Poverty Alleviation Princess

"Sister, it looks good here."

The young man looked at both sides of the street happily. Although it was not as good as those bustling cities with people coming and going, at least the expressions of the people passing and going looked relaxed.

Seeing many sad expressions of worrying about survival, and suddenly seeing such an environment where people look relaxed, I unconsciously feel a lot more relaxed.The lively nature of boys of this age came out all of a sudden.

"Sister, let's go shopping first before meeting the city lord."

He wanted to go around again.

"This...according to etiquette, we should..."

The young female exorcist frowned and removed the protective mask, revealing a heroic and bright face.

"It's still early, isn't it? And you see we came all the way here, and we're disheartened..."

The boy looked left and right awkwardly, but he didn't look at his sister's face.

The young female exorcist smiled and touched her younger brother's head:

"Amber, you don't need to be nervous. It's still just contact, and you are not required to fight the monster immediately."

The worry in his heart was revealed, and the boy no longer pretended.

"I'm just worried that I can't do well..."

"It's okay, isn't my sister still here?" She comforted with a smile, and then took her brother's hand, "But what you said is also reasonable, it's not good to go to see the city lord in such a disgrace... let's fix it a little first. "

It's been a long time since she walked around the city properly, so it's not bad to relax a little with her brother.Think of it as the final preparations before the battle.

I don't know what kind of monsters I will encounter.

This is not an area they are familiar with. Although they have passed by, they have never stayed here, so to be honest, she doesn't know what kind of monsters there will be.Even letters were forwarded by acquaintances.

But the recruitment of nobles is not something they can refuse, even if the opponent is not a world-famous name, but just a city lord in a marginal area.Coral can only be careful and careful, while comforting herself that the reward this time is very rich, so rich that the order last night, they can not accept the task until next year.

This is not because they are snobbish and only look at the rewards. It is just that demon masters have to live. In addition, they are high-risk jobs. Most of the clansmen are injured, and there are many orphans and widows who cannot support themselves by hard work— Although they have cooperated with the village, the output of the village is not endless. They still have to earn as much money as possible to ensure that the clansmen will not lose their lives due to reasons other than monsters.

After eating something and rearranging their clothes, the siblings finally walked into the City Lord's Mansion standing tall on one side.

Unlike other places where people can't wait to stand full of people to show their wealth and strength, this place is very quiet, and the soldiers standing guard outside the gate seem very energetic and disciplined, and they are not whispering.After they explained their purpose, a soldier in armor brought them in.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, there were even fewer people.As far as the eye can see, apart from three or two patrolling people, there is not even a walking maid.But it's not that kind of desolate emptiness. On the contrary, the city lord's mansion is much better than they imagined. Although it can be seen that many places are still being repaired, the main body is very complete and the materials used are also good.

The open space in front of the main building also looks very grand, it is as flat as a mirror even though no stones are used.People can't help but think about what kind of means were used to achieve the current effect.

It's just that the style is the style, and the weirdness is really weird.

"The soldiers clearly said that someone would lead the way when they came in, but they didn't meet anyone at all." Amber carefully observed the seemingly empty City Lord's Mansion.

They walked up two floors, but they didn't meet the "leader" that the soldiers said.

"Or don't go on."

The boy grabbed his sister's arm and stopped walking.

Walking around in the city lord's mansion will also be punished.Although the demon masters are very powerful by the author, protecting human life and property from monsters, they are similar to ninjas in another world. Although they are very powerful, their status is actually very low.

Also doing similar work, the status of witches and monks is much higher than them.If there is a chain of contempt in the demon extermination industry, then these demon extermination masters are without a doubt the poorest of the bottom.

It may be better for ordinary people who have no way to fight against monsters, but among the rich and powerful, it is really a consumable that comes and goes as soon as they are called.

It is right to risk your life to complete the work. If you miss it, it will be a major mistake. If you don't do it, all the people who go with you will die.No matter how pure the technology is and how powerful the exorcist is, no matter whether he has passed on his technology well, if the nobles let you die in the third watch, they will not let you live until the fifth watch.

Therefore, whenever they receive jobs from nobles or city lords, they are always happy and worried.

I am happy because the nobles can always get very generous rewards here, but at the same time, I worry about how many companions will be lost in this job, and whether they will pay a bloody price for angering the nobles because of poor handling.

