Chapter 59: Negotiations

Kevin was puzzled, he already knew that Little Spoon was the daughter of the Assassin Guild Leader, ranked one hundred, that is, the last place in the Assassin Guild. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But no matter what, it shouldn't be to the point of being downcast to the point of carrying firewood on your back. Could it be that you are performing some task at this time?

In this way, the little spoon is also useful if he didn't see Kevin. Kevin didn't bother to greet her.

Still walking straight forward, into a villa, under the guidance of the servant on the side, all the way to the study, the Count of Gouled sat in the middle, with a book on the table, and the sunlight behind him through the large glazed windows, which looked a little mottled. Glass products are still very expensive things, can be used as windows at home, there is no doubt that this family is illustrious, extraordinary.

After the servant brought Kevin with him, he immediately withdrew and brought him to the door. There were two people in the room, Kevin and the earl, and Kevin coughed dryly: "Hello Lord Earl, I am here to apply for a tutor." ”

"Kevin," the Count said with a blank expression, "who introduced you?"

Kevin was stunned, he didn't remember his name, how did he feel as if the other party knew him. But when you think about it, Kevin, as a bard, is also a public figure after all, and there are more people who know him, so it's not too strange.

"I got the notice myself and came over. "Kevin certainly can't say that the Assassins introduced him.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it," the Count continued to read, bowing his head, "and it's easy to look up." ”

"Uh......" Kevin was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I personally think that I can definitely be qualified for the position of tutor." I have been traveling for 10 years, I have seen a lot of things, and I am proficient in many countries and multi-ethnic languages. I have a lot of hours in literature, art, history, mathematics, politics, etc. At the same time, I was also an officer, and when I was in the country of Leibzier, the ambassador of the country of Leibozier also affirmed me. ”

The Earl just glanced at him: "You are good as a soldier in Saka, why are you running to the capital if you have nothing to do?"

Kevin wondered how he knew he was in Saka City. Could it be that yesterday I was debating with 26 people?

"To be honest, I've been short of money lately," Kevin was silent for a moment, and simply told the truth, "I hope to get some money as soon as possible, and I have some difficulties at the moment." At least until December. ”

"You want to renovate your catapult?" said the Count nonchalantly.

Kevin: "......"

The Earl was still reading carelessly, but Kevin was already terrified. The other party even knew that he was going to renovate the catapult, and this intelligence gathering was a bit scary.

"Why don't you speak?" said the Earl.

"Yes. Kevin can only admit that he hasn't done anything wrong anyway, "There is a lack of military spending, and I have no ability as a newcomer, so I can only come out and figure out a way by myself." ”

"How much do you want?" asked the Earl.

"Thousands...... to tens of thousands......" Kevin didn't dare to speak.

"Do you think I'll give it?" said the Earl, still looking down at the book.

"Has the Earl hired any other tutors, can you please let me know about the students first?" Kevin is a doer.

"Don't you ask if I'll give it?" said the Earl, still bowing his head, "and if I don't give it in the end, you're not busy in vain?"

Kevin was silent for a moment, but still replied: "Lord Earl knows so much about me, so he should know me better. I don't have much skills, and even if the tavern argues wildly, it's only a few silver coins. The bounty thief can't be beaten, the urinal can't be picked up, and now that I have such an opportunity, I have to try. The Earl can get a probationary period first, depending on the situation, and then pay the honorarium. ”

"Did you know that there is a way to keep changing people, and then keep people in the probationary period, and the boss uses this method to escape the honorarium? The Count was very direct.

"I know. Kevin replied, "But I believe the Earl is not such a person." ”

"How do you know?" the Count looked up, "maybe that's the kind of person I am." ”

Kevin: "......"

After a moment of silence, Kevin asked again: "Lord Earl doesn't seem to care if students can really get a good education?" From the dialogue to the present, the Earl's words are obviously a bit xenophobic, as if he is deliberately squeezing Kevin. But if you really don't like Kevin, just blast it away. If you like it, then you should naturally talk about the situation of the students, the situation of the teaching materials, and so on. What the hell is this talking about for a long time?

"I heard you've written a book?" said the Count again.

"Yes. Kevin nodded.

"What's the name?" asked the Earl.

"The Assassins," Kevin replied, "I've been writing it for a while. ”

"Writing about assassins? The Count replied, "Is the protagonist an Assassin?" or the Assassin President?"

Kevin was surprised how he chatted and talked about his novel, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only answer truthfully: "The protagonist is indeed an assassin, but in the end he did not serve as the assassin president." ”

"The protagonist didn't even become the president in the end?" the count seemed a little surprised, "Could it be that the original Assassin leader survived to the end?"

"Yes. Kevin replied.

"Is the Assassin Guild strong?" the Count asked casually.

Kevin was slightly stunned, feeling that the other party seemed to be deliberately leading the topic in this direction, and I am afraid that the only person who has entanglement in the plot of the assassin president is the real assassin president himself. Could it be that this count is actually the Assassin Guild? Kevin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of this, although he had seen the Assassin Guild once last time, but that time he was in a masked state, and he hadn't seen his true face yet.

