927 Chapter 927
A few days later, Jack meets Field again, but in the Monteo district.
Unlike the standard slums of the Clowe district, Monteo is a place of wealthy merchants, thriving with commerce, and after midnight you can see colorful lights and all kinds of signs.
There is also one of the most famous commercial buildings in the city, similar to the department store that makes women crazy as soon as it appears, and it is said that when it first opened, it invited a famous symphony orchestra to perform a song in the open air, which attracted many celebrities.
Jack's clothes had changed, he was dressed in a neat little gentleman's suit, and when he stood there smiling, Field didn't recognize who the other party was, and after walking a long way, he looked around and looked again, and then asked with some confusion, "Have I seen you somewhere?"
"Sir, have you forgotten? We had a pleasant question and answer a few days ago. ”
Jack's clothes came from a store's inventory, and it wasn't known when they would find out when they had lost them.
Many times, no money is not too limited to him, when his spiritual power is cultivated, this world, except for the mysterious unknown, can not pose too much threat to him.
The smile on Jack's face was standard, a standard gentleman's smirk.
The contrast was so great that Field racked his brain to think of who Jack was, the twelve-year-old boy.
I didn't expect to wash my face, the other party looked quite beautiful, like a real little gentleman.
The impeccable behavior of the field did not pay much attention, his father was a merchant, although he himself had learned etiquette since childhood, in the end it was not as attentive as those nobles, and in some respects his eyesight was a little worse.
Unexpectedly, the two of them went to the café and sat down, Field ordered food and drink for Jack as usual, and only felt a little abrupt when he saw Jack's appearance, he should no longer look at it with that kind of sympathetic gaze.
"You've changed so much, I can't even admit it. Field didn't shy away from saying that he was a kid on the other side, as he did with a friend, and he didn't have any scruples.
Jack laughed but didn't say anything, of course he couldn't say how he used mental hints to do such a thing as stealing clothes, and the experience of sneaking in a car was not something to boast about, and his current job was even more difficult to say, from stealing to cheating.
"I was sponsored by a well-meaning gentleman. Because he thought I was his son's illegitimate son, and he took pity on the "father" who died young.
Today's aristocratic bill does not support illegitimate children to inherit certain powers, the old gentleman did not put this matter on the table, and chose to fund it secretly, that was originally a "kind" old gentleman, no one had any doubts about him sponsoring a child, in fact, many children were "funded" by him.
"Oh, that's great. Field was very pleased with Jack, he did not inquire about the gentleman in particular, and was relieved to hear that the other man was a gentleman of great prestige, and he had not had time to explore the filth and filth under the surface glory.
The spoon stirred in the cup, making a slight collision with the wall of the cup, one after another, as if unintentionally, a circle of ripples rippled in the cup, and the white of the milk also became layered, and Field looked at it a few times, his eyes were a little straight.
"What happened to Viscount Scott last time?"
Jack spoke as if he had not done it by accident, there wasn't much to talk about between him and Field, and this was what he wanted to know.
Some unknown force was revealing the tip of the iceberg before his eyes, but it was curious enough for him to know more about the follow-up.
"The butler was not found. "I saw only the body of the old butler, and Wren, who was missing and didn't know what had happened, and the church people took over the matter and didn't let me ask again." ”
"Some people seem to have some special power in their hands. Jack said intently.
He thought of the knight, of the black cloak, of the butler, of the church, of the mystery, of the unknown, of the association.
"Oh, extraordinary, poor people. Field's heartfelt emotion made his voice a little louder, but fortunately, it didn't exceed the normal volume, and there weren't many people in the café at this time, and no one noticed it.
"Why is it pitiful?" asked Jack.
"With great power comes great responsibility, and I have never regretted rejecting the path of the extraordinary, the gifts of the gods are not easy to obtain, my father used to say so, and I think he was right. Field was adamant, as if he himself thought so.
However, if that were the case, he wouldn't have mentioned the word "regret" in the first place.
Jack smiled, as if he had found some secret smile, a little bit of "I see through you".
