"Good luck."

Lu Chen smiled, took the fish out of the pot, put it into the plate, and pulled down the folding table on the wall beside the bed.

"Hold the goddess in the morning! How can your luck catch fish!"

Lu Lin threw it in exclamation. She vowed that she had never seen her brother catch fish when she was a child. Even if she took the bait one by one in the fishing field, the other party always got nothing.

Lu Chen's face darkened for a moment, and he suddenly found that he was not without similarities with the original. It seemed that they were all unlucky.

"Don't care so much. Maybe the goddess of morning support is taking care of us. In order to celebrate my recovery, give us a good breakfast."

Lu Chen skillfully separated the fish with the second-hand kitchen knife that Lu Lin had picked up and removed the bone spurs in the middle.

In fact, he doesn't recognize this kind of fish, but he has observed that it is non-toxic, and there is another advantage. In addition to the central bone spur, the fish meat no longer contains small spines.

He picked up his unaccustomed fork, picked out a little fish and tasted it in his mouth. It is worthy of being a food with full score of epic quality. It is unusual to make it casually, "sister, please use it."

He pushed the plate forward.

At this moment, Lu Lin looked at everything outside the window and finally realized that she was not dreaming. Then she said with a sad face, "but I'm late."

"Since you are late, don't go today."

Lu Chen smiled and said that although brother Chu said that the money obtained through normal channels in the world can be used for certification, how many children can Lu Lin earn?

Although he will not rob banks, he believes that after understanding the world, he can always find a way to get funds quickly.

If you can't think of it, please consult brother Chu.

"How about that? If we are dismissed, we will have no source of income. After paying the rent this week, we will be kicked out by the stingy Perkins next week."

Lu Lin frowned and said that it was difficult to explain why she had been absent from work for three days. If she didn't go today, she would probably find that she had been fired tomorrow.

In this era of the Sistine Empire, there is no employee friendly labor contract, which is completely a paradise for capitalists.

"What's your salary?"

Lu Chen asked with interest. Because the original owner was in a crazy state, his clear memory was only before he was ten years old, and he was confused behind. He didn't know the details of his sister's salary.

"Five shillings a week..."

Lu Lin, as a civilian, handles clerical work, and her salary is not high.

Lu Chen slightly estimated that the salary was about 2000 a month. In the slums, it was definitely an "elite class"

But after taking out the rent of eight shillings a month, there is only twelve shillings left.

If Lu Lin is a person, this income can make her live a lot, but she has two mouths to eat at home, plus all kinds of daily necessities, and she saves money to help her brother see a doctor, so she is very short of money.

In the past, every week, Lu Lin took her brother to the acupuncture shop in Shangcheng district to ask the old doctors of the same race there to help with acupuncture, eager to improve her brother's "brain disease"

Each acupuncture and moxibustion cost one shilling. Although his brother failed to turn from a madman to a normal person, he slept peacefully that night after each acupuncture and moxibustion, which convinced Lu Lin that it was useful.

Even now she is thinking, is it the magic medicine of the old doctor that has made her brother recover?

"I will also look for a job. My sister doesn't have to worry about money. Have a meal and have a rest first."

Lu Chen said with relief, "it will be cold if you don't eat any more."

Lu Lin looked at the attractive, golden fish on the plate, swallowed and spit, or pushed it out, "you eat first, I'm not too hungry, wait until you finish."

Lu Chen was stunned and smiled, "half a person."

He separated the fish because it was not a small fish, which was completely enough for two normal adults to eat.

Lu Lin saw that looking at half of the fish in front of her, she had removed the bone spurs. The smell became more and more attractive. She couldn't help but pick up a small piece carefully with a fork and put it into her mouth to taste it carefully.

It's burnt outside and tender inside. The natural fish is almost polarized at the entrance, but there's still a trace of chewiness in the deep, accompanied by the fragrance of salt and pepper, plus the abundant oil smell

wait!

Lu Lin suddenly withdrew from the intoxicated state and looked at Lu Chen, "how much oil did you use?"

Lu Chen pointed to the empty oil bucket next to him, "there's not much left, so we can use it all."

