Chapter 12 Remuneration
In their eyes, Ram, who can manipulate vines, is naturally a powerful magic chanter. For a strong man like Ram, the reward that needs to be paid is naturally a huge amount of money, and it will be a heavy burden for the people who have just experienced the endgame of the destruction of their homeland, but they have no choice.
Suddenly, Ram spoke, and it easily touched everyone's hearts.
"I am a professional who studies magic, and I have been following Master and traveling all over the world, and I have just arrived in this country."
Ram looked at the villagers with gloomy faces and forced smiles to speak slowly.
"And I am not short of money, so I will not ask you too much for it. And I can also allow you to make IOUs and pay on credit. ”
When they heard this just now, everyone's faces couldn't help but be happy, and the burden in their hearts felt a little lighter.
During the previous battle, the women and children of the village fled for their lives, while the men of the village stayed behind to fight to the death against the knights of the empire to delay time.
At that time, naturally no one went out of their way to protect the safety of their property.
Now that they are no longer in a life-threatening situation, it is natural that they have to think about how to continue their lives and think about money.
The wheat fields were burned, and seventy or eighty men were killed in nearly a thousand households in the village, and so many things had been lost in their homes.
The villagers had sad faces, and they didn't know what to do with the matter. It would have been better if Ram had been willing to let them give less, or pay in installments, and take a break.
This is still among the villagers, the strong middle-aged man who is in the lead stands up, and he speaks again.
"My lord, with our current situation......"
Before he could finish speaking, Ram interrupted the middle-aged man with a wave of his hand.
Ram's attitude was amiable: "I have also witnessed the tragic situation of your homeland. Naturally, I will not embarrass you and leave you homeless. ”
Then he said another sentence, but it made everyone's faces change constantly.
"But having said that, it's not free. If the villagers survive, I will be paid the equivalent of the value of those people! You can also offset this with intelligence. If I judge the intelligence to be valuable, I will waive some of the remuneration. ”
When the middle-aged man in the lead saw this, he already knew that this was already the best result. They don't have a choice, and if they don't know how to advance or retreat, it would be foolish to bargain with Ram.
He quietly glanced at the crowd.
"Thank you very much for your tolerance and understanding, our savior!!"
Suddenly, a tall, thin, monkey-looking man jumped out of the crowd. He took the lead and thanked Ram sincerely.
Immediately afterwards, the villagers in the central square echoed one after another, and different voices of thanks were heard endlessly.
……
It was late at night, and the blue moon did not show her cheeks.
A thick cloud obscured the moonlight above the village.
The shadows and darkness are like a curtain covering this ruined village.
The village was brightly lit, and the knights' whimpering pain, and the villagers' incessant sobs, were all hidden in Ram's keen sense.
Ram sat in his chair and looked around the hall where the guests were meeting.
This is the house of the middle-aged man, who is the head of this village.
There was little furniture in the room, except for a shabby wooden table and a few polished, shiny chairs.
The lamp on the table was also fueled by kerosene, and Ram couldn't see anything special about it.
Ram's eyes flickered, and there was a woman standing in the kitchen at this time, she was the wife of the village chief.
There was a pot of water on the stove in the kitchen, and the constantly burning wood underneath it was constantly shooting crackling sparks.
Ram gently placed his right hand on the table again, and slowly pressed it, and the old wooden table began to sway from side to side, making a creaking and screeching sound.
After an afternoon of observation, Ram concluded that the village was very poor and backward.
Here he did not find any advanced products of civilization.
In Ram's eyes, this is a medieval Western village. It is completely invisible, and there is a slight trace of magic in the lives of the inhabitants.
But the world of cultivation is different, and the power of the cultivation civilization has penetrated into all aspects of the life of the entire human race.
When he was a child, he used a stove that used spirit stones as a heat source in winter. Save one province, and half a low-grade spirit stone can also be used for a month and a half.
He believes that the magic of this world, if it is not, is extremely low-end, and cannot be popularized in all aspects. Otherwise, the upper and lower levels of the magic system in this world are extremely divided, and it is a special system that cannot connect the civilization system at all, and the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak
This caused Ram to think deeply about the need to know more about the world.
Although according to the reactions of the knights and Jeremy's memory, he is also considered the strongest in this world.
But strength and weakness are relative, and Ram cannot guarantee that he is stronger than anyone in this world, and he must be cautious.
Even though, he could return to the original world through the White Jade Gate at any time. Ram should be even more cautious, and running away at any time has given him a huge cost of trial and error.
