Chapter 22: Three Sticky Notes
Without waiting for Bonnie to finish explaining, Chris began to carefully cut open the back shell of the book, and sure enough, two identical sticky notes fell and fell into the hands of Bonnie, who had been prepared.
With an excited and expectant face, Bonnie spread the three sticky notes on the table separately, looked at them in turn, and saw that the first line of the three sticky notes was written in turn:
"Physician"
"Cultivator"
"Listener"
The moment he finished reading it, Chris felt a little stinging in his eyes, and some uneasy feelings appeared in his heart.
......
There was a short silence, three of you, you look at me, I look at you.
Looking further, I saw that each name has a detailed introduction below:
"'Doctor':

This......
Just looking at the words on it, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little chill on their bodies, as if these words had a strange power and could devour the reader's soul.
Chris thought a lot, as soon as he came to this world, he felt that he and the world were abnormal.
Prophetic dreams, murder near the church, corpses drained of blood by knives, congealed stones from corpses, abnormalities in the body after ingesting oneself......
"Is this, is it true? Is there really such a miracle drug?"
Bonnie stared at the big blue eyes, and seemed a little nervous and excited, so much so that her voice trembled a little.
"How is that possible?" Bert was in a trance for a second, then immediately calmed down, and said with a firm denial:
"This must be a prank by some people, how can there be such a thing in this world. As he spoke, his suspicious eyes glanced at the three sticky notes on the table from time to time.
"Where did you get this book?" asked Chris after a moment's thought, then looked at Bonnie.
Bonnie scratched her long golden hair, wrinkled her delicate nose, and hesitated, "It seems to have been given to me by a teacher two years ago." β
"Oh, do you remember who he was, or what?"
Chris tapped his fingers on the wooden table, "Maybe we can ask the original owner of the book and see if there are any clues about the contents of these three sticky notes." β
Bonnie struggled to recall: "That gentleman seems to be called Joseph, and he only taught at my private school for two weeks before he was transferred......
He was dressed in a well-fitting suit, with short blond hair, golden pupils, and a charming smile. I remember that he wore a huge sapphire ring on his finger...... I don't know about the rest."
Bonnie's face turned a little red, and she said shyly, "He said that I had a great talent for learning, and I was very close to him, so he gave me this book." Oh, by the way, he gave me this!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the delicate necklace with a sapphire around his neck, and said:
"I thought I would return the gift when I had the opportunity to return the favor in the future, and this necklace was really beautiful, so I accepted it. For this reason, Bert also said that I would be going to be for a few days. β
Bonnie turned white to Bert next to her: "I didn't expect to see that gentleman again." β
"Well, it looks like there's no chance of getting any clues from him. β
Chris read the contents of the note and memorized it, and made up his mind that he could go to the library when he had time to check for any relevant clues.
He had some suspicions that the dazzling stone he swallowed by mistake and the abnormality of his body might have something to do with the contents of the note.
Chris asked Bonnie to put the three sticky notes back and look at the sky outside, which was somewhat gloomy and overcast, and it was probably going to rain soon.
Early the next morning, in the crisp air after the rain, Chris drove Bert and Bonnie in a horse-drawn carriage to the nearest public school. The three were quickly enrolled, and each of them needed 3 pence a week, which was easily affordable for a trio who had little income.
Although the money left by the Bert siblings is pitiful among the rich, in the West End, which is almost all poor, it is equivalent to a rich man, which is the main reason why the siblings moved here.
It's just not going out.
The new carriage was given by Bert for a full 10 gold pounds for Chris to buy for himself. But Chris bought the horses at the horse dealer and ordered new carriages from the carpenter.
Because he has been a chauffeur in the carriage and horse industry for three years, Chris still knows a little about this. If you buy a complete set of carriages at the carriage and horse dealership, you will only have old horses with little strength and dilapidated carriages that have been repainted.
This is also a means of making money for the carriage and horse dealers.
The carriages of the nobles were made of sturdy horses selected from their estates, and the carriages specially customized by famous local craftsmen from their own precious wood, and were designed by designers and blacksmiths.
After all, this is a faΓ§ade for an aristocratic travel, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
As for Chris's housekeeper salary, I actually mentioned it at the beginning, and then there was no follow-up.
After all, Chris is not only a housekeeper, in addition to the cleaning staff and cleaners who need to be hired once a week, he is also a coachman, a cook, and a nanny...... The siblings' clothes were also washed by Chris at the laundromat on the street, which was fortunately inexpensive.
The usual expenses are calculated and controlled by Chris, and the specific salary is not clear at all. The two masters in fact don't have much say in money. They are still self-aware of their ability to spend money.
In addition, the brother and sister both trusted Chris, so Bert handed over the financial power to Chris, after all, there was not much money available, only a few dozen gold pounds.
The few precious antiques left in the house were kept in the bank of Federenburg, and only Bert himself went and took the bills to get them.
Originally, Chris didn't plan to go to public school, but after the death and life of the two siblings, plus Chris really needed to learn the words and knowledge here, he came along.
Illiterate people can't do anything, and the previous Sunday study only allowed Chris to master the most basic Irish script, and I heard that other countries have their own independent language and script.
However, after two weeks, Chris had learned everything he had learned for the year and mastered it completely, and Chris applied to skip a grade.
From the beginner class to the intermediate class, which is also Bonnie's grade.
There are three grades in the upper junior high school in public schools, and each age is a two-year system, and each age has a different class according to different progress.
Each student is free to choose a class according to their own pace, and they can also graduate early. Of course, this needs to be strictly reviewed by the school teachers.
According to the progress of the previous private school, Bonnie entered the upper intermediate class, and Bert entered the advanced late class, and in another year, he could get his public school grades and go to the university of choice.
However, in the shocked eyes of the two Bert siblings and the teachers and students of the school, in less than two months, Chris jumped from the intermediate class to the advanced class, Bert's grade.
Then, two months later, Chris passed the school's graduation exams. He received the diploma from the Rector of the Federenburg Public School and was sent to the University of Federenburg with honors.
