Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 68
The old lady had a really bad temper, but after hearing the name of Father Utravsky, her attitude softened a lot: "It seems that you don't have any proof of identity, right? You believe in the Mother Goddess ?"

Esther shook her head quickly: "No, I don't have a god to believe in."

"Then what is he doing! He doesn't even have a name, annoying!" The old woman glanced at the embarrassed Esther, "Of course, I'm not talking about you, where did you come from?"

"I'm from Tingen."

"So close? There is no better place to stay in Tingen than this 'City of Ten Thousand Capitals'. Why do young people want to find trouble for themselves..."

The two walked up to the second floor, and there were actually many potted plants in the aisle here, decorating the indoor corridor with greenery.

The old woman took out the key from her pocket, opened a door facing the stairs, and signaled Esther to sit down casually. She was talking to Esther while preparing scented tea, and she was quite talkative without stopping.

While complaining about Father Utravsky from time to time, the old lady briefly introduced the situation here to Esther.

Apartment No. [-], Lily of the Flower Street, was first established from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery's support for poor but outstanding students, and it was connected with Backlund Technical College. Such small apartments are scattered in various urban areas, and the southern area of ​​the bridge Adjacent to St. George's District, where the Church of Steam and Machinery is located, within the distribution range of their believers, housing prices are relatively low.

But No. [-] Linglanhua Street is even more special. It even accepts foreign students to stay here, but there must be a letter of guarantee and a letter of recommendation certified by the other party's tutor.

But the old woman was still wearing the Holy Emblem of the Mother Earth, which made Esther very puzzled.

"That big guy really didn't tell you anything? I'm the former bishop of Harvest Church."

"Then why are you responsible for..."

The old woman interrupted Esther's question with a smile: "This house was left to me by my father. He used to be a member of the special operations team of the church. It was only when I was very young that my parents My mother took me back to Feneport because of a relationship disagreement. It was ridiculous because my father always put motor oil on the dining table, and they could argue for an hour..."

Her voice lowered slightly, and the old lady was obviously a little lost when talking about this relevant past event.

"Mechanical Heart?" Esther quickly figured out the key.

The old woman raised her eyebrows immediately, and looked Esther up and down: "I can't see that you know a lot, what are you doing? The big man didn't even report to me, and he asked you to come here."

Esther rubbed her head and smiled awkwardly.

"I have said so much, it seems that I haven't introduced myself yet, look at my memory!" The old woman extended a cup of scented tea at the same time, "Aletta Romano, you have to call me Mrs. Romano. Respect the old man!"

Esther held her hand: "Okay, Mrs. Romano, I'm—"

"Wait, are you sure you are suitable to tell me?"

Esther was silent for two seconds, then spoke again: "Luna, Luna Duboa."

So embarrassing, luckily no one can recognize the name...

Mrs. Romano's eyes were strange: "Okay, okay, since you said that, then I'll call you Luna. Are you a Extraordinary? You don't need to tell me what you are, just nod or shake your head."

In order to show her sincerity, Esther could only nod her head.

"Okay, then I'm also a Beyonder, so I hope you don't bring any disasters from outside to this apartment. Since the big man is willing to point you here, at least it means that you are not those bad embryos, and you are not the only Beyonder here. , remember this."

Esther actually didn't understand Mrs. Romano's voice, but she still took notes of what she said.

The next process was smoother than Esther imagined. Mrs. Romano didn't question the details or what she did. She took out a stack of neatly printed contracts in duplicate, and tapped a pen on the table. , indicating Esther to sign and pay after reading it.

In addition to maintaining the cleanliness of the apartment room and furniture, the contract is basically a series of "no trouble" requirements. The lounge, dining room and kitchen on the first floor are all shared, except for Mrs. Romano's own room on the second floor. There are three rental rooms on each floor, sharing the same washroom.

The rent is Friday every Friday. Esther paid two weeks' rent immediately after signing the contract. Mrs. Romano warned her earnestly: "Since you can read and write, you'd better find a stable job as soon as possible. Of course, but Don't put yourself in it... Not every house is occupied now, do you like high or low?"

"Be higher."

Mrs. Romano took out a large number of keys from the drawer, and picked out one of them: "[-], go upstairs and turn right, there are number plates on the doors. Usually don't make too much noise, you are the one downstairs Miss Lang, she is not a good-natured girl."

Esther suddenly felt a little funny. When Mrs. Romano said this, her tone was exactly the same as that of the Balam girl at that time.

