Clence, who was wary of food, still couldn't resist the feeling of hunger in his stomach. He put the hat in his hand on the side of the dining table, where he could easily touch it. He ate it rudely without caring about his image. When he got up, seeing Krensi devouring the food with great satisfaction, Hayden's eyes flashed with admiration. He felt that this black-haired boy was a very good gentleman and he liked his cooking skills.
This was a bit unfair to Karens. He had been really hungry for several days, so he didn't pay much attention to the overly salty soup. He really didn't like eating each other's food. After all, his cooking skills were better. The other party was much better. In the face of hunger, he had no qualifications to choose whether this taste was what he liked. For him, it was good if he could eat it. Clence quickly cleaned the food on the table, and immediately I felt a feeling of satisfaction coming from my stomach.
After the two of them had completely finished the food on their plates, Hayden put away his smile and said to Krens with a distressed look on his face: "In order to save you from death, you know I spent How many precious medicines are there? I seemed to see many gold coins disappearing from my palms."
At this, the innocent-looking Kerens was stunned. From the other party's words, he seemed to hear that the middle-aged man was asking for remuneration or so-called medical expenses.
Although I didn't know what the potion the middle-aged man was using was, but I thought that I was a poor man and couldn't get even half a gram of su, and the only half I had was used by myself. The only thing worth the money was the good luck hat. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. Of course I was very curious about why this middle-aged man would save me, but now was obviously not a good time. It seemed that the other party didn't intend to be like Old John. Lens stood up and said apologetically to Hayden: "Sir, as you can see, I cannot pay you any Kesu, so I ask for your understanding."
Hayden suddenly had a disappointed expression on his face, as if a big business had just lost money. Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, Kerens couldn't help but find it funny. After a moment of silence, Hayden, who was still feeling distressed, As if he had made a decision, he said to Kerens calmly: "You can choose to work for me to repay the expenses."
"Work? What kind of job is it?" Kerens looked at this strange middle-aged man full of doubts and asked.
"It's very simple. This is a pocket watch shop. You only need to clean the dust of the shop every day, take care of the shop when I am out, learn cooking skills, and if you are lucky, you can also learn to repair pocket watches..."
Listening to a lot of things that he needs to take responsibility for from the middle-aged man's mouth, Clence, who thought he was a salty fish, felt dizzy for a while. At this time, he had the idea of running away from this pocket watch shop immediately. If it happened again, Krens might refuse the other party's treatment, and then lie on the wet ground and turn into a real salted fish.
After Hayden finished saying so many things that required Kerens to be responsible for, he was a little thirsty and took a few sips of water. He left the table without intending to wait for Kerens' answer, and then He nodded and handed over the things on the dining table to Krens to clean up, and then walked to the pocket watch shop separated by a wooden door, leaving only Krens who was stunned for a while.
"I wonder, are you planning to find a servant or a machine that won't rest? Besides, I haven't agreed yet." After carefully listening to what Hayden said about the things that he needs to take responsibility for, Clence's heart sounded like this. idea.
Although he was a little unhappy, he gave himself a good choice for someone who had to look for food every day. Although he still didn't know what the other party's purpose was, Krens sighed deeply and looked at the table. The tableware that was covered with food residue was put on his head without any delay, and he skillfully put the plate into the kitchen and cleaned it.
After doing all this, Krens opened the small wooden door in the middle. He was full of curiosity and wanted to know if the place behind the door was what he had seen in that dream, as well as the familiar sound of the pointer. .
Click!
There was a crisp sound of the door opening, and the scene across the wall came into Kerens' mind. The furnishings in the store overlapped with what he saw in his dream, and then in the dream, the table with bread, With the little girl in the easy chair, he seemed to be back in a dream again, but this feeling was quickly thrown out of his mind by Krens, because the person lying on the easy chair was not the cheap and round girl. The little girl in question was the middle-aged man with blue hair, which made him feel more at ease, thinking that the other person's help might just be a coincidence.
