"Huh, I'm really tired..." In the evening, Morse dragged his tired body and walked in the dark corridor.
He followed Beierle around the Duke's mansion all afternoon. It had to be said that this place was really big. Even after spending so long, he still didn't see all of the mansion.
"I remember, during the day, Beller said it was this room, right?" Morsis stopped in front of the courtyard with the magic circle and looked at a door at the corner of the corridor.
Beller left first because he still needed to discuss some matters with Duke Teller, so Morse could only go back to his room by himself.
"Speaking of which, these guys really don't worry about me. Aren't they afraid that I might cause trouble if I'm alone?" Morse took out a key from his pocket and said to himself as he opened the door.
The door opened, and Morse walked in quickly and inspected his new residence.
This room was the same size as the one he had in the orphanage before, but the decoration was much more luxurious. There were not many things in the room. There was a table under the window facing the door, and on both sides of the room, there were
A bed and a large bookcase are not at the same level of luxury as the previous living room.
"Huh, it turns out that the Singhs only show off like that when facing guests..." Morsis smiled and said to himself, "That's fine, if I want to live in a place like that living room...
Um, it feels weird when I think about it."
Morses shrugged and casually placed the "Soul" on his back on the table.
"Well, it seems that no one has lived there for a long time, and it has accumulated a lot of dust." Morse raised his hand, looked at the dust raised, and frowned.
"Let's tidy it up." He smiled, opened the window, and stepped out of the house.
There was a bathroom in the corridor, and Morsis was going to find some things to tidy up the place.
"Ah, Mr. Kelvis, I've been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out you've arrived." Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Butler Modi and two servants walking slowly from across the corridor.
"Mr. Modi." Morsis nodded and greeted the other party.
"Your room hasn't been cleaned for a long time. I'll bring two people to help you clean it." Modi turned to look at the two servants and signaled them with his eyes. The two immediately understood and walked in quickly.
into the room of Morses.
"Sorry to trouble you." When Morses saw this, he was overjoyed and said gratefully.
"It doesn't matter, you deserve this... By the way, while they are cleaning, let's talk about remuneration." Modi showed a professional smile, pointed to the way he came, and said, "Let's go
, let’s go to the living room.”
"Remuneration?" Morsis frowned slightly and followed the other party's footsteps.
To be honest, he himself doesn't care about the remuneration. After all, he is very happy just to be able to live here.
Of course, for future actions, he still needs to earn enough money to live alone.
Not long after, the two sat down in the living room. Modi cleared his throat and spoke first, "Actually, I'm not very good at calculating your salary... Mr. Beierle, who was previously in charge, served voluntarily and did not ask for it.
Salary. The salary of the previous one was ridiculously high, after all, he was the one who set up the magic circle."
Modi frowned and continued, "After much thought, I decided to give you ten gold coins a day... This is one-third of the previous scholar's salary. What do you think?"
After listening to Modi's words, Morsis was stunned for half a minute. He didn't react until the other party asked again.
Ten gold coins?
one day?
That’s six hundred gold coins in two months?
Morsis felt a little out of breath. Those were gold coins. According to the average income in Hull City, the annual salary of ordinary citizens was only more than a hundred gold coins.
"Do you think it's missing, Mr. Kelvis?" Modi looked at Morse and said with a frown.
"No, no, no, Mr. Modi, that's enough, I was just shocked." Only then did Morsis fully react and replied with a smile.
"Logically speaking, as a first-level transcendent, you shouldn't be given so much... But I think Mr. Beierle seems to be very optimistic about you, so I have doubled your promotion for you. I hope you can do a good job." Modi heard this.
, smiled with some understanding, "Don't be too surprised. After all, I heard that scholars are one of the most profitable professions."
"Really?" Morriss thought of Krabi inexplicably, and immediately felt that the other party was talking nonsense... But then, he changed his mind and felt that Krabi rarely used transcendental abilities, so it could not be counted as an example.
"Yes, the scholar's circle is a very profitable thing...Many big figures who understand the transcendent world like to hire a scholar." Modi looked at Morse and said, "Moreover, scholars are extremely rare, which also leads to
Their value has skyrocketed."
"Ha, I don't even know." The corners of Morse's mouth twitched and he replied.
