Creator's Steam Fairy

The god of justice defines meters with his own height... just one meter.

One hundredth of the God of Justice's height is one centimeter, and one thousand times his height is 1000 meters.

His body-sized god is a necessary measuring tool in every holy place.

Just when Luria was about to establish some kind of mysterious connection between the statue of the God of Justice and the inner truth of the world, the slight cough continued to intensify, and she frowned in a drowsy state...Does it count as disturbing her sleep? sin?Do you want to punish the goddess?

"This lady really trusts us..."

Seeing the sparkle at the corners of a certain girl's mouth, Mr. Forrester couldn't control his facial muscles and twitched.Although he was just doing some informal intelligence transactions, it would be too unprepared to be able to sleep to death in a completely unfamiliar place in such a short time, right?

He was just about to cough a few more times, but suddenly shivered, and then saw those big dull lake blue eyes staring at him.It looks like it's not awake, and it's like the eyes of a delicate doll, and there is no human emotion in it.

After a while, Delgado Jr. came over with a tray and interrupted the meaningless staring contest.

"A scholar from the Kingdom of Pasta once told me that taking a nap anytime and anywhere is good for physical and mental health."

He pushed the amber glass with ice to Forrest, and handed Luria a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and said with a smile on his face, "I heard you want to exchange some gold? I You can give a [-]% discount on the official price of the Enlightenment Ring...whether it is an ornament or a gold coin, if it is an ornament, I am afraid that the price depends on the specific craftsmanship."

Luo Liya blinked her big eyes that had been recalled by the orange juice, she couldn't understand what this man was saying at all.

She didn't know that she had borrowed Mr. Forrester's light and received the best treatment... Putting down the cup, she casually took out a gold bar small enough to be held by her from the bear bag and put it on the table.

The small reception room was suddenly quiet, only the sound of ice cubes hitting the glass... With the astonishing density of gold, such a small amount would be enough to weigh a kilogram.

Loria fumbled for a while, and pulled out a golden plate.

The atmosphere was momentarily tense.

She continued to grope, and this time with a little effort, she pulled out a golden thing the size of a brick from the bear's mouth.

A dead silence.

"Stop! I'm going to test the purity!"

Little Delgado jumped up screaming when he saw Loria's little hand trying to pick out the damn bear's mouth again.

God doesn't need gold, neither does the Holy Land.But mortals have always loved to dedicate gold to God as a symbol of faith and piety over the long years... The temple has collected a small part of the exquisitely crafted sacrificial utensils and is still dusting in the warehouse, probably all because of that damned silver-haired girl Thief...and the Goddess hated the color of gold, and threw away most of the rest... Fortunately, Eve piled up some various gold products for her on the second floor of the hut full of space magic.

"Are these enough?" Luria didn't have any relevant concepts, "I still have some."

Little Delgado, who carried back a box-sized device, almost cried out.

This is what you said to deal with the children and exchange two gold coins or small jewelry at will, so give them more discounts?He stared at Forrest with fiery eyes, and made silent accusations with his small dingy eyes.He is just an intermediary, not a black market bank!

( ) actually by my side?

Forrest even had a frightened expression on his face, so if he randomly picked up a girl in the wilderness, he would be many, many times richer than himself?

Just now he naively thought that if the girl couldn't exchange for the minimum guarantee of survival, he would pay a pound or two out of his own pocket!

You are so rich and still eat my cocoa?

Women are big liars!

They didn't even think about why so many things could be pulled out of a plush toy the size of a palm.

……

Fortunately, the purity is not as high as expected, or should I say unexpectedly low.Delgado Jr., who claimed to be the most honest black market intermediary in the entire Zambia, made several trips to collect a large sum of cash.

Trembling and uttering strange terms that Loria could not understand, he stacked up a dozen fifty-pound, several ten-pound, and five-pound notes, and counted out a handful of one-pound and one-shilling notes. Banknotes, pushing them towards Loria along with a big money bag.

"Three thousand pounds in notes, and in the purse are the shillings and pence I changed for you, and some domestic silver."

Little Delgado didn't feel ashamed to mention the handling fee. After all, it was just a few more trips to change change. Since he was destined to lose tens of pounds, he might as well make a good impression on potential big customers in the future.

"I would like to ask you to help me with something, such as finding a personal servant."

Luo Liya didn't count the money at all, and randomly stuffed the banknotes and money bag in front of her into the bear bag.

"Miss Romero, do you have any specific requirements?" Little Delgado came to his senses, introducing work was one of his duties, "For example, age, gender, and skills that need to be mastered."

"Age doesn't matter, female." Thinking about her own needs, Loria unconsciously snapped her fingers and said slowly: "Familiar with the local environment, literate, preferably some historical knowledge... You must understand the steam device."

Literate maids are easy to find, but those who understand steam installations are not uncommon.Delgado pondered for a moment and said: "The weekly salary of the educated local maid is between [-] and [-] shillings, but mechanical knowledge is a very practical skill, and the salary requested by the other party may be greatly increased. For example, one pound, I I will provide you with as many candidates as possible after a week. If you do not require literacy, you can hire a maid with a weekly salary of five shillings... As for my commission fee"

He observed Luria's expression, and planned to offer a fair and reasonable price on the fly.

