Chapter 195: Patrol Monk
After Qin Wen listened to Lu Mo's explanation, he also dispelled the idea of refining the pill to make a profit, not to mention that refining the pill had less contact with the outside world, and it took a lot of time, the most important thing was that Qin Wen now had no shortage of spirit stones on his body, and the time for cultivation was something that spirit stones could not buy.
Then Zheng Pu also went to the magic shop to take a look at the price of the spirit rune, compared with the elixir, the low price of the spirit rune made Zheng Pu feel cold, just now Zheng Pu also listened to what Lu Mo said, knowing that the spirit rune and the pill are the same reason, compared with the pill can restore vitality and temporary first aid, the spirit rune is even more chicken.
Walking out of the magic weapon shop, Zheng Pu also looked a little listless, Qin Wen already had a general opinion on the price of the expulsion city in his heart, in general, it seems that the price of items in the expulsion city is more than twice that of the outside, of course, twice is limited to the items that can be produced here, if it is brought from the outside, it will start at least ten times, of course, this is also one of the reasons for the high price of elixir.
After turning two streets, Qin Wen saw that there were a large number of monks gathered by a dirty canal in the city, all of them were standing bored by the canal, and some were still pranayama cross-legged in the middle of the noise, most of the people were looking at the road outside, Qin Wen couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lu Mo, what are these people doing?"
When Lu Mo heard Qin Wen's question, he slowed down and said: "These are odd jobs to be hired, as long as you give them spirit stones, they can do anything, when the expulsion monks in Dongcheng first arrived, if the spirit stones on their bodies are spent, they will come here to try their luck, maybe they have met a haode employer, and the spirit stones they earn are enough to spend for a while." ”
Qin Wen pondered for a moment and said, "What about the price of these hired laborers?"
Lu Mo shook his head and said, "I've been out of here for a long time, and I don't know what the price is now, if Danshi needs manpower." I can go and ask. ”
Seeing Qin Wen nodding, Lu Mo didn't ask Qin Wen what to do, so he went straight to a recliner by the bridge of the canal, and after chatting casually with the monk on the chaise longue, Lu Mo returned to Qin Wen's side and said, "I asked just now, the monk in the Xuan Disciple Period has two lower grade spirit stones every day. Monks in the Xuanshi period have two medium-grade spirit stones per day, and if they are hired for a long time, the price can be negotiated. ”
"However, if you do something dangerous, such as hunting, seeking revenge, etc., it depends on whether the monk himself agrees or not, and even if he agrees, he will need to increase his salary several times at the very least. ”
Qin Wen nodded, these prices were about the same distance from what he had imagined, it seemed that in the City of Expulsion or the monk was the cheapest. A life may not be worth a single elixir transported from the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, so he asked Lu Mo with some doubts, "What did that person on the recliner do just now?"
Lu Mo replied in a low voice: "Those people are lobbyists who introduce and hire monks, if you want to hire a monk, it is best to spend some spirit stones for him to choose in the middle, in this way, you can pay half of the monk first, and then pay the other half after what you have done." ”
"After having a lobbyist in the middle. Employers don't have to worry about not getting paid, and employers don't have to worry about employees taking half of their pay. These are all covered by lobbyists. ”
Qin Wen nodded and said, "Then if you hire a monk, how much will he take from the middle?"
Lu Mo thought for a while and said: "I also have some impressions of this before, at the current price, it is estimated that if you hire a Xuantu-stage monk, you need to pay a gold ingot, and a Xuanshi-stage monk needs to give the lobbyist a low-grade spirit stone, these are the money they earn." ”
Zheng Pu asked with some confusion beside him at this time: "Then why is there no monk in the Xuanshi period here to be hired here?"
Lu Mo shook his head and said, "In the City of Expulsion." The monks of the Xuanshi realm don't need to be these hired workers, if they don't have spirit stones, they can go to some mansions to do stewards and the like, even if they don't want to look at people's eyes, they can also go to patrol and be on duty. There is also a regular income every month. ”
"Patrol duty?" Qin Wen couldn't help but ask curiously, "This sounds like an errand in the official mansion, does there also an army in this expulsion city?"