Originally, there was only one foundation left. Lu Chen didn't think the fried fish was enough.

Lu Lin's face changed. "Brother, the fish is delicious, but please give it to your sister next time..."

"It's getting cold."

Lu Chen pointed to the fish in the plate and opened the window to breathe.

Lu Lin struggled in her heart, but finally felt that if she didn't eat now, it would be too bad. She immediately began to eliminate the Chinese food.

Although delicious and attractive, she still pays great attention to eating and swallowing slowly. Obviously, she had a good tutor when she was young.

Lu Chen can understand Lu Lin's mentality. Once upon a time, he also had a difficult time. He was reluctant to use daily necessities.

After finishing the meal, Lu Chen brushed the dishes and asked, "sister, I feel confused. After many years, I don't know much about today's world. You are a top student who graduated from seminary. Can you tell me about it?"

Lu Lin wanted to wash the dishes, but seeing that Lu Chen didn't mean to move the pit, she stroked her lower abdomen and leaned back to stretch her lower body.

If you're late, you'll be late. You won't go today.

Once you think about some things, you will feel inexplicably relieved.

Lu Lin is in a surprisingly good mood at the moment. She doesn't know whether it's because her brother's brain is getting better or because of the delicious breakfast. She looks at the world as if it's covered with a faint glow.

"Well... Let's start with our Sistine empire. After all, it's where we live. You need to have some common sense."

Lu Lin thought for a moment and began to tell.

She is happy to ask her brother about these things, which means that the other party has really returned to normal and has a heart to face life bravely.

"The Sistine empire was founded at the beginning of the third era, with a history of more than 1300 years. The Empire has a wide territory, about 24 million... Oh, brother, you haven't graduated from the primary school. Let me put it this way, there are about 2400, 10000 square miles."

Speaking of this, Lu Lin was a little worried. Afraid that her brother could not understand, she asked, "it's 2400, 10000."

Lu Chen felt that the other party was like a kindergarten teacher guiding the children, but said, "I count very well."

This is a lie!

But in this world, Lu Chen thinks he still has the level of advanced mathematics.

"One west mile, how far is it?"

Lu Chen inquired.

"Probably, it's about ten miles from us to kinkland Church in the city."

Lu Lin stood up and pointed out the window.

Lu Chen roughly estimated that one Xili is about 1.3 kilometers. If so, the area of the Sistine empire is as large as three Europe, equivalent to more than half of Asia.

The overall density of the world is high, so the territory of the empire is not as outrageous as he thought, but if you think about it carefully, it is really large enough.

Because the current civilization of the Sistine empire is about the same as that of medieval Europe on earth. It has not entered the industrial era. Transportation still depends on carriages and even No. 11 buses.

It is really thought-provoking that there is no problem for the Empire to control such a large territory.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't interrupt again, Lu Lin continued: "the Sistine Empire has a total of 87 provinces. Noah Province, where we are located, is located in the southwest. It is a less affluent province. Each province is managed by a high-ranking official designated by the king, and is awarded the position of governor. During his tenure, he will rotate every eight years. During his tenure, all major and small affairs should be handled and reported to the king every year."

"All cities, counties and towns in the province are dispatched and managed by the governor. These people are awarded the position of consul. They are usually of noble origin and rotate every eight years."

Hearing this, Lu Chen felt that the royal family of the Sistine Empire still had a management mind, but as the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They must have some special means to stabilize the monarchy.

"Does the Sistine Empire have an army?"

Lu Chen asked.

"Of course, it is said that there was a large-scale disarmament two hundred years ago. The royal family believes that it is enough to have an army to defend the royal capital. A large number of troops are a burden to the country. Moreover, because of the vast territory, the garrison in remote areas is prone to problems for a long time, but 150 years ago, the disarmament policy stopped and turned to large-scale conscription."

Lu Lin explained.

"Because of the country of steam and machinery?"

Lu Chen thought and noticed the time node.