Without him asking, Field continued: "The abilities they have are too powerful, extraordinary powers, extraordinary desires, if there is no god to restrain them, I don't know what they would do, you haven't seen those serial murderers, many of them are extraordinary, because they need some kind of emotion as material for upgrading, like those vagabonds who are used as experimental materials, it's really..."
The words were condemnations, and the righteous indignation seemed to be audible, but there was a certain glint in Field's eyes, and finally, he said, "If I were extraordinary, I would certainly not do it for my own desires..."
The spoon tapped lightly twice on the wall of the cup, and the crisp sound was like a morning bell and a dusk drum, awakening Field's spirit, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, and was secretly annoyed: "Look at me, what did I tell you, forget those words, those things are not things that children should know, just be an ordinary person, ordinary people are easier to be happy." ”
Perhaps, this is also his comforting words.
Jack laughed a little, didn't ask any more, said that he didn't understand anything just now, and then took a sip of milk, added more sugar, and was a little tired.
The conversation between the two continued for a while, but there was not much to talk about, and Field took his leave, and Jack picked up the newspaper on the table and began to read it unhurriedly, and the waiter came over to add him a glass, and asked him if he needed anything else.
The soft-spoken service was accompanied by a smile, which was very satisfying, Jack waved his hand, refusing anything more, he slowly flipped the newspaper, the taste of humor blended into the sweetness of the cake, he looked at the words that were gradually becoming familiar, and the report on Viscount Scott only took up a few lines, that was already in the past.
All those who belong to the church have become secrets, just like the dusty history, I don't know how much truth has been covered up and distorted by the history books, and future generations can only learn from "history" and "history", and have no way to know the most true past.
"If you want to know more, you need to be more powerful. ”
Jack understands the rules of this world very well, some secrets are only open to the top, as a people at the bottom, just need to know their daily work, think of the knights of the church, their profession - shepherd, this title itself has a certain metaphorical connotation.
If men are like sheep, they should be shepherds for the gods.
The old gentleman Hood also had the title of a viscount, but unlike other nobles, his title was full of coins, and Hood, who had been born in the gang, was also a brave and ruthless lord when he was young, as evidenced by the scar on his face that could not be erased by healing techniques, and almost parted his entire face diagonally, which made him look quite fierce.
When he first became a viscount, no one dared to look at his face, and there was always a delicate lady or lady who fainted because of his face, and later he married the daughter of a down-and-out nobleman, and he stepped into the ranks of the nobles with one foot.
For this reason, the son born to him by his aristocratic wife was of great importance, but unfortunately, his son did not inherit his courage and shrewdness, and died in an accident without a wife.
Hood's aristocratic wife died of grief, leaving Hood to become a famous philanthropist who was more than happy to sponsor the lives and studies of some of his children, as well as a school and several orphanages to his name.
He did his best to provide a better life for these children, but there were always some children who could not bear such "good fortune" and died of illness or accidents.
Jack found this Viscount Hood not because he did a lot of information probing and repeated verification, but because of the toxin in the original body of the sojourner, the cause of which was Viscount Hood, and the other party seemed to be funding some people to conduct a certain research, which required a lot of materials, so there were schools and orphanages for children.
All the time, the city is absorbing a large number of foreign population, and the children who come with it do not know how many, no one counts them, they can't even put their existence on paper, so the reputation of Viscount Hood as a philanthropist is getting better and better, and everyone is praising his contribution to the city, his efforts for the next generation, no one counts, and the dead body is thrown into the wild from one of his hidden estates.
Jack's bloodline can't stand scrutiny, not to mention that he is not a real boy, and now he can disguise himself at a young age, and he will always show clues after a long time, so he used the name of "illegitimate child", a woman with an unbearable background has a child after being favored by a young and frivolous night, which is definitely the most common routine for illegitimate children.
Thankfully, Viscount Hood was not a man with extraordinary powers, he was easily concealed by Jack's mental powers, and he was not a moody person, so his special care for Jack only showed some traces from the butler, and the others did not notice it.
Now, Jack lives in the school under the other party's name, this is a veritable love school, the principal is Viscount Hood's person, the other party always likes to hold charitable donations under various names, Viscount Hood will also invite people to come over, enjoy the students' performances, some students who perform well, will also be "named funding" by others, as if forming a certain trend.
