"Master Tripwood."
After the first few magicians knew the detailed work content and remuneration, they directly rejected Lin's invitation. The last fat man, who was carefully tied with a golden tassel, had a flattering face and presented him with a tall hat upon meeting him.
How could Lin not be impressed by this conspicuous figure. It was during the first lecture two weeks ago that he helped Lin break through the crowd of people filling the tavern street, and he squeezed into the front row to listen to the fat man. Since we have met once, I have something to ask for, hoping that someone can help share the affairs of the college, so Lin said politely: "Friend, this is the second time we met. I really thanked you for your help last time."
"Oh, Master, you still remember me. This is really an honor."
"Hey, I'm not a master. I don't dare to be a master." After some humility, Lin looked at the recruitment resume. Since the recruitment is done in an official organization like the association, for a little extra money, the association will hand over the applicant's simple information to the employer, including the number of times the job has been completed and satisfactory responses from other employers. These are all related to the issue of whether the people who are recruited are worthy of trust. Some people will care, some people won't. Lin falls into the former category.
At least in the name column, it clearly says 'Eli Huber', an official magician. Other data includes some of the magic he is good at according to rumors and other people's evaluations of him. What caught Lin's attention was the person's mission completion experience. Most of the known parts were static missions, rather than life-and-death missions.
Although this was not the first time he had read this information, among the candidates Lin applied for this time, Eli Huber was indeed his favorite. However, he still asked: "Your Excellency Huber, do you know what this job involves? Do you have any questions about the content of the job?"
After all, it is impossible to write too detailed in Beita's recruitment notice. Therefore, such an interview is an opportunity for both parties to clarify the content of the agreement.
"Those are not important." Eli Huber smiled brightly: "Being close to you, Master, is the most important thing."
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing. To be honest, seeing the fat man's excessive behavior, Lin had already given him a discount in his heart. It's just that he is not a person who can hide his expression. He will inevitably frown and examine the purpose of the person in front of him.
Elihuber was also smart. Seeing such an expression, he immediately pretended to be apologetic and said, "Okay, I admit, the purpose of doing this is to have more opportunities to ask for advice. The content of p-slang. So it doesn’t matter how much I pay or how many children I teach, I just treat it as an exchange for the opportunity to ask you for advice.”
"Yeah." Is this answer a true thought? But Lin didn't plan to go into details. If the other party asked for something, it meant there would be corresponding contributions. What I fear most are the people who come here, who only want to cause trouble and hold us back. But Lin still asked one more question: "Are there no problems with the remuneration and working time?"
"No problem, Master Tripwood. As long as I have the opportunity to ask you for advice, those are just small things. But... you won't charge me extra for this." At the end, Eli Huber said Showing a feigned panic expression.
Lin didn't bother to expose the other party, just like when he was on Earth, he was hypocritical after working in society. He smiled and said: "Of course you have to pay for asking for advice from a master. Have you ever seen a master who is so cheap and kind to help others? But if it is a discussion between peers and you have to charge money, friends can I can’t do it anymore. What do you think?”
"Haha." After laughing twice awkwardly, Elihuber said, "Then...Your Excellency..."
"Just call me Guy Blasch." Lin stood up while packing up his things. He smiled and said to the familiar fat man: "Welcome to join the academy. Your Excellency Elihuber."
"Eli, Eli is all right, Mr. Gebrash." Eli Huber excitedly grabbed Lin's hand and shook it, his expression of joy overflowing from his expression. Just in time to let go of Lin's hand before he went crazy. The fat man, who tried his best to make friends, asked: "Then when will we go back to the academy?"
"Are you planning to go to work today?" Lin asked in surprise.
"Of course, it would be good for everyone to get familiar with the environment and the group of children early."
It was an irresistible reason. Lin shrugged and said, "Okay. I have to go back to the academy in the afternoon. It's still in the early stages of establishment, and there are still many things to be busy with. If you are willing to help, that would be great." .”
"No problem, let's go now."
"There's no rush, I have to go to the East Tower first, and I need to take some goods back to the academy."
The two of them came to the East Tower, the office of the association's affiliated chamber of commerce, and followed the instructions to the goods warehouse. I happened to see Kaya busy tying up piles of winter clothes and putting them on the donkey cart. Najib, the steward next to him, directed the coolies to take the goods out of the warehouse and count them.
