Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 85 Faith
"That's right, considering that you are not a nobleman, sir, I suggest that you can be hired, but the specifications should not be too large, so as not to be ridiculed. Pete cautioned.
Andu wiped his mouth with satisfaction, today's lunch was cooked by Pete, after all, now that Elizabeth is also the master, it is impossible for her to always prepare three meals a day, and the matter of hiring a chef for this purpose should also be put on the agenda.
"Pete, do you know any familiar chefs?" Andu looked at Pete on the side and waved his hand.
"Sir, I know a few people, do you want to hire them?" said Pete, taking two steps forward and bowing his head.
"Yes, do you have any suggestions?" asked Andu.
Andu nodded, because he was not an aristocrat, as a nouveau riche, if he bought too many servants at one time, he would inevitably be laughed at as a show of wealth, which would be ridiculed, and they didn't have many friends, so there was really no need to make it so cumbersome.
After thinking for a while, he spoke: "The work of pulp washing, hygiene, and cleaning at home is already being done now, and I plan to add three chefs, one is in charge of the staple food, which is the most important, and the other is in charge of desserts, so that you can entertain friends when you need it in the future, and the last one is the tea chef, which is my personal need, and you can start preparing it today." ”
Pee nodded, made a note of it, and left the villa, looking for a candidate.
In fact, for Andu, he liked to drink tea before, but it was not obvious, and in this Aaronic Empire, a person with status almost does not drink boiled water, for example, Tonali's main hydrating ingredient relies on wine, and he naturally can't do it.
But for those drinks, Andu is not used to drinking most of them, so he can only take a step back and choose tea, he found that the popularity of tea in this world is not high, but it is still a choice of the upper class, so as not to be ridiculed.
After arranging this, Andu went to the simple drawing room, which was the original warehouse, because someone had arranged for someone to clean it up before the meal, so when he arrived, he could already start working.
Looking at the two and a half children who hadn't had time to leave, Andu thought about it and stopped the two.
"What's your name?" Andu asked suddenly.
Although the servants have been at the villa for a few days, only Pete can really talk to Andu, and the rest of the servants, Andu has not yet been able to recognize them all.
Well, Elizabeth should have remembered it all, and she has always had a good memory...... Andu suddenly thought for no reason.
"Well, sir, my name is Abt. The younger boy took the initiative, and after speaking, he pointed to the children next to him who were several years older than him, and introduced: "His name is Arnold." ”
Andu looked at the two children and smiled, "Do you want to learn to draw cards?"
"What is Eika?" Abt's eyes widened, his clear eyes full of doubts and question marks.
Andu thought for a moment and said, "It's the kind of card that makes people very powerful, the kind that can make people very powerful." ”
Abt thought for a moment and said, "Is that the kind of light you released when you were in the orphanage?"
Andu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Almost." ”
Abt immediately exclaimed, "Can I really learn?"
Andu said: "Of course, it's just not simple!"
Abt said firmly: "It's okay, Abt is very hard!!"
Andu touched his little head with a smile, then looked at the other child, and wondered, "What's wrong with you?"
Arnold's body shook and he was a little scared: "I, can I become very powerful in the future?"
Andu walked to his side, half-squatted and smiled: "Of course, maybe I will need you to protect me in the future!"
Arnold's eyes suddenly bloomed with a glimmer of brilliance, Abt looked at the friends around him, that he had never felt warm, and said happily in his heart: "Mr. Andu is a very powerful person, what he said must not be wrong!"
Arnold looked at Andu, and after enduring it for a long time, he still spoke: "Can you really protect others?"
Andu's heart suddenly shook, and he looked at the little boy with certainty and said, "You can definitely protect them." ”
As if assured, Arnold nodded fiercely, and under Andu's leadership, the two began to learn the simplest screening work.
It took Andu three hours to finish processing the materials, mainly because he had to teach two and a half children, so he prepared a notebook for the two of them, which was specially used for recording.
Hey, it's really not easy to train two helpers...... While Andu was crying out for a while, he suddenly remembered Arnold's expression just now, and his mood was a lot lower.
The children who can enter the orphanage are nothing more than two situations, one is to be voluntarily abandoned, and the other is to be forcibly abandoned.
