Mysterious Tribulation

Chapter 85: Maid

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

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

   "I'm really sorry, because I just settled here, the new business card has not been printed yet..."

   Aaron explained another sentence for himself.

   "It doesn't matter, I am looking forward to Mr. Yuggs' visit."

   Clark Dass laughed.

   The pseudonym Aaron uses today is Aaron Yoggs.

   The three of them entered the agency while chatting.

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

   A greasy fat manager greeted him immediately.

   Clark frowned suddenly.

   Aaron, who has recently made up for this knowledge, knows that some of the real housekeepers are from high-class families, and they have also gone to special training schools and are separated from ordinary servants.

   Also, even ordinary male and female servants are divided into chief valet, personal servant, chief maid, personal maid, maid who manages kitchen utensils, and the lowest grade washing maid, chore maid, and so on.

   This fat guy is very unprofessional at first glance.

   But after all, Green Forest is not the capital of Invis, nor can it be too demanding.

   "This gentleman and I each need a maid."

   Clark introduced.

   "No problem, I will get the information now."

   The fat manager smiled and was about to walk down the stairs, his expression suddenly changed: "Sylvia, who allowed you to come over?"

  Aaron looked over and saw a simple-dressed woman in her twenties with thin cheeks, pleading with a sobbing voice: "Manager Wright, please, give me a job..."

   This era is basically a weekly salary, because ordinary people even have a problem 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.

   Therefore, the salary 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 if you were fired by the previous employer and introduced you to another job, but it hasn't been two months before you messed up..."

Wright shook his head, refused firmly, and said to the three Aaron: "Three gentlemen, please avoid her. It is an ominous woman. She was afflicted with misfortune. After being fired by the first employer, she was dismissed by the first employer. Frequent accidents happened to the two employers..."

   Such a maid, no one will give a third chance.

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

   Bruce sighed and looked at Silvia pityingly, knowing that sweatshops or betraying the body might be the only way out for the other party.

   "Is it ominous? Interesting!"

   Aaron suddenly said: "I'm currently studying a purification ritual, and I need an experiment. Maybe I can try it with her. How much salary does it cost to hire her?"

   "Good-hearted sir... I... I can do everything... Only 3 shillings a week will do."

   Silvia quickly said.

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

   At the bottom, there are copper pennies or ‘copper pennies’. 1 shilling can be exchanged for 12 copper pennies.

   On the market, the lowest glass of beer in a bar is often worth 1 penny, and a bag of flour is worth 8 to 9 pennies.

   White-collar workers working in the company, government employees, butlers, and trained elite servants often earn a weekly salary in pounds.

   A weekly salary of 3 shillings is indeed very small.

   "Mr. Wright, please prepare the contract..."

   Aaron smiled and said to the manager.

"Ugh…"

   Wright sighed and glanced at Silvia, not knowing whether this woman was lucky or unlucky.

   Although I found a job, this employer is not very serious.

   "Thank you, kind sir!"

   Silvia was almost crying with joy.

   She has misfortune, and even dreams about it every morning and night, she wakes up from it. Recently, she was even more unlucky. At the new employer's house, she either broke the dishes or ironed the clothes. The reputation is already very bad.

   Aaron simply rescued her from the edge of the cliff.

   "Doom-ridden maid..." Bruce also stared at Silvia, he stopped talking, and finally said, "Aaron, can I watch your purification and exorcism ceremony? I have a little research on this..."

   "Ahem!"

   Clark Dass coughed, and Bruce was silent.

   Next, Clark browsed the information and selected a well-behaved maid with a weekly salary of 5 shillings. After an appointment time was set, the three walked out of the employment agency together.

   Looking around, Clark said in a low voice: "Don't discuss occultism in public... Bruce, if you can't get rid of this bad problem, you will lose my friendship."

   Aaron listened, but felt that the old scholar with a pipe in his mouth seemed to be suggesting him.

"why?"

   He pretended to be a cute new person, and asked curiously.

"Invest seems to be free, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com is actually a country full of secret police...the secret police are hidden in the dark corners, watching everyone and censoring every publication. Once found guilty, they can even be arrested directly and convicted without trial...For publicly promoting occultism, the first time may be warnings, detentions, and fines, and the second time is imprisonment."

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

  ‘Such a strict secret police system... It seems that Invis is extremely strict with the management of wild extraordinary...’

   Aaron suddenly understood.

  ‘This Clark, 80% guesses that I am an Extraordinary, testing me? And what about Bruce? A good friend of his, or an apprentice under observation? ’

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

  ‘Finally...is it going to come into contact with the inner world that has been developed for thousands of years? ’

   Aaron was slightly excited.

   Regarding his safety and combat effectiveness, he is still somewhat confident.

   Except for the extreme body of ordinary people, even though he is only half an Beyonder at this time, with so many spells and rituals he has mastered, ordinary Beyonders in the first and second stages may not necessarily be his opponents.

  ‘Well, I’ll go to the showdown next day...’

  ‘But before that, perform a few ritual magic to increase your strength... and then use divination to determine the degree of danger. ’

  ‘Also... go to the black market to buy firearms. The power of firearms in this era is already pretty good, and it's better than the abilities of low-level Beyonders. ’

   Aaron made plans for recent events in detail.

   Then, he went to a nearby restaurant to have dinner and returned to his residence to wash up. Anran fell asleep and enjoyed the joy of sleep.
