villa.

Zhong Shenxiu returned to the study and ordered the butler Old Brown: "Go and prepare an apartment, be quiet and have good security. A young lady will move in soon and prepare a sum of cash for her to use."

“Your will be implemented.”

Old Brown bowed, stepped out, and brought the door.

Half a minute later, Zhu Qingliu's figure appeared in the illusion, staring at the direction where the old butler left: "He is trustworthy?"

She thought that the other party might be the pagan developed by Li Wei.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a tacit understanding and wouldn't even ask.

"No...he just thought, I want to keep a mistress..."

Zhong Shenxiu shrugged and said, "Living alone, beautiful women, occasionally need a secret meeting... No one will believe it if he is not a mistress, but this is very common in Carleston and is not worth paying attention to..."

Zhu Qingliu suddenly wanted to cut off this disgusting Westerner with one sword.

Their ideas and their thoughts are simply disgusting.

However... I thought that the other party easily took her hair away just now, I forced myself to endure it.

"Very good, calmness is a must-have quality for successful people."

Zhong Shenxiu applauded: "You make me feel that my investment can achieve a bumper harvest."

"What do you want?"

Zhu Qingliu took a deep breath, finally calmed down and asked solemnly.

This Westerner actually rescued her at the risk of being wanted by a kingdom, and the goal would be big!

"cooperate!"

Zhong Shenxiu smiled and said, "It was intelligence at the beginning, and there might be some joint actions in the future, well... it is targeted at the Kingdom of Clement."

This is actually a lie.

He just casually sponsored a few monks whom he liked.

The more they make a fuss here, it is obviously a kind of rear combat, which may be of some help to the Yanhan battlefield.

Of course, it's just a little bit.

"Which god do you believe in?"

Zhu Qingliu asked again.

She was still worried that the other party was pretending to be an enemy of the Kingdom and wanted to induce her to explain the possibility of more people behind her.

"A secret being, you will not know His name for now."

Zhong Shenxiu smiled and said, "I know you still have vigilance and doubts in your heart, but time will prove everything..."

...

The Kingdom of Clement uses a special new calendar, and every major event that affects the country changes the year.

For example, it is the era of falling stars. 27 years means that 27 years have passed since the last huge meteor fell.

Recently, there is a debate in the parliament that a new year will be adopted next year, called the Year of the Black Fog Dissipation!

In a trance, several months passed.

While studying the book "Sacrificial Rites" and transforming some rituals directed to the "Lord of Shenxiu", Zhong Shenxiu occasionally had a mistress, cough, no, it was Zhu Qingliu, the female sword cultivator who now called Anna, maintained a tryst for several weeks.

The female cultivator was still alert to him. She only contacted him alone every time, but some information had been leaked.

For example, she was not the only one who lurked in.

After suffering a lot of losses, through some of the mysterious knowledge and intelligence seized, they quickly adapted to the anti-divination battle, which had become difficult enough and fewer people were caught.

But Zhong Shenxiu knew that it was just that they were not dangerous enough.

Otherwise, if the Kingdom uses a truly powerful curse object, or directly takes action by a demigod-level extraordinary person, he may suffer another heavy blow.

Now both sides only contact Zhu Qingliu, which is a good firewall.

This day.

At breakfast.

Zhong Shenxiu was cutting pork sausages while looking at the newspaper.

In addition to some advertisements and ordinary things, the biggest content is to describe the battlefield news about the East.

As the official mouthpiece, it obviously does not reveal any defeat or how much it is lost.

Everything described looks like a cluster of flowers, as if the kingdom has already achieved victory after victory in the ancient East.

But smart people can read some bad taste from it.

"This style of our side's annihilation of 100,000 enemies and successfully transforming... is really familiar..."

Zhong Shenxiu put down the newspaper and sneered inwardly.

It seems that the Kingdom of Clement has suffered a defeat in the East, and the Lightning Corps may have been wiped out.

Because behind the newspaper, various strategic materials are rising prices rapidly.

The mobilization and system of a total war are profoundly affecting everyone's life.

"Master... Due to the news, Carleston will implement a rationing system, so I want to apply for a sum to purchase the corresponding daily necessities reserve."

Old Brown stepped forward and whispered.

"Yes, I'll give you a thousand pounds to buy food, medicine, coffee, wine... Well, add another thousand pounds to the budget, we still need guns..."

Zhong Shenxiu pretended to think for a while and replied happily.

"After all... if the rationing system is really implemented, the food prices on the black market will fly to the sky..."

...

After breakfast, he watched Old Brown lead a young man dressed in a maid dress while enjoying the coffee that was supposedly royal.

"Mr. Li Wei..."

John saluted smoothly, and it can be seen that he had practiced this movement many times.

"Congratulations on your successful graduation, John."

Zhong Shenxiu put down the coffee cup and asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied with this job?"

"Thank you, sir, for saving me from the heavy labor work at the dock..."

John answered very appropriately: "I have no extravagance."

"Then... I still lack a personal male servant around me, so you will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be." Zhong Shenxiu said indifferently.

John suddenly looked up and saw Old Brown's unsurprising eyes and the jealous eyes of several male servants.

The personal servant must be the master’s confidant!

They can be entrusted with important tasks and may even be promoted to the butler's deputy, or real butler.

This is a position that all servants who are determined to climb up must fight for!

Zhong Shenxiu also felt that if he had never had a personal male servant, he would look very strange and alternative in his social circle.

So I just ordered a pleasing one.

"Sir... Although I have only completed the junior course, I will try my best to study hard."

John's voice was a little louder unconsciously.

"The workplace taboo... Don't say that you will study hard, why do others spend time teaching you? Instead of teaching someone to learn, why don't you hire a skilled person directly?"

Zhong Shenxiu took a sip of coffee: "Now...go to organize my study!"

"OK!"

John, who found out that he was saying the wrong thing, quickly bowed and stepped back to the study room, tidied up the somewhat messy desk.

Immediately, he saw a book that seemed to have a very antique flavor, lying quietly on the table. With his poor vocabulary, he could only barely recognize the meaning of "sacrificial sacrifice".

‘A book involving mystery?’

John was moved, but he didn't dare to read it, so he could only place the books one by one back to their original positions.

When cleaning the desk, he could also see some spread out white paper recording the owner's essays.

‘Most of the sacrifices…the subjects are very problematic…must be chosen carefully…’

‘The four righteous gods are the best objects…but there are too many people praying to them and may not be able to receive a timely response…’

‘In addition to the four righteous gods, there are too many dangerous guys in the secret existence... So, how to distinguish dangers? Find the most trustworthy object?’
