Chapter 7 Work

Around the street are rows of shops, Donald, who is walking to the right, is carrying a cloth bag containing books in one hand and weighs the remaining coins in his pocket.

“It’s so expensive…”

It took Donald a shilling 1 shilling to buy the book "Exorcist Evil", which was a bit outrageous. When he first learned the price, he even had a hint of suspicion that the store manager was cheating.

However, after seeing the exact price tag behind the book, we have to admit that things are rare and expensive.

The remaining money is about 15 shillings, including what Infinita gave this month and what she had saved from her previous savings.

For ordinary people, just one saving can support two months of life. However, in Donald's eyes, this money is absolutely not enough, and he has to do too much.

Because he had other things to do, he didn't stay in the bookstore for long, and only half of the black tea brought by Cannon Antoine.

During this limited time, he discovered the reason why the book is so expensive.

The book "Exorcist Evil" does mention the solution to the possession or entanglement of demons. This method is not as mysterious as imagined. It can even be said to be possible at any time, as long as you have money...

Church baptism!

The book mentions that any orthodox church will provide baptism to believers and use the power of the gods to drive away evil beings.

This kind of ritual requires believers to pay a certain price. According to the different baptism and purification rituals, there are different prices and requirements. The book mentions that the Silver Moon Church, which has a parish in North Hack County, has the cheapest baptism ritual for 5 gold pounds... The most expensive one can even reach nearly 100 gold pounds.

The effect is very good. It is said that as long as you are baptized, it is not only effective in expelling evil, but even the lowest level baptism, such as ordinary colds and fevers and other minor aches, will improve in a short period of time. As for the highest level baptism, Donald did not dare to read down.

For Donald, who is currently an unemployed vagrant, the lowest baptism ceremony is a luxury. He has to maintain a state of no food or drink while accepting Infinita's four-month assistance.

And it may not be useful!

Making money suddenly became the most important thing, not only to solve physical problems, but also as a man with sound limbs, Donald was in a grudge in accepting his wife's help, especially when her behavior was unknown.

So Donald came to the commercial street and paid attention to the recruitment signs outside the shops. He needed a job to maintain a normal life while supporting his private activities.

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

Suitable for civilians, without professional skills requirements, and high salary, does this kind of job really exist?

The content of his predecessor in college was extremely professional, which means that after Donald graduated, the good jobs he could find were limited, and the professional counterparts included some junior jobs in the church, which were definitely not possible due to the lack of memory.

The high-paid jobs that civilians can get, such as lawyers, government staff, etc., require long-term professional knowledge learning, and Donald, who has no foundation, does not have so much spare time.

As for the final high-risk and high-reward work... all are recorded in the code. Not to mention that Donald has no way, even if he has it, he would not dare.

A tavern may be a good place to go.

Compared with other jobs, the professionalism of this job is not high. People from all walks of life can be accessed and can collect a lot of information. Moreover, there should be a saying of tips in this era, which is an additional income compared to nearby garment stores or grocery stores.

With a try-making mentality, Donald came to the Oak Tavern two blocks from Iris Street, located on Lethis Street. Unlike Gesang Street, this is a highly entertaining neighborhood with several taverns and a large number of nightingale shops.

Happy night, Beauty Hotel...the name of the store is undisguised, although it is now morning, there are still several stores with half open doors.

The oak tavern is the largest shop on this street. A wooden board is hung on an iron rack above the door, and a brown oak fruit is carved.

Standing outside, you can see a few guests sitting in the tavern. The waiter who rolled up his sleeves was cleaning the brick and stone floor, sprinkling some water from time to time to press down the dust. Behind the bar was a tall and thin man, with a white face and wiping his wine glass attentively.

I lowered my head and tidyed up my clothes, and took photos on the window next to me to confirm that I had a good image and looked so handsome. Isn’t it more than enough to be a tavern waiter?

