Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 133 Margaret's commission (4k)

April 1588, 4 in the old calendar, overcast.

A haze hangs over old London.

With the approach of the deep sea, more and more news is being passed on among the people.

The people who couldn't distinguish the authenticity of the news were even bewitched to hold a prayer ceremony that looked like a joke on the street.

Of course, this is a joke in the eyes of professionals, but among the public, it is a means for those greedy people to make money.

For this reason, Marshall, the acting director of the Old London Authority, dispatched a large number of staff and arrested a large number of illegal people since last night. This matter was also published on the news page of the "Old London Morning News".

Of course, Rhodes, who knew the inside story of this matter, would not think that the group of ridiculous prayers was really just a group of people who falsely passed on false news for money.

After all, after Elder Moore rushed to the scene with a large number of administrative staff last night, almost the entire Graaki Church was arrested.

Marshall was not relentless. In his opinion, thunderous means must be adopted in this matter. Only in this way can the group of rats hiding in the dark corners and planning something be deterred.

Put down the newspaper.

Rhodes took a sip of the black tea on the table.

Regarding what happened last night, since Margaret arrived, he knew that there was no need for him to appear.

The eventual development of things also tended to stabilize after that.

The investigation on the "Apocalypse" was also handed over to Marshall by Elder Moore under Rhode's instruction.

How to deal with the matter in the future is beyond his control.

As for one more thing.

The missing magic book "Apocalypse of Glaaki" gave Rhodes some ideas.

The Ygolonac who appeared last night made him a little curious. Although it was just a clone, perhaps at some suitable time, it is not impossible to summon the great demon through the magic book to resist the great demon. .

After all, in Rhodes' distant hometown, the family of flowers, there is a saying passed down by his ancestors.

"Learn skills from barbarians to control barbarians."

Using demons to deal with demons, using demons as tools, was also carried out by Rhodes before he could use magic power to possess the awakened power of sin.

Perhaps finding a way to find the magic book "Glaaki Revelations" would be of great help to him.

Rhodes looked at his attribute panel.

[Name: Rhodes]

【Physique: 20】

【Spirit: 10】

【Perception: 2】

[Attribute point: 15]

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

The remaining 15 attribute points have not been used, and the total attribute points have reached 47 points. As long as you get 3 more points, you can awaken.

After awakening and gaining the ability to protect himself, Rhodes is going to enter the memory fragments in the subspace presented by Naia to find clues about the sunken city.

If the problem can be solved before the deep sea descends.

For ordinary people throughout Old London, that was a catastrophe averted.

Of course, these things are based on the premise that Rhodes has sufficient strength.

If the clues he finds are things that he cannot accomplish alone, he will only choose to anonymously deliver them to the Administration, and he himself will lead the group of remnants of the old era who lived in the slaughterhouse before the deep sea descends. to survive as long as possible.

Personal power is limited after all.

In the face of disasters that human beings cannot face.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, after the 50-point attribute awakening, the ability Rhodes gained can give him the ability to resist disasters.

As for now, Rhodes drank the last sip of black tea.

After morning tea, prepare your luggage and go out.

He planned to accumulate enough attribute points as soon as possible.

As for where to go today, there are a few.

First of all, the orphanage. During the call with Margaret last night, Rhodes learned that West's wife Ilya had fallen into a coma. Lia's condition.

The second one is the XC area, along the Thames River, the home of Plague Cindy, there is something about how to treat his granddaughter, and Margarita has already got an idea.

Gray sky, damp air.

The streets were full of vicious abuse.

Perhaps it was Rhodes' illusion. Since last night, the mood of the people on the street has become relatively more irritable, without the peace of the past.

It is often just a small matter, which will be guided by the emotions of both parties and become a big event.

There was abuse and fighting everywhere.

Rhodes even saw an aunt with a bucket waist standing at the door chatting with someone, chatting and chatting, the two suddenly quarreled with flushed faces.

And one thing that aunt did made Rhodes feel speechless.

She went home and ran out with a bucket, and poured all the filth in it on the person who quarreled with her in front of passers-by.

The whole street is filled with bad stench.

Feces of chickens, ducks, geese and livestock are everywhere.

The whole of Old London seemed to have fallen into some kind of chaos overnight.

