Chapter 191: The End of the Dream (3)
In the city of Selth, the Church was a symbol of power, and they had the right to deal directly with the infidels.
Even the lord of the land has no right to object.
Jiang Qi took out the wooden plank to make a fire, boiled the water in the bucket in batches and stored it, and then went out to fetch water with the wooden bucket again.
In such an ancient city, once the drinking water source is polluted, it is a catastrophe, and it is better to prepare in advance.
On the way back, the sky was completely covered in darkness, and the silver moonlight fell on the top of the spire-shaped bell tower, shining brightly from a distance.
In the civilian area, sewage runs sideways, damp, foul smells fill the air, and huge rats roam the streets and alleys, and they will not avoid people.
Jiang Qi returned home, took care of everything and it was time to go to bed, the civilian residential area was quiet at night, it was dark from the balcony, and no one would run out at this time unless necessary.
Jiang Qi checked the door lock, went back to the bedroom to turn off the lights and went to bed, she still had to work tomorrow, and she had to get up before five o'clock in the morning.
The moonlight that shone into the house through the curtains gradually dimmed, and the clouds obscured the sky.
On the other side of Sells City, the Affluent District.
Wu De sat in the brightly lit banquet, holding a white wine of clear color in his hand, wearing a gorgeous and solemn robe, the jewels on his cane glittered in the lamplight, and the nobles who came and went greeted him.
"Your Excellency."
Wu De nodded with a peaceful smile on his face.
He is in Vanity Fair, whether in the game or in reality, he can be handy.
"I'm starting to like it here." Wu De smiled and said to the young man beside him, "I didn't find her over there last time, but this time, we have more power in our hands, and we only need to abide by the laws of this city." ”
And the decrees of this city are not used to bind the clergy.
"His Holiness the Pope." Young people are worried.
"He has an agreement with Meng Ming that he won't move her over there, and when he arrives here, he will solve the problem according to the rules of the game." Wu De drank the wine in his glass.
Jiang Qi is not easy to deal with, her people don't have her skills.
The Church is a symbol of power in this city, and if he finds any of them, he can send them to the execution table.
——
Game Day 2.
As soon as the day dawned, Jiang Qi got up, and the public washing area was full of busy people.
More people choose to wash at home and then open the window to dispose of dirty water in the simplest way.
Jiang Qi quickly cleaned herself up, and as she left, she noticed that someone had a wrong expression.
The man walked in like a wandering spirit, his face did not look like a healthy normal person, and his skin color was not normal, as if there was a layer of liquid sticking to it.
Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of red blood with a clot of blood.
"What's wrong with you? You okay? Someone stepped forward and asked.
The man forced himself to wipe the blood from his mouth, "I'm fine. ”
Jiang Qi took her things and left quickly, and from the NPC's conversation, she learned that the other party was a long-term worker at the dock, and in order to keep her job, she had to persist even if she was sick.
She had planned to buy some food at the market to make breakfast, but although the rye bread was hard, at least it was safer to bake at high temperatures, and she didn't know what kind of environment others made the food in the market.
Passing by the drinking water source, Jiang Qi glanced at it.
The women and children who came to fetch water in the morning did not seem to have changed much and were clean, but the water pollution was often not visible to the naked eye.
The work in the bakery is boring and tiring.
For her, the most rewarding thing about this job is the acquisition of food and information.
The women she worked with would talk to each other, and that's where her first knowledge of Sells City came from.
"A homeless man died in the neighborhood this morning, and all his belongings, including his clothes, were taken away."
"Is it a robbery? This is a felony and the Lord will punish those who do evil. ”
"No, it's not a robbery, it seems to have died of illness."
"It's pathetic." A woman with an apron stained with black ash said, "I heard that the Escort Training Camp has begun to recruit, and if you can pass the rigorous screening there, you will have a chance to get a decent job, maybe even become a knight, my son wants to try." ”
The brown-haired woman walked past her with ground grain, "It's not me who strikes you, all the free civilians in the city are eligible to sign up, but we can't even afford decent clothes, how can we compare with those noble young masters who have professional guidance?" My sister's son was injured in the training camp and died. ”
"I also advised him not to go and find a job in peace, but he said that if he wanted to gamble for himself, I really couldn't stop him."
Jiang Qi listened to their words thoughtfully, "Will the church be the same as the escort training camp?" ”
With a reverent look on her face, she continued, "I wish I could be closer to the Lord. ”
"It wasn't easy." The brown-haired woman replied, "You have no experience of studying in a monastery, and you can't read the books of the church, and it's not enough to just go to church every week, unless you get God's direction and preference." ”
It sounds like there is no chance at all, and this kind of high-powered top profession will really be monopolized.
"Is there a chance to become a servant of the Lord if you read the scriptures?" Jiang Qi continued to ask.
"Yes, but the classics are all obscure ancient texts, and few people can interpret them, so it's more realistic for you to continue to bake bread, don't think about the sacred books."
Jiang Qi nodded, went out with a plate and bought the 27 loaves he had just baked for half the money, and the store stewards were stunned, ordinary families would not buy so much bread at one time.
"What are you doing with so much bread all of a sudden?"
"My family will have a few relatives coming to stay temporarily, until they find a house." The ginger surface does not change color.
The other party nodded, if it was several relatives, these breads would only be eaten for a few days.
"What a silly girl, you can actually go to the market and buy cheap bread for them." The steward shook his head and looked at Jiang Qi with a look at the big injustice.
"Mary won't be at work today, wait for more guests, you can go to the front to have a meeting."
"Good"
Before Jiang Qi finished speaking, he heard a menacing sound on the street, there were soldiers in armor and clergy in robes in the crowd, and the level of clothing was not low, and there was even a knight.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qi looked out with a little curiosity.
"I heard that there are heretics in the city, and we are going to investigate them, and now we have just begun." Said the guest who was buying brown bread on the side.
"The chapel is free to see a lot of people there who are sick."
"Did the infidels do it?" Jiang Qi continued to ask.
"I don't know, I don't dare to say anything about this." The guest turned away with the bread in his arms. (End of chapter)
