Dominate the Treacherous Realm

"This is it."

　　 "Then let's go."

　　 The Gear Man jumped forward and was actually "sucked" in by the map. Jenkins hesitated, hugged the cat in his arms, and jumped, followed by the gear man and disappeared.

　　 The two and a cat fell from a high altitude, but when they approached the ground, they suddenly slowed down, and finally landed firmly on the ground at the entrance of the manor with their feet.

　　 The sky is still light rain, the door of the manor is open, and an old man dressed as a housekeeper is holding an umbrella to welcome the arrival of the carriage.

　　 The carriage had come to the door and stopped. The coachman remained still and some money. The lady corresponding to the statuette stood in front of the carriage door with a bag in one hand and an umbrella in the other, looking up at the manor.

　　 The world is still still at this moment, Jenkins looks at the gear man and motions it to speak. It stands in the rain like Jenkins, avoiding rain like him.

　　 stretched out his right hand and shook his finger:

　　 "Look, the target is this lady."

　　 There is only one woman, so the goal cannot be mistaken.

　　 "What do I need to obtain from her?"

　　 "The heart of selfless dedication."

"what?"

　　 Even if I heard it clearly, I couldn’t help but ask:

　　 "The heart of selfless dedication?"

　　 "Do you need me to praise your hearing?"

　　 "No need..."

　　 He also considered that what needs to be obtained is not the entity, but this situation happens to be the most difficult.

　　 "The so-called heart of selfless dedication...what is it? Since I want to obtain it, then at least tell me what it looks like or how it is."

　　 "That is the special substance that can be condensed in this treacherous state. You can think that it is the fruit of personality, experience, a small amount of soul residue, emotions, etc."

　　 "Then since it is not an entity, how do I get it?"

　　 "This is your problem. Now that the savior has come here, I think this kind of small problem, of course you can solve it."

Chapter 2191 Evelyn, the governess

　　 "I will solve it myself...It's the end anyway, it's nothing."

　　 Jenkins said slowly, then glanced at Gear Man:

　　 "Then let's start."

　　 "Okay, then, let's get started."

　　 The sound fell, and the still world began to flow. The change caught between the fingers of the coachman continued to be counted, and the words stuck in the mouth of the old housekeeper spread into the rain:

"Ms. Evelyn, thank you for being able to arrive on time, oh, the weather is really bad. Let's not talk here, please come in, the servant has already prepared towels and hot tea, maybe you can have a drink before continuing This week’s course with the lady."

　　 Then, as if not seeing Jenkins and the gear man beside him, he led the lady Evelyn towards the inside of the manor.

　　 "Can't I participate in it? I just thought about how to explain my presence here."

　　 Jenkins said again, follow up with Gearman. The servants holding the umbrellas closed the gate of the manor behind them, as if waiting for them to enter.

"People can see us and assume that we really should be here. But only if you take the initiative to contact them, they will take the initiative to interact with you. When interacting, they will think you are someone you can trust, but this will not make you Get what you want directly."

　　 "Understood, time was temporarily suspended just now, and the sense of existence is thin now."

　　 "What do you mean?"

　　 The Gear Man obviously didn't understand what Jenkins meant, and Jenkins had no intention of explaining. The courtyard walk of the manor was not long, so Jenkins took two quick steps to catch up, and caught up with the old butler and Ms. Evelyn in the middle of the rainy courtyard.

　　 Mrs) Ms. Evelyn?"

　　 he asked tentatively, the woman turned her head naturally:

　　 "Yes, good afternoon, but you should call me (Miss) Miss Evelyn more appropriate."

　　 "Good afternoon, Miss Evelyn...Do you need me to carry your bag?"

　　 he asked, the woman looked at him suspiciously, and then handed him the bag:

　　 "Thank you."

　　 The chocolate on his shoulder showed a look of contempt. Jenkins's emotional intelligence showed an extremely unstable state, and even the cat didn't know when it would show such emotional intelligence.

　　 "Miss Evelyn, are you a tutor?"

　　 He came to this conclusion based on the conversation just now.

　　 "Yes, I am Miss Nancy's poetry teacher."

Nancy Franklin is the daughter of Viscount Franklin, the owner of the manor. He is a friend of Hathaway and Britney, but the relationship is not particularly good. Jenkins only met her and said no more than ten sentences, so she didn’t understand very well. This noble girl.

