Lord of Rot

Chapter 607: War in the morning, work done in the afternoon (page 12)

"You want to apply for a job in Dongxia?"

The businessman stretched out his hand and pinched the mustache on his face, narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

For some reason, Aviva thought of a fox poaching grouse in the snow when she saw the smiling face. She subconsciously glanced behind the businessman, trying to find his hidden tail.

The businessman met Aviva's gaze: "I'm from Porcupine Collar. Maybe I can give you some advice."

"Really?" The little girl's eyes were bright, but soon dimmed again: "But I don't have money to buy the little book."

"I just found a good girl with good moral character." The businessman shook his head with a smile. He always put a smile on his face, which was slightly fake but not annoying: "Beauty is always worth investing in, isn't it? "

Aviva tried to interject into the conversation between the two. She was the little girl's apparent parent. As a noble, even if she was an old man in her forties or fifties, she could still make the decision for the other party.

Raising her hands to hang her wind-swept hair behind her ears, Aviva asked: "Can you please give her some advice? She is still too young, and she has never left Heide."

"Young age is an advantage." The businessman pinched his chin and said seriously: "If you want a comfortable and stable job, you can apply for a castle maid. Their daily work is not too hard, and their income is not too high. Low, it is said that their salary has been increased to 13 bronze stars per day, they eat the same as the noble gentlemen, and they live in the castle."

Someone happened to come to pay for something. The businessman was distracted by counting the money and kept saying: "If you want to make more money, or want a better status, then you should study. There are free classes in the evening." Night school, if your academic performance is very good, you will be specially trained."

The little girl listened blankly, but it was difficult to tell which one was more suitable for her. Each one exceeded her expectations.

Aviva was also a little stunned when she heard this.

Are you sure this is a maid recruitment?

As for learning, there is no need for any special benefits. It is a great gift for ordinary people to learn writing.

The businessman looked at Aviva again: "You should be a noble. If you also want to find a job..."

She pursed her dry lips and asked, "If I also want to find a job, do you have any recommendations?"

Aviva didn't know why she felt a sense of expectation. If the descriptions she heard from the soldiers before were all true, then she would want to visit the city that never sleeps and the place where no one is hungry.

"I'm afraid there are some difficulties now." The businessman shook his head regretfully: "The nobles in the entire Lurea continent want to be loyal to Lord Li Qi, but Lord Li Qi is very picky about the objects of loyalty. However, with your knowledge as a noble, you can pass the exam and apply for the job. A position.”

"take an exam?"

She is a noble lady, but she is not as competitive as ordinary people.

It turns out that Lord Li Qi recruits people in this way, no longer through swearing allegiance, but through application.

"Thanks, I'll consider it."

Aviva went to the interview with full of doubts. She saw that the little girl finally applied for the job of a starching maid. Almost all the boys and girls who wanted to apply for a job could get a good job, and the best among them The natural choice is to work as a servant in the castle.

Being close to the water, many benefits can be obtained first. This is also the consensus reached by everyone.

Then there are caravans, laborers, etc. Those with certain skills have more opportunities, while those with nothing have no way to choose a job.

After signing the contract, the little girl, who was already carefree, got on the fast boat back to the East Gorge today. The boat would set off in the evening and it would take an unknown amount of time to arrive at that foreign territory. Maybe from now on, they would be in Spend your life there.

Turning around, Aviva looked at the ground with no snow under her feet, although there were snowflakes in the sky.

She will have to wait here for a while, waiting for the Duke of the North to send troops to seize Heide Port. If the army really arrives, she will definitely pick up the gun and return to the team to fight to the death with the Dongxia people again.

But based on her recent observations, she thought the chances of the Duke coming back were very slim.

……

In the spring of April, under the warm and soft sunshine in the morning, riding a horse through the stone paved path will relax your mood unconsciously.

"We are on this road again, and it was like a dream."

Red Rose rode a horse and kept pace with Li Qi. Last time she rode in a carriage in order to marry a man who was known throughout the country to like men.

A year later, she embarked on this road again, but the goal became that they wanted to seize the city, and she could already hold the reins of the horse by herself, no longer afraid.

“A spring that is still fresh in people’s memories.”

Li Qi was only in his twenties, but he had already begun to suffer from the sadness that only middle-aged and elderly people would experience.

When I look up, I seem to be able to see a certain story from a certain year on the budding branches, which evokes a certain memory.

When he turned to look at Red Rose, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted to her delicate upturned nose.

The sun shines on the long red hair, coating it with a layer of light gold, which is just right.

Sensing Li Qi's gaze, she turned her head: "What's wrong?"

"I was just wondering, after we capture the royal city, is there a place you want to visit?"

Before April really ended, the marching team finally arrived around the royal city.

The former battlefield can no longer see the ice peaks composed of corpses frozen in ice.

The wall of the royal city that was broken by the white dragon has also been repaired. The entire city looks no different from when Li Qi left it, except that it looks quieter now.

Today the city walls are still guarded by soldiers.

From the Golden Bear Soldier, it became the White Dragon Soldier, and now it has become the Golden Thorn Sword.

The golden sword flag of the Leopold family fluttered in the wind, echoing the golden sword flag that had been erected in the formation outside the city wall.

The Dongxia army led by Hong Qiangwei immediately formed their formation.

The battle does not require Li Qi's participation at all. This is a battle destined to be crushed.

However, Hong Qiangwei still put on a set of light plate armor inlaid with gems, which was more beautiful than practical. Her red hair was simply tied back in a bun, and her whole person exuded a capable atmosphere.

Li Qi smelled a hint of imitating Stacie from her body.

There is no communication or communication.

Before launching the attack, Li Qi and Red Rose gave the old nobles an opportunity to contact the outstanding heirs of their families as much as possible, so that they could leave Pine as soon as possible and forget about it as long as they came back.

But disappointingly, no one came back!

They were all determined to protect Pine until death.

Or perhaps, their brains have been replaced by fat and white brain worms. There is no way that the brain worms could seek refuge with Li Qi and seek death, but they can live longer by joining a group for warmth.

The battle begins.

Li Qi also saw the most "classic" siege battle in the world for the first time in a real sense.

Almost no extraordinary people enter.

Under the command of the nobles on our side, the siege tower was quickly built, and a dozen people pushed the heavy siege tower towards the royal city.
