Chapter 154 A day in the club

Romon gave according to the pulper message and came to the shack where Laurie lived.

The furnishings here are simple, all around are low walls built with ordinary stones, and several wooden boards are padded on them as the roof. Outside the dilapidated door, there is a stove made of bricks. A half-person-high wooden platform was also built next to it, which served as a chopping board.

In front of the stove.

A woman who seems to have been left with too many traces by the years is washing some rotten leaves in the car in the tub, and there is a half-year-old child playing in the mud in front of the door.

Romon walked over, “Are you Laurie?”

The woman looked up, and her face was three or four similar to the dead man.

Dazed look flashed in her eyes, looking at Romon’s neatly dressed clothes, she stood up unnaturally, “Who are you?”

“A friend entrusted me, Said there was a property for you.” Romon said his intentions.

The woman was even more dazed, apparently completely ignorant of property.

She is raising children and working every day, and only knows a few female pulp workers. If she is serving those wealthy families, it is even more impossible.

“I don’t have any property, and I don’t know anyone who can give it to me, sir, you are wrong. We are in the slum area, not a place for a gentleman like you.”

p>

The woman’s eyes were wary, she didn’t trust Romon, or she had a natural fear of strangers coming from unknown sources. She believed that there was no pie that fell in vain.

For a poor family like her, even surviving is very difficult, unable to withstand the storm.

Romon secretly sighed, it seems that this matter is not easy to solve, he looks serious: “Ms. Laurie, you have to believe me. This is what the gentleman asked me to do, he left you with There is no need for me to lie to you for a property that can change your life now.”

Although Laurie was wary, she hesitated when she heard the words “property that changed your life.”

She clenching one’s teeth and said: “Sir, let’s go into the house and talk.”

Romon nods.

The furnishings in the house are extremely rudimentary, with a bed, a table of rough workmanship, two benches, apart from this and a small tattered wardrobe.

The wardrobe and the table are full of various items.

There are also some bottles and jars in the corner next to it.

And a scrubbing chamber pot.

“Sir, the house is a bit shabby. It’s really rude.” The woman quickly wiped the stool several times with the rag next to her, and then went to pour another cup of turbid tea.

Romon sat down naturally without any unusual behavior.

When the woman saw this, the tension in her eyes disappeared, “Excuse me, sir, what kind of property are you talking about? I really don’t know such a person. May I ask the name of the person who entrusted the property to you? What, why didn’t he come to see me in person.”

Romon was a little surprised by Laurie’s quick thinking, although this woman’s face was full of exhaustion, her mind was not confused.

It’s just a pity that he can’t answer these questions either.

“I’m sorry ma’am, I don’t know the name of the client, but you can think about it if you know such a person. He’s probably in his thirties, and his face has several points of resemblance to you .”

Romon made his inferences.

As a result, the woman was suddenly extremely excited, her body trembled a few times, and her hands rested on the table next to her, then she stabilized her body and asked excitedly, “How is he?”

p>

Romon opened his mouth, then shook his head without answering, but began to take out gold pounds from his pocket.

The woman also guessed something, and her face turned pale.

Just as Romon took out a one-hundred-denominated gold pound bill, a man suddenly rushed in at the door. He glanced around the room, and then stared at Romon.

Looking at Romon’s outfit, he didn’t dare to mess around.

He turned around and yelled at the woman: “If a few neighbors hadn’t told me, I still don’t know what you slut brought a man back, what do you want to do?”

His sneaky eyes flashed all around.

Suddenly it was fixed on the one hundred gold pound note on the table, like the most greedy mole saw a pine cone.

Romon frowned.

There was a smile on the man’s face, and his attitude changed 180 degrees: “Well, it turns out to be your friend. Treat this gentleman well. I’ll go out first.”

Said he grabbed a hundred gold pounds and ran out of the room.

Laurie had a deep sense of powerlessness on her face.

Romon frowned and asked, “Is he your husband?”

“Yes, he’s always been like this, I hope you can forgive me sir.” The woman said with a bitter smile .

Romon didn’t say much.

