Chapter 255: Shame and Disgrace (1st Update)

With a wooden plaque, Kevin finally officially moved into St. Louis.

This place looks like a prison, but in essence it is already an underground city.

It has its own mine, and the slag from the mine is stirred and then calcined, after which it is good building material.

It is also related to other places, some of which have been bought by the apostles here, and a steady stream of raw materials has been supplied to the place.

After careful calculation, Kevin found that the amount of material needed here was ridiculously large.

The resources of the whole of Pyat seem to be barely satisfying the appetite of this prison, and the improved steam engine is like a terrifying beast, eating raw materials and sending products out.

The system here is also quite peculiar, with the apostles and the inhabitants mixing with each other, forming a large number of guilds and coordinating their own production lines with each other, so that the production of various products is constantly produced.

Although he wanted to know what was being produced here, he didn't have the qualifications to enter the bottom and didn't know what those apostles were doing.

The wooden plaque distributed to him had his basic information and address, and the font appeared to be mechanically inscribed, indicating that the level of mechanization was quite high.

However, what made Kevin dissatisfied was that it did not mark his own aristocratic rank, only a line of words "former noble".

Seeing this line of words, Kevin sneered.

Even if he committed a crime, the upper echelons of Faite did not deprive him of his noble title, how dare he make himself a former nobleman here?

The rights of the nobility are sacrosanct, how dare they.

With dissatisfaction, when he arrived at his residence, this dissatisfaction turned into anger.

The dwelling was converted from a cell, but the fence was removed, the walls were built, the iron gate was converted into a wooden door and hung with a door number, and the area was even inferior to its own toilet.

So, why did I blame Delai in the first place!

Dissatisfied, he walked into his new room, and his lungs almost exploded.

It's a double room!

There were two beds in the small room, and although the room looked neat, the thought of living with a stranger made him feel that the air stinked.

My roommate has been living for a while, and he is lying on the bed leisurely reading a book at this time, and when he sees Kevin, he raises his head and says, "Hello, you are my new roommate." Nice to see you. ”

"I'm not happy." Kevin said with a calm face.

The new roommate is a guy with a bit messy hair and a mediocre appearance, but a very kind face.

Sensing Kevin's reluctance to cooperate, he raised his head with interest, looked at Kevin seriously, and then said with a smile: "Former nobleman? ”

"Now the aristocracy." Kevin bit the word emphasized.

"Oh, then I'll sort of that."

The identity of the other party made Kevin's attitude soften slightly, but his face was still not very good.

The young man didn't care, after all, the new nobles were like that.

Including himself.

Finding that Kevin had no luggage, the young man stood up, took out clothes and toiletries from the cabinet next to him, and handed them to Kevin.

"This is the clothes that are dispensed, you can see if it fits, and if it doesn't fit, you can change it."

Looking at the clothes, Kevin noticed that the material of the clothes was very new and smelled sour.

The colors are very bright and feel good to the touch, which makes Kevin quite satisfied.

The toiletries included a toothbrush, a new towel, tooth powder for brushing and a bar of soap, which looked average but were of good quality.

Finding that Kevin was curiously observing these things, the young man smiled and said, "These are all items produced in the prison, you can take them again when you run out, but don't eat them." ”

"I know!"

Pointing to the young man, Kevin said proudly, "Come here, help me tidy up my clothes, and then help me change my clothes." ”

Kevin's clothes are still prison clothes, and the rough feel makes him feel painful, and he urgently needs a piece of clothing to change out of prison clothes.

But when he was at home, there were special servants to help him get dressed, and he wouldn't even wear clothes without them.

The young man didn't move, just looked at Kevin with interest.

The other party's attitude made Kevin a little annoyed, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I feel like I saw my old self, and when I came here more than half a month ago, I wouldn't be wearing clothes."

"And now?"

