Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

When Noah came out, he sighed to Aldrich who was waiting outside the door, and said, "It's nice to have money."

If you don't care about money, a person must be much freer.

Aldrich asked, "What's wrong?"

Noah took out a rare Canadian coin and said, "The Earl gave me ten rare Canadian coins, so that we can make a comeback. He didn't write an IOU for this money, but I have to pay it back, otherwise, it will be a huge debt at that time." Favorable."

"It's good to have money." Noah handed the rare Canadian coins to Aldrich, and said, "The real owner of Cold Wind City, Viscount Marcus Manling is a luxurious and lustful guy who can't make money. He owes Earl Degar A lot of money, so I mortgaged Cold Wind City to Earl Degal, but retained sovereignty and voting rights, and only all proceeds were handed over to Earl Degal. But now more and more money is owed, and the owner of Cold Wind City will also change. Count de Gard."

"If we owe so much money, there won't be a single Cold Wind City to repay the debt."

After they went back, Noah regrouped and wanted to make a comeback.However, everything that happened after that was even more tragic than the Duchy of Green.He bought the fruit and transported it halfway, when a hailstorm fell and the fruit was all smashed into mud. He bought livestock and took good care of them, but they were still infected with strange and strange diseases, so all the livestock died of infection.He bought salt, but then came the king's order that the sale of private salt was not allowed... In short, nothing went well.

In just one month, Noah spent all his money without taking a single step in his business journey.

Noah sat in the yard with a blank look in his eyes.

"I really can't figure it out." Noah said: "I bought a batch of goods and put them in the warehouse. It just happened to rain, and the lightning struck the warehouse, which just happened to ignite all the goods... "

Can ordinary people encounter this?

Can these things happen one after another?

"Am I, am I cursed?" Noah raised his head and said, and then there was a bang in the sky, and a thunderbolt hit him in front of him.

It started to rain heavily.

"It's raining!"

There was a bustling sound outside, and people on the street hurriedly packed up their things and rushed home.The rain came fiercely and quickly, and the bean-sized raindrops slammed onto the ground.Soon the streets were deserted, the rainwater piled up and mixed with the sewage, and the road was muddy.

The air became damp and cold in an instant. Noah put away his clothes and closed the doors and windows. The rain seeped from the cracks in the roof. He took a basin and placed it below to catch the water.

Cold Wind City is a place with a lot of rain, and the howling sound of the wind echoes all year round.Noah heard the sound of wind and rain outside. The rain was heavier than he had imagined. He suddenly thought that the stable should be leaking at this time. He quickly opened the door against the strong wind. The water covered his feet, and the entire courtyard They were all full of rainwater, and the weeds and wildflowers in the corners were knocked down by the torrential rain, soaking sleepily in the rainwater.

Noah waded into the stable at the back. Dilo was hiding under it to avoid the rain. It looked very calm. Seeing Noah coming, he turned his body to make room for him.

"Let's go in." Just for a while, Noah's body was soaked by the rain, and his hair was sticking wetly to his face.His voice was drowned by the wind and rain, and he went into the stable and said aloud, "Let's go in!"

Noah would never tie up Dilo with a rein, and the two of them walked into the house one step at a time. After entering the house, he turned around and locked the door behind him, and then wiped Dilo's body with a dry cloth.

"It's a lot of rain." Although it is rainy in Coldwind City, it has never rained so much. When Noah went out just now, he saw that a few trees outside were broken by the wind. He said worriedly: " I don’t know where Odd is now, it’s raining so hard, how can he answer—Ah Choo!”

Noah sneezed loudly. He shuddered and shivered all over. Holding a towel in his hand, he slowly realized that he seemed to have a cold?

Dilo turned his head and looked at him with concern, then stuck out his tongue and licked Noah's hair, it wanted to lick dry the rain on Noah's body—"Wait, no, I'm fine." Noah Run away quickly.

He quickly took off his soaked clothes and wiped them with a towel, but the clothes he had washed before were not dry yet, and it was raining heavily.

Noah crouched naked next to the fireplace, trying to add wood for warmth.But all the firewood had become soggy, and he put a piece of wet wood in, and then the last faint flame in it went out, with a mocking sound like "puff!"

"Don't force me!" Noah said fiercely to the fireplace.

The fireplace remained motionless.

Noah turned around twice in the room like a trapped animal, and the cold wind and rain still poured in through the gap, whipping his seemingly thin body mercilessly.His eyes fell on the "Sacred Book of Light" on the bedside, and he thought about it for a moment: There are indeed such magics as [Great Fireball], [Death Inferno] and [Sea of ​​Flames] in it, and it must be very warm after using it. , but correspondingly, this street will definitely be burned out by then.

