Chapter 2: The Whale, a Lucky Omen (10/62)

Hundreds of meters away, Donald still saw the behemoth that appeared on the sea, only a small part of the whale's blue-black body appeared on the sea, a short breath, accompanied by a strange jet sound, a huge column of water rushed up from the sea, and then turned into a sky of water droplets back to the sea.

"It's unbelievable, it's so shocking I've seen whales less than three times in the last few years, they often appear in the open sea, and rarely get close to Dmingham, Mr. Grant, I have to say that your luck is really good, it's a pity that I didn't see the whale flicking, it's a pity. ”

The whale only appeared for about a minute before disappearing into the sea with the cheering whistle of the surrounding cruise ships, and Merlin honked his horn excitedly while turning back to share his excitement with Donald.

"Whale flicking?"

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Donald can swim, but he has never seen the sea a few times, let alone this sea monster that he only saw in the video in his previous life, and at this moment a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead and nose.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that in Dmingham, whale flicking is a sign of luck, and whoever sees it will have a good time for the rest of his life! ”

With the engine back on and the ship moving on, Merlin did not look back this time, but looked ahead and told Donald about the customs of Dmingham and the city.

During his time at sea, Donald also decided where he would settle - Tallinn.

According to Mailin, Tallinn is home to many colleges and all kinds of ordinary companies, and the business development is relatively good, although it is not as good as the Wangque District, but it is enough for these people, and the Xialin District is the residence of many entertainment industries, the most representative of which is the paper Jinwei.

That's right, Donald didn't understand what it meant at first, but later learned that it was the red light district after various subtle hints from Merlin.

That's how Donald defines it, and the world doesn't call it that way.

Donald didn't come to Dmingham for fun, he still had a lot of things to do, and it was okay to go shopping once in a while, if he lived around there all day, Donald was confident in his restraint, but there was no need to test himself all day, and the experience was not so experienced.

As the ship moved on, Donald was finally able to take a closer look at the island city of Demmingham, and the first stop by boat from the station was Tallinn and Summerwood, the two islands were separated from each other, although they were islands, but from this side Donald saw not a beach or a grove.

It's not a tourist city, and it's only when you enter it that you find that the architecture of these two districts is so rugged and magnificent.

The foundations of the island, made of giant rocks and steel supports, surround the districts of Charlin and Tallinn, and the exposed rock walls alone are nearly 5 meters high, which means that if Merlin's ships want to see the city after entering Dmingham, even if the river is wide enough, they still have to look up slightly.

Donald's eyes first saw the mottled stone wall that had been beaten by the waves for an unknown number of years, and then saw a series of iron guardrails, behind which was a tall building with brown walls, the architectural style was very different from that of Preston City, the cornices and corridors were invisible, and the wooden structure was nowhere to be seen.

Cold-hard lines, rough boulders, and a mix of reinforced concrete, high-rise, multi-storey buildings, spires are still present and becoming more common.

If the city of Pston is a township, it is the representative metropolis of this era, with remarkable rigor and efficiency everywhere.

But it should not be considered oppressive, in fact this feeling only appears when he first enters the river channel in the middle of the two urban areas, and when Donald's gaze gradually widens, he soon sees the steel bridge between the two city islands and the hollow staircase that appears in the center of the stone wall and the dozen or so wide stone shores extending out, these flat stone banks are surrounded by metal and iron dwarf posts for ordinary ships to quickly test the ropes, as evidenced by the large number of ships moored on both sides.

"Do you see the wide staircase? We're going to stop there later, it's a port where small boats like ours are moored, there are several ports like Tallinn, you want to go to other islands, if you don't want to take a car to go from above, taking a boat is a very good choice, I heard that the public train on the sea is about to be tested recently, you may want to try it then." ”

Merlin controlled the ship to approach the rocky shore, and when he stopped, he picked up the iron chain that had been hanging on the side of the ship and locked it around the iron low post, Donald subconsciously stood up, first walked to the pedal at the stern, and then walked forward to the stone bank, which was how he had boarded the boat at the ferry.

With Finger in his arms and a suitcase, Donald looked at the crowd in front of him, the wide rocky shore that came into contact with the sea, and walked forward with some abruptness.

