Chapter 949: The Future of Witches
The new "Maleficent" is not a single building, but a residential area of about 7,000 square meters.
As a key new residential area, it is not only equipped with artesian water and heating, but also a four-storey frame house with mature concrete pouring technology, and its interior division is the same as that of the Witch Building.
In addition, Roland has built a two-story conference hall in the center of the community for the activities of the Sleeping Island witches.
In fact, the welcoming banquet was held here the night before the migrants arrived in Neverwinter, and half a month later, the hall was once again filled with witches.
In full view, Tilly stepped onto the podium and began to read out the recruitment order from Roland Wimbledon, as well as a new compensation system.
β...... That's how the work is arranged at the moment, and the Sleeping Charm gets 30% of the income generated by the witches. The money will be used to improve people's lives, expand the scale of the spell, and use everything else they need in the future. "At first glance, it seems that I have been exploited by my brother, after all, when we were on the Sleepy Island, all the commissions paid by the Fiordland merchants belonged to us. But in fact, the other party will also take the opportunity to put forward many additional conditions, such as buying their food and daily necessities at a high price, etc., and often have to be discounted, while there are not so many additional conditions here. β
In addition, the thirty percent given by Roland has exceeded the income of Sleeping Island in terms of numbers alone. Coupled with the fact that most of the new jobs only require mana and don't have to venture into the uncharted seas, it's much easier, and it can be concluded that I am not the one who is being exploited, and I can even be said to have taken advantage of my brother. β
The remark caused a low burst of laughter.
"But!" Tilly raised her voice suddenly, "none of this has anything to do with what I'm going to say. In the past, no matter what the reward paid by the fjord merchants, the Sleeping Charm, which lacked anything, could only be used in a coordinated manner, so in the end, it was only bread, cotton cloth, and other uniform distributions that were distributed to everyone. β
"But this time, you're going to get a tangible reward, not a series of unseen and untouchable numbers. As for how to dispose of them, it is the freedom of the individual. Now, please open the envelopes on your desks. β
Moriel had already noticed the envelope with the seal of the Grey Keep's tower, but she couldn't help but touch it, and when she heard Tilly's request, she immediately couldn't wait to tear open the seal.
"It's ...... New GWENT?" The shadow sitting next to him stretched out his head.
"You have it too, go see yourself. Moriel turned sideways, blocking the other's gaze.
"Cut. β
The envelope contained a palm-sized piece of paper, smooth to the touch, easy to bend without creases like ordinary paper.
When Moriel saw it for the first time, she fell in love with the piece of paper.
It was a work of art.
Although the size was similar to the popular GWENT card in League of the Witches, she didn't think the two were the same thing. Without it, the latter is just too exquisite. The patterns on it are not only gorgeous, but also extremely intricate, like the lines drawn from a hair. And these patterns are not only used to fill the paper, but also form a variety of patterns and words.
For example, on the front of the piece of paper is the insignia of a tall tower spear, and on the back is a mountain illuminated by the rising sun. Underneath the design are the words "Grey Keep Royal Release" and "For Witches", and the other four corners are written with three tens and one symbol of unknown meaning.
What Moriele loved the most was that if she turned the paper slowly, the patterns on the front and back would be refracted in the light and gilded, as if the lines were carved out of gold.
"Uh...... It doesn't seem to be a GWENT card," Shadow noticed the difference, "I remember the cards were all marked on the same side. β
"Is this a gift from His Majesty Roland?"
"But what Mistress Tilly said was clearly a reward. β
"Hmm...... Thyrs too?" followed the trail on the other side.
"It's the same for everyone. β
"What does this symbol mean?"
"I don't know, but I always feel like I've seen ...... somewhere"
The voices in the hall came and went, and all the witches were attracted by the ornate pieces of paper in their hands, until Tilly spoke again, and the chatter subsided slightly.
"What you have in your hands is called paper money. As the name suggests, it has the function of a coin, except that it is only given to witches and can only be used by witches. β
"What do you mean...... Is it a golden dragon made of paper?" someone asked.
"It doesn't hurt to understand it that way, but it can buy something that the golden dragon can't easily buy. Tilly nodded, "For example, this ten-dollar scroll in everyone's hand can be exchanged for a full bottle of Chaos Drink or five strawberry ice cream in the castle area." β
Molill couldn't help but swallow for a while.
She still remembers the delicacies she ate at the welcome banquet like she had never imagined in her life. Especially the latter, the round pink color, the glutinous and soft and cold taste, coupled with the sweet and charming aroma, almost brought together all the beautiful words she could imagine. Compared to ice cream, the fishy salted fish soup of the Fiordland Islands cannot be called food.
And this beautiful note can be exchanged for her unforgettable delicacy, and five copies?
Judging from the lively response at the scene, she is by no means the only one who is interested in witches.
"Of course, what you can get is not just what you eat, what you wear and use on a daily basis...... Any new item made in Neverwinter will be the first to appear in the Castle District's shop. Tilly then exclaimed, "In short, paper money is the reward for responding to recruitmentβand the amount of money each person receives varies depending on the hours worked. I have to point out that it is not necessary to make ends meet, and even if you don't work, you can live a life without food. To be precise, it is an embellishment, or a reward for enriching life. Therefore, the choice is up to you, and it is up to you to decide whether you accept the recruitment or not. β
There was surprisingly no noise in the hall, presumably knowing that their leader had something to say, and all the witches focused their attention on Tilly.
"But my sisters, it's not just about enjoyment...... Tilly's tone slowed, "remember the injustice we suffered when we awakened to witches? β
She paused and said word by word, "So this matter is still at stake for the future of all the sisters - this is the best opportunity to let more people know about us." β
