Chapter 15 Work away from home

Looking at the girl sitting next to Master Akali, Lucian shook his head vigorously to make sure he wasn't dazzled.

That's right, this girl is the mysterious girl I met last month!

Lucian originally thought that he might be afraid that it would be difficult to meet her again, but he didn't expect to meet now.

He was about to raise his hand to say hello to the girl, but when he saw the girl's eyes sweeping over, he shook his head at him gently.

Lucian could only suppress the doubts in his heart, and looked at Master Akali on the chair with the others.

"Let's sit down, everybody. Akali greeted casually, and after everyone sat down, her eyes swept over, and she nodded: "Since you can all pass the assessment questions I set, then you can obviously meet my requirements in terms of personal ability." Then I don't have anything to test for you, but the main thing I want to tell you is some practical requirements. ”

Everyone stared at Akali intently, and even the sound of breathing slowed.

"The research assistant I need to recruit this time will be sent to work outside the Sainz continent for a long time, at least half a year, and at most once a year. So if any of you can't accept this arrangement, you can opt out now. ”

A group of people looked at each other, and several of them looked embarrassed.

Although it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the personal assistant of Master Akali, the requirement to leave the continent of Sainz for half a year or even a year is indeed unacceptable to some people.

After a moment of silence, two men stood up and saluted Akali with regret on their faces, saying that they could not accept such an arrangement.

Akali didn't care, waved her hand and said, "You guys go back to the normal assessment, if you can pass." There is also the opportunity to work in our new flying chamber of commerce. ”

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.

However, the two did not leave just like that, and one of them hesitated for a moment and asked Akali, "Master Akali, can you tell us to be your personal assistant?" If it's good enough, then I don't think I'm completely out of favour with this arrangement. ”

Everyone looked at Akali again.

That's right, that's what they really care about.

Although Akali is an idol in the hearts of almost everyone in the room, it is everyone's dream to be her research assistant.

But the specific treatment is what really cares about them.

In the final analysis, they want to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and what they do is the good treatment that can be provided here.

Akali smiled, not surprised by the question.

"What about the specific treatment...... If you accept the job. You will become a junior research assistant of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute, and enjoy all the relevant benefits of a junior research assistant. I'm sure you've already investigated these things when you came to apply, so I don't need to say more. ”

Quite a few people nodded together.

When the new flying chamber of commerce conducts open recruitment, the salary and package of all the recruited positions will be clearly written and disclosed in major newspapers in advance.

As long as you are interested in applying, you can easily get this information and know what to expect.

"Because this job is special, you are outside of the basic junior research assistant related treatment. Special allowances are also available. The amount of this special subsidy is set by me, and it is tentatively set at five gold coins per person per month. Adjust it later depending on the situation. Of course, if you perform well, I will not be stingy with additional bonuses. In addition, because you belong to the Chamber of Commerce, all the food and lodging working outside will be handled by the Chamber of Commerce, so you don't have to worry about it. How's that going? That's a good pay, isn't it?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison.

The base salary of a junior research assistant at the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is as high as twenty-five gold coins per month. Coupled with the subsidy of five gold coins, that is, the monthly salary income is thirty gold coins.

Although this income is not the highest in the current Sainz continent, it can be regarded as the highest.

The most important thing is that, compared with other chambers of commerce on the mainland, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has an excellent reputation for decades and the most promising development prospects. Entering the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the brightest choice for the future.

This is much more important than having a few or even a dozen gold coins a month.

What's more, Master Akali also said that all the problems of food and accommodation will be solved by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which can save them a lot of money and energy, which can be regarded as another form of income.

Overall, the treatment is satisfactory enough.

The man who had just opened his mouth to ask about the treatment lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and then sat down again.

Everyone looked at him, and he explained with a slight blush: "With such treatment, I think my wife should agree to let me leave my parents for half a year......

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

After doing it for a long time, this guy is still a strict wife.

Lucian smiled as he couldn't help but look around him again at the people who had passed the test like him.

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that he took a closer look, he found that among the twenty or so people, not all of them were students who had just graduated from the academy like him, many of them were obviously older, and even one of them had a few gray hairs.

Hearing the man's explanation, Akali couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, as long as you feel that you can accept this arrangement, then of course I welcome it. This job requires a lot of manpower, and it would be good to have an additional qualified assistant. ”

Because of the previous repentance, now only one person is left who wants to quit.

