"Master Tripwood."
After the first few Mages learned about the details of the job and the benefits, they directly rejected Lin's invitation. The last fat man, who wore a golden tassel carefully, was full of flattery. He flattered Lin the moment they met.
How could Lin not be impressed by his conspicuous figure? He was the fat man who helped Lin Po fill up the crowd on the street of the tavern in his first lecture two weeks ago and squeezed himself to the front to listen to the lecture. Since they had met once and he had a favor to ask, hoping that someone could help him with the school's affairs, Lin said politely, "Friend, this is the second time we meet. Thank you for your help last time."
"Oh, Master, you still remember me. This is really an honor."
"Hey, I'm not a master. I don't dare to call myself a master." After a moment of modesty, Lin looked at the resume. Because it was an official organization like the Association, as long as they spent a little more money, the Association would hand over the applicant's simple information to the employer, including the number of missions completed and the satisfactory replies from other employers. These were all related to the question of whether the applicant was trustworthy. Some people would care, and some wouldn't. Lin belonged to the former.
At least he saw the name column clearly written "Eli Huber," an official Mage. Other data included some rumored magic that he was good at and other people's comments about him. What caught Lin Chuan's attention was the person's mission completion experience. Most of the known parts were static missions, not missions that required one to risk one's life.
Although it wasn't the first time Lin had seen this information, Lin did like Eli Huber the most among the applicants this time. However, he still asked, "Mr. Huber, do you know what you have to do in this job? Do you have any questions about the content of the job? "
After all, it was impossible to be too detailed in the recruitment notice of the North Tower. Therefore, such a face-to-face meeting was an opportunity for both sides to clarify the agreement.
"That's not important," Eli Huber said with a smile. "Being able to get close to you is the most important thing."
As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. To be honest, seeing this fat man's somewhat excessive behavior, Lin Po had already discounted him in his heart. However, he wasn't a person who could hide his emotions. He couldn't help but frown and examine the intentions of the person in front of him.
Eli Huber was also smart. When he saw this expression, he immediately put on an apologetic expression and said, "Okay, I admit that the intention of doing this is to have more opportunities to ask about Language P. Therefore, it's not a problem for me to pay or teach as many children as I want. I'll just treat it as an opportunity to learn from you. "
"Yes." Was such an answer his true thoughts? However, Lin did not intend to pursue the matter further. If the other party wanted something, it meant that the other party would have to pay a corresponding price. What he feared the most was the people who only wanted to cause trouble and drag him down. However, Lin still asked, "Is there any problem with the pay and working hours?"
"No problem, Master Tripwood. As long as I have the opportunity to ask for your advice, those are just small matters. It's just that … you won't charge me extra for this, right? "At the end of his words, Eli Huber showed a pretentious look of panic.
Lin could not be bothered to expose the other party. It was just like when he was on Earth, when he had to work in society. He smiled and said, "Asking for advice from a Master, of course you have to pay. Have you ever seen a Master who is so cheap and kind to help others? However, if it's a discussion between peers and you still have to pay for it, then we can't be friends anymore. What do you think? "
"Haha." Eli Huber laughed awkwardly and said, "Then … Your Excellency …"
"Just call me Gablash." Lin packed up his things and got up. He smiled and said to the fat man who acted like they were close, "Welcome to the academy. Your Excellency Eli Huber. "
"Eli, Eli is fine, Your Excellency Gablash." Eli Huber excitedly grabbed Lin's hand and shook it fiercely. His expression of joy was overflowing. Just before Lin went crazy, he let go of his hand. The fat man, who was trying his best to make friends, asked, "Then when are we going back to the academy?"
"Are you planning to go to work today?" Lin asked in surprise.
"Of course, it's better for everyone to get familiar with the environment and the group of children earlier."
It was an irresistible reason. Lin shrugged and said, "That's good. I also have to go back to the academy in the afternoon. It's now the early stages of establishment, and there are still many things to do. If you're willing to help, that would be great. "
"No problem, let's go now."
"No hurry, we have to go to the East Tower first. There are some goods that we have to bring back to the academy."
