Chapter 441 (1/2)
The noise in the tavern did not affect dills's thinking.
Born in a slum, he is very familiar with this environment. It can even be said that he has been used to it for a long time. For others, it is a very noisy environment, but for him, it is a natural intelligence collection point. Although there are many meaningless contents, there is no lack of some golden gossip, and the only thing he needs to do is to organize the information he needs from these chaotic words.
Of course, under normal circumstances, this practice is only applicable to those small villages and towns. After all, there are usually only one or two pubs in such places, and the intelligence is naturally relatively concentrated. Usually, if you want to find out the information you need in a city, you won't choose the stupid practice of going to pubs. After all, even if a city is small, at least there will be several pubs, and the information collection channels will be scattered. Unless a lot of human resources are invested, this practice is a pure waste of time.
It's just a waste of time for others, but not necessarily for dills. Without such a stunt or two, he could not have become the general head of the Intelligence Department of the Millennium covenant empire.
Sitting quietly by the bar counter, dills didn't attract much attention. He just ordered himself a relatively affordable dinner and a glass of ale.
At the moment, he looks a bit like a down-to-earth wanderer who comes from a distance and tries to find a good opportunity here in the void city.
He didn't eat fast, but he was a bit hasty. He looked no better than wolfing down. At least he was rude. He would drink a mouthful of ale only when he choked, and then hammer his chest to swallow the food hard. It took him less than two minutes to finish the meal. There was still half a glass of ale left. Dills licked his lips and touched his purse with his right hand. His eyes showed some loss and frustration.
However, his eyes soon returned to calm and looked like he was full of hope for life again. When the owner of the tavern came up to him and began to clean up the dishes, dills took a hard sip of the ale glass, which looked like drinking courage. Then he asked, ”boss, are you still hiring people here?”
”Hiring?” The tavern owner was stunned. He glanced at the young man with an expectant look in his eyes.
This is a young man full of vitality. Just now, when he was delivering food to him, the boss noticed that the young man threw the dusty old cloak at his feet. This little detail is not very eye-catching, but it is very important to talk with countless adventurers every day For the tavern owner with whom businessmen deal, it is a very clear message: This is a well-educated but very down-to-earth young man.
If such a young man is not really desperate and hungry to the extreme, he will not gobble up his dinner like just now. Of course, he will not have the courage to ask about work after drinking a mouthful of ale. In any case, this is a very shy young man who has just set foot in society. Maybe something happened at home made the young man have to try his luck in the void city.
Now, the leaders of the nearby territories are well aware that the void city led by panda is an emerging city. It has just been built and is still in a blank reclamation period. If we can seize this opportunity to gain a foothold here, we probably don't need to worry too much about our future life. Because of this, many people come to the void city every day. These people include vagrants, unhappy neighbors in other territories, and even some bankrupt businessmen or poor people.
Although the arrival of these people makes the void city no longer need to worry about the population, the saturated employment rate in a short time also began to breed some crime problems. Fortunately, with the return of consul Neil, the relevant public security of the void city is much better now. At least after sending more patrols and guards and directly executing some criminals, the void city also began to restore its former peace and tranquility.
The tavern owner is quite optimistic about the educated young man in front of him. After all, if the void city continues to prosper, it will certainly be of great benefit to him. However, it's a pity that he just recruited a man who looks more capable, which is already running at full capacity for his tavern, so although he sympathized with the young man, he shook his head and refused: ”young man, you're a little late.”
Sure enough, as soon as the tavern owner's words fell, dills cooperated and showed a look of disappointment and loss.
In fact, deers, as the chief of the Intelligence Department of the Millennium covenant Empire, noticed a torn notice outside the tavern when he entered the tavern.
Judging from the traces of the paper still left on the wall, dills easily judged that the paper must have been a notice paper for recruiting employees. Judging from the ash marks displayed after the paper was torn off and the adhesive marks behind the residual paper, the paper should have been torn off within two days after it was pasted. Moreover, there is no new covering trace on the paper, which shows that the tavern is full of staff, so dills can't be admitted here for questioning.
However, deers still showed disappointment about the long-known result, just for his next move: ”well... Can you provide me with some information? I... I really need a job now. ”
At the same time, dills took off his money bag, showed a determined grin, and poured out all the money in the money bag.
Three silver coins and twenty-one copper coins.
The tavern owner glanced, and his eyes showed some sympathy. At most, this money is enough for the young man to spend four or five days in the void city. After that, if he can't find a job, he may really become a beggar. But that's not what the tavern owner really sympathizes with. Now he can really be sure that the young man in front of him is an inexperienced rookie.
”Hey, looking for a job?” A burly looking man sitting next to him came carelessly, ”I can introduce you to a job.”