Walking across the outstretched stone bank, stepping on the stairs up one step at a time, on both sides were crowds of people dressed similarly to him, and walking about three flights of stairs before it really counted as landing in the city.

What appeared in front of Donald was a metropolis in the true sense of the word, with wide and neat streets, buildings on both sides that were often ten or twenty meters high, cars and carriages coming and going on the street, pedestrians in groups of three or five, some walking in a hurry with satchels or suitcases, and some sitting on tables and chairs behind the seaside fence, holding tea and drinks, looking at the sea in the distance.

Donald stood for a long time, just as he had come out of the sewers of Pston and seen those strange buildings, and now he was once again confused.

Simply following the others, Donald casually found a few people who were supposed to know each other and followed them into the city.

He didn't deliberately listen, nor did he deliberately look, but walked aimlessly, and his mind was constantly thinking.

What is the most urgent thing to do?

Find a place to settle down, come to this city, you must first have a place to live, and you still have more than 30 gold pounds on you, it is estimated that it is not enough to buy a house here, and even if you buy one, the money is exhausted, what should you do in other aspects?

The production of talent potions is on the agenda, the inscription notes have been seen a lot on the train, and the moonlight ink also needs to be improvized.

I knew I had asked Sir for some financial help

"Sir, buy a newspaper, for all the good and bad things lately have been on it, one penny a copy. ”

As he walked forward, a young man with a wooden box in his hand came up to him, the open wooden box was placed on his chest, and a cloth bag was hung around his neck to share the weight, and the box was filled with various types of newspapers.

"I want this economic newspaper,"

Donald paused, swept his gaze, put 1 penny in the wooden box, and picked up a copy of the Economic Newspaper.

"A new mechanical work, Lenny Machinery Company has another major invention!"

The newspaper headline was accompanied by a black-and-white photograph of a man standing next to a humanoid automa, thumbs up, and a smile on his face.

The whole page seemed to say that Lenny Machinery had invented a new mechanical appliance or something, but Donald couldn't read it, and quickly turned the page, and he bought the newspaper for the contents on the back.

The Economic Newspaper often has a page dedicated to job openings and rentals, both of which are what he needs at the moment.

"Introduce yourself. ”

Behind a desk with some delicate mechanical equipment, a middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses holds an evaluation form and looks at the candidate.

"My name is Donald Grant, I'm from Pston, North Hackshire, and I've been out of university for half a year. ”

Donald sat in his chair and Finger walked back and forth between his legs, yes, he had come to apply for a job, and his goal was the Royal DeLoring University in Tallinn.

Don't get me wrong, he's not arrogant enough to feel like he's qualified to be a teacher, he's just a teaching assistant.

The newspaper said that this work package includes food and housing, and the working hours are very free, and he works in the university, and it will be much more convenient to consult something, and he is tempted.

"Psyche, Psychton, North Hackshire, if I remember correctly, it should be the Diocese of Justice, and what course did you study at university?"

"Religious Studies. ”

"Religion?"

The middle-aged man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and Donald thought to himself that it was probably no fun, and he knew that he should talk about individual majors.

This is a zone of freedom of faith, under the control of the empire, although religion exists, but it is not compatible with the university, the royal Delorring is a university that cultivates talents for the empire, although the teaching assistant is equivalent to the task of doing chores around the professor, but a person with a religious background is likely to have some ideological problems in the eyes of the other party.

As expected, the other party quickly dismissed him with a few words, Donald's mood was not lost, this was just an attempt, in fact, he didn't believe that he could succeed, his level of knowledge was to be judged by the standards of this world and not count demonic knowledge, he might not even be able to compare with those young people who had just entered college.

"Finger, go for lunch, this is an island on the sea, there must be a lot of seafood, don't eat indiscriminately!"

Donald was about to go to a seafood feast, and when he turned around, he saw Finger next to him as if he had swooped down on something, possibly a butterfly or other flying insect, and hurriedly ran over.

Meow~

Finger still listened to Donald's words, and obediently spat out what was in his mouth, which was a small metal ball.

"What is this?"

The small ball in his hand is hollowed out, and there is a small white ball inside, the workmanship is quite exquisite, it may have been thrown away by others, Donald looked left and right and wanted to find a place to throw it.

Just as he was about to make a move, the small ball inside suddenly began to tremble violently
