The atmosphere in the bar was noisy and lively, with more than a group of people already seated on the high-backed seats and long wooden tables in the corner of the hall. There they talked enthusiastically, with rude jokes, laughing from time to time, and took huge tin glasses and gulped down mellow ale. Near the wall, there were also a table or two of people gathered together to play poker, but judging by the people around them, it was clear that they were not just playing cards.

However, the busiest place is the counter directly in front of Carl.

Many people in short shirts crowded in front of the counter, either lying on the counter with their arms propped up, or leaning back on the bar with a large glass of ale in one hand, drinking and talking to the owner of the bar.

"Hey, old Tom, for Lisa's sake, and the Lord's sake, bring me another drink!"

"Haha, Gore, Lisa won't bless you, she will definitely break your leg when she sees you using the money to buy brown bread and drinking!"

"Haha, poor Gore, Lisa's body is twice as wide as his, it's really worrying, when he exercises at night, will he be crushed by Lisa's poor waist!"

There was a crowd in front of the noisy bar, and Carl had just approached when he smelled a foul smell. It was an unpleasant smell mixed with sweat, bad breath, and heavy body odor after not taking a shower for many years, and it was really unbearable.

Carl couldn't help but cover his nose and lightly fanned his hand twice, trying to shake the smell away.

However, his rude actions instantly made him the focus of everyone's attention.

"Outlander?" a drunken drunk who was holding a wine jar squinted at Carl and underestimated, "Still a chick?"

"Or a superior man in a robe?"

"What is a superior man doing in our inferior tavern?"

"Maybe it's to find a nurse for yourself to eat milk and open meat!"

The rude joke immediately caused a round of laughter around him!

Karl looked at his clean linen robes, and then at the patched, dusty, greasy, and wine-soaked shirts around him, and suddenly felt that he was out of place here.

"Uncle Tom, I'm done with the job at Pete's pulp wash, and I want to find a new job tomorrow!"

Just as Carl was about to ignore the drunkards and go straight to the bar to ask about work, a crisp and pleasant voice, as beautiful as the call of a nightingale, suddenly sounded and asked the question Carl wanted to ask.

It was the girl who came in front of Karl, she was wearing a clean white shirt and black skirt, her black hair was long and straight, and her figure was slender and slender, and she knew by looking at her back that she must be a beautiful girl.

As if sensing Carl's gaze, the girl glanced back, smiled a friendly smile, and then turned back to continue talking to the owner of the bar.

"Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, the three cargo ships of Pier 3, Breaking Waves, Silver Rose, and Melgan will enter the harbor, the owners of which are Knight Hambaney and Baron Grant, and they need 20 porters, 15 coppers a day, and now there is the last place left. ”

The owner of the bar was a middle-aged man with brown hair, he was not tall, even a little shorter than the average person, but he had a strong back and thick bones, which developed horizontally like a dwarf, and his chest was broad and his back was thick, almost twice as thick as ordinary people.

His complexion was dark, his cheekbones were exposed, and his face was like a cast of iron, and just sitting there gave him a different kind of majesty and bearing.

He sat behind the bar, scrubbing his glasses with a rag and answering the girl's questions. His voice was low, not loud, but surprisingly clear to everyone.

"However, Pier 3 is the territory of the 'water ghosts', and everyone who goes to work there has to pay one-third of their income to the water ghosts, and of course, for the sake of Silver Dawn, you only need to pay two coppers. ”

"Greedy water ghosts, more annoying than those vampire masters!"

As soon as the barkeeper's words fell, a series of complaints rang out in the bar!

"That's it, the greedy water ghost, last time because little John secretly hid a copper, they broke two legs and almost threw him into the sea!"

"I wish this group of greedy water ghosts to go to the sea as soon as possible to be real water ghosts!"

"That's right, I wish the water ghost to be a water ghost soon!"

"Here, cheers to the water ghosts who have been water ghosts early!"

"Cheers!"

There was a cheer in the bar, and the ale glasses were raised one after another, and the enthusiastic cheers vividly illustrated how unpopular the "water ghosts" were.

"Hey, Uncle Tom, you're teasing me again, last time Aaron and I just had a hard fight with the thugs of the 'Water Ghosts', how can we go to work in the Water Ghosts' territory now?"

In the midst of a jubilant cheer, the girl slapped the table dissatisfiedly, slamming the heavy oak bar, and expressing her strong dissatisfaction with the owner of the bar.

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, in the northwest corner of the port area, the warehouse of the Golden Rose Commercial Bank needs to transfer a batch of goods, 12 coppers a day, and there are still three people missing!"

The bar owner continued to wipe the copper cup without reacting, but lightly introduced another job.

The girl couldn't help but sigh, and said helplessly: "Uncle Tom, because of the fight between me and the water ghosts, I can't find a job in the harbor area now, and those bastard water ghosts have colluded with all the business managers in the port area, and they are not allowed to ask me to do things." ”

The bar owner finally stopped wiping the copper cup, he looked up at the girl, and then said lightly: "Tomorrow, Claire's family in the commercial area is going to hold a banquet, and it needs a kitchen maid, 3 coppers a day." If you want to go, go to 8 Xiangzhang Street tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., Claire Family Mansion to report. ”

"Only 3 coppers?"

The girl couldn't help but be a little depressed, three coppers were only enough to buy six black bread, or the most unpalatable and difficult to eat, mixed with I don't know how much sawdust and lime.

But there is no way, who let her offend the water ghost gang, and she can't find a job in the harbor area, so she can only find some kitchen helpers, laundry shop, tailor shop sewing and other jobs that normal girls should do. These jobs are not as tiring as working as coolies in the docks, but the income is completely incomparable to those heavy physical work.

"Well, that's all there is to it, who made me offend those damn water ghosts!"

The girl accepted it a little helplessly, but she couldn't help but jokingly asked Uncle Tom: "Uncle Tom, are there any other jobs that pay better, and those water ghosts can't manage them?"

"Hahaha, little Lucy has grown up now, and it's not easy to find an easy and well-paid job?"

"That's right, little Lucy, I know a job that pays well and is perfect for a pretty girl like you......"

As soon as the girl's words fell, the continuous coaxing continued to sound. The vulgar joke was mixed with lewd hints, which made the girl very angry.
