Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 25 Are You Cursing Me?
April 1588, 4 in the old calendar, sunny.

Rarely good weather.

The bright sunshine that has not been seen for many days,
It caused the chimneys standing in the old London city to spit out two more puffs of gray smoke, trying to cover it again.

Inside the slaughterhouse.

After a night of rest and treatment, Ms. Angelina finally woke up at 9:14 in the morning.

"Oh, you little bastards, do you want to peek at beautiful ladies getting dressed? Get out of here!" The same violent curse as always.

A smile appeared on the faces of the people who provoked it.

"Mother, it's great that you're okay." Will held Angelina's hand, his eyes were red.

Since Rhodes brought his mother back last night, he has been by his mother's side.

Snapped!
Angelina slapped Will weakly on the back.

"Little bastard, are you cursing me?"

"No, mother, you know, I love you." Will's tears flowed out uncontrollably. After listening to Rhode's story last night, especially the bones in the other two coffins, Will Er is still afraid.

Fortunately, he found his mother in time, otherwise, he would lose his only close relative.

"Little bastard, why are you crying? I didn't cry when you and your father went to the battlefield, and I didn't cry when I took you to bury him in the cemetery. Why did you make me cry!" Angelina rubbed With her eyes closed, her emotions were also hard to suppress.

Those days trapped in darkness made her feel terrified.

Endless darkness, enclosed space.

Even with her big heart, she almost couldn't hold on.

"You have to thank Rhodes for this matter."

"Ah."

"My dear Rhodes, where are you?" Angelina looked at the crowd around her, but she didn't see the most handsome face.

"Mother, the head of the small field has gone to the management bureau."

Old London Authority.

Rhodes, who turned into a plague doctor, is sitting in the meeting room on the third floor.

John went to Director Joseph with the compiled report. Margaret was sitting by the window, basking in the sun, and she was flipping through a thick book.

"Ingeville Linguistics" is printed on the cover of the book.

His predecessor had dabbled in it before, but because the ancient text and language in it were too complicated, he felt bored and bored after just reading the beginning, so he gave up.

I didn't expect Margaret to watch it so seriously.

As expected of the princess of the golden lion family who is known for her knowledge.

Rhodes gave Margaret a brand new evaluation in his heart.

It seems to have noticed Rhodes' gaze.

Margaret turned her head suddenly, she looked at Rhodes, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

Margaret put down her pen and turned to look at Rhodes.

A blue and white tight-fitting tunic with pure white breeches and a pair of black Martin boots, Margaret always wears a simple and capable dress.

"Mr. Plague Doctor, what do you think about the unnamed village described by Investigator John?"

"I am only responsible to you."

Rhodes didn't want to answer this kind of question. As a doctor in role-playing games, Rhodes had his own awareness. Besides, as a relative of a victim, Rhodes found it difficult to analyze the matter from an objective perspective. thing.

Margaret curled her lips. Sure enough, as my brother said, Mr. Plague Doctor is a boring person.

However, my brother also said that Mr. Epidemic Doctor has a big shortcoming, so Margaret decided to try it.

She took out her wallet, took a 100-kroner note from it, and put it on the table.

"May I pay 100 kronor to ask your opinion on this matter?"

"Of course, dear Miss Margaret, you need to listen to which side's opinion."

Calmly pocketing the 100 crowns, Rhodes felt the generosity of the Golden Lion Princess.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's money or not, he just wants to be a teacher.

"I hope you can help me analyze how to deal with that unnamed village."

Another 100-kroner bill was placed on the table. Rhodes stood up and put away the money. The tone full of steam and mechanical smell began to echo in the conference room.

"First of all, we have to investigate the cause of this incident, that is, the symbolic meaning of those ancient characters you are looking for now, and secondly, we need to enter the village, and it is best to learn about it from relatively prestigious people in the village. When it comes to specific information, in the end, we need a thorough cleansing of the village."

"Of course, this is an objective analysis."

The voice turned back, and Rhodes finally said in a low voice:
"In terms of subjective analysis, I think we should take people there immediately and sweep the village straight away."

Margaret nodded.

She very much agrees with Mr. Epidemiologist's point of view.

Even the subjective aspects are relatively consistent.

As a person who has inherited the seven virtues, Margaret does not blindly follow the will of the seven virtues, she also has her own concept of good and evil.

In the nameless village described by John, the sins that exist in it can only be redeemed by the blood of sinners.

"Thank you for your analysis."

"it's my honour."

Bang!
The door to the conference room was pushed open.

John walked in.

"Miss Margaret, Mr. Epidemic Doctor, the director has already submitted my report, and I believe the results will come out soon. At the earliest, we can go to that unnamed village tomorrow."

Margaret frowned. She originally thought that the report could be delivered today, but this cumbersome paperwork forced the matter to be delayed.

"Doesn't Director Joseph know that more people may suffer misfortune if one day is delayed?"

"I need to talk to him."

Margaret leaves the conference room.

Watching the back of Margaret disappearing in the corridor, John walked up to Rhodes and said respectfully: "My lord, thank you for your generous help. This time, my name will appear in the middle-level investigator title at the end of the year." on top."

"Ah."

Later, Margaret returned to the meeting room with a blank face.

Although she has repeatedly emphasized the seriousness of the matter, in the eyes of some people, procedural norms are more important.

At this moment, Margaret finally understood that the once fascinating clock tower of the old London government that grandpa said had long been lost in the dark abyss.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the pale streets of old London.

Margaret boarded the return carriage.

She got the final answer, and tomorrow she will be allowed to take her own team to investigate the unnamed village.

Late at night, at home.

Rhodes put 15 crowns in the iron box under the bed, and he planned to save some money to buy a better steam car.

I keep the remaining 1000 or so in my hand, which is enough for his recent food expenses for the time being.

Made myself a meal of poached beef and broccoli.

Rhodes sat on the sofa enjoying the warm light of the fireplace.

Concentrating on the panel, he has not checked the harvest for nearly 5 days.

[Name: Rhodes]

【Physique: 4】

【Spirit: 5】

【Perception: 2】

[Attribute point: 3]

[The Power of Sin: Unlocked (unlocked after the total attribute reaches 50)]

近5天的时间，属性点增加了3点，虽然没有之前1天就增加1点来的快，但相较在屠宰场的时候7天增加1点快多了。

As Rhodes continued to come into contact with more people and things, the power of sin absorbed also increased.

Add all 3 attribute points to physique.

【Physique: 7】

Rhodes' physique has been greatly improved.

At the same moment, he felt that his muscles were twisting and changing in his body.

Perhaps it was because adding only 1 point of stamina before could not bring a more intuitive feeling. This time, adding 3 points at once, the intuitive feeling brought about is that Rhodes' height has abruptly increased from 183 to 184.

At the same time, his physique has also expanded a bit compared to before.

The muscle density and coordination of the whole body have been greatly increased.

The power intensity has almost doubled.

The simplest analogy is that in the past, Rhodes and the bull needed both hands to resist the wrestling force, but now one hand can knock the bull down.

Rhodes is quite satisfied with his physical growth.

He walked into the training room, started training, and his body needed to adapt as soon as possible.
