Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Evelia hurried all the way, and finally arrived at Dawn City, which is the closest to the post, after two days. Aldrich had already woken up during this period.

"How are you feeling?" Evelia asked.

"Very well, it's a blessing in disguise." He grasped a deeper power.

Aldrich asked: "Are you sure that the city lord of Dawn City will provide support for the outpost?"

"He owed my father a lot of money, and sold half of the proceeds from Dawn City as collateral to the bank, and used the other half on banquets and women. I don't really understand this kind of person. If I owned a city, I would put It has become the richest city." Evelia walked into Dawn City, where people still lived an ordinary and poor life, the church distributed indulgences by the roadside, and people knew nothing about the coming beast tide.

Evelia easily met the lord of Dawn City. He was a man in his 30s, with the common characteristics of most nobles. .The city lord received Evlia very warmly, and he said happily: "Welcome to the city of Dawn, Missy, I just want to hold a banquet, an unprecedented banquet that you have never heard of! We let some slaves in the garden Show hunting..."

He took Evelia and the others to the garden, and said excitedly: "Look at those slaves, they hold wooden guns, because they are playing hunters..." He danced with uncomfortable excitement in his eyes: " I worked hard to train them."

Aldrich looked at the slaves with numb expressions, and slowly frowned: "These people are..."

"The Bayer people, yes, they are from the Shilan Empire." The city lord said: "The Shilan Empire has been in war recently, so some people sold these abandoned Bayer people to us at a low price, but to be honest, The Byers are not fit to be slaves, they can't stand the climate of the Northern Union, and they're always very lazy..."

The war in the Shilan Empire?Is the Church of Chaos and the Church of Light finally at war?A major source of slaves is the prisoners of war.

Evelia stopped the city lord from continuing, and she said, "Your lord, I don't intend to disturb you, but the topic of the banquet will be discussed later. We are here today because of the beast horde."

The city lord repeated in confusion: "Beast tide?"

Evelia looked at him in shock, and then took a deep breath: "The monsters in the Barney Canyon and the Snazena Mountains have already come out, and the monsters in other places are targeting humans. 100 years ago , the beast horde once destroyed most of the countries in the Northern Alliance..."

"Hahahaha." The city lord laughed loudly: "100 years ago, I was not born yet... Aren't you laughing, I was telling a joke just now."

Evelia: "..."

The 16-year-old young lady looked at the city owner blankly, not knowing whether it was his problem or her own problem.

Aldrich took a step forward and said, "My lord, the beast horde has arrived. We arrived at the Thorium post two days ago. As far as I know, this post is under your jurisdiction. The beast horde must have arrived now." The outpost, the soldiers are fighting to defend the people, they are waiting for the aid of Dawn City."

The city lord twitched his mouth: "Please stop joking, Miss Evelia, if you are here to attend the banquet, I sincerely invite you, but such old-fashioned jokes are not welcome here."

"My lord, if you don't respond immediately, I'm afraid you'll have to hold a banquet on top of people's corpses and surrounded by monsters." Evelia smiled and said, "I'm interested in seeing this kind of banquet." .”

The face of the city lord slowly sank, he looked at Evelia, his eyes flickered for a moment, and said, "Please follow me to the meeting hall."

The attendant brought two glasses of wine, and the city lord asked, "Is what you said true? But we have never seen a beast horde, and my father's will never told me to be careful of a damn beast horde..."

"It's in the book, not just the history book." Evelia pushed away the drink: "And you'll be able to see it with your own eyes soon."

The city lord shook his head and said, "Even so, we still have soldiers standing in front of us, just some monsters. Miss Evelia, are you too nervous, do you want to drink some wine and relax?"

Evlia was already very anxious. According to their estimation, the beast horde had already approached the outpost. Those soldiers might be fighting with damaged weapons and armor, and they were looking forward to the reinforcements she brought.And once the outpost is destroyed, the monsters will attack directly towards Dawn City and destroy all the villages, farmland, and innocent villagers in their way.

"My lord, you must immediately send soldiers to the outpost to provide support, and notify all outposts to prepare for joint operations." Evelia said sincerely: "Once the outpost is destroyed, there will be no barriers in front of Dawn City. And they need your help." Support, my lord, you should never lose your mind when using troops."

The city lord waved his hand, sighed and said: "Miss Evelia, you are still young, and you don't understand that this kind of thing is very complicated. Even if you are the city lord, you need the consent of multiple parties to deploy troops. I am not an arbitrary person." .”

Evelia said coldly: "Now is not the time to show off bureaucracy."

"This is an honorable institution!"

"Then you should at least arrange for the people to evacuate immediately and tell them that the beast swarm is coming. They only need to go south to reduce losses, where the beast swarm is smaller."

