Marvel's Magic Master

Two days later, George and the Bartons, who were full of hope and a bright future for the capital city, boarded a steam train to Backlund.

No wonder the Bartons feel the future is bright.

Just yesterday, Backlund City Hall sent a letter informing Jack of his new position after his transfer to Backlund, as well as the corresponding work content and remuneration.

Normally, Jack's transfer would be a lateral one, with the same position as before, but because it was in the capital city, the salary and benefits would be better.

However, Backlund City Hall felt that Jack had excellent work ability and made an exception to promote him to a higher level.

Jack went directly from an ordinary city hall clerk to a leader with certain real power, and his social status rose to a new level.

If we use the analogy of modern police and system, it means that he has transformed from an ordinary policeman into the chief of a police station.

All I had to do at work was sign papers and attend meetings in the office, and my salary increased more than ten times.

In addition, the two houses they sold not only did not lose value, but also appreciated due to their good locations. The two of them had enough money to buy a house in Backlund.

A small policeman from an ordinary county town was suddenly transferred to Beijing to serve as the chief of a police station and was even able to buy a house in Beijing. How could this not make people full of hope?

Of course, all this was because of George. After the two senior deacons went back, the top leaders of the church personally contacted the royal family and issued a transfer order to the city hall.

The steam car moved forward from morning to night and finally arrived in Backlund.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Loen, Backlund has a population of over five million and is recognized as the most prosperous city in the southern and northern continents, far beyond the reach of Tingen City.

The only drawback is that the air is bad, there is yellowish gray fog everywhere, and visibility is extremely poor.

"Snapped!"

George, who was held in Chris's arms, secretly snapped his fingers in his swaddling clothes, and the crotch of a gentleman who reached into Jack's pocket suddenly caught fire.

The family walked through the crowded crowd and arrived at the exit of the station.

"Jack, Jack, here!"

"Oh, Uncle Hyde, thank you for taking the time to pick us up!"

"Hahaha, your father is my best friend. You even peed on my neck when you were little. No need to be so polite to your uncle!"

An old man, well-dressed and with his hair neatly combed, smiled and hugged Jack.

George learned from his parents' conversation that Hyde was a former colleague of Jack's father at the Earl's Palace and now the butler of the Earl's Palace.

Previously, Jack wanted to invest and make money, then use his connections to transfer to Backlund, and that was exactly what he wanted to find: Uncle Hyde.

However, Jack's father had passed away a long time ago, and although the relationship still existed, it was no longer as solid as before, and nothing could be done without spending money.

Hyde is so enthusiastic about Jack now, half because of friendship, but more importantly because of Jack's current position in City Hall.

Now he helps Jack Backlund to gain a foothold, and if he needs it in the future, Jack can also help him.

If Jack was just a kid of an old friend who came to Backlund to seek a way to survive, he would help, but he wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

At most, he could ask his son to come and pick her up, and then help her find a decent job.

Sitting in the carriage prepared by Hyde, the family came to the house that Hyde had helped to rent in advance, and settled down temporarily.

The next step was to slowly buy a house that was suitable for his status with the help of Hyde and hire a housekeeper and several servants.

With Jack's current income, even if he spent all his savings on buying a new house, he could still afford the wages of a housekeeper and several servants.

This is more in line with his current identity.

Five days later, it was Wednesday again. With the help of Hyde, the Earl's butler who had lived in Backlund for fifty years and had many connections, the Bartons successfully bought a fairly good villa on Pacefield Street in the North District.

The villa has two floors, more than a dozen rooms, stables, servants' rooms and a small garden.

The furniture and utensils are relatively old, but still decent.

The actual value of the villa was 30,000 pounds, and with the Bartons' savings of more than 10,000 pounds, they had not originally considered buying it.

Because to get it you have to go to the bank for a loan.

With Jack's job, there will be no problem in getting a loan, but the pressure of life in the future will be great.

Although Jack's salary increased more than ten times, in order to maintain his dignity, he had to hire a housekeeper and servants, which was an expense.

Raising children is another expense.

In order to seek greater development, maintaining relationships with leaders, colleagues and neighbors also requires expenses.

Add to that the mortgage, and life becomes quite tight.

However, just when the Bartons were about to give up and prepare to continue looking, the landlord suddenly reduced the price of the house from 30,000 to 10,000 because he was in a hurry to sell.

So the Bartons were extremely lucky to have gotten this pretty good house.

But only George knew that it was not the landlord who was in a hurry to sell the house, but that the Church of the Goddess of Evernight must have intervened.

Because the location of Villa No. 9 Pestfil Street is less than a hundred meters away from the Cathedral of Saint Samuel, the headquarters of the Goddess of Night.

Helping the Bartons lose 20,000 pounds is showing goodwill.

But building the house so close to the church obviously showed that the church was wary of him and wanted to keep a close eye on him.

It is also possible that it is to win over nearby people.

In the morning, the servant drove Jack to the City Hall to work in a carriage.

Because Jack's promotion was a direct order from the royal family, the people in the city hall believed that Jack had someone above him and were quite friendly to this newcomer transferred from a small town.

Jack's work is going very smoothly and he is in high spirits every day.

Chris was taking George around the capital while building relationships with the neighbors and preparing for his first party in the capital. He had a very fulfilling time.

George continued his research every day as usual, and in the process helped the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of the Lord of Storms to rescue two low-sequence out-of-control people each.

At 3 pm, the Tarot will open as usual.

Miss Justice got the formula of the mind-reading potion from the Sun, and the Hanged Man got more detailed information about Qilingos.

Qi Lingos infiltrated Backlund because he received a mission, which was to lie dormant for a period of time and create a horrific tragedy.

After completing the task, he will get an item that can quickly allow him to advance to a high-sequence strongman.

At the same time, the Hanged Man also recounted many details about Qilingos' life and his personality and habits, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with Qilingos.

After some discussion, Miss Justice was finally responsible for finding Qilingos' whereabouts. Once she found him, she would immediately notify George to kill him.

After the Tarot Club ended, George read through the pages of Roselle's diary in Klein's hand and obtained some more useful information.
