Roddy used magic to cut through the excess vegetation, and turned over it carefully, but he felt that these pits were similar to the cannonball craters in his impression - the traces on the land had long since disappeared, and the dents that could be seen now were all left by stone buildings, and Roddy could still see the lines of the stones deformed and cracked after being deformed by the heat and cooled on the side near the dents, which made him feel more and more strange. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Could it be that this place has been smashed by the forbidden spell "Meteor Shower"?

Roddy stood there and thought about it, he really didn't know where this was where the former High Elf Kingdom was. Seeing that it was still early, he stepped on the duck and flew straight west for a while, landed in the northern part of Bergen's territory, and walked into a town that was still intact - with so many newspapers, it was only natural for Roddy to come to the target area to see what the effect was.

To his surprise, as he approached the tavern, he heard someone reading aloud from the latest issue of the newspaper.

"Hot recruitment... Well, you want to hear that, okay, I read - if you think you have a skill and want to find a stable, well-paying job in Elson, then don't hesitate!"

"Tailors, tanners, bakers, blacksmiths... Well, it seems to include all professions, even theater actors..."

The young man who read the newspaper was obviously not doing this work on his first day, and he scanned the occupations for which he had been recruited, and read Elson's salary to those in the audience who were qualified: "12 silver coins a month for a professional blacksmith! 30 silver coins after passing the promotion exam! Bolando, you really shouldn't waste this skill in this place where birds don't!"

Elson provides a lot of "public jobs", leather, blacksmiths, tailors, urban patrols, etc. have vacancies, which is different from other cities, similar to tailors and blacksmiths, such professions are basically the crafts passed down from generation to generation in the Karen Kingdom, and it is normal for a shop to not move for generations, but in Elson, these occupations have the nature of "state-owned enterprises", because Luo Di wants to engage in large-scale production, not small workshop customization.

He casually found a seat, ordered the best meal in the tavern, and continued to listen to the other man's page.

In order not to make a piece of top-notch equipment too eye-catching, Roddy approved a gray cloak. So when he walked in, he didn't attract much attention, but the new headline in the newspaper's mouth attracted the attention of everyone in the room - "Elson is currently recruiting a large number of clerks, as long as you know how to write and read, you are eligible to apply, specific departments... Well, the Institute of Magic, the Ministry of Agriculture, I haven't heard of any of this, no, the 'newspaper' is supposed to be the place where the newspaper is written, and it seems that who will go to Elson to really have the opportunity to edit the newspaper for everyone to see!"

In fact, the newspaper advertisement is mainly for people in the Ivota area, in this era the transportation is not convenient, and it is basically a fantasy to want people from Bergen's territory to apply for jobs in Elson City, and it is estimated that it will take a month to go smoothly. But Roddy's deliberate printing was also a ploy: he wanted to give everyone the feeling that Elson was a place of wealth.

At this point, the newspaper was over, and the people around took out copper coins as a cheer - it had become a common rule, not much, but it was still a gesture of gratitude. When everyone had returned to their seats, the hotel owner at the counter quipped with the young man, "Cauchy, you are well-read and literate, do you want to go there?"

This young man was the knight Cauchy, who had started reading the newspaper more than a week ago, and his eyes were still fixed on the newspaper in his hand at this time, and he replied with some hesitation: "I really want to go and see..."

As a knight, Cauchy had no intention of living on the food he earned from reading the newspaper every day. But Elson's journey is indeed long at the moment, and his lean horse is estimated to starve to death halfway through - the reality is so cruel that there is no choice.

"Hey, man, come on. ”

Cauchy turned his head and saw a shadow in the air, and when he reached out and grabbed it nimbly, he saw that it was a silver coin of fine color. The knight's eyes lit up—in Bergen's domain, the finest silver coin was almost as good as two inferior nickel-laced coins currently on the market, and it was definitely the highest reward he had ever given in his life.

Looking up, Cauchy found that the man who was cheering on the scene obviously exuded an aura that was different from others. He had fought in wars, so it was easy to tell the smell of blood on the other side...

Those who can feel this way are certainly not commoners or citizens, but aristocrats who have fought in wars.

"Boss, I'll treat this knight to a glass of wine, for the best. ”

Roddy beckoned Cauchy to sit down and asked with interest, "You just said you wanted to go to Elson?"

Cauchy was naturally a little embarrassed when he was asked like this, and smiled awkwardly: "It's just a thought, after all, I'm already homeless, where is it not wandering to wander?"

After chatting with each other, Luo Di made up an identity and said: "I also just came back from the east, my father was killed in the war, and the territory was ruined, and it seems that there is no way to take it back from the other old thieves, so I will walk around." ”

The identity he said was actually the missing eldest son of a nobleman in his memory, and Roddy had been tasked with helping to find the remains, so he was very clear about the family background of this kind of nobleman, and in a nutshell, Cauchy confirmed that he was indeed a descendant of a nobleman in the eastern part of the kingdom, and the original doubts about his identity disappeared, and the topic of conversation was relaxed.

"This battle is inexplicable, but what is even more inexplicable is that His Majesty still wants to continue fighting. I've heard that Mirno didn't have a lot of men, and I don't know how many troops I'll be able to make it to Evta. ”

Hearing this, Roddy laughed inwardly - he published newspapers and constantly used public opinion to put pressure on the nobles for the sake of the current scene: who would do thankless work among the nobles who had no cohesion? As long as Mirno's final army did not exceed four thousand, then Roddy only needed to send an elite raid a few times to make these straw bales fall apart. As for the siege or something... Roddy has countless back-hand ambushes waiting to trap him.

"That said, if you don't fight, there's no way to make money... I still have some silver coins left, but I'm going to starve to death if I keep dangling like this. ”

Roddy pretended to complain a few words, and played the role of "Wandering Noble Descendant" more realistically.

The words that came from his mouth were actually the complaints of most knights or young nobles of this era - the only skill of the nobles who had no family business was to fight on horseback, and it was difficult to earn anything without fighting, so there were always various reasons for duels or skirmishes within the kingdom. Even Charles II could only turn a blind eye to this, because he couldn't control it at all.

"Actually, there is a way, I don't know if you want to. Cauchy covertly pointed to a few black-robed guys in the corner of the tavern, and said in a low voice: "The Pit Viper Cross has recently been recruiting knights for Count Mirno, and if the knight nobles join, they will be paid once a week, and they will be paid a lot." ”

"Oh, Viper Cross?" (To be continued.) )
