Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 138

The next day, Noah replaced Odd's window with a fresh flower. Although he knew that Odd could not see it, he was very happy when he did it.

After Brian pushed open the window, he saw Noah putting a small blue flower on the window sill. He froze for a moment, looked at the flower, then at Noah, knowing that it was definitely not a gift from Noah. my own!

"Good morning, Godfather." Noah said with a smile.

"Good morning." Brian didn't know how to speak. The sun was shining on the delicate petals. He looked at it for a while and said, "Noah, when you and Aldrich were in the courtyard that day... I saw it."

"Huh?" Noah raised his head, ahed, a little embarrassed.

"Are you with Aldrich?"

"Yes." Noah said decisively, and then smiled: "Actually, we have always been together, and then many things happened. We failed in business, joined the Adventurer's Association, and met very good friends. And went to the Orc Empire...well, that's it anyway."

Brian said, "I didn't expect this...do you like him?"

Noah nodded: "He's fine."

He has nothing to say about Noah's emotional life. After all, Noah is an adult and has his own opinions.But for Aldrich, his mood is quite complicated.

"What's the matter, godfather?" Noah asked when he saw that Brian looked different.

"Noah, do you know who Aldrich is?"

Noah raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Bryan said: "His full name is Aldrich Klein, and Klein is the royal family name of the Brooke Empire." He looked at Noah's expression, and then said: "I don't know if Aldrich has a relationship with him. You said that his mother was once the princess of the Neilbrook Empire, and his father was the heir to the empire, if that war hadn't happened, he might have inherited the throne of the empire now."

Noah listened to him in silence, and Aldridge never told him about these things.

This may be his biggest secret, a past he wants to hide, a memory he will never bring up with anyone else.

"Although I have no position to say this, after the members of the royal family were exiled as slaves to the Shilan Empire, they lived a very miserable life. Odd's mother, the former princess, was humiliated and died, and his elder brother also died. Only he lived Later, the church bought him. I once saw that child, although he was still alive, it was as if he was dead. At that time, he just lived by instinct, and he didn't care about the beatings and insults of others."

"Perhaps all that the Church of Light is experiencing now is just a simple cause and effect relationship." Bryan said, "Aldrich... I didn't expect him to have such achievements now, maybe you saved him. "

"I just thought, if you're going to be with him, you should know these things."

Noah fiddled with the flowers, and responded softly.

……

And those missionaries worked hard all day, and finally managed to build a frame, and they leaned against each other under a wall and fell asleep in fear.

But they slept very peacefully. There were no snake bites or wild beasts invading. The sick and injured people even got better after sleeping, and even the older people felt full of strength after getting up.

George and the others were having breakfast. When the missionaries passed by, they unexpectedly and reasonably found that they didn't have their share.

Someone expressed dissatisfaction: "We worked so hard yesterday, didn't we even have food?"

"Food doesn't fall from the sky. Do you expect us to make food for 100 people?" George pointed to the kitchen over there, and said, "The ingredients are over there, make it yourself. By the way, now I can provide you with free food." food, but soon you will have to work in the fields and take care of the livestock to get the food.”

"This is too much!"

George blinked, wondering where the excess was.

The people of the Shilan Empire, after working hard every day, experiencing wind, rain, and various natural disasters and insect pests, they still have to hand over [-]% of the harvested crops to the nobles and the church. Even so, their land will be destroyed at any time. snatch away.

In the Ark, they not only provide complete farming tools, but also don’t have to worry about any disasters. The harvested crops are all their own, and they are registered and stored in the warehouse.The pigs, ducks, chickens, and fish here are all fat and delicious, and they don't get sick, which is better than those who sold their children to cows for treatment.If there is no harvest in any year, a family may be ruined.

George shook his head. He felt that this group of people had something wrong with their brains, so he continued to eat and ignored them.

It was the tall Jin who was the first to cook. He walked in the front, and soon someone followed him.

At this time, those who were unable to do heavy work yesterday were responsible for cooking, although most of them could only cook simple food.Jin and the others sat on the table next to them. After the food was served, it was all a sticky mess, which was completely different from George's food that was full of color, fragrance, and strong fragrance.

Some people can't help but look at them and drool.

George smiled inwardly, quite proudly.He used to be average in cooking, anyway, it doesn't matter if everything is cooked, and it was Aldrich who carefully improved their cooking skills.George never expected that there are so many ways to cook. Later, after Aldridge and the others left, George's level never improved again, but it was no problem to hang these missionaries.

Just then, Jin sat down.

George's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Kim ask, "Many of us can't wear our clothes anymore. Is there any way we can buy new clothes?"

George glanced at him, saw that he seemed to be asking this question seriously, and said, "You can exchange things with us."

"Can't you go out and buy clothes?" Kim asked.

George thought this person was quite interesting, and said with a smile, "Where can I buy it? The Shilan Empire or the Northern Alliance, or do you want to go to the Orc Empire to buy it?"

Jin was silent for a while. As missionaries of the Illuminati Church, they had never been so unpopular before.

"So, can we leave?" Kim asked directly.

George said: "It depends on the thoughts of His Excellency Noah."

"You have been living on this island?" Jin turned his head and asked, "Did Your Excellency Noah ask you to leave?"

"We could leave, but no one wants to go," George said slowly. "Any questions, Kim?"

"There is one more." Jin raised his own bowl and asked seriously: "Can you share some of your food with me?"

George froze for a moment, but subconsciously agreed.

