Westminster Abbey (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

The next morning, Gu Xi, feeling a little sore, slowly got out of bed.

The rare deep sleep left Gu Xi feeling quite refreshed.

It was just that, for some reason, his back felt a little sore.

But thankfully, a Shilling was worth a Shilling. Although it was a third-class room, it had everything it should. Gu Xi's clothes had even been ironed, so he finally didn't have to wear damp clothes anymore.

After getting dressed, Gu Xi picked up the jerky from the bedside table, bit into it, and walked out of the room.

As soon as he went downstairs, the bartender who was cleaning the bar looked up.

"Guest, how did you sleep last night? Would you like me to keep your room for you?"

"I slept well, but I'd like to change rooms tonight."

As Gu Xi spoke, he placed a Shilling on the counter.

The bartender understood immediately, "Alright, I'll arrange a clean room for you tonight."

He also pushed a key towards Gu Xi.

Gu Xi took the key and casually asked, "By the way, do you know how to get to Westminster Abbey?"

"What are you going there for? It's a Graveyard for the rich."

The bartender asked with a puzzled expression.

"There used to be a Church in Victoria City, but it was torn down at some point. One of my ancestors was buried in the Graveyard behind that Church.

As a result, when the Church was torn down, the body was moved somewhere, I don't know where. The only thing I'm sure of is that the body of a knight from that Church was moved to Westminster Abbey.

So I want to go over and see if there are any records of the relocation."

"I see." Hearing Gu Xi's explanation, the bartender didn't ask any more questions.

Although the people of Britain didn't care about such things, he wouldn't interfere.

Since Gu Xi had this need, he naturally wouldn't try to dissuade him. "Westminster Abbey is a little behind the upper city level, not too far from here. Just take the 19th Steam Bus from here and get off at Miannawei Station.

Westminster Abbey is very large, you can see it as soon as you get off the bus."

"Thank you."

Having found out the route, Gu Xi didn't linger. He chewed on the jerky and headed outside.

After leaving the tavern, Gu Xi looked up at the sky. Victoria City was still as foggy as yesterday. Without a Street Lamp, visibility was no more than thirty meters.

At night, the visibility was even lower. Even standing under a Street Lamp at night, you could only see about seven or eight meters around you. Any further than that, you couldn't even tell if there was anyone there, let alone their gender.

Therefore, all kinds of vehicles on the road, whether carriages or steam locomotives, would constantly ring their bells when moving.

If you didn't hear it and got run over, you only had yourself to blame.

While waiting for the bus, Gu Xi heard the unique sound of the 19th Steam Bus.

"Ding~ Dudu~ Ding!"

Then a huge headlight appeared in the fog. Under the steam and fog, Gu Xi could clearly see a 19 written on the headlight.

"Here it comes!"

Gu Xi, preparing to board the bus, took a step forward, but at that moment, Gu Xi felt a slight footstep behind him.

Gu Xi was afraid of the ubiquitous Thieves in Victoria City.

There were Thieves everywhere, even when he was waiting for the bus.

Without thinking, Gu Xi turned around and shoved the jerky he was biting into the Thief's hand.

The Thief originally wanted to steal the money from Gu Xi's pocket, but he didn't expect Gu Xi to turn around like that. He was still looking confused as he held the jerky.

At this moment, Gu Xi pointed at him.

Lesser Corpse Explosion!

Then he quickly jumped onto the 19th Steam Bus.

Before the Thief could react, the jerky in his hand exploded with a bang.

The power of the explosion wasn't that great, about the same as a small firecracker.

But it was still an explosion, and the thief was still clutching the jerky.

With that explosion, the thief's hand was instantly ruined.

Dazed by the blast, the thief couldn't even think about chasing after Gu Xi, and could only watch helplessly as Gu Xi jumped onto the 19th Steam Bus and left.

Gu Xi, who had acted on a whim, didn't know he was being targeted. He took out another piece of jerky from his pocket and bit into it.

Gu Xi found that this kind of jerky was actually not bad. Not only could it be eaten, but it was also quite effective for blowing people up.

Most importantly, it was cheap, and throwing this kind of jerky was much more convenient than throwing a flying knife.

Sometimes, this jerky could even kill people.

Besides, it's much more reasonable to carry a piece of jerky on the road than to carry a handful of flying knives.

Satisfied with his choice, Gu Xi happily considered how to make good use of this discovery.

For example, burning some jerky to see if using Corpse Explosion would add the power of flames.

Or maybe adding some poison to the jerky? As Gu Xi pondered this, chewing on the jerky in his mouth, he unknowingly noticed that the 19th Steam Bus had actually driven onto Victoria Bridge.

The moment the bus went onto the bridge, Gu Xi felt like something had swept over him.

Just as Gu Xi was about to stand up and resist, that feeling disappeared instantly.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Gu Xi understood that this was the Victoria official professional's control over Victoria City.

Especially vehicles entering and leaving Victoria Bridge, which were under their surveillance.

All professionals actually knew this, but they had no way to resist.

Gu Xi was a foreign professional and didn't know the situation in Victoria City, so being startled was inevitable.

Fortunately, this surveillance was just a casual sweep and didn't have the intention of closely monitoring all professionals.

After crossing Victoria Bridge, this surveillance disappeared, and Gu Xi could finally relax, finding a seat to sit down.

The rest of the journey was much smoother. Gu Xi, who was sitting by the window, noticed that Victoria City had grown much larger after so many years of construction.

Although the steam bus moved quickly, it still took a full hour or so to reach Gu Xi's destination.

Miannawei Station.

The reason he knew he had reached his destination was entirely because as the steam bus turned a corner, a tall church appeared directly opposite the steam bus.

Without anyone introducing it, Gu Xi knew that this church was his destination, Westminster Abbey.

However, looking at Westminster Abbey from afar, Gu Xi felt that things might not go so smoothly this time.

Others might not be able to see it, but Gu Xi could see that at least three kinds of pure white halos were spreading outward from Westminster Abbey as the center.

This was the manifestation of a professional's strength breaking through level 20.

In other words, there were at least three professionals above level 20 in this church.

And they were of the Holy Light lineage.
