"Then wait, do you want coffee or black tea?" Belin asked enthusiastically.
Klein smiled and smiled:
"When I was young, I liked coffee and loved the strong aroma, but now, I can accept black tea better."
"I also prefer black tea, so ... a cup of marquis black tea?" Belin proposed with a smile.
The "Metropolis Helping Family Servant Association" treats both coffee and black tea of average quality, belonging to the lower middle class. Marquis black tea was brought from home by Belin for your own enjoyment.
Klein is not an uninformed person, and is very good at observing. After getting started, I have incorporated all the details of the surrounding environment into my eyes without traces. I found that the coffee and black tea pots in the display cabinet are very common. I believe The quality of the things inside will certainly not be too high, so he thinks that the Marquis black tea is either the association ’s collection, used to entertain guests, or belongs to the lady in front of her, but in any case, it is enough to explain the other party ’s intentions.
He did n’t debunk and smiled:
"Thank you, I ca n’t refuse your proposal.
"I do n’t know what to call you, ma'am?"
"Belin, call me Belin will be fine." Belin smiled like a flower.
She quickly walked into the room briskly, letting the colleague who was in charge of the material pick out the right person, and then went back to the reception desk, picked up the tin tin can, and made the black tea skillfully.
Hey, he has a good-looking face, a good temperament, a dress that embodies his identity, and even if he is middle-aged, he can feel the goodwill of the beautiful girl ... Klein can't help but sigh for the first time to experience similar things.
This made him more aware of the importance of "only himself" in the Faceless Man code.
If you do n’t remember this firmly, and indulge in the advantages brought by appearance, you will always keep the corresponding appearance, forgetting or even repelling yourself in the past, and gradually get lost!
Soon, Belin came over with a white glazed porcelain teacup with gold flakes and placed it in front of Mr. Dawn Dantes with a smile:
"It needs to be cold for a while."
Klein looked down at the looks at cup and said half-jokingly:
"This just allows me to adjust my mood to treat this cup of black tea more formally."
His implied compliments and gratitude made Belin's mood better, only that Mr. Dantes was a real gentleman and he was very talkative.
He must not be a believer of Lord of Storms ... Belin gathered his long brown curly hair and voluntarily returned to the middle, urging his colleagues.
It did n’t take long for her to come over with a stack of information and sit on the single sofa next to her:
"After screening, there are three suitable housekeepers here, I will first roughly introduction.
"The first one, Mr. Asnia, 55 years old, he once served the Viscount Yorkville, and later because the Viscount failed to invest in mineral exploration, the family financial crisis, had to sell the land manor, sacked a large number of servants and left, this decade Here, he was hired by two rich men successively and made outstanding contributions to the management of their family. "
When speaking, the Belin brown eyes are light, like hiding two stars, with a young girl's unique vigor.
Klein lightly nodded and said:
"Then why did he leave those two rich men?"
Belin smiled and replied:
"The first rich man made a lot of investment in East Balam, the whole family moved in, Mr. Asnia did not want to leave Beckland, so he offered to resign, the second rich man because the situation of healthy body is not too good, all the family affairs It was given to his children, and that gentleman had a more trusted butler.
"Mr. Asnia is a believer in Goddess of the Night, and his political tendencies are more conservative, requiring an annual salary of 130 pounds."
"May Goddess bless him." Klein tapped four times clockwise on his chest and drew a scarlet moon.
Belin said brightly:
"Mr. Dantes, are you also a believer in Goddess?"
"Of course." Klein nodded with a smile, without much explanation.
No wonder it ’s so gentle! Belin secretly praised, continue introduction said:
"Mr. Ribak, 48 years old, once served Negan family, long-term as a deputy butler, butler assistant, and later became a butler of Syndras baron in a transaction.
"Not long after Duke of Negan was assassinated, Mr. Ribak, whose service period expired, failed to obtain a new contract from Mr. Baron and had to seek help from our association.
