Demon Sage

Chapter 7: Work

There were rows of shops around. Donald, who was walking on the right side of the street, was holding a cloth bag with books in one hand and weighing the remaining coins in his pocket in the other.

"It's so expensive..."

It cost Donald 1 shilling to buy the book "Expel the Evil", which is a bit outrageous. When he first learned the price, he even had a slight suspicion that the store manager was defrauding.

However, after seeing the exact price tag on the back of the book, I have to admit that what is rare is more expensive.

There are still about 15 shillings of the remaining money, which is given by Infinita this month, as well as previous savings.

For ordinary people, as long as this money is saved, it can support two months of life, but in Donald's eyes, this money is absolutely not enough, he has too many things to do.

Because he had other things to do, he didn't stay in the bookstore for a long time, and he only drank half of the black tea that Cann Antoine brought.

In this limited time, he discovered the reason why the price of this book is so expensive.

The book "Expel the Evil" does mention the solution to dealing with demon possession or entanglement. This method is not as mysterious as it is imagined, and it can even be said that it can be done at any time, as long as there is money...

Church Baptism!

It is mentioned in the book that any orthodox church will provide baptism for believers and use the power of gods to expel evil existences.

This kind of ceremony requires believers to pay a certain price. According to the different baptism and purification rituals, there are different prices and requirements. The book mentions the Silver Moon Church, which has a parish in North Harkshire, and their internal baptism ceremony is the cheapest. It also costs 5 gold pounds...the most expensive can even reach nearly 100 gold pounds.

The effect is very good. It is said that as long as you undergo baptism, it is not only effective in expelling evil, but even the most low-level baptism, such as a common cold, fever and other minor ailments, will improve in a short time. As for the most advanced baptism , Donald didn't dare to look down.

For Donald, who is currently a homeless person, the lowest level of christening is an extravagant request. For 3 gold pounds, he has to maintain a state of not eating or drinking under the premise of receiving Infinita's four-month aid to save it.

And it's not necessarily useful!

Making money has suddenly become the most important thing, not only to solve physical problems, as a man with able-bodied limbs, Donald has a grudge in accepting his wife's assistance, especially under the premise that her behavior is unclear.

So Donald came to the commercial street and paid attention to the job sign outside the store. He needed a job to support his private activities while maintaining a normal life.

However, no matter what world you are in, the right job is not so easy to find.

It is suitable for civilians, there are no professional skills requirements, and the salary is high. Does this kind of work really exist?

The content of his predecessor's studies in the university was extremely professional, which meant that after Donald graduated, the good jobs he could find were limited, and the major counterparts included some primary jobs in the church. No.

And those high-paying jobs that civilians can get, such as lawyers, government workers, etc., require a long period of professional knowledge study, and Donald who has zero foundation does not have so many vacancies.

As for the last high-risk, high-reward certain jobs... they are all recorded in the code, not to mention that Donald has no way, even if there is, he would not dare.

A pub might be a good place to go.

Compared with other jobs, the professional requirements of this job are not high. In the work, you can contact people from all walks of life, and you can collect a lot of information. Besides, there should be tips in this era. Compared with the nearby ready-to-wear Store or grocery store, an extra income.

With the mentality of trying, Donald came to the Oak Tavern on Letis Street, two blocks away from Iris Street. Unlike Gesang Street, this is a more entertaining neighborhood, with several pubs and a large number of nightingales. shop.

Pleasant Night, Beauty Hotel... An undisguised store name, even though it's morning, there are still a few stores with their doors half-open.

The Oak Tavern is the largest shop in the street. Above the door is a wooden board hung on an iron shelf, carved with a brown oak fruit.

Standing outside, you can see a few scattered customers sitting in the tavern. The waiter with his sleeves up is sweeping the masonry floor, sprinkling some water from time to time, and pressing down the floating dust. Behind the bar stands a tall, thin man with a white face and no beard. Concentrating on wiping the wine glass.

He lowered his head and straightened his clothes, and took a photo in the window next to him, confirming that he had a good image. He was so handsome that he was more than enough to be a bartender, right?

"Mr. Grant, I'm sorry, we don't have a shortage of people now. In fact, if you come here three days in advance, I will sign you without hesitation. You know, there are quite a few Nightingale shops around here. My lady has no resistance to a young man like you, but I can’t dismiss the new waiter, we signed a contract for half a year, whoever breaches the contract will have to pay a penalty of 1 gold pound, which is not a small amount.”