"Still not, but I'll get dressed. The buttons of the clothes are untouched, and the same is true when washing, and when you wear them, you just tuck them in. ”

"That's right...... Then you won't come and help me change my clothes? ”

"Do it yourself." The young man lay down on the bed and continued to read leisurely, "You have to do everything by yourself here, dress, bathe, receive books, and eat." Only after working every day can I eat, and I have two days off on weekends. Don't put on your aristocratic pretenses, the people in this area are all former nobles. ”

"But I'm a fifth-level nobleman!"

"I'm a third-level nobleman."

This sentence made Kevin's previous style dissipate without a trace.

After standing for a while, Kevin wanted to speak, when he found that the young man had flipped the book to the second cover, revealing the coat of arms inside.

Heraldry is a subject that every nobleman must learn, and the coat of arms of each family is unique, containing the history of a family, blood relations, etc.

The pattern of a coat of arms is very complex, but each pattern contains its own unique history and heritage, which is a compulsory course for every nobleman.

And Kevin could see at a glance that the article was a second-level nobleman, which showed that the young man in front of him had a strong backer, but he didn't expect it to be his turn here.

Deflated, Kevin sat on the bed and slowly began to dress himself.

But when he finally finished dressing, he saw the young man opposite him looking at him in surprise, and then burst into a strong laugh.

"Tell me, how you stuffed your head into your cuffs! Hahahaha! How small your brain has to be, hahahaha! ”

“…… Don't make fun of it. ”

"I'm sorry, but it's really uncontrollable. How the hell did you do it! Aha! ”

Wiping away the tears from laughter, the young man stepped forward and helped Kevin take off his clothes, and then rearranged them, and then said, "It seems that there are quite a few places where you need to practice." ”

“…… I will. ”

Kevin knew he was nowhere to go.

So, he had to get used to it, even if there was no one to take care of him.

And the third-level nobles in front of him are already used to being here, and I believe he can too.

At noon, he was taken to the cafeteria and began to enjoy his lunch.

I didn't think the food here would be too good, but the mushrooms tasted surprisingly delicious, and although there were no meat dishes, the bread was definitely a first-class delicacy that qualified to be placed in the best restaurants in Legal.

Seeing Kevin gobbling down the food, the young man smiled and said, "How does it taste?" ”

"Generally, no, fine."

"Well, the apostles here are very focused on what they eat, and they have sworn that they will never let anyone starve to death."

Tearing off the last piece of white bread and putting it in the creamy mushroom soup, Kevin said with satisfaction, "Is this a special lunch for the nobles?" ”

"What are you talking about?" The young man said in surprise, "Who will provide us with a special lunch, this is a 'big pot of rice'." ”

"What is this?"

The apostles' saying that they would cook and distribute together in order to save money. And you may not know that the cost of your meal is only about twelve copper plates. ”

Kevin froze.

According to his understanding, it took at least twenty-one silver coins to take down this lunch, but he didn't expect that the cost was even less than one percent.

He instinctively wanted to reprimand the other party for lying, but the young man in front of him said slowly: "Don't believe it, I'm doing procurement, and I calculated the cost." Wheat is the cheapest and the mushrooms are grown by yourself......"

"Then why is it so delicious!"

"They have their own recipe, and they add MSG, which I don't really understand. And you've been to the bakery. They are the apostles of the God of Education, and there are quite a few people who have special blessings and can process special things. Bread is a combination of machinery and manpower, and the grinding of wheat is also done mechanically. Any machine has the power of hundreds of people, and the productivity liberated by this is incredibly powerful. ”

Kevin looked at the young man like a madman and asked incredulously, "Isn't the steam engine only used for stupid work?" ”

"That's when you think that the power of the steam engine is stronger than you think, and if you see it, you will understand that the aristocratic class is not worth mentioning in front of this power."

Patting Kevin, who was stunned, the young man said to Kevin, "Okay, I have to go to work too, I'm on the afternoon shift today." You'll almost be assigned a job, so do your best or you'll be sent to the study room. ”

Knowing that the other party wanted to leave, Kevin subconsciously wanted to get up and salute, but was pressed back by the young man.

The strength of the other party is very strong, and Kevin's small body can't hold it at all, so he can only sit in place.