The two came to the East Tower, the office of the Association's subsidiary chamber of commerce, and followed the instructions to the warehouse of goods. They just happened to see Kaya busy tying up stacks of winter clothes and putting them on the donkey cart. Next to her, Najib, the manager, was directing the coolies to take out the goods from the warehouse and count them.
When he saw Lin appear, Najib was the first to greet him. "Your Excellency Tripwood, the things you asked for are almost ready. Do you have any other orders? "
"That's right." With his own apprentice watching from the side, Lin didn't waste any effort to count again. Just looking at the cart pulled by the donkey and the goods piled up like a small mountain, he couldn't help but complain, "Only this cart? No bigger ones? "
With a troubled expression, Najib said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. It's a bit troublesome to transfer vehicles at the last minute, and it's only because it's close, less than a day's journey, so I borrowed this cart. If it were any further, I'd have to wait very long in the queue. "
"Alright, I know that, so I don't blame you." Lin was a bit helpless. What was not there was not there, and it couldn't be born. But he thought of something else, and asked Najib, "Mr. Manager, do you know where Sir Shor Eon is? I've been looking for him all morning, but I couldn't find him. The president isn't here either. "
"I heard that the president went to discuss something with the other two big shots. It seems that some people are working together to do something bad against the Cartier District. I'm not sure about Sir Eon. "
Only the presidents of the other two districts could be called big shots with the old man from Orange Eaton. A certain someone couldn't care less about the affairs of the higher-ups. As for the guy who couldn't be found, it was a real headache. Lin was actually paying for a lot of the expenses now. However, the relevant plans of the academy had already been handed over, and the person in charge of the money bag didn't care about it.
Speaking of which, he was the one who handed over the money in the beginning. He just handed it over, so he couldn't do anything about it? Helpless.
The three people, two big and one small, followed behind the donkey cart and slowly moved toward the academy outside Wulian City.
Along the way, the fatty, who acted as if he was familiar with them, talked non-stop. It was a pity that Lin and Kaya weren't good chatting friends, so they could only answer one sentence at a time. But the two were good listeners, at least they didn't show any impatience. Lin treated it as if he was watching a performance and watched Eli Huber talk non-stop.
The content wasn't completely insignificant. Many of the tricks to get along with people in Wulian City were people like him who had more experience. Although Lin had lived in Wulian City for a long time, most of the time, he was running around outside and walking in the mountains. Other than when he had just transmigrated, he rarely stayed in the city for a long time.
Seeing that everyone was a little tired from listening, Eli Huber changed the topic and talked about something that someone would definitely be interested in. "Sir Guebrash, you said you were looking for Sir Shure Eon. Is there something you need?"
Thinking that the other party was about to become a part of the academy, he had the right to know some things. And it was obvious that the other party had some information in his hands. So Lin organized his thoughts and said, "The original intention of setting up the academy was to take care of the children who gathered in Wulian City because of the Charlie Richard Fund, but no one was willing to take them in. It can be seen as a continuation of the use of the fund, so it should be a very logical thing to use that fund to establish and maintain the academy. But since I put forward the plan and budget and started the establishment of the academy, that person hasn't paid the required expenses yet. That's why I'm so anxious to find that person. "
"Oh, so that's how it is."
"So, do you know where Sir Eon is? If you know, please tell me. "
The fat man spread out his hands and said, "I don't know where he is, but I know where he might go." Eli Huber didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "In this Wulian City, there is a place that nobles will definitely go. If you want to find a knight, that's the right place to go. "At the same time, his hand reached out and took out a small card that Lin was familiar with.
This small card was given to Lin by the noble women who had fought against Fen when he first returned to Wulian City. They wanted a Lich who had just been resurrected from a thousand years of imprisonment to go to a place to broaden his horizons. The paper card's material, ink, and handwriting were all of the best quality, but it was only used to record an address.
It was just that at that time, Fen realized that there was nothing to argue about with a group of ostentatious peacocks. So that matter was left unsettled, and that small card had long been thrown away by Lin. Now that he saw it again, a certain someone felt that what should come would not run away. He was deeply moved.
"Okay. Even if Sir Eon will attend this banquet, I don't have an invitation card. Do I have to block the door? "
Chuckling, Eli Huber put away the small card and said, "This card only tells others the venue of the banquet. The identity of a magus is the best invitation. "
