Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Church of Saint Samuel, inside the Great Prayer Hall.
The bishop with short black hair looked away, no longer looking at the middle-aged gentleman in front of the dedication box, nor did he have the idea of talking in the past.
Here, in front of the altar, he represents church, under the watchful eye of Goddess, it is impossible to treat it enthusiastically because whoever gives more.
However, he remembered the opponent's pretty good looks and mature elegance. He planned to meet him if he had a chance in the future.
Since the last banknote of looks at slipped into the offering box, Klein closed his eyes and turned away from there.
When passing the preaching bishop, he glanced at the cleric intentionally, smiling nodded.
The bishop returned with a warm smile and tapped clockwise four times on his chest.
Klein did not rush to contact the relevant personnel, so that his behavior was logical, and there was no doubtful abruptness. He calmly and freely passed a believer sideways, and walked back to the aisle where he just sat. Position, put on a hat and walking stick, and walked out of the church step by step.
At this time, the believers who listened to the sermon either went to the offering box to express their hearts, or got up and left without feeling any problems, because this is not a compulsive act.
Even devout devotees who donate money do n’t throw money into the offering box every time they come here. They often do it once or twice a week or two, depending on the specific circumstances of the family.
The civilian class is about a few pence at a time, the middle class is three to five shilling, and the rich and nobles are counted as gold pound, not more than 100.
This is the general situation. Every year on the "Goddess of the Night" sacrificial day, that is, "Winter Ceremony's Day", the amount of a single dedication will expand a lot. The rich and wealthy civilians will choose two to three shilling, the middle class is about 5 pounds People in the upper classes directly donate to the church bishop and the church charity, ranging from hundreds of pounds to thousands of pounds.
—— "Winter Ceremony's Day" refers to the longest day of night each year, which is considered the birthday of "Goddess of the Night".

Out of the church, Klein was standing on the edge of the square outside, nothing but looks at flocks of white pigeons flew up and circled down.
He even bought some food in the hands of surrounding hawkers and fed the pigeons leisurely. He didn't plan to read the newspaper ads himself to find a suitable house for northern district, because this was the task of the housekeeper.
An excellent housekeeper who has lived in Beckland for many years should know the different nobles, different wealthy people, and the top middle class who can help their masters, and roughly what blocks they live in, so they can choose their homes purposefully.
Interaction between neighbors is the first step for newcomers to enter the corresponding circle!
"Whether it is the Carleton club gathered by the Conservative Party bosses, the Liberal Club of the New Party, and the various active or retired officer clubs representing the military, there must be enough introduction people to contact ... Hey, Kingdom Now it is the so-called club politics. "Klein took his thoughts back and thought about what to do after the act of feeding pigeons to create persona.
After careful thinking, he found that he really had nothing to do immediately because the plan was still at outer layer.
So, he is going to enjoy an expensive but hearty lunch, which is not only the behavior that Dawn Dantes should have, but also the curiosity of Klein itself.
In the months before Beckland, he never found the courage to visit some of the most prestigious restaurants in this metropolis. He has been in his own restaurant, Klag Club buffet restaurant, street restaurant, Lawyer Jurgen's home restaurant room Choose one of the four, sometimes go to eastern district, and settle for breakfast or lunch in a cafe that looks greasy.
"La Borre restaurant? Their chef is said to have come from the Earl Hall home, providing rich people, great lawyer, and senior government employees with noble flavors that are usually difficult to contact ... Earl Hall seems to have invested in this restaurant, Occupy a lot of shares ... Well, this main Beckland local dish, desserts are very famous, the price is very unfriendly ...
"Intis Serenzo restaurant, here has the most authentic Intis dishes, huh, many of the signature dishes in the name of Mister Russell, said that it came from the palace of Emperor ... And, it does not Like most restaurants of the same level, only a few main dishes are available for selection every day, and the variety is very rich ... "Klein recalled the information of top restaurants that I saw in newspapers and magazines before, and finally decided to see Great Emperor's palace dishes.
No longer staying, he stopped a carriage and went to the Intis Serenzo restaurant in western district.
At the door, Klein handed his coat, hat, and cane to a waiter in a red vest, and asked the other party:
"Is there still space available? I have no reservations."
"Yes." The waiter in the red vest was not strange, and asked humbly, "Sir, are you the first time to come? Is you the only one?"
Klein nodded calmly and smiled:
"Yes."
