Chapter 183 I took photos for His followers

The next day, September 9th, Friday, Backlund, inside the West District Philips Department Store.

"Sir, our stockings are made of pure silk, made by the best weaving craftsmen, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. Of course, if the thread breaks or becomes untied during subsequent use, we promise to replace it for you free of charge.

"I wonder how many pairs you need and what the specific sizes are?" The female waitress in a black and white dress asked very politely.

Klein's throat was a little dry. Real silk? Oh, right, there is no oil in this world, so there are no cheap chemical substitutes... It should be very expensive, right? Luo Shan was willing to buy this thing? And the size... Luo Shan didn't say it in the letter! This kind of information is usually kept confidential, right? ! We are all sisters... cough!

"Size...just a universal size, um, something that can be used by an average 20-25 year old woman. I need 5 pairs in total."

"Okay! Please wait!" The waiter moved quickly but not rashly. He packed each pair of stockings in a separate small bag, and then put them all into a delicate paper bag with the words "Backlund Philip" printed on the bag. He bowed to Klein with a smile on his face and handed it to him.
"If you have any questions about the product, please feel free to come and return, exchange or repair. I wish you a happy shopping. Each pair is 30 soli, a total of 7 pounds 10 soli. We accept cash or transfer. Of course, you can also charge it to your VIP card account first~"

Shit! Even though he was mentally prepared, Klein was still shocked by the price. He forced himself to stop his hands from shaking as he took the bag. Only then did he fully understand why stockings had to be purchased from Backlund... This was a luxury item of this era! This money was enough to buy a nice suit!
"Okay, cash. Please give me another bag. I need to give them to different members of the opposite sex." Klein handed over a 1-pound note, his face flushed. He felt ashamed at the blatant remarks of a scumbag.

"Okay~ Your charm and generosity are impressive~" The female waitress's smile was not affected at all. After complimenting her, she quickly completed the change and packaging. "Once again, I wish you a happy shopping~"

Happy, happy, I'm very happy... Klein nodded politely and quickly left the women's clothing store. What made him feel a little relieved was that he was not the only one who entered the store to buy stockings. After seeing him buy, another middle-aged man also picked up a few pairs. The man also gave him a tacit smile... Uh, who is tacitly understanding with you? I don't understand... Did he put this thing on his head and go to the bank to withdraw money?

Klein carried two light bags and walked steadily towards the mechanical area. Every waiter he met on the way would stop and bow to him. This made him feel emotional. It was indeed the most upscale department store in the Kingdom of Loen, which was said to be open only to nobles and wealthy people with memberships. It was really sophisticated. He could only consume here with the VIP card given by Old Blue.

Not long after, Klein saw a familiar old and tall figure in the mechanical area, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was a little stage frightened and not used to such occasions.

He walked over to the old man and saw Old Blue fiddling with a camera that was two-thirds the size of his head. The waiter in a red vest beside him introduced:

"This is the latest model of portable camera from Axon. Look at its casing. It is made of a lightweight yet tough alloy and painted in deep black, which will protect you from possible sunlight reflections...

"Its flash has been improved, and the flash when taking pictures has been reduced to a certain level, which will not make the people being photographed feel uncomfortable. Similarly, the noise it produces when taking pictures is not too loud.

"At the same time, we will give you 5 rolls of film as a gift..."

Huh? This is the most advanced camera? Klein complained in his heart. He had already gotten used to the convenient and fast digital products on Earth. Now he was asked to change the film... Uh, I think I saw film when I was a kid? But they quickly disappeared from his sight.

Old Blue smiled at Klein who was walking over, raised the most advanced camera of the era, pointed the lens at the young man, and lightly pressed the photo button. There was a sound of gears turning, as if playing a symphony unique to precision machinery. Click, the shutter sounded, followed by a not-so-strong flash, and the photo was taken.

“Not bad,” Old Bruce nodded with satisfaction. I don’t know if I had taken photos before, but I have them now, and there will probably be more in the future.

Klein put down his victory gesture that he had raised reflexively, walked over to Old Blue and said, "Let me see it too! Uh..." After taking the camera, he realized that this old-fashioned camera couldn't preview photos at all... He could only see the photography effect after the photos were developed later. He smiled awkwardly, then suddenly had an idea. He hung the shopping bag on his left arm, picked up the camera and pointed it at Old Blue.

"Please look at the camera. I'll take a picture of you, too."

“Okay, I have no objection.” Old Blue imitated Klein’s previous pose and made a scissor hand gesture, smiling. What an honor! I personally take pictures of believers! Click, the flash came on, and a photo of an old man with a very happy grin was formed.

The waiter in the red vest immediately stepped forward and said:

"Dear guest, we provide free washing service in our store. We have the most professional washers who can complete this work within 20 minutes. If you are in a hurry, we can also deliver it to your residence later."

"Okay, please help us develop it. I want this camera too. Buy another one of the same model." Old Blue took out his wallet and prepared to pay, but at this moment, a woman's voice came from behind them, interrupting the payment process.

"Please wait a moment, sir." A young woman in black and white servant clothes came over in small steps, attracted the attention of the two people, and bowed politely:
"I'm sorry, but my master won't allow any photos to be released to the outside world for the time being. Could you please give me the negatives of the photos you just took? I will give you satisfactory compensation.

"Also, I serve the Earl Hall family."

The Hall family...

The sharp-eyed old Blue immediately spotted the noble girl surrounded by people in the distance, and the golden retriever led by a servant... He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a coincidence, Miss Zhengyi also came to the department store, but it was a pity that Ah Fu was at home and couldn't walk the dog together...

Cameras of this era probably can't take photos from such a distance... Did the flash of light just now alarm her maid? Did she destroy the film just in case? Interesting...

The Earl's House...

Klein was a little surprised, but he immediately figured out what was going on. Was he suspecting that we were reporters? Was he suspecting that we were taking photos to create news?
There are indeed many people on earth who don't like to be in other people's cameras and will ask them to delete photos in which they appear. This is a very reasonable request.

Klein nodded and prepared to take out the film from his camera. As for the previous photos, he could just take them again with Old Blue later.

The male waiter in the red vest breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't afford to offend any of the customers who came here, especially since one of them was Backlund's powerful "Hall Family"... It would be best if these two gentlemen could take a step back.

"No." Old Blue said calmly: "I don't want to embarrass you, but no."