Like two pounds.

"Twenty pounds?" Loria thought for a while how much money she could get if she exchanged all the gold that Eve left for her, and finally came to the conclusion that she couldn't spend it temporarily... The output of magic power is within a certain limit Proportional to the magic effect, it must be the same reason to spend money, "I also want to rent a house, it doesn't need to be too big, just have a courtyard and three to five rooms... Thirty pounds?"

"Tomorrow!" Little Delgado jumped up, "Tonight! Tonight you can interview the maid in your new home with heating!"

"I also want you to help me find a person... silver hair, about [-] meters tall." Loria recalled the appearance of that woman, "she looks beautiful, has a ethereal voice, she calls herself Alice... if If you can provide her with clues, I will pay you what you are absolutely satisfied with."

"I will definitely make this commission a top priority."

"One more thing..." Luria patted the armrest on her side, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Is this chair for sale?"

"..."

Chapter 8 Abigail

Abigail Leroy picked up the teacup and immediately put it down, regretting for a moment that she had come to apply for the job.

In the afternoon, when someone said that someone was in a hurry to find a personal maid, she didn't pay much attention to it—a personal maid is a very delicate position. Although they are servants, according to common sense, they are always trusted by their employers .

How can a normal employer recruit a personal maid so suddenly and urgently?

Not to mention that weird condition...have to know about steam gear?Is this looking for a maid or a workshop apprentice?Could this be a scam by a black heart workshop?

What?Weekly salary starting from one steam pound?Specific salary negotiable?

Oh, it really is a scam, Abigail is proud of her foresight, the personal maid gets a salary of more than fifty pounds a year?Stop dreaming.

A senior employee sitting in the office may be able to get a higher salary... But the personal maid hardly has any necessary expenses, and it is a customary rule for the employer to provide food and lodging.

Many people think so too.

Maybe good things will happen in the world, but they already know that luck will not happen to them.

Abigail didn't take this matter to heart, and only heard something vaguely - I heard that the employer was a lady from Gallia.

Then she sat here, in an exquisite and lifeless small hall, all the furniture and furnishings were brand new, it looked like they were hurriedly bought and put together, the price was expensive, but they were not arranged in any way. There is no sense of beauty.

She somewhat believed that this recruitment and remuneration were real. After all, no one would spend huge sums of money to tease a woman who needed to go out to work. Expensive steam equipment required careful maintenance, and people were parts that could be easily replaced.

So, she started to get nervous, she worried that she would not be able to seize this opportunity.

The first applicant looks like a professional maid, in her 30s, the perfect age for experience and physical strength; while the second applicant, who also looks in her early 30s and wears glasses, walks into the small hall, her chin He nodded towards Abigail unobtrusively.

Abigail flinched. The woman reminded her of her overly cold and strict teacher.

She put down the teacup, got up and left the sofa that was too soft to maintain a good sitting posture, and walked to the reception room with a dazed head, knocked on the door with some pale knuckles, and a male voice came from inside.

She opened the door, and the first thing she saw was a fat face with a sincere smile. Is this the housekeeper?Before she could think about it, all her attention was taken away by the girl by the window.

This is obviously the lady employer who is said to be from Gallia. She watched the girl nod slightly to herself, and Abigail, who was in a daze, completely forgot to respond, and the girl was not offended by her slightly impolite behavior. Showing a strange expression——looking at her seriously for a while, the girl lowered her head and fiddled with the pocket watch in her hand.

"Sit down, Miss Leroy."

The plump man who seemed to be a housekeeper smiled and asked her to sit on the sofa opposite him, with an overly sincere smile as if he was her long-lost old friend.

Abigail, who was about to collapse due to her mistake, finally calmed down a bit. She squeezed out a thank you from her throat, and hurried to her seat as if she was saved.

Then he lay down almost uncontrollably... What happened to the furniture here?Why is it so soft?

She lowered her head, not daring to face the inevitable strange gaze, she was almost out of breath in frustration, her interview ended before it even started, and in just half a minute, she felt that she had fully demonstrated her rudeness and stupidity image of.

"Miss Leroy, could you please introduce yourself a little bit?"

"I... I... Abigail Leroy is me...so I am Abigail."

Abigail, whose head was in a mess, raised her head upon hearing this. Shouldn't she be invited out at this time?Now that she was doomed to lose the election... She froze for a while before opening her mouth intermittently.

She seemed to see the employer's lady covering her mouth and turning around, but the man in charge of the interview in front of her always had a gentle smile on her face, as if encouraging her from the bottom of her heart.

What a gentle man.

"I am... a Galia born in the countryside of Zambia. I am 19 years old and I like blue..." Her mood stabilized a little, but she still didn't dare to look up, she just stared at herself holding her skirt tightly "The person I admire most is the hero Jeanne..."

