Chapter 7 Work

Surrounded by rows of shops, Donald walked on the right side of the street, carrying a cloth bag containing books in one hand and weighing the remaining coins in his pocket with the other.

"It's so expensive......"

It cost Donald 1 shilling to buy the book "Expelling the Evil", which is a bit outrageously expensive, and when he first learned the price, he even had a slight suspicion that the store manager was scamming.

However, after seeing the exact price on the back of the book, I have to admit that scarcity is expensive.

There was still about 15 shillings or so in the remaining money, which was given by Infinita this month, as well as the previous savings.

For ordinary people, as long as this money is saved, it can support two months of life, but in Donald's eyes, this money is absolutely not enough, he has too many things to do.

Because he had other things to do, he didn't spend much time in the bookstore, and Canne Antoine only drank half of the black tea he served.

In this limited time, he discovered the reason why the book was so expensive.

The book "Expulsion of Evil" does mention the solution to deal with demonic possession or entanglement, which is not as mysterious as imagined, and can even be said to be carried out at any time, as long as there is money......

Church Baptism!

It is mentioned that any orthodox church will provide baptism to believers, borrowing the power of the gods to banish evil beings.

This kind of ritual requires believers to pay a certain price, and according to the baptism and purification ceremony, there are different prices and requirements, and the book mentions that the Silver Moon Church, which has a parish in North Hackshire, has an internal baptismal ceremony, and the cheapest baptism ceremony is 5 gold pounds...... The most expensive can even reach nearly 100 gold pounds.

The effect is very good, it is said that as long as you undergo baptism, it is not only effective in driving out evil, even the lowest baptism, such as common colds, fevers and other minor ailments will be improved in a short time, as for the highest baptism, Donald did not dare to look down.

For Donald, who is currently an unemployed vagrant, the lowest baptism ceremony is a luxury, 3 gold pounds, and he has to stay in a state of no food or drink on the premise of receiving four months of assistance from Infinita to save up.

And it doesn't have to be useful!

Making money suddenly became the most important thing, not only to solve physical problems, but as a man with sound limbs, Donald had a grudge about accepting help from his wife, especially if her behavior was unknown.

So Donald went to the high street, keeping an eye out for signs outside the shops, he needed a job to support his personal activities while maintaining a normal life.

However, no matter what world you are in, the right job is not so easy to find.

Suitable for civilians, there are no requirements in terms of professional skills, and the salary is high, does this kind of work really exist?

The content of his predecessor's studies in college was highly specialized, which meant that after Donald graduated, there was a limit to the good jobs he could find, and the professional counterparts included some junior jobs in the church, which he would definitely not be able to do due to the loss of memory.

And those high-paying jobs that can be obtained by civilians, such as lawyers, government workers, etc., require a long period of professional knowledge, and Donald, who has no foundation, does not have so much spare time.

As for the final high-risk, high-reward for certain jobs...... It's all written in the code, don't say that Donald has no way, and even if he does, he doesn't dare.

A tavern might be a good place to be.

Compared with other jobs, this job is not very professional, you can meet people from all walks of life, you can collect a lot of information, and there should be a tip in this era, which is an extra income compared to the nearby clothing store or grocery store.

With the mindset of experimenting, Donald came to the Oak Tavern on Rutis Street, two blocks from Iris Street, which, unlike Gesang Street, was a more entertaining neighborhood with several taverns and numerous nightingale shops.

Fun Night, Beauty Inn...... Even though it's morning, there are still a few shops with their doors ajar.

The Oak Tavern is the largest of the streets, with a wooden board carved with a brown oak fruit carved from an iron shelf above the doorway.

Standing outside, you can see a few scattered customers sitting in the tavern, the waiter with his sleeves rolled up sweeping the masonry floor, sprinkling some water from time to time to keep the dust down, and behind the bar stands a tall, lanky man, with a white face, intently wiping his glass.

lowered his head and straightened his clothes, and took a photo on the window next to him, confirming that he had a good image, he was so handsome, and he was more than enough to be a tavern waiter, right?

