Unlike Klein's return to Backlund, Snow did not intend to create a nouveau riche persona, nor did he need to try his best to squeeze into the upper class circles here, because he already had the wealth before he came to Intis.
sufficient social resources.
Because Mr. A has been working here for several months.
Although Mr. A. Backlund's missionary work does not seem to be successful, but it depends on who you compare it with. Compared with Snow, who has a summary of experience that is more than a hundred years ahead of this era, of course it is embarrassing no matter how you look at it.
, but under the appearance of a fat and meaty piece of meat that looks like a crotch, it is just suitable for the lower class people with little education.
After arriving in Trier, Mr. A has easily entered the social circle of Trier by virtue of his appearance. Coupled with a series of missionary skills of Whisperer and Bishop Rose, he has easily gained a group of noble ladies.
As a lamb, due to the Sun Cult, he did not touch those sensitive senior executives, but he has developed considerable influence among the middle class such as corporate executives and small and medium-sized traders.
Coupled with the secretly established labor movement, Mr. A can be said to have great energy in the middle and lower levels of Trier.
As for the upper echelons of Trier, Snow is not without any information. After all, the two witches Triss and Adelina are very popular here.
In the past six months, the two of them have built up enough fame. If someone holds a dance and cannot invite these two, it would be as embarrassing as inviting guests to dinner without bringing money. Even the upper class who deliberately postponed the dance in order to wait for the schedule
There are also many people.
Don't think it's incredible, because it's not that Triss and Adelina themselves have any value, it's just that they appear in the right place with the right identity. They are just tools for the upper class in Trier to compare with each other.
A cat or a dog can also achieve this position, the only difference is whether those people want to do it or not.
Just like the fox hounds popular among Loen nobles, as long as the major nobles still regard hunting as a competition arena, the price of fox hounds will remain high. A dog whose actual value may not be more than a few pounds can be purchased in
The scramble to obtain a middle-class family's entire income for several years.
For the upper class of Intis, they are accustomed to calling their decadent private life romance and regarding conquering the opposite sex as meritorious deeds. The appearance of Triss and Adelina just set up a target. At this time, because of
The upper class in Tees may have secretly formed a "strategy racing competition" to see who can capture the two of them first.
But even such a tool has its use, at least until someone wins, and no one will destroy the value of the tool - until they get tired of it.
There was Mr. A on the middle and lower floors, Adelina and Tris on the upper floors, and Huang Beibei on the top floor. Snow almost effortlessly gained the network of contacts that Ke Miao had to spend a lot of money and time to build.
.
After getting in touch with someone who worked on the Trier Housing Committee, Snow rented a single-family house at the junction of the business district and Versailles for 500 gold fils (approximately 475 gold pounds) per year.
Although the price of the villa is a bit high, it is one of the residential areas closest to the Cathedral of the Holy Light.
After simply decorating the new home, Snow had a simple dinner, turned to look at Ilian and said:
"Shall we visit the neighbors?"
"I advise you not to do this." Ilian explained with a helpless expression, "In Intis, it is not popular to greet your neighbors after moving. In other words, doing so is tantamount to announcing that you have thoughts about the other person's wife and daughter.
Not to mention that it's still night, and if you go, it's equivalent to telling the host, 'I want to spend the night at your house'... If you want to get to know each other, you can go out for a walk after afternoon tea and get to know each other through chance encounters. Of course, it doesn't mean that
I have no idea about your family when we meet by chance. This is just an Intis-like reservation..."
"You Intis people are so reserved!" Snow grinned and immediately gave up all his unnecessary thoughts. He picked up Lily and stroked her for a few times before saying helplessly:
"Then let's go out for a walk. Do you plan to go out like this now or change into a female form?"
"That's it, if you don't want to walk a few steps without someone coming up to talk to you."
…
Although Elian said it was an exaggeration, Snow actually found that things were not as scary as she said when walking in Trier. There were not many beautiful women on the streets, but it was rare to see people striking up conversations on the street.
In fact, in Trier in the evening, the pace of life still seems very fast. Pedestrians on the road are always in a hurry, as if something is chasing them. Even the stopping time of public carriages seems a bit short, and there are often queues.
As soon as the passengers entered the car, the driver couldn't wait to wave his whip.
Trier's business district is undoubtedly bustling. Although there is no electricity for some reasons, the gas street lamps still illuminate the city exceptionally brightly at night.
The streets in the business district are very wide. I don’t know whether it was Russell’s planning or historical necessity. It already has a very modern urban feel, but under the bustling surface, many shadows can also be seen.
For example, you can see one or two beggars every 100 meters, homeless people rummaging for food in garbage dumps, scantily clad street girls, and gangsters and dandies walking around in street clothes that don't recognize their parents.
"To a certain extent, Trier is even more chaotic than Backlund... At least in Backlund's Hillston District, West End, Queens and other places, you can't see beggars and hooligans."
Hearing Snow's words, Ilian sighed meaningfully:
"That's because the nobles in Backlund want face, while the capitalists in Intis only want profit. Whether it's rectifying vagrants and gangsters, or providing social welfare to beggars, money is needed. The people of Loen are willing to spend money for dignity.
And Intis people are more willing to spend money on real enjoyment. By the way, if you are kind-hearted and want to give alms to beggars, you should not give more than one livre at most. I am talking about everything added up, otherwise you will be confused every day when you go out.
Saw a group of beggars.”
"This is really textbook-like capitalism..." Snow shook his head. Before, he only understood this country through the interpretation of Intis in Loen's major newspapers, but now it seems that Loen's newspapers not only did not smear
Intis even beautified it!
Looking at the girls on the street who were probably white-collar workers, teachers, or doctors during the day, Snow lost interest in continuing shopping for a while and said to Ilian:
"Let's go directly to the Cathedral of the Holy Light."
"When the sun sets, go to the church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. You can imagine it!" Ilian grinned, but he also knew that this Lord was definitely not going to pray. He immediately nodded lightly and led him towards the Holy Spirit.
