Should I raise you too?

Fortunately, this attack was much milder than the one in Misty Sea, and she managed to control it on her own, but she wasn't confident that she could keep it under control forever.

Since dreams can happen a second time, they can happen three, four, five, or even six times. She can't gamble like this every time!

Suppressing the tremor in her brain, Elsie lowered her head, took a sip of red tea, and opened the glass pane.

"You have been contaminated by an unknown entity."

"Suggestion 1: Die from loss of control"

Recommendation 2: Proactive suicide

Recommendation 3: Ask Simon for help.

She decisively chose option 3, learned Simon's destination from the captain in the port tavern, arrived in Granville, and quickly identified a merchant named 'Sigmund'.

But things stalled there. She wandered around Granville for two days, hoping that being would notice her and take her under its wing. She had high hopes, but that being completely ignored her.

With no other option, she had to volunteer herself. Upon hearing that the manor was hiring servants, she immediately accessed the Chamber of Commerce's archives, obtained the file folder that the Chamber of Commerce was to hand over to the manor, and placed her resume inside.

As she handed out her resume, she felt a pang of sorrow: I had successfully robbed... well, I hadn't managed to rob anyone, but I had managed to break into the vault of the Kingdom Bank headquarters, and now I was applying for a job as a maid!

Is this reasonable? Is this right? This is a serious waste of my abilities!

Sigh, there's nothing I can do but endure it to survive.

I'll work as a maid for a while, and once I find a way to resolve that bizarre dream, I'll quit my job and continue being my notorious thief.

I've already planned my next target: the treasury of the Kingdom's Governor's Mansion in the Southern Continent! It's said that this is where the Kingdom keeps a vast amount of treasures it has plundered from the Southern Continent!

Let it plunder for another two years, and then I'll sell myself to the evil god and be his maid for two years before I steal it!

If even the vaults of the Kingdom Bank headquarters can't stump me, then the mere colonial vaults will be no problem at all!

Elsie's plan was very well-thought-out. She believed that there were two main difficulties in the plan: one was to solve the strange dream, and the other was how to escape after looting the governor's treasury.

She didn't expect that she would get stuck at the first step.

Maria said to Elsie, "If Miss Elsie is serious, then I have no reason to refuse. However, all we need is a maid."

“I know, just pay the maid’s salary,” Elsie said generously.

Maria nodded and asked a professional question: "Miss Elsie, are you familiar with cleaning floors and windows?"

Elsie's smile froze.

As a master thief, she had never cleaned the floors and windows.

Is it possible to be proficient in floor removal and window demolition?

She nodded hesitantly.

Maria continued, "What about fireplace maintenance and furniture upkeep?"

Is it possible to gain experience by breaking into the chimney and stealing furniture?

What about cleaning gold and silver items?

I'm familiar with cleaning gold and silver items; you can just throw them in a fire to turn them into gold and silver ingots and then sell them. Wait, that doesn't seem to be the kind of cleaning I'm talking about.

"What about the etiquette for receiving guests?"

First, unleash a barrage of bullets with your revolver, then use the "Sin" spell to control him, making it difficult for him to dodge. After killing him, find a place to hide him and cover the bloodstains with sand.

Can you cook? What dishes can you make?

Sashimi, please? My knife skills are amazing! I can cut a thigh without ever cutting the calf! And it'll be a clean, decisive cut in one stroke.

...No, no matter how you look at it, this isn't a dish!

Elsie's confidence vanished, replaced by confusion and helplessness.

Why do maids really have to do chores? The maids I've seen aren't like that!

As a maid, isn't it to wake up the master in the morning, go to the dining room for breakfast together, then go for a walk on the deck, chat and enjoy the scenery, then have lunch, repeat the walk and scenery, then have dinner, play cards in the common room, and finally go to sleep?

This is the procedure you'll follow while you're on the ship!

Why is it that all sorts of jobs suddenly pop up for me?

Bullying the new maid?

Elsie was heartbroken. She had thought Maria was a good person, but she never expected her to exploit her juniors like this!

Maria put down her pen and looked at Elsie, who had remained silent throughout: "...Miss Elsie, would you like to try the bodyguard position?"