"Mr. Grant, I'm sorry, we don't have a shortage of people now, in fact, if you come here three days in advance, I will not hesitate to sign you, you know, there are many nightingale shops near us, and the ladies in them have no resistance to young people like you, but I can't fire the new waiter, we signed a contract for half a year, whoever breaks the contract will have to pay 1 gold pound for liquidated damages, which is not a small amount. ”

Donald could only accept the reply given by the store manager, his image may be good, but it will not cost the store manager an additional 1 gold pound in liquidated damages, and the new waiter has only been on the job for three days, and he has not done any work.

The manager said it would be heart-wrenching for several nights.

"Well, it seems that my luck is not good...... Good bye. ”

You can't do it here, you have to try your luck somewhere else.

"Hey, Mr. Grant, don't you know? Our Oak Tavern is an agency, can you see the square wooden sign over there? The paper on it is a message from some people, recruitment, commission...... There are many good jobs, such as Mr. Rodive in Plum Lane, who found a job as a clerk here with a salary of 2 gold pounds a month!"

The tavern manager went out of his way to recommend his own notice board, which his wife had come up with to post her request on the notice board for a fee of 5 pence, which was much more popular than announcing it on the street outside.

Donald's footsteps turned back again, and now he didn't have any goals anyway, and it didn't take much time to see.

The area of the notice board is about one square meter, close to the wall, the height is at the position of the chest of ordinary people, and there is a strip of cloth with black letters written on it: if you don't intend to, don't touch it!

The house is leaking and needs the help of a worker with experience in repairing the roof, pay: 6p.

The cat was found, the cat was lost, and the last time it was seen was on Gesang Street, with a pure white coat and a pinch of pale golden miscellaneous hair on its forehead, salary: 5 shillings.

Barn handling, the barn in the farm needs help to carry the grain bags, manual work, adult men, salary: 1 shilling.

......

His eyes wandered over these posted notices, he couldn't repair the house, the barn was always no problem, and there were some other manual work, which could also earn some money, and the pay was not high, and manual work was considered to be something that only the lowest people would do in this era, and even if the gentlemen starved to death, they would not take off their waistcoats and roll up their sleeves to carry grain bags.

Donald didn't take this into account, after all, the education is different, labor is the most glorious, and not to mention that now is not the time to care about other people's eyes.

"Mr. Grant, have you found a job you want?"

The store manager had glue and paper in his hands, it was a new commission, and Donald took a step sideways, watched him post, and read what was on it.

"Assistant recruitment, the firm needs a certain level of education, active thinking, can classify and extract information from some criminal cases, weekly salary: 1 gold pound!"

Blinking his eyes twice, Donald repeatedly confirmed that the two words before the 1 gold pound of the remuneration were weekly wages and not monthly salaries.

"It's a good job, isn't it? ”

Noticing Donald's surprise, the store manager took the notice to the ground, and then took out a palm-sized piece of paper, which was a supplement to the content of the assistant recruitment: For those who are interested in the recruitment of assistants, there are prerequisites, and the following text is translated......

It was an ancient text, and the client said that only those who had studied it could understand the meaning of the sentences, and that was the assistant he was looking for. ”

The point of the manager's finger was a black text or symbol, and Donald's gaze was focused.

He knew that the meaning of this passage was not from the memory of the predecessor, but from another existence!

"Given by the gods, born with. ”

Softly pronouncing the meaning of the text symbols, for the first time, Donald felt that the demonic memories that tortured him were still somewhat beneficial, which became his advantage, and he could instantly know the meaning of some words that ordinary people could not understand at all.

"What did you say?" X2

The shopkeeper looked at Donald in surprise, as if he had heard the strange words from the young man's mouth, and at the same time, behind the two of them, there was a crisp voice.

The meaning of this sentence is: God-given, born with. Will I be able to take on this assignment?"

Repeating this sentence again, Donald reached out to take off the freshly glued commission, but was subconsciously stopped by the store manager.

"Mr. Grant, this is a work commission, and it requires integrity, and if you are just trying casually, I suggest that it is better not to tear off this commission. ”

The man in front of him was too young, and he was a person who needed to find a low-level job like a waiter in a tavern, and the store manager didn't think that Donald could interpret this text correctly, but he just said it casually and wanted to try, so he intervened to stop him.

He's right, that's what it means...... Exactly!"

Before Donald could explain, the voices behind the two affirmed Donald's translation, and their tones rose with a little surprise.

The commission that was just released, and he found the translator so smoothly, is today his lucky day?
