After listening to Cambrona's introduction, Hopps pondered for a while and said, "If the Gold Coin Federation fights a civil war, it will only fight on the border line between the north and the south. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info We are on a business trip to an area close to our republic, and we are still going to the wilderness...... Supposedly, it's not too risky, right?"

He really wants to earn that business trip subsidy, and it is said that since the Gold Coin Federation will find foreign aid, then there should be a mineral vein in the local area. In other words, as long as the exploration team is performing normally, it is estimated that a subsidy of five times the salary is indispensable.

As a "big fieldmate" for field work, the salary of exploration workers is inherently high. If you can get five times the salary, it is really a high income.

This is just like on the earth, the wages of prospectors are generally higher - Sui Xiong's hometown has a neighbor's child who went to school, graduated two years earlier than him, not long before he crossed over, when he was chatting with the elders in the family, he just talked about this eldest brother, and the family now gets a salary of 6,000 a month, which is more than twice that of Sui Xiong, a storekeeper.

Of course, Sui Xiong doesn't envy the eldest brother, because he still has an illustrator's income, as an illustrator who mixes well, his income is much higher than that of the library management, if everyone compares all the income, the eldest brother is afraid that he will have to sleep outside all year round, so he may be similar to him.

However, if the eldest brother goes to an extremely difficult and dangerous place such as the Himalayas or Antarctica, the income is better than that of him -- that kind of field work is done for half a year and half a year, unlike when he rushes to write late at night and has little rest throughout the year.

The North-Western Republic has a high subsidy for exploration fieldwork, better than on Earth. This is, of course, because skilled workers are scarce, and the work is more risky - in this world, there are no as good labor security and expedition equipment as on Earth, and it is unlikely that mages who are not physically strong will go with them. Once something happens, it is really called every day, the earth is not spiritual, and it is common to bury bones in the wilderness.

Hopps didn't seem to need to worry too much about the risks right now. He is alone now, he feeds the whole family without starvation, even if he dies outside, it is nothing, anyway, his parents and relatives have already treated him as dead when he left home alone, and he himself is the same, as if he was dead. If it weren't for the mistake of saying his last name, he would have planned to forget his last name.

For him now, the most important thing is to save money. Save money to buy a house, then get married, start a family, and have children.

What happened to the former family has nothing to do with him. He wanted to start his own family, a family of workers who had been built on technology for generations.

So even though there might be a risk of war, he still wanted to do that job.

Listening to his inquiry, Cambrona and Jane looked at each other and fell silent.

After a while, Jane said, "If you're not afraid of risk, this is a good job." But...... The stakes are not as low as you might think. ”

Hops was stunned and looked at her a little nervously.

"I just pondered what if I were an aristocratic person. The merchant faction is fighting with me, and they are cooperating with the Northwest Republic, so what am I going to do? Of course I'm going to mess up this cooperation. The easiest way to do this is for me to send someone to kill all the people sent by the Northwest Republic. No matter what the Northwest Republic thinks, if people die on the territory of the merchant faction, the merchant faction will always have to give an explanation. If you can't give an explanation, your relationship will definitely be affected. Jane recounted her speculation in a very calm tone, but a cold sweat gradually oozed from Hopus's back.

“...... This, as for ...... Is it that serious?" he stammered a little because of nervousness and worry.

"Maybe not, but to estimate things, we have to estimate from the worst direction. Jane shook her head and said calmly, "After all, if you miscalculate, you may die." ”

Hoppes was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"It seems that this work is still not done, and it is more practical to do it safely. ”

"Not necessarily, wealth and danger are sought. Cambrona suddenly spoke, "People live in the world, and there are always all kinds of risks. So the risk is not scary, the scary thing is to take the risk without the reward. Although the risks of your work this time are very high, every risk is rewarding - if the killers of the aristocratic faction attack you, as long as you can survive the attack, the merchant faction will inevitably give you a large sum of money as compensation. ”

"But how can I survive the assassination of a professional killer?" Hopps asked with a wry smile, "My skills are limited, and at the top of the sky, I am only at the level of a novice adventurer." ”

"I am sure that the government will arrange adequate protection for you. "There's no reason why the big guys can't think of things we can think of." Since they want to cooperate with the merchant faction, they can't let you die over there. At that time, it is likely that there will be two groups of light and dark manpower protection on your side, and the protection will definitely be very strong. ”

Jane's opinion was the opposite of that of her husband: "But, what we can think of, the leaders of the aristocratic faction can think of as well." Since they sent out the Assassins, they would make sure that they had enough destructive power. Even in the face of two groups of light and dark bodyguards, they can kill and injure some people - Hopus may be in this "part of the people". ”

Hoppes was torn by what they said, his eyebrows furrowed and furrowed, and he couldn't make up his mind.

After dinner, he went back to his dormitory, where he lay on the bed, still thinking.

To go, or not to go?

If you go, the benefits are great, and the risks are also great. But as Big Cambrona said, the benefits are worth the risks. Honestly, it's worth risking even your life for the sake of great benefits.

However, the thought of "life in danger" made him shudder a little.

Death or something, it's terrible!

Although during the day, he thought more than once that "death is actually nothing to be afraid of". But at this moment, in the dead of night, he was lying alone in bed, and he couldn't help but tremble at the thought that he might die in the Gold Coin Federation.

Terrible!

"You're really useless!" he said to himself, "I obviously think about not being afraid, I obviously think that it doesn't matter if I die, but why are you scared again!"

This contradictory mentality is actually related to his bloodline, he has half fox blood and half rabbit blood, the fox is a very cunning and fierce branch of the orcs, although they are usually keen to solve problems with wisdom and conspiracy, but when necessary, they are not afraid of danger, and there is no fear of the sword;

Hopps has both bloodlines, during the day, the ferocity of the fox clan in his nature prevails, but when he is alone in bed in the dead of night, the cowardice of the rabbit clan in his nature emerges.

It took a long time for him to slowly compose, sigh deeply, and fall asleep.

That night, he had many nightmares, some dreaming that he was at risk in the exploration, dying in an earthquake, a landslide, falling off a cliff, or a monster attack in the wild, and dreaming that he was assassinated by the nobles of the Gold Coin Federation without encountering an accident while exploring, but he did not dream that everything was going well.

But the next day, during the day, as he walked down the street, among the crowds, the brave side of his nature prevailed again.

"Big Brother Cambrona is right, in life, you always have to take some risks!" he convinced himself.

So, taking the appointment and simple luggage, he went to the city hall to collect the travel expenses, and boarded the bus to Pyroxene City. (To be continued.) )
