Street and heading south along King's Avenue, Rawls carefully avoided the occasional police patrol along the way. This is the wealthy Backlund West District, and every year a large sum of money is donated to the West District Police Department.
The Western District Police Department will naturally reciprocate the funds and provide corresponding services.
Of course, fortunately, there is a gas street lamp every fifty meters on the road, which is about as tall as an adult man. The black metal is pressed against the glass, forming a grid, creating classical "arts of art" like lanterns.
Rawls relied on the dim light emitted by these gas street lamps. Although Rawls's eyesight was not enhanced by the potion, as an extraordinary person, he still had eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people. It was quite easy to avoid the patrolling police.
.
However, the three-piece suit he was wearing was still quite restrictive. Rawls' "Barbarian" potion did not provide a sensitivity bonus, and it was still quite difficult to dodge in a large scale.
Rawls did not choose to go through the Hillston District and the Jowood District, but went south, directly to the South District of the Bridge, and then walked through the Bridge District to the East District. In this way, he walked almost a third of the distance, but it was
It is much safer. Whether it is the bustling Hillston area or the densely populated Jowood area, they are places where the police and church extraordinary people pay close attention.
When we arrived at the Backlund Bridge area, the buildings here were relatively dilapidated. Tramps dressed as workers lay casually on beds made of a few newspapers.
There are few people here to evict them, even though the Poor Law stipulates that homeless people are not allowed to sleep in the streets and parks.
Because the police here rarely patrol, no one pays for their patrols.
Since the Corn Bills were repealed last month, the workers who marched against the Corn Bills have indeed received a reduction in food prices, but their quality of life has not improved, or even dropped.
Because bankrupt farmers moved into the cities and demanded jobs with low wages, the wages of the working class fell rapidly.
These workers soon became unable to afford a job and had no income, so they could not even afford a bed for the night, so they had to live on the streets, using newspapers to make the floor.
Fortunately, it is now a hot July day, and even in Backlund where it rains for a long time, the temperature is not too low at night.
But as soon as September comes, these people will fall ill the next day if they sleep outside for one night, and it is not impossible for them to almost die on the street.
Rawls lowered his felt hat, carefully avoiding the poor people who had fallen asleep, lowered his head and strode forward, wondering how many of these people would survive this year.
Backlund's Great Smog Incident apparently caused the death of tens of thousands of people, and this was the result of Xiaoke's desperate efforts to stop it.
Klein is incompatible with this world. This may be an established choice as a "weak time traveler" in modern society. It is difficult for Rawls to imagine that Xiao Ke did not become half an "old man" within three years, but
It took longer to figure out whether Xiaoke's humanity would exist.
This is why Xiao Ke warned himself after becoming an angel, "Always remember that you are him, not him." In this twisted and chaotic world, the stronger you are and the longer you live, the more human nature will change.
gradually disappear.
After entering the Bridge District, the street lights were already sparse, and when we arrived in the East District, it was as if we had entered a bottomless abyss. Fortunately, there was a full moon last night, and the weather was pretty good tonight. The crimson moonlight was enough for Rawls to distinguish the direction and location.
Rawls felt that every cell in his body was active. The environment here made him feel like a fish in water, and the "savage's" keen intuition was gradually recovering.
Clench your fists. This is where the barbarians are active. They resort to force, fists, and violence to solve problems. He raised his head and looked at the direction again. Rawls walked towards the place he rented. He now only
I need something less restrictive.
I hope the gangsters in the East District can rest late today, and Rawls will give them a sweet dream.
"Help!"
"Help!"
The shrill female voice sounded like nails scratching the blackboard, traveling far in the dark night.
Rawls frowned as he was about to enter the dock area. It seemed that the protagonist would definitely get into trouble when he came out. He looked down at his three-piece suit. It seemed that he could not change his clothes for the time being. He lowered his felt hat again and asked the voice
Rush in the direction it came from.
Just as Rawls disappeared into the darkness, a short figure appeared there, with messy shoulder-length yellow hair and wearing a traditional knight training uniform. The short figure shook his head and slowly moved in the direction of Rawls.
Walk slowly.
Rolls followed the direction of the sound and quickly found the woman asking for help, then stayed where he was and looked at the group of people opposite.
