Chapter 115: Prologue to the Trade Union (Part II)

Purni was still very well-behaved, and after eating the food in front of her, she was about to come with a pen and paper, and said a few words.

Mature mercenaries get a salary, and in addition to the cost of treatment, accommodation and food, in general, they will ship money home, of course, there are banks now, but in this era, banks ask for money in reverse, so no mercenaries will have a bank.

Tomorrow, one day off, if the family is close, it is natural to go back, for example, Poolie's home is in the city, and even tomorrow is not in a hurry, she will be sent back in the evening - she only has 15 silver Lake, but it is enough for the mother and brother of the family to get enough food and clothing.

Other mercenaries have 45 silver rak per month, and in this case, they will generally leave 15 silver rak and 30 silver ryk to send home - the adventurer's union has this business, and the fee is relatively low.

However, not everyone is literate, and even fewer can write, so the free letter service naturally makes mercenaries very welcome.

So, with the lights in the hotel, she began to write letters home for the team members in earnest.

"Then you can eat, I'll go back first." Fang Xin said thoughtfully, and after speaking, he said hello and walked out of Old Enlin's tavern.

On the street, Fang Xin estimated the time, it was about seven o'clock, if it was an agricultural society, it was already time to rest, but here, it was still the beginning - each shop, there were oil lamps lit everywhere.

For the sake of light at night, the city even gave rise to a special profession - lamplighters.

Every day at dusk, they began to shout in the streets with carts full of lamp oil, and from time to time they were called by the shopkeepers to trim the lamps, add oil, and even mend broken lampshades—the wealthier merchants even had bright glass lampshades to protect against the wind.

The streets were full of people dressed in splendid clothes, and gentlemen and ladies were on horse-drawn carriages, going to the theatre or attending banquets.

Fang Xin was wandering around in the most prosperous commercial street, but his spirit was deeply embedded in the badge, and he had already begun to read the letters he received - this was already a fairly developed society, and it was only one step away from the critical point of the explosive development of society.

In the main plane, taking the road of science and technology, and producing the industrial revolution, this is a huge leap - in Fang Xin's view, the continental union in the form of several leaves itself has the basis for a commercial explosion.

Not to mention the division of nations, the development of printing and papermaking.

In contrast, it was named "Palak Island" because of the establishment of the Principality of Palak by Fang Xin, which was much inferior in terms of economy and technology - but this economy and technology were easy to catch up with in just thirty years.

Fang Xin's eyes were a little dark, no wonder Archbishop Barnier, the first step was to infiltrate the thieves' union, this is because the thieves' union has smuggling channels, but in fact, what the island needs is reverse smuggling - the import of grain, steel, weapons, technology, and even population, so that the island can quickly prosper.

Of course, continental intelligence and magic are the top priorities - although Archbishop Barnier himself is a legendary realm of the dark lineage, he is not a complete mage, and its power comes from the abyss and the dark lord, so in terms of magic, he actually doesn't know much, and he is biased towards necromancy.

Archbishop Barnier did not hide it from Fang Xin, but he did not explain it carefully, and Fang Xin deduced this, apparently understanding its plan in general.

Thinking about it, Fang Xin saw a food store, everything else in this store was fine, but something like a bun, he still paid some attention, in his memory, this bun was mostly filled with fresh seafood and meat, and it was extremely delicious - there was the ocean nearby.

Fang Xin stepped forward casually and took out a silver lake, and the guy in the store immediately smiled, and took out a small bamboo basket with 20 newly produced hot buns in it, and found three silver horns, with five coppers.

Fang Xin realized that Yin Leike was really valuable, he smiled, accepted it, 20 new buns, he couldn't eat them, found a stone pier and sat down, took out one casually, and ate it.

After only taking a bite, Fang Xin keenly noticed a kind of look—last time he also noticed the black-clothed man lurking in the room, but he didn't say it.

Originally, it didn't matter what the eyes were, but the kind of wonderful sense that came with the eyes—the essence of the power that was so faint that it was difficult to perceive or even existed, made Fang Xin interested.

