399. After the snow

  The heavy snow started to clear up, and the temperature in the city of Halanza dropped sharply.

 Employees of the commercial bank moved baskets of sulfur ore back to the warehouse.

Manager Joey of the White Elephant Trading Company kept rubbing his frozen hands and tightened his cloak tighter. With such a heavy snowfall, the match workshop in Helensa City will be busy for a while. The sulfur mine

The prices may go up even more during this period. He looked at Suldak with a smile and handed a money bag to Surdak.

Charlie did not expect that a cart of sulfur ore would be exchanged for a heavy bag of gold coins. He wondered in his heart what he would have to buy to get his share if he distributed the money.

The two drove the carriage away from the White Elephant Trading House. Suldak threw the money bag into Charlie's arms. Charlie quickly caught the money bag. He thought about it for a long time without thinking about hiding it.

Where is it safe enough?

"Duck, can I put this bag of money with you?" Charlie was a little at a loss, and threw the money bag back and said, "I'm afraid of losing the money bag."

Suldak took the money bag and said: "Then I will keep it for you for a while. Before you leave the city of Hiranza, the money bag can be placed with me."

 The streets are filled with snow, and many civilians are clearing it.

 But there was only a not-so-wide path cleared on the street, which could barely accommodate a carriage.

If two carriages were traveling towards each other, one of them would have to stop temporarily to avoid them. After walking for a long time before returning to the hotel next to the square garden, Suldak patted his forehead and said to Charlie: "I don't think so.

You stay here for a few more days and return to Wall Village when the Tianshan Road becomes passable."

Charlie looked embarrassed and said reluctantly: "I didn't expect such a heavy snow, so this is the only way we can do it for the time being. Duck, I don't want to live here anymore. The carriage shop only costs thirty coppers a night.

It costs two silver coins in one night, it’s too expensive here!”

Suldak asked with a surprised look on his face: "You live in Datongpu, what should I do with your carriage?"

"I can take care of the horse and the wagon. I have nothing to do. I can definitely take care of the wagon!" Charlie said to Suldak.

Suldak frowned. Although he had never slept in a carriage house, it sounded like the environment would not be very good. Suldak hesitated and then said to Charlie: "Although this hotel is

It's a bit expensive, but the environment is pretty good and there's free breakfast. Just stay here for the time being. I've already paid for the hotel. By the way, if you feel a bit sorry, maybe I can find you a temporary place.

The work can offset part of your expenses.”

When Charlie heard that Suldak could help him find a temporary job, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Work? Okay. Although I don't know any crafts, I still have endless energy. It’s better to find a job in the city!”

 Hearing that he could work, Charlie's face became lighter.

Suldak looked at the time and guessed that Karl would be sitting in the tavern having a drink at this time, so he asked Charlie to park the carriage in the backyard of the hotel, and then took Charlie to the tavern where Karl often went. , the light in the tavern was a little dim, and the hall was filled with the bitter smell of ale. Sure enough, Karl was sitting in front of the bar, chatting wordlessly with the tavern proprietress.

Seeing Suldak, the tavern proprietress nodded to him, turned around and went to entertain other drinkers.

Even though it was freezing and snowy outside, the bar girls in the tavern were still wearing thin short skirts, holding up trays full of wine, and weaving back and forth among the crowd. Charlie's face turned red and he was so reserved that he didn't even dare to approach the bar girls. Take another look at yourself.

Karl turned around and saw Suldak walking over with a young man. He held up a wine glass and asked him with a smile: "Why are you here? I also want to send someone to deliver a letter to you, asking you to take the time to go to the guard camp."

Suldak sat down on the high stool in front of Karl, put his hand on Charlie's shoulder, and introduced to Karl: "This is Charlie, my friend, from Wall Village."

Suldak introduced Charlie again: "This is Baron Karl, my friend in the city of Helensa. I guess he can help us."

Karl just nodded slightly to Charlie, and then asked Suldak curiously: "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Suldak said: "I need you to help Charlie find a temporary job." He then told Charlie about the situation when he drove a carriage to Helensa City and was trapped in heavy snow. After Karl listened, He looked at Charlie and asked, "You have a wagon?"

 “Yes! Lord Baron Carl.” Charlie said cautiously.

There was a noble opposite. He usually had little chance to talk to nobles. When he spoke now, his voice was slightly trembling. Charlie didn't know how Suldak did it. He was so relaxed and casual when talking to Baron Karl. .

Karl waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "That's easy to do! Now the city snow removal team has summoned a large number of snow clearing personnel. It would be meaningless if a single person could not do it for that little salary. Each person only has one silver coin per day, but you There is a carriage that can pull snow, and the daily work is relatively easy, which is to transport snow outside the city. In addition to the salary of one silver coin, there is a daily subsidy of about three silver coins for the carriage and horse."

“Baron Karl, I am willing to do this temporary job!” Charlie did not expect to get four silver coins in one day, so he immediately agreed excitedly.

Karl put down his wine glass, knocked his head hard again, and said to Charlie as if he remembered something: "I'm afraid it won't be long. Once the snow in the city is cleared, you may be unemployed again."

Charlie was not too worried about this. He said happily: "It doesn't matter, the road to Wall Village will probably be opened by then!"