Everyone turned their eyes to him, and the man gritted his teeth, and after a while he made up his mind, he sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Master Akali, my parents are old, and I can't leave home for a long time. ”

Akali nodded, "No need to say sorry to me. It's a good thing that you're willing to take care of your parents' situation. With that, he turned to look at the others. "Even if it's you, I suggest that you all seriously reconsider whether you can really accept being away for half a year or even a year. You know, this time you're not going hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, you're going to thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers away. So be sure to think it through. ”

The crowd fell silent.

The reason for the man's time just now also shook them a little.

Indeed, although the transportation on the continent of Sainz is far more convenient than before, people no longer need to be confined to one place for the rest of their lives as before, and it is difficult to travel far.

But running thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers away in one breath is not very acceptable.

"Well, I didn't ask you to agree immediately. The official list will probably wait until next week. So you guys have a few days to think about it. ”

Akali waved to a staff member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who had been standing behind her, and the staff member took out a lot of documents and handed them out to everyone.

"Here are some brief introductions about the job, and some of the requirements I made. If you take a good look at it in the past few days, and feel that you can accept and meet my requirements, give me a clear answer in a few days. If not...... Well...... It's better to decide as soon as possible, so as not to miss this open recruitment of the Chamber of Commerce. Akali added.

With that, Akali made a gesture to end the conversation.

Everyone immediately got up, saluted Akali in unison, and then left the conference room with their own materials.

Just as Lucian was about to leave. Akali suddenly spoke again.

"By the way, Lucian, you stay. ”

The others cast envious or jealous glances at Lucian, and then they retreated.

After only Lucian and Akali and the others were left in the conference room, the mysterious girl who had been sitting next to Akali and had kept her head down and did not speak looked up at Lucian.

"I didn't expect you to come, I thought you would be as reluctant to come as those angry children. ”

Same as when I saw her before. There was a hint of happiness in her tone, and there was a smile in her eyes. But there is no smile on his face, and it looks very strange.

Lucian looked at her with a complicated expression for a moment, hesitated, walked over, and bowed deeply to her.

"I'm sorry. And also...... Thank you. ”

The girl seemed a little surprised by Lucian's actions and paused. Then there was a brisk and energetic laugh.

"Looks like you've finally figured it out. Very good, I like young people like you who can make mistakes and correct them. ”

Lucian looked up at her with a strange expression.

This girl is obviously not much older than herself from the outside, why does she always like to call herself and the group of students last time young people, as if she is very old?

"Freya. Are you just implying that I'm old when you say that someone else is young in front of me?"

The girl giggled, "Aunt Akali, you said it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me." Besides, she's a few years younger than me, so of course I'm going to call her a young man. ”

"You, don't learn from your father for everything, you look old-fashioned at such a young age, what will you do in the future?"

"Okay, you said that my father is old-fashioned, be careful I tell him to go. ”

"He's not going to pay attention to you. Akali shook her head, turned her head to look at Lucian who was in a daze, and smiled, "I'm sorry, I patronized the two of us talking." Lucian, you specifically mentioned it by Freya last time, so I'm going to pay more attention to you this time. Judging from the situation you just assessed, you have a very solid foundation, and you have very good practical skills, and you are also creative. It's rare, and I hope you can keep it up in the future. ”

Lucian nodded vigorously.

"Thank you for your teachings, I will. ”

"Well, I don't have much to say, it's just that Freya was glad to see you here, so she left you behind to see what she had to say to you. ”

Lucian looked at the mysterious girl known as Freya in amazement.

Freya smiled and waved her hand: "I don't have anything to say. Last time, I found out that you have good talents, and I don't want you to be buried, so I recommend you to apply for a job at our chamber of commerce. Now that you're here and have passed Aunt Akali's assessment, that's fine. I hope you will be able to work well under Aunt Akali in the future. Well...... Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't look at Aunt Akali who looks gentle on the outside, but she's actually very strict, you have to be careful. ”

"What nonsense!" Akali glared at Freya, then turned to Lucian and shook her head with a smile. "You have a few days to think about it, and I hope you will give me an answer that satisfies me. ”

Seeing that Akali indicated that she intended to end the conversation, Lucian nodded, bowed to the two of them, and then withdrew.

After leaving the conference room, Lucian walked as he thought back to the conversation he had just had, and he always felt that something was wrong.

After a long moment, he suddenly stopped abruptly, his eyes wide and his face full of shock.

"Celestial!Freya?Isn't that ......" (To be continued......
