Chapter 12: The Future of Work
Saying goodbye to Diboshan, Luenna was walking alone in a dark alley, when suddenly two tall figures silently landed behind her, and she stopped.
"Whoosh." The two men in the shadows bow on one knee as a sign of greatest obedience.
"Female ......," one of them was just about to speak, when Lu Lu turned to stare at him, with a slightly serious and helpless look in her eyes. And seeing her expression, the person also realized something, and quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry Miss...... The request has been sent...... But is that really good? Is that human really worth it? Protected by the eldest lady, who also allows her to talk to you by the most affectionate name of my clan? ”
"He ......," Shanluenna's expression exuded a gentle brilliance, and her eyes were full of fascination and appreciation: "He is so kind and upright. The only human on the playing field who didn't kill and torture others. And persevered to the end. Can you do this kind of thing? ”
"If I had been fighting against opponents of the same class in that environment, I really wouldn't have been able to do it." The man replied crisply, without thinking, but then his tone changed, and he continued: "But with all due respect, Miss. That's just what he can do now. The place where he lives is remote and desolate, and most of the people he comes into contact with are not thoughtful. And after a long time of contact with other humans, I am afraid that he will become as savage and violent as them...... Even if he can keep his original intention, it is only a very small part of the human race. ”
"So we have to protect his people and his heart, don't we? Maybe that's why the goddess sent a miracle to get us here. Speaking of this, she crossed her arms in prayer and pleaded: "May the Goddess of Exaltation and Holiness guide us in the way forward." ”
The two men said no more and prayed, "For the glory of the Goddess......"
On the other side, after saying goodbye to Sanluena, Dipo followed Fude through the portal to Fude's residence - although it is still a civilian area, it is already very close to the aristocratic area, so the prosperity is also self-evident, and the neat and bright houses are lined up along the street, although it is not as luxurious and noble as the aristocratic district, it is also very different from what Dibo just saw.
"It's just for me from above. I've only lived there for less than half a year. But this year's competition is coming to an end. It's likely to be taken back right away. So there was nothing to buy. As he spoke, Fode opened the door, and at first glance the whole hall was a little empty, except for a table and a bookshelf, and in the kitchen next to it, there was only a simple stove and a cupboard, and finally the two rooms in the back room had nothing but a bed in each.
"Above allocation? Withdraw? At first, Depo thought it was Fude's home, but he couldn't help but be a little confused when he said that.
"yes. In fact, when the students of the regular academy pass the championship selection competition, the empire will reward them according to their performance and assign some work. For example, I was a qualified student the year before. Assigned guards, portal keepers, including the current referee, patrol captain, etc. At the same time, the workplace is not fixed, and it is subject to change from time to time. I had been assigned to work at Silas for the previous six months. Although I have been changing places, my work is not fixed, but after all, it is the place arranged above, and the safety is more or less guaranteed. There are special patrols and guards all around. Saying that, Verra opened the chair and motioned for Dipo to sit down and go to the kitchen to get something, but he continued to explain to Dipo: "Actually, I want a qualified student like me to be content if he can have no worries about food and clothing. However, for many commoners and even nobles who are confident in their abilities, passing the assessment is the best way to make a name for themselves in the empire. ”
"Ah...... It feels like it's so troublesome. Listening to Fude's description, Dipo felt a big head, and the agreement with his father was to get ahead through the assessment. But now that he knew that he was going to be assigned the kind of work that seemed unattainable and uncontrollable to him, how could he not make it difficult.
By this time, Frede had come out of the kitchen with a vegetable salad and half a bottle of red wine in his hands for dinner, and he heard Dipo's complaint, and he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I forgot that you are not a student of the academy, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Since you have agreed to your father's request, they must have made some arrangements. ”
With that, he placed the food in his hand on the table and prepared to give Dipo a little. However, Dipo waved his hand in thanks, smiled and politely declined.
First Fode had provided himself with a relatively safe place to live, and he was already grateful, and was somewhat reluctant to share his food.
The second is that he is not used to eating urban food like salad and red wine.
He took out the cloth bag and had some leftover dry food that he had bought along the way, untied the water bladder around his waist and ate it. (End of Chapter 12)
