Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 91 Am I So Worthless?

April 1588, 4 in the old calendar, overcast.

A damp and sticky smell filled the air.

The fire in the fireplace was burning, trying to extinguish the damp breath.

Rhodes sat at the dining table enjoying the breakfast made by Xiuji.

After the resurrection ceremony last night, West took Illya away, and they decided to settle in 111 York Street.

As for the conversation that was originally agreed with Margaret after West's resurrection ceremony was over, it was temporarily postponed because of some things.

Margaret's mentor seems to have made a new discovery in the inheritance of the seven virtues.

After returning home from the resurrection ceremony last night, Rhodes received a call from Margaret.

She needs to go back to the academy for further inheritance research, and at the same time find some literature on the treatment of Cindy's granddaughter Katie.

Rhodes didn't get too entangled in this matter, he just told Margaret to do her best.

As for the newly obtained gold nameplate, Rhodes has no intention of using it rashly for the time being.

He decided to wait a little longer, at least get some information related to R'lyeh and the Seven Sins before deciding whether to use it.

Whether the repeated gold nameplates would cause unnecessary trouble, or have any other effects, he didn't know.

After breakfast, he packed up and Rhodes went out.

Finding a deserted alley and changing into the plague doctor's costume stored in Xiuji's body, Rhode mixed into the crowd with a serious medicine box on his shoulders.

Xiuji dangled steadily on Rhode's waist as a medicine box pendant.

As for Aesop, after two days of repairs, his body has recovered a lot, but the recovery of strength needs time to heal.

Some parasite-plagued residents along the Thames underwent free surgery sponsored by Margaret on the second floor of the Authority on 4 April.

Those who underwent surgery required postoperative follow-up visits and dressing changes after a 12-day period.

as a responsible practitioner.

Rhodes recorded the address and name of each patient at that time.

Today is the day for review.

The humid air makes the whole of old London look rather stuffy.

The atmosphere on the street was a bit abnormal, and there were constant conversations.

Most of the pedestrians are looking at the sky.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and stared at the other end of the sky.

A huge zeppelin is flying in that direction.

As an outpost in the sky of Old London, the Zeppelin has the duty of scouting targets.

At the end of the gray sky, there seemed to be something azure approaching.

Although the distance is far away, Rhodes can vaguely feel a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

Fortunately, far enough away.

The old London government has plenty of time to deal with possible demons or disasters.

As for all of this, it has little to do with Rhodes.

Right now, he still has to fulfill his responsibilities as a doctor.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come on, what's the matter?"

A familiar voice came from behind the door.

The door was opened, and a brown-haired young man stood at the door. He looked at the familiar figure at the door in surprise.

"Olaf, long time no see, how is your mother?"

Olaf, who had reacted, changed his face suddenly at this moment. He looked around and saw that no one noticed, so he pulled Rhodes in the door.

Bang!
The door is closed.

Olaf leaned against the door panel and looked at Rhodes with uneasy eyes.

"Mr. Epidemic Doctor, you are wanted by the Administration!"

"Internal wanted?"

"Yes, Chief Joseph personally issued an order. Of course, your arrest is inside, and no one outside knows about it." Olaf walked to the window and carefully closed the curtain.

He carefully took out a folded wanted list from the cabinet.

"I originally wanted to give it to you when I met you."

Rhodes took the wanted list, opened it, and found that the photo on it was actually the same as the fuzzy photo in the newspaper.

"Don't the Administration have some clear photos?" Rhodes asked.

"Uh, I heard that Director Joseph asked the newspaper office for it, but the newspaper office responded that because the reporter who took the photo was too nervous, he didn't take any clear photos, and they were all blurry photos."

"However, I heard someone say that Director Joseph lost his temper in the office because of these blurry photos, saying that the people in the newspaper office are a bunch of stinky shit who want money and shame."

Olaf told what he had heard.

"Yeah." Rhode didn't bother with the photos anymore, and continued to look at his wanted list.

When he saw his wanted amount, he frowned.

"10 crowns? Am I so worthless?"

Rhodes felt a little suspicious about his worth, and he was wanted only with a bonus of 10 crowns.

"Actually, this internal wanted is not really wanted. It's just that Director Joseph wants to find you. The money comes from his private coffers. 10 is already the upper limit. He seems to have something to talk to you about. .”

"Of course, if the conversation doesn't go well, he will probably adjust your wanted list to the city's wanted list next time. At that time, your reward amount will be greatly increased. not pay." Olaf briefly told about the wanted amount.

"I understand. He just wants to talk to me about something. If we can agree, everything will be business as usual. If not, I will become a wanted criminal?"

Rhodes seemed to understand the meaning of Olaf's words.

"Of course, you can understand that." Olaf nodded.

"What does he want to do with me?" Rhodes wondered.

"It seems that a congressman in this night attack was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the Operations Section. Director Joseph was asked to come forward to settle the matter. I guess he wants to recruit you. As long as you can join the Administration, then things will be fine It can be resolved smoothly." Olaf seemed to have a hint of expectation in his tone, and he heard this information from Section Chief Marshall.

Rhodes looked at Olaf who was eager to try.

It seems that he has some expectations for himself to be able to join the Authority.

Of course, Rhodes can fully understand. After all, Olaf's position is on the side of the authority. It is already very good for him to be able to tell himself these things.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'm here to help your mother for a follow-up visit. How is her condition?" Rhodes waved his hand, signaling Olaf not to say any more.

"My mother is much better. She has been very active recently. She even went out to buy groceries with her friends today." Olaf checked the time, it was 4:17 in the afternoon.

"At this point, she should be back soon, please wait a while." Olaf whispered.

"Ah."

Rhodes is not in a hurry, after all, this is the last patient who needs a follow-up visit.

He also intentionally left Olaf in the last house, and the purpose was naturally to find out the attitude of the Administration towards his performance in the night attack.

Unexpectedly, before I asked myself, Olaf told me everything in one go.

It seems that although what he did was a bit excessive, it seems that Joseph has no intention of going into it for the sake of the Golden Lion family.

Wanted internally, as long as the epidemic doctors seldom appear recently, it won't have much impact on him.

The follow-up is to wait for the feedback from John before making further plans.

Suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door.

Olaf signaled Rhodes to hide, and he hurriedly got up and opened the door.

An elderly man anxiously said to Olaf who was standing at the door:

"No, Olaf, your mother was forcibly taken into a carriage on the street!!!"
