Chapter 380: Cooperation and Recruitment
With Alice's help, the secret cooperation between Green and the Igor family went very smoothly.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the Igor family will declare on the surface: The Igor family will pay two pounds of pure gold to the demon as Alice's ransom. In private, the Igor family will engage in secret smuggling trade with the demons, and the two sides will exchange for the strategic materials they need each other.
After completing the diplomacy with the Igor family and achieving the main purpose of the trip, Green finally had time to deal with the second main task of his trip: recruitment!
In the past, Green recruited people secretly, for fear of being known, but after some ideological work by Alice, Green's thinking finally changed - recruiting people should hold up their own name and make a big move!
Of course, you can't do this in the Kingdom of Northbod, but this is the Kingdom of Palomea, so naturally there are not so many worries.
After spending a few gold coins as venue fees, Green put up a sign directly at the entrance of the Adventure Guild:

The sign at the entrance of the Adventure Guild was very conspicuous, so it was discovered by everyone not long after it was erected.
And after seeing the content on the sign, all the adventurers were stunned.
The monthly salary of ten silver coins is not tempting for adventurers, after all, although the adventurer's profession is risky, the remuneration is still good, but the following "forcibly promoted to the transcendent level" treatment is impossible to ignore.
Not all adventurers can advance to the Transcendental. The peak of human beings is between the ages of twenty and forty, and when the age of the adventurer reaches the age of forty, his physical fitness will begin to decline, and he will have to quit the "adventurer" industry and return to his hometown to farm, which is how the vast majority of retired adventurers come. But if the adventurer can advance to the transcendental, then it means that the aging period of the body can be postponed until the age of sixty! Sixty years old! This means that the peak of adventurers is doubled!
The transcendent level is full of temptation not only for adventurers who lick blood on the edge of the knife, but also for ordinary people.
No one doesn't want to be young forever. When a person's physical strength begins to decay and wrinkles begin to appear on his forehead, he will be full of longing for the word "extraordinary". However, in the vast majority of cases, the transcendent rank is the preserve of the nobility, and the probability of the birth of the transcendent among the commoners is simply like hitting the luck!
Because of this, Green's recruitment order caused more sensation than Green imagined.
Early the next morning, when Green took Alice and Epova to the Adventure Guild, he found that the entire Adventure Guild was full of people! Green and his party couldn't even get in.
"Did anything happen today?" Green looked at the crowded scene in front of him in bewilderment.
"They should all be here for your interview." Alice, whose face was hidden under her robes, spoke.
"But that's too much, isn't it? The signboard was only released at noon yesterday, and so many people came to participate in the interview today? ”
"Except for church baptism and some evil blood sacrifices, there are only a handful of means that can directly advance people to the supernatural, and each of them requires a lot of resources, and it is simply not something that ordinary people can afford. Although the advanced demons will lead to the exhaustion of latent energy, for the vast majority of civilians, the advanced transcendence itself is already the limit of their potential. ”
What Alice said, of course Green understands. It was precisely because of the great temptation that Green wrote it. After all, if you don't have a little temptation, how can you recruit people? But the number in front of me is too exaggerated. Is this squeezing the Spring Festival?
The recruitment time is only three days, and after three days, the Igor family will send the Adamantite that Green needs, and then Green will leave. With the current flow of people, Green felt that it would take less than three days to recruit the talent he needed.
At this moment, the staff of the Adventure Guild noticed Green and his party standing outside.
"Guest, you're finally here." The staff of the Adventure Guild ran over and said to Green with an anxious face, "These people are here to look for you, and the guild leader asked you to take them away quickly when you come." ”
"Hmm......" Green said to the guild staff, "can I ask the guild staff to help?" ”
"Do you need us to do anything?"
"Help keep order in order and get them in line." Green looked at the crowded scene in front of him and smashed his mouth, "They are like this, we can't even get in." ”
"This ......," the guild clerk grimaced.
"Thank you for your hard work." Alice suddenly stepped forward and handed a gold coin to the guild clerk.
