"Has this month's salary been paid?" Hood asked in astonishment.
"Well, it's almost the end of the month." Ask said.
Having just settled the mission fee with the Duke of Carinthia, he distributed this month's salary to everyone - Eleanor was taken away by her brother, so her share would be paid later.
"It's like this." Hood hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Viscount Gaoting, Eleanor's brother, was here just now."
"Oh," said Ask.
"He wanted to recruit me as a craftsman for the Weisbach family, 4 pounds a month," said Hood.
"So what's your opinion?" Ask asked.
"I promised." Hood said guiltily.
"You traitor!" Mia jumped up immediately, but Ask held her head and turned away.
"I killed you!" She turned around angrily, but Ask held her shoulders and turned her back.
"I remember that your dream, Hood, is to build your own power armor, right?" Nora asked.
"Yes." Hood nodded. "Lord Viscount Gaoting said that I can join the Weisbach family's design bureau and be responsible for improving their power armor."
"Then this job is perfect for you." Nora smiled softly, "Congratulations, Hood."
Hood suddenly felt like crying. Angel sister was so considerate!
"In that case, there's nothing we can do." Ask stood up. "It just so happens that we got the bounty, so let's have a meal together nearby."
"Dinner party? Sure, sure!" Sidlifa nodded repeatedly.
"I'll go call Eleanor." Mia quickly broke free from Ask's clutches and rushed out of the tent.
Although no one said anything, this made Hood feel even more uncomfortable - after staying in the Blue Sword for so long, he actually cherished the time he spent with everyone.
Of course, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he did not regret his choice. After all, that was his life dream.
To the northwest of the small town of Runefield is the large city of Liffelach in the Duchy of Carinthia.
After booking a private room in the best local hotel, everyone quickly found a seat and started ordering food.
"Does Hood treat us to this meal?" Mia asked maliciously. "You've changed jobs and got a high salary. Eleanor's brother gave you a high salary, right? It would be unreasonable not to treat us to a meal."
"No, no, no." Ask waved his hand and said, "As the leader, I'll treat everyone to a meal."
He just looked at the menu. The prices in this hotel are quite expensive. I'm afraid this meal will cost Hood a month's salary. Considering that everyone has just made a fortune from the mutation, it's better to use public funds to reimburse.
"No problem! It's my treat!" Hood immediately patted his chest and said, "My salary will double if I switch jobs there! So feel free to order, it's all on me."
"Hey! Your former boss is still here!" Nora said jokingly.
"In that case, my salary is indeed too low for you," Ask agreed.
"Not too low, not too low." Hood quickly poured wine for everyone and said with a smile, "If the captain hadn't brought me out, I might not have encountered such a good opportunity."
