Klein strives not to let itself behave abnormally, and asks with genuine curiosity:

"What capabilities does Divinator have?"

"Your question is not accurate enough, what ability would you get if you take Divinator magical medicine?" Dunn Smith shook his head, gray eyes and face turned away from scarlet moon, hidden in the shadow, "astrology divination, card divination, spiritual pendulum, spirit vision and Many, many similar things, of course, not to say that if you take magical medicine, you will immediately understand and master them. magical medicine just gives you the qualifications and ability to learn these. "

"Because of the lack of direct means of confrontation, you should be able to imagine that magical ceremony needs too much preparation and is not suitable for encounters at all, so accordingly, in terms of mysticism knowledge, Divinator will be more knowledgeable than Inquisitor of Secrets, More professional. "

Sounds quite in line with my requirements ... It is the lack of direct anti-enemy means that some people are hesitant ... And Goddess of the Night church has a high probability of not having "sequence" after that ... "Sacred Hall" should refer to church headquarters Church of Tranquility ... low sequence ’s direct fire against the enemy may not be comparable to firearms ... Klein fell silent, the balance in his mind swayed left and right, sometimes Inquisitor of Secrets, sometimes Divinator, as for Corpse Collector, he had not considered.

At Dunn Smith, I smiled and said:

"don't choose too fast, Monday morning tell me the answer, no matter which one you want to choose, or plan to give up directly, there will be no additional views inside our Night Watcher."

"Calm down and ask your own soul."

After finishing, he took off his hat, bowed slightly, and walked slowly over Klein to the stairwell.

Klein did not speak, did not immediately give an answer, silently saluted, silently watched.

Although he had been hoping to become Extraordinary all the time before, he was full of hesitation when the opportunity really came before him: the lack of "sequence", all kinds of "Extraordinary" out of control, the credibility of the Mister Russell Great Emperor diary , Illusory whispers that make people crazy and depraved, mixed together into a swamp that hinders the advance.

He took a deep breath, slowly spit out again.

"A student who is as good as not bad is filling in the college entrance examination ..." Klein laughed at himself, calmed his divergent thinking, opened the door quietly, returned home, and lay down on the bed.

He lay there with his eyes open, and quietly looks at was stained with a faint blush under the bed.

The drunkard stumbled past the window, and a horse-drawn carriage drove fast on the empty street in the distance. This kind of noise did not destroy the tranquility of the night, but made it more distant and deep.

Klein's emotions settled down, remembered all the past on the earth, remembered the father who likes to exercise and always speak loudly, remembered the mother who has chronic diseases but likes to be busy for herself, remembered from childhood A piece of best friend who grew up and evolved from playing football and basketball together to rubbing mahjong in the game, remembered the confession of the confession who had blurred the appearance ... These are like the quiet and flowing river, there are not many ripples, and they are not too sad. , But drowned silently.

Perhaps only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it. When the blush faded, the sky was burning, and the golden color appeared, Klein had already made a choice.

…………

He got up and went to the public bathroom to wash his face and refresh himself. Then he took 1shilling banknotes and went to Mrs. Wendy to buy 8 pounds of rye bread for 9 pence to supplement the staple food he ate last night.

"The price of bread started to stabilize ..." After breakfast, Benson made a comment while changing clothes.

Today is Sunday, he and Melissa finally got the chance of rest.

The Klein, who had been wearing a formal suit, sat on a chair, turned over the expired newspaper that looks at brought back yesterday, and said with surprise:

"There are advertisements for house rentals: northern district Windle Street3, single-family house, a total of two floors, six rooms upstairs, three bathrooms, two large balconies, a dining room downstairs, a living room, a kitchen, two A bathroom, two rooms, and an underground storage room ... Outside the house, there is a private lawn of 2 acres in front, and a small garden in the back, which can be rented for one, two or three years, with a weekly rent of 1 £ 6shilling, if you are interested, please go to Champagne Street16 and find Mr. Gu Xuefu. "

"This is our future goal." Benson put on a black half-height top hat and said with a smile, "House rents in newspapers are on the high side, 'Thengen House Improvement Company' has cheaper options that are not much worse than them."

"Why not go to the 'Thengen Labor Class Housing Improvement Association'?" Melissa took the worn yarn cap and changed the stitching several times, but it was still the best off-white light long dress with take action from the compartment. Came out.

She is quiet and restrained, but it is hard to hide her youthful breath.

Benson laughed:

"Who did you hear about the" Thengen Labor Class Housing Improvement Association "? Jenny? Mrs. Rocher? Or your good friend Selina?"

Melissa glanced next to his eyes and replied in a low voice:

"Mrs. Rocher ... just happened to meet her when she was washing last night. She asked Klein about the interview. I probably said something, and then she suggested looking for the 'Thengen Working Class Housing Improvement Association'."

