The second floor was Josiah's workshop. Josiah had been sleeping here for the past few days, and Hiri was no exception.
However, the situation today was different. Josiah had moved all the money he had earned since the opening of the Hearthstone Tavern to the second floor.
"If I put this pile of gold coins out in the wild, it'll definitely attract a giant dragon to come and sleep!"
Hiri kept casting illumination spells to brighten the room so that the mountain of gold coins would shine brightly.
She had been with Josiah for a long time, and Josiah had done many things that shocked her beyond her imagination. However, this was the only time that Hiri felt like it was real.
It was money! It was so much money that she would not have to worry about food for the rest of her life. If Josiah had not stopped her from saying that the money was too dirty, Hiri would have rolled around on top of it!
"Calm down, Hiri."
Josh stared at the girl who had been on the brink of insanity in the past. No one would be able to remain calm after seeing such a huge sum of money placed right in front of them in the past, despite having lived a life of hunting brown bears and tigers in the mountains for food.
"I'm calm."
Hiri took a deep breath. She was someone who had seen tens of thousands of gold coins before, and it was not even hers.
"So what do you plan to do? Find a few boxes and bury them? "
This was the most common way for nobles to handle their wealth. One was to store it in a treasury, but some nobles had their own places to store their wealth.
"This tavern is still too small to expand the area of the tavern."
Josiah arranged the papers on his desk. Josiah was not an expert in economics and management, but he could still draft up an employment contract.
Ever since the introduction of patent laws, Noland had started to pay attention to all kinds of contracts. For example, employment contracts had been regulated since a long time ago.
"Oh right, Hiri, sign this."
Josiah took out an exquisite piece of paper and pushed it in front of Hiri.
"What's this?"
Hiri picked up the piece of paper and glanced at its contents.
"Indenture." Josiah joked with Hiri.
"Then it doesn't matter if I sign it or not …"
Hiri pointed at the ruby necklace on her neck. It was part of a girl's nature to like to decorate herself with shiny things. Hiri did not have this kind of nature, not to mention that the ruby on her neck could explode at any time.
"Of course. Once you sign it, it means that you are my official employee. I will remove the explosive Primordial Crystal from your neck."
Josh had already interacted with this female magic caster for a long time, and he felt that it was about time for her to regain her freedom.
"Take it off? Finally, I can get rid of this hateful thing. Every night, I don't dare to sleep on my side. "
After Hiri admitted that she knew Josiah, she was immersed in the panic of being kidnapped by the devil.
In the following period of time, Ciri had resigned herself to her fate. She found her life to be quite interesting.
After all, the advantage of being with Josiah was that those movies that were being screened by Noland all over the country, Hiri could see the original script first, and she could openly ask Josiah for updates.
This was the glory of being the number one fan! And … responsibility!
Hiri picked up the pen and signed her name on the piece of paper. The paper emitted a dim light, and an inscription replaced the wax stamp, branded with the mark of "Noland Commerce Association."
This contract also officially took effect the moment Hiri signed her name, representing that Hiri officially became an artist in Josiah's Chamber of Commerce.
"Congratulations, Miss Mage. You are now a person who has signed a contract with the devil."
Josiah stood up from behind the desk and reached out to take off the red crystal that was worn on Hiri's neck for nearly half a month.
The skin on Hiri's neck was very delicate. When Josiah's fingers touched the mage's neck, Josiah could clearly feel the heat coming from her body, and her body became a little stiff.
Gray magic overflowed from Josiah's fingers, and the black ribbon wrapped around Hiri's neck was untied.
After Josiah took off the red crystal, he injected magic into it and erased all the inscriptions branded on it.
"This crystal can be reused?"
Hiri had successfully obtained a Level Four spellcaster certificate a few days ago. She was only 19 years old in the Noland Spellcaster Association, and it was no exception to describe her as a genius among geniuses. One should know that her sister was still working hard for this.
So, Hiri was very sensitive to the fact that Josiah had erased the inscriptions engraved on the crystal.
"No, this is a special characteristic of my magic. With just three inscriptions, it's still very easy to make it ineffective."
The magic of a chaos demon could destroy the composition of any magic and cause it to fall into a state of 'chaos.'
Strictly speaking, the crystal was a one-time use item. After Josiah erased the three inscriptions on the red crystal, it really became a 'somewhat good-looking stone.'
"Then can you give it to me as a souvenir …?" Hiri suddenly said.
"Souvenir? As a souvenir for Miss Hiri, you were imprisoned by me for half a month? "
Josiah was sure that this young mage must have Stockholm Syndrome, or the syndrome of 'I'll die if I don't see the next movie script'.
"It's useless to me anyway. And I admit that you look good wearing it."
When Josiah handed the useless crystal back to Hiri, he saw a faint blush on Hiri's fair cheeks.
"I just think this thing can be sold for some money."
Hiri unceremoniously took the 'collar' that she had worn for half a month from Josiah's hand. Before Hiri could explain further, a new guest arrived at Josiah's office.
"I … Am I disturbing you?"
Herland stood at the door of Josiah's office and looked at her younger sister meaningfully.
She didn't expect that the crazy girl who used Magician's Hand to wander around the elementary magic academy with a beehive would actually show a … shy side after growing up?
The God of Flowing Water and Healing Wingelk was above. Back in the day, Ciri was the dream lover of countless boys in the elementary school. Yet, Ciri didn't hesitate to beat every single one of them to the ground.
And she didn't use magic, but her fists!
From then on, she thought that her younger sister would no longer be reserved, shy, gentle, or any other words that a woman should have.
"No!"
Hiri yelled at her sister loudly. Josiah could only shrug to indicate that it was fine.
"Then Mr. Josiah, I have something that I hope you can take a look at."
Herland didn't come to visit Josiah just to find her younger sister. Instead, she saw something troublesome on her way back to the alchemy workshop.