"Haha, it seems that you are not too involved in the world... Well, are you interested in joining the Singer Empire in the future? We have many spell casters there." Modi chuckled and naturally made the point.
Yes, that's the point.
In the afternoon, Beierle mentioned to him that if there was a chance, he could win over Morses.
The truth teacher thought this was a good idea.
"I will consider it. I have no plans for this now, Mr. Modi." Morsis was not stupid. He naturally heard what the other party meant, so he responded vaguely.
However, he didn't think it over and it was indeed true. Because of his identity, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the Tasok Empire in the future. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have more protection elsewhere.
"Modi, there must be a reason for giving me such a high reward, right?" Morsis said secretly in his heart.
"Hahaha, well, this is indeed something that needs to be considered." Modi did not force it, and responded with a faint smile, and then immediately changed the topic and said, "You don't have to be too reserved when you usually live here.
If you want to go out, just tell me... Also, I have given orders to the servants on this floor and they will help you."
When Moses heard this, he didn't expect that the other party would actually take care of him in this way. He said with some embarrassment, "Well, there is no need for servants. I am more accustomed to taking care of myself."
"Well, it depends on you." Modi nodded, then his expression suddenly became a little strange, his voice lowered, and he said mysteriously, "One more thing, Mr. Beierle asked
I told you specifically to ask you to pay attention."
"What should you pay attention to?" Morsis asked doubtfully.
"You should still remember Miss Adili, right?" Modi asked.
"Remember, it's the one from the afternoon, right?" Morsis frowned, not wanting to understand what the other party was going to say.
"Oh, according to Miss's character, she will definitely come to you. Have you heard Mr. Beierle's evaluation, right?" Modi said with a wry smile, "Mr. Beierle said before that he wanted to return to China, and the young lady who just became a scholar
They clamored for her to be responsible for maintaining the magic circle, but Mr. Beller has always disagreed..."
The corners of Morse's mouth twitched again. At this moment, he also recalled the girl he met in the afternoon and had a certain understanding of her character.
"Then, what should I do?" Morsis asked.
"I don't know about this either. After all, Miss, her way of thinking is very strange, and I can't figure it out..." At this point, Modi looked around cautiously, and then continued after confirming that no one was around, "Just act on the spot.
Well, I am telling you so that you can be mentally prepared and not be shocked."
"Well, this noble lady is really unique." Morsis thought for a long time before he came up with a more suitable adjective.
"Alas, Miss, she has grown up here since she was a child. She has never experienced any special etiquette instruction courses from the Singer Empire. The teachers hired in the mansion often cannot control her. The Duke himself is too busy, which is why she has become like this.
Personality...Oh, I said more." Modi sighed and shook his head.
Moses opened his mouth, but didn't say anything because he really couldn't think of anything to say.
After a long time, Modi stood up, with that professional smile on his face again, and said, "I think the two servants have already packed up. You can go back and rest first. We will start working tomorrow morning."
.”
"Well, I understand, Mr. Modi." Morsis nodded and stood up.
Modi also nodded, turned around and walked out of the door and walked into the courtyard. After standing there for a while, Morse also walked towards his room.
When he went back, he found that there were some changes here.
First of all, the floor and tabletop are obviously much cleaner, and the bedding has been replaced. There is an extra wall clock on the wall, and some toiletries and a lantern are placed in the corner.
"That's very thoughtful..." Morriss smiled, packed up all the things on the floor, and closed the window.
At this moment, darkness had enveloped the entire city of Salius. Morses turned on the electric light in the house and watched the thing with interest for a few minutes.
"Oh, to these big shots, I am really just a young man who has never seen the world..." Morsis laughed at himself, lay on his back on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and said to himself, "
If it weren't for my extraordinary mental strength, then Modi probably wouldn't have treated me like this.
"Those twelve stone pillars are the reason why my mental power is extraordinary. If you want to become stronger, mastering them is also a way!"
Thinking of this, Morsis sighed and said, "But I can't take the initiative to enter the spiritual world, let alone master the stone pillar... Don't aim too high, Morsis, your short-term goal is to be promoted to the second level!"
Morse warned himself a few words in his heart, and then he felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him.
He had been walking almost all day today and was already exhausted.
After a while, Morses closed his eyes and fell asleep in his new residence.
