I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

Yixi's team moved into the hotel on the third day after the employment contract was signed.It took them some time to quit their part-time jobs, pack their bags, and of course secretly discuss this strange employment job in private.

They know that noble gentlemen have a lot of money and eccentricities, and they do often receive some inexplicable employment, but this is the first time they have encountered such a money-giving business with a lot of money, little things, and good treatment. What Issie mentioned to them at the time was It has been discussed whether there is something behind it.

In particular, the work content also includes the part of sleeping with (covered with a quilt).

Although the reputation of their Hall mercenaries is not very good, and they do not belong to the conventional category of people's interest, but who knows the strange tastes of noble gentlemen.

"That one is already 16 years old." Ned solemnly reminded Issy to take precautions - under the premise that the employer is a nobleman and the price is reasonable, they have no option to refuse the employment, all they can do is to pay attention to precautions.

If you're really unlucky...

"Don't worry." Izzy distributed the prepaid deposit to his companions, saying that he had thought about this possibility a long time ago, "That's another price."

Leaving aside the question of who would suffer if he, a commoner mercenary, slept with a young and handsome nobleman, judging from the duke's delicate and frail figure, whether the hardware would work or not is still open to question.

——Recalling the team meeting that happened once, Issy, who was acting as a cushion for Lucien at this moment, praised his precise judgment at the beginning.

As for the person in my arms who rubs back and forth all day long without being weaned, I'm afraid she's still as innocent as a child, and doesn't have the bad thoughts of an adult at all.

Izzy glanced at the hourglass on the table thinking about it—this kind of hourglass is a commonly used timing tool for nobles. The fine sand in it flows at a constant speed and steadily under the effect of magic, and the upper half of the sand will automatically reverse after flowing.There is a scale on the hourglass to indicate the time, and the upper and lower parts are painted with different colors to distinguish day and night.

It means that half of the fine sand has fallen in the transparent quicksand pool during the day, and it is already close to noon.

"Please allow me to leave for a while." Issy said, "My companion is coming soon."

Today was the day when his team moved here, and Izzy felt that he still had to show his face as the captain.

Lucien snorted dissatisfiedly, but still sat up from Issy.Yixi asked him for leave yesterday, and he couldn't refuse for a good reason.

"It's set up and bring people here." The maid took two soft pillows and placed them behind Lucien. Lucien adjusted his posture and sat forward. His eyes were still fixed on the document, but his mouth moved, " I allow them to meet."

He hasn't seen any other Huore people yet, and the bear boy is very interested in this.

Yixi responded in a low voice, and hurried to the gate of the hotel to wait for the pick-up.

Anna arranged their residence next to the guards, at the outermost edge of the hotel.No matter what, foreign mercenaries are not as trustworthy as their own, just like Issy has never been alone with Lucien, there are always two or more servants standing in the room, and there are guards at the door at any time.

And when Izzy brought his team to Lucien, William stood beside Lucien himself.

I have to say that the brown-skinned and silver-haired Hall is quite visually impressive standing together. He also has the same outline and deep golden animal eyes. Together they are like beautiful dolls for sale in a shipping container.

Lucien looked at the past one by one, and found that the aesthetics of bear children were quite online, and Issy was definitely the most beautiful one among the pretty dolls.

So he satisfactorily gave Izzy half a day off to familiarize himself with the environment with his friends, and also gave William some time to report on his work.

——After a lot of back and forth with Mr. East, William and Man Sui finalized a contract for the sale of grain. If Lucien reads that there is no problem, Man Sui will take it to the Wizards Guild for a magic contract After filing, the contract can be signed under the witness of a mage sent by the mage union who is qualified to host the contract ceremony.

However, the representatives of the two parties signing the contract are William and Pirlo.After all, one party played word games on the contract and set up traps, which made the other party suffer more than once. In order to avoid this kind of risk, the signer of the contract will not be the real boss.

In this way, in case of being cheated, sacrificing a subordinate still has a chance to break the contract and come back.

Besides, the Mage Union has strict standards for the degree of backlash in magic contracts. Bloody backlash in business contracts that lack arms, legs, or even lose lives is expressly prohibited.

How could a loyal and good subordinate not have the consciousness to make such a small sacrifice for his own side.

Man Sui also specifically stated in the contract that the gold coins to pay for the goods should be the imperial currency, that is, the gold coins with the royal griffin emblem.

The purity of the imperial currency is the highest in the mainland, and accordingly it is also the most valuable.For example, in the Principality of Fars across the Moon Mountains from the empire, one Fars gold coin can only be exchanged for eight imperial silver coins, so contracts involving money will be marked with the type of currency to avoid losses due to exchange rates.

Of course, the value of this currency will also fluctuate with the prosperity or decline of the country, and there will be currency merchants that have always existed although they are strictly prohibited by various countries.

Switching to Lucien's background before crossing, it's the so-called speculation in foreign exchange.

Lucien didn't even know whether he should complain about the fact that the world's technology tree is a mess, but it has developed ahead in strange places.

The ceremony of signing the contract does not require Lucien to come forward. After the contract is established, the rest is the matter of Mansui.

