Chapter 486: Employment
Compared to three months ago, a lot of things are completely different.
Rorschach, who had just arrived in the country of mages at that time, was dressed like a beggar, and it was no wonder that he was not welcomed in all kinds of ways, and it was extremely difficult to even get the certification of a fifth-level spellcaster.
And now Rorschach, no one would doubt his identity as an archmage.
The pale white robes were inlaid with blue and red gemstones, the dragon skin riding boots shone with the silver brilliance of acceleration and light spirituality, and the short sword on his waist was faintly flamed, it was a fairly high-level magic sword.
The two emblems on the chest are the symbols of the archmage, the bracelet on the right hand is permeated with the power of life, and the big book pinned to the chain around the waist is the most valuable in the whole body without the slightest magic fluctuation.
Aside from his constant size, Rorschach already has the posture of an archmage....... Perhaps, the alternative appearance of a child-faced teenager is divided into the image of those ageless spell monsters in the eyes of the world.
In fact, Rorschach has been trying to solve his own problem of size, and this time, he is really in a hurry.
He got a message from the archmage, if nothing else, when he stepped into the seventh order and stepped into immortality, he was afraid that his appearance would be completely finalized.
A child-faced teenager for a lifetime sounds very good, suitable and suitable for the entertainment industry, but it is very uncomfortable to really fall on yourself.
Rorschach was fed up with explaining to bars, hotels, government departments, customs, etc., that he was an adult, and he didn't want to go out with Isabella anymore as a little brother who was taken out by his sister.
But I'm afraid that judging from the current development route, this nightmare is still not over.
“..... Little brother, this is not the place for you...... I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Archmage. ”
Looking at the security personnel in front of him who hurriedly apologized, what could Rorschach say.
He's been working hard to get dressed and bring magic items, but sometimes the first impression of his young appearance is really terrible.
And what gave Rorschach the most headache was that he got the news from Rosa, and it was very likely that he would come to an even more fatal conclusion - he had no possibility of becoming an adult in his life.
The essence of wood spirits is plant life, and the top wood spirits are the collection of plants, forests, communities, and their cute appearance is more like a humanoid page for foreign communication, and they naturally do not need to grow.
And ordinary wood spirit half-breeds still have the possibility of growing up (because the number is too small, Rorschach has never seen a half-blood wood spirit in his life), and an unlucky person like Rorschach who has awakened with a high concentration of wood spirit bloodline may also encounter the doom of a lifetime of youth.
If he crosses immortality, then this "very likely" will have a high chance of becoming "certain".
If the others can still be endured, there are some things that really can't be endured, after all, even the half-blood wood spirit really can't accept the use of pollination and grafting to obtain offspring.
But unfortunately, even he asked Rosa and the others for help in this regard, but the other party still couldn't give an answer........ The Wood Spirits have no experience in this area either.
Generally speaking, most of the so-called half-blood wood spirits are actually half-blood humans, although they are mixed-blood, they cannot inherit the essence of wood spirits, like Rorschach, who chose the natural path to further explore their own wood spirit bloodline........ It should be said that this was Rorschach's own death.
Well, these unsolvable questions can only be thrown to the back of the mind.
The most important thing now is the future.
“....... So, what do you think of my offer? Honestly, it should be a pretty good deal. ”
This is Hanan's Mama Bar, a 30-year-old club and bar with a membership system.
Judging from the fact that most of the customers around are wearing murder weapons, this is really not a place that can be entered casually, the most obvious thing is that ordinary clubs will not be crazy about setting up shooting ranges in the hall, and there are people who are practicing flying knives and shooting.
In fact, it's a folk club, a veterans' club.
Rorschach, who finally endured it from the vision of "you are kidding me" and "what are you doing here", is not in a good mood now.
The reason is the eldest sister on the other side.
"Isabella's letter of introduction has also been read, and your conditions are indeed very exciting, but many of us can't afford the medical bills, the daily maintenance costs are very high, and we have our own concerns......"