Lu Mo shook his head and said: "There is no army in the Expulsion City, in this place, the place where it intersects with the outside world is a desert, and there are no special spiritual objects in it, the only thing that is not the northern border of the desert is the spiritual energy crack that leads to the Demon Realm, and it is useless to ask for an army, and the patrol I am talking about is the monks who maintain law and order in the East City." ”
"Whether it is in the east city, the west city, or the north city, there are several big families in control, if there is a problem that needs to be solved, there are also a series of laws, such as not allowing people to be hurt in the city, if someone violates it, they need to patrol to arrest, which is also an existence to maintain this status quo in the city. ”
Qin Wen nodded, a city like this has long passed that kind of extensive development, and it is normal for some big families to make these regulatory adjustments for their own interests, at this time they have already walked across the stone bridge on the canal, Lu Mo continued to speak: "These monks who manage patrols are all elected by several families, although they all act according to the rules, but they will also take into account the interests of the major families. ”
Qin Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then do these patrol monks have the entire Expulsion City, or are they divided into three parts, east, west, and north like the region?"
Lu Mo thought for a moment and said, "When I was here, the patrol monks were all patrolling the whole city, and now I don't know if this rule has changed. ”
At this point, he whispered to the two gray-robed monks, "These two are the patrol monks, and they carry the patrol token around their waists. Qin Wen followed his fingers and looked over, only to see that the patrol monk who was walking from his side was both a beginner of the Xuan Master, and there was indeed the token that Lu Mo said on his waist.
Wherever the two of them went, many monks walking on the road avoided them one after another, it seemed that these patrol monks were still relatively deterrent, Qin Wen couldn't help but have an idea at this time, so he asked Lu Modao: "What are the requirements for this patrol monk?"
Lu Mo shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I just heard that it was a monk in the Xuanshi realm, but we can go and ask, the patrol monk camp in Dongcheng should be near here, I remember going west from the water canal, and then crossing a street, there is a hillside there, and under the hillside is the camp of the patrol monk." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the hillside behind the street in front of him and said, "This is the hillside, and you can reach it through the street in front." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said, "Then let's go and have a look, I think if I or Ao Yu can be a patrol monk, the safety of our people will be guaranteed to a certain extent in the future, and besides, we can understand the city of expulsion faster, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." ”
Qin Wen thought about it for a while, and said easily: "Qin Danshi, in fact, you are the most suitable for this patrol monk, you can walk around in the city of expulsion at will when you are on duty, even if the demon cultivators of the Exorcism Gorge follow here, they can't fix your exact location, plus there are also some demon cultivators among the patrol monks, which further disrupts their search." ”
Qin Wen took Lu Mo, Zheng Pu, and En Ning to a small hillside in the city, and sure enough, he saw rows of barracks built under the hillside, and there was an isolated open space outside the barracks, which should distinguish the patrol monks from ordinary houses, and there were two gray-shirted monks standing upright at the intersection of the barracks.
Lu Mo whispered to Qin Wen: "These two monks are the safety of the barracks on duty, if you want to inquire about the news, you can ask them." ”
Qin Wen approached the two monks and said with a smile: "Two patrol brothers, I want to ask where to sign up if you want to join the patrol monks?"
One of the monks with a slightly dark face looked Qin Wen up and down, and saw that he had the realm of the first level of a Xuanshi, so he nodded and said, "You go in from here, the house in the middle of the first row is the room of the captain of the patrol battalion, if you want to join the patrol monks, go to that room, but you can only go alone, several of them are low-level monks and cannot enter." ”
Qin Wen nodded in thanks, then turned around and said to Zheng Pu and Lu Mo, asking them to wait nearby with Erning, and then he walked into the barracks and came to the room of the captain of the patrol camp.
Qin Wen stood still and said, "I want to join the patrol monks, does the captain live here?"
The young monk nodded and said, "You wait here for a while, and I'll go in and ask the captain." As he spoke, just the moment he turned around, Qin Wen's heart moved, and he shook his body to stop him, and just when the young monk was a little confused, Qin Wen casually took out a high-grade spirit stone and stuffed it into his hand, and said in a low voice: "I hope my brother can say a few kind words in front of the captain." ”
The young monk looked down at the spirit stone in his hand, the look of surprise on his face was fleeting, and he casually rolled into his cuffs, nodded and said to Qin Wen: "Don't worry, Daoyou, the patrol battalion has not been full during this time, and Daoyou's affairs must be fine." ”
Not long after the young monk walked into the room, he walked out again, and then said to Qin Wen, "The captain will let you in." Just as Qin Wen nodded and walked to the young monk's side, Qin Wen suddenly heard a loud voice: "The captain's temper is a little explosive, just follow it after you go in." ”
Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that it was the young monk who was reminding him, so he nodded and smiled at him, indicating that he had understood, and then walked into the captain's room. (To be continued......)
