Chapter 60: Hire a Knight
The Leader is the equivalent of the Mentor in the Witcher.
Previously, Sauron moved out of Griffin purely to have someone to do well.
That big bald head is quite strong, at least a second-level high-level powerhouse, and he is also the top powerhouse in Pusu.
As a result, the benefits did not come to fruition, but he was coveted by a secret enemy, and he specially hired a killer to assassinate him.
Let Zoro feel that he has made a loss-making deal.
Now, in the face of the inquiry of the head of the Vashak family, he took out the notes in a hurry.
"This is the Magic Pattern note he told me to study."
The working woman reached out and took it and handed it to Barrett, the young person in charge.
The man reached out and touched the note, but did not turn his gaze, and nodded slightly: "It is indeed a Griffin note." ”
Zoro noticed a phenomenon where the other party didn't look at the notes at all when the working woman handed them over.
The eyes are motionless and look a bit like a blind person?
The head of the dignified Vashak family, an expert with extremely strong ability to identify antiques, turned out to be a blind man?
"Don't worry, this is the symbol of the bloodline of the Vashak family, and after awakening the bloodline, you will be blind."
As if sensing his surprised gaze, the corners of the other party's mouth curled, revealing a rather strange smile.
"Let me introduce myself again, I am the heir of the seventh lineage of the Vashak family."
After the other party's explanation, Zoro became more and more interested in the bloodline inheritance.
The Vashak family has the gift of bloodline to search for all that is lost, and to examine all unknown treasures.
Once this talent is awakened, the eyes will gradually become blind.
If you have a strong bloodline, you are destined to be blind.
They inspect antiques, and they don't need much professional knowledge at all, but feel the breath left on them.
Very special talent.
"Blindness doesn't stop me from chasing the enemy in the slightest, because I can smell the stench on them!"
This reminded Zoro of a phrase from a game in his previous life.
As a conscientious national football monk who saves lives and helps the wounded, he is never tired of playing.
Barrett explained, and then invited, "As half a student of your Griffin, you are qualified to be a mercenary knight of our Vashak family. ”
"Hire a knight?"
Zoro looked weird, he didn't expect that he could also become a knight.
When he met Joshua, the chief knight of the Sun God Church, the other party was still mocking.
"It's just an honorary title that allows you to enjoy the many benefits of our Vashak family."
Barrett seemed to understand what he was wondering about, and explained pointedly, "Actually, the Templars are not orthodox knights, everything is just a title. ”
Obviously, the other party clearly knew the essence of the temple.
Sauron would have been tempted to ask about the heels of the temples.
But with the relationship between the two sides, it is estimated that it will have to wait until later.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I want White to be the intermediary between me and you." ”
"It's nothing." Barrett didn't mind at all, but it was more like expected.
Next, the working woman stepped forward and handed him a parchment scroll with a professional smile on her face: "Your Excellency Zoro, this is the benefits that you can get and what you need to do to become a mercenary knight of the Vashak family. ”
Sauron reached out and took the parchment.
With a wide eye, there are a list of explanatory clauses, somewhat similar to the employment contract in the previous life.
To put it simply, you need to help your family members when they need it.
I usually keep free and enjoy "salary" of 100 gold coins per month.
When you need to help, you will receive additional income according to the degree of contribution.
It is worthy of "hiring" knights, which is equivalent to working for the Vashak family.
1 gold coin, the purchasing power is about equivalent to two or three hundred yuan in the previous life.
Ordinary coolies in the docklands earn up to two or three silver coins a day.
It's only about five or six gold coins a month, and there is no guarantee yet, pure hard-earned money.
Once injured, they will not be able to find a job, and they will not even be able to afford to eat the black bread that can be used to beat a stuffy stick.
But become a vashak family hired knight, 100 gold coins per month for white-collar workers.
It is equivalent to a super high income of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month in the previous life!
"Sure enough, strength is everything!"
Sauron became more and more aware of the importance of strength.
As a demon hunter, being able to successfully fuse the origin of demons and break the boundaries of the human body to become a transcendent person is in itself difficult to the point of being a fluke.
In the entire Pusu, together with the two million people within a radius of hundreds of miles, the number of demon hunters is only one or two hundred.
And most of them are concentrated in many families.
Wild witchers are few and far between.
In this way, the whole world is firmly controlled by many families, and it has been created into an unbreakable pyramid of strict classes.
Even if ordinary people are lucky enough to become demon hunters, they can only choose to join them......
"I killed a necromancer earlier and wanted to deal with something." Zoro looked at each other.
Cooperating with the Vashak family can be regarded as a supply channel for selling stolen goods.
It is possible to buy all kinds of uncommon things, and you can also deal with all kinds of loot.
"Of course, I can help you identify it now."
The other party exhaled a puff of smoke, but he didn't care about it, just like eating and drinking tea.
Next, Sauron took something out of the space pouch.
Contains glass vials of various previous organs, mostly human skin scrolls.
These things are taken out not only for the purpose of selling stolen goods, but also for a show of force.
Sure enough, after the professional woman finished the examination, the eyes that looked at him became much more serious.
"Throne of Bones, the Cult of the Evil God has been resurrected again, and now the Sun God and other churches are busy." Barrett's tone was rare with some emotional fluctuations, a little gloating.
When he had checked it, Sauron had an extra stack of special papers inlaid with gold trim.
Somewhat similar to a sword, the portrait of the goddess of wealth is depicted on the front.
It feels very textured, and it is the banknotes of the Imperial Wealth Bank, which can be exchanged for gold coins.
It is called the gold pound and is directly linked to the gold coin.
It is divided into five values: 1/5/10/20/100.
With the vigorous development of the industrial revolution, it is accompanied by the boom of the capital market.
Gold coins have become less and less suitable for large-value transactions, so it is only natural that banks are born.
The gold pound is easy to carry and has begun to be promoted and issued in large transactions.
In addition, there is a certain amount of storage fee for depositing money in a bank, and it is not free to deposit and withdraw.
"This is the supervision of the Ten Great Families and the Wealth Church, and it is also the issuer of the imperial currency, and its credibility is guaranteed. The 500 gold pounds is an upfront deposit, which will give you additional income when the goods are processed. ”
The working woman handed over a stack of bills.
"Sir Sauron, you can call me Marianne, the butler who belongs to Young Master Barrett, may we cooperate happily."
Sauron unfolded the bill and looked at the goddess of wealth above.
I just feel that the other party is so charming, and I can't wait to take the other party home to worship.
It feels good to be rich!
Smelling the intoxicating scent of banknotes, his smile became a lot more sincere: "Happy cooperation." ”
