The Night Adorer

It was eight or nine in the morning when Sulman got down from the coach and entered Gran street.

At the moment, the Gran street is very busy. Looking around, you can see the workers who are dressed in white work clothes and hurriedly carrying steel bars, as well as the workers who are pushing rickshaws and loading carts of minerals towards the processing plant.

The air above the street is filled with light smoke and dust. Their source is towering into the clouds. The chimneys puffing mist are filled with fog, which is the eternal tone of the steelmaking area.

"First... Sir, do you want to buy a morning paper?"

The familiar voice sounded from behind. Sulman turned and looked, but was surprised to find that the other party was the girl with a smart soft felt hat who sold him newspapers last time. This time, she seemed to be a little taller than when she met last time.

Correspondingly, the other party's bones are more profound, his face is hungry and yellow, and some eye-catching cyan muscles and collaterals can be seen under the yellow skin, giving people a thin feeling that the wind will fall.

With Sulman's turning back, she seemed to recognize each other. After all, the former's appearance was still impressive, especially for the opposite sex. Therefore, her original afraid voice became easier——

"This... Sir, would you like a copy of Gangdian morning post?"

Sulman nodded gently, but without waiting for the other party's reply, he took out a five silver note from his wallet.

Silver order, as the second order currency in the currency ladder of the eternal night world, has diversified forms, including coins with denominations of 1 silver order and 2 silver orders, as well as banknotes with denominations of 2.5 silver orders, 4 Silver orders and 5 silver orders.

Sulman obtained five silver shillings of the largest denomination and seized a large amount of cash from President Qi Sheng. For him, this little money doesn't need to be taken into account. If only considering his wealth, he is richer than the squires in Gangdian city.

After all, the annual income of the squires with small land is about 1500 gold pounds, but they still have a large number of workers' salary expenses, the cost of repair and maintenance workshops, the cost of employing maids at home and the maintenance cost of private carriages... Once consumed, their working capital may be only a few hundred gold pounds, which is not as rich as Sulman.

The little girl's eyes straightened when she saw the five silver shilling note handed by Sulman, but she hesitated for a few seconds and said frankly:

"I... I can't find such a large denomination."

Sulman tried to make a smile and didn't let the other party worry. He said softly, "I don't want to buy one."

With that, he pointed to the rolls of morning newspapers that the little girl held under her thin arms.

"My colleagues in the office prefer reading newspapers." Sulman added a reason.

The little girl no longer hesitated. She handed all the newspapers to Sulman. Then, she carefully collected the coins, bowed deeply to Sulman, turned and ran quickly, and disappeared at the end of the street.

This time, Sulman didn't worry about each other. After all, with the intelligence of the little girl, I believe she can protect her wealth.

"You are really compassionate."

Suddenly, there was a pleasant girl voice behind him. When Sulman turned around, he saw a familiar, slightly round and lovely face. As for the owner of this face, he was standing in front of the orphanage.

Although she was wearing work clothes, she was clean and tidy, which was very different from ordinary workers. In addition, her lovely face with a little baby fat, like the beautiful facial features of a doll, attracted some attention.

It's the investigator of the steam church, Anne.

"But compassion can't save everyone..." Anne walked up to him, her voice was a little low and looked low.

"I'm not compassionate, just what I want to do." Aware of her depression, Sulman asked, "what's the matter? You look like you're in trouble? "

Annie shook her head and looked confused: "I... I'm not in trouble, but the scene I saw after I came to Gangdian city seems to be different from my previous education..."

While talking, they walked into the orphanage together. Because Anne was an acquaintance, many orphans knew her. Suddenly, they looked at the young man next to Anne curiously. Others whispered and guided them like thieves.

Sulman listened to her words and understood something

This is to leave the ivory tower and see the outside world, resulting in a contradictory mentality? Sulman knew very well that in the mobile castle of the steam church, their life was like a gear, regular, orderly and rigorous.

In the mobile castle under the jurisdiction of the steam church, for example, the hometown mentioned by Anne, they belong to the 'iron core city'.

From the moment they were born, every resident will be tested for their qualifications. If they have a high fit of the "craftsman" profession, they will be absorbed into the steam church. On the contrary, if they have a low fit, they are better than ordinary people.

Such personnel are often labeled as "technicians". They will receive better education resources in the mobile castle. They may not be as good as the secretaries of the steam church, but they are also far better than ordinary people.

When they graduate from a "secondary technical school" run by the church, those with excellent results can also be promoted to a "steam University" and receive higher education free of charge. After graduation, they joined the important industry in the mobile castle, served as the management, and controlled the fate of a large number of workers. This is the social structure in the mobile castle, which is quite different from the civilized city-state outside.

Annie is a typical "seedling player". From her birth, she has become an important talent trained by the church with high compatibility. Even, her promotion is faster than others.

While Eddie in the same group was still under examination, Anne was already an official investigator and a craftsman in control of extraordinary power.

Not surprisingly, she even hopes to be promoted to the second level in a short time, and then go to the Holy Church of the steam church to accept the Holy Church test. If she can surpass others of her age and graduate successfully... At that time, she was the saint of the steam church.

However, after seeing the residents' ecology of Gangdian City, for the first time, she wavered in her education and even her world outlook.

This is a very common phenomenon.

This usually happens to steam investigators who leave the mobile castle for the first time and come to the outside world.

[after all, there are two different social forms...]

Sulman looked at her, but his heart moved.

Because in his impression, a great change has taken place in the history of steam Church in the third era.

It was oppressed by the "technicians" for a long time. The middle and lower believers who believed in steam and the interior of the steam church were bewitched by a secret organization. There were a group of saints who were dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted to overthrow the original system

It was an epic event that swept through the cold soil of the whole North, even triggered divine war, and finally led to the decline of the north.

[steam change].