The man smelled of alcohol and looked like an alcoholic and a gambler. Many people here are like this, and they spend most of their time in the pub after get off work.

Domestic violence, alcoholism…

These are words that are closely related to them.

Romon doesn’t get involved.

Because even if the man was beaten, it wouldn’t change the status quo, he just came to fulfill the man’s last wish.

“The person who gave you the property should be my younger brother, but I haven’t seen him for a long time, and his condition is not good?” Laurie whispered.

Romon nods, thinks over and over again, and tells her the real situation of the man.

She has a right to know.

After hearing the death of the other party, Laurie’s eyes flashed with heavy grief, and she leaned against the edge of the table, as if she had lost her soul.

Romon didn’t bother her, she needed time to calm down, and Romon needed time to think about what to do with the man’s last wish.

The most free and easy way.

She just dropped two thousand gold pounds, so she should be able to fulfill her last wish, but looking at the family’s situation, no matter how much money, her husband will be completely defeated.

“Ma’am, your younger brother left you two thousand pounds. I can buy you a lifetime bond, so you’ll probably get three pounds a week for the rest of your life. The last.”

This is the safest way.

Broom Empire’s Lifetime Guarantee is paid by the Empire’s finances, there is no bankruptcy, and the amount that can be received is fluctuating with the price.

Perfect for Laurie’s situation.

When the woman heard the amount of two thousand gold pounds, she couldn’t believe it. It was like telling her a fairy tale.

She thought the hundred pounds was the full amount.

Laurie’s mood was very complicated, she gritted her teeth and said, “Sir, to be honest, I don’t know what the life insurance policy is, but after you get the money, you can enjoy it by yourself, but you still I came here with my promise, so I believe in your quality and reason.”

Romon nods, knowing that this woman is very knowledgeable.

He took Laurie and went to Jianhai Bank to apply for a life insurance bond, so that this gold pound was left to her, and as long as she was still alive, she could receive three gold pounds a week, This is already a salary that can only be paid for a very decent job.

Her life could be improved.

And the life insurance cannot be withdrawn and transferred to others, so that she does not have to fear the alcoholic.

After all these things and saying goodbye to Laurie, Romon felt relieved and a big rock fell in his heart.

The Relic Hypocrite Mask is now active as well.

[Relic: Hypocrite Mask]

[Effect: Hide the breath to a certain extent, reduce the sense of presence, and adjust the details of the wearer’s face]

Romon only Symbolically took a gold pound of inheritance, so as to ensure that this relic was activated without any accident.

Relics are the top priority.

In contrast, some gold pounds have completely different values compared to each other.

After doing this, Romon first came to the Ligeia club.

It’s the club’s event again this Sunday, only this time Romon has gone from being a participant to being a bystander.

“These people are all outlaws who want to ascend to the skies with a single leap, or they have no hope, and want to fight for a future. There is their hope here, so even if they know that they will Death, one after another, like a moth rushing towards the flames.”

The hoarse voice sounded

The skinny old man who was raising fish in the pond was holding a fishing rod in his hand. Catch the fish in this black liquid pond.

Romon sat next to him, also holding a fishing rod.

This is his job today, fishing.

The skinny old man’s name is Barcelo, and he is a professional fish breeder in the club. Of course, Romon guessed that this guy used corpses to raise fish, which is naturally nonsense.

In Barceló’s original words, “I feed all the fish I raise. How dare you eat fish raised from dead bodies? Those are just scary words.”

>

However.

This guy kills and will occasionally make a cameo as a killer.

Just now, he directly stabbed a guy who wanted to rob.

That’s what started the conversation above.

Barcelo doesn’t have any burden of killing, he has his own theory.

“I’m a total villain, but these guys are just like me, unforgivable guys by Spiritual God. If some day a great character comes and kills me, the club will be fine . I remember the Great Emperor of Gondor once said that the damned people are going to die, I think this famous saying is very reasonable.”

The Great Emperor of Gondor was the founding emperor of the Broom Empire.

But it is impossible to verify whether this sentence is what he said.

