Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Daniel and Noah walked together for two days. Although he was anxious, he still barely suppressed the desire to urge.If he had the backbone, he could jump off the carriage, but it was very difficult to meet another missionary on this road.

After late autumn, winter will come. Under such weather, how can there be any missionaries going north.

Daniel has always looked down on missionaries, thinking that this is a profession that uses lies and deceit to confuse civilians. He can turn other people around with just a word of trickery.In the past few days, in order to relieve his anxiety, he passed the time by observing the missionaries in the carriage.

Noah's life is very regular and full of energy.When Daniel went to bed every night, Noah was still reading, and when Daniel got up, Noah was already eating breakfast.His knight entourage was a Neilbrook, and was very docile and respectful to him.

As far as Daniel's observation is concerned, Noah spends most of his time reading books, sometimes it's the "Book of Light", sometimes it's other books.In addition to food and clothes in this carriage, what is left is a pile of books.

Do other missionaries spend their days buried in books?Daniel believes that is absolutely not the case. How could those liars really study the teachings.Not all the books Noah read are related to theology, including books such as "The Value of Human Beings", "The Fourteenth Code of Hantobis", "On Currency", and "The Ideal Man", but what he reads most often are some adventure stories , he always read those exaggerated adventure novels with relish, and occasionally said to his entourage of knights: "When shall we go to the Barney Valley to see! Or the Snazena Mountains?"

However, the Barney Canyon is the territory of monsters, and the Snazena Mountains are also known as the Death Mountains.

In fact, after leaving the royal capital and arriving at Banyaf City, after passing through two cities, they left the border of the Shilan Empire.

Besides the Shilan Empire, other countries often suffer from the invasion of monsters and various weird existences. There are a large number of adventurers living there, who are entrusted to solve problems for the rich.They can do anything, their fame spreads across the continent, and they are a force to be reckoned with.

But this is not the case in the Shilan Empire. The birth of the Shilan Empire is full of coincidences and accidents. There are no monsters or natural disasters here. The soil is fertile and the products are abundant. It is simply a paradise on earth.

There is no soil here for adventurers to live on.

Moreover, the Shilan Empire is the most powerful place of the Holy Cult of Light, and has trained a large number of powerful trial knights and priests to ensure invincibility in the war of faith.

No matter what the Barney Canyon or the Snazena Mountains are, the Neilbrooks will answer at this point: "Okay. What do you want for dinner tonight? Hot wine?"

"No, boil some hot water, and let me drink it when it's cold. Put more salt in the meal at night, don't use pepper, and cut the potatoes into smaller pieces. There must be chicken!" Noah was extremely picky about food, but the entourage The Cavaliers had no complaints, and he was always doing his best to fulfill Noah's complicated demands.

Their conversation had a rhythm and rapport that only the two of them knew, and it was hard for Daniel to break in.Sometimes they laughed out loud while talking, or started to argue fiercely, which was hard for Daniel to understand.

Because they are always discussing some inexplicable problems.Sometimes Noah saw a sentence in the book, even how a woman escaped from the control of the family and fell in love with another man, they would discuss it for a long time with relish.

While sitting in the carriage, it was inconvenient for Noah to talk to Aldrich, so he opened the curtain, took out a pen to write and draw on a piece of paper.Daniel could see that it was a map, because what Noah described was exactly the route along the way, but there were a lot of patterns and runes of unknown meaning mixed in it, and Daniel had never seen such a map.

I have to admit that he couldn't understand the map drawn by Noah.

"The Shilan Empire is such a great country." Noah suddenly said to Daniel.

Daniel recovered from his contemplation, and thought about Noah's words carefully. It seemed to be just an ordinary emotion, so Daniel said, "She can still get better."

Noah smiled and asked, "Your Excellency Daniel, you said you were a traveling businessman, what kind of business were you doing before?"

Daniel had already prepared for this question, and he said: "Do you know the Suha Kingdom in the north? After passing through the Kansero Mountains and reaching the State of Gaufflia, the first country to arrive is the Suha Kingdom. Suha The Northern Alliance, where the kingdom is located, believes in the God of War—in fact, the entire Gopheria State is the territory of the God of War. Therefore, the Northern Alliance has always been at odds with the Shilan Empire, even to the point of fighting each other."