The unmanaged situation is of course only the feeling of most people. The actual situation is that Marshall finally found out about the "Apocalypse" and the hidden people after the incident during the overnight interrogation last night.

That Congressman Seth.

It's like a big joke.

All the interrogation process and content of the matter were passed on to Parliament by Marshall.

But things were suppressed like this.

The reason of the parliament is that if this matter is exposed at this time, it will deal a serious blow to the prestige of the parliament.

The whole of old London is already on the brink of the pressure limit, if this incident is exposed, it will completely ignite the bomb.

By that time, Marshall could not bear the turmoil that would be caused by the chaos of old London.

The results of the people in the management bureau who have been busy for a long time have been suppressed in this way, and naturally everyone is full of dissatisfaction.

Although everyone is still working, the entire administration is almost in a semi-paralyzed state.

Even the chief of the affairs department, Gnar, asked for leave today and stayed at home on the grounds of being unwell.

Of course, all these news were passed to Rhodes through John's confidant inside the management bureau, and Rhodes only knew of it.

However, the affairs of the administration are not within the scope of Rhodes' consideration.

Rhodes didn't even care what they would become. He got off the carriage with a smile on his face and looked at Margaret who came out of the orphanage to greet him.

"Margaret, long time no see. Compared with the past, you seem to have changed a lot."

Rhodes glanced back and forth over Margaret.

He was dressed in pure white medieval knight armor with a big ponytail and a white rapier pinned to his waist.

The whole person looks like a female knight full of classical charm.

Margaret also had a smile on her face.

She generously showed herself to Rhodes, and even if the conditions did not allow it at the moment, she was very much looking forward to having another one-on-one training with Rhodes.

She also had a lot of things she wanted to say to Rhodes, but when the words came to her lips, thinking of West's anxious appearance, those words held in her heart were transformed into a short greeting.

"Long time no see."

"Let's go, I'll take you there, Illya's situation doesn't look very good."

Margaret walked and talked, leading the way.

Rhodes followed behind Margaret, seeing her ponytail swaying left and right, and the more vigorous figure under the knight's armor, subconsciously smacked his mouth.

Today's Margaret, after a period of special training, should have become much stronger.

"What exactly happened?"

He didn't go into details on the phone last night. Rhodes frowned when he heard Margaret's words and thought of Ygolonac that West and Ilya met yesterday.

"Illya has been in a coma, and she woke up briefly during this period. She narrated that a lot of dust and haze appeared in her sight, and the whole room was filled with a lot of mold and spores, and there were some very strange creatures. , they live all around us.”

A dull hair on Margaret's head shook, and she had a serious expression on her face.

In fact, she had heard of this situation in Illya's mentor's teaching.

In this case, when ordinary people see things that do not exist in their lives, it is actually possible to activate the so-called spiritual vision.

Generally, it is only after coming into contact with some great demons with their own spiritual pollution or the objects they host that they suffer a strong impact. This situation often brings about a strong mental stimulation of the victim.

They often have their brains automatically enter a shutdown state because they cannot accept what they see and their brain capacity exceeds their own constant.

In a general sense, it is like a difference engine that is stuck in a deadlock and unable to operate.

And often in this case, the victim's brain will fall into death under the self-protection mechanism.

Become a person who is alive but dead.

And the other kind of people who are born with spiritual vision, although they can also see things that ordinary people cannot see, but because of their abnormal talent and brain structure are also different from ordinary people, they are often able to adapt to all kinds of unknown things that appear in life. Factors, and some people are even able to use this talent to make money.

What Margaret knew about the current situation was to wait for death, but because of West's plea and the guidance of fate, she decided to seek Rhode's help.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

Illya's state, if he guessed right, should be that her brain couldn't bear the sudden change of perception, and her spirit was impacted by a large amount of strong pollution, her perception expanded, her spirit vision was activated, and she fell into a sudden Brain dead state.

If it is generally explained by modern medicine, it becomes a vegetative state.

The poor lady.

Fortunately, this era is not an ordinary world, there are still demons and steam machinery technology.

Although the development of medicine is still very backward, but because Rhodes has the authoritative book Robert's Notebook, it records a lot of things that subvert modern traditional medicine and classical medicine, and combines a lot of demonic medical skills created by demonic experiments canon.