And Arnold, it can be seen from his eyes that he once had a complete family, and naturally he became an orphan because of the upheaval, so he said the later doubts.
But he didn't plan to dive into it, this kind of thing was not a good memory, and he didn't like to do things that stirred up other people's sadness.
Looking at the material in front of him, Andu took two deep breaths and began to draw the work, the previous spare hole cards were completely gone, so that he had to immediately prepare some to fill his fragile sense of security.
......
Bishop's church, in a lounge.
A young man covered in bandages slowly opened his eyes.
The unfamiliar surroundings around him, and the feeling of being unconscious in his left arm, reminded him of the scenes before he fell unconscious, and those were not dreams, but real events.
He struggled to get up, but immediately found that this was an undesirable thing, no part of his body was intact, just a simple breathing action, and the pain in his chest and abdomen was so unbearable.
He breathed heavily, as if this was the only way to prove that he was alive, and his hoarse voice was desperately shouting something, but only made a strange sound of "ho-ho".
The room was empty, and his struggle did not attract much attention, and it was not until more than half an hour later that the volunteer worker who was in charge of his care pushed open the door and saw the scene of his struggle.
"Ah, what are you doing!!"
The young girl, struggling to put on a new bandage from the wound that he had opened because of the turmoil, the huge gap between the physiques made the girl just put on a roll of bandages, she was already sweating profusely, she was anxious, and said with a cry: "Don't move, your wound is open again!!"
Justin smelled the faint girlish fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, and tore his voice to say something, but no matter how close the girl was and how much she listened, she couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Don't say it, when you're ready, you naturally know everything, don't move anymore!!" The girl persuaded in a panic, while looking at the large bandages that were quickly dyed red because of the crack of the wound, under the double destruction of anxiety and pressure, she finally couldn't help it, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Justin watched the girl in front of him busy changing her dressing, while rubbing her moist eyes with the back of her blood-covered hand, and the movement in her mouth finally stopped, allowing the other party to change her dressing and change the bandage......
......
When Andu walked out of the drawing room, it was already past four o'clock, and he stretched out, moving his somewhat pantothenic wrist, and let out a sigh.
The cards drawn this time are almost the same as last time, the only difference is that the card of Forbidden Distortion has been blacklisted by Andu.
So in order to fill this hole, Andu chose a card that is unpretentious but can save people's lives at critical moments.
Activity Robot (Taunt Trait): As an activity robot with a unique spatial effect, it does not have any attack attributes, but until it is destroyed, the targeted target cannot take damage from the outside world, and all damage taken will be transferred directly to the active robot.
The taunt trait is a very rare attribute, but any follower card with this attribute will inevitably have a greatly reduced effect, or have an extremely strong negative effect, just like this "active robot", it is such a card, it has no offensive nature, and its only role is to save lives.
Another important reason why Andu chose it is that the consumption of active robots is extremely low, and it will hardly burden himself, and after considering the biggest threat, Darcy has been dealt with, he may not be too threatened.
Of course, the one in the church will not blatantly attack himself, otherwise Andu will have to reconsider.
After all, the power of faith in this world is not just verbal, Andu believes that once that person really does it directly, then the backlash of faith he suffers must be extraordinary and unpredictable, which is completely different from Andu's solution to Darcy, because the two are not at the same level in nature in the first place.
Anddu's problem is to protect, so Andu does it in order to protect important people, and the church has no direct reason, if he comes to Andu's trouble, then he will have problems in faith first.
Andu put the cards into the card pack one by one as usual, he thought about it, said hello to Elizabeth, and headed to the East End.
Sunset, East District, Commercial Street.
Andu stood at the edge of an alley, leaning sideways, looking at the Claude family, who were busy closing the door, silent for a long time.
Claude, who had not yet been able to leave the wheelchair help, sat in front of the store and watched his two sons busy packing their things, with a relieved smile on his face, blending with the twilight sunlight on his face in the setting sun.
Andu's thoughts had never been more palatable than he had been at this moment, and he knew in an instant what kind of beliefs Roy had wanted to convey to him, including the likes of Captain O'Connor.
It doesn't matter whether they thank themselves or not, whether they think they have a motive or not.
Because, he only needs to know what he should do, and it is enough.
