Chapter 522 Tryst (please subscribe)
Snowflakes were falling.
Kerry was wearing a black woolen dress with two rows of copper buttons hanging side by side. He was holding a large black umbrella and holding a thick book under his arm, and knocked on the door of an exquisite villa in the Queens District.
"Mr. Kerry, the little master is waiting for you in the small classroom."
The person who opened the door was a pretty girl wearing a black and white maid dress. She seemed to be very familiar with Kerry and said with a smile.
"OK."
Kerry walked into the villa, and the warm fireplace dispelled the chill, making him yawn unconsciously and feel a little drowsy.
'It's too tiring to work three jobs and take care of my studies at the same time... No, I have to persevere, especially if I can't be rude to the Wharton family, because their family is generous and gives generous rewards. I only hope that before next year, that is, before the beginning of the year when the black fog dissipates, I can collect 80 gold pounds to purchase the mysterious knowledge of [Spirit Boy]...'
Seeing that the man of the house was not around and only one of the maids noticed his yawn, Kerry felt slightly relieved.
He didn't want to be thought of as slacking off at work, so he immediately wiped his face and walked into the small classroom with a full attitude and smile: "Mr. Wharton, good day!"
The boy named Wharton was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, wearing thick fur clothes. He stood up after hearing the words and saluted meticulously, giving people a very stereotyped feeling.
This may be related to the education of his father, a serious military brigadier general.
"Today... let's continue to learn the knowledge of ancient Mysterious Language. Its pronunciation involves mystery and can be used by ordinary people to induce supernatural power. So far, it is still widely used in various secret prayer rituals... Every Every pronunciation must be standard, serious, and concise... Otherwise, if you offend the gods, it may affect your life."
Kerry said seriously.
"I understand..." Little Wharton nodded solemnly.
As an upper-class person living in Queens District, children's education must contain a mysterious part.
What Kerry now teaches is only the most basic text and language content.
I heard that these aristocratic children of the upper class will enter the real mysterious academy to study after the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen. I am really envious...
Kerry, who was already a college student and one of the top intellectuals in the country, sighed in his heart.
Immediately, he saw the maid come in with a tea set and pour out hot coffee.
'Miss Lilia is also a considerate maid, but unfortunately... I definitely can't afford to hire one... It is said that in some aristocratic families, even servants and cooks are proud of being hereditary. Grandpa is the valet and father is. Servant, son or valet...'
Kerry suddenly trembled and took a sip of coffee.
As a tutor for a nobleman, after working for several hours, he was fortunate enough to be invited to enjoy afternoon tea with the hostess of the family, the Brigadier's wife, and Little Wharton.
Seizing this rare opportunity, Kerry, who had not eaten lunch, moved elegantly but quickly to destroy the cream cookies and honey cake...
At this moment, the old housekeeper came quickly and whispered a few words to the hostess.
The commodore's wife apologized gracefully and hurriedly left the conservatory.
Immediately, there were heated discussions and low sobbing outside.
‘It seems that because the Kingdom’s army lost the war in the east, a series of transfers will be made... Mr. Brigadier General may go to the battlefield. Is Madam worried about this? ’
Kerry sighed softly, suddenly feeling that the so-called upper class was not so beautiful.
…
In the study room.
Zhong Shenxiu sat behind the desk with a serious expression on his face, tapping the mahogany tabletop with one hand.
He was thinking about cultivation issues.
After looting Longhu Mountain last time, he got the complete "Taishang Longhu Suppressing Tribulation Sutra" and "Taiyin Refining Chapter". It can be said that all the inheritance of Taishang Longhu Sect is under control, and he can practice all the way. Once you reach the corpse to resolve the immortal, there will be no more problems in the technique.
Of course, the path he has taken has gradually become different from the "Taiyi Dragon and Tiger Unify the True Seal Script Divine Technique". These techniques are only for reference at most.
After such a long period of study and comparison with various classical texts from Xiaoyou Taihuangtian, I finally sorted out all the contents about the four tribulations of the Yuan Shen.
'Although my combat power is comparable to half of the dharma body, my combat power is combat power, and my Taoism is my Taoism... My realm has just broken through to the soul. I have not survived a single calamity. I have to survive four calamities before I can condense the Dharma phase. , practice until the soul is perfect, and try to break through the law body...'
'This Yuan Shen catastrophe is more mysterious than the three golden elixir disasters. It can be a human catastrophe, a heavenly catastrophe, a love catastrophe, a heart catastrophe... all kinds of strange things, often erupting in unexpected places, and even the parties involved can only survive it. To be able to sense and survive a disaster...it's very troublesome. ’
'Even if there are wonderful scriptures to suppress calamities, there are still many people who have fallen to the calamity of the Dragon and Tiger Sect's Yuan Shen in the past...'
'However, my recent study of the Western mystical system has given me another idea. Perhaps I can combine the authority of the Ten Thousand Gates to separate incarnations, or send a second spirit to travel through the world to undergo calamities... Anyway, I am the only one, If they survive the calamity, I will survive the calamity... It can greatly speed up the improvement of Taoism. ’
He gradually had some ideas in his mind, and immediately put on his coat and walked out of the villa.
John opened the carriage door diligently and sat down with the driver.
"Go to Anna's house!"
Immediately, Zhong Shenxiu's voice came from the carriage.
John and the coachman did not show any abnormal expressions. Instead, they tried their best to choose remote routes and avoid crowded places. They were very talented in spy warfare.
‘This feels a bit strange, taking the secretary and driver to have an affair openly? ’
In the carriage, Zhong Shenxiu's expression was a little subtle, but he still had to sigh with emotion at the openness of the people of Clement Kingdom in this regard.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a secluded villa, well, it stopped at the back door.
Zhong Shenxiu got off the carriage and said to the carriage driver: "Pick me up again in an hour. Don't stop here all the time."
The coachman nodded and drove the carriage away.
John consciously stepped forward to knock on the door, and saw Ms. Anna's maid coming over to open the door and welcome the two of them in.
In the living room, Ms. Anna, who had smooth brown hair, green eyes, and skin as smooth as milk, came out.
'What a beauty. No wonder the owner, a traveler, stopped here...'
John glanced vaguely, then lowered his head.
"You're here!"
Anna's calm voice sounded.
"Well, let's go to the bedroom."
Zhong Shenxiu nodded, went to the bedroom with Anna, and closed the thick soundproof door.
‘Ms. Anna is really cold, maybe that’s her personality, and the master is not a gentleman at all. Let’s get straight to the point... Could this be the return to the wild that is highly praised by the upper class? ’
John was still thinking wildly.
At this time, he saw the ordinary-looking but good-looking maid opposite him giving him an unclear look and walked into the guest room next to her: "Master, it will take a long time. Do you want to take a rest? I'm ready." Tea and snacks..."
John understood the other party's gaze immediately, put aside any gentlemanly manners, and quickly followed in: "Yes, I like tea!"
In his heart, he quickly said silently:
‘Praise for the return of the wild! ’
…
In the bedroom, Anna returned to Zhu Qingliu's appearance, her face slightly red: "I want to fire this maid..."
Although the other party thought they were doing it secretly, they didn't know who their master was.
"The other party did not make any obvious mistakes. This is the necessary price for pretending..."
Zhong Shenxiu suppressed his laughter and asked seriously: "You invited me here before. What's the matter?"
"I received a letter, um, a letter... I have to say that the Kingdom's postal system has provided us with a lot of convenience..."
Zhu Qingliu returned to the topic: "We are planning an assassination operation, and the target is Congressman Bohnke!"
