Neither of them spoke after that, and the carriage fell into silence until it successfully arrived at Beresford Port.

"Sir! We've arrived at Beresford Port!"

The coachman's respectful voice came from outside the carriage. Eros, who was dozing with his eyes closed, hummed lightly after hearing this.

Then he glanced at Irina.

Irina understood what Eros meant, and her body immediately turned into a shadow and sank into Eros' shadow.

Eros straightened his clothes, then got off the carriage with a natural look and came to this port which is said to be the second largest trading port in Haidaram.

The port was funded and built by the Earl of Beresford family, and was named after their family.

The port was still bustling at five o'clock in the afternoon, with most of the people coming and going being porters and horse-drawn carriages carrying goods.

Eros took a look at his clothes which seemed out of place here, thought for a moment and walked into a nearby clothing store.

After changing into a less conspicuous set of clothes, Eros walked straight into Beresford Port without hesitation.

The purpose of his coming here today was to find out the news about the Earl of Beresford.

Eros had heard of this major shareholder of the second largest shipping and shipbuilding group in Haidaram.

That is why Eros came to the port of Beresford.

Because he remembered that an interview with the Earl of Beresford in the Haidaram Daily said that the Earl spent most of the day working in the Ocean Group building in this port.

Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, it is always better to have a purpose than to search aimlessly.

As for why they didn't go to the Earl of Beresford's house to inquire, it was because the port of Beresford was closer.

Anyway, didn't the newspaper say that he spent most of the day at the port?

Eros asked someone at random where the office building of Sino-Ocean Group was, and then walked towards the office building at a leisurely pace.

But before he had gone far, he was bumped by a little boy who was walking towards him with his head down.

Eros reached out and supported the little boy, saying with a smile:

"You're not hurt, are you?"

The boy shook his head quickly and said in a panicked tone:

"I'm sorry sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Eros smiled and said, "I'm glad you're not hurt."

As he said this, he released his hand that was holding the child.

Seeing this, the little boy quickly dived into the crowd and disappeared.

In the corner of an alley in the distance, the little boy who had just bumped into Eros spread out his palms with excitement.

The next second, a bright golden color came into his eyes.

Looking at the gold coin lying quietly in his palm, the boy was so excited that he almost cheered.

This is a gold coin worth one pound. He felt that the weight was a little off when he grabbed it from the gentleman's pocket just now. Fortunately, he suppressed his inner excitement and did not show it.

Otherwise, it would be all over if you were discovered because you were too excited.

The boy picked up the gold coin in his hand and kissed the portrait of Caesar Augustine on the coin, which looked more and more handsome.

"Praise my Lord, now my sister and I won't have to go hungry for the next few months."

"I finally have enough time to find some factories willing to recruit me."

"Sure enough, as long as you don't give up hope, your life will get better and better."

"Praise the merciful Lord, all these are the seeds of hope you sowed, taking root and sprouting in the fields of our hearts, blooming into gorgeous flowers and perfuming our souls."

……

"All of this is your gift, allowing us to feel your transcendent existence in this worldly hustle and bustle, leading us to the sacred light."

The boy spoke words of praise, but there was no sense of piety in his tone.

It seemed as if the prayer of praise just now was just a perfunctory response.

After carefully keeping the gold coin, the boy muttered:

"My mother once said that if I pray sincerely to God every day, my future life will be better and better."

“But I feel like I earned all of this myself.”

……

At the same time, Eros touched his pocket with a cut, sighed, and said:

"Since you still have a younger sister to support, I won't mind you tearing my clothes."

As he spoke, a gold coin appeared between his fingers as if by magic.

He placed the gold coin on his thumb and flicked his finger. The coin flew diagonally into the sky and finally fell into a corner.

On the other side, the boy sewed the gold coins inside his clothes and walked out with brisk steps.

But just a few steps out of the alley, he started walking backwards again.

The reason is simple: the bright golden color at the corner of the alley is too eye-catching.

The boy quickly looked around and when he saw that there was no one nearby, he quickly picked up the gold coins on the ground.

Then he slapped himself, and looking at the clear fingerprints on his face, it was not difficult to guess that he had slapped himself quite hard.

"What on earth is going on? Am I dreaming?"

"Could it be that the prayer just now really worked? Mom didn't lie to me?"

The boy muttered in disbelief, then he quickly clasped his hands together and began to pray in a low voice.

But this time it seems particularly pious!

……

After putting the previous episode aside, Eros walked to the side of the office building of Sino-Ocean Group without stopping.

Just as Eros was about to sneak in through the power of shadow, Barbara's somewhat vigilant voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"Something is wrong here!"

Eros paused, fixed his eyes, and asked quickly:

"Did you find anything?"

Barbara's clear voice hummed a little dullly and said:

"The speed at which ordinary people's lives pass away here is abnormal. It's faster than in the outside world!"

Hearing this, Eros was a little surprised and said:

"Isn't this normal? Work will drain your energy, especially this kind of physical work."

Barbara shook her head, her tone still very solemn:

"In fact, since you first entered this port, I noticed that the speed at which ordinary people's lives pass away here is faster than in the outside world."

"It was just that the feeling was very mild at the time, and coupled with the reason you just gave, I thought it was normal."

“But when I got to this building, I noticed something else was wrong.”

"The vitality at the top of this building is a little too strong. It's as if all the lost vitality of ordinary people has gathered at the top of this building."

"This is definitely not a natural phenomenon. It is a ritual formation, a large ritual formation covering the entire Beresford Port."