Noah nodded: "If it weren't for the Kansero Mountains lying in the middle, the Shilan Empire would have fought the Northern Alliance long ago."

"That's right." Daniel looked at Noah with some surprise: "Mr. Missionary, your knowledge is very extensive."

Noah smiled: "I'm just more interested in these things."

Daniel thought to himself, then you are interested in too many things, you are also interested in how a woman marries, how many eggs a hen lays a day, and even what grows in the field.

"The conflict between the Northern Alliance and the Shilan Empire, how did you make money?" Noah leaned forward, showing that standard expression of interest.

Daniel is a little proud. He is indeed doing this business and has made a lot of money: "A Shilan gold coin of the Shilan Empire weighs 5 grams of gold, and has a gold content of 0.98. According to the standards of the Shilan Empire, a Shilan gold coin You can buy five hundred chickens in the Shilan Empire."

He knew that Noah liked to eat chicken very much, so he used chickens as a metaphor: "But in the Northern Alliance, which is hostile to the Shilan Empire, they stipulated that the Shilan Empire can only buy [-] chickens in the Northern Alliance! That is to say , in the Northern Alliance, the purchase of [-] chicks costs more stone orchid gold coins."

"In this way, I can use a gold coin from the Shilan Empire to buy 1 chickens in the Shilan Empire, then transport the 50 chickens to the Northern Alliance, and sell the [-] chickens , in exchange for [-] stone orchid gold coin plus [-] stone orchid silver coins."

"Just relying on the different values ​​​​of gold coins can make huge profits, let alone those products that already have a profit gap."

"In fact, what I bought in the Shilan Empire was not chickens, but gold."

Noah nodded again and again: "Great, great."

Daniel laughed. It's always fun to tell people who understand this kind of thing and let him understand how good he is.

"From this point of view, it was too cheap to charge you three silver coins." Noah said with some regret: "However, businessmen seem to value integrity the most. Now that the price has been set, it is inconvenient to modify it."

Daniel: "..." Couldn't he have the slightest sympathy for a businessman who was robbed?

"Everyone should pay attention to integrity, including the country." Noah said with emotion: "The Shilan Empire and the Northern Federation will only increase their own consumption for no reason. They are all to make the other party's currency depreciate locally and cannot be circulated." .Your method can only be used in the early stage. In the later stage, as the strength of one party increases, the currency of the other party will really depreciate."

"But, in terms of the outcome, who do you think will win?"

Daniel's eyes sank slightly, and he said: "The Shilan Empire is a great country, and she will eventually win all honors and victories. But she still needs to make some changes, some changes that will make her... reborn."

Noah stared at him, brushing the book on his lap with his hands, and the cover read "The War of the Nobles".

"Your Excellency Daniel, you used to be a nobleman." Noah said suddenly.

Daniel sat up straight subconsciously, his back muscles tensed, and he asked, "Why do you say that?"

Noah smiled: "I should have known it a long time ago, but I really know too little about the nobles. Daniel Owen, everything is in your name."

"The Owen family used to be a very famous aristocrat... During the war with the Brook Empire, they gradually withdrew from the aristocratic center of the royal capital because of their wrong position." Noah tapped the book in his hand: "I I only found out when I was watching "The Epic of Neilbrook", that the Owen family did not approve of going to war against the Brooke Empire, and after the war was won, you lost instead."

Daniel's voice became tense and full of hostility: "Do you also think the Owen family's choice was wrong?"

Noah waved his hand: "I don't know much about nobles. I read the book in my hand several times, but I couldn't get to the second page. It's a waste of the author's heart. So I don't know whether the Owen family is right or wrong. Qualifications cannot be evaluated."

Daniel himself didn't know whether he was satisfied with the answer. He felt sore, and smiled a little, and casually changed the subject: "Does your missionary have any books that you can't read?"

"Of course, there are a thousand kinds of people, and there are a thousand kinds of books. Some people like and dislike each other as soon as they meet. Some books are the same, and you know you don't like it when you open the cover." Noah He said slowly: "However, some people realize that they can still be friends after getting along for a long time."
