Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Now that Aldridge and Noah are running away, he is actually quite familiar with the road.

He packed a bag of food on Dilo in advance, so there was no shortage of food along the way.But apart from these grains, they had nothing left.

"It's all my fault." They walked in the small town of the Kingdom of Suha, which was completely different from the Principality of Green, bustling and lively, with all kinds of goods on the market.Noah stared straight at the grilled chicken on the stall, and murmured: "This incident tells me a truth. The plums that no one picks on the roadside are really sour. No wonder no other businessmen ran to the Principality of Green. I'm the only one who is stupid..."

The way he confessed to the grilled chicken was so devout, he must have never paid so much attention when praying to the God of Light.

Aldrich couldn't stand watching, he walked over, took out a silver coin, and bought a roast chicken.

"Everyone has something they're not good at!" Aldridge handed him the hot grilled chicken, and said, "After you go back and pay off your debts, try again."

The smell of roasted chicken came out, Noah lowered his head and sniffed, stared at Aldrich and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Aldrich: "Um..."

When Noah exchanged the stored salt and money for food for the first time, Aldrich had a bad feeling.He saved a little money with him early on to prepare for possible accidents.The money was not much, just enough for them to rush back from the Duchy of Green to the Kingdom of Suha.

Noah stopped asking. He broke off the grilled chicken and said, "Let's go back and have a look. The most important thing now is to pay back the money. I'm still not very suitable to be a businessman."

When Noah returned to Cold Wind City, winter was already over.

The remaining cold is still there.

It took him more than a year to go from the Kingdom of Suha to the Principality of Green, and he did one thing in a nutshell.Spend all the assets to buy a large amount of food, and then go through untold hardships, transport it to the Duchy of Green, and give it to the civilians for free.

And those grains can only make them live a few more days.

It would be great if they survived the war just because of these few days.

Noah and Aldridge stood at the gate of the banker Degar's compound. After the guards passed the pass, they let Noah and the others in.

The banker Degar is in his fifties and looks like a kindly middle-aged man.He sat in a chair with a stack of reports from all over the country in front of him.As a banker, De Garal's wealth was as large as the sand under the Sutaral River, and it seeped into all walks of life.The status of a businessman in the Kingdom of Suha is relatively high. Degar bought the title from the king with Jin Cancan, and everyone called him Earl Degar.

Earl Degar should have his own territory, but it is rumored that Coldwind City is his hometown, so in his later years Degar just wanted to stay in Coldwind City to recuperate, and only the most important things would be put on his desk. He decides.

"Count Degar, you're welcome." Noah and Aldrich greeted each other.

There were two people standing next to Earl Degal, a handsome young man in a brown vest, who was pouring tea for Earl Degal.The other was wearing a cloak, tall and thin, with a pale and serious face, and he seemed to be a very taciturn person.

The young man leaned over and whispered next to Earl Degar, "These two were introduced by the sage before and borrowed a hundred rare Canadian dollars from the bank..."

"Mr. Noah, and Mr. Aldrich, nice to meet you." Earl Degar interrupted his introduction, stood up and said: "I heard that you two went to the Duchy of Green and finally came back. What good news do you have? ?"

Count de Gard was very gentle and friendly, speaking calmly and forcefully.Noah bowed to him, and then told him everything that happened in the Principality of Green.

"As you can see, we failed in business," Noah said.

After listening to Earl Degar, he said with a smile: "Mr. Noah seems to be really not suitable for business."

"So, the loan of [-] rare Canadian dollars is temporarily repaid." Noah said honestly, [-] rare Canadian dollars is equivalent to [-] ordinary Canadian dollars. For ordinary people, this is an unimaginable astronomical figure .

"After the agreed one-year period has passed, the interest will be increased." Earl Degar said, "I thought Mr. Noah would run away. If you leave here, you won't have to pay back the high loan."

Then was he wanted again... Noah collected his expression and said: "I think the foundation of a businessman should be honesty... Although I am not a successful businessman, for a character like Earl de Gard, I must be honest. Treat each other with sincerity. Moreover, there is a sage who guarantees me, and I will not fall into the injustice of Mr. Sage.”

Earl Degar smiled and listened to him continue.

"Before I went to the Principality of Green, I bought a yard near the Green Ridge Square." Noah said solemnly: "I hope to use that yard as a guarantee, and then borrow a hundred gold and Canadian dollars from your bank. "

The handsome man next to Earl Degar gasped slightly, and looked at Noah in surprise, as if saying that you can make such a request?

Noah looked at Count Degar calmly.

Count Degar pondered for a moment, then asked: "I remember that Mr. Noah has a very good horse. If you can sell the horse to me, I can offer you a hundred gold coins."

Noah sighed in his heart, if he rejected Count Degar, then Count Degar would be able to reject himself as a matter of course.

"Sorry, Dilo is like a family to me."

Earl Degar said with some regret: "Since this is the case, I'm not good at taking people's love. The one hundred gold coins you mentioned before..."

Noah knew that [-]% of the loan was about to die, so he listened disheartened to Earl Degar and continued: "According to the regulations, you can't make a second loan to a customer who has overdue loans before, and I don't want to break the rules. However, I am willing to lend you one hundred gold and Canadian dollars in my own name, as if we are friends."

"Count?" Although Noah was shocked, it was the handsome man next to Count Degar who yelled.

Count Degar glanced at him indifferently, and then said: "Alan, you go out first, I want to talk to Mr. Noah alone."

The handsome man named Allen left with the man in black, and Noah also let Aldrich go out.

"I haven't seen such an honest and brave young man like you for a long time." Earl Degar raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Noah: "If you don't mind, can I just call you Noah?"