He must cherish every opportunity to cross in order to climb the peak. If he acts recklessly again and again, he will flee when he encounters an enemy who cannot be defeated, and he will eventually encounter a strong man who cannot resist, and then he can only be helpless.
"I've kept you waiting."
The village chief pushed open the creaking door and entered, and he finally finished the tedious work.
There were still blood stains on the corners of the village chief's clothes, and he restrained the anger on his face and smiled at Ram.
It was difficult for Ram to estimate the village chief's actual age from his face, his age was too difficult to judge.
For he had just been out for an hour, and he seemed to have lost his spirit, his hair had become a little grayer, and he seemed older.
"Please use tea."
The village chief's wife poured boiling water into a brown porcelain cup and handed it to Ram.
Ram took the cup, and the boiling water made the rough cup look hot in all directions.
It seems that science and technology have not made much progress in this world, Ram is thinking.
"Thank you, you specially prepared boiling water for me."
Ram's thanks made them sincerely frightened, and they were shocked by this.
"You're so kind!! It is our pleasure to do this for you. ”
Looking at the couple's skillful apology, their approach to professionals appears to be very mature. It seems that the professionals in this world are not only powerful, but also should have a fairly high status among ordinary people.
But that's not surprising to Ram at all. Whether it is in the cultivation world or in the previous life, the strong will be in a high position.
What's more, it's definitely a good thing that the person being discussed can show a friendly attitude.
So, in the conversation with the village chief, Ram, who had the initiative, got a lot of information, and a thousand copper coins, and an IOU of 1,500 copper coins.
Inside the room.
The clouds drifted away, and the moon, which had just shown its face, cast its blue moonlight through the small window and cast it on the ground.
Ram sat cross-legged on a rough bed made of rough wood. He looked at the blue square spots on the ground and quietly thought about his future plans.
"Everything in this world has a cost, even breathing. I want to borrow the resources of this world to become stronger, but naturally resources cannot come out of thin air. I have to find a way to make a profit from the resources that people in this world have in common, and no resources will be delivered to my door. ”
It is difficult for one person to achieve something, and Ram has not yet reached the realm of turning things upside down. When he develops the resources of this world alone, he is naturally not as good as everyone else.
Ram learned from his previous conversation with the village chief that in the Bertus Kingdom of this world, many of the strong are adventurers, and the nobles are not weak.
Whether it is an adventurer or a nobleman, their strength is already a well-known fact in this world, and they have obviously completed the logical self-consistency of the cultivation system.
They must have a more efficient cultivation method or a way to directly obtain a large amount of magic essence, otherwise how would they form a complete civilization country.
If it is true that as Jeremy remembered before searching for souls, killing is faster than all ways to become stronger, then everyone can directly engage in a world-scale battle royale, and no one can escape from this vortex unless they become the strongest. But looking at the situation, it is clear that this is not the case.
Thinking of this, Ram was worried.
If Ram cultivates to reach the Yuan Infant, his combat power will be strong and he will destroy the world. Naturally, don't say a word, grab it and leave. God blocks and kills God and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!
If it is the Purple Mansion, the means are abundant, you can steal and steal, and escape into the space of the Purple Mansion, without knowing it. It's a pity that he only has to build a foundation and cultivate now......
So what he needs most now is nothing else, but a reasonable identity that can enter this circle.
What Ram needs is to reach out to the strong people in this world, not garbage.
Like today, during the day, the strongest of the group of knights Ram met was the chief knight among them. In the memory of Knight Jeremy, his captain was a fourth-order professional, and he was already able to ride a thousand.
However, what Ram didn't expect was that guy had an aura equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Qi Training Period. turned out to be a good thing, and in the face of his attack, he couldn't even fight back.
"It seems that after entering the city with the village chief, I will be busy for a while." Ram's eyes twinkled.
The village chief told Ram that each knight had an imperial medal engraved on his wrist armor, and that these knights could be used as prisoners of war to go to the cities near the village to receive a reward issued by the lord of Ranieri himself.
I think that the Lord of Laline should be quite willing to make friends with a strong man, otherwise Ram would only let him have a good taste of the methods of the cultivation realm.
Since ancient times, everything has been difficult at the beginning, as long as you follow this opportunity and find an entry point in this world, all difficulties will eventually be solved.
Thinking of this, Ram didn't hesitate any longer, stood up, and climbed out the window.
Looked for a place to roast some animal meat to eat.
I don't know if there will be people from the empire in this place, Ram still can't cultivate with peace of mind, but in order to cherish the time, it won't make time pass in vain.
Ram eats some roast animal meat, and the enhanced effect is better than nothing!
