"Phew!"

"Peng!"

With a loud bang, a drunk man was punched by the girl, knocked over four or five drunks in a row, and smashed on the thick-backed seats in the hall, rolling into a ball!

The hall was quiet for a while, and then burst into laughter!

"Well done, little Lucy!" someone gave a thumbs up to the girl who was beating people.

"Haha, little Lucy's strength has gotten bigger again, I bet she can beat ten adults now!" Some people slapped the table and laughed, happily watching the excitement.

The girl who punched the drunk man with a punch, puffed up her cheeks angrily, and tried to make a fierce appearance, glaring fiercely at this group of bastards who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

However, when she saw that there was still a stranger Carl present, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly put away the fierce posture of rolling up her sleeves and beating people at any time, and tried to make a ladylike expression.

Carl was still worried about how to squeeze through the crowd and go to the bar to ask about work, but the girl had just punched four or five drunks away, and slammed a passage through the crowd, so that he didn't have to worry about the problem of being in place.

So he walked quickly, through the vacated passageway, and walked to the bar - as for the girl's obviously much greater strength than ordinary people, although it was surprising, but considering that there are such unscientific existences as knights and magic in this world, it is not surprising that a girl with strength comparable to that of a humanoid tyrannosaurus girl appeared.

The owner of the bar continued to wipe the brass cup as if he had not seen the farce unfolding in front of him, and only glanced up at Carl as he approached the bar.

Carl first looked at the girl who had just beaten someone, and unexpectedly, this was a very charming girl. She has a pair of gray eyes that can talk, long eyelashes, and slightly upturned eyes, making her look playful and cute. Her hair was the same color as Carl's, and her long, flowing black hair was soft and casually draped behind her, and although her figure was not yet fully developed, it was quite bumpy and convex.

Carl's gaze made the girl seem a little shy, she turned her head a little embarrassed, and said to the uncle at the bar: "Uncle Tom, I want to learn words, do you know where you can teach people to read and write?"

"Oh, little Lucy, you haven't given up on your dreams?" the barman finished wiping a copper cup, glanced at the girl, and then continued to take out the copper kettle from under the counter to continue wiping.

"That's right, after the events of the past few days, I already have an idea, I want to learn words!" the gray-eyed girl nodded heavily and said with a serious face.

"Uncle John, I'm almost sixteen years old, and I'm not too young. Although I have a lot of strength and can do a lot of work that girls can't do, but after all, I am a girl, working as a porter on the dock and a coolie in the warehouse, how long can I do it?"

"Besides, I've offended the water ghost gang again, and I can't do a lot of work in the port area. How much can you earn by doing pulp washing and working as a domestic helper?"

"I'm not a boy, I can't get on the ship to be a sailor, and even the respected Silver Dawn mercenary group doesn't want girls to ...... when recruiting new recruits"

The girl spoke very seriously, and in the dim light, her playful and lovely eyes could not help but become serious, and glowed with a resolute and serious light.

Looking at the girl who got serious, the bar uncle finally stopped wiping, sighed and said, "That's right, relying on strength to do things is not a long-term plan after all." Unless it is the bloodline of an awakened knight and becomes a powerful knight or warlock, otherwise, after the age of forty, the body will age very quickly, and it will be difficult to find a suitable job. ”

"Little Lucy, you think very well, much more mature than those young stinky boys on the docks. They are either full of enthusiasm and fantasize about becoming sailors, becoming mercenaries, dreaming of reaping wealth after an adventure. Either you will be in a mess, get by, and after earning money, you will drink and gamble, and you will not think about tomorrow at all. ”

"These two kinds of people, these old John has also seen a lot, and now there are few young people who have the patience to learn a craft and live honestly as an apprentice!"

"But, little Lucy, learning words is no better than learning other crafts! Writing and reading and writing are the things that only noble families, and the monasteries of the church, which are generally specialized in teaching people to read and write. ”

"Governesses of the aristocracy, we must not be able to climb high. In the case of the convent, little Lucy, you are too old to be adopted by the convent from an early age, so you have no chance of becoming a noble nun. ”

"So, if you want to learn words, you are free to choose between them!"

"Either find a profession that can read and write, such as a bookkeeper and accountant in a commercial bank, sign a ten-year apprenticeship contract, and be a ten-year apprentice to learn from your master. Either you spend a lot of money and find some scholars who are willing to teach people how to write. ”

"I want to learn from scholars!"

The girl did not hesitate to choose the latter, the apprentices of the guild are to sign a deed of sale, called apprentices, in fact, there is no difference from free slaves, in addition to hard work every day, but also to wait for the life of the master's family, a little dissatisfied, is to beat and scold!

The girl has lived in a civilian area since she was a child, and she has long seen how hard the life of an apprentice is. She didn't want to do that kind of miserable life of hard and tired, and being beaten and punished casually.

She originally wanted to grasp her destiny, live a better life, climb to the upper class, and then become an apprentice, wouldn't it be completely meaningless?

The barman seemed to understand the girl's thoughts, and he did not continue to introduce the apprenticeship work, but directly talked about the fees of the scholars: "Thanks to the annual Poseidon Festival and the blessing of the beautiful scenery of our Silver Tide City, although our Nagar City is not a 'city of fashion and art' like Milan, nor is it a 'city of scholars and wisdom' like Rensa, there are still many great scholars and artists in our city! Many of them are happy to teach students, as long as you can afford to pay Silver Lake!"

"According to the usual market, the price of a scholar professor for a month is five silver lakes!"

"Five Silver Ryker?"

The girl couldn't help but be taken aback, she didn't expect the price of learning words from a scholar to be so high.

"That's right, five silver rakes, one gold thaler is twenty silver raks, one silver rak is six silver horns, and one silver horn is twenty-four coppers! One copper can buy a black loaf of acceptable quality, twenty times six times twenty-four, and five silver rak can buy seven hundred and twenty black bread, which is enough for two years' rations for one person!"

"So expensive?"

"It's so expensive, after all, don't those superior people often say that knowledge is priceless?
