Chapter 406 Sugar and Knight

Sugar is the main substance that produces heat in the human body.

Sugar addiction.

If you are in a terrible environment, only excessive sugar can cover up the bad taste of the food itself.

Then people with a little wealth will quickly turn into people who can't live without sugar for three meals.

At least the desserts in front of Ji Lin all show their extremely high sugar content. The light white thin bread that becomes fluffy in the oven makes people's appetites grow, but the maple syrup that is about to overflow like puffs in the bread makes him stay away.

The golden coffee-colored viscous liquid slides on the transparent bone china plate, and after spreading it out, it slowly solidifies in the air.

Maple syrup.

Ji Lin gently tore off a small piece of white bread and put it in his mouth. The softness and slight sweetness almost made him burst into tears. Such simple and ordinary food made him begin to realize that there are foods that normal people can eat in this world.

No one would want to think about white bread as a staple food... just like rice will not taste bad after being made according to the established process.

The almost pure and simple production process makes the maker have more creative ideas but can only stop at the simple process.

How is this possible.

But just add a lethal amount of sugar to the white bread, that's all.

He can see that the chef is committed to making everyone who visits this restaurant and orders this dish suffer from diabetes... But the people around are still happy to enjoy the sugary food in front of them.

These nobles, these Victorian jazz are dining elegantly surrounded by classical music.

New London, the business district of the upper city.

Clean and bright streets, with a large number of green leafy plants that can survive in a relatively harsh air environment planted on the streets, and professional four-legged robots move and spray water to keep the leaves green at all times.

Pedestrians on the road wear their own decorations, and their clothes are complicated and neat. There are no railroad tracks or steam trains on the streets, only a large number of small locomotives decorated with brass and gears to take them on the road.

The majority of people on the road are still those men and women wearing woolen clothes, but their faces have more emotions that they did not see at the junction of the lower and upper city.

Happy?

And he was sitting in a restaurant on the side of the road, which was a restaurant hotel that received knights. He would stay here and maintain the safety of the area in the next few months.

The word "ensure safety" may not be appropriate, it means to eliminate threats.

Of course, the government of New London might want him to ensure safety.

"Sir, your coffee, and the sugar cubes."

So he came here, to be responsible for the security of the knights.

Together with the guards of New London, he was responsible for the security of these knights from various knights and even from another country.

Tear off a large piece of white bread separately, put it in the sun and observe the scattered white sesame seeds and folded folds on it.

Press on the maple syrup, and the moving bread falls on the maple syrup flowing out of the soft bread.

Only a little bit, this piece of bread is still outrageously sweet.

Sweet to the point of bitterness.

But the coffee in this high-end restaurant is still as unpalatable as the water that the chef directly scoops out of the pot... and it has been specially heated.

After seeing the water source of the city, Ji Lin did not add milk. His knowledge told him that when a city was polluted to this extent, the underground water source and nearby plants in the city might not be safe.

When he was in the Holy City, he liked to add milk to his drinks, and the animal husbandry of New London... was fresh milk products, which had a very short shelf life.

Except for a very few people, it was impossible to enjoy fresh milk from pastures far away from New London.

Taking off his short-beaked mask, he looked like a traveler who arrived here from the East.

Carrying the same rectangular "violin case" as the night crows, he could carry his weapons with him without being watched by everyone like a special person.

And through the clear glass curtain wall that separated the inside and the outside, he could see everything on the street outside and feel the unique style of this era.

As the meal time ended, there were more knights in shiny armor in the crowd outside the window. They were all knights who finished their meals at the hotel and went out-Ji Lin thought knight was an adjective before, but now it seems that these people are real "knights".

Just a group of people wearing armor with different decorations in this place with a strong modern flavor gave Ji Lin a very strange feeling.

It was as incongruous as a fully armed Templar holding a Kalashnikov in his hand.

Ji Lin stirred the coffee in the cup and realized that only sugar could save this cup of pot washing water. No wonder the newsstand owner kept adding sugar to the coffee that day.

The four-legged sprinkler robot on the road was still moving slowly. When it approached, Ji Lin saw that there were several middle-aged workers in tattered work clothes standing on the sprinkler robot's head.

If the cost of machinery is not as good as manpower, if the complex part of the function can be replaced by humans, they will use humans without hesitation.

Save costs.

This restaurant is less than three kilometers away from the industrial zone in a straight line. If he wants, he can go to the Thames River at any time to admire this sewer in New London.

If there is no accident, his task is to sit by the window of this restaurant for a whole day to wait for changes.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something strange about his transfer, as if someone realized that he should not participate too much as an outsider in the clearing mission of the Flesh Turbine.

For example, the Duke named Charlie, well, there are always a lot of newspapers in the hotel.

Ji Lin took a few newspapers in his own identity and flipped them in front of him, checking the content about the Duke in the newspaper.

‘Duke Charlie received the downtrodden knights. Is the knight system a backwardness today? The government should not waste taxpayers' money. ’

‘Duke Charlie visited the industrial area, paid attention to the growing number of deaths of workers in New London, and proposed a plan to set up a new London orphanage. ’

‘Duke Charlie met with the royal family to discuss the specific arrangements for the invitation to the knights to hold a party. ’

A powerful official duke who connects with the royal family, Ji Lin read the report in the newspaper and thought so.

Among the many pieces of information, Ji Lin's fingertips stopped on a page.

Maybe the night crows don't have the habit of reading newspapers, but he does.

On a not-so-large newspaper, he finally found other things that the duke did.

‘Duke Charles visits the Industrial Institute. Where will the Empire’s war machine lead us?’

A duke who only works in charity and management visited the Industrial Institute. Although the content was all conspiracy theories, nonsense and unreasonable absurd conjectures common in tabloids, Ji Lin still cut off this page of newspaper with a knife.

Industrial Institute... the design bureau that made the large differential engine.

He has a lot of time, so he has become a detective. I wonder if he can find a super detective named Sherlock Holmes in this world.

There are also many newspapers that need him to deal with. The inventory of newspapers in this hotel can even be traced back to 1885...The unsold newspapers are piled up in the depths of the hotel warehouse.

A low exclamation interrupted Ji Lin’s thoughts. Ji Lin looked up and saw that it was a lady. Following her gaze, he saw a group of knights in armor kicking a street beggar on the roadside.

Ji Lin frowned and prepared to go downstairs to stop their behavior.

This is at least within his jurisdiction.

An old knight in simple armor stood in front of them, blocking the mockery of these knights and their servants.
