Rody used magic to cut off the excess vegetation, and turned it over carefully, but felt that these pits were similar to the shell craters in his impression—the traces on the land had long since disappeared, and the pits that can be seen now are all stone buildings On the side close to the dent, Rody could still see the texture of the stone that was deformed by high temperature and cracked after cooling, which made him feel more and more strange.
Could it be that this place was hit by the forbidden spell "Meteor Fire Rain"
Rody stood there and thought for a while, but he really didn't know where this place was once in the High Elf Kingdom. Seeing that it was still early in the day, he stepped on the Kodak and flew westward for a while, landed in the northern part of Bergen territory, and walked into a small town that was still intact—with so many newspapers, Roddy naturally wanted to Come to the targeted area to see how it works in practice.
To his surprise, just as he approached the tavern, he heard someone reading the contents of the latest newspaper aloud.
"Hot recruitment... um, you want to hear this too? Well, I'll read it—if you think you have a skill and hope to find a stable and high-paying job in Elson, then don't hesitate!"
"Tailor, leather maker, baker, blacksmith... Well, it seems to include all occupations, even theater actors..."
The young man who read the newspaper was obviously not the first day to do this job. He scanned through the recruited occupations, and then read Elson's salary package to those who qualified in the audience: "Professional blacksmith 12 yuan per month Silver coins! You can reach 30 coins after passing the promotion test! Brando, you really shouldn’t waste your abilities in this stupid place!”
Elson provides a lot of "public rice bowls", and there are vacancies for leather, blacksmiths, tailors, city patrols, etc. This is different from other cities. Professions such as tailors and blacksmiths are basically passed down from generation to generation in the Karen Kingdom. It is normal for a shop to stay in place for several generations, but in Elson, these occupations are all "state-owned enterprises" in nature, because what Luodi wants to do is large-scale production, not small workshop customization.
He found a seat at random, ordered the best food in the tavern, and continued to listen to the other party turn the page.
In order not to make the top-grade equipment too conspicuous, Rody wore a gray cloak. So he didn't attract many people's attention when he walked in. On the contrary, the new headline in the newspaper's mouth attracted the attention of everyone in the room—"Elson is currently recruiting a large number of clerks. As long as you know how to write and write, you are eligible to apply. Specific departments... Um, Magic Research Institute? Ministry of Agriculture? I have never heard of these, no, the 'newspaper office' should be the place where newspapers are written. It seems that whoever goes to Elson really has the opportunity to edit the newspapers for everyone to read. !"
The job advertisements in the newspaper are actually mainly for people in the Efta area. In this era, the transportation is not convenient. It is basically a fantasy for people from Bergen Territory to go to Elson City to apply for a job. It is estimated that the journey will take a month. . But Roddy's deliberate printing is also a strategy: he just wants everyone to have a feeling that "Elson City is a place full of wealth".
The newspaper was finished reading here, and the people around took out copper coins as a compliment—this has become a customary rule, although there are not many, it can be regarded as a token of appreciation. When everyone returned to their seats, the hotel owner at the counter joked with the young man: "Kosey, you have been educated and literate, have you ever thought about going there?"
This young man is Cavalier Cauchy who started reading the newspaper more than a week ago. At this time, he was still staring at the newspaper in his hand, and replied with some hesitation: "I really want to read it..."
As a knight, Cauchy had no intention of living on the money he earned from reading newspapers every day. But the journey to Elson was indeed far away, and my skinny horse would probably starve to death half way through—the reality was so cruel that people had no choice.
"Hey buddy, go on."
Cauchy turned his head and saw a shadow passing by in the air. After reaching out his hand to grab it nimbly, he found that it was a silver coin of good quality. The knight's eyes lit up—in the Bergen territory, this kind of fine silver coin is almost comparable to two low-quality coins mixed with nickel on the market. This is definitely the highest reward since he read the report.
Looking up, Ke Xi discovered that the man who was supporting him obviously exuded a different aura from others. He has participated in the war, so it is easy to distinguish the smell of blood on the opponent's body...
Those who can feel this way are definitely not commoners or citizens, but nobles who have fought in war.
"Boss, I invite this knight to drink a glass of wine, I want the best."
Rody greeted Cauchy to sit down, and asked with interest: "You just said you wanted to go to Elson?"
When Kexi was asked this question, he naturally seemed a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "It's just a thought. After all, I am homeless. Where is it not to be a wanderer?"
After chatting with each other for a while, Rody made up an identity and said, "I just came back from the east too. My father was killed in the war, and the territory was ruined badly. It seems that there is no way to get it from the other old thieves." Take it back, so I just walk around."
The identity he mentioned was actually the missing eldest son of a nobleman in his memory. Rody had done the task of helping to find the remains, so he was very clear about the family background of this kind of nobleman. Simply put, Cauchy confirmed that he was indeed from the eastern part of the kingdom. As a descendant of the noble family, the original doubts about his identity disappeared, and the topic of conversation became more relaxed.
"This battle was fought inexplicably, but what is even more inexplicable is that His Majesty will continue to fight. I heard that Mirno didn't gather many troops. I really don't know how many troops will be able to go to Efta in the end."
Hearing this, Rody laughed inwardly—he published newspapers and constantly used public opinion to put pressure on the nobles just for the sake of the current scene: Who would do thankless things to the nobles who have no cohesion? As long as Mirnor's final team does not exceed 4,000 people, then Rody only needs to send an elite team to make a few random raids, enough to break these idiots to pieces. As for the siege or something... Roddy has countless backhands waiting in ambush to trap him.
"Although I say that, if there is no war, there is no way to make money...Although I still have some silver coins left, if I keep going like this, I will eventually starve to death."
Roddy pretended to complain a few words, making the role of "the wandering noble descendant" more realistic.
The words in his mouth are actually the complaints of most knights or young nobles in this era-the only skill of nobles without family property is to fight on horseback. Skirmishes. Even Charles II could only turn a blind eye to this, because he couldn't control it at all.
"Actually, there is indeed a way. I don't know if you are willing or not." Kexi secretly pointed to a few guys in black robes in the corner of the tavern, and said in a low voice: "The Viper Cross is currently recruiting knights for Earl Mirno, saying If knights and nobles join, the rewards will be settled once a week, which is quite a lot.”
"Oh? Viper's Cross?"
