Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 359 Thirstemia in New Birmingham
Yanan is a city that does not exist. It is only passed down in the dream of the Son of God, taken from the long-term memory of Amanda's previous life.

The Son of God has been stagnant in the dream for a long time. Those dream eaters turned into hunters in his dream to hunt down similar fallen beasts, but they have not yet been able to determine the most powerful hunter, who was born as the body of the Son of God. .

Amanda was lying on the wooden bed in the cramped room of the cruise ship, with her eyes closed, staring at the ocean of souls outside the pyramid in the spiritual world.

When the eyes of the whole of Europe and even the whole world were focused on Paris, he had already boarded a ship to Britain alone.

Omega felt the floating of the ocean and said: "Maybe this guy needs our help. As a god, he is too weak. I am even worried that the perfect hunter born in the end will replace him."

Amanda is not prepared to interfere with Shenzi's plan unless Shenzi asks them for help.His mind was still busy planning what to confirm first after arriving in Britain.

There is no doubt that the base camp of the dark camp has moved to Europe.Under the seemingly peaceful situation, how many cities are still hiding dark secrets?

Now it's time to lift the veil.

The ship stopped at the port of New Birmingham. This industrial city's production capacity once exceeded that of London. It is a city in the center of British England with extremely developed industrial civilization.In the original timeline, Watt improved the steam engine here, which was the origin of the entire industrial revolution.

The city connects London and Liverpool and is also a major traffic artery.It is also very convenient to go to the ancestral home of the de la Pole family, the ancient castle built in the time of King James I, which has now been converted by the town hall into Ikeham Abbey.

In major traffic towns, you can always find out a lot of well-known information, but the ability to piece it together into unknown information is a unique ability of a few people.

Amanda and Omega may not be smart enough, but Black Cat is smart enough and will proactively remind them of important information.

"Coming from France? Go and change the francs into pounds first. We don't provide currency exchange services here. Also, some old wine drinkers hate those sissies in France. You'd better behave masculinely."

The hotel owner "patiently" reminded him that he just didn't want anything bad to happen at night, and then the patrolmen would come to cause trouble again.

Amanda changed the money and checked in smoothly.It seems that no matter what world it is, people in Britain always hate the French.If Europe can form a unified alliance entity, just reaching an agreement on money and trade will greatly promote the development of Europe as a whole, but it seems that the British are not very happy.

dong dong!

“Sir, the Birmingham Evening News, if you need the Times of London we’ve got that too!”

The sound of newsboys could be heard outside the door, and they were constantly selling newly printed newspapers.These out-of-town guests, who have enough money to stay in a hotel, may be more interested in local news and more likely to buy their newspapers than sell them on the street.

Of course, they may be interrupted because of the hard-won rest after traveling and traveling, and they may be scolded.

Amanda was in good spirits, opened the door and bought a copy of all kinds of newspapers.

This newsboy's name is James, which is very similar to the name of King James I of England, but he is obviously not dressed like a prince or aristocrat. When the weather gradually turns colder, he is still wearing summer sandals.

"Sir, you are so generous. You can tell that you are an outsider. If you need to inquire about anything, you can come to me. The service is free, as long as you can buy a newspaper every day while you are in Birmingham."

James said flatteringly. He was two years younger than Amanda, but in terms of sophistication and tact, he was already almost like an adult.

"Aren't you going to school at your age?" Amanda was a little curious. He asked James to sort out the newspapers and lay them out in categories.

Birmingham is a big city, many times more prosperous than the small town of Louisiana.

Even in a remote place like the small town of Louisiana, adults will send their children to school or a free missionary school when they reach school age.At least thirteen or fourteen years old before going to work in a factory, because children who have read books are more efficient when working in factories.

Even if the James family has any financial difficulties, at least completing some basic education can benefit lifelong.

James smiled, the freckles on his face fluttering, and said: "Sir, I studied. Grandpa said that I only need to be literate. Selling newspapers here can help support the family, and the boss will also take the leftover food from the guests at night. Send it to us. It's much more comfortable than working in those factories."

"Also, admissions to missionary schools will last until the age of 15. I can go there again when I am 15 and graduate in one year. In the past few years, I can save a lot of money for my grandfather."

Looking at James's smile, Amanda knew that there were many things that she couldn't change. He asked:
"Is your grandpa sick? I thought you would save money for yourself."

James raised his head and thought for a moment before saying:
"I don't know if grandpa is sick. He just buys a lot of chemicals and various materials. He is an alchemist. He passed the academy's license when he was young, but he never could get a higher-level license, so he went to I changed my career to become a doctor. Because of the smog from the factory, many people are sick here, especially pneumoconiosis, and there are also many diseases where the blood is contaminated by heavy metals. Grandpa spends a lot of money to treat them, but charges very little."

"That's it. It seems that your grandpa is a good man." Amanda nodded slightly, "Maybe I have some connections and can apply for some subsidies for your grandpa's clinic."

James was a little happy when he heard this, but he shook his head quickly and said:
"No sir, thank you for your kindness. To be honest, my grandfather's clinic has not been approved. He can only use the alchemist's license to conduct some medical experiments and use these permissions to treat diseases, so he can only charge the most basic fees. If If I apply for a subsidy, the city hall will investigate my grandfather's treatment behavior. Although he has helped many patients, not all of them are good people. If they know that some of these treatment practices are illegal, they will definitely report and demand compensation .”

Amanda frowned and said:
"Well, maybe I can get rid of these troubles. But now, I hope to see more newspapers, preferably records of all noteworthy events in the past year. Help me find it, I will pay Give you adequate compensation."