"Then I have the honor to give you introduction the most distinctive dishes and famous wines in our restaurant?" The waiter in the red vest said while guiding customers in.
"This is exactly what I need." Klein saw the wall that seemed to be reflecting the golden light through the ornate door.
At this moment, he seems to be in a vault.
He then noticed the oil paintings hanging on the walls, marble statues placed in suitable places, and gold objects inlaid or embellished in different places.
“Please pay attention to your feet.” The waiter in the red vest reminded him, and led Klein to the window, and the beautiful melody of the violin came from the distant band.
The waiter fetched the menu and wine list and turned looks at introduction:
"The most famous dishes we have here are Braised Dagya Beef Short Ribs, Black Truffle Boletus, Intis-style Foie Gras. I would like to mention that the raw material for foie gras comes from Nas Farm in Champagne Kingdom of Intis ... … "
Klein listened to the waiter introduction while browsing the menu written in Ancient Fusac language, and was attracted by the price above.
After talking about main courses, appetizers, desserts, etc., the waiter turned to explain some of the wine mix, and finally said:
“The champagne, red wine, and white wine here are all from famous wineries in the Champagne province, and even include the Aurmir red wine produced in 1330. It is worth 126 pounds. If you buy it, you can take it directly and it can exist. Here we come, have a drink every time. "
126 pounds ... I can all hire an excellent butler ... haha ... Klein smiled very gracefully:
"Your dishes and wine are excellent, making it difficult to choose."
The waiter in the red vest smiled diligently:
"You can choose today ’s chef recommendation, our chef will match you a pure and delicious Intis meal, it has three options of 15 pounds, 10 pounds, 8 pounds"
I do n’t want to choose any of them ... Klein smiled back slightly:
"15 pounds."
"Okay." The waiter in the red vest put away the menu and wine list and walked towards the back kitchen.
Klein took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, looking forward randomly.
Suddenly, he saw a slightly familiar figure, a lady in an olive-green dress.
She's tall, in excellent proportions, wearing an old-fashioned black soft cap, the fine gauze draped down, covering her face.
As a Faceless Man, Klein has a strong ability to distinguish the shape and characteristics of human race, and instantly recognized who this lady is:
Queen of Mysteries, the eldest daughter of Great Emperor Russel's, Bernadette Gustav!
He did not rush back his gaze, and naturally looked away. Bernadette seemed to be aware of the abnormality and disappeared into the stairs,
How could she appear here? By the way, the signature of this restaurant is Great Emperor Russel's palace cuisine, oh, it is not the partial Chinese style I imagined. Great Emperor should not cook, at most explain the concept, there are indeed stir-fried dishes here ... Well, the owner behind could it be that is her ? She is not floating on the sea, what come to Beckland, have you already found Hero Bandit Dark Emperor? Klein sat calmly on the surface, one doubt after another.

At this time, above the street, a carriage was driving towards the Intis Serenzo restaurant.
The Alan Kreis family is sitting in the car. This well-known surgeon is a member of Klag Club and a friend of Sherlock Moriarty. He once commissioned great detective to handle the Will Ascetin incident.
Since his wife became pregnant, he feels that his luck has become quite good, his career is getting better day by day, his income is more than one month in January, and he has recently successfully completed the Syndras ’s visceral surgery to get this new nobleman. Appreciation, invited their family to Serenzo restaurant for lunch.
"It is said that the ice cream inside is very good." Alan smiled politely to his wife.
His wife is a dark-haired beauty, and her belly is already obvious. Wen Wan smiled:
"I look forward to Great Emperor Russel's palace dishes even more."
Alan un'ed, looking sideways out of the window:
"Almost here."
As soon as his voice fell, his wife covered her stomach and frowned:
"It hurts a little."
It ’s not the first time that the father ’s Alan hastily checked, and no problems have been found, but his wife is getting more and more uncomfortable.
"I, I still do not go, I want to go home rest." Alan's wife offered to offer.
Alan thought about it:
"I will go back with you."
He immediately ordered a close-fitting male servant:
"You get off here, go to the restaurant and apologize to Baron Syndras for me."
When the carriage started to return, Alan's wife's discomfort was relieved inexplicably. After entering the house, everything was normal.
She pointed to her belly with tears and laughed and said to her husband:
"It seems that he does not want to eat ice cream."
Ah! In the Intis Serenzo restaurant, Klein, who had not missed every previous food, enjoyed ice cream with distress and satisfaction. The nose was a little itchy on the way, the paper was pulled out, and a sneeze.
