"I mean that's what you think!" Tang Dou grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth: "In addition to hunting demon beasts, hunters like you sometimes also undertake hiring tasks such as the Chamber of Commerce. In other words, sometimes you also make a cameo appearance as a mercenary once in a while. Then the problem is solved! ”

"My workshop is actually a commercial force, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a chamber of commerce. So what do you think of me now, in the name of the president of the Workshop Chamber of Commerce, I have hired your Sword Hunters to be the escort of my Workshop? ”

Seven pairs of eyes looked at Tang Dou dumbfounded, even if Iliya had already guessed what Tang Dou was going to say, but when the latter said it, she still couldn't believe it.

Joining a faction and being hired by a faction are two different concepts entirely.

Not to mention the other three continents, in the Fog Hidden Continent, becoming a member of a force is not all good things for him. Although he can be sheltered and has a certain amount of cultivation resource subsidies, he has also lost his freedom correspondingly, and he will have to be branded as this force from now on.

Joining a force, from now on, all actions are no longer simply representing oneself, but representing the forces behind oneself, even if it is just an insignificant person in this force, at some point, it will also become a representative of a force.

It's like when another force wants to attack this force, will the other party still let you go because you are the unranked person in this force? Obviously not, and even the other party will use you as a breakthrough.

Why are people who have joined forces in the Fog Hidden Continent not allowed to leave the Fog Hidden Continent again? It is because there are two kinds of forces in the Fog Hidden Continent, one is officially recognized, that is, these in the city of Jinnu, they are all puppets secretly controlled by the mother continent of the back race, and they are also a group of exiles.

In order to better control the Fog Hidden Continent, these controlled puppets will definitely not be able to return to the mother continent, so naturally the people under their command cannot, who knows if there are any chess pieces that these puppets want to get rid of control and lay in there?

The other is the bandits, and these people are even more unlikely to let them leave the Fog Hidden Continent.

But mercenaries who are hired are a different matter. Because of the large number of chambers of commerce, some businessmen will hire some people on a temporary basis for one reason or another. Or a group of hunters like the Freedmen as handymen, or a group of hunters like the Sword Hunters as bodyguards. It may even be a makeshift team assembled by major gangs to encircle and suppress bandits outside the city.

But in any case, the hired person does not count as an employing force. After all, if this is all counted, then those who want to leave in the Fog Hidden Continent will have no hope at all, and there will be a big mess in management.

Although everyone knows that the rules for leaving the Fog Hidden Continent are all added together, so that there is no one who wants to leave, there is always some hope.

And people are like this, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, there are always people who are willing to fight.

For example, people like Swords.

Precisely because there is a plausible hope to be left, employment becomes a loophole that is not a loophole.

Normally, employment is a short-term relationship. And most of them are when they are acting externally - for example, the people of the Chamber of Commerce want to go to some places outside the city where the homeless people gather to do business, or some young people who come to the Fog Hidden Continent pretend to be X nobles and want to gather some people to go out and have a good time. Another example is that the gangs in the city will start to exterminate the bandits.

Either way, it's all external.

Internally, that is, in the city, the employment was all concentrated on the freedmen who were ordinary people, and used them as cheap labor.

But Tang Dou now intends to hire the Sword Hunter Group in this way, which means that Tang Dou not only needs to provide shelter to the Sword Hunter Group, but also pays mercenary money, and has not yet fully controlled the rights of the Sword Hunter Group - even if these are only superficial, they are still shocking enough.

Ilia and Higus glanced at each other, and immediately made a decision: "Lord Nicholas, since this is the case, then we ......"

Before her words came out, Tang Dou continued his fragmented thoughts as if he hadn't heard what she said: "Oh, how about this employment commission, how about you think it's twice the market price?" After all, my workshop chamber of commerce is also just starting out, and there are some difficulties in funding. But our benefits are still good. All medical care, meals, and accommodation are free of charge. And all the teams hired by my Workshop Chamber of Commerce, as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, anyone who bullies you will be dealt with by my Workshop Chamber of Commerce! ”

Iliya's words were blocked back, and she originally decided to tell Tang Dou that they didn't want a hiring fee.

Twice the market price.

This means that just the seven members of the Sword Hunter Group have an income of four gold coins a month, which is really not much, but it is not low in the Fog Hidden Continent, and it is definitely a high price for a medium-level team like the Sword Hunter Group.

Not to mention the sentence that Tang Dou deliberately mentioned at the end.

The guarantee of a platinum powerhouse, the protection of a platinum powerhouse.

How much does this amount weigh? At least even the muscle-minded guy with Monks, who would not offend a platinum powerhouse for someone like the Sword Hunters.

In addition, accommodation is free and medical care is free. Ilia calculated in her heart, it only took a year, and with their own savings, they would be able to scrape together enough money for the ferry ticket to leave the Fog Hidden Continent.

It was a great temptation, so great that the words "we don't want to be paid" that Ilia Ben came to his lips were swallowed.

People who are struggling to survive in the Fog Hidden Continent don't need to fake Qinggao, because those who are fake Qinggao all die early.

"Generous Lord Nicholas, we can't refuse your offer at all!" Ilia still had one last bit of vigilance in her heart. In the Fog Hidden Continent, pies never fall from the sky, and even if there is, it is often poisonous, and for Tang Dou to be so generous, Iliya has to guard against it.

"It may offend your majesty, but I wonder why?"