"Are you still hiring bodyguards?" Elsie asked in surprise.

Maria shook her head: "Other manors..."

“I want to be in a manor like this!” Elsie interrupted her.

Damn it, why is applying for a maid job the hardest part?!

Elsie racked her brains, trying to find a position she could take on.

She grasped Maria's hand: "I can be your personal maid!"

Maria paused for a moment, then asked, "What does Miss Elsie think the job of a personal maid is?"

"Sleep with the male owner?" Elsie guessed.

That's a personal maid from some lewd country!

Besides, if such a personal maid really existed, how could it possibly be your turn!

Maria pried Elsie's fingers apart, pulled her hand away, and stood up: "Miss Elsie, the job of a maid is not suitable for you."

"Do you have a simple maid? I can do anything!"

Elsie used the "Sin" spell in an attempt to bribe her way into a maid job, but unfortunately, Ms. Maria did not possess the relevant sins, so the spell could not be used.

It's all that butler Joseph's fault for suddenly leaving. I had already planned to use "evil" to control him! Elsie remembered this grudge.

Maria thought for a moment and said to Elsie, "Being a dishwashing maid doesn't require any special skills, but it's the hardest job..."

"I can!" Elsie exclaimed with delight.

Maria was surprised that Elsie was willing to do even this kind of work, and she hesitated.

The other party may have other purposes for entering the manor.

“I need to ask Mr. Simon,” she said to Elsie.

Chapter 119 Believe a Little (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

While Elsie was interviewing the maid, Simon was attending a service in a small chapel on the outskirts of the city.

The church was small and shabby, without stained glass or a magnificent organ, only rows of faded wooden pews and simply dressed lower-class people, and of course, a priest who was equally simple.

Everyone in the church, including the priest, had features different from those of the Eastern Continent. Their skin was slightly darker, and their noses were more prominent. They were all from the Southern Continent.

This church is a sea god church, a local belief in the southern continent.

Simon entered the church, and the believers quickly recognized him as a resident of the Eastern Continent. They all stood up and looked at him nervously.

The priest approached the church uneasily, his face showing alarm.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" The middle-aged priest tried to remain calm. "I am Father Victor, and also the head of the church."

"Does the sea god not welcome outsiders to worship?" Simon asked the priest rhetorically.

“No…” Father Victor was a little confused.

What had he just heard? A service? This esteemed gentleman from the Eastern Continent was going to worship in his own church? To worship his own gods?

A sense of absurdity arose in Father Victor's heart.

Many people from the Southern Continent who worship at the Holy Radiance Church convert to the Golden Sun God and the Silver Moon God, but conversely, it is extremely rare for people from the Eastern Continent to come to the Sea God Church to worship!

It should be noted that the churches on the other three continents all have records of divine descent, and it is said that the bishops of the three major churches can even receive divine responses in their prayers.

As for the Church of the Sea God... it has nothing. Victor's family has been priests of the Church of the Sea God for generations, and his piety is beyond doubt, but even he often wonders whether the Sea God exists.

If it exists, why does it never respond to its believers? If it exists, why does it stand by and watch its own territory and its followers be exploited by the other three continents?

In this context, Father Victor was flattered by Simon's arrival.

"When does the service begin?" Simon asked again.

“You’ve come at the perfect time; it will begin soon.” Father Victor immediately arranged a seat for Simon, placing him in the front row.

The Southern Continent believers in the front row gave him fawning smiles. A few younger believers turned their heads away, somewhat disdainful, but dared not show it directly.

Simon observed their reaction and marveled at the obedience of the people of the Southern Continent.

He sat down on the bench; the service had already begun.

The service was brief, unlike the elaborate services offered by Kingdom Radiant Church. There were no choruses, hymns, or rousing musical instruments.

The priest recited the scriptures of the sea god, led the congregation in prayer, and then moved on to the next segment.

In a formal worship service, the next part is communion. To save money, communion is only performed once a month, and it was just performed last week this month.

Father Victor hesitated for a moment, then asked his assistant priest to fetch the treasured Holy Communion from the back.

In the Church of St. Radiant, communion consists of bread and wine; the bread represents the golden sun, and the wine represents the silver moon.
