Chapter 2 Employment
"Who's the magician here!" the deafening voice made everyone hear it very clearly, and everyone looked towards Naxi in unison.
At this moment, Naxi wanted to die, and the masculinity that surged up just now was long gone. Witnessing the violent scene just now, Naxi began to pray silently for herself, hoping that this violent woman would not find her.
The hot mysterious girl followed everyone's gaze to Naxi's side and asked, "Are you a magician?"
If Zai Ping was asked so by such a graceful girl, Naxi would definitely answer proudly, yes, I am a magician, a suave and beloved magician.
But now he doesn't dare to say so, who knows if the beauty in front of him has prejudices against magicians, he doesn't want to ask for trouble.
"Ah, haha, I'm a magician? I'm not a magician. Nashi was a little nervous and stammered to deny the fact that he was a magician.
"Oh, whose wand is this broken staff?" the beauty picked up the oak magic wand that was placed next to Naxi, which made Naxi, who had just taken it out to show off, eager to chop off his hand.
"Oh. The tavernkeeper Victor gave Naxi the fatal blow at this time, "This magic wand belongs to the young man next to you." ”
The beautiful woman turned her head again with an expressionless face and stared at Naxi, who was already trembling: "Since it's your thing, why did you deny that you were a magician just now?" Are you an unrecognized dark magician?"
In order to strengthen the control of mages, not only the empire, but the whole world strictly manages mages. For example, a magician must pass the Magic Academy examination to obtain a magician certificate, otherwise he is a black magician who is wanted by various countries.
As soon as the beauty's question came out, Naxi hurriedly defended herself: "Black magician, I'm not a black magician. I'm a certified Empire mage. ”
"Then why did you deny it just now? The beauty stared coldly at Naxi, her eyes as sharp as a blade.
Naxi, who was opposed to the army, couldn't tell the difference, so he had to defend himself: "Aha, that, that, because the contemptible person is, it is a junior magician who only graduated today." So, so I was humble just now, and I hope you don't mind. ”
Hearing this, the armor beauty hesitated a little: "Just graduated?"
Seeing the beauties' puzzled look, Naxi seemed to have caught a life-saving straw: "That's right, that's right, the contemptible person just graduated from the Academy of Magic, a rookie who doesn't understand anything, please forgive me." ”
However, the beauty didn't listen to Naxi's words, she put Naxi aside and said to herself: "The magician who has just graduated doesn't seem to be very reliable, and magic won't have much waste material to do anything." ”
The word scrap deeply irritated Naxi, who was still worried on the sidelines, and as a magician, he would never tolerate such an insult. The magician is also dignified, and the anger has filled his heart, just waiting for the moment to explode.
But as soon as the thought turned, Naxi remembered the terrifying scene just now, and his sharp skills didn't seem to be able to deal with it, and suddenly the whole person withered again.
Sure enough, he was a useless magician scrap.
Before Naxi could cheer up from her lost emotions, the beauty asked again, "Do you know how to speak in the abyss?"
In order to learn more about magic, magicians try to learn as many languages as possible in addition to the lingua franca. And a language like Abyssal that has a lot to do with demons and magic is basically a compulsory course for magicians.
The mysterious girl's question finally made Naxi regain some sense of existence, and Naxi couldn't help but be a little proud: "Abyssal language, speaking of which, no one in the class can speak the abyssal language better than me!
"What about the Elf. The mysterious girl didn't seem to care how well Naxi learned Abyssal Language, and continued to ask.
"Elvish is also very good. Naxi couldn't help but feel a little fluttery. He finally felt that the elven poetry that he had wasted so much time studying had finally come in handy.
The spring of literary youth.
"Well, although he is a junior magician, he has mastered both Abyssal and Elven languages, so he should be able to meet their demanding requirements. Once again, the mysterious girl said to herself, completely ignoring the feelings of the others present, and Naxi also felt that she was a puppet who could only answer questions, and there was no room for her own beginning.
The tavern owner Victor finally couldn't help it, even though the mysterious girl in front of him had the strength to scare people to death, he still had something to say. He felt the need to remind the people in front of him that he would lose money by destroying the floor of the tavern. But before he could speak, the mysterious girl offered a reward that satisfied him.
The two gold coins snapped on the counter, and the mysterious girl's tone did not have any emotion, and her eyes glanced at the floor of one person upside down: "Two gold coins should be enough." The implication is that the money is used to repair the hole in the ground.
"One is enough, not so much. Victor took only one and pushed the other back.
But the mystery girl didn't take back her remaining gold coin, she pushed it over again: "I can ask you for a message. ”
In many cases, the tavernkeeper has a lot of chips in his hand, such as intelligence, mercenary information, etc., which are the contents of the transaction that can make the tavernkeeper a lot of money.
"How do I know if the information you want to know is worth a gold coin?" Victor didn't immediately accept the commission.
"Quite simply, I just want to know how much this guy is worth?" said the mysterious girl, pointing to Naxi, who was sitting next to her, with a blank expression.
Victor's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you planning to hire this rookie who has just finished business, it's very risky." ”
"It doesn't matter, just tell me how much money I can hire. ”
"Fifteen gold coins can be hired in a month, because a novice like him can't even buy mercenary insurance, so it will be a little more expensive. ”
"That's cheap, that's it, that's it. ”
Victor and the Mystery Girl complete the hiring of Naxi in a question and answer.
Naxi couldn't believe what he saw, and the two of them were just judging themselves, and Victor, a merchant who had sold himself to this unknown woman, had sold himself at such a low price.
Fifteen gold coins a month is just the commission of an ordinary mercenary, just enough to cover the wine money owed by Naxi, and Victor definitely did it on purpose......
The mysterious girl actually threw a bag of gold coins in front of Naxi's eyes: "This is a one-month commission in advance, and from now on you will be my mercenary." ”
Jianshang touched the bag earlier, and his smile bloomed like a farmer waiting for a bumper harvest: "Beauty, you are so generous." This boy just owes me fifteen gold coins for wine, and I will accept it. ”
The mysterious girl did not stop Victor and allowed him to take the gold coins away.
But this scene made Naxi almost faint with anger, he had just graduated from school, and he was so confused that he became an unpredictable mercenary, and he couldn't get a word to be a coolie.
Before Naxi could defend himself, Victor blocked his words: "Why are you staring at me, I have found a stable job for you, what do you want, is it possible that you still want to beat me." Hey, I'm just such a kind-hearted person, some people just don't appreciate it. ”
"What a fart, you're thinking about the money I owe you for drinks. ”
"Where do young people complain so much, you can not be a mercenary, and if you can't make money to pay back the wine, you will be sold to the Pink Cowherd custom shop at the end of the month. Victor showed no mercy at all, and in his opinion it was the right thing to get rid of this guy who had eaten and drunk for nothing.
Naxi was in a dilemma, and after thinking about it, he realized that he only had one way left to be a mercenary. Because if Victor sells it to the Pink Cowherd custom shop, it will be worse than death.
In the embarrassing atmosphere of everyone snickering secretly, Naxi was dragged out of the dim tavern by the mysterious girl with tears in her eyes.
"Young man, I hope you can come back here to drink again. Victor accepted the seventeen gold coins contentedly.
As for Naxi's fate, he didn't care about it.