Lu Lin nodded, "yes, the sudden rise of the country of steam and machinery sounded an alarm to the Sistine empire. Those heretics turned their back on the gift of the goddess of morning embrace and lied that there was no God in the world, setting off a frenzy. What's absurd is that they actually stood on their feet in the barbarian land of the East and confronted our empire."

Lu Lin said, waving her small fist angrily, as if she was indignant that those people abandoned the goddess of morning embrace and their faith.

Lu Chen is really hard to judge. If it is a world without extraordinary power, the country of steam and machinery in the East is obviously at the forefront of the times. There is no doubt that it is carrying out a vigorous industrial revolution and science and technology are developing continuously. However, the Sistine empire is still "closed" and is estimated to be severely beaten in less than 200 years.

This is the lesson of Lu Chen's past life. Their secret blood warrior is the relic of the previous era, which was crushed by the great power of the new era.

But the abandoned land is not an ordinary world. Lu Chen is sure that the Sistine Empire has mysterious power and is very powerful. Otherwise, it cannot stand for many years.

"How are the people of the country of steam and machinery doing now?"

Lu Chen continued to ask.

"It is said that the people are miserable, the air is dirty, the sky is gray, and the earth is full of factories spewing thick smoke. A large number of people there die of illness every day, even if they breathe a few mouthfuls of air, they will die. They must wear a special mask to go out."

Lu Lin said solemnly.

Lu Chen looked at the sister, "it's said?"

Lu Lin looked embarrassed for a moment. "The textbook says that the country is too far away from us. How can I go to see it, but I think there should be no difference."

Lu Chen was thoughtful and felt that most of the things in the textbook were untrue. At least Chu Zihang said that steam had preliminary contact with the country of machinery and felt very good.

"Does the goddess of morning embrace really exist?"

Lu Chen asked.

As a result, Lu Lin's face changed greatly. She quickly covered Lu Chen's mouth. Her face was frightened and stretched out her finger and said, "brother, you can't talk nonsense. Of course, the goddess exists, otherwise, how can there be us now?"

Then she withdrew her hand, crossed her fingers, closed her eyes and read the prayer Scripture, and asked the goddess of morning embrace to forgive her stupid brother.

Lu Chen looked at this scene and did not speak, but was deeply aware of the influence of the church on the people in the Sistine empire.

People like Lu Lin who live in such difficulties and hardships still hold the belief that suffering is a test given by the goddess and the improvement of her brother is a gift given by the goddess. One can imagine how thorough brainwashing is.

But maybe it's not just brainwashing. The church in this world should hold extraordinary power.

When choosing the identity interface, I saw a noun, "night watchman", and this organization appeared many times in the vague memory of the original owner. They should be the team responsible for dealing with extraordinary events of the church.

"Well, hold the goddess in the morning..."

Lu Chen made a perfunctory remark and pondered irreverently how much progress can the goddess of morning embrace add to the God eater and regicide if it really exists?

"Sister, where is the morning support Church in the Sistine Empire?"

He asked again.

Lu Lin calmed down and explained: "the morning embrace church is the only god religion in the Sistine empire. It is officially because of the protection of the goddess of morning embrace to the world that human beings can live to the third era. Of course, everyone respects the existence of faith. Even the coronation of the king must be recognized by the grace of the Pope."

After hearing this, Lu Chen understood the real internal situation of this country. The king may not be the supreme power holder. The Pope who holds the Vatican in the morning is mostly the supreme power holder.

The pope may not only be a power man, but also a powerful transcendent in response to the erosion of the world by the old gods.

In the details of Lanis, he learned some of the truth behind the world. If the old gods are still alive and infiltrating the world secretly, how does the steam and machinery country deal with it?

He wrote down the details and prepared to let Chu Zihang investigate.

"I see. Didn't you study in seminary before, sister? Why don't you become a nun after graduation?"

Lu Chen asked, but he knew in his memory that Lu Lin was studying theology.

Lu Lin shook her head. "It's not so simple. If you want to be a nun or monk, if you don't come from an aristocratic family, you have to graduate from a theological seminary such as Wang lipte. You have to pass the final exam, recommended by three official priests and signed by regional bishops before you can become a priest."
