Lord of the Divine Show

"My fields, my wheat seedlings..."

John was like a walking zombie, his eyes full of pain, heading towards a steam train station.

Their family originally signed a long-term contract with the noble Viscount Sinsili and rented a piece of land under that gentleman's name for farming. They paid 50% of the harvest every year and lived a pretty good life.

Starting from his grandfather's generation, he accumulated one farm tool after another. By his father's generation, he already had three huts that were not strong but enough to protect against wind and cold, and raised some livestock.

Originally, he thought that this kind of life would continue forever.

As the eldest son in the family, he will receive most of the property. If his younger brothers don't go out to find food on their own, they will have to work hard to farm for themselves in exchange for some rations.

And he might be able to save up for a few years, marry a farmer's daughter who is not pretty but strong enough, have a few children, and pass on the bloodline.

Although it is hard work, as long as the life can go on, the farmer will never leave the land he loves!

But starting a few years ago, everything changed!

A mechanical revolution started in the royal capital of Carleston and suddenly swept across the country!

First, there was an increase in the prices of various textile products, and then there was a market that was in short supply.

Various textile factory owners worked hard to organize workers, but they were still unable to meet market demand. They had to work hard to improve technology and develop various types of machinery that could promote the progress of textiles.

Then, according to the Traveler Church, the great god sent a gift.

The divine and majestic Him inspired a certain inventor and brought the steam engine onto the stage of history.

Various steam appliances were invented one after another, which greatly improved the efficiency of factories, and the desire for wool was almost endless.

The land aristocrats were tempted by the huge benefits and became factory owners or ranchers one after another. They broke the agreements and drove the tenant farmers who leased their land for farming out of their homes.

Not only that, they even promoted various bills to blatantly enclose land, and even occupied the fields of homesteaders, gathering all the good fields together and enclosing them with fences to use as pasture for lambs!

It was against this background that John's family was driven out of the land they had cultivated for generations and became homeless for a while.

But the kingdom does not allow its people to wander around and become vagrants.

It issued strict laws, stipulating that a tramp would be whipped for the first time, had his ears cut off for the second time, demoted to a slave, and executed directly for the third time!

In order to survive, a large number of farmers had to accept meager wages and work in various factories.

But those working conditions…

According to Johan’s father, who became ill due to overwork, it was more tiring than any other farm work, and it also came with huge risks!

Many people had their fingers pinched directly by gears, or were directly burned to death by high-temperature steam leaking from pipelines. They were so unrecognizable before they died that even the priests who performed the requiem ceremony would be frightened!

John's parents, along with their younger siblings, applied for jobs and became workers in a newly opened local factory.

And he definitely doesn't want to do this!

He doesn't like the cold equipment of the local factory, the tall chimneys, and the pipes that discharge large amounts of sewage into the river. This will cast a gloomy color on his life.

Therefore, John decided to leave the sad place of his hometown with some meager travel expenses and go to a big city, such as the royal capital, the Phoenix City Carleston, to seek life!

I heard there is gold everywhere! There are countless opportunities!

At this time, he washed the only linen shirt he wore, put it on, looked at a building not far away, and secretly encouraged himself.

"come on!"

"John! Be confident. No one will know that you are a farmer's son. Go to the ticket office and buy a steam train ticket to Carleston. It's that simple..."

…

"I said...do you want to buy a ticket?"

At this moment, a voice next to him suddenly spoke, startling John: "You...who are you?"

He saw an extra person beside him.

The other person has blond curly hair, eyes like the blue sea, a sunny smile, and neat and white teeth. He is wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and looks energetic and energetic.

Inexplicably, John felt a little inferior.

People like the other party are the ones who can tell at a glance that they are from the upper class, and no matter how much they disguise themselves, their temperament will still be exposed.

"Hello, my name is Levi!"

Zhong Shenxiu naturally used his former Western name: "You are a traveler. I think you want to buy a ticket? Where do you want to go?"

The language here is called 'Secret Language', and it is said to be a gift from the gods, but Zhong Shenxiu learned it from the memory of the headless Earl.

The pronunciation is not very different. After a slight adjustment, you will have a pure local accent.

'traveller? Doesn’t he have to abide by the Vagrancy Management Act? Perhaps he is a descendant of a noble lord...'

Johan felt even more inferior. He answered in a low voice: "My name is Johan, and I want to go to Carleston!"

"Phoenix City? It just so happens... I'm planning to go there too, why not buy tickets together?" Zhong Shenxiu smiled and extended the invitation.

After arriving in this country, he discovered that the Kingdom of Clement was a little different from what he had imagined.

The steam revolution seems to have already begun.

But when he thought about those evil gods who could span countless worlds, he didn't find it strange at all, but rather it was natural.

After all, as long as they want to, it is not impossible to create a doomsday wasteland world in the post-science fiction era.

According to the information obtained, this change has been carried out bit by bit since the New God came to the throne.

John thought that the change happened in a few years, but he didn't know that it might have been brewing for decades and accumulated enough power!

"Together?"

John grabbed his collar and suddenly his eyes lit up.

yes!

I am a country bumpkin, but the gentleman opposite me is obviously not.

If I traveled with him, who would guess that I was a homeless person?

The other party's temperament and etiquette were enough to deceive the conductor and the police. No, he was not a liar in the first place!

"OK!"

John couldn't wait to agree: "Sir, I have a request. Can you buy a ticket for me...I...I can't read."

"no problem."

As everyone knows, he is also Zhong Shenxiu's cover.

After all, it is really dangerous to fly directly from the sky to Carleston. It is better to take a train there and study along the way.

He took a handful of metal coins of various styles with a smile, and there was nothing strange on his face: "By the way... I would like to ask, what do you want to do in Carleston?"

"Looking for...looking for a job!" John muttered in response.

"oh!"

Zhong Shenxiu shook his head secretly, his eyes showing some pity.

If a farmer without education, knowledge, or skills goes to a big city, the most he can do is enter a factory!

It's like going around in a circle and coming back to the same place. The treatment may be worse than that in the local area!