But when I thought about it again, Little Spoon, as the daughter of the Assassin President, was actually holding firewood, which was a little incomprehensible.

"Why don't you speak?" urged the Count.

"The Assassin President was a very wise man in my writing, he was brave and resourceful, and he could endure what ordinary people could not endure, so he became the Assassin President. Kevin was even a little nervous.

Earl: "......"

"Ahem," Kevin chuckled, "Actually, I've been worried about whether or not I'm going to invite assassinations, because some of the plots may be misinterpreted. But I've lived so far, and it can be seen that the Assassin President is also a very generous person. Ha ha. ”

The room was silent, the Count still looked down at the book, and in the middle of the ring, the Count finally turned a page, and Kevin didn't dare to urge, so he stood and waited.

Finally, after a long time, the Count spoke, "Since you are here, let's try it." The student is my niece, who is 10 years old. Next year is about to enter Wang Li College to study, so before the start of the semester, we are going to hire a few tutors for her to prepare. ”

Kevin was a little shocked: "10 years old?" As we all know, Wang Li Academy is generally 15 years old, and can only enter after a strict assessment. Even if I enter next year, I will start school at the age of 11, four years earlier.

"She is indeed recognized as a genius girl," replied the Earl, "and she has passed the level 2 mage certification at present, but in fact she has learned more than thirty kinds of magic, many of which she can learn at once, and she knows all four systems. Very rare. ”

Kevin nodded, secretly feeling pressured.

"Your task is to teach her some cultural subjects, and other practical aspects, I can have others teach them," the Count continued, "and there are also several textbooks that you can refer to." ”

Kevin took three books and flipped through them one by one, one for literature, one for mathematics, and one for Lane Chinese. It looks very basic.

"I've hired two tutors, both of whom are students of the Royal Academy, but neither of them is ideal," the Earl shook his head, "Actually, pre-school preparation is something that can be done or not. A real master won't come to teach her, even if she is a genius, there are many variables after school. Even if the master accepts apprentices, they usually wait until after graduation. ”

"So in fact, the position of tutor will not be too high, otherwise everyone will rush to do it, where will it be your turn?" the earl sneered.

Kevin sighed, but remained silent.

"How long are you going to be here, and will you go back to camp in the evening?" asked the Earl.

"Yes. Kevin frustrated, "Anyway, I've got to get a." ”

After that, the two discussed some specific matters, and the matter of letting Kevin be a tutor was settled, but it was only a probationary period, and he could be let out at any time if he made a mistake. Come over every morning, take care of a meal at noon, take care of a meal in the evening, and rush back after eating. The road expenses are self-paying, and there is no half-cent honorarium during the probationary period, only two meals are free.

And the earl specially reminded: "You can basically walk here casually during your tutoring period, but don't go to the kitchen!"

Coming out of the earl's study, Kevin couldn't help but wipe a sweat. The whole negotiation was a bit inexplicable, and the other party seemed to know everything, and everything was in the other party's hands. Kevin had to wonder if the assassin had let him come over, and if it was also a game. But after thinking about it, how can I be virtuous, Kevin's level can poke himself to death with a random person ranked 100, and he still needs to work hard to set up a game?

Anyway, Kevin decided to get to know his student first, but when he got to the door, Kevin backed away. The other party is a genius girl, and she must be arrogant, and since the little spoon is also here, she should find a way to contact her first and inquire about some things.

But after thinking about it again, the little spoon deliberately didn't know himself, so there must be something hidden, and it was obviously inappropriate to inquire directly. Anyway, the tutor was not in a hurry, and Kevin immediately wandered around the manor, trying to "meet" by chance.

As a result, he really "encountered" it, and saw the little spoon carrying a bundle of firewood from a distance, and the two looked at each other again, and the little spoon still walked forward as if nothing happened.

Kevin immediately stepped forward and broke a branch to the foot of the little spoon, "Girl, your firewood has fallen." ”

Little Spoon: "......"

"I'll pick it up for you. Kevin bent down to pick up the branch, approached the little spoon and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Lord Count," the little spoon bowed suddenly.

Kevin was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that the Count had stood behind him at some point, and immediately trembled with fright.

"Go, get on with your work," said the Earl casually to the little spoon, who immediately went away with the firewood on his back, leaving Kevin laughing dryly. The Count said nothing, and walked away.

Kevin wiped his sweat, this person was so strong that he couldn't understand it. You won't turn around and appear behind your back, will you?

Kevin hurriedly turned around, and there was no one. A few more steps, another turn, and still no one. Kevin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it was just a coincidence, right?

Turning around and preparing to go the way he came, he was shocked to find that the Earl was behind him.

"You turned around twice in a row, did you want to find me?" asked the Earl.

Kevin: "......"

"Let you teach, what are you messing around here?" the Count was a little displeased, "do you really want to be dismissed on the first day?"

"No, I'll go right away. Kevin hurriedly trotted away, looking embarrassed.