Noticing Clence who walked in with a good luck hat on his head, Hayden concealed the surprise in his eyes very well. Lying on the easy chair, he said to Clence in a strange way, "You Why are you wearing a hat? You look like a down-and-out noble now!" .
After hearing the other party's question, Krens could only complain secretly, "This is for the safety of everyone around me. If you leave too far away, this hat may treat you as a snack."
In a hurry, Krens couldn't think of any perfect reason, so he could only make up a half-truth and half-false reason: "I'm sorry, sir, because this hat is my only wealth, and it will bring me good luck." , is my luck." At the same time, he added in his heart, "It brings not only good luck but also bad luck."
Hayden, who did not continue to ask further questions, stood up from the easy chair, walked towards Krens with a cup of coffee, and then said with a smile: "It seems that you need to work for me for many years to make up for the potion I used on you. You know they're very expensive and it reminds me of the bonds some women have."
"A contract of sale, what kind of adjective is this? This means that I will work for you for free for the rest of my life." Hayden's words made Clans murmur in his heart. Although he already knew that the other party should have no ill intentions, he really didn't want to work for you for the rest of his life. Stay in one place.
Seeing that Kerens didn't react, he smiled and explained: "Of course this is just a metaphor. The price of the medicine is about 5 Sochis."
Hearing this, Kerens secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was a price, it was not a problem. He nodded slightly to indicate his agreement. Fortunately, it was not a real contract of sale, but the price of five sochis was still very expensive. You must know that 5 Sochi can be used by a family for almost a year without working. This made the poor Kerens curious about how much salary he could get per week, so he asked: "Sir, what is the salary I can get per week?" Woolen cloth?".
After thinking for a moment, Hayden asked tentatively: "Do you understand the writing of the St. John Empire?".
This made Kerens shake his head dumbly. It turned out that Kerens couldn't write, and he didn't know the words of this world. There was nothing we could do about it. We couldn't expect someone to die for daily food since he was a child. Struggling online, where will there be time to learn words and knowledge.
Kerens' answer did not surprise Hayden. After all, it was difficult for the other party to obtain daily food, let alone words and knowledge. He stretched out his palm and patted Kerens, who was not even close to his shoulder, comfortingly. Said: "It seems that you can only get 2.5 grams of sous before you learn to write, and there is another thing you need to do every day, which is to learn to write."
Kerens felt that his head hurt a little at this moment. After all, this was equivalent to learning a new language from scratch. The difficulty can be imagined, but if you want to survive in this world, then you must learn the basic knowledge and words. Yes, Kerens nodded and replied: "Yes, sir."
Hayden, who was quite satisfied with Krens's attitude, smiled and said: "Hayden Mund, the owner of this shop is also your employer."
Clance imitated the scene he saw in his mind, took off his top hat and put it on his chest, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Hayden, my name is Clence."
Hayden nodded, indicating that he had remembered the name, and then pointed to some dusty books in the corner next to him: "These are the words and books you need to learn. They are all very suitable for you. I need "Go out, I'll leave this to you first." Hayden was not worried about handing over the pocket watch shop to the newly arrived Krens. After all, it was very easy for a mysterious elementalist to find him.
Seeing Hayden's figure gradually walking away, Krens, who was unfamiliar with everything in the house, was at a loss and seemed a little at a loss. After all, he had never come into contact with such a simple pocket watch, and he did not dare to pick it up and appreciate it easily. , for fear that he would be in debt again, so he could only follow Mr. Hayden's advice and read the books that were gathering dust in the corner.
Opening the first book in the pile of books and looking at the text composed of countless obscure characters, Kerens had a bitter look on his face. This reminded him of the time when he went to school to learn foreign languages, but at this time the books I don't know how many times more difficult it is to write in a foreign language than in my own world.
There was no regular text at all, and it was impossible to understand the above words. Krens, who was a little crazy about these words, began to whisper about the inventor of text: "This thing must be text." , Why do I feel that this is a ghost-drawing talisman, no wonder no one except the nobles is willing to learn writing, it is simply a kind of torture."