　　 Considering that the goal this time is "selfless dedication", and the identity of the other party is a tutor, then maybe the identity corresponds to what Jenkins wants to obtain.

　　 He thought for a while, and tentatively asked:

　　 "Do you know the heart of selfless dedication?"

"what?"

　　 Miss Evelyn looked at him with a frown, as if she didn't understand this sentence, very puzzled. Only then did Jenkins understand that the so-called "request" is not a request. This time the difficulty of the treacherous state is higher than he thought:

　　 "I mean, Viscount Franklin is very good to Miss Nancy. After all, she is the only daughter. As Miss Nancy's tutor, the Viscount will not treat you badly, right?"

　　 "It's okay."

　　 The woman perfunctorily did not tell him the specific income as a tutor as Jenkins imagined.

　　 "It seems that progress is not going very well."

　　 Gear Man walked aside and said, Jenkins shook his head:

"The fare paid to the driver just now is the exact change, which means that she is ready. If it is not financially difficult, usually the whole money will be given, and the remaining change will be used as a tip. Preparing the exact amount of money indicates that her financial situation is actually not not good."

　　 He looked at the lady's dress carefully again:

"Being a tutor for the noble lady, I must not dress very shabby. This suit should be her best dress, but you can see the creases on the dress, which shows that her residence is not large, so when storing her clothes, she must The clothes are folded, so there are such obvious creases on this dress. The obvious creases also indicate that the clothes have been folded for a long time. Maybe she will only wear this dress when she is a tutor. This also proves that this lady's economic situation is not optimistic."

　　He paused, then said:

"She is still a chu woman and should be living alone. As a single woman of about 25 years old, the biggest cost of living should be rent. She can't have her own house in Nolan. I know the house price here. Therefore, if there is no Bad habits such as gambling should not be costly for a single woman. But in this case, her life is still relatively tight, which shows that she is saving money deliberately and that she won’t be paid very much for this job."

　　 "What does saving money have to do with the amount of remuneration?"

　　 Gearman asked again.

"It's very simple. Saving money means that she can't just do one job. The old housekeeper said just now that this is this week's course, which means that there is only one class a week. If you are paid a lot, I don't think Miss Evelyn will not There will be only one class a week."

　　 Alexia is not only Dolores’ tutor in Luen, but also a tutor in Nolan, so Jenkins understands the industry. Generally speaking, two classes a week are the norm, at least in Nolan.

　　 "So you conclude through these undocumented inferences that her income as a tutor is not high?"

"Yes it is."

　　 The above inferences are of course full of loopholes. What really made Jenkins come to the conclusion was that he had heard Briney laugh at Viscount Franklin’s stinginess, so the income of hired tutors could not be high. Of course, there is no need to tell the gear people about these things. Jenkins knows it himself.

　　 "But this is strange. Miss Evelyn does this job purely to save money, so what does this have to do with ‘selfless dedication’? She is not a teacher to spread knowledge at all."

　　 Jenkins looked at Gear Man, who did not answer, but reminded:

　　 "They are going in."

　　 A group of four have already stepped up the steps to the entrance of the manor. The maid had been waiting here long ago and handed Miss Evelyn a scrubbing towel. Because the rain was not too heavy, her clothes were not wet, so she didn't need to change her clothes.

　　 The girl waiting for class is still taking a nap, and the maids have already gone to wake up. Before Miss Nancy Franklin was ready, Miss Evelyn went to the study on the second floor of the manor alone to wait.

　　 This is the study room of the noble lady, not the study room of the elders. Jenkins and the Gearman also walked in. Of course, the servants did not prepare refreshments for them and the cat.

Chapter 2192 Teachers and Responsibilities

　　 "How is this job?"

　　 Jenkins put Miss Evelyn's bag on the sofa, and the governess has already sat down. He started the topic in a chatty tone, and Miss Evelyn also replied naturally:

　　 "It's not bad, although the salary is a little bit less, but at least there is not a lot of things. The preparation time per week is only two or three hours."

　　 "So, what do you think of this profession? I mean the profession of teacher?"

　　 Jenkins wants to lead the topic.