"Miss, it's too easy for you to say!" The city lord shouted again: "And we must not tell them that those foolish people will panic! It will be even more difficult to manage at that time, and they will take advantage of this opportunity to commit crimes. Just see through them."

"You mean, don't you care about this?" Evelia asked.

"Miss, what you said, how could I mean it, but we still need to observe the situation again, and then discuss it with multiple parties before we can come up with a correct decision. It will take time!"

The so-called correct decision is a decision that no one needs to be responsible for. Of course, the effect is often very poor, and it will even make the situation more serious and irreparable.

But in any case, it's good that you don't need to be responsible, and it will definitely not be the nobles' turn to bear the consequences in the end.

"The soldiers at the outpost don't have much time."

The city lord smiled: "Miss, you have to trust them! And it is their honor to die for the country."

"But they died from the betrayal of their companions." Evlia supported her forehead, feeling her head dizzy for a while: "You just need to provide strategic supplies, and I will send people from the Degar family to the front line, so it will be fine Bar?"

After she finished speaking, the city lord screamed in his heart, feeling that the eldest lady was really meddling to the point of being annoying.But after thinking about it, he felt that this was a good opportunity. If he could make another sum of money, he could escape before the beast horde came.Afterwards, he blamed the outpost soldiers and Evlia for the fall of the beast tide. He escaped after fighting with all his strength. In this way, he might be appreciated by the king.

It would be even better if Evelia could die in the beast horde, there is no proof of death.

He showed a hesitant expression: "Miss, you are really kind-hearted. You want me to distribute supplies to the post, but I really can't get them out."

Evelia asked irritably, "Why can't you take it out?"

"In fact, Degal Bank is not willing to provide me with a loan recently." The city lord turned his eyes and said: "Miss, why don't you make a guarantee and get me a loan from the bank, this is to protect the soldiers at the outpost Ah. Please believe me, I can mortgage more things!"

"What else can you mortgage?"

"Nobility, antiques, and those civilians and slaves, I am the lord of Dawn City!"

Evelia suddenly felt an extremely absurd feeling in her heart.

Every time she spoke a word with the city lord, her head hurt even more, and the anger in her heart almost made her burn.In the process of doing business, she has met all kinds of people, including those who are shameless and selfish, those who fill their pockets, and those who shirk their responsibilities... This city lord has almost all the characteristics.If it were other things, Evelia would not be so angry and anxious, but she has seen the beast tide, the overwhelming monsters attacking head-on, anyone's life will be crushed in it, death is close at hand, breathing can be heard.

Something must be done to save this, Evelia thought so desperately.

The city lord shook his head and moved closer to Evelia: "Miss, you should think about it again."

Evelia stood up and said coldly, "I've thought it through very clearly."

Seeing her indifferent expression, the city lord shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Go back when you've had enough fun, miss, we will hold a meeting to discuss the matter of the beast tide."

It was only because of Earl Degar that he gave her some face. A 16-year-old woman was so dictating to him, which made the city lord very disgusted.

Evelia stood at the door of the chamber, pointed at the slaves in the garden, and suddenly asked, "City Master, how much did you spend on these slaves?"

"One silver dollar, and a little more money if the quality is good. Is the lady interested in them?"

"My lord, all life must have a price with you." Evelia said with a smile, "Do you know that with me, your life also has a price."

"What...?!" Before the city lord could react, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the silent man was standing beside him, with a sharp and cold sword on his chest.

"you!"

As soon as the city lord opened his mouth, Aldrich's sword stabbed in, and a wound appeared on the city lord's body instantly, and blood gushed out like a tide.

"Stop talking." Aldridge said softly, "I've heard enough of you."

The castellan looked at them in horror.

Evelia trembled: "You looked a bit like Noah just now."

"Noah, I killed him just now." When Aldrich talked about Noah, his tone was much gentler: "I am more indecisive than him, so the Lord City Lord is still alive. If it is him, come to Dawn City On the way, I am ready to kill the city lord and replace him."

"Hehe, that's true." Evelia looked at the city lord: "Master the city lord, you seem to have something to say, oh, don't rush to speak, what you can say next is limited."

The city lord trembled all over, but he didn't dare to tremble too much: "What do you want to do?! Evelia, you dare to kill me! I am the city lord of Dawn City, and I am a marquis!"

"As I said, your life has a price with me, and I can afford it." Evelia said, "We don't want to kill you yet, as long as you cooperate with us to complete the next thing, you will It’s still City Lord, otherwise, this position will be reserved for your son.”

"I'm just a businessman. I always pay attention to mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. Lord City Lord, let's do a business."
