Chapter 596 9.18 Nicholson Manor (3)

Concubine Xue could get used to the simple life with no one to serve her.

During the days of living in the mountains, the Legalist mentor implemented military management of the reserve assassins. I was lucky to have a roof over my head and enough food.

It can be said that she has never lived a day in the life of a noble lady.

But now, her identity as "Li Xueyi" requires her to adapt to a different way of life.

Legalist lurkers have a strict background identity when performing tasks. The character of "Li Xueyi" is fictitious, but the Legalist mentor has already completely compiled her birth date, relatives and friends.

Once Concubine Xue gained a foothold, other hidden stakes hidden within Constantinople would reveal other information about her, further explaining her origins to the Romans.

Gu Huaian has even arranged several future conflicts between him and Concubine Xue to reinforce their seemingly "hostile" identities.

For lurkers, it is much safer to have colleagues as enemies than as friends.

Right Prime Minister Li Chunfeng spent so much effort on both identity and finding a resettlement place. This was not simply to serve Concubine Xue's team.

In the future, all "Legalist assassins" within the Legalist school who crossed west to Constantinople would enter her caravan in the name of subordinates. There will be more and more enemies on the surface of Gu Huaian.

The Illuminati will be very happy to see all kinds of fights between them, both overt and covert.

As everyone knows, this is all a cover-up to deceive others.

In fact, they all come from the Legalist school.

Early the next morning, a recruitment notice was posted by Tang Qianye to Honeysuckle Street and Steel Gate, the "poor areas" in Constantinople.

Honeysuckle Street is the famous Hualiu Lane in the city, where the lower-class residents of the city go to have fun.

Steel Gate is a gathering place for street vendors.

Craft apprentices, temporary workers engaged in manual labor and gang members often mix here.

Tang Qianye seemed to underestimate the speed of news transmission in this land. The notice was posted for three days, and the price given was extremely fair.

However, the vast majority of civilians turned away when they saw the words "Corner Ridge" and "Nicholson Manor".

As prosperous as the Byzantine Empire, the vast majority of the people within its territory also lived ordinary lives. Farmers who own land mostly have nothing to do after sowing in the spring. If they want to earn an extra thirty or twenty silver coins, going to the city to work is a very good choice.

If you happen to be appreciated by a noble lord and promoted to a guard or housekeeper, you can get rid of the fate of farming forever and become a decent "city dweller".

Constantinople is a veritable "gold rush place".

There are all kinds of new things happening in this city every day. No one who lives here knows who they will meet the next day or whether there will be greater opportunities next month.

Almost every citizen can tell a few legends about ordinary people who had unexpected adventures and reached the sky in one step.

No matter how you consider it, working in the city is more enjoyable than working hard in the fields every day.

Tang Qianye frowned slightly.

It was only then that he keenly realized that even though he was as smart as Right Chancellor Li Chunfeng, he had also overlooked a crucial issue——

——The attitudes of Eastern and Western citizens towards ghosts and ghosts.

Since the pre-Qin period, the emergence of Qi Refiners has caused all the gods and monsters entrenched in the Eastern Continent to be mercilessly killed.

Alchemists of the Qin Dynasty even compiled a book called "Records of Demon Refining".

It specifically introduces how to effectively use the remains of foreign gods to refine elixirs or forge weapons.

From then on, in the eyes of the mortals of the Eastern Continent, foreign gods were no longer scary gods, but treasures that could make them rich. Encountering an alien god has never been a disaster for the residents of the Eastern Continent. On the contrary, it may become a blessing from the sky.

As long as the report is reported to the state capital and the Qi Refiners are dispatched to kill the foreign gods, the informant can also receive a pricey bounty.

When Qin Shihuang unified the world, Ying Zheng was surprised to find that all the gods in the Eastern Continent had been quietly extinct. If they want to continue to obtain the remains of ancient gods to refine elixirs, they must go abroad.

One can imagine how the gods, inspired by this kind of behavior, look in the eyes of the residents of East Road.

If something strange happens at home that ordinary people cannot understand, the helpless housewife may feel afraid.

But while they were afraid, everyone's response was to invite alchemists to open altars and practice magic to subdue the demons.

The inherent "family and country concept" of the Eastern Continent prevents them from deviating from their hometown at all.

Encountered floods, dug mountains and dug canals.

Kingdom invaded, enlisted in the army.

When you find a monster, just kill it.

It is absolutely impossible to stay away from your homeland.

However, the Western Continent is a different scene.

Regardless of Rome, Vikings, or France, the way for the strong mortals in the Arab Empire to obtain power was to communicate with the gods, please the gods, or complete the tasks assigned by the gods.

Based on this ubiquitous "God's Chosen System", the attitude of the vast majority of mortals in the Western Continent towards the gods is one of fear and a hint of dependence.

Faced with alien gods and ancient monsters, unarmed mortals would rather go far away than fight against the gods.

The vast majority of people live on merchant ships.

When they have nothing to do, they will go to sea to find another home. Naturally, they will not stay at home when encountering ancient monsters.

In Constantinople, where Xiran is flourishing, there are too many opportunities for young laborers with all the necessary skills to work. Most of the young people who grew up here love the life of sailors who ride the wind and waves.

Who would bother to work in a haunted mansion?

After three days of hard work without any results, Tang Qianye felt a faint worry.

For a lurker, integrating into the surrounding environment is the top priority.

They live in a gloomy haunted house that has been uninhabited for more than 70 years, which has become a topic of conversation among the neighbors. Now the first task is to make this manor look as "ordinary" as possible.

A group of nobles, no servants

This is absolutely not allowed.

No matter how poor Li Xueyi is, she is a member of the Tang Dynasty Li family after all.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this identity as "golden branches and jade leaves" when she comes to the Western Continent.

Waiting for death has never been Tang Qianye's style.

After three days, he began to contact acquaintances in the city.

This acquaintance was not the "Friend of the Pharaoh" Mohammed Hash who was once very popular in the commercial street. Few people in this city knew about their adventure in the black desert together.

Finding him for no reason was too ostentatious and too risky.

The first person Tang Qianye thought of was the leader of the porters in the Hash horse gang.

The leader of the "Badger Party", an underground force in Constantinople.

"Tugou" Ma Feng.
