"Chapter 49: Recruitment"
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm too serious, this matter is over!" Luiga said with a smile at the young man.
"Little brother is refreshing!" After speaking, the young man picked up the book on the table and said to Luica: "Why did the little brother buy this Noxian annotation, I can't hide it, this book was translated by one of my elders and gave it to me, and I have been with it for several years, and I accidentally put it on the bookshelf when I was cleaning it up last time, and this is not for sale." The young man said helplessly to Luica.
Hearing the young man's words, Luica was a little disappointed, he was really interested in the book, but everyone else had said this, and it would be a little inconspicuous to force it again, so he said to the young man: "In that case, then I will not take the love of others, and I will stop buying the book and take my leave!" After saying that, Luiga turned and prepared to walk towards the outside of the bookstore.
"Little brother stay!" the young man called out to Luiga.
Luiga turned around, looked at the young man with some confusion, and said, "What, is my friend going to sell me this book again?"
After listening to Luica's words, the young man shook his head with a smile and said, "I said before that this book was given by the elders and cannot be sold. Just as Luica was about to ask the young man why he had stopped him, the young man spoke again, "Although this book cannot be sold to you, it is no problem to borrow it from you for a while!"
Hearing this, Luica was even more puzzled, looked at the young man and asked, "Why is my friend so kind, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the book?"
"Haha, little brother, don't be joking, although I don't have other strengths, but I really look at people very accurately, little brother is not an ordinary person, naturally I won't covet this book, this book is very important to me, but it may not be a treasure for others, just make a good fate, when will the little brother finish reading it and then I won't be late." The young man smiled at Luiga.
Luica was very pleased to hear that the young man was willing to lend him the book, with his ability to remember it now, it would not take long to read the book, and then return the book to the young man to get the best of both worlds, Luiga now appreciates this young man a little, not only that he is willing to lend the book to himself, Luica feels a very good personality charm in him, Luiga is sure that this young man is worth befriending.
"In that case, thank you over there, my name is Luffy, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" Luica saluted the young man and asked, he didn't say his real name, but used Luffy's name, it's not that he doesn't trust this young man, it's just that Luica has made up his mind to use Luffy's name to break through Pallas, on the one hand, he can hide his true identity, you must know that he will enter the iron wall in the future, many things are involuntarily, he doesn't want to work hard for others in the future.
"Hello Luffy, my name is Kai Yin, you can take this book and read it first, but it's best to return it to me within a month, and I may leave Pallas in a month. Kaiyin smiled at Luica, and after speaking, he handed the book to Luiga, Luiga took the book and said bluntly: "Brother Kaiyin, don't worry, I will return the book within a month!"
Kai Yin smiled and nodded, "That's very good, then okay, you can just come to the bookstore to find me when the time comes, if you are not in the bookstore when you come, you can leave the book at the grocery store owner next door, I know him very well." β
"Okay, then I'll say goodbye first, I have something to do today in a hurry, and the next time I come to return the book, I'll definitely invite Brother Cain to have a drink!" Luica said to Cain with a smile.
"Haha, it's easy to say, life is a good wine in the world is not to be disappointed, then I'll wait for Brother Luffy to invite me to drink, you are a friend and I Kai Yin has befriended!" Kai Yin smiled at Luica, and it could be seen that his tone was very sincere.
The two exchanged pleasantries, Luica walked out of the bookstore with the book, Cain looked at Luica's departing figure, and when Luiga walked out of the bookstore, he smiled softly and muttered: " I didn't expect that there would be such a genius in such a broken place as Pallas, it looks like he is only about fifteen years old, and his mental power has actually transformed into mental power, and the younger generation of Ionia can transform his mental power into mental power before breaking through the rune master, it should be only a handful of them, my Luffy brother seems to be very simple, interesting and interesting, I didn't expect to come to Pallas to meet such a character, and it is not a ...... in vain"
After leaving the bookstore, Luica didn't plan to continue shopping, he was going back, this time he accidentally got a book to learn the Noxian language, reading the book as soon as possible is the most important thing at present, after all, the book was lent to him by others, although Cain said to lend him a month, but he still wanted to return it to him as soon as possible, for Cain, he still really wanted to make friends with him.
Luiga walked fast. After a while, he was about to leave the main city, and at that moment, he faintly heard someone behind him shouting "Sir" , Listening to the voice is a little familiar, but Luica can't remember whose voice it is for a while, so he just thinks he is wrong, and continues to walk forward, but when he walked a few steps, a figure suddenly ran over and rushed to him, Luiga was startled, and looked carefully at the person standing in front of him, Luiga finally remembered, isn't this person the bandit who was fed a grain of mud by him at that time, what is his name? Oh, by the way, it's called Hagli, Luiga remembers that she told him to come to Pallas to wait for her, but lately there have been so many things that I have forgotten about it, and Luiga feels a little embarrassed to think about it.