In an instant, a bright smile appeared on the face of the guild clerk: "Okay! I'll arrange it. ”
Relying on Alice's face and the offensive of gold coins, several guild employees were very happy to accept Green's commission, and Green and his party also entered the adventure guild through the back door, borrowing a vacant office on the second floor of the adventure guild, intending to use it as an interview location.
In the first-floor adventure hall, several guild staff were trying to persuade everyone to line up, but those waiting for interviews ignored the guild staff's orders. Line up? Who's in front and who's behind? That alone is enough to make everyone brainstorm. Everyone came together, so why was he in front of me?
Seeing the growing smell of gunpowder in the guild hall, the guild staff found that this seemed to be impossible......
The queue was already chaotic, and it was too difficult to get people to line up in order.
As time passed, half an hour later, the people in the guild hall still hadn't evacuated. An employee of the Adventure Guild hurriedly found Green, who was setting up the interview venue.
"No, sir. The people below did not listen to persuasion at all. The Adventure Guild staff said to Green with an anxious look on their faces.
Green looked through the window of his office on the second floor and looked at the more and more people below, and understood that things would get out of control if they were not dealt with.
"Why don't you cancel the interview today?" Alice proposed, "If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a riot." ”
"We only have three days." Greene paused, "And if you can't even solve this little thing, how can you manage a larger population?" ”
"Hmm......" Alice stood beside Green, looking down, "Why don't I step in and ask the vigilantes to come and help?" ”
Green squinted his eyes and thought, "No. Number tickets are issued to those below. ”
"Issuing numbered bibs?" Alice looked suspicious.
"That's right! The number ticket is handed out, and then the number on the number plate is followed by the interview. ”
“…… I see, that's a good idea. Alice's eyes lit up, "The biggest problem at the moment is that there is no way to determine the order, and once the order is determined, even if they feel dissatisfied or unfair, they have to follow the order." ”
Once the policy is clear, the rest is easy.
Epova wrote the numbers and numbers in a notebook with a pen and cut them into small pieces of paper, which Grimm magically gave to distinguish them from ordinary paper and prevent anyone from forging the number plates. After that, the staff of the Adventure Guild will take it to the following and distribute it.
……
In the lobby of the Adventure Guild.
Evan hid in the corner, overwhelmed by the crowd in front of him.
Evan is an ordinary rural girl, because she is unwilling to stay in the village for the rest of her life and live the kind of life of "facing the loess with her back to the sky", so Evan and two friends left the village together and came out on an adventure. However, reality slapped Evan hard!
The death of his companions made Ivan completely sober up, and at the same time, it also made Ivan confess that people like himself are like weeds in this world. Ivan did not dare to go back to see his companions' families, and in desperation, Ivan could only stay in the adventure guild and use the savings left by his companions to stay alive - purely "alive".
Evan doesn't know what to do when his savings are spent, he is full of confusion about life, and he just "lives" purely. Suddenly, Evan felt like he understood what the "willing to fall" people were thinking. If there is no hope in life, we can only degenerate and sink in indulgence......
Just then, Evan saw a sign posted at the entrance of the Adventure Guild!
Ten silver coins a month? Comes with supernatural powers? On top of that, there doesn't seem to be any hiring restrictions on it, it seems like everyone wants it?
This...... Is there such a good thing in the world?
Although the kingdom of Mona is located in the "poor north", it doesn't seem to be a problem for someone like Evan, who has always been poor. Even if he can only get a minimum of ten silver coins a month, it is enough for Evan to live a normal life, and as for the special treatment of "promotion to transcendence", it is even more unimaginable for Ivan in the past.
Extraordinary! Even ordinary civilians with extraordinary strength can get the same treatment as knights - at least the guards who look down on adventurers will never dare to oppress a transcendental silver adventurer.
Evan was moved.
Not only Evan was moved, but most of the adventurers in the adventure guild were also moved, especially those in their thirties. Thirty years old is already the end of an adventurer's career, and the vast majority of adventurers can only choose to retire if they still fail to advance after the age of forty.
Although being an adventurer is a bit harder and you have to risk your life, the pay is really good. Advanced transcendental, for those adventurers who are about to retire, it is equivalent to extending their lives! So the adventurers went crazy.
