Hurry downstairs.

Zhang Huaisheng did not rush to pick up the sack, but first turned on his ability, and seeing that he was not forcibly banished to another dimension, he slowly approached and tried to find a bag of flour.

However, to his disappointment, the remaining four sacks were also filled with potatoes.

One of the large bags also had a striking line of red letters in English - "The Irish Regional Defence Committee supports the Scottish brothers' supplies." ”

"It's no wonder that it was the Irish aid. Due to the oppression of the British, the Irish were generally poor, and could only use potatoes as their staple food, and could not afford bread at all. And although the British also use potatoes as a staple food, they are not enough to completely replace flour. ”

It is precisely because the Irish people are too dependent on potatoes, a high-yield crop, that in the middle of the last century, Irish potato seedlings were infected by germs and rotted in large quantities in the fields, directly causing a great Irish famine that shocked the world.

How many people died in Ireland in his previous life, Zhang Huaisheng doesn't remember.

But in this world, the books in the library are clearly documented, and Ireland has two million dead people, and the population has plummeted by a third.

It was precisely because of this great famine that the British government not only did not provide relief, but continued to transport the already small rations from Ireland, which completely exposed the fact that they did not treat the Irish as their own people at all, but the population of the colonies.

Even the Ottoman Sultan, who was regarded as a representative of evil by the European powers, couldn't stand it anymore and paid out of his own pocket for 10,000 pounds in relief, only to be asked by Queen Victoria to donate only 1,000 pounds.

Because she was a dignified queen, she also donated two thousand pounds.

"Alas, the poor brothers of Ireland must not have expected that the materials they donated by tightening their belts not only did not reach the poor people of Gael, but appeared on the high-priced black market."

Zhang Huaisheng put the sack back in its place and hurried back to the apartment building - he didn't plan to sleep anymore, but decided to fry himself potato chips with some oil from someone else's house.

It's just that due to the soaring prices during this period of time, the residents in the apartment building may not be able to leave much serious butter, it is estimated that it is artificial, and the taste is much worse.

...

Early morning.

In the barracks of the Scottish Regional Defence Committee, the rebels who had just finished training the Prussian goose step under the leadership of German instructors walked into the canteen in twos and threes.

A military discipline officer wearing a red armband walked into the cafeteria, his brows furrowed suddenly, he strode over, and said condescendingly: "Captain Killian, why didn't you go to training again?" ”

In the corner of the cafeteria, Killian was gulping down his wine.

Hearing this, he slapped the table angrily: "Training? Practice a fart! No matter how accurate the gun is and how standard the goose step is, can we clean up the moths in our team? ”

The military discipline officer's face suddenly changed greatly, he looked around, and saw that no one seemed to notice this, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and scolded: "You don't want to die, can you say this kind of thing?" ”

Killian burped: "So what, they, rats who only dare to play tricks in the gutter, dare to provoke Lao Tzu?" ”

"Alas, you..."

The military magistrate was angry and afraid, snatched the wine bottle from his hand and said, "Don't drink it, you unobtrusive idiot, your niece has come to see you, get out of here for me." ”

"Niece?"

Killian was stunned for a moment, and most of the wine on his face dissipated in an instant, and he repeated again: "Teresa? ”

The military discipline officer said angrily: "Nonsense, how many nieces do you have?" ”

Killian hurriedly got up and walked out of the barracks.

In the seats not far away, the two officers looked grim, and as they talked, they watched Killian's departing back out of the corner of their eyes.

"Got it all figured out?"

"That's right, it's this little report that Killian hits, he seems to have something to do with it, and the report was sent directly to the Supreme Council, and our people can't stop it at all."

"What is his background?"

"He has a niece who is a nun in the congregation, and her teacher is a priest."

"Plague Priest?"

The officer's eyes were clouded: "Forget it, when it comes to the people of the order, it's not up to us to decide, so let's report to the top." ”

...

At the gate of the barracks.

Killian looked at Teresa, who was dressed in black robes and wrapped herself tightly, like a nun in the church.

In fact, the transcendents of the Scottish Regional Defence Committee did belong to the congregation called the Calamity, but they never proselytized and had no faith.

Rather than saying that they are religious orders, it is more appropriate to use the term "sect" in Donghua.

"Teresa, why did you remember to come to see me?"

Teresa's crisp voice came from under the hood, "Uncle Kirian, I heard that you asked my teacher about the transcendent yesterday for some knowledge?" ”

"Hmm—I did get some news."

"Why?"

"Uh... Just curious. ”

"Uncle Killian, I must warn you, it is not a good thing to know too much, and supernatural power is not a wonderful gift, and where there is gain, there is always loss."

Teresa suddenly rolled up her sleeves, revealing an arm that looked like skinny bones: "Look at my ghostly appearance, this is the price of my extraordinary power every time." ”

Killian was not frightened by Teresa's hand, but silently lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, this heavy burden should not be borne by you. ”

"It's nothing, I've long recognized the reality. Moreover, being able to contribute to the independence of our Gaelic people is also what I have always been pursuing. ”

"In short, you must remember that you should stop trying to inquire about the transcendental, I have already told my teacher, and she will not tell you if you ask again."

Killian muttered a little wryly, "I see." ”

"Alright, then I'll go first, take care of myself, Uncle Kirian."

Teresa turned around and was about to leave, when Killian suddenly stretched out his arm and put it on her shoulder, very awkward, really like a layer of skin on the skeleton - this is the price of playing?

Killian's nose was sour, and he felt like he was on the verge of tears.

"What's wrong?"

Killian hesitated a little and said: "I met Zhang the day before yesterday, and I have been in contact with him for the past two days, and he also asked me to ask about the knowledge of the transcendental." ”

Teresa's eyes widened, "You mean... Jinyu? ”

"Ah, it's that goldfish, Donghua's name is so complicated, I don't even know what to call him."

"Didn't you just say it was just out of curiosity?"

Killian whispered, "I just didn't know whether to tell you about it, so I lied. ”

"Would you like to meet him?"

Teresa seemed to be a little moved, but after a while, she shook her head slightly: "Forget it, how can I see him like this now?" I'm content to know he's alive. ”

"Ugh."

Killian let out a long sigh.

"Uncle Cillian, please, please, take care of him—that's what I owe him."

"I know, that's why I'll ask for news for him... But don't worry, I'll warn him not to ask about transcendent knowledge in the future. ”

"Only, what if he also became a transcendent?"

Teresa was stunned for a moment, but her cuffs suddenly clenched.

"In that case, you can come back to the Order in the afternoon to see me, and I'll compile a note for him."

"Okay."