Donald could only accept the reply given by the store manager. He might have a good image, but it wouldn't cost the store manager an extra 1 pound of liquidated damages. The new waiter only worked for three days and did nothing.

Giving someone 1 gold pound for no reason? The store manager said it would be heart-wrenching for several nights.

"Well, it seems that my luck is not very good...bye."

You can't do it here, you can only try your luck elsewhere.

"Hey, Mr. Grant, don't you know? Our Oak Tavern is an intermediary. Can you see the square wooden sign over there? The papers on it are messages from some people, recruiting, entrusting... There are many good jobs among them, such as Mr. Loudiff in Plum Lane, who found a clerical job here, with a monthly salary of 2 gold pounds!"

The manager of the tavern spared no effort in recommending his own notice board. It was the idea that his wife came up with. As long as you pay 5p, you can post your request on the notice board. There is a lot of traffic in the tavern. It's obviously much better to announce it on the street outside.

Donald's footsteps turned back again. Now there is no goal anyway, and it doesn't take much time to look at it.

The area of ​​the notice board is about one square meter, it is close to the wall, the height is at the position of the chest of ordinary people, and there is a cloth strip with black characters on it: If you have no intention, please do not touch!

The house is leaking and needs the help of a worker who has experience in repairing roofs. Salary: 6p.

The cat-hunting revelation, the cat in the house was lost, the last time I saw it was on Gesang Street, the coat was pure white, with a pinch of pale golden miscellaneous hair on its forehead, salary: 5 shillings.

Barn handling, the barn on the farm needs people to help carry grain bags, manual work, requires adult men, salary: 1 shilling.

......

His eyes lingered on these posted notices. He couldn't repair the house. It was always no problem to move the barn. There are other manual jobs. You can also earn some money. The pay is not high. It is something that people at the bottom can do. Even if the gentlemen starve to death, they will not take off their vests and roll up their sleeves to carry grain bags.

Donald didn't take this into consideration. After all, the education he received was different, and labor is the most honorable, not to mention that now is not the time to care about other people's opinions.

"Mr. Grant, have you found a job you like?"

The store manager was holding glue and paper in his hand. This was a new commission. Donald took a step aside and watched him post it, reading the contents.

"Assistant recruitment, the firm needs a certain level of education, active thinking, and can classify and extract information from some criminal cases. Weekly salary: 1 gold pound!"

Blinking his eyes twice, Donald repeatedly confirmed that the two words before the 1 gold pound in the remuneration was the weekly salary, not the monthly salary.

"It's a good job, isn't it? Just look at that."

Noticing Donald's surprise, the store manager took a photo of the notice, and then took out a piece of paper the size of a slap. It was a supplement to the recruitment of assistants: For those who are interested in recruiting assistants, there are preconditions. Translate the following text ......

"This is an ancient text. The client said that only those who have studied in this area can understand the meaning of these sentences. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com is the assistant he is looking for."

The place where the manager's finger was placed was a piece of black text or a symbol, and Donald's eyes focused.

He knows the meaning of this sentence, the source is not the memory of the predecessor, but another existence!

"Given by the gods, born with it."

Softly reciting the meaning of the text symbols, for the first time Donald felt that those demon memories that tortured him were still somewhat beneficial. This became his advantage. For some words that ordinary people could not understand at all, he could instantly know the words in them. mean.

"What did you say?" X2

The store manager looked at Donald in surprise. He seemed to hear strange words from the young man's mouth. At the same time, behind the two of them, there was a clear voice.

"The meaning of this sentence is: God gave it, I was born with it. Can I take over this job entrustment?"

Repeating this sentence again, Donald reached out his hand to take off the commission he had just glued on, but was subconsciously blocked by the store manager.

"Mr. Grant, this is a job entrustment and requires integrity. If you are just trying casually, I suggest that it is better not to tear this entrustment."

The man in front of him was too young, and he was someone who needed to find a low-level job like a waiter in a tavern. The store manager didn’t think Donald could interpret the text correctly, he just thought he was just saying that he wanted to go I tried, so I blocked it.

"He's right, that's what the sentence means... Exactly!"

Before Donald could explain, the voice behind the two affirmed Donald's translation, and his tone rose with a little surprise.

The commission that was just released, and the translator was found so smoothly. Is today his lucky day?