"It's an honor, Mr. Earl." Noah said.

Count de Gard sat down and took a sip of his tea, his thick white hair and beard making him look hale and hearty.He directly touched ten rare Canadian coins from the drawer without writing an IOU or leaving any vouchers.

It was said to be a loan, but Earl Degar actually gave him a sum of money.

Noah took the money and said sincerely: "Thank you very much for your support." When he returned, he set up a tablet for Earl Degar and wished him a long life.

"Not everyone can make this trip smoothly." Earl Degal has always liked to make friends, but Noah is in trouble now, and he can sell favors to him with a little money, and Earl Degal is very happy.After all, for him, the most in his hand is money.

If the money is only piled there, it is just waste.

Letting money create value and gain benefits is what Count Degar is best at.

He smiled and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Use this money to continue doing business." Noah said: "The Principality of Green is too far away. Although the estimated benefits are huge, there are too many variables. Next, I want to do business in some nearby places."

Count Degar pondered for a moment and said, "Although it is theoretically possible, I don't think you are suitable for business."

Noah blinked: "I would like to hear more about it."

"It's not a matter of experience or wisdom." Earl Degar said vaguely, "It's still a little short..."

Earl Degar was unwilling to say more about what was wrong.

The two of them chatted casually for a while, and the relationship became a lot closer. Afterwards, Noah asked: "If the Earl encounters my situation, what will he do?"

Earl Degar said: "I don't expect to encounter that kind of situation. If I go to the Duchy of Green to do business, I will choose to sell armor and weapons, and I have already decided on a buyer before I go. Speaking of which, I do have a few friends in the Principality of Green, I don’t know how they are doing now. During the war, no one is an outsider..."

After rambling and sighing for a while, he looked into Noah's eyes and said with a smile: "However, if I really have shipped a large amount of grain and can't sell it..."

Noah looked at him eagerly, slightly curly black hair resting on his white forehead, and light brown pupils looked at him intently and seriously, looking extremely well-behaved.

Count Degar was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "I will use food to hire a lot of people."

"Guard the grain? Or let them help sell it?" At that time, the grain was at risk of being burned by the local gentry.

Earl Degar shook his head: "If you can't sell it, there is no need to force it. There is no garbage in this world, only people who can't take advantage of it. When I say employment, I mean hiring more than 100 people. You have enough food, Audry Qi and you are also enough to control them, so you can easily form a team."

Earl Degar smiled meaningfully: "There is a gap in the rights of the Duchy of Green. As long as there is a gap, someone will fill it. If you take those people, you can go directly to attack the robbers, even free weapons and armor. Yes. An earl can only lead 100 knights in battle, almost more than [-], and the strength you have is enough to run rampant in that small town."

Noah thought about it seriously, and had to admit that what he said was very reasonable.

"With those people, weapons, and food, what do you want to do next?" Earl Degar said: "A war-torn country is both a crisis and an opportunity. Businessmen are the people who are best at seizing opportunities..."

"Father!"

Earl Degal's voice was interrupted abruptly, Noah turned his head and looked outside the house, while Earl Degar showed a somewhat helpless smile.

"It's my daughter, Evelia is here." The corner of Earl Degar's mouth raised uncontrollably, and then the door was pushed open, and a girl in a long satin dress appeared in front of them.

The girl is about thirteen or fourteen years old, with platinum-blond long hair and azure blue pupils. Her beautiful and slender neck is decorated with a pearl necklace. Her pink-gold dress has chains, buttons made of gemstones, a round neckline, and embellishments. with lace and emeralds.

Even in the entire Suha Kingdom, the level of luxury in this body is unmatched.

Count Degar actually dressed very plainly, but every inch of his daughter, Evelia's body was decorated with the most luxurious accessories.Noah squinted his eyes, and the gold powder on the skirt made him almost blind.

"Evelia, why are you here?" Earl Degar stood up, and he said softly to his daughter, "Aren't you holding a tea party with your friends?"

"It's too boring, so I left." Eveliya casually responded: "Father, are you busy?"

Evelia held up the long skirt, and Earl Degar moved away from his seat. The handsome man named Allen waited for Earl Degar to sit down. full of admiration.

But Evelia didn't notice him at all, just like she didn't notice Noah.Evelia, who was raised in the palm of Earl Degar's hands, found it difficult to pay attention to people other than herself.

"I'm fine." Count Degar said, "What's the matter, Evelia?"

Evelia said with bright eyes: "Father, I was at the tea party just now and heard them discussing that there is a gem in the Twilight Lake called Twilight Lake. Father, I want this gem!"

"Okay, I'll ask someone to help you find it." Earl Degar agreed without hesitation.

Evelia jumped up with a cheer, her skirt fluttered, and gems and diamonds jingled among them.She kissed Count de Gard on the cheek, and then left happily.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't look at anyone else.

Noah stood up and said, "Since the Earl still has something to do, I'll take my leave first."

After Evelia left, Count Degar returned to his calm look. He nodded and said to Noah, "It's a pleasure chatting with you, Noah."

Noah saluted, turned and left, and after closing the door, he heard Earl Degar talking to the handsome man named Allen from inside the room.

"Alan, I've left the Twilight Gem to you."

"It's my honor to make Miss happy, but..." Allen said hesitantly, "I heard that there is a very powerful monster living in Twilight Lake, and ordinary people are no match for it..."

"Then issue a reward order and find adventurers to do it." Earl Degar said lightly: "Whatever my precious daughter wants, even if it is the stars in the sky or the crown on the ground, I will take it off and send it to you." In her hand, understand?"