She blushed, she came to apply for the job, but what was she doing?This is not a children's classroom in an enlightenment school. ,

"I was good at housework, completed my formal secondary education and worked as a maid during the holidays. I could read and write the Common Language and graduated with first-class results in History and Physics."

She finished telling her resume as quickly as possible, and the hand holding the hem of the skirt turned white from excessive force.

Little Delgado nodded. The lady who applied for the job could barely meet the requirements...but the first applicant was a genuine steam workshop mechanic, and the second... As a senior housekeeper, she Worked for many years as a mechanic with his own workshop.

It's okay to be too nervous, and he also believes that Miss Leroy can do a good job as a maid, but considering the salary that is much higher than the market, her qualifications are still a bit behind... compared with the other two.

He looked at Loria calmly.

"Why did you apply for this job?"

Loria finally took her eyes off the pocket watch in her hand, she liked this exquisite mortal prop very much.With a timing device accurate to 'seconds', she no longer had to worry about which piece of sand was bigger on both sides of the hourglass. She clapped her hands lightly and asked the question for the first time tonight.

"Or, what do you want?"

"I..." Abigail looked forward to this extremely embarrassing interview as soon as possible, so she simply said, "I'm short of money, and I want to save money to visit Lutsi, the capital of Gallia."

Look at the motherland that only exists in the mouth of the father.

"Honesty is a virtue praised by God. Please discuss the specific details with Mr. Delgado."

Although the Goddess's canon doesn't mention honesty at all.

Luo Liya slowly got up and left the armchair by the window. She had eaten too much today, and she would inevitably feel sleepy when she was full. At this moment, she just wanted to lie on the soft and magical big bed and sleep well as soon as possible.

"Good night, please come at 45:[-] tomorrow morning."

Miss Luria, who just learned how to use a pocket watch, even wants to be accurate to the second... This feeling of mastering the time is really wonderful.

She smiled at Delgado Jr., who opened her mouth slightly to say something but finally closed her mouth, and Abigail, who had a dull expression on her face, and restrained her instinct to use the cumbersome church good night etiquette, and left like this The reception room.

Delgado Jr. will take care of everything, including a generous gift for the two eliminated ladies.

Chapter 9 The Creation Myth and the Stupid Maid

"The God who was first born was named Destiny. He closed his eyes tightly, unable to see or speak, but saw the end of all things at the moment of birth. The second God was named Life. His eyes bloomed with incomparable Brilliance, he gives life to all things and maintains the balance of the world. After death, he embraces the painful soul into his arms and introduces the kingdom of eternal silence... The nine born gods are named love, and hot blood flows from his chest Blood loves the world more than self. Seeing that the world has become complete, the Creator left forever.”

The characters currently in use in the mainland are not far from her era, and the change in pronunciation can be clearly traced. After half a month of study, today's Loria can even recite the words of creation in the holy scriptures with modern pronunciation. chapter.

The accents of different countries are different, but there is no obstacle to communication. As for the vocabulary that belongs to a culture, it can only be accumulated slowly over time.

"Miss... why did the Creator leave?"

Abigail managed to squeeze out a question. She didn't understand why the generous lady employer kept reciting long stretches of inexplicable myths in pronunciation exercises, but if she didn't ask some questions, she would probably do it again. .

Although it's interesting to see the delicate and lovely doll-like Miss Employer suddenly become so holy that she shines, but she always feels ashamed in her heart, as if she is a great sinner who can only cry and kneel in Luoyang. Only by confessing to her at Liya's feet can she get some redemption.

Although this feeling is not too strong, it is really terrifying.

Abigail has no interest in mythology or theology. In the era of advanced technology, she doesn't want to appear different from ordinary people.

The lady employer who is always muttering about God is different from ordinary people, but there are probably good aspects-for example, she looks more innocent and cute, with a bit of dusty temperament, and adds a sense of mystery.

As for myself?Abigail thought for a while if she imitated Miss Luria's words and deeds... she would probably be regarded as a fool with a bad brain.

Good-looking people will increase their attractiveness even if they do strange things.

Ow!What an unfair world!

"What a good question, Abby." Loria nodded slightly to affirm the maid's response, "I asked this question before, and the answer I got was 'What a good question, Loria, I asked it too. over this question'."

Loria laughed happily. This question and the answer to this question have been passed down from generation to generation in the Holy Land. She was very curious as to who was the first to ask this question, and whether he ever got the real answer .

Abigail didn't think it was funny, she was still immersed in her indictment of fate.

After being woken up by the noise last night, she dutifully went to the employer's room to check, and then saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.

The door of the master bedroom was open, and the pink-haired girl in her pajamas was standing barefoot on the floor, muttering, "Life is so boring"... while playing dominoes with gold bars.

Ow!What an unfair fate!

"Miss, do we really not hire housekeepers and guards?"

The conscientious Abigail is worried about the naive and kind-hearted Miss Employer, worried that she doesn't understand the temptation of money, worried about her safety, and worried about her being hurt.

After getting along day and night for half a month, she has already fallen in love with this mysterious and generous employer lady.

Why am I just an ordinary intellectual woman in the new era?Although he is very smart, being smart can't protect the little soft lady employer.
