Mysterious Tribulation

Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, Aaron looked as usual, and continued to chat with Clark Das for a while, and even got the other party's business card.

He looked at the address in his hand and decided to visit later.

I'm really sorry, because I just settled here and the new business card hasn't been printed yet...

Aaron explained to himself again.

It's okay, I'm looking forward to Mr. Yoggs' visit.

Clark Dass laughed.

Aaron's pseudonym now is Aaron Yoggs.

The three entered the introduction office while chatting.

Three gentlemen, what kind of service do you need... We have the best housekeeper, the most beautiful maid, and the manservant as strong as a cow...

A fat manager with a shiny face immediately greeted him.

Clark frowned suddenly.

Aaron, who has recently made up for this knowledge, knows that some real housekeepers come from upper-class families themselves, and have also attended specialized training schools, which are separate from ordinary servants.

Moreover, even ordinary male and female servants are divided into chief servants, personal servants, chief maids, personal servants, maids who manage kitchen utensils, and the lowest level of starching servants, chores servants and so on.

This fat guy looks very unprofessional.

But after all, Green Forest is not the capital of Invis, and it can't be too demanding.

This gentleman and I each need a maid.

Clark introduced.

No problem, I'll go get the information right away.

The fat manager smiled and was about to walk into the stairs when his expression suddenly changed: Sylvia, who allowed you to come here?

Aaron looked over and saw a plainly dressed woman in her twenties with thin cheeks, pleading with a sobbing voice at any time: Manager Wright, please, give me a job...

This era is basically a weekly salary, because ordinary people have a problem even buying food for the next day. Once they don’t get a salary for a week, they may starve to death and freeze to death, let alone save money.

Therefore, wages must be paid on a weekly basis.

Once you lose your job, you are in a very dangerous situation.

I used to be so kind and kind, I didn't mind that you were fired by your previous employer, and I introduced you to another job, but it wasn't two months before you screwed up...

Wright shook his head, refused firmly, and said to the three of Aaron: Three gentlemen, please avoid her, that is an ominous woman, she has caused misfortune in her body, after being fired by the first employer, in the third There are also frequent incidents between the two employers...

No one will give a third chance to such a maid.

Aaron glanced at Sylvia, and intuitively felt that the other party was indeed a little gloomy.

Bruce sighed and looked at Sylvia with pity, knowing that sweatshops or selling his body might be the only way out for him.

Ominous? Interesting!

Aaron suddenly said, I'm working on a purification ritual recently, and I'm in need of an experiment. Maybe I can try her out. How much does it cost to hire her?

Good sir...I...I can do anything...just three shillings a week.

Sylvia hurriedly said.

The shilling is a kind of auxiliary currency of Inves, the coin contains a certain amount of silver, and the exchange rate with the gold pound is about 20 to 1.

Further down, there are copper pennies or 'coppers', 1 shilling can be exchanged for 12 copper pennies.

And in the market, the worst glass of beer in a pub is often worth 1p, and a bag of flour is worth 8 to 9p.

White-collar workers in companies, as well as government employees, housekeepers, and trained elite servants, are often paid in pounds per week.

Three shillings a week is indeed very little.

Mr. Wright, please prepare the contract...

Aaron smiled at the manager.

Ugh……

Wright glanced at Sylvia with a sigh, not knowing whether this woman was lucky or unfortunate.

Although I found a job, this employer doesn't look like a serious person.

Thank you, kind sir!

Sylvia almost cried with joy.

She is unfortunate, and even wakes up every night when she dreams at midnight. She has been unlucky recently. She has either broken dishes or ironed clothes at the new employer's house, and her reputation is already very bad.

Aaron literally saved her from the brink.

The doom-ridden maid... Bruce also stared at Sylvia, hesitating to say anything, but finally said: Aaron, can I watch your purification and exorcism ceremony? I also have a little research on this...

Cough cough!

Clark Dass coughed, and Bruce finally shut up.

Next, Clark browsed the information and selected a well-behaved maid with a weekly salary of 5 shillings. After agreeing on the door-to-door time, the three walked out of the employment agency together.

Looking at no one around, Clark said in a low voice: Don't discuss the occult in public... Bruce, if you can't get rid of this bad habit, you will lose my friendship.

Aaron listened, but felt that the old scholar with a pipe seemed to be implying him too.

why?

He pretended to be a newbie and asked curiously.

Inves seems to be free, but it is actually a country full of secret police... Those secret police are hidden in dark corners, watching everyone, and reviewing every publication. Once they are found guilty, You can even be arrested directly and convicted without trial... For public propaganda of occultism, the first time may be a warning, detention, and a fine, and the second time is imprisonment.

Clark took a deep breath of tobacco and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke.

'It's so strict, the secret police system... It seems that Invis has extremely strict management of wild Beyonders...'

Aaron suddenly understood.

'This Clark, 80% guessed that I was a Beyonder, testing me? And what about Bruce? A friend of his, or an apprentice under observation? ’

He quietly said goodbye to the two of them and returned to his residence.

‘Finally… are you going to get in touch with the world that has developed for thousands of years? ’

Aaron was slightly excited.

For his own safety and combat power, he is still somewhat confident.

In addition to the body of an ordinary person, even if he is only half an Extraordinary at this time, with so many spells and rituals he has mastered, the ordinary Extraordinary in the first and second stages may not necessarily be his opponent.

'Well, we'll go to the showdown another day...'

'But before that, perform a few ritual magics to enhance your strength... and then use divination to determine the level of danger. ’

‘Also… go to the black market to buy firearms, the power of firearms in this era is already good, and it is a little easier to use than the abilities of low-level Beyonders. ’

Aaron carefully planned for the upcoming events.

Then, he went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, returned to his residence to wash up, and fell asleep peacefully, enjoying the joy of sleep.
