The new "Sleeping Spell" was not just a single building, but a residential area covering an area of about 7,000 square meters.
As a key new residential area, it was not only equipped with artesian running water and heating, but also a four-story frame house with well-developed concrete casting technology. Its interior division was exactly the same as that of the Witch Building.
In addition, Roland had also built a two-story conference hall in the center of the community for the witches of Sleeping Island to carry out their activities.
In fact, on the night before the migrants arrived in Neverwinter, the welcome banquet was held here. After half a month, the hall was once again full of witches.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tilly walked to the podium and began to read the recruitment order from Roland Wimbledon, as well as a new salary system.
"... This is the current work arrangement. The Sleeping Spell can get 30% of the income generated by the witches. The money will be used to improve everyone's life, expand the scale of the Sleeping Spell, and other aspects that will be needed in the future. " Princess Tilly smiled and said with fervor and assurance, "At first glance, it seems that I'm being exploited by my brother. After all, when we were on Sleeping Island, the commission paid by the Fjords merchants all belonged to us. But in fact, the merchants would also take the opportunity to put forward many additional conditions, such as buying their food and daily necessities at a high price, and often giving us a discount. But there aren't so many additional conditions here. "
"In addition, the 30% given by Roland is already more than the income of Sleeping Island. In addition, most of the new work only needs to consume magic power, and we don't have to personally go to the unknown sea to take risks, so it's much easier. Comparing the two, we can conclude that I'm not the one being exploited, and it can even be said that I'm taking advantage of my brother. "
This sentence caused a low burst of laughter.
"But!" Tilly suddenly raised her voice, "All this has nothing to do with the remuneration that I'm going to talk about. Previously, no matter how much the remuneration was paid by the Fjords merchants, the Sleeping Spell, which lacked everything, could only use it as a whole. So in the end, only bread, cotton and other things were distributed uniformly to everyone. "
"But this time, everyone will get a tangible return, instead of a series of invisible and intangible numbers. As for how to use them, it's your freedom. Now, please open the envelopes on your tables. "
Molly had long noticed the envelope stamped with the seal of the Graycastle Tower, but she refrained from touching it. Now that she heard Royal Highness Tilly's request, she couldn't wait to tear open the envelope.
"This is … the new Gwent deck?" Shadow, who was sitting at the side, craned his head over.
"You have one too? Go look at yourself." Molly turned her body to the side, blocking his gaze.
"Tsk."
Inside the envelope was a piece of paper the size of a palm. It looked extremely smooth, but it was bumpy to the touch. It could be easily bent, but it would not leave creases like ordinary paper.
The moment Molly saw it, she fell in love with it.
It was a work of art.
Although it was similar in size to the popular Gwent cards in the Witch Union, she did not think the two were the same. It was because the latter was simply too exquisite. Not only were the patterns gorgeous, but they were also extremely complicated, as if they were lines drawn with strands of hair. And these lines were not only used to fill the surface of the paper, but also formed a variety of patterns and words.
For example, the front of the paper was the emblem of a tower and a spear, and the back was a mountain illuminated by the rising sun. Below the patterns were written the words "Issued by the Royal Family of Graycastle" and "Exclusive for Witches", and the other four corners were written with three tens and an unknown symbol.
What Molly loved the most was that when she slowly turned the paper, the patterns on both sides would refract gold under the light, as if the lines were carved out of gold.
"Uh … it doesn't seem to be Gwent," Shadow also noticed the difference. "I remember the numbers on the cards are marked on the same side."
"Is this a gift from His Majesty?"
"But Lady Tilly clearly said it was a reward."
"Well … yours is the same?" Orbit, who was on the other side, also came over.
"It should be the same for everyone."
"What does this symbol mean?"
"I don't know, but I feel like I've seen it somewhere before …"
Whispers rose and fell in the hall, all the witches were attracted by the gorgeous paper in their hands, and only when Tilly spoke again did the discussion slightly subside.
"The thing in your hands is called paper money. Just like the name, it has the same function as money, the difference is that this kind of paper money is only issued to witches, and can only be used by witches. "
"You mean … it's a Golden Dragon made of paper?" Someone asked.
"There's no harm in understanding it that way, but it can be used to buy some things that the Golden Dragon can't easily buy." Tilly nodded. "For example, the ten dollar paper in your hands can be exchanged for a whole bottle of Chaos Drink or five strawberry ice creams in the Castle District."
Molly couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She still deeply remembered the delicious food she had eaten at the welcome banquet, it could be said that she had never imagined the taste of it in her life. Especially the latter, the round pink color, the soft and cold texture, and the sweet and enchanting aroma, almost put together all the beautiful words she could think of. Compared with the ice cream, the fishy salted fish soup on the Fjord Islands could not even be called food.
And this beautiful paper money could be exchanged for unforgettable delicious food, and in fact, it was five servings?
Judging from the lively response in the hall, she was not the only witch who was very interested in this.
"Of course, the things you can exchange for are not only food, but also daily clothes, things you use... as long as it's a new product made in Neverwinter, it will first appear in the shops in the Castle District." Tilly then said loudly, "In short, the paper money is the reward for responding to the recruitment — according to the different working hours, the reward will also vary. I have to point out that it's not a necessity for living, even if you don't work, you can live a comfortable life. To be precise, it's an embellishment, or a reward to make life richer. Therefore, the choice is up to you, whether you accept the recruitment or not, it's up to you. "
Unexpectedly, there was no noisy discussion in the hall, probably because they knew that their leader still had something to say, so all the witches focused their attention on Tilly.
"But my sisters, this matter is not only about enjoyment..." Tilly's tone softened. "Do you remember the unfair treatment we suffered after we awakened as witches? At that time, I'm afraid that everyone had the same thought — it would be great if there was a place where witches and ordinary people could live together. "