Let Rhodes learn a lot of strange surgical operations.

"Rhode, this is the treatment entrustment money, including Cindy's granddaughter's treatment expenses, a total of 20 kroner checks."

Although Margaret has become stronger, the unique temperament of a rich woman has not disappeared, and even compared with the past, her shots have become more generous.

Rhodes was also not polite, and he was quite natural.

The two smiled at each other.

Rhodes admired Margaret's charming temperament, while Margaret felt that Rhodes was still so reliable.

There is nothing that Rhodes can't solve. If there is a problem, just add money.

The two came to the second floor of the orphanage.

Go into the lounge.

In the lounge, West knelt by the bed, holding Illya's cold hand, feeling extremely sad.

It was hard to resurrect his lover.

But because she was stupid and didn't take good care of her lover, she once again fell into a bad environment.

Obviously, he had already promised Ilya to take good care of her, but he couldn't do anything.

Of course, it's not like there's no chance.

Last night, he asked Ygolonac through the brass creation in the room, trying to find a solution, but the answer he gave was that although he knew that there was a big man who could treat this symptom, the trace of that big man But hard to find.

Even if you follow the other person's breath to find it, you will often lose it very quickly.

It's as if the other party has discovered the trajectory of their actions in advance, and they will always go to unknown areas.

The situation is hopeless for West.

"Illya, my love, it's all my fault that I didn't take good care of you." West lowered his head, feeling very bad.

He didn't even notice the arrival of Margaret and Rhodes.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of a pair of familiar knight boots out of the corner of his eye that he noticed Margaret's arrival.

He immediately got up and looked at Margaret. Similarly, he found Rhodes behind Margaret.

Sure enough, just as he guessed, Miss Margaret knew Mr. Rhodes.

"West, don't be sad. I invited Mr. Rhodes here to help Illya." Margaret had already known about Rhodes from West.

However, she didn't say that Rhodes was a plague doctor, but used Rhodes' original identity.

"He used to study medicine with his grandfather. Illya's situation can be handed over to him."

West glanced at Rhodes, saw the confident expression on the other's face, and subconsciously wanted to refute.

After all, Egolonac had already said that only that legendary figure could do it, but when he thought that this matter was decided by Miss Margaret, he swallowed his rebuttal again.

Instead, a respectful look appeared on his face.

After all, he was loyal to Margaret. If it wasn't for the help of the princess from the Golden Lion family, Illya wouldn't even be able to be resurrected.

"If possible, I will leave everything to you, Mr. Rhodes."

"Well, don't worry, Ilya's situation has not entered the worst situation."

Rhodes had carefully observed Illya's situation just now, and her complexion did not turn pale, but still kept a little rosy, which shows that the impact the other party encountered was not serious, and it can even be said that she only suffered a slight ripple, not Active malicious attack.

Margaret glanced at Rhodes, saw the confident expression on his face, and nodded seriously.

"West, I'll leave this place to Dr. Rhodes, let's leave first."

While on the road, the two had already communicated.

After all, Aesop is required to perform partial brain surgery without the assistance of precision instruments. In order not to reveal his identity, he can only use the method of clearing people.

"Well, please, Dr. Rhodes."

West didn't think too much about it, after all, Miss Margaret had found someone, so he still had to give him this trust.

He watched the two of them leave the operating room.

Rhodes looked at Illya, pulled over the chair, sat aside, closed his eyes and meditated.

There are actually two ways to treat Illya's symptoms.

One is to perform minimally invasive adjustments through local surgery on the brain. Although this can temporarily revive the operator, as time goes by, patients who cannot relieve the state of spiritual vision may still become vegetative again.

The other type is the person who has activated the spiritual vision himself. By killing the weird creatures that exist in the environment, and then completing the treatment through partial brain surgery, this can ensure that the patient can remain healthy within a certain range of activities.

But he didn't have vision.

However, he did have a guess.

Rhodes looked at the attribute panel in his sight, and the perception of 2 points only gave him the five senses of ordinary people.

If the perception is increased to 10 points, perhaps the passive that is turned on is likely to be spiritual vision.

After all, clairvoyants are naturally perceptive people.

Thinking of this, in order to solve the sequelae, Rhodes immediately added some attribute points to perception.
