Into Unscientific

Chapter 30 Grantham

As an absolutely devout believer, Maverick never changed his belief until his death. If there is a numerical value for loyalty, then he must be 100%.

Therefore, even though he was concerned at this time, the Mavericks did not choose to leave halfway home to calculate the problems left by Hooker, but planned to continue to Grantham to attend the party.

Ever since.

When Hook's carriage gradually went away, the group packed their bags again and set off again.

Three hours later.

The eight people who rested twice on the way finally arrived outside the entrance of a town.

This is a small town surrounded by a city wall. The height of the city wall is about four meters, and there is a stone tablet at the entrance.

There is an English line engraved on the stele, which translates to Grantham.

During the two years when Xu Yun went to England as an exchange student, he came to this town once and stayed for three and a half days.

After all, this is the hometown of Mavericks. In a sense, it can be regarded as a "sacred place" in the physics world. Most of the physics practitioners who have the opportunity to come to London will come to check in.

At that time, the cash-strapped Xu Yun lived in a hotel named Ramada, which happened to be located near the entrance of the city wall of Grantham, and he could see the gate on the right hand side as soon as he entered the town.

The hotel is listed as a four-star hotel, but the room rate only costs 290 Huaxia dollars after tax, which can be regarded as quite low.

However, the sound insulation of the hotel is a bit bad, and some applause can be heard in the middle of the night.

At that time, the hotel owner still patted his chest and told Xu Yun that their hotel has a history of more than 400 years, but it has been renovated several times in the middle, so it doesn't look old.

At that time, there was still a 400-year-old sign certified by the John Bull government on the wall, so Xu Yun foolishly believed this, and even paid three euros to take a photo with the sign.

But now when he came to Grantham, he really wanted to spit on the boss's bald head, which was as thick as a programmer:

That hotel has a history of 400 years. The place where the hotel was located in this era is obviously a fruit stand now!

Sure enough, you can't believe anything when you travel these days. Some people even question the local history. (Note 1)

In addition to the hotel being replaced by a fruit stand, the architectural status of the entire town of Grantham is also very different from later generations:

Although the later generations of Grantham still maintain the classical decoration, both the buildings and the streets are very clean, somewhat similar to the former residences of local celebrities, and the main focus is the atmosphere of the times.

but at this moment

The visible parts of the town are almost all two-story and three-story brick houses without any architectural style at all. The exterior is damaged and blackened, and the shade is covered with moss.

When Xu Yun glanced casually, he could see a few lumps of dirt that could be mosaiced in the corners of the roadside.

Although the main road of the town is relatively clean, it is a seven or eight meter wide street paved with stones, and some pedestrians and vehicles are constantly passing through it.

But if you look closely, you will find an inexplicable, faintly yellow mucus sticking to the crevices or edges of some stones.

From the flies that fly over it from time to time, it is not difficult to see that the composition of these mucus is probably not a good thing.

But Xu Yun was a little surprised when he first saw it. There were many skinny poor people in ragged clothes in the town, as if they didn't notice it, they just sat or even lay in the filth.

Their eyes are numb, allowing flies, mice, and cockroaches to run around and even on their bodies.

Seeing this, Xu Yun sighed slightly.

Whether it is the early days of colonialism or the era of the industrial revolution in the future, the people at the bottom of the British Peninsula are not having a good time.

Some people may have made a fortune by luck, but more have become the denominator of certain scores. With tears and hatred, they have turned into a black cloud over London, which cannot rest in peace until now.

Then, under the guidance of William and his wife, the group began to go straight to the southwest.

The area of ​​Grantham is not big, and it only took more than ten minutes before and after, and everyone came to the tallest building in Grantham except the bell tower, which was St. Tidodia Church.

The church of St. Tidodia is about 12 or 3 meters high. It is a square shape as a whole. The pillars are in groups of three. The width of the bays varies greatly.

Noble and solemn, majestic and oppressive.

Obviously, this is a standard Balotte style building - the early churches in Europe were in Romanesque style, which later developed into Gothic style.

But wait until the 18th century, the architectural style will come again:

At that time, the Gothic style will sit up in shock, chat and laugh happily for hundreds of years, and even affect the local architectural design field.

Standing at the door of the church was a benevolent pastor, about sixty years old, with plain but high-quality clothes and shiny hair.

When the pastor sees everyone, he will warmly hug them, and he will not dislike the other person's body odor or dirt on their body.

Perhaps it was because there was only one gathering place in the town, there was already a long line at the church door at this time, and people kept coming from all directions to fill the vacancy at the end of the line.

Xu Yun and his party stood in line for about ten minutes, and finally came to the pastor.

William's family is obviously old believers in this church. The moment he saw them, the pastor said William's name without hesitation:

"Hallelujah! Mr. Escue! It is a pleasure to meet you. May you be anointed with God's anointing and may your family be blessed!"

"Hallelujah! Pastor Yarlin! Thank you God for your guidance!"

William embraced each other generously, followed by Mrs. William, Lisa, Lilani and others

When Mavericks came forward, Pastor Yarlin became more enthusiastic. After all, this was the only student who could make Trinity Seminary accept a fee reduction for more than ten years:

"Little Isaac! Praise God, your coming will please my Lord! May God guard your heart more than anything else, because the fruit of a lifetime comes from the heart."

In the face of Pastor Yarlin's approval, the Mavericks rarely showed humility and respect, an expression you would never expect to see in life:

"Hallelujah! Mr. Yarlin."

Ya'erlin patted him on the shoulder heavily, and then set his sights on Xu Yun:

"Oh, who is my lord?"

Xiao Niu gave Xu Yun a forward look, and introduced:

"Mr. Yarlin, this is my friend from the East. His name is Donkey Fat Fish. He came to worship and serve with us today."

Hearing this, Xu Yun stepped forward and nodded to Ya'erlin:

"Hello, Mr. Yarlin."

Yarlin looked at him seriously and said:

"Welcome, boy, and may God bless you."

Note:

I was chatting with others about the revision of the work in the group, and I suddenly remembered that the original title of this book was going to be "Empire of Science and Technology Begins with the Elimination of Cockroaches", but it was rejected by many people. I ask you here, do you really find it unpleasant?

Ugly stay 1 here.

It's ok to stay here for 2.

I'll see if my name is really that bad