Be very careful when doing things.

"But if we are late, the city lord will be angry, right?"

Corals are also caught in a dilemma.

If her father is not here, she is the one in charge.Her decision represented the village of exorcising demon masters, and represented what kind of impression they would leave on the city lord.

Just when the two were in a dilemma and didn't know whether to continue walking up, the door next to them was suddenly pushed open, and a young girl came out staggeringly holding a large stack of paperwork.

"I'll help you."

Seeing the high stack of paperwork in the other party's hand, the road could not be seen, Shan Shan hurried up to help, and Amber beside him also took some.

"It was a great help, thank you."

The girl who was taking most of the weight freed her hand and moved her wrist.It was only then that they noticed the unfamiliar but neat attire of the two.

"You are?"

One is a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other is a younger brother of about ten years old... Has she ever seen such a combination?

There are quite a few girls in their teens in the city.

"We are demon extermination masters entrusted by the city lord to work." Shan Shan hurriedly revealed her identity, and in order not to be regarded as suspicious, she also quickly explained the situation. "My name is Shanhu, and this is my younger brother Amber. We didn't wander around on purpose. It's just that the soldiers said that they would be greeted when they came in, but we haven't met anyone..."

"Ah...that's what happened."

The girl froze for a moment, and then showed a dazed expression as if she suddenly remembered it.

"I just didn't expect you to come so soon."

Because according to Sanae...that is, the old witch, her letter should be in the hands of people in the next few days, and considering the speed of people's travel in this era, A Yuan thought that it would take at least a few days before anyone arrives with.

Although she ordered the reception work, but because she didn't expect it to be today, she arranged other things.

"Sorry, today is the exam day, so no one is there during this time, let me take you there."

"take an exam?"

The young man who followed closely behind his sister looked curiously at this man who had finally met.

A very young girl who looks similar to her sister.

Wearing...although it is a good material, it is not gorgeous, and it does not wear any accessories.

Probably a senior maid?

When Amber observes people, he does not know that the other party is also observing him

Seeing the handsome boy's well-behaved appearance, the smile on the girl's face softened a little.There was also a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.

Cain didn't say anything.If the mirror grows so big, it probably looks like this.But he should be confident—although the child tried his best to hide his uneasiness, the small movements of following his sister still revealed his nervousness and uneasiness.

"Yes, the exam. I'm doing pre-job training recently, and today is the day to accept the teaching results during this period." She explained as she walked.

"Some time ago, something happened and the city lord's mansion was severely understaffed, so a group of new recruits were recruited. It is still in the training and assessment period. After the assessment period is over, those who pass the test can stay, and the others will go back to their respective villages."

"Pre-job training?"

"Test, assessment?"

The sounds of coral and amber sounded almost simultaneously.

"That's right, rather than learning after starting work, of course it's more efficient to study first and then go to work, right? And you can also take this opportunity to screen to see if there are any special talents—ah, I mean the type who can read and count very quickly , so that they can be directly assigned to the corresponding counterpart positions, and there is no need to waste each other's time." Especially these girls who were brought in by monsters have almost no experience as maids, even if she wants to bring in new ones, she can't find many. An 'old man' who can lead people.It's not as fast and convenient as group training.

Although there is a saying like 'gold always shines', compared to putting people in ordinary positions for a certain period of time before discovering their talents, it is definitely better to put them in the right position from the beginning to make people shine.

"As for the assessment, without taking an exam, how can we intuitively determine the other party's mastery of the training content? Job responsibilities, job requirements, and basic arithmetic, reading and writing, all of which can be included in the test paper, although the test is not a judgment The only standard for a person, but it is the most convenient and intuitive way to understand at this stage."

She can't observe and understand each of them one-on-one.

Listening to the half-understanding demon-eliminating sister and brother, he smiled awkwardly——no, he is indeed a cultured nobleman.The requirements for hiring servants are so high.

"That, that."

Coral decided not to continue this topic that she didn't understand.

"Excuse me, do you know about monsters?" It's safer to bring the topic into the scope of my own expertise.

"monster?"

The girl who led the way stopped, turned her head and looked at the two people behind her.