"Listen, Comrade Kevin, this is the transformation park of the apostles, you and I are just former nobles, and there is not so much red tape."

"Yes, sir."

"I'd prefer you to call me comrade if you could. But it's still a little early for you now. Hurry up and eat, we'll have to work later. ”

The young man blinked, smiled and left the place, leaving only Kevin, who was lost in thought.

Drinking the remaining mushroom soup, Kevin tasted a lot of things from this bowl of soup, but unfortunately it did not have an aristocratic taste.

But it's still delicious.

As the youth said, when Kevin returned to his room, the thug was already waiting there.

The thug dressed in a nun's uniform was covered in flesh, and the room, which was quite spacious, was a little cramped compared to him.

He sat on Kevin's bed, his massive body crushing the bed board out of shape, causing the bed board to moan in an overwhelmed way with every movement.

"Kevin, your job is coming."

"Can you stop laughing like that, I'm afraid."

"Got used to it. Okay, report to school and try a lesson. You can choose what you are good at. Do you need me to send you? ”

"Okay."

Kevin lamented that although the thugs looked quite vicious, they were very good.

But right away, he didn't think so.

Grabbing Kevin, the thugs carried Kevin to the school like a wild dog, and then threw him to the school administrators.

The administrator, who was also an apostle, looked at Kevin for a moment and said, "He's unconscious. ”

"It's okay, I have skills! Look at my living fist! ”

With a punch, Kevin felt like he had been hit by a carriage in his lower abdomen, and the sharp pain made him curl up like a shrimp, and then jumped up in annoyance and shouted, "What are you doing!" Do you want to kill me? ”

"Isn't this all right?"

"How is that possible...... Really! ”

Finding that he was really safe and sound, Kevin was circled.

However, the thug has left, and he can only face the school administrator and accept the other party's arrangement.

The school administrator didn't pay much attention to it, but just asked, "Can you teach children under the age of seven?" ”

Kevin felt that he had been greatly insulted, and shouted, "I'm a fifth-level nobleman!" ”

"Oh, forget you're still a nobleman, can you be under six?"

"You ......"

"Since you're not going to do it, let's try a ten-year-old first. Declare in advance that they have all been [motivated] for a few days, and there are places where there is more knowledge than you think. ”

"A group of ten-year-olds, what can they be afraid of!"

Dissatisfied, Kevin walked into the arranged classroom and began his work.

It's time to give the kids here a little aristocratic shock!

He walked into the classroom with confidence, but the first ten minutes he was on the podium and the students were below, and ten minutes later he was on the podium below.

Sweating to complete a test paper, a ten-year-old girl frowned at the answers, and then sighed: "Kevin, kid......"

"I'm not that small! I'm over thirty! ”

"You know you're not small. So why wouldn't such a simple question as trigonometric function be? ”

"What's the use of me learning this?"

"You can be an engineer, the greatest person in prison is an engineer, and my parents want me to be an engineer the most."

"I want to be a mathematician, and I really like big numbers, and I like both the Gregorian number and the big number garden number."

"I want to be a mechanic, don't you think it's cool to get the machine running again!"

Watching the children happily discuss their dreams, Kevin's heart was only humiliated.

Damn it......

Why, I'm not even as good as a bunch of ten-year-olds.

While the children were discussing the problem, Kevin left the school in humiliation while the others were not paying attention.

It's true......

It's a shame.

At the door, the school's administrators seemed to have anticipated the situation.

Facing Kevin, who was trembling all over, the administrator patted him on the shoulder, and then said, "Are you going to teach a six-year-old child, or do you want to go to the study room to [enlighten]." ”

"What's enlightenment?"

"The third-order blessing is better than [incentive], which can make people understand what they are really good at. You're talented, too, but you've been buried. So, do you want to have a shot? ”

Kevin could resist a little, but the humiliating scene still echoed before his eyes.

In order not to be insulted by a ten-year-old child again, Kevin nodded vigorously: "I'll go!" ”

Thanks to the 200 points tip for the cricket to read the book, thank you.
