"Hello, I'm looking for a job. The gnoll witch medicine disciple stared at his big orange eyes, staring wistfully at the very conspicuous child of the abyss in the crowd.

“...... Why did you choose to look for me?" asked Andre with a smile as he looked at the orc in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, with broad shoulders and round arms, and a mixed coat.

"They all say you're the boss here!" the gnolls said.

“...... It's not impossible to ask me to arrange a job for you personally, but you have to have special skills that deserve me to personally inquire about this matter. ”

"I, Hogg, no one in the tribe can count more than the teacher!" the gnolls looked confident.

"Okay, then there are seventeen people in the cowardly kitchen team, and their salary is two hundred amphires per month...... Oh, there's going to be a monetary reform soon, it should be twenty 'silver dong'. So how much do I need to pay the kitchen team every month?"

"Uh......" The gnoll lowered his head and began to wrestle his fingers.

"Then let me change the question, a 'silver shield' is worth 100 amphire, a bottle of white amber is worth 35 amphire, and a bottle of green amber is worth 12 amphire. I'll buy one bottle of white amber and two bottles of green amber and pay you a silver guilder, so how much should you ask me for?"

“...... I don't have any amber on me. The gnolll innocently scratched the back of his head with his paws.

"If you can figure it out, I'll arrange for you to go to the Amber Water Bottle. The Son of the Abyss replied helplessly.

So the encouraged jackal rubbed his hands a little shyly, and asked embarrassedly, "Can you help me prepare paper and pen?"

"......" Andre sometimes really didn't understand where these otherworldly natives got their confidence, "do you have any other specialties?"

"I'm learning about witch doctors from Madarao Sensei, and I can recognize more than twenty kinds of herbs, and I can use seven or eight of them to prepare medicines!" the gnoll instantly regained his confidence.

"In that case, several of Andrari's Grand Druids and future Earth Temples lack apprentices who can skillfully prepare medicines. The basic salary is ten silver guilders, and there is a commission for a large number of medicines...... You told that girl that I arranged it, and it was the short-haired one, go ahead~"

After sending away the gnolls who had gotten what they wanted, an old man with green scales and a thick oval shell on his back appeared in front of André.

"I would like to ask Your Highness to arrange a ...... for me," the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who had obviously retired, smiled and bowed to the Children of the Abyss.

"So what kind of specialties do you have?" Andre had already noticed that this old man of the Sea Clan with a unique appearance had been watching from the sidelines just now.

"The old man has no special skills, but he has grown a lot of years and has seen a little more things than others. ”

This one seemed mild-mannered to speak, but the problem was that the Son of the Abyss was not used to his slow-paced way of talking in a roundabout way when dealing with internal affairs.

"Tell me what you can do. ”

"I heard that there is a place in your town dedicated to imparting knowledge, and the old man is a little interested. The old man's bright yellow pupils seemed to flicker with an inexplicable light.

"Do you want to lecture at Andrari as a lecturer? It's not impossible, but I first need to understand what you are best at, and when to start the course......

"No, no, no, Your Highness, you misunderstood, I just wanted to listen to the lecture with you. I'm curious about what Andrarui teaches......" explained the short, hunched old man excitedly.

"However, our classes and meals are only provided free of charge to the caregivers who have contributed to the construction of Andrarui. It's nothing to listen to, just an extra pair of ears. Providing free meals to tourists for a long time, Andrari has no precedent. ”

The meaning is already obvious, you are a guest, we can invite you to eat a few meals in a friendly way, if you want to eat for a long time, sorry we don't raise idlers here.

The elder of the alien race smiled suddenly, and then took out a bead as warm as water from the gap between his waist that seemed to be turtle shells—it was a milky white pearl the size of more than half an egg, and it seemed to be engraved with faint delicate runes, and Andrei's eyes of the abyss could see the faint blue magic light flowing above.

"What do you mean......" is not only not sure of the specific meaning of the other party, but the main thing is that the children of the abyss themselves are not sure about the value of this thing.

"Please allow Your Highness to stay here for a few more days, and it will not be too late for me to make plans after I understand the prosperity of Andrarui. ”

It seems that you can't lose money by exchanging jewelry for work meals, so let's do it first.

......

Nine coins are lined up in front of Andre, and they are one, five, and ten ampi with the pattern of ambi, cowardice, and succubus. Shields minted by the dwarves with the assistance of Andrari, interlaced axes and hammers, and silver coins with mountain motifs in the denominations of one, five, and ten "silver shields". and the Elf's newly trial-minted gold coin with oak leaves, lilies, and the World Tree on the reverse, "Golden Leaf".

The monetary system and laws that are the basic "soil" are already in the process of being perfected, and the next step in feeding this little sapling called "economy" is to have attractive enough commodities to serve as "nourishment" for it to thrive.

"What are the most popular commodities in the Elven Kingdom?" said the Children of the Abyss, looking very serious.

"Silk, mead, and art?" said Judeon, counting the favorite items of the human trader of yesteryear, "plus the well salt and steel equipment of the Limestone Clan." ”

"It's too one-size-fits-all!" André didn't look like he was joking, "even with Andrari's spices and distilled spirits, it's a pity that the shelf life of goods like sauces is too precarious...... What's the main thing in the elves' artwork?"

"Incense wood carvings, xylophones, wooden combs, wooden boxes and other small objects. The orc tribes in the wasteland want everything, but the goods they use for trading are very simple, and only the most powerful tribes have a large number of gold and silver materials. ”

"In that case...... Livia, you write down the ceramics first, and then we need craftsmen who are good at clay sculpture and painters who are good at fine brushwork, and we also need to build a new porcelain kiln with a certain scale. Blacksmiths must also industrialize and increase production...... A lot of fuel is needed for this! The coal reserves of the Foggy Mountains are still abundant, but the limestone dwarves will not be able to hollow out all their homes. Again, the development of new coal mines and metal mines is equally imperative. ”

"What about ships as a means of transport? The first phase of our wharf has been completed, and it will be up to us to see if the big ship that our team of carpenters will work together to make it fit. There is also the survey of the river, do you have any recommended candidates for this matter? The smooth flow of the river is related to the large output capacity of the elven kingdom and the limestone clan, and it is impossible to reach Andrarui safely and quickly through the Emerald River. We have to get started right away!"

"It's all too rare for our druids and rangers to have aquatic companions, as these aquatic creatures are a far cry from our elves' habits. Their role on land is also very limited, and almost no one chooses an animal like the otter as their close companion for decades. Although those little ones seem to be very smart......"

"Didn't a turtle elder come some time ago, maybe we could ask him to help!" Yudeon suddenly had an idea.

"His old man's eyebrows are all white, is it appropriate to give him such a heavy and dangerous task? Besides, he is not a freshwater turtle at all, he should be more adapted to the environment in the sea, right? There are no crocodiles in the sea, I think he will not be able to cope with those cruel and ruthless fellows at all, they all appear in groups!"

For those cold-blooded aquatic creatures, even the Great Druids didn't have much to do. Elves are better at dealing with more intelligent mammals and birds. Even the Great Druid, who is good at Transfiguration, can only flee when he encounters a school of crocodiles in the form of sea lions and seals.

"In any case, people from the kingdom of the sea have a deeper understanding of the underwater environment than we do. Whether it succeeds or not, let's listen to the elder's opinion first. ”

Catharon concluded by summarizing the final agenda items that had been pending at the meeting.

Andrari's progress was as surprisingly fast as their leader's thinking, and the Great Druid, who had passed more than half of his life, felt that he was no longer able to keep up with his train of thought.