A conflict between the demons and the kingdom of Northbod? In front of your own life, this is a fart!
The signboard of Mona Kingdom has only existed for half a day, and I don't know who destroyed it. However, although the signboard for recruitment was gone, the news spread quickly as if it had grown wings, and the result was the scene today.
Looking at the crowded scene in front of him, Evan felt a little desperate. After all, apart from a little farm work, he doesn't seem to have any special features, and he has no advantage compared to other adventurers.
Evan felt hopeless. But Evan is still here, after all, those "demons" seem to need to recruit a lot of people, although the chance is slim, but what if it happens?
While Evan was waiting anxiously, a female employee of the Adventure Guild walked over.
"Evan, here's for you." The female clerk handed a note to Evan.
Evan looked at the guild clerk in front of him who had taken care of him in surprise: "Miss Counter, what is this?" ”
"You'll need it later." The female clerk looked at Ivan and sighed, "Adventurers are not suitable for women. If you have the chance, give it a try. ”
Ivan looked at the note in his hand and the numbers on it, and seemed to understand something.
"I see. Thank you, Miss Counter. ”
The staff of the Adventure Guild left.
The staff of the Adventure Guild shuttled through the guild, handing out numbered tickets non-stop. Since the adventure guild does not have a tradition of issuing numbered plates, many people do not understand the purpose of this numbered plate for a while, and the guild staff will not explain it to everyone, at most only those adventurers who are familiar with themselves.
The distribution of numbered bibs continued for a while.
It wasn't long before a plump maid appeared at the top of the stairs leading to the office area on the second floor.
"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet! A loud sound echoed through the adventure hall, muffling the otherwise noisy sounds.
When the voices in the adventure hall were much quieter, the maid spoke again.
"Now, the interview has officially begun. Those who have received a numbered ticket will go upstairs for an interview in order, and those who have not received a numbered ticket should go to the adventure window to receive a numbered ticket. Now, I would like to ask the person who got the number 1 number plate to come upstairs for the interview, and also ask the person with the number 2 and 3 number plate to come and wait for me. ”
"Number one! I'm number one! A little halfling man made his way through the crowd like a loach and came to the maid.
"Number bibs?" A strong adventurer was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Wait, why do they have numbered plates and I don't?" ”
The cowmaid held out her hand, "Click! ~" Scratched a corner of the wall with a thud.
"Please follow the order." The cowmaid had a smile on her face, but looking at the wall that she had crushed to pieces, the adventurer, who had wanted to say something, decisively quieted down.
At the same time, the dining area of the Adventure Guild.
"Huh~A transcendent maid?" An elven adventurer who was dining furrowed his eyebrows.
In the dining area of the Adventure Guild, there are four adventurers occupying a table. Although the surroundings are very crowded, no one dares to approach this table, and this is a good indication of the deterrent power of several adventurers! Because these four adventurers are all silver-level adventurers, an adventure team composed of four transcendentals!
An elven bard, two warriors, and a halfling thief make for a very standard adventure party. The excellent combination and the strength of the Silver Tier allow this team to accomplish many tasks that ordinary adventurers can't. Under normal circumstances, an adventure party of this level will usually only appear in towns with endless labyrinths, and it is rare for such a powerful adventure party to appear in the "adventurer's wilderness" like Miluo Harbor.
"What is the strength of that maid?" The dwarven warriors at the same table looked around. However, there were so many people around that the dwarves couldn't see anything.
"General." The elven bard gracefully stroked the long hair next to his ear, "But it's really a bit more powerful than the average person." ”
"Directly advanced to the extraordinary...... Tsk tsk. Back then, I was trying to advance to the extraordinary, but I worked hard to the death. "The human knights at the same table have a deep understanding.
The halfling thief at the same table put down his wine glass and wiped his hands: "You stay here, I'll go up and take a look, and see what methods they use to make people advance." ”
"Bodo, be careful. The demons in the north can make the Northboy Kingdom unable to take them, and they will definitely not be weak. ”
"I know." The halfling thief smiled, "I'm just going up and looking, and I won't cause trouble." ”