"Mr. Grant, I'm sorry, we don't shortage of people now. In fact, if you come here three days in advance, I will sign you without hesitation. You know, there are many Nightingale shops nearby. The ladies inside are not resistant to young people like you, but I can't fire the new waiter. We signed a contract for half a year. Whoever breached the contract will have to pay a liquidated damages of 1 gold pound. This is not a small amount."

Donald had to accept the reply given by the store manager. His image might be good, but it would not cost the store manager an additional liquidated damages of 1 gold pound. The new waiter has only been working for three days and has not done anything.

Give someone 1 gold pound for no reason? The store manager said that it would be heartbreaking for several nights.

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

It doesn't work here, you can only try your luck in other places.

"Hey, Mr. Grant, don't you know? Our Oak Tavern is an agency. Can you see the square wooden signs over there? The paper posted on it is full of messages from some people, recruiting workers, and commissioning... There are many good jobs, such as Mr. Laudiff from Plum Lane, who found a job as a clerk here, with a monthly salary of 2 pounds!"

The manager of the tavern spared no effort to recommend his own notice board. That was the idea his wife came up with. As long as he paid 5p, he could post his request on the notice board. There was a lot of people in the tavern, and the effect of doing so was obviously much better than publishing it on the street outside.

Donald's footsteps turned back. Now there is no goal, so it doesn't take much time to see it.

The area of ​​the notice board is about one square meter, close to the wall, height is on the chest of an ordinary person, and a strip of cloth with black fonts is pasted above: If you don’t intend, please do not touch it!

The house is leaking and needs help from a worker with experience in repairing the roof. The salary is: 6p.

The cat searching for revelation, the cat at home was lost. The last time I saw it was on Gesang Street. The fur was pure white and there was a tuft of light golden hair on its forehead. The salary was 5 shillings.

Barn transport, barns in the farm need help to carry grain bags, physical work, adult men, salary: 1 shilling.

......

His eyes wandered on these posting notices. He didn't know how to repair a house. He was always fine to carry a barn. There were other physical work that could also make some money and not pay high. Physical life in this era is considered to be something that only the lower class would do. Even if gentlemen starved to death, they would not take off their vests and roll up their sleeves to move the valley bag.

Donald did not care about this. After all, he received different education and labor was the most glorious, not to mention that now he is not the time to care about other people's opinions.

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

The store manager held the glue and paper in his hand, which was a new commission, Donald took a step, watched him post and read the content above.

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

With a blink of an eye, Donald repeatedly confirmed that the two words before the reward of 1 pound are weekly wages rather than monthly wages.

"This is a good job, isn't it? Just look at this."

Noting Donald's surprise, the store manager took the notice and then took out a piece of paper the size of a palm, which was supplemented with the content of the assistant recruitment: There are prerequisites for the assistant recruitment to recruit interested parties, and translate the following text...

"This is an ancient word. The client said that only those who have researched in this regard can understand the meaning of these sentences, and that is the assistant he is looking for."

The point where the store manager's finger landed was a black text or symbol, and Donald's eyes were focused.

He knew that the meaning of this passage was not the memory of the predecessor, but another existence!

“God gives, born with.”

When he whispered the meaning of the text symbols, Donald felt that the devil memories that tortured him were still beneficial for the first time. This became his advantage. For some texts that ordinary people could not understand at all, he could instantly know the meaning of them.

"What did you say?" X2

The store manager looked at Donald in surprise. He seemed to hear the strange words in the young man. At the same time, behind the two of them, there was a crisp sound.

"The meaning of this sentence is: God gives, born with. Can I take on this job commission?"

Repeating this sentence again, Donald reached out to take off the newly stuck commission, but was subconsciously blocked by the store manager.

"Mr. Grant, this is a work commission and requires integrity. If you just try it casually, I suggest it is better not to pull it off."

The man in front of him was too young, and he was a low-level job like a waiter in the tavern. The store manager did not think that Donald could interpret this text correctly, but just thought he was just talking casually and wanted to try it, so he stopped him.

"He was right, this sentence means...completely correct!"

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