"Not bad. The world around me has changed rapidly in recent decades. The little nobles in the past, such as Viscount Franklin, could also rely on a few very risky investments to grab wealth. The nobles are really good, listen. Said that they have a great deal of preferential treatment when paying taxes."

　　Miss Evelyn obviously doesn't understand what Jenkins wants to ask.

　　 "I mean, what do you think about teaching knowledge to an underage girl?"

　　 Jenkins changed his terms.

　　 "Minor? Nancy will be an adult this summer?"

　　 Miss Evelyn asked suspiciously, apparently Jenkins had applied what he knew of "adult" to this world without authorization.

"As for teaching her knowledge, it's actually nothing. Oh, to be honest, the girl is not very gifted in poetry. Fortunately, she and her family did not expect her to become a poet. Nancy herself just wanted to By learning something and showing up at banquets and young people’s social life, you might find a suitable husband."

　　 She still doesn't understand Jenkins's problem, but she said to herself:

　　 "I graduated from Nolan Higher Normal College and studied literature for so many years, but I can only rely on being a tutor for untalented aristocratic girls."

　　The young lady then complained, as if she was very boring chatting with her friends:

"Look, now anyone can write poems, and they can’t make money by writing poems. To go to school, I left a small country town and came to a big city like Nolan alone, with a lot of money on my back. Indebted. But what can it be? Literature can't make money, writing articles can't make money, and being a teacher can't make money, so you can only teach aristocratic girls."

　　 "Then what do you make money for?"

　　 Jenkins did not see that the other party had such a thing as "selfless dedication".

　　 "Buying a house, when I was a country girl, when I first entered the city in a truck pulling a straw, I dreamed of having my own house here."

　　 A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she answered Jenkins’s question naturally, even if the question involved privacy:

"I can always succeed. I am twenty-six years old this year. I have already paid off my debts. I have saved some money by working hard. If my life goes well, I will be able to buy it in my thirties. A small house in Nolan West."

　　 "What about getting married? After getting married, isn't it more convenient for two people to buy a house?"

　　 "If I didn't have my own property before I got married, and I was **** by a man in the family after I got married, then why did I come to Nolan to live alone when I was sixteen?"

　　 Miss Evelyn asked rhetorically, and then concluded:

　　 "So, as long as you have your own property and stay awake and don't be cheated of money by men, you can actually get married until you are thirty. I don't want to be like the women in my hometown. I want to live to understand."

　　 Jenkins said nothing, but he believed that his expression was enough to show an expression of "admiration":

　　 "Yes, you have a good idea. Independent ladies don't actually worry about getting married. It's good to be independent and you don't have to rely on others."

　　 was talking, scratching the little chocolate head on his shoulder. Chocolate tilted its head up and wanted to bite Jenkins because it suspected it was being hinted.

　　 was praised by Jenkins, and Miss Evelyn was also very happy that someone agreed with her. He picked up the tea cup happily, and took the initiative to bring the topic back to Jenkins' original intention:

"As for being a teacher, I actually really want my students to understand my ideas and be able to be independent. But for the noble lady, this is of course difficult. Therefore, it is enough to give her my knowledge, although she also Not much to learn..."

　　 took a sip of the hot tea carefully, then squinted her eyes as if she was enduring the heat from her tongue:

"I graduated from a normal school, and I thought about becoming a real teacher in the past... But this era is so crazy and so progressing. I get a dream and I must let go of another dream. After all, I am a woman. It’s not a man. It’s not that I’m worse than a man. It’s just that in this era, my gender determines that I can’t do more things like a man. I can only let it go.”

　　 Jenkins immediately came to the spirit, since she said that, she must have not completely let go. Considering the sentence, Jenkins tentatively said:

　　 "Then the process of teaching Miss Nancy, are you just for reward?"

"of course not."

　　 Miss Evelyn shook her head without thinking:

"If it is purely for remuneration, it is actually more appropriate to spend time on other tasks. Do you know how much time it takes to come from where I live? Although the dream of becoming a teacher is impossible to continue, I have never thought about it. , To be able to use another way to transfer one's knowledge, ideas and dreams..."

　　 She shook her head again:

　　 "Don't talk about it, it's meaningless."

　　 "But the thoughts you spend on Miss Nancy absolutely exceed the rewards you get."