Blood-red hair, orange-red snake pupils, melon seeds have knife marks on their faces, weathered but still full of firm faces, if it weren't for the mutilated right arm from the shoulder and the broken facial wound, as well as the crutches next to the chair, she is really a very attractive big sister.
Bonnie "The Blade" Stanford, the former captain of the Ace Marine Corps Deadly Blade and an ace, half-elf, and one of the officers of the Veterans Club.
But unlike the woman who was called a knife back then, now she is full of fatigue and hesitation, and she is always described with an embarrassing sneer, but she squeezes out a little flattering smile.
This is not the first time that someone has invited these old guys to come out of the mountain again, but since everyone has retired, they obviously have their own reasons, and a crippled body like themselves is not the worst, and if they are really hired out of the mountain, I am afraid they may not be able to survive until the day of retirement.
And if you refuse....... Bonnie herself had already rejected four or five times, but the more she refused, the more Bonnie regretted it.
It's not that she has the heart of a warrior and longs to return to honor, but a more realistic reason.
“....... I personally think the reward you give is okay, and Isabella's old man's character is also trustworthy (Rorschach frowned), but our extra expenses are too high, for example, if I want to go to war, I have to get a set of prosthetics of good quality or above, can you add more ......"
When veterans retire, they can often get a lot of money, but they really don't save one in ten when they really turn it into a pension and a stable and profitable investment.
They are accustomed to drinking today and getting drunk today, and they often squander all their pensions in two or three years, and then borrow money to gradually cut off their connections, and become violent fathers in the mouths of their children and crazy elements in the eyes of neighbors.
Even if you have a little brain thinking about the future, you can invest and operate....... How many big-headed soldiers enter the "battlefield" that they don't know at all, and they can still make money, instead of losing all their money and being deceived.
It's true that Bonnie is an ace, and it's not wrong that she used to have a lot of connections and brothers, but it doesn't mean that she can mix well after losing an arm and a foot.
You must know that this is a magical world, and the treatment technology has even reached the level of cloning and ecological regeneration of scientific and technological civilization.
The curse of the evil god, the complete collapse of the physical body, and the wounds created in a special way can still cause permanent damage.
She seems to be in good spirits now, but she knows in her own heart that what is really injured is the soul, the magic core, the internal body, and the life energy, and the whole body is still broken, even if you find a priest to spend a lot of money to regenerate the limbs, it will still die in less than two months.
And if you hire yourself like this, in addition to probably being able to say a few words in your mouth, it is really better to go directly to a few recruits, at least if you can survive a few battles and become a veteran, you will not be much worse than a crippled veteran like yourself.
Speaking of bargaining words, Bonnie's face turned red, and she was embarrassed to look at the other party, she knew that the other party's price was already very favorable, and she was not worth the price at all, but there was no way, she was short of money, she had to sell her life, and she had to sell it at a good price to solve some worries.
Hearing that the other side was going to increase the price, Rorschach was stunned.
"Isabella didn't make it clear to you....... Oh, I see. ”
After determining the future development route, Rorschach's dream land will also become a real front-line fortress,
And the fortress needs soldiers, and it is best to be an elite veteran with rich combat experience and strong personal strength.
This is the land of mages, with countless magical societies and powerful warbands, and instead of returning to Thor to recruit those rookie rookies, Rorschach thinks that local recruitment should work well.
So, he asked Isabella to help him write letters to his old friends, after all, in a sense, Isabella herself is a retired veteran, and there should be many people in her circle who are in a similar situation to her.
What surprised Rorschach now was that Isabella didn't say all the terms she had promised.
But as soon as he turned around, Rorschach understood.
"This is for me to give the other party a favor and make it easier to get along later, Isabella actually looks so far away........"
So, he laughed.
"Let's put aside the issue of wages for ......"
"Then our medical expenses ......"
The other side was in a hurry instantly, and it seemed that he was really short of money.
"Don't worry, my employees have medical insurance, and I can cure your illness. ”