"He is a lay believer of Lord of Storms. He has no problems with his personality. He is also a Conservative politically inclined party and requires a salary of £ 120."
Klein listened quietly and nodded from time to time, without interrupting the Belin story.
Belin whipped through the paper, glanced at it, and said again:
“The third one, Mr. Walter, 42 years old, worked as a manor deacon and a butler ’s assistant at Viscount Conrad ’s home. Because of some contradictions with the butler, he chose to leave voluntarily. He requested an annual salary of £ 115.
"He is a believer of Goddess of the Night, and his political tendency is the new party."
The new Governor of Olavi Island is a member of the Viscount Conrad family. Their family is a loyal supporter of the royal family ... Klein quickly flashed the corresponding information in his mind.
After introduction is finished, Belin handed out the stack of information:
"Mr. Dantes, which one do you want to choose?"
Klein pondered for a few seconds and said with a smile:
"So, let the three of them arrive at my place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. I will meet with them, have a talk, and finally make a decision."
He knows that similar associations do not provide accommodation, but are purely intermediary agencies. Even if he determines the candidate now, he has to wait until the afternoon or tomorrow to see his butler, so it is better to get a small interview and choose more suitable for himself The one who intended.
"No problem." Belin smiled lightly, "What is your address?"
Klein drank lipstick tea, picked up a pen and paper on the table, and wrote down the current hotel location and name.
"You, have you just come to Beckland?" Belin glanced and asked blurtly.
Until this time, she discovered that Mr. Dawn Dantes had a darker complexion than normal, slightly bronzer, like a long exposure, and a little rough taste.
Well, his accent is not Beckland ... Belin slowly recalled more details.
Klein laughed:
"I came from Disu Bay and was waiting for an excellent butler to help me find the right house and servants."
After paying a deposit of 3 pounds, he politely drank another lipstick tea and got up to say goodbye.
Belin has always sent him outside the door, watching him board the carriage.
Mr. Dantes also seems to be a rich man ... Compared to this, his temperament, his gentleman style, are more attractive ... Belin stands in the same place, thinking freely.
On the carriage, Klein half-closed eyes, leaning against the side wall, it is difficult to contain the next cost:
"The housekeeper is around £ 120. The personal servant takes the median, which is £ 35, the chef is £ 30, the gardener is £ 25, the coachman is £ 25, the home nurse is £ 20, the three normal maids are £ 15, and the three miscellaneous maids are 10. In this way, the annual expenditure for servants alone is 330 pounds, which is slightly equal to 6 pounds 7shilling per week, which exceeds my weekly salary when I was in Thengen City.
"Moreover, there must be a carriage, 100 pounds, a garden house, and a weekly rent of almost 2 pounds, plus such a large group of people's expenses for food, clothing, charcoal, etc., which is exaggerated overall.
"Is this the daily life of a rich man ..."
Klein suddenly regretted making such a persona.
he sighed, trying to put the matter behind him, and take a horse-drawn carriage to Percival Street of northern district.
There is a pure black church with a bell tower on each side, showing a symmetrical beauty. It is the headquarters of Goddess of the Night church Beckland church, Church of Saint Samuel.
Klein managed to lower the handkerchief in his left pocket, took the cane inlaid with gold, stepped into the church, walked through the quiet hallway, and the sunlight pierced through the stained glass reached the large prayer hall.
It's very dim here, and people feel involuntarily calm down. Klein finds a place at will, leans on his cane, takes off his hat, and concentrates on praying with his eyes closed.
Time passed by one minute and one second. After hearing the sermon, he slowly stood up and walked to the altar, saluted the bishop with short black hair, and then came to the dedication box next to him.
silently sighed, Klein took out two 10 pounds and 6 five pounds banknotes, and one by one put them in.
The bishop ’s corner of the eye swept to this scene, and his expression softened involuntarily.
Normally, unless you come home to ask for donations or post-mortem donations, the large sums of money you can receive in the gift box in the church will be dozens of pounds.
This means that the other party is a rich man and a rich person!