"Yes, the city lord invited us here to deal with some monsters, do you know this? I think the city is quite peaceful, it doesn't look like there are monsters?"

She doesn't understand the work in the City Lord's Mansion, and she doesn't need to understand, so she should ask herself what she needs to care about.In addition to tidying up, she and Amber also explored the city.

No sign of the monster was found, and the residents of the city did not seem to have been tortured by the monster.There was no mention of monsters during the conversation.If it wasn't for the fact that the city was attacked by monsters, then the most likely thing is that the city lord had murderous intentions against some monsters.

This is not surprising, although not in the city, but there are monsters nearby are always a threat to the city lord.It's normal to want to be the first to remove the threat.

That's why he offered such a generous reward, but he didn't know what kind of monster he was going to deal with, if it was a well-known big monster... Coral glanced at his younger brother who was curiously looking at the young girl leading the way.

If you really want to hunt down the famous big monster, at least you have to send your brother back.

The younger brother has no actual combat experience against monsters, so it is too dangerous to face big monsters.

"Well... not sure yet."

Finally reached the place, before the girl reached out, the shoji door was pulled open.

"uncertain?"

Coral blinked in surprise.

"Yes, because I'm still exploring, and actually I want the exorcists to do more than exterminate demons."

……I think?

Coral keenly noticed her words.

Realizing the meaning of this sentence, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and stared blankly at the girl they thought was a relatively high-ranking maid walked into the room and walked straight to the front seat.

The old witch who opened the door earlier followed her and bowed in salute: "Your Highness."

"Excuse me, you can continue to complete your work." In addition to asking Sanae to write letters to the exorcist and witches, she also asked Sanae to compile the knowledge and skills of exorcising demons and coping experiences she had learned into a written version. with.

"Yes...but those two people?"

"They belong to the exorcist family, and they are my guests."

"I see." The old witch saluted, "I'm in the next room, please call me if you need anything."

After she finished speaking, she retreated to the connected side room.The newly appointed city lord has an idea, and she doesn't need to say anything more.All you have to do is follow the orders.

The girl——A Yuan put the documents in her hands aside, and then waved to the two people who stood blankly at the door.

"Thanks for your hard work, just put these here."

Hearing the girl's greeting, Shan Shan and Hu Po didn't step forward immediately. They realized something, but couldn't believe it, so they continued to stand at the door in a daze, like two sculptures.

"what happened?"

Flipping through the unfinished business before, but seeing no movement between the two of them, A Yuan raised his head and asked again.

"That, that..."

Coral licked her lips.

"City Lord..."

"It's me." A Yuan pointed to herself.

"Then, that recruited us..." Coral felt that it was difficult for her to breathe.

She propped her chin with one hand and raised the corner of her mouth: "It's me too."

wow.

The document that was originally held in his hand fell to the ground in a crash.

How should I put it, I still miss it.

Looking at his dumbfounded expression, he wanted to say it but dared not, and wanted to believe it but felt that it subverted the three views.

Who was the last time you saw that expression?

She moved her fingers to recall.

Ah, he seems to be the son of the daimyo of the land of water.She remembered his name was...

Amano...ah, it's called Amano Sho.

The ninja who was able to stand in front of her would control his expression well even if he couldn't believe it, so the only one who showed such an obvious expression when he knew his identity was the young master.

... I don't know how he is now, whether he is working hard to manage his own city, whether he is still spending huge sums of money on dolls.

Speaking of which, the reason why Ah Yuan was so impressed with him was also because he was the first person to buy that 'expensive luxury' doll.

At that time, the time was tight and the task was heavy, so I didn't pay much attention to it. It's quite interesting to see the same expression now.

Or should she try to hide her female identity this time?Might as well watch it a few more times.

She thought a little wickedly.

But the focus now is to get the two of them out of petrochemicals quickly so that they can answer their own questions.

So she said with a good temper: "If necessary, I can provide other proofs."

"No... no need!"

Coral plopped and knelt down together with Amber.

"Before... I'm really sorry! I know it's shameless to say this, but please let us use our military exploits to make up for the previous faux pas..."

what did we do...

Thinking of the way she treated people like a maid and asked things, Shan Shan felt her eyes go dark, and her throat was so tight that she could hardly make a sound.She lowered her head, not daring to look at the adult's expression.