Looking at Hagli standing in front of Luica, he looked a little embarrassed at this time, dirty, like a beggar, looking at Luica's eyes, full of excitement, Luiga saw his embarrassed appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Well, Hagli, when did you get to Pallas, why did you mess up so badly?" asked Luiga.
Hearing Luiga's question, Hagli's eyes were full of grievances, and Luiga's scalp was a little numb and uncomfortable.
"My lord, I came to Pallas a month ago, you know, I didn't mix very well in the Pine bandits, and I didn't have any savings, it was not easy for me to get to Pallas, after I came here, all the money on my body was spent, I was really desperate, so I thought about coming out to beg and insisted on coming over, I was begging on the road today, I just saw you, my lord, I hurriedly ran over!" Hagree said to Louis Card with some crying, it can be seen that he is really miserable these days.
Luica looked at Hagli and asked in some surprise, "Didn't I give you so many gold coins before?
Hearing Luigka's words, Hagree was even more aggrieved, and cried: "My lord, how dare I use your gold coins, you are my master, even if I starve to death, I don't dare to use your gold coins privately, I have exchanged those gold coins for golden tickets, a total of 110,000 golden tickets." With that, Haglie took out a stack of golden tickets from his bosom and handed it to Louis Card.
Luiga took the golden ticket, looked at Hagli with some surprise, it was completely unintentional to call Hagli to Pallas before, he was reluctant to give up those gold coins, he didn't expect this Hegli to be so loyal, a person who was about to starve to death could not bear not to use these gold coins, in fact, he didn't know how many gold coins there were at that time, even if this Hegli took some by himself, no one knew, but he didn't do it, thinking of this, Luiga felt that this Hegli was worth cultivating, so he said directly to Hegli: " You are doing very well, don't worry, I will give you the antidote to the leopard fetus pill later, I have a station in Pallas, you come with me, and follow me in the future. β
Hegli was overjoyed when he heard Luiga's words, and said that he was going to kneel down for Luiga, there were so many people on the street, Luiga naturally didn't want him to do this, and people who didn't know thought he was bullying beggars, Luiga gave Hegli a gold coin and asked him to buy some food and clothes, and then the two walked towards the pestilence area together.
When Luiga returned, Xia Zuo had already returned, and when he saw Luica coming in, Xia Zuo hurriedly greeted him.
"Young master, the medicinal materials you explained have all been bought, and now they will be placed in the warehouse. Shazo said to Luiga.
Luiga nodded, pointed to Hagli behind him and said, "This is Hegli, one of my previous subordinates, and now he is also a member of our Straw Hat Thieves Group, and we will do things together in the future!"
Hearing Luica's introduction, Xia Zuo smiled at Hagli and said, "Hello Brother Hegli, welcome to join." β
Hegli has never been very confident, plus these two months have been spent in fear, the little heart has not completely calmed down yet, seeing that Xia Zuo is so polite to him, he hurriedly thanked Xia Zuo, and the two of them knew each other.
"Hasn't Mulin come back yet?" Luica asked, looking at Xia Zuo.
"Not yet, my sister used to help people treat people here for free, many people here are very grateful to her, this time I heard that she is going to recruit people, a lot of people came, and now she is being selected in an open space, it is estimated that fifty people can be selected later." β
Luica nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Xia Zuo: "It's nothing to do for the time being, you and Hagli should go and help Mu Lin, after recruiting 50 people, you bring people over, and after you settle down, you come and call me." β
"Okay young master, then I'll go and help my sister recruit people first, and then I'll settle everything and report back to you. After saying that, Xia Zuo took Hagli out.
After the two left, Luica also returned to his room, after returning to the room, Luica directly took out the book he borrowed from Cain and read it, the content of the book is very detailed, not only each word is annotated with Ionian words, but also marked how to pronounce it, Luica quickly flipped the book, almost ten lines at a glance, as long as he saw the content, it was the same as engraved in his mind, just when Luiga saw half of it, suddenly heard someone knock on the door, Luiga then put down the book, looked at the sky outside, it was almost dark, Luiga looked too engrossed, time passed at onceγ
walked forward and opened the door, it was Xia Zuo standing at the door, and when he saw Luiga coming out, Xia Zuo said: "Young master, the 50 people recruited have all been settled, what instructions do you have next?"