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, I—"

Mrs. Romano interrupted Esther again, and she seemed to have an extraordinary enthusiasm for interrupting others: "You paid for it, and there is no point in talking about it, as long as you don't cause trouble during your stay here, yes Mother God bless me. I am an old lady, I am not in the mood to take care of so many things! The nerds from the Church of Steam and Mechanics refused to let me raise the rent, otherwise you will not be able to afford it at all..."

She muttered and drove Esther out of the house, so that Esther didn't even have a chance to express her gratitude.

Holding the key, Esther walked up the stairs dumbfoundedly, and just happened to meet the Balam girl at the top of the stairs on the fifth floor. The dark-skinned lady was holding a few blueprints and poking hard at the chest of the red-haired boy opposite her. Keep the cursing voice extremely low.

Hearing the sound coming from the stairs, the Balam girl cleared her throat quickly, pulled a stiff smile at Esther, threw the blueprints viciously into the arms of the red-haired boy, turned her head and walked into the hanging room. The room with the "[-]" brand.

A blueprint fell to Esther's feet, and she helped the red-haired boy pick it up. He was tall and thin, straight as a lamp post, and he was wearing a beige sweater with balls of thread, with dots on his face. Freckles, a pair of thick half-rim glasses on the bridge of the nose, covering the lively light brown eyes behind.

"Ah, thank you, thank you, Kendela is always so picky about the uniform standard, in Gal's words, it is obsessive-compulsive disorder..."

Esther didn't know what he was talking about, so she just said "You're welcome" and wanted to go upstairs.

"Are you a new resident? Backlund University has already passed the start period, why are you here so late?"

Esther could only stop and smiled politely: "I didn't come to go to college, I just asked someone to find this foothold."

"Oh! So that's it! I'm Rich Andreessen, a freshman from Backlund University. Nice to meet you." The freckles on the red-haired boy's face were slightly red, and he changed the blueprints to his left hand Go up, so I stretched out my right hand and shook Esther twice.

"Luna Duboa, just call me Luna."

Rich was quite curious: "You're not a native of Loen, are you?"

"I'm not, I'm from Tingen."

"Hey, you can call me for anything. I live in [-]. You are going upstairs. It's a pity that you didn't choose the two vacant rooms next to me. I always wanted someone to accompany me in the next room Chatting."

This is a good opportunity for Esther to get to know other residents, and she doesn't mind chatting with this talkative gentleman: "You seem to know the residents here very well? Is there anyone else living on the fourth floor?"

"Of course I understand, I was the one who suggested Mrs. Romano initiate the party, at least let everyone know what the name of the person who usually greets each other is!
On the fourth floor lived Josephine Müller and Agnes Thorpin, both in my class, both from Lemburg, the black-haired Agnes, the blond Josephine, two The lady is always inseparable and travels with her companion.Four Zero Three lives in Gal, Galvin Leples, the guy who likes to wear dark glasses.Gal is graduating next year, what kind of sociology or psychology does he seem to be studying?I can't understand something so weird...

On the fifth floor is Candra Gonzales, that fierce and brilliant guy you just saw.She always scolded my drawings for not being neat enough, and refused to help me try to build these things.[-] is also empty, but the gentleman at [-] is very mysterious, elusive and never responds to anyone, and you probably don't want to be stared at by him viciously.

[-] and [-] are also vacant, but Noon Murphy, who moved in last year, lives in [-]. He seems to be a teaching staff of a public elementary school in the East District, and he always leaves early and returns late.However, Nuoen's character is quite gentle, he is very familiar with history, and seems to like the mysticism very much, but he always likes to be distracted when listening to people talking. "

Rich really talked a lot, and Esther felt that she was going to lose her mind. She shook the key in her hand: "I am a new resident of [-]. Thank you for introducing me so much, but I probably just remembered Can't live."

"Hahaha, I will remember it soon. When we meet every day, we will always look familiar."

"Thank you very much, I'll go to the room first."

"Huh? How about I help you move...you don't even have any luggage?" Rich was still talking, and it was rare that a newcomer was willing to patiently listen to his gossip. He didn't want to just let Esther go.

"No thanks, I'll just go up by myself!"

Esther sped up her feet and rushed to the top of the stairs in two or three steps, leaving behind the too chatty Mr. Andreessen.

She'd better wait for face-to-face communication with other residents, and Esther's head was dizzy with this person's rapid-fire introduction.

Richie couldn't finish it, but he was embarrassed to catch up with Esther to chat. He scratched his curled red curly hair even more messily, and walked down the stairs quickly: "There is a new resident coming to No. [-], I have to go quickly Tell Gal... Luna Duboa? That's an odd name."