Although it was because the other party didn't reveal their identity first, they made a wrong judgment first-where the city lord would move things by himself!But no matter what, it is a fact that they are being unreasonable to the city lord. If the other party really uses this incident to attack the demon masters, they really have no way to justify it.

Although the exorcist has helped many nobles, but if she really asks for help, she doesn't think these nobles will come forward for their clan.

A Yuan waved his hand, "Huh? Ah, what happened just now? Don't worry about it."

"Get up quickly, put the documents here, I still have a lot of things I want to ask you."

"Yes... ah! I'm sorry."

Hearing what A Yuan said, Shan Shan noticed the document that just fell to the ground because of nervousness.

... What to do, even more desperate.

Is there any way to go back in time to before they came to town?She must be standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, not going anywhere.

With the matter of "being unreasonable to the nobles" first, the matter of "the lord of the city is a woman, and a very young girl" is not unacceptable.

Coral and Amber knelt down cautiously not far from the young city lord.

The stack of documents has been placed in the place designated by the city lord, and they are now waiting for a verdict.

Although the city lord said 'don't care' just now, they really couldn't pretend that nothing happened.

Seeing that the two were tense like springs being pressed to the extreme, A Yuan smiled and shook his head, then took something from the cabinet next to him, and walked in front of the two.Bend down and reach out.

"Do you want some sugar? Although it's not very good sugar."

It was brought back from some monster's old lair, and it was just a cloudy amber fragment, but it was also a very precious taste in this era.

——It is only at this time that Ah Yuan will miss the system and the system mall.

If it is still there, I can come up with better things.

"Yeah?"

After responding nervously, Coral realized the hand stretched out in front of her.

She blinked and looked up.

The handsome and gentle city lord was looking at himself with a smile.

"Take it."

Seeing that the female exorcist finally dared to look at her, A Yuan took her hand and put the candy in her hand.

"Then let's talk about business now." She walked back to the desk and pulled out a piece of paper full of words.

"Maybe you already know, not only your clan of exorcising demons, I also invited many other witches and monks who have the ability to exorcise demons."

"Yes... I have heard of it."

Demon extermination masters also have their own circles. Although the news circulation in this era is not so convenient, they also have their own contact methods.Such a generous 'employment' will naturally attract attention.

It's just that they didn't think much about it, they just thought that the city lord had encountered a very powerful monster, or wanted to establish his own reputation and wanted to hunt down some big monster somewhere.

Aside from making a name for yourself on the battlefield, the best way to become famous is to do something brave that no one else can.

Crusade against big monsters is a very common way.

No matter how many monks and exorcists are hired, as long as it is organized by a certain adult, the achievements and reputation belong to this adult.

"So you mean?"

Coral also considered this matter at first, but after the conversation just now, she felt that it was not the case.

"Well... I have some ideas that I want to realize, but I still want to ask some questions before I say it." A Yuan took the paper full of words and scanned it at a glance.Here is the plan she wrote (simplified version) with notes added later.

Because there is still a lot of work to do, she is afraid that she will miss something, so every time she thinks of something, she will add something to it.I wrote a whole chapter before I knew it.

"First of all, I still want to ask, what is the income of your demon masters? What is the charging model? Is there a price?"

"And how do you assign tasks, is it based on individuals or in teams? According to what principles are you assigning tasks?"

???

Coral froze.

"And your inheritance—that is, how did you teach your ability to eliminate demons? Is it the master-student model? Each family teaches each other? Or is there a school where everyone trains together?"

A Yuan didn't care about the other party's increasingly dull expression, and asked questions one by one.

"Ah, I would like to take the liberty to ask you how your casualties are, how you deal with seriously injured and disabled clansmen and families who have lost their main labor force... Well, let's leave it at that."

Coral listened very carefully at first, for fear of missing some key words, but the more she listened, the more confused she became.

She understands each word individually, but why can't it be understood when combined.

She blinked, and blinked again.

She... shouldn't they be talking about monsters?Why do you feel that you are getting farther and farther away from the monster?

The author has something to say: here we come, Ah Yuan’s long-lost questionnaire survey reappears in the arena (hey)

Fat Gagen is here, kiss my big and small cuties.

You see, is such a fat update worth the fat number of comments? (eagerly)
