Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 391

[Chapter 390 Ten thousand pounds (6200 plus)]

St. Margaret.

First class room.

Aaron looked at the rather small bedroom, bathroom, cloakroom, and guest rooms prepared for servants, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “Ordinary first-class cabins are so luxurious, what kind of scenery should the suites look like? A palace?”

He asked. Put the decorative drawing board and suitcase into the cloakroom, lie down on the sofa, feel your body being softly lifted, you can’t help but sink in, and let out a sigh of contentment.

“This trip is just like a vacation… Speaking of which, although I was once a count, not to mention the material supply at that time. In my previous life, I was just a low-class member of society… I really can’t imagine the happiness of rich people. .”

“Let’s talk about the rest when we get to South Indonesia…”

Based on the conversation with Motura before, the other party also gave some information.

For example – the ‘Keeper of Secrets’ seems to be focusing on the colonial direction, and the ‘Historical Research Association’ has also developed a force in the world and is active in South Indonesia.

“Besides, the colonial resistance and the Voodoo Cult are also worth noting…”

“Forget it, let’s forget about these things and go to the bar to have fun!”

The largest bar in the Saint Margaret is only open to first-class people. Open to first and second class passengers.

In addition to the servants of first-class guests, the people living in second-class cabins are mainly middle-class people such as doctors, lawyers, and teachers.

As for third class passengers? There are actually many places on this luxury cruise ship that are inaccessible.

…

The long traveling life is always boring.

Therefore, bars, swimming pools, libraries and other places have become good places for many people to spend time.

Passenger ship bar, next to a small round table.

Aaron occupied a position with a glass of gin and tonic in front of him, holding an entertainment tool similar to playing cards in his hand.

During this time, he blended smoothly into the social circle of the St. Margaret’s and formed his own small circle.

“Queen!”

He played the queen card and looked at the man in his thirties who was wearing a brown formal suit and a beautiful mustache across from him: “Kane, you said you got news about that lady?”

“Of course. … How can such a beautiful lady live in an expensive first-class suite not to make people curious? “

Kane is a senior lawyer who goes to the colony to handle business for a client, which is not what he usually does. He has a meticulous nature, but also loves to joke.

Inves uses laws based on maritime law. An eloquent lawyer will bring considerable benefits to the client, so the lawyers who can go to court here are all eloquent.

“So…barrister, tell us quickly.”

The eyes of Dr. Paul on the left are shining. He is a surgeon. He originally opened a small clinic, but he created a big accident – in When performing an amputation operation on a patient, he moved too fast. Not only did the patient bleed to death, but he also accidentally injured the surgical assistant next to him. By the way, he frightened a rich man who bought a ticket to visit.

Although he spent all his wealth, please He finally avoided jail because of a relationship with a barrister, but his medical license was inevitably revoked.

At this time, he was impoverished and prepared to try his luck in the New World. It was said that the ‘witch doctors’ there did not need a medical license.

Of course, these are the secrets that Aaron obtained through special means. Paul claimed to the outside world that he was embarrassed because of the scandal with his nurse, so he went to the New World to hide.

Aaron’s evaluation of him was that as a fair-weather friend, apart from being a bit lustful and having poor medical skills, he was pretty good in other aspects.

“Paul, I advise you not to think about it, there is no hope…”

Kane shook his head and said with a smile: “Miss Helen Candy, she took her mother’s surname.”

“Mother’s surname?”

Bot, the tall, thin, pale young man at the end of the card table, was confused. He said: “Could it be that she is a dishonorable illegitimate daughter? But her style and the scale of her travels are very different…”

“It is true that she is an illegitimate daughter, but she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl, and she is also very popular. “Love.” Kane gave the answer: “This time she brought so many servants and nanny to get married in the colony.”

“Oh, my goddess…” Paul exaggeratedly said, covering his heart. I’m so sad…disgusting political marriage!”

“The performance is a bit exaggerated,” Aaron commented lightly as he took a sip of his wine.

“Although it is a political marriage, Miss Candy’s fiancé was carefully selected by the earl. He is a young officer in the colony. It is said that he is handsome and has great military achievements. He is a young man with a bright future.” Kane sighed.

“How did you find out about this kind of news?” Bot asked curiously.

“Miss Candy has so many followers that we can’t even fit in the suite. Some of the servants live in the second class cabin, which happens to be next door to me.”

Kane smiled and explained the reason: “But Miss Candy’s own reputation is not good .

How good is it? It is said that she is very arrogant and rude, and does not have the demeanor of a real upper-class lady… The most important thing is…”

Kane lowered his voice: “It is said that the earl gave me a dowry of 10,000 pounds!”

“10,000 pounds !

?”

Paul exclaimed, unable to hide his jealousy: “It would be great if I were that fiancé.”

“Then I’m afraid you have to lose weight first and look twenty years younger.” Aaron played the last card: “I win this one.”

“Too cunning.”

“You are taking the opportunity to attract our attention.”

Bot yelled a few words, and finally took out a few silver shillings.

Aaron noticed that although he did not show his envy and jealousy like Paul, the eagerness in his eyes could not be hidden.

However, people in this era are not ashamed of pursuing wealth and power.

‘I just hope he doesn’t want to be a love interest and seduce the illegitimate daughter to elope…’

Aaron lit a cigar for himself. It is said that these top-grade golden cigars are from beautiful female slaves in the tobacco plantations in South Indonesia. , rolled out on the thigh.

But in his opinion, it’s just a gimmick by advertisers.

While puffing away the smoke, Aaron was also thinking calmly in his mind:

‘My hunch is right, I’m afraid this ship is going to sink…’

‘However, it’s hard to say the cause of the sinking, although the Helen Candy The lady’s name is somewhat similar to the real name of a shipwreck survivor… But I feel that the biggest unsafe factor is myself. ‘

‘If I study the ‘Da Mo Spell’ here and attract a large number of giant sea monsters, this ship will definitely be doomed…’

At this time, Kane’s voice came to his ears: “The annoying guy is here, huh?” He is pestering the ten-thousand-pound lady!”
