Chapter 12: The Superior and the Inferior

"I'll go, such an expensive price?"

Not only was the girl surprised by the price of learning words, but even Carl, who had listened to the conversation between the two on the sidelines, was very surprised.

With good mathematical skills, Carl quickly converted the purchase value of five silver lakes in his heart.

According to the fact that one copper can buy a large piece of black bread and eat it for a day, the average daily income of a common man in a city is about five coppers, and the purchasing power of one copper is basically equivalent to twenty or thirty yuan in his world, and five silver rakes are equivalent to seven hundred and twenty coppers, even if the lowest copper is equal to twenty yuan, it is equivalent to fourteen thousand four hundred yuan.

Well, this conversion is actually about the same as the price of some of his vocational training institutions in the other world.

"Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, education and training are super profitable!"

Carl's heart was hot when he heard it, and the conversation between the girl and the barkeeper made him realize that he had inherited the greatest wealth from the original owner, even if he couldn't find a job today, he could consider using the knowledge of the original owner to open a tutor training class or something like that to make money to support himself.

With such a calculation, Carl's original anxiety and anxiety about sleeping on the street because he was worried about not finding a job were suddenly swept away, and the whole person became relaxed.

However, compared to Carl's light-heartedness, the girl who also calculated an account in her heart couldn't be happy.

"Five silver lakes, seven hundred and twenty coppers, even if I can find ten copper jobs every day, without eating or drinking, it will take two months to save enough!"

The girl couldn't help but be depressed, the work of ten coppers a day was not very common, the price of most of the jobs in the Silver Tide City was only 3 to 5 coppers a day, and she couldn't skip meals, and the amount of food was larger than others, even if she added her previous savings, it was not easy to save enough money.

"Moreover, learning words is a very long process, little Lucy, you have no foundation before, and it will take at least two years of study to fully learn it. Two years and twenty-four months, this will require 120 silver rak, all of which are six gold tales, which is a lot of money!"

The girl was already very depressed, but the account calculated by the uncle at the bar made her even worse and depressed.

Seeing that the girl bowed her head silently and was silent, the bar uncle shook his head secretly, and turned his gaze to Carl who was standing in front of the bar: "Hello, strange guest, do you need anything?"

Glancing at the huge oak barrel behind the bar uncle, he took a deep breath and said straight to the point, "I want to find a job!"

"Looking for a job?"

The barman looked at Carl seriously, and the young man in front of him looked like he had just become an adult, wearing a clean linen robe, with a clean head and face, ruddy cheeks, well-proportioned limbs, white and tender hands, without any traces of labor, and looking polite and well-educated.

Obviously, this is a young man with a good family background, and most of them are concubines or illegitimate children of noble families who have no inheritance rights. Only those children of noble lords and high-class families will grow up cleanly without calluses on their hands, without labor.

"You should go Uptown!"

Uncle Bar is not interested in such young people, and people who are not from aristocratic families and high-class families must be nobles and high-class people. The aristocracy implements a strict system of succession by concubines, and only the sons of the knightly bloodline who have awakened the knight's blood are eligible to inherit the titles and territories of the family.

Those concubines or illegitimate children who do not have the blood of an awakened knight and do not have any inheritance rights, when they reach adulthood, either stay in the family and become family retainers such as stewards, tax collectors, and magistrates, or with the support of the family, take up public office, or become a decent profession such as a secretary and personal tutor of a big man.

However, over the years, the aristocracy has multiplied, the family size has become larger and larger, and the number of concubines and illegitimate children has increased, but the territory and position are limited, and even the aristocratic lords who love their children cannot arrange their own huge number of concubines and illegitimate children.

Therefore, more and more concubines and illegitimate children from aristocratic families had to come out to earn a living, and most of them became well-known poets, scholars, musicians, painters, and sculpture masters, and some of them entered the trading houses and became the stewards and treasurers of the trading houses.

Anyway, as long as they are willing to do things seriously, with the knowledge and connections they have, they can still easily get a decent career and become a "decent person" that every civilian envy.

However, this is an impetuous era, and young people have become more and more impetuous. Young people in the civilian area have become more and more dislike to find an apprentice who keeps to himself, learns a craft after hard time, and works hard to live a life as a craftsman. They prefer to be sailors, mercenaries, or to fight storms on the sea, to gain wealth in the face of dangers, or to lick blood on the battlefield in the hope of earning a good salary.

And the young people from aristocratic families are even more influenced by the epic and knight novels they have seen since childhood, and they are eager for adventure, hoping to gain a lot of wealth and prestige through adventures and adventures like the characters in those legendary stories, and then awaken the knight bloodline, become a glorious knight, and return to the aristocratic class.

So, he had seen a lot of young people like Carl from noble and high-class families, and they all came to the tavern with unrealistic dreams, hoping to take on an adventurous job like the pig's feet of the legendary tales, such as clearing ogres and crusading against gnolls—the ghost knows that these non-human races of the wilderness have been swept away by knights and mercenaries in the past few centuries, and it is difficult to find a goblin in the entire Nagar region.

"Haha, another little cub from a superior family is here!"

"A little guy who has not dried up, haha, and maybe a young master from a noble family, wants to come to us to look for a job?"

"Hey, little master from a high-class family, let's go back to breastfeeding, this is not the place to satisfy your fantasies......"

"Hey, Daddy John, leave that little master from a high-class family alone, and bring me another glass of ale!"

All sorts of commotion rang out in the tavern, and they were happy to see a robed superior make a fool of himself here, and they were also happy to make fun of these usually high-ranking nobles.

However, in the fear of the young man's status as a superior person, they spoke a lot more restrained, at least they did not use the vulgar and obscene jokes they were used to to make fun of this young master - after all, no one knew what kind of identity background a high-class person in a robe had, whether he had awakened the blood of knights and could beat them alone, or if he had a strong background that could easily toss them through tax officials and sheriffs.

This has been a bloody lesson in the past, there was once a group of guys who just joked without proportion, and made fun of a short young man with chrysanthemums, and as a result, this young man later became a tax collector in the port area, and the group of guys who made fun of him were tossed very badly, if it weren't for the adults of Silver Dawn to come forward, those unlucky people who had made fun of young people would have to be driven out of the Silver Tide City one by one.

Although these inferior people mixed in the tavern are vulgar and reckless, they are very distinguishable and know the wisdom of survival!