Barcelo is very self-aware, and the murderer kills everyone.

And Romon only found out after getting to know him a bit here that Barcelo is a very talkative person. If this guy didn’t talk much, he wouldn’t be kind enough to tell him a few dangerous places for the first time.

Through talking to him, Romon has basically figured out the operation mode of Ligeia’s club.

Let’s start with the “guests” who are attending events in the club.

They are all folk awakened, basically because of various reasons, they have nowhere to go, and then they come here to participate in activities and fight to the death.

The winner gets a lot of money.

Can be employed by nobles, get a decent job and a stable living environment.

Many nobles and wealthy businessmen themselves are not awakened, but they all need the protection of extraordinary power, and it is very difficult to find a suitable awakened to sign an employment contract.

Just to sign a contract, an awakened with contract-like ability must be present.

Those who sat in the hall and observed were some merchants and nobles.

When they choose their favorite hires, they also take part in the games opened by the club.

Ligeia Club relies on its strong strength, its own reputation, and excellent logistical support.

This is getting bigger and bigger.

There’s a lot of “things” attached to its life within this mighty relic of the Club, which reminds Romon of an anime he’s seen before, Howl’s Moving Castle.

The Ligeia Club is a lot like that magical castle.

As for here employees, but also all kinds of strange things.

It was so cruel and real in the club that those businessmen and nobles recognized it here.

apart from this.

There are many other industries in the Ligeia Club, which are slightly involved in farming, planting, food, etc., but they are all geared to large customers.

The two chatted about various topics while fishing.

“Bite the hook.”

At this time, a flash of joy flashed in Barcelo’s eyes. As a senior fisherman, he immediately grabbed his fishing rod and slowed down. Slow down lever.

A big crucian carp was hooked.

This crucian carp looks extremely plump, but the fish body and the fish head are completely disproportionate, and the fish head is almost as big as two fish bodies.

“I prefer to eat fish heads, so I developed this special species.” Barcelo proudly put the fat head fish into the bucket next to him.

Romon was speechless for a while looking at the aberrant species he bred.

“Are you sure the fish in this pond are all right?”

“No problem, only the fertilizing land of the distorted dwarf will use people to fertilize! He goes up I have been warned by my master for the first time, and now I have changed this bad habit. I swear in the name of my twin Saintess, if I lie, let Saintess curse me to never catch half a fish!”

Barcelo made a poisonous oath.

Romon immediately dispelled his doubts when he saw that he actually took this oath.

Because they are both Weiwei’s retainers, they, like Weiwei, believe in the twin Saintess.

The two stayed here for an afternoon. In the end, Romon caught a full bucket, and Barcelo had no other money except the initial harvest.

Even Romon wondered if Saintess’ curse was in effect.

The two brought fish to the club’s kitchen. This time the club has another game, but the difficulty is still the same.

If you are not strong enough, you will die in the club.

When these people entered the club, they had already understood the consequences. A stunned young man like Romon who suddenly broke in has not been encountered once in a few years.

In the kitchen.

A fat chef with a big belly and a white apron is busy in front of the chopping board, and the kitchen is neatly cleaned. This guy has a knives skill, and a Bone Blade has achieved perfection.

The fatty is Hiram.

Is the chef in the club.

After the two handed him a bucket of fish, Hiram efficiently scraped off the scales, and soon a pot of fragrant fish soup was out of the pot.

“Fragrance, I specially used many kinds of fish to crossbreed with animals to cultivate these fish, each of which has a different taste.”

Barcelo boasted road.

Romon rolled his eyes, speechless at his proud look, but the fish did look like all kinds of strange things, with two heads and lobster-like tails .

Simmered in fish soup, the aroma is tempting.

Romon had a dinner in the club, and Weiwei didn’t show up during this period. I think he was busy with the club. Romon was also happy and left the club after dinner.

This time he got to know a lot of staff in the club.

How to say, after losing the initial mysterious feeling, they are actually just some eccentric guys.

He didn’t spend the night here, but chose to go to the place where Mrs. Field entrusted him, the Jianhai Bureau of Investigation.