Jin picked out a large piece of meat and potatoes, swallowed it in one gulp, and nodded contentedly.

"What..." George shook his head, and it took him a long time to react.

After a few more days, the missionaries gradually got used to this kind of life.The simple house was gradually erected, the inside was very simple, without any aesthetic optimization, it was just a square box with a door.I have to say that when they moved into the house they built, they felt a sense of accomplishment.

In addition to building houses, they began to participate in more work, and gradually had a division of labor.Older people with handicapped legs and feet are responsible for cooking, weak people clean the house and do some simple manual work, people with rich experience in wild life go hunting, and the rest work in the farmland, feed livestock, and pick wild animals. Fruit and so on.

Jin naturally became a manager and middleman, mainly responsible for communicating with George and the others.

One day, after the discussion between Noah and Brian, they went out for a walk and rested for a while, and saw Jin standing by the field. He did not participate in the work, but everyone obeyed him and provided him with food and accommodation.It was divided into a small team before, but now it has been integrated by Jin.

In fact, after everyone is on the island, everything is equal.Noah didn't care for anyone except his godfather.But in this small group of a hundred people, status differences soon appeared.

Noah sighed in his heart, Jin saw him, walked over and nodded to him.

Turning around, Noah asked George, "How are they doing?"

George said: "The work looks very positive, but I always feel that they have other plans. They have been living there, and they are far away from us when they eat. They are very wary of us."

He said worriedly: "Your Excellency Noah, you have to be careful. Don't trust this group of people too much."

As a result, something happened that night.

Noah was not in this area at the time, but by the sea.

He wrote a letter to Aldridge, and prepared to let the siren send it there.Before that, he confirmed that the Kraken can walk on land, but he just doesn't like it.

"Don't worry, there is a river on the other side of Epra Peak." Noah joked, "If I ask Odd to put some salt in the river, will you be more comfortable?"

"Put salt in the water and it's called soup." The sea monster said coldly.

It walks up from the sea, its handsome and bewitching face is especially cold under the moonlight, its long seaweed-like hair hangs down to its ankles, its waist is slender and its legs are long, its skin is white and blue. From the back, it is definitely a beautiful woman. beauty.

The Kraken took the envelope from Noah's hand. Although it was very indifferent to Noah on the surface, it was actually willing to do such things as sending letters.It is a sea monster, the body of a demigod, the guardian of the ark, the pet of the god of loops, the master of the ocean...

"Okay, okay." Noah saw the reluctance in its disgusted eyes: "I have ridden a dragon, and I am also a demigod, and I am better than you."

"Who said that." The sea monster snorted: "If you have the ability, let them come to fight in the sea."

"Okay, okay." Noah comforted it very perfunctorily: "You are the best."

After a while, the siren whispered, "This place looks more and more like the Eternal City."

"You mean after so many people came?" Noah asked.

The sea monster said: "Of course there are more people in the Eternal City. At that time, the island was very lively, and everyone was happy together, just like now."

But the sorcerer ruined it all. He turned those people into a kind of living stone statue, a strange monster that lost emotion and pain and only knew fighting.It also cut the island it guarded in two.

Then Noah fights back.

Noah touched its hair and dipped his hand in the sea water.

The sea monster frowned, but did not avoid it. He muttered, "But, you are different from the God of Loopback."

"I can still compare with the God of Loopback." Noah said with a smile: "Then I'm pretty good."

When he gets along with the sea monster now, he is rarely relaxed.Acheloids, the siren, is pure, simple, and loyal, although his mind may not be very good.

"What's different?" Noah asked.

"The God of Loopback takes great care of his people, and once used the power of time..." The sea monster opened his mouth, with a sad expression: "Forget it."

Noah narrowed his eyes.

"He used the power of time to help people grow crops faster, didn't he?"

The sea monster stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, and his delicate face seemed much more vivid: "How do you know?!"

"Some guesses." Noah said slowly: "Not only the people of the Eternal City, Cold Wind City, the Neilbrook Empire, all places that once believed in the God of Loop...she has intervened in this way The laws of nature."

【Is it right? 】What Noah said was half for the sea monster, and half for the God of Light.

The God of Light did not speak, but Noah knew he was there.

Julian also thought about speeding up the growth of crops, but it was obviously different from the method of the God of Loopback.

The siren lowered his eyes and said: "He wanted to help them, but then some bad things happened... I don't know the specifics, but his power was weakened very much, and because of this, he was defeated by a mere magician. "

That is not a mere magician, but the only legendary magician who has changed the Northern Alliance in a hundred years.Noah knew that the siren hated Job Garcia. He couldn't simply summarize this legendary magician as a good guy or a bad guy, but he was indeed worthy of the title.

"By the way, I suddenly thought of a good idea." Noah said: "Those stone statues, the people who used to live here, who are they listening to now?"

"They obey the mark left by the magician on the circuit." The sea monster asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Can I make them obey my orders?" Noah blinked.

The sea monster was stunned: "The one named Julian tried before, but he failed."

Its tone was somewhat gloating, the siren hated all magicians, including Julian of course.

"Actually, I didn't tell him that as long as you can cover the magician's mark with your spiritual power, those stone statues belong to you."

Just covering the spiritual imprint of a legendary magician is not as simple as the sea monster said.But that legendary magician had been dead for so many years after all.

"You won't even be able to beat a dead magician." The sea monster sneered, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he looked angrily at the center of the ark.

"How dare they?!"

"It's okay." Noah already knew what happened: "I'll take care of it."

The author has something to say:

Second more!