Upon seeing Lin's appearance, Nagy first stepped forward to say hello: "Sir Tripwood, everything you want is almost ready. Do you have any other instructions?"
"There are none." With his apprentice watching from the side, Lin didn't bother to count them again. Just looking at the small cart pulled by the donkey and the goods piled up like a hill, he couldn't help complaining: "Is this the only small cart? Isn't there a bigger one?"
Showing some embarrassment, Najib said: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. It's a bit troublesome to mobilize a vehicle at short notice. This is because the distance is very close, less than a day's journey, so I borrowed this car. If it were any further away, A little bit, just to schedule a shift, you have to go very far in the queue.”
"Okay, I know this situation too, so I don't blame you." Lin felt helpless. What is not there is nothing, and it cannot be born. But thinking of another thing, he asked Najib: "Mr. Steward, do you know where Sir Shurion is? I have been looking for him all morning, but I can't find him. The president is not here either."
"As for the president, I heard that he discussed the matter with the other two giants. It seems that some people are colluding to do something bad in the Cadiz area. I don't know about Sir Ion."
The only people who can be called giants with the old man from Chengguo Eaton are the presidents of the other two districts. Those high-level matters are beyond someone's control and don't care. As for the guy who can't be found, it's really nerve-wracking. Many expenses now are actually paid by Lin in advance. However, the relevant plans for the college had been handed over long ago, but the people in charge of the moneybags turned a blind eye.
Speaking of which, the money was handed over by myself at the beginning. If you just pass it, you can't control it? have no choice.
Three people, two older and one younger, just followed the donkey cart and slowly moved towards the college location outside Wulian City.
Along the way, the fat man who knew me was really talkative. Unfortunately, Lin and Kaya are not such good chat friends, and they can only respond one sentence at a time. But the two of them were good listeners, at least they didn't show any signs of impatience. Lin just regarded it as watching a show and watched Eli Huber keep talking.
Nor is content entirely inconsequential. People like him have more experience with many tips on getting along with people in Wulian City. Although Lin had lived in Wulian City for a long time, he spent most of his time traveling around and walking in the mountains and forests. Except for the time when I first crossed over, I rarely stayed in the city for a long time.
Seeing that everyone was a little tired of listening, Eli Huber changed the subject and talked about something that must be of interest to someone. "Lord Gebrash, you said you were looking for Sir Shurion. What's the matter?"
Thinking that the other party is about to become a part of the academy, there are some things that he has the right to know. And it was obvious that the other party had some information. So Lin sorted out his thoughts and said: "The original intention of establishing the academy was to take care of the children who gathered in Wulian City because of the Charlie Richard Fund, but no one was willing to take them in. It can be regarded as a continuation of the use of the fund. So it should be a natural thing to use that fund to establish and maintain the college. But since I proposed the plan and budget and started to operate the college, that person has not yet paid the required expenses. So. That’s why I’m so anxious to find that one.”
"Oh, so that's it."
"So, do you know where Sir Ion is? If you do, please tell me."
But the fat man spread his hands and said, "I don't know where he is, but I know where he might go." Elihuber didn't show off, and said directly: "In this five-city city, there is a noble It's a place I'll definitely go to. If you want to find a knight, this is the right place to go." At the same time, he didn't know where to turn his hand and took out a small card that looked very familiar.
This small card was given to Lin by the noble women who fought against Fen when they first returned to Wulian City, so that a lich who had just been resurrected from a thousand years of imprisonment could go to a place where he would have a long experience. The material, ink, and handwriting of the paper card are all of the highest quality, but they are only used to record an address.
It's just that Fen woke up at that time and realized that there was nothing to dispute between his height and a group of ostentatious peacocks. So the matter was settled, and the small card was thrown away by Lin. Now I see again that someone just thinks that what is supposed to happen, just cannot escape. Feeling deeply.
"Okay. Even if Sir Ion will attend this banquet, but I don't have an invitation card, am I going to block the door?"
With a smile, Elihuber put away the small card and said, "This card just tells others where the banquet will be held. Being a magician is the best invitation."