In the end, Lucien spent 50 gold coins to buy [-] catties of grain and a two-month supply of vegetables from Mansui. Wheat accounts for [-]% of the grain and beans account for [-]%. There are no specific types of vegetables, and Mansui's vegetable inventory is free. configuration.

The goods will be delivered within seven days of Lucien’s arrival in Velvet—subject to the receipt signed by William himself; the payment for the goods will be paid in three installments: [-]% of the deposit will be paid within three days of signing the contract, and the wheat and beans will be delivered The final payment is [-]% of the final payment, and the vegetables will arrive in two installments, and the final [-]% final payment will be paid after all the vegetables arrive.

It sounds like a lot to buy, but based on the average level of one catty of grain per day for an adult, this amount of grain plus the existing grain in Velvet County will ensure that people will not starve to death next year, and farmers will still be able to survive. Keep the crops planted in spring.

Lucien stretched his waist, and glanced at his personal asset balance on the system page.

There is one thing to say, he is richer than the Velvet government.

……

The finalization of the food procurement means that the day of leaving Sovina City is getting closer. When the big ship with carved beams and painted buildings like a palace on the water docks at the pier of Sovina City, Anna directs the maids and servants to board the ship to arrange cleaning. Prepare for the second half of the trip.

The second half of the journey to Velvet is by water.

If you go by land, you will not only have to take a long detour, but you will also pass through forests and dungeons inhabited by many monsters on the way. It will take a month and a half.

And if you take the water route from the White River, you can reach Velveer directly from Sovina City in half a month at the earliest.The Baihe River is wide and deep enough, and large ships of the imperial standard can sail freely. At the same time, due to the presence of fire-type crystals under the river, it will not freeze all year round.

And as the most important waterway transportation channel in the northern province, the development of the Baihe waterway is very mature. There are barriers set up by mages to drive away monsters, there are many riverside cities that stop for supplies, and there are security boats patrolling back and forth to prevent water robbers and robbers from doing evil.

For this reason, the interior officer even specially allocated a boat to Lucien.

And when Lucien changed from the carriage to the big boat and went all the way north, the upper management of Velvet was also discussing the sudden airborne lord.

The largest manor in the county, Viscount Norbert, held a banquet.The guests who received the invitation letter for the banquet were almost all the top of the Pyramid in Wilveld County - the owner of the manor, the consul, the priest of the church, and the presidents of the major trade unions. at the banquet table.

"It's just a sick man. Looking at your battle, I thought His Majesty Will Rose was coming."

Well, it's actually not that kind.

Priest Eleanor looked at the Viscount Norbert who was on the main seat with an unswerving expression, and then at the eccentric Andersi Archmage beside him, and lowered his head to quietly study the pattern of the tablecloth.

He didn't even know why he was sitting here. Although his reputation as the priest of the Church of Light was resounding and glamorous, he had already seen clearly that Velvet was the son of Viscount Norbert and Archmage Andersi. game.

Viscount Norbert was dressed luxuriously, with a dignified face and a neat short beard.The Norber family has deep roots in Velvet, and it can be said that they are Velvet's invisible lords. If you want to say who least wants the airborne Duke Velvet to take office smoothly, Viscount Norb said that no one would dare to fight for the first place.

The Archmage Andasi is Velveer's number one master, and concurrently serves as the guildmaster of the Mage Guild and the Adventurer's Guild.This skinny and mean mage was destined not to be friends with Viscount Norbert from the first day he came to Velveer.

Archmage Andasi was born as a commoner, and he was able to sit on an equal footing with all the nobles at the table by virtue of his outstanding magical talent.

But in the eyes of Viscount Norbert, civilians are civilians, and "Great Mage" is not a title of nobility.It is also said that the Archmage Andasi suffered a lot of humiliation because of his status in the early years, and directly blacklisted the entire aristocratic circle. He would rather hang his neck and use the name of "Grand Mage" as a commoner to death than bow his head and be sealed.

——The empire does not have strict restrictions on the class crossing of talented people. As long as talented civilians obtain an intermediate-level or higher strength assessment in the Mage Guild or Warrior Guild, and swear allegiance to the Empire, they can be awarded the most basic level of "Knight" Noble title.

If you want to go up from a knight, it depends on your own ability, but with the strength of the Archmage Andersi, if you are willing to serve the empire, you can at least start as a baron.

Of course, if he is willing to join the Church of Light, it is actually a good way out. The clergy are independent of the class pyramid of nobles and commoners. He was still respected.

It's a pity that the great mage Andasi belonged to the disrespectful sect among the mages, and what he pursued was to explore the exhaustion of "divine power" in the body of a "human". Half awe and reverence.

This point alone has already made Eleanor the officiant faintly leaning towards Viscount Norbert in the lineup.

Although he also agrees with the views of Archmage Andasi in his heart.The duke who was airborne was notoriously weak and sick. He didn't have any talent, so he just pretended to marry a boudoir princess and coaxed him.

Besides, even if the duke is really empowered to become a real lord, what kind of trouble can an ignorant idiot who has never been in the palace cause.

"My lords, I have an idea." A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the officiant Elaine's thoughts.
