Saturday, 16th.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Varina left her room and walked out into the street with her suitcase.

He plans to go to the "Housing Improvement Company of the City of Tingen" and rent a one-bedroom apartment with a communal bathroom nearby.

Generally speaking, such houses are mainly concentrated in the lower street of Iron Cross Street.

The "Housing Improvement Company of the City of Tingen" is located on Daffodil Straße, and Varina has not walked far.

He was greeted by a middle-aged man with a kind smile, no formal clothes, no hat, white shirt, and black vest.

He glanced at the suitcase that Varina was carrying, and took the initiative to ask, "My name is Scat, I don't know what kind of house you need?" ”

"One bedroom, preferably down the street."

Scat nodded knowingly, "Yes, there are quite a few, do you live alone?" ”

"Yes."

Scat looked down at the documents and files in his hand, and asked:

"Do you have any other requirements? Things like rent, location, and neighbors. ”

After asking, he expertly explained:

"There is also a difference between the one-bedroom apartments on the lower street."

"The farther away you are from the intersection, the worse the location is, and if you have more neighbors, you can live more than 10 people in a room."

Speaking of this, he smiled, "Hehe, of course, the rent of this one-bedroom apartment is naturally cheaper." ”

"I want a good location."

After asking about the customer's needs, Scat turned the file in his hand into a "whoosh" sound.

Soon, he found a suitable house and read into the document in his hand:

"Apartment 67 Lower Street, 2nd Floor South ......"

Varina pulled the document from his hand, "I'm literate. ”

He glanced at it, and even looked at the information of the neighbors, and felt that the one that Sca had chosen was not bad.

"Bring the standard contract and let's go and see it together."

"Huh?" Scat was a little uncomfortable with Varina's way of not following the routine, and reacted half a beat slower, "Oh, okay, follow me." ”

The two walked for more than ten minutes and came to No. 67 Lower Street.

From the stairs up to the second floor, Scat led Varina to the room furthest from the stairs and used the brass key to open the door.

The furnishings of this one-bedroom apartment are similar.

Beds, tables and chairs, coal stoves, wardrobes and cabinets and other living furniture must be placed on the side, leaving a certain space for activities in the center.

The most important point is that there is no smell in the room.

That's what he pays the most attention to when he picks a room.

"No problem, just this one."

Varina placed the suitcase on the empty bed, walked over to the desk, and reached out for Scat to bring the contract and keys.

"The rent is 4 sules per week, the deposit is 3 sules, how long are you going to rent?"

"Uh...... By the way, even if you sign a contract here, you have to go to the fair office of Jinwutong District to notarize......"

From the moment he found the right house, he couldn't keep up with the young guest's train of thought, and he was half a beat slower every time.

"Let's rent it for 1 month."

Varina pulled a pound from his pocket and put it on the table, motioning for Scott to fill out the contract, "As for the notary, I'm not going, 1 Souler, I'm sure you'll do it for me, right?" ”

No fussiness, no counter-offer, advance payment, and even a tip of a full 1 sole...... Scatter's mouth opened a little wider.

The next moment, he quickly closed his mouth, put away the cash on the table, and quickly filled out the contract.

In this way, Varina regained a temporary residence in Tingen.

He then spent another two hours shopping for necessities, cleaning and decorating his room before he was fully settled.

In order to ensure the safety of the two potions, Varina cut two notches in the upper part of the door frame, placed the wooden box inside, and put a dozen soles of change in the suitcase.

In this way, even if a thief comes, it will be foolproof.

After settling down, Varina didn't really have much to do until the Corn Laws were repealed.

Most of the things he planned to do were not in good condition at the moment.

Either you need to fully digest the potion, or you need to promote Sequence 7.

The two are somewhat equivalent.

……

Varina's rented place is located in the so-called "Middle Street", near which there is a bar called "Wild Heart".

He had lunch there.

In less than half an hour of mealtime, he used three sentences to escalate a drunken altercation that caused a drunken brawl involving 18 people.

As the chaos spreads and the bar guards and bartenders are scrambling to deal with it, Varina leaves with some of the drinkers who don't want to be implicated.

This kind of thing, in fact, he has also done some in bars in the East End, and the feedback brought by the performance can only be said to be better than nothing.

In the afternoon, he went to the real lower street.

It is no wonder that the residents of "Middle Street" distinguish "Middle Street" from Lower Street, although they are on the same street, there is really an invisible boundary in the middle.

This line is actually a concrete line of food and clothing.

The residents who go down the street are struggling below the subsistence line for various reasons, and all their energy is devoted to ensuring that they survive.

This pattern is actually different from Beckland's East End.

Perhaps because of its size, in Beckland's East End, "Middle Street" and "Lower Street" are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

After crossing the invisible line, the dirty water and debris on the streets became more and more, and the air gradually took on a stench similar to that of a sewer.

In the afternoon, there are not many people on the streets.

Passers-by here are dressed in old, tattered clothes, and Wari's relatively neat clothing is more evident here.

This has attracted some wary attention and scrutiny.

But it was clear that Varina's dress was not enough to arouse the greed in their hearts, and those eyes were quickly withdrawn.

Following the direction in which they were walking, Varina walked quickly past them, and did not go far, and sure enough, he saw the West End Workhouse in front of him.

It was not yet time to open the door, but there was already a long line outside the gate.

Standing at a distance and watching for a while, Varina noticed that there would always be disputes such as cutting in line and pulling out of the eyes of the arrogant janitor.

And when the janitor's gaze is turned back, both sides of the entanglement will stop tacitly at the same time.

Obviously, it can be seen from their reaction that if they are discovered, the janitor will most likely kick both sides out of the team without asking the reason.

Along the way, Varina sees countless opportunities to play.

For example, deliberately "losing" money in a place where passers-by are concentrated on the street can definitely cause a robbery;

For example, when the workhouse is exhausted on the day, provoking the desires and unwillingness in the hearts of the remaining people can definitely cause a riot;

……

But these opportunities will undoubtedly lead to very bad results.

Perhaps it was because of the environment of the Lower Street, which was different from the pure ghetto of Beckland, or perhaps because for the first time, Varina was observed with the eyes of a pure "instigator......

In short, Varina truly grasped the true meaning of "instigator" -

The "instigator" is the source of chaos hidden in the crowd, the amplifier of contradictions, and the fuse of strife.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the "instigator" potion was once again clearly digested.