Luiga nodded and said, "Very good, you let them all gather in the courtyard, and I'll come over later." β
After saying that, Xia Zuo left, he went to gather the newcomers who had just been recruited, and Luica also prepared a little, after all, he is now the leader of a thief group, and these people will be mixed with him in the future, Luica naturally made a speech.
Soon Xia Zuo gathered all these people, and Luica walked into the courtyard at this time, and there were already 50 people standing in the courtyard at this time, but fortunately, the courtyard of Mivega was large enough, and these people did not look crowded standing here.
Xia Zuo stood in front of this group of people, Mullin and Hagli stood aside, Mullin saw Luiga coming over, the little girl immediately smiled at Luica, Luica also smiled and nodded at her, the meaning in her eyes was "Good job!" Presumably she understood Luiga's meaning, the little girl's face suddenly became red, she now regarded Luiga as an idol, and she was extremely excited to get his affirmation.
Luica looked at the people in the courtyard, most of them were young people in their twenties, they were all dressed in tatters, and all of them did not look very good-looking, and they knew at a glance that they were malnourished, and the reason why Luica was so sure was because he had been like this before.
These people were all a little surprised when they saw Luiga coming over, and then Xia Zuo on the side spoke, and he said to these people: "This is Young Master Luffy, the leader of the Straw Hat Thieves Group, you passed the selection today to join the Straw Hat Thieves Group, and you will all have to listen to his orders in the future, understand?"
After Xia Zuo's words came out, none of these people responded, and their eyes were a little confused, when they recruited people today, Mu Lin told them, "There is a rune master powerhouse who plans to create a force in the plague area." "But now that Luiga is only a teenager, these people feel that they have been tricked, and if it weren't for Mu Lin's reputation in the Plaguestone District, I'm afraid someone would have come out to question it.
Luica didn't get angry when she saw the questioning eyes of these people, and said to these people with a smile: "Hello, my name is Luffy, the leader of the Straw Hat Thieves Group. β
Luica's words came out, there was still a quiet below, Luiga was not embarrassed about this, he knew very well what these people were thinking, Luica smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and said to the 50 people:" I can see that you all seem to be questioning me, all questioning the Straw Hat Thieves, I don't know what Mu Lin said to you when she recruited people before, now you can forget all those words, if you regret it now, you can stand up and leave here, I'm sorry for delaying your time, so the person who chooses to leave now, I will compensate him with a gold coin, but the person who left here today, then I'm sorry, don't think about entering the Straw Hat Thieves in the future, if you choose to continue to stay, don't hold the idea of coming over to mix gold rewards, join the Straw Hat Thieves then your life is mine, even if I let you dieIf anyone dares to question or disobey my orders, there is only one end, and that is death!
After speaking, Luica didn't speak anymore, and looked at these people coldly, the people he wanted to recruit not only had enough willpower, but also had to have brains, the reason why Luica said so heavily was to stimulate these people, these people were all people who were exterminated by bandits, it can be said that they were lost dogs, and they had almost nothing but a life, if a person had nothing left and had no determination to break the boat, then such a person was no different from a dead person, and such a person Luica would not waste resources in vainγ
After Luiga's words were finished, the expressions of these people in the courtyard were different, Luica stared at these people's expressions coldly, there were struggles, there was helplessness, after two minutes, no one stood up, at this time Luica spoke again, "What? Do you need to be so entangled? If you don't want to stay, you can leave, everyone has only one life, if you enter the Straw Hat Thieves Group, then your life will not be up to you, you may die at any time, so ah, those who want to leave can come out now, no one will laugh at you." β
Luica's words tempted the tangled hearts of these people like the voice of the devil, and finally one of the young men stood up, he looked at Luica and asked weakly, "Can you really get a gold coin if you leave now?"
"Of course, if you leave now, I'll give you a gold coin right away. After saying that, Luiga took out a gold coin from his bosom and smiled at the humane.
Hearing Luica's answer, the man walked out and said, "I choose to leave!"
"Very well, you have made a very wise choice!" After saying that, Luiga handed the gold coin to the man, signaling that he could leave, and the man had a very unreal feeling after getting the gold coin, he did not expect that he would get a gold coin so easily, and ran out without looking back with the gold coin.
Luica looked at his fleeing back and smiled, and then said to the remaining 49 people: "See, I will do what I say, I will unconditionally compensate one gold coin for those who leave now, and there is one minute, those who want to leave will be as soon as possible, and after one minute, your life will not belong to you!"
As if under the influence of the person who left just now, seven more people came out at once and said they wanted to leave, and Luiga didn't say anything about these people's choices, and smiled and gave each of these people a gold coin, after these people got the gold coins, they were all overjoyed, and they ran outside one by one with the gold coins, for fear that Luiga would suddenly regret it.
