Chapter 57: The Businessman

Papitt and the doctor walked out of the dark room and into a brightly lit room bathed in sunlight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Blake turned the candlestick on the wall, and the two rows of tall bookshelves gradually closed, and it was impossible to see from the appearance that there was a hole behind it.

"It's a good thing you have such a hidden place in your office, otherwise the kids would have been terrified if they saw a blood-soaked container with a woman. Papitt said to Blake.

Blake smiled: "Don't forget that this was a cathedral before, and the dark room is naturally left by the predecessors. Other places are estimated to have such hidden rooms. I don't know what the clergy built these places for, but they were just right for me to conduct secret research. ”

Not much furnishings in the room. In addition to the old bookshelves that were just crammed with heavy books, there is also a metal cabinet on the opposite wall, which houses some medical equipment and medicines. A rectangular table of mahogany with inkwells, pens, and stacks of papers. The sofa with a peeling skin is placed under the window. Through the windows, you can see the cathedral's cross spire.

This is Blake's office. Because he is not only a doctor, but also the director of the Sunflower Orphanage. And this orphanage was rebuilt on the site of a church.

Papitt came to the window, looked outside and said casually: "It has been so long since the previous King Odin abolished religion, and the cathedral has not been demolished. This in itself is not reasonable. ”

Blake was happy to answer the Duke's son's questions: "There is such a legend. When the army was about to demolish the cathedral, it rained heavily for five days and five nights, and all the sewers were filled with water, and the whole city was paralyzed by water, and the losses were heavy. And then every time people were about to start dismantling it, the sky would instantly become cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily. So the royal family didn't dare to do anything about this place anymore, they were more worried about the city. Since then, it has been considered a cursed area by the Ode. Therefore, the ruins of the cathedral, which are now regarded as a holy place for travel by the provinces, are a symbol of bad luck in the eyes of the Oude people. ”

"There is a story like this, it sounds like a fabrication. Papitt expressed her thoughts.

"It's ridiculous, but thanks to it, I bought the right to use it for a small amount of money. As soon as I got the title deed, I made it a private land, and I charged an entrance fee to anyone who came in and out of the place. At the same time, I also set up a "Cathedral Ruins Tour" project and walked leaflets to various towns in Odin. Of course, the propaganda efforts should also be divided into priorities, and the avant-garde Palos guests are naturally my key propaganda targets. As a result, after a few years, it became a well-known travel destination. Blake said cheerfully. He is trying to show his worth in front of Papitt in order to be appreciated by the other party. He wanted to dissect each other so much.

The way Papitt looked at Blake changed a little, apparently he didn't know that. "I didn't expect you to turn this place into a resort. He took a few steps and picked up a document on the table. He thought it was some kind of permission document, but he saw that it was written "Cemetery Sales Contract". At the seller's place, it is signed "Blake", and next to it is the seal of the director of the Sunflower Orphanage.

"You're in this business besides collecting tickets?" he shook at the doctor.

Blake nodded, "Yes." There is a lot of open space behind the church, and it is perfectly feasible to divide a corner piece as a cemetery. We have about 200 orphans in the orphanage. In addition to them, it is necessary to hire additional teachers, cooks, and handymen. The expenses were not small, and they were a little tight to feed them with church tickets, so they sometimes had to sell some land. You must know that the price of cemeteries in the holy capital has risen sharply recently.

Although the cemetery inside our church is more expensive. But every once in a while, I organize an event to remember the deceased, and ask the children to lay flowers for the people in the cemetery. Many aristocratic wealthy merchants who didn't care about the curse bought a cemetery in advance with me for this. Just imagine, after you die, there will always be lovely children to give you flowers, what a beautiful picture it is. ”

Papitt apparently did not expect Dr. Black to have such a bright mind, and he was surprised for a moment before exclaiming, "I can only say that it is a pity that you do not go into business." ”

Perhaps Blake felt that his cowhide was blowing a little too big, and he was embarrassed to say, "It wasn't all my idea, Mr. Rowan gave me some advice." He's a Pelos, you must know him. The idea of promoting a tour of the cathedral was what he told me. ”

Lowan, a wealthy businessman in Pylos, has a business acumen. From this point of view, it is estimated that the land here was also recommended by Rowan to buy it. Papitt's mind suddenly turned. "I was supposed to come by train with Rowan, but there was a little stubble along the way. Now he should be busy with his business somewhere in the Holy Capital. Do you know Rowan?"

Blake said, "Has he come to the Holy Capital? Oh my God, why didn't he come to me? I've known him since I was in Pelos and we're good friends. When he knew that I wanted to come to Odejian Orphanage, he promised to be my patron, and he still sends some money from time to time. ”

Indeed, the kind-hearted Rowan didn't care about the money at all.

"Listen to your brother White, you used to be a doctor in Pelos. Why did you suddenly think of coming to Ode to open an orphanage?"

"When I was working as a doctor in Pelos, I overheard that there were many homeless orphans in Oudeh. So I came up with the idea of going to Ode to open an orphanage. Maybe you don't believe it, but it's as simple as that. I'm a doctor and can't stand having children starving to death on the streets, even if they're hated Ode. Blake's words were sincere.

"Please let me show my respect for your good deeds. Papitt bowed slightly. Blake also hurriedly returned the salute politely.

But seriously, Papitt doesn't quite believe Blake's words. It's not that he doesn't trust Blake, it's that Papitt doesn't believe that there really are people in the world who do good deeds like this without expecting anything in return.

The fact that a Pylos can thrive in the Holy Capital speaks for itself.

Papitt made a sudden request: "I want to go and see the children." ”

Blake was enthusiastic: "Of course it's fine. But today is Flower Day. You don't mind if we go around the cemetery. ”