Benson was also puzzled when he saw Klein, shook his head with a smile:

"This is aimed at the poor. Uh, it ’s an accurate description of the housing associations of the lower classes. The houses they build and renovate are basically shared bathroom types. Only three options are available: one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom Want to continue living in a similar place? "

"'Thengen House Improvement Company' has the same business as them, but also provides the middle and lower class with the opportunity to choose. honestly speaking, we are now a little better than the middle and lower class, but worse than the real middle class, not salary The problem is mainly due to lack of accumulated time. "

Klein understands it, put away the newspaper, took top hat, stood up and said:

"then let's set off."

"I remember that 'Thengen House Improvement Company' is in Narcissus Flower Street." Benson said while opening the door. "They are like 'Thengen Labor Class Housing Improvement Association'. They are called '5% charity'. Do you know why?"

"I don't know." Klein raised his walking stick and walked to the side of Melissa.

And the girl with dark hair and soft vest is also followed by nodded.

Benson walks outward:

"The associations and companies that improve housing are established under the influence of Beckland. Their funds have three channels. One is to raise funds from charitable funds, and the other is to obtain them from the government public affairs loan commissioner through declaration. The high-quality loan with an annual interest rate of only 4%. The third is to accept commercial investment. By charging a certain rent, the other party will be given a 5% return each year, so it is called '5% charity.'

thud-thud-thud, the three brothers and sisters went down the stairs and walked slowly to Narcissus Flower Street. They planned to find the house before looking for the current landlord Mister Frank, so as to avoid the situation where they could not stay there and had to move away.

"I listen to Selina, and what kind of pure charity improvement housing company?" Melissa said as if thinking.

Benson laughed:

“Yes, the‘ Dweyer Trust Company ’established by Sir Dweyer donation is that he builds apartments for the working class and provides specialized property management, but only charges very low rents, however, the requirements are very strict.”

"Sounds like you don't like it too much?" Klein perceived it sharply and asked with a smile.

"No, I respect Sir Dweyer very much, but I think he certainly does not know what the life of the real poor looks like. The requirements for his apartment are like the hope given by the pastor, which is too unrealistic. For example, you must get the main vaccine, you must Cleaning the washrooms in turn, ca n’t sublet the house or use it for business, ca n’t throw litter, ca n’t let the children play in the corridor, Goddess, does he want to turn everyone into a gentleman and a lady? ”Benson uses his usual Answer in tone.

Klein frowned and wondered:

"It doesn't sound like any problems, it's a good request."

"Uh." Melissa nodded in agreement.

Benson glanced over his head and glanced at them, laughed:

"Maybe I have protected you so well that I have never seen the life of the poor. Do you think they have the money to get the main vaccines? Free charity medical organizations can line up for three months."

"Do you think their work is stable, not temporary? If you can't share the house for rent, charge a certain fee, and move out again when you are unemployed? And many women at home sew up clothes and paste Matchbox to maintain livelihood, this is a commercial application, could it be that want to drive them all out? "

"Most of the poor are exhausting all their energy to maintain their lives. Do you think they will have time to discipline their children and prevent them from playing in the corridors? Probably only lock them in the house until 7-8 years old, just Send to places willing to accept child labor. "

Benson does not describe it with many adjectives, and Klein sounds a little creepy.

This is the life of bottom level people?

Beside him, Melissa also fell into silence, and after a long time, he said indistinctly:

"After moving to the street, Jenny did not want me to go to her house to find her ..."

"I hope her father can come out of the shadow of injury and find a stable job again, but I have seen too many drunks who have paralyzed themselves with alcohol since then ..." Benson snorted heavily.

Klein did n’t know what to say. Melissa seemed to be in the same state. The three brothers and sisters walked to Narcissus Flower Street without words and found "Thengen House Improvement Company".

The smiling middle-aged was responsible for receiving them. They were not wearing formal attire, hats, white shirts, and black vests.

"You can call me Skutt, don't know what kind of houses do you need?" He glanced at the silver cane in Klein and smiled more and more warmly.

Klein looked at Benson, who is good at eloquence, and indicated that he would answer.

Benson spoke very directly:

"Townhouses."

Skutt turned over the documents and files in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were raised:

"There are five places that have not been rented yet. To be honest, we are more focused on real housing difficulties, six, eight, or even ten, 12 workers and their children crowded in a room There are not many houses in the row, one is in 2 Narcissus Flower Street, one is in northern district, and one is in eastern district ... the weekly rent ranges from 12 to 16shilling, you can look at the specific introduction. "

He pushed the documents in his hands to Benson, Klein and Melissa.

Browse it once, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other and pointed to a location on the paper.

"Let's look at 2 Narcissus Flower Street first." Benson said, Klein and Melissa followed and nodded.

The neighborhood is barely a familiar area.