Looking at the woman in front of him who had the blood of the Hao clan, but strangely had long silver-white hair and blood-red eyes, Tang Dou chuckled: "If I say that it is just out of my kindness, I think you should not believe it, let alone believe it." So let me put it another way! ”

Tang Dou clapped his hands: "My purpose is very simple, I need the Workshop Chamber of Commerce to become a special force in this Kinunu City, a force that is not a force, and a Chamber of Commerce that is not a Chamber of Commerce." One of the most special beings. Of course, it doesn't have much to do with you. You just need to know that I need to gather people, a lot of people. ”

"But I don't want those who have problems, as you can see, our workshop is quite strict in recruiting people, and the strictness is not in the ability, but in the heart. You can think I'm naïve, or you can think I'm obsessive-compulsive. In short, I don't want to call those who are called villains! Although in this damn place, no one can be called kind! ”

Iliya chewed on the meaning of Tang Dou's words, as smart as her, and already understood a little.

Seeing the look on Iliya's face, Tang Dou nodded with satisfaction: "Ms. Iliya, you are a very smart person. I love talking to smart people. Now you should understand why I'm so good to your sword mercenary group, right? ”

Ilia hesitated, as if considering the words: "I understand! Do adults want us to be role models? ”

"That's right, a thousand dollars buy horse bones. You are the bones. With your example, those who share the same pursuits and experiences as you will begin to slowly accept our Workshop Chamber of Commerce, and eventually become the power in my hands. Tang Dou spread out his palms: "And with these powers, I can achieve my goal!" You see, it's that simple! ”

The seven members of the Sword Hunter Regiment looked at each other, they all instinctively felt that Tang Dou's words were not thorough, but they were deeply touched. Although Tang Dou was indeed using them, it did no harm to them.

"I think I get it!" Ilia nodded, "So, is there anything else we can do?" ”

Tang Dou smiled dumbly: "Think, think seriously." If you're smart, you'll know it, won't you? ”

The Sword Hunters joined the workshop as a mercenary, which was regarded as the first real armed force owned by the workshop, and Tang Dou laid the first step of his ambition for this.

"Ilia, what did Lord Nicholas mean in the end?" When he was taken into the camp by Manda, Hagers couldn't help but ask his wife.

"yes, I don't understand!" Among the Seven Swordsmen, it seems that only Ilia understands.

Or Ilia's cousin, the half-elf kid named Kuchu, the third silver player in the team, also understands a little, but is not as comprehensive as Ilia.

Ilia sighed lightly: "Lord Nicholas not only needs us to be role models, but also wants us to take the initiative to help him find and select people!" ”

"Huh?"

"It's very simple, I don't think I understand Lord Nicholas's future actions, but it is conceivable that when Martha's storm stops, that is, when he leaves, he will not be able to keep guarding the Fog Hidden Continent, even if the workshop becomes a part of his inheritance, he will not be guarding here. A Fog Hidden Continent is not the destination of a free platinum powerhouse. ”

"That way, Master Nicholas doesn't have much time, he doesn't have that much time to plan things slowly. We, as the first hirers he recruited, were not only a role model, but also a screener. If we really want to repay the kindness of the adults and leave this place after this Martha's storm is over! ”

"I still don't get it!" Hagers scratched at his messy hair: "It is natural to repay Lord Nicholas, our sword bearer has inherited such a great kindness from his lord, if he does not repay the favor, how can he still have the face to live." But what do we sift ...... What does it matter to the screener? What the hell is that? ”

Kuqiu slapped his thigh and sneered: "Brother-in-law, why don't you understand?" My cousin said it all so clearly. Lord Nicholas is asking us to find the hunters, adventurers, and those who have reached the standard of adults to join the workshop! ”

"Standards? What standard? "Heggs's mind hasn't turned yet.

Couchu stroked his forehead with his hand: "My dear brother-in-law. I'm really convinced. Didn't you hear what Mistress Nicholas said before? He needed someone who could be called 'kind'. Although there is nothing 'good' in this damn place, but the adults have said that we are role models, so it is easy to understand. We need to find people like us! ”

"Yes, a small group that lives simply by hunting, a 'simple guy' who has not given up the desire to leave the Fog Hidden Continent, and those 'fools' who are willing to be trapped in it for the sake of a group of homeless people" Ilia showed a dazzling smile at this time: "I kind of understand the meaning of Lord Nicholas's words!" ”

"Adults say he's a little naïve, but it's that 'naivety' that makes him lend a helping hand to us. It is precisely because of this 'naivety' that the adults have entrusted us with important tasks. Hagers, we're going to have to be busy for the next while! “

"You say, I'll do it!" Hagus patted his chest as usual. He is not good at thinking, so the things that use his brain are always left to his wife.

"Kuqiu, you will go to Yabu and them tomorrow, and they will definitely meet the requirements of the adults. Well, if this matter is reported to the people, it may be necessary for him to send a few people to help, at least some carriages and the like, otherwise Yabu and their people will not be able to move all the people here! ”

"Okay, we've got it!" Cuchu nodded along with the member named Yamato.

"Well, I'll talk to Director Manda about this in a moment. Since you have said that everything is in charge of the Manda director, we can't bother Lord Nicholas about everything! ”

"Higers, if you and I go into the city tomorrow, those old friends of ours will definitely be quite interested in the solicitation of adults!"

"Good!"

Ilia quickly made a series of arrangements, a smart and capable woman who knew when and what was best for her.

Soon Tang Dou received Manda's report, and after reading it, he smiled: "Very good, let Lin Xiao's girl follow them to pick up those homeless people." This Ilia, not bad, quite good. She really understood what I meant! In addition, Manda, go and inform Mr. Minnan that the Sword Mercenary Group has been sheltered by me. Let the people on the Beastmaster's side be honest, but don't give me an excuse to call the door now! ”

"Yes, great master!" Manda saluted and bowed respectfully.

Tang Dou waited until Manda left, and then looked in the direction of the city: "Monks, I'll see how long you can endure it." A guy who only thinks muscles? If you don't have a commander behind you, then I'll have to reassess you! (To be continued.) )