He walked to the bed and thought, is this the story of the little match girl? In order to keep warm, he lit three matches...

Noah sneezed again, he jumped onto the bed in one step, and then wrapped himself in a quilt, with only one head exposed.

The house leak happens to rain all night, so what's the next sentence...

Noah's head was dizzy, and he stared blankly at the door. His eyes and forehead hurt a lot. At this moment, he heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels outside the courtyard suddenly stopping at the door.

The chain hammer appeared soundlessly in his hand.

"Please come in..."

Aldrich’s voice came from outside the door, Noah heaved a sigh of relief, put away the chain hammer, and then went to open the door for Aldrich under the quilt.

"Noah, Mr. Allen came to visit and said something..."

After the door was opened, what Aldridge saw was Noah who was rolled up with a quilt, exposing his feet and head, and under the quilt was a snow-white skin.

"Mr. Allen, I'm sorry to wait a moment."

Aldridge greeted Allen behind him, then took a quick step forward, bent down to pick Noah up, and put him on the bed.

He tried Noah's forehead, and then reached into the quilt to touch it. Noah's hands and feet were cold, and only his forehead was hot.

"You have a fever, Noah." Aldridge said in a low voice. He looked around, saw the wet clothes on the ground, the cold fireplace, and Dilo standing aside, and quickly deduced that what happened just now what's up.

"I'm fine." Noah didn't completely lose consciousness, he said, "It's just a cold, and I'll be fine soon."

He has confidence in his physique. Over the years, he insists on exercising every morning, and the cold will be cured by tomorrow at most.

"Did someone come just now, let him in."

Aldrich touched his hot face and said hesitantly, "I'll let him go back, you need to rest."

"It's okay." The quilt was as cold as iron, and the more Noah lay down, the more uncomfortable he was, so he simply lifted the quilt and sat up.

The cold wind swept over, and Noah instantly got goosebumps all over his body.

"Ahh-!"

Aldrich: "..."

He took off his robe and coat and put them on for Noah. He met Alan just before the rain, and the two came in a carriage, so they were not affected.

"Aren't you cold like this?" Noah asked.

"It's not cold." Aldrich held his hand, and Noah felt the hot temperature coming from the opposite side, like a large heater, and stared at Aldrich's hand with some surprise.

Aldridge let go of his hand, let Noah get dressed, and opened the door for Mr. Allen.

Allen's face was already very ugly.

As the adopted son of Earl Degal, right and left hand, no one in the entire Cold Wind City can let him wait outside the door!

And after he entered the house, he saw the small space and crude layout in the house, and Noah was even wearing Aldrich's clothes, so he sneered even more.

By Goddess Luck, they keep horses inside!

For Allen, poverty is the original sin, and Noah is unpardonable in his heart.

"Your Excellency Alan, you are safe." Noah sat on the bed, curled up his hands and feet, and said in a low voice, "Excuse me, Your Excellency Alan came to visit, why?"

Allen was standing at the door, and he didn't want to go in a step, for fear that the breath of poverty would contaminate him, and Noah's appearance made him extremely unhappy.

This person didn't get out of bed to salute when he saw him. He is indeed a poor man who is barbaric and stupid and doesn't understand etiquette!

"I'm here for the Twilight Gem." Alan didn't want to stay here any longer, and quickly explained his purpose: "We issued a reward order, but so far, no adventurer has been able to complete this task. Because in the Twilight Lake, there is a A giant monster guards the jewel."

"So the Earl wants to give you a chance—"

He really didn't understand why the Earl would think of these two losers to complete the task.

"I understand." Noah nodded: "We will go—after I get better from a cold."

Allen looked at him hesitantly, wanting to mock Noah and the others for their overreach, but also not wanting to remind them how terrifying that monster was.Even the gold adventurers couldn't defeat that monster, and some even died at the bottom of the lake.

He couldn't get up and down in his heart, and finally he could only leave with a sullen face.

The moment Allen opened the door, a gust of wind came in and slapped Noah's face.

Noah: "..."

Aldridge quickly closed the door, then pushed Noah down on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Then he put away the clothes that were still dripping on the ground, dealt with the damp wood, and re-ignited the fireplace in two or three strokes, and the temperature in the room rose quickly.Aldrich boiled a pot of hot water, then took the broom to sweep the water out of the house...

Noah watched him busy to and fro, tidying up the house in an orderly manner, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep in the warm room without knowing it.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard Aldrich's voice, who helped him up and fed him a full cup of hot water.

"Odd..." Noah said in a daze, "You are such a good person..."

The author has something to say:

Allen doesn't understand.

Noah wears Aldrich's clothes, this is not called poor.

It's called fun.
