Chapter 35: Adventurers
The day before yesterday afternoon, the famous head maid posted an announcement on the bulletin board, and then the adventurers went crazy.
The powerful Duke of Black Dragon will personally lead the team to mine the gold mine, because of the lack of manpower, so the Sadwind family has summoned adventurers, and adventurers who want to dig for gold can come to the city hall to sign up, and the Sadwind family will buy the gold ore at one hundred and twenty percent of the market price.
The head maid of the Sad Wind family is very honest, so whatever she says, the adventurer believes it.
Even if there are skeptical adventurers, after they go to the city hall to see, all their worries are put down, and they are no different from other adventurers, and they all fall into madness.
The Sadwinds didn't hold the secrets of the gold mine in their hands, perhaps because they were not capable of doing so - there were always people who liked to speculate on the actions of others with malicious intentions - but they did open the gold mine!
This time, the adventurers are not stealing the mines, but the ones who are hired.
They can mine openly, and they also have a powerful dragon to serve as their bodyguard.
Although it was a black dragon, as the Duke of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, he was not enough to kill people and oversell the goods - it is said that the Duke of the Sorrowful Wind listened to the words of the head maid very much, and now everyone knows that the Sad Wind Leader is the head maid in power.
So, adventurers don't have to worry about anything going wrong, they just need to concentrate on mining.
The maximum number of people is 800, because it is necessary to lead many people through the Black Forest, even the Duke of Cervantes cannot protect everyone, and if you want to go, you need to sign a guarantee in the presence of the god of justice and the goddess of luck.
Not many people hesitated, adventurers were originally pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, many adventurers had committed crimes in other territories, just like people who came out to mingle, they had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, but it was the fact that the attached page of the guarantee also stated that if they died because of the incident, their families could still get a pension, this incident was the most surprising to them.
They were surprised and relieved and warm.
Although the pension is not much, it is also money, if it is for other people, let alone a pension, whether their families can know about their death depends on luck, waiting for half a lifetime, and when they die, they will think of their 'missing' family members, and there are many people.
There were many of the adventurers who were stealing and stealing, but when they saw the explanation that their families could still receive pensions, they couldn't help but fall silent.
It may be a little kindness to the head maid, but to them who are precarious adventurers, it is so glaring...... It's like looking at the sun that shines warmly.
Some of the staff of the city hall talked about it afterwards, and some adventurers cried on the spot, and a few vicious-looking men threatened them, telling them not to talk about it, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
Naturally, civil servants don't take their threats seriously - when the adventurers stumble to name the beneficiaries, they know that the adventurers have fully identified with the Grim Wind.
Perhaps, some of them will bring their families to move here in the future!
After seeing this guarantee, the attitude of the adventurers was polarized, and they either accepted it calmly or chose to leave.
They do this to protect their families, or to protect themselves, and legend has long been that in this magical southern Black Forest, some people have made a fortune, but many more have no place to die.
Although the Duke of Black Dragon led the team, he couldn't guarantee the safety of everyone's lives, and there were indeed many terrifying legends about the Black Forest, so some people turned around and left after seeing the guarantee.
One sunny morning, the adventurers began to line up again in front of the town hall, which was told to them by the civil servants of the town hall the afternoon before yesterday and yesterday morning when they had signed up.
“...... Yes, Mr. Crowle, when you die in the unfortunate event of death, we will send your pension to your wife, together with your savings. By the way, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Crowle, a middle-aged adventurer, sat quietly across from the civil servant questioning him, his stout body like a hill and a long scar on his face.
It was a fierce-looking man, but Will, a civil servant, knew very well that Mr. Claure was a very gentle man, and always had a smile on his lips when talking about his wife and daughter at home, rather than as indifferent as he did now—though at first, Will was afraid that he would beat himself up for asking some sensitive question.
said it was with some words, but it was actually a suicide note.
Both Will and Crow knew that the reason why they came here to make another confirmation was actually to leave a suicide note.
Mr. Claure snorted a few words, and at last seemed to have made up his mind, and covered his face with his hands, and said angrily, "Please help me tell Jennifer if I die...... Let her find a man who is willing to take care of Xiao Weiya and live a good life......"
The smile on Will's face gradually faded, and in silence, he used a pen to record the middle-aged adventurer's 'last words', and finally asked in a soft voice, "Is this okay?"
Mr. Claure wasn't literate, so when Will asked the question, he nodded, "So be it." ”
Then he got up, and the man, who was as strong as a giant bear standing up, hung his head slightly, pushed the door open, and left the place, and the next waiting adventurer came over......
When the sun was setting and the final work was finally done, Will breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little stuffy in his chest.
Putting down the pen, Will clutched his chest and looked at his colleagues who were also silent, and suddenly felt that after the end of the day, he had grown a lot compared to his self yesterday.
He was the third son of a knightly family, and he was not able to inherit anything compared to the two brothers who were able to inherit the armor and banner, and his father felt guilty about him, so he proposed that he try to become a scholar, and he was lucky enough to be chosen when the head maid was selecting officials and civil servants.
Only at noon ate a meal, which at that time gobbled up, did not taste anything, except for going to the toilet, they sat here and worked all day.
I listened to the words for a day, wrote for a day, and, of course, met people for a day.
Some are open-minded, some are silent, some are forced to laugh, and some even cry on the spot.
These civil servants sat in this office called the 'street office' and received more than 700 adventurers, and not everyone could figure it out, so they also needed to persuade and enlighten the adventurers - which made them feel that they were not civil servants, but priests in the temple.
At the end of the day's work, they even felt so strange that the thirty-two letters were so unfamiliar, and so were the words and sentences made up of those thirty-two letters, that although they could read what they meant, it was as if they were about to lose sight of what the word was.
Will tidied up his things and walked out into the streets, only to see some adventurers lingering outside—those who didn't leave a last word today.
"Hey, Will, would you like to go have a drink together?"
With Mr. Hiram Hamson pretending to hook his neck, Will blinked, looked at his clothes, and then at the adventurers......
Will gritted his teeth, unbuttoned his cuffs and neckline, and said, "Let's go, I know there's a new tavern in the new town, where the wine is cheap and the meat is good!
Hiram was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, let go of the arm around Will's neck, patted the weak young man's back hard, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, young man, you should drink more!
"Ahem......" Will staggered two steps, a happy smile on his face.
Starlight didn't shine in the direction of the confused adventurers, so they still chose to get themselves drunk today, so that they didn't have to worry about so many worries.