Fang Xin believed that even a legendary power might not be able to sense the other party's essence at a glance like himself.

looked over, but saw that it was a child, Fang Xin's insight, was matched with a certain intuition, and immediately knew that she was a Luo Li, about eleven or twelve years old, but the malnutrition caused by hunger and cold made her look like seven or eight years old, she was looking at the buns, swallowing saliva.

Fang Xin showed an interested look.

Already so close to the fifth order, he already understood many things.

For example, once the fifth order is reached, the power is condensed into the so-called "supernatural power", and theoretically, its descendants will also inherit some supernatural essence according to the power of the ancestors (of course, this power is actually a condensation of matter, energy, and spirit, and wants to be obtained by cell analysis or blood transfusion, etc., then it is nonsense, this power actually has an instinctive mind and is connected to the source)

However, with the existence of the fifth order, it is difficult to have children!

Of course, in a world with low constraints, it is very likely that there will be children, which are the so-called "gods and demons".

Archbishop Barnier's knowledge lacks the basic one, but he has a lot of knowledge about the upper level - the knowledge of the gods and demons is exactly among them, and this title is a general term used to describe objects whose bloodlines can be traced back to demons or the heavenly realm.

However, in Fang Xin's opinion, anyone who has reached the fifth order can let the child inherit this supernatural essence, but this essence is not eternal and does not last forever, the child of the fifth order existence can probably only last for five centuries, the more powerful the existence, the longer the duration.

Unless this source (ancestor) can transcend time and space and become the supreme creator, there is no way for anyone to inherit it forever.

Consanguineous marriage can delay this process, but it cannot avoid the fate of extinction, so that any descendant of God will one day lose its divine essence and become mortal.

However, as long as there is a trace of this essence, and if it is trained, it can trigger potential - the knight last time was actually a descendant of a water god!

This Luo Li, the essence of the power that is so faint that it is difficult to perceive or even exists, may disappear in another or two generations at most, but Fang Xin has a new plan - to leave some power under his own control in this world, and she is still a very good experiment.

Fang Xin then smiled at the Luo Li, and then beckoned.

That Luo Li was taken aback suddenly, like a frightened kitten, she quickly shrank back, and after a while, she poked her head out again, and when she saw Fang Xin continuing to smile, she came out hesitantly.

In the night, although there was an oil lamp, but there was nothing clear in the distance, only a faint light and shadow, this Luo Li was attracted by the bun, although hesitating, but still walked in front of him.

Fang Xin handed over a still warm bun, but Luo Li did not hesitate at this time, took it, and devoured it.

Fang Xin smiled, and when she finished eating, she gave two more buns, and then watched her finish eating, Fang Xin felt that she had a cat, so he said, "You will follow me in the future, and I will be a maid, how about it?" ”

Luo Li then looked up at him, then nodded.

Fang Xin started and walked towards his small building, Luo Li automatically followed behind Fang Xin, along the way, he met a thrift store, Fang Xin went in at will, and spent the three silver horns he had just found to get two sets of old girl's clothes.

Fang Xin returned to his small building and said to Luo Li: "Boil water, take a bath, change your clothes, the buns in this basket are your food tonight and tomorrow morning and noon!" ”

With that, Fang Xin returned to his room by himself, his bedroom and study were connected, Fang Xin was not used to sleeping so early, so he brought the two books, and then began to lie on the bed, reading leisurely.

After about half an hour, the Lori was automatically washed and changed into clothes, although it was a coarse cloth dress, but it was in line with her identity.

Fang Xin glanced at her and found that she was neither beautiful nor ugly, and she was a little yellow and thin, so she asked, "Do you know how to write?" Is it possible to settle accounts? ”

"No, but I will clean the room, I will cook, I will do the laundry." This Luo Li said quickly.

"And who are some people in your family?" Fang Xin listened and asked noncommittally.

"It's gone, mom and dad are dead, and my brother is dead." The Lori spoke, but there were no more tears.

"Well, you are now the maid of my house, and your name will be Luo Li." Fang Xin nodded and said, "Now, you come over and close your eyes." ”
