Mystery: Order and Disorder

After the early morning, the city is as prosperous as the city of hope. Even in the most secure Queens area, there are few pedestrians.

According to Grelint’s analysis, this aspect is due to the fact that there are too many insecurities in the extraordinary world. Even ordinary people who have not been exposed to extraordinary power have more or less heard that many people lost their lives due to accidents at night. s story.

On the other hand, because the world has not achieved large-scale electricity use, street lighting at night can only use gas, which is relatively backward.

Withdrawing his gaze towards the orifice window, Grelint sighed, still having difficulty falling asleep.

"Maybe this is Lord Ye Haolong!"

Grelint sighed in a low voice.

"If it's just in the book and in the text to experience the fantasy and beauty of the extraordinary world, I'm quite happy and yearning. But if it's the real world... um, I can only say that I hope that the gods will bless the death not too miserable."

When he was on Earth, his original name was Zhong Jianshu. He was a migrant worker who had just graduated. He usually didn't have many hobbies, mainly reading online articles and playing games.

Recently, he has just finished reading the book "Mystery" under the help of his college roommate Amway.

He naturally yearned for the extraordinary abilities in the book, but Zhong Jianshu could only say too much about the distorted and chaotic bottom-level world rules.

I don't know why, today, no, it should be yesterday's daytime, and the earth's clock book replaced the Queen's Grelint.

The reason for using the word "replace". This is because although he calls himself Grelint, he is very clear that he is only receiving and reading Grelint's memory as a bystander, without any memory fusion.

This also made it difficult for him to adapt to his current status.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Grelint completely inherited the knowledge of the original book that he remembered on Earth, without any problems.

"Although I basically don't remember the details of mysticism, I'm sure I know the 'starry sky'."

"This shows that I am involved in a high-ranking personality. Which 'He' wrote it? Or is it something involving a high-ranking magical item?"

Due to the lack of analytical conditions, Grelint could not come to a conclusion.

In addition, for his own state, he can only basically determine Klein who is different from the original book, because he has read the original book, which is impossible for those "bacon" in the original book.

As for the timeline of this mysterious world, Grelint judged that it was about half a year before the protagonist Klein Moretti "came into the world".

The basis is that next Thursday, that is, five days later, it will be the seventeenth birthday party of Audrey Hall, the youngest daughter of Earl Hall, the real aristocrat of Backlund, a member of the upper house of the kingdom, and the big banker, and now it is ten. Early February.

As a fan of Audrey in the original book, with the identity of her boyfriend as her best friend, Grelint was quite excited.

There seems to be no mention of Audrey's birthday in the original book, only the socially meaningful bar mitzvah is set at the end of next year.

Of course, next week's birthday party is only private.

The reason why Grelint received the invitation, one was because he had a good personal relationship with Audrey, and the other was the viscount who died young. Grelint's father, Lawrence Mariano, was once a firm believer in Earl Hall. political allies.

After Lawrence Mariano died of illness, the Intis "celebrity" Sharmila Ballanta, who was married to him, was Grelint's biological mother and remarried back to her home country - the Intis Republic is much more open than the Loen Kingdom. , and Shamila Bharata was originally the only daughter of the Lord.

Grelint can only say that he is very happy about this. After all, it is very difficult to treat an "acquaintance" who "doesn't know each other" as a real relative, and it is quite easy to reveal the truth.

Grelint was only sixteen when Lawrence Mariano died. Alone and helpless, he almost got the viscount title from Earl Hall, so he can be said to have great respect for this elder.

Regrettably, Earl Hall is an outsider after all, and it is inconvenient for him to over-discipline Grelint. As a result, the Viscount himself is almost incompetent and can only be said to be polite.

"Not bad, let's just say that he is also a nobleman. He is much richer than the protagonist of the original novel!" Grelint secretly complained.

As a viscount without real power, Grelint's wealth mainly came from two parts. One is that 100,000 pounds are handed over to Earl Hall's bank for operation, and the annual income is about 9,000 pounds. The second is the land, pastures and forests worth 120,000 pounds, and the annual rent income is 12,000 pounds.

However, he fully believed in Earl Hall's vision, so he sold all the estates in the past two years, with a total of 220,000 pounds half invested in the bank and half in the shipping industry. Annual income is around £21,000.

Facts have proved that Earl Hall is very wise and far-sighted. Now Grelint has 250,000 pounds of investment assets and a monthly income of 2,000 pounds.

In addition, he has five estates, two large and three small and medium. There's this big mansion in Queens, two properties in Bridgewood, two in Hillston, and a cottage on the West Side.

Of course, most of these wealth are difficult to embezzle in large quantities, and Grelint's real activity funds are slightly less than fifteen thousand pounds.

Although Grelint thinks that he is not extravagant, but it involves the "decency" of the nobles, so the consumption is actually a bit exaggerated.

Because he lives alone, he has relatively few servants.

There was a butler, a valet, a squire, two maids, a laundry maid, a coachman, a gardener, and a cook.

…

To be honest, even if Grelint was fully capable of paying them, he thought it was too extravagant and unnecessary.

Perhaps it was poverty that limited his imagination. He thought that even if he needed service, hiring two or three servants would be enough.

…

Thinking about these miscellaneous things, Grelint slowly entered the dream state after all.

————————

Early in the morning, Grelint was awakened by the valet Hash.

Today is Saturday, and he is going to visit Earl Hall to ask how to become an Extraordinary. This is the established agenda of arranging servants to send salutations yesterday.

"Mr. Mariano, do you want to dress more formally or casually?" Hash didn't know what Grelint's purpose was today.

In the past, Grelint used to visit Earl Hall or Audrey more casually. First, because he did not inherit the title, he only visited friends in the form of visiting elders. The second is basically nothing.

But today Grelint has other plans, so he decided to be a little more formal.

"Formal attire, a little more leisurely, Uncle Hall is not an outsider."

"Okay, Mr. Mariano."

Under the service of the footman, Grelint finished his breakfast quite uncomfortably.

"Right now, the focus is on being familiar with the environment, and this process will definitely be changed in the future." Grelint secretly made up his mind.

——————

In the last life, um, let's just count the whole life, Grelint also had his parents divorced when he was a child.

Such an experience makes him almost incapable of getting much security from interpersonal interactions, which is the main reason for his desire for extraordinary power.

In addition, after reading the original work, he still has a lot of places that are deeply infected, and he has a lot of regrets. Maybe God sent him, the person who knew the plot, to come here hoping to change something?
