Chapter 558 (1/2)
……
”Are you a battle Master?” Seeing the tall and thin man in his neat Taoist robe and his eyes constantly and flexibly looking around, it seems that he can't be calm for a moment. It seems that the young man in his twenties is a little unconvinced.
Although there were more than one battle Master in kapok city, he only saw one of them. He was a slovenly old man with white hair, wrinkled face and disorderly clothes. He also decided that the array master should look like this. There is a big gap between the image of Gou Zhu and the master in his mind.
”I think so.” Gou Zhu hesitated for a moment. Although he learned the basic knowledge of array arrangement with Huang Lu, and he had a lot of array maps in his mind. He had four Dragon wood pillars and dozens of traction stones on his body, but he didn't know whether he was a real array master.
”Whether you can sign the contract is up to master Ji, who is in charge of the sky tower in this city. But you have to pay one or two blood spirit stones as sincerity gold.
”If master Ji is willing to recruit you as an assistant and successfully sign the contract, the two blood spirit stones will be returned to you.
”If master Ji doesn't accept you, or if you refuse to sign the contract, the stone will not be returned. As for the contents of the contract, they are all in the jade slips. You can read the contract before you decide. ”
In other words, if master Ji colludes with them and all the visitors refuse, they can cheat the blood spirit stone However, once this matter is publicized, it is naturally impossible to recruit any more array masters.
They can pay a high price of 1000 liang of blood spirit stone, and it is also the time when the tide of animals is coming. This can only show that the defensive array still has great problems and needs to be repaired urgently, otherwise it may threaten the survival of the city. In this case, they will not go too far.
Gou Zhu put his divine sense into the jade slips of the contract and read it carefully. As expected, the terms in it were very generous.
Although he is an assistant to Ji Yan, who is in charge of the sky stabbing tower, he doesn't need to be stationed every day. He just needs to wait for Ji Yan's dispatch for four hours every day. Other times he doesn't have to show up at all.
If he needs to be recruited to work overtime, he can refuse. If he didn't refuse, the city would pay him a high price of ten Liang blood spirit stones for every extra hour he worked.
He can terminate the contract at any time, but the price is to return part of the 1000 Liang blood spirit stone, calculated on a daily basis.
If Ji Yan is dissatisfied with his work, he can terminate the contract, but he will not lose. He didn't have to return the 1000 Liang blood spirit stone originally given to him. If he keeps working until the end of the animal tide, and the contract is automatically terminated, he can get another thousand taels of blood spirit stone as a reward.
With such favorable conditions, he thought that he would just mix up in the field of array master. It was much easier to make money by refining Chunyang pill by manpower in Cuiyu palace every day.
The income of the array division is quite large, but it has something to do with the current situation. When the tide of animals is coming, the safety of a city is so important that thousands of liang of blood spirit stones are not worth mentioning. The animal tide brought them hundreds of thousands of taels of income. What's a reward of two thousand taels?
Gou Zhu carefully went through the pros and cons, and felt that there was no problem, so he paid one or two blood spirit stones.
The steward took out a jade talisman and gave it to him, which was used to enter the city for customs clearance. The thorn tower is outside the city. Although there are tunnels connecting with each other, the animal tide has not yet come. They usually pass directly through the bamboo bridge on the moat canyon.
Zhuqiao is closely investigated, but you can freely travel with jade talisman without any interrogation. The manager took him to the bamboo bridge. Under the bridge is an extremely high gorge. In the canyon, there is water in the abyss. Looking down from a high place, it is like a small green glass belt, reflecting the sunshine on the zenith.
On the outer side of the canyon is a wall made of square stones. The wall is beige, but strange black marks run down from the top of the wall, just like many curtains hanging on the smooth wall. It's the mark of some liquid flowing down from the top and being burned by a fire when resisting the tide of animals.
Gou Zhu's brain can not help but flash a picture: the tide of animals filled the canyon below, crazy beasts climbing up the smooth cliff wall. The defenders, on the other hand, burned the oil and poured it down from the top of the wall.
The impact of the fire just ignited a group of red haired baboons crawling all over the city wall mountain. All of a sudden, the baboons screamed and turned into fireballs, which fell into the canyon like rain.
Oil floats on the water and turns the moat into a river of fire. And the wild animals in the wild struggle in the water and fire. But the tide of red haired baboons came from far away, and they seemed to swallow it all up.
