Diary of Crossing
Understand the world.
Recalled my identity.
An imperial civil servant, the son of a merchant, with no backing or background, currently on vacation, and the vacation is about to end.
The tenth day since crossing over!
Read books and newspapers!
Deeply understand the body structure of the female creatures in this world.
Discovered a little secret. I seem to have a little supernatural ability.
In my memory, this weak and almost imperceptible strange energy is called: Bloody Glory.
The eleventh day since crossing over!
Read books and newspapers!
Understand the world.
Prepare to end the vacation and face familiar colleagues.
Even in a different world, one can't escape the mundane. One still has to work.
Life has to go on...
The twelfth day since crossing over!
Pack my luggage...
Damn it, what did I discover?
Someone's diary!?
He actually died from summoning an evil god!
Wait...
"If someone greets you, give them a warm hug. If it's a woman, praise her for her beauty. If you encounter an unexpected situation, just laugh and say: What a nice day today..."
Charlotte Mecklenburg kept cheering himself up and tried his best to appear calm, composed, and unhurried.
About ten days ago, Charlotte Mecklenburg was still called Huang Haisheng. He was a high school math teacher born on Earth and completed a standard undergraduate education.
He didn't know how he "died".
During the last period of that life, his consciousness was confused and he had no memory at all. When he woke up, Huang Haisheng became Charlotte Mecklenburg, an imperial government employee on vacation.
Charlotte Mecklenburg worked in the Central Government Office and was a first-class clerk. In the imperial bureaucratic system, he was ranked at the 41st level and was responsible for some paperwork.
The country he worked hard for and received a salary from was called the Fals Empire!
A powerful country that never existed in Huang Haisheng's memory.
Charlotte Mecklenburg was a native of the Old Continent, born in the Duchy of Behemoth (Note: One of the vassal states of the Fals Empire), and came to the empire to study when he grew up. After graduation, he successfully got a lucrative job in the capital, Strasbourg.
In the first few days after crossing over, he was very panicked. Anyone encountering such a thing couldn't be calm.
Fortunately...
Charlotte Mecklenburg was on vacation at that time.
He rented a small house by the sea in Senis alone. The neighbors around were all strangers, giving him enough time and environment to calm down.
Huang Haisheng quickly judged that taking over the identity of Charlotte Mecklenburg and living step by step was his best choice.
After crossing over, he obtained most of the memories of "Charlotte Mecklenburg" and gained some ancient knowledge, which enabled him to perfectly integrate into this fantasy world with a classical European style.
There are gods, magical creatures, forbidden ancient creations, giants, savage witches, blood clans, magic, fighting spirit, alchemy, as well as transcendent beings and transcendent items.
This world is governed by nine true gods.
In an indescribable ancient era, the nine gods concluded a sacred covenant, "The Laws of the Gods", stipulating that the nine gods would take turns governing the world in units of a hundred years, called eras.
Now it is the thirty-fifth year of Lady Black Moon governing the world and also the fifth era of the establishment of the Fals Empire.
Charlotte Mecklenburg stepped into the government office, showing a calm smile and taking the initiative to give a gentle greeting to anyone he met.
Everyone who passed by him was rather blurry. The original owner had invested too few memory pixels in the appearances of most colleagues, not enough for him to recognize any of them.
Just as although we can recognize most acquaintances at any time, when alone, we can't imagine the appearances of most acquaintances. This is a small defect in human memory.
All the way to the office in his memory, there were more than twenty clerks in the same office as Charlotte Mecklenburg. Although it wasn't an independent office space, it was much better than those colleagues working in the hall.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he heard a serious middle-aged woman shout: "Mr. Mecklenburg, you will have a special job in these few days."
Charlotte smiled slightly and pieced together the image of the speaker by searching his memory.
This middle-aged lady was his immediate supervisor, Mrs. Aldegonde, a stern and dignified senior government staff member.
"OK, Mrs. Aldegonde. I will do my best to complete this job arrangement."
Mrs. Aldegonde was slightly surprised. She originally thought that Charlotte Mecklenburg would refuse. This job was very difficult and almost no one was willing to take it.
However, since Charlotte had agreed, she wouldn't cause any complications. She said indifferently: "Take this identification and go to Kilmainham Prison. Someone will arrange the next step of the job for you."
"Here is one écu as a subsidy for your temporary job this time."
Charlotte smiled slightly. While receiving the envelope handed by Mrs. Aldegonde, he searched his memory and soon recalled the relevant memories of the imperial currency.
There were three currency units in the empire: écu, franc, and sou.
One écu was equal to ten francs and one franc was equal to one hundred sous.
Écu meant shield in the imperial language. There were two denominations, one écu and five écus, minted in gold and of high value. Nowadays, only wealthy people and major nobles have a large amount of écus hidden at home. It has become a collectible and is rarely circulated in the market. Almost no one would take it out to spend.
Franc was originally a weight unit of currency, equivalent to one pound of silver. It was changed to mint silver coins in the Third Era. The imperial people called it the old franc. In the Fourth Era, an equivalent banknote was issued and was called the new franc. There were five denominations: one, five, ten, twenty, and fifty. After being changed to banknotes, silver-minted francs, like écus, rarely appeared in the market. In fact, they withdrew from circulation. One franc was roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 1,800 to 1,900 RMB.
The sou has five denominations: one sou, five sous, ten sous, twenty sous, and fifty sous. No banknotes have been issued. It is now the only coin that is still in large circulation.
One écu is already a very generous remuneration for an extra job, approximately equal to Charlotte's salary for one and a half months.
Yes, as a first-class clerk of the empire, Charlotte is a high-paid person with a weekly salary of one franc and seventy sous. He even has the ability to go on vacation every year.
Except for the fact that due to the short working years, he didn't have much savings and couldn't afford to buy a residence, so he could only rent. Among the young people in the empire, he could be regarded as an outstanding one with a bright future.
This is also the fundamental reason why there would be girls touching his thigh at social banquets. Charlotte Mecklenburg is a very high-quality imperial gentleman with a bright future.
Mrs. Aldegonde was serious and spoke little. After explaining the work, she returned to her own office.
Charlotte turned and left the office, left the building of the government office, waved casually on the street, and a public carriage quietly stopped. The coachman waited for Charlotte to board the carriage and made the horse trot again.
Sitting in the carriage, Charlotte experienced the jolting of this ancient means of transportation while opening the envelope, pulling out a ten-franc banknote and an official letter of introduction.
The empire didn't issue any kind of banknote in écus. There was no one-écu banknote, nor a five-écu banknote. Écus only had gold coins.
Due to the above reasons combined, the empire had a custom that puzzled the crosser. They habitually called a ten-franc banknote one écu!
Charlotte put this ten-franc banknote into his wallet, put the letter of introduction in the pocket of his coat, crumpled the envelope that contained it into a ball, and threw it out of the carriage casually. It landed in a trash can on a street corner with astonishing accuracy.
His Majesty Emperor Julius, the sixth emperor of the empire, was born with a cleanliness obsession. He couldn't tolerate the sewage flowing everywhere and the garbage piled up randomly in the city and promoted the municipal project regarding trash cans. It turned out that even the emperor had things he couldn't do. This municipal project wasn't completely successful and was only retained in the Val-de-Waz region.
The Val-de-Waz region is where the imperial palace, the central government office, the nine main churches of the true gods, and the four most famous universities are located.
These noble lords are also willing to enjoy a clean living environment.
As for the other regions, let it be.
