Chapter 96
[Steam Change].........Surman recalled the epic events of his previous life and sighed in his heart.
In the Eternal Night World, you will be involved in it even if you have already advanced to the higher level and belong to the Church of the Lord.
Of course, that epic event is still early. At least before the holders of the Black Abyss Secret Book, the internal conflicts of the Steam Church have not yet risen to the level of outbreak, and it is still the tranquility before the storm.
Surman's thoughts came back and suddenly he thought of something-
Having said that, Anne was promoted to a formal investigator at such a young age. Her status in the Steam Church will not be too low in the future, right? However, I had never heard of her name in my previous life. Could it be that she stayed in the ‘arbitration agency’ or ‘relics club’ after the trial of the Holy Church?
All churches have established these two operating departments. The former is a secret institution for dealing with internal conflicts, and is also called "Purge People", "Black Gloves", "Gods of God" and so on. They are respected by ordinary members. If they are scheduled saints in the future, they need to enter the "arbitration agency" and start from the bottom to accumulate qualifications and ensure their prestige after being promoted to the top.
As for another "Relics Society" department, it mainly explores ancient city-states left behind when the Second Era were destroyed, such as the Arcane of Yattu, which were more dangerous in action.
But it is also one of the shortcuts to accumulating achievements and rapid promotion.
In fact, the promotion speed of the Ruins Association is faster than that of the arbitration agency. Some reserve saints, in order to defeat their competitors, actively join the Ruins Association's department and venture into the Ruins City to quickly accumulate merit and advance.
"What are you thinking?"
Annie's voice came from the side, with beautiful eyes containing agility, looking at him in a daze curiously.
"Well, I'm thinking about the dilemma you are facing..." Surman's face remained unchanged, and his heart was lying. The next moment, he looked at Anne who was a little confused, and suddenly felt his mind moved and thought of a way to persuade her:
"Are you confused? When you see the life scene in Gangdian City, it is different from the education you received before. I heard that in the mobile castle of Steam Church, even the scavengers at the bottom can still survive, and don't worry about starving to death."
"But the life trajectory of these scavengers is like a screw, and has long been determined... to pick up scraps in mobile castles for the rest of their lives, unless their descendants can monitor high-fit qualifications. Oh, this probability is the same as gambling on the gambling table."
"This lifestyle seems to be wrong, but they live better than the people in the lower class in Gangdian City..."
"You feel confused, right?"
At this moment, Surman felt that his words were very similar to those "intimate sister"-like enlightening characters in the early radio programs in his previous life, which specially gave people poisonous chicken soup to rejuvenate their wings of life... and then became qualified workers.
"Yes, I...I think it's very strange!" Annie nodded suddenly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
She felt that the people at the bottom of Gangdian City lived too hard and struggled, and most of their wealth was controlled by people from the middle class and above. They had the best supplies in the city, the most comfortable living environment and working atmosphere.
And the living people struggling in the lower class are very difficult to survive just by living. Instinctively, Anne felt that they should follow the social class of the mobile castle, but she felt something was wrong...
After seeing the colorful outside world, she lived in Gangdian City for half a month. Annie is no longer an ignorant beginner. She also has a certain understanding of the system of a civilized city-state.
Because of this, she compared the two and doubted the education she received.
"It's actually very simple. You don't agree with their way." Surman smiled gently and persuaded her: "In fact, you don't recognize them in your heart, but you feel powerless... You can only question your own education. This is a superficial phenomenon. The most essential problem is that you desire to change everything, but you lack the corresponding power and right to speak."
Annie's delicate body shook, as if she had awakened some attributes by these words. She lowered her head and muttered a few words—
"Strength...right of voice...system."
Surman didn't take it seriously and enlightened the other party in his opinion, just a small thing to do. On the contrary, the social form of the mobile castle made him sigh - this is a typical "utopian" structure. Every investigator from the mobile castle will experience a period of confusion when he comes to the outside world, which is an inevitable phenomenon for them.
"Thank you...thank you! Mr. Surman."
Anne's face was so excited that she was slightly flushed, as if she was feeling high like she discovered a new world.
While the two talked, they had already arrived at the second floor of the orphanage. The children who were getting up early were receiving basic education. When they stepped into the classroom, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
When the orphans saw the excitement on Annie's face, they also seemed to find a new world, chattering and whispering to each other, there were many words such as "male companion", "lover", and "poor Eddie".
There was even a funeral guy who secretly ran out and was about to inform the young Eddie Toolman who was working part-time in the utility room next door.
"If you ask you to assign these newspapers to them...knowledge is also a kind of power." Surman handed the newspaper to the orphanage teacher, who was very grateful. After all, even if the old newspapers are not used, they can also play the role of walls or toilet paper.
"Surman...you...you are really careful." Anne next to her couldn't help but praise.
At the same time, Surman also discovered the little boy Norman who was rescued last time, but this time, several peers sat around him, as if he had taken in several younger brothers..... He had a really good understanding.
When Little Norman noticed his gaze, he also turned around, pointed to Anne next to him and tapped him with a thumbs up.
The little man is big... Surman retracted his gaze and finally mentioned the important matter: "Anne, I am here to find you this time. There is one thing that I want to entrust the Steam Church. Of course, I will pay enough."
"You are too polite. Just tell me what kind of commission you have. As long as I can do it..." Anne said seriously. She owed Surman a life. She was not a chamber of commerce that cares about interests, but a steam believer who pursues order.
As long as she can, no requirement is a problem.
Surman did not rush to answer. Seeing this, Anne understood what he meant and took the initiative to think: "Then let's go to the small room next door to talk..."
Before she could finish her words, the young man Eddie Toolman, who came from the utility room, heard this at the door. The next moment, he seemed to have been hit by Medusa's petrochemical technique, and watched the two of them talking and laughing, passing by him.
Bang.
The small room next door was gently closed, leaving only him and the orphans in the classroom, staring at each other.
................
Half an hour later, Surman came out of the orphanage and looked down at his pocket watch.
"It's finally done..."
Surman breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Steam Church had a wide range of channels. When he made a request, Anne patted her chest and promised that this kind of material was very common and that she would definitely get it for Surman for three days at most.
The things he entrusted to the other party were the core materials of the "Secret Master". Since it was the first ritual, the recipient entered the extraordinary realm, and it was not a ritual of God's gift... In terms of materials, it is indeed much easier to find.
Surman did not rely on the ancient aristocrats. Firstly, because the material belongs to the mineral. In this regard, the steam church has a wider channel and easier access to materials. Secondly, he does not want to rely on the ancient aristocrats in everything, which is in danger of leaking ritual configuration.
"Next, I will be able to hold a ceremony for Ibis when Annie sends the materials..."
Although Anne's breasts lack persuasion, Surman believes that her commitment depends on character and absolutely nothing to do with her figure.
Putting away his pocket watch, Surman walked slowly towards the edge of the Jazz District.
Next, he needs to participate in the long-lost...