Carl saw that Charlie looked very smart, so he simply put down his wine glass, stood up and said: "Then let's go to Jasper without further ado. Now he has been transferred to the city logistics department. At the moment,

It seems that he is responsible for managing the snow clearing in the city."

Suldak didn’t expect that Karl’s rival Jasper would be in charge of this matter, but it seemed like Karl didn’t care at all.

"By the way, you said you wanted me to go back to the guard camp. What's the matter?" Suldak asked as he followed Karl.

Karl said as he walked: "The Ice Lake Incident is over, and the Guard Battalion can take a sip of soup this time. The city hall approved the expansion of the Guard Battalion's rescue squadron, and the establishment of two more rescue teams. I asked Mr. Sauron

The captain has recommended you. It is possible that Captain Sauron will let you serve as the security officer outside the Paglos Pass, and you will be at the level of a squad leader in the guard camp."

The three of them walked out of the tavern. Suldak asked Karl: "Do you know that I will return to Wall Village after receiving my graduation certificate from the Knight Academy?"

Karl walked out of the tavern, pulled his collar in the cold wind, then jumped onto a carriage on the roadside and said: "You have made it so obvious, no matter how slow I am, I should have guessed it."

Speaking of which, Carl and Jasper were both born and raised in Hellanza aristocratic families. Their family conditions are similar, and their abilities are similar. They joined the guard camp in the same year. In fact, in the guard camp,

There are not many opportunities for advancement.

Helensa City is not a battlefield, the death rate of the guard battalion is not high, and the senior officials are well protected. If you want to get promoted, you have to rely on the superiors who are pressing you for promotion or retreat. The squadron commander in the support squadron is old.

Finally having such a promotion opportunity, Carl and Jasper were of course unwilling to give up, so Captain Sauron gave them a test question. Whoever did well would be the squadron leader of the support squadron.

Carl succeeded in taking the position relying on the merits brought by Suldak, which also meant that Jasper had no chance in the support squadron. The big shots in the family came forward to move him out of the guard camp. Now he is the logistics of the city hall.

The employees of the department, with family resources leaning towards them, will probably be able to make a difference in a short time.

Karl came to the door with Suldak. Although Jasper was a little surprised, he was very enthusiastic. Although he and Karl were competitors at the beginning, times have changed. In Helensa, many friends are far better than many enemies.

Be moisturized.

"That's no problem. We have to clear the snow all night long. Your name is Charlie? You can start work at any time!" Jasper said with a smile while sitting behind his desk. Fastest update Mobile version::

He would not go to the scene to supervise the situation in person. He would call his assistants and ask him to arrange Charlie.

Karl thanked Jasper and left the city hall with Suldak.

A castle made of residual snow has already been piled up on the square in front of the city hall. There is still a steady stream of goods being transported here from the street. This heavy snow has seriously affected the traffic in Helensa City. The guard camp is only a few steps away from the city hall.

Only a few hundred meters away.

The two walked to the guard camp. A group of guard camp knights came towards them. When they saw Karl and Suldak, they all waved and said hello. Suldak could not recognize the names of these guard camp knights yet, but it seemed that they

He has quickly accepted Surdak, his extraordinary new colleague.

Walking into the yard of the guard camp, I saw Ms. Gwendolyn and several female colleagues holding on to the fence at the door, watching the servants clearing the snow in the yard, and instructing them to build a big snowman in the yard. Ladies

While giving random instructions and chattering and laughing, when she saw Karl and Suldak walking in from the outside, Gwendolyn immediately turned around and left.

“Hey, Miss Gwendolyn, wait a minute!” Suldak shouted in greeting first.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you! Don't look for me!" Miss Gwendolyn walked quickly to the basement weapons warehouse.

Suldak quickly stepped forward to stop him. Gwendolyn watched Suldak take out the dwarf chain shield from his backpack with a smile. The two scratches on it looked so shocking. She frowned and complained:

"I knew it would be troublesome every time I saw you. Why didn't I see that you were a big trouble?"

Even though Miss Gwendolyn said this, she readily agreed to help with the repair.

Suldak and Karl then came to Captain Saul's office. Captain Saul saw Karl and Suldak knocking on the door and walking in. He casually asked them to sit down and asked them to sit down.

The assistant brought two cups of lemon tea and asked Suldak with a smile: "Has Karl told you about the expansion?"

 “Yes, Captain!” Surdak replied.

Captain Saul nodded and said: "Okay, I won't repeat it. The rescue squadron wants to add two security officers in the mountainous area south of the red pine forest and the deserted land outside the Paglos Mountain pass.

It is equivalent to the squad leader of the rescue group. Because it belongs to a remote area of ​​Halanza City, people can be recruited locally. The guard battalion provides basic weapons and equipment, establishment and salary, and can recruit six team members."

Having said that, Captain Saul pushed a letter of appointment in front of Suldak. The name of the person to be filled in in the letter of appointment was still blank for the time being.

Captain Sauron continued: "Karl recommended to me that you go to the deserted land outside Paglos Mountain and serve as the peace officer there. If you are willing, I will sign the letter of appointment now and then go to the Minister of Personnel.

Ms. Lovela registers, the appointment can take effect immediately, and the appointment can be postponed until next spring."

Suldak immediately sat up straight and said to Captain Sauron: "I am willing to serve as the peace officer outside the mountain pass, Captain."
