A magic academy specially established for himself? And a bunch of important official positions? I'm afraid it's not a big deal, right?
Galt murmured in his heart. He stared at the Kislev lord in front of him with suspicion. But the latter didn't seem to be joking and looked serious.
Galt still felt that it was unreliable, so he continued to ask tentatively——
"Dear Lord, thank you for your sincerity and respect, but my ideal is in Altdorf Gold Academy. At least there, I can get a generous salary, as well as various equipment and objects needed for research..."
"Sir, how much is your monthly salary at Golden Academy?"
Rhodes asked directly.
Galt shook his head, deliberately pretending to be embarrassed, and finally frowned and said slowly——
"Two hundred gold crowns per month."
"I'll pay double!"
Without waiting for Galt to hesitate, Rhodes read directly.
This made Geert frown even deeper. In fact, he had overstated his salary level just now. His monthly salary at Altdorf Gold Academy was actually only one hundred and fifty gold crowns. Since Kislev's
When a lord wanted to recruit people, he would pay more. But now, the big lord doubled his salary without bargaining at all.
However, the hardware strength of Kislev and the Empire were incomparable after all. Galt was still hesitant. However, during this moment of hesitation, Lord Lord Rhodes spoke again——
"three times!"
Now, Galt was in trouble... Six hundred gold crowns per month? This is comparable to the monthly income of a great nobleman who owns a manor and private territory. How can I be so virtuous? How can I be so valued by this Kislev guy?
Because how many water pipes were repaired?
Galt looked confused. However, Rhodes struck while the iron was hot and asked Alves on the side to bring the contract documents and made modifications on the spot.
The quill rustled, and after a moment, the revised document and contract was handed over to Galt.
"This is a contract between us. I hire you to be my personal consultant, vice president of the Royal Engineers Society of Kislev, chief consultant of the Orengrad Urban Development Department, and principal of the Heart of Steel Magic School in Kislev.
.Monthly salary of six hundred gold crowns for three years.”
Galt looked at the contract template with a look of confusion on his face. He was still confused by what he had experienced today. First, he encountered bad luck and was interrogated by gangsters, and was almost recognized. Then he encountered the interception of the official army, and the great lord
The contract was signed. And then the remuneration and position were still so amazing.
Galt scratched his head and picked up the quill with some hesitation.
Rhodes was filled with joy. The three-year contract period was the content of the template. However, in the most inconspicuous place at the end of the contract, there was a line of small words - If no special circumstances occur, this contract will be automatically renewed and will continue to be effective.
.Those who terminate the contract unilaterally must bear corresponding compensation.
As for the Holy Steel Heart Magic School, it was a temporary name given by Rhodes. The Empire has a Gold Academy, which symbolizes nobility and wealth. Steel is not as valuable as gold, but it is more practical than gold, symbolizing the pragmatism spirit of Kislev.
In addition, it also symbolizes the steely and unyielding will of Lady Kislev.
Galt didn't pay attention to the name of the magic academy at all, nor did he pay attention to the series of official positions and titles. He just stared at the salary column, hesitated for a moment, and then signed his name on the contract.
And Rhodes winked at Alves. The latter immediately understood, walked to the safe, took out a bag of gold coins, and handed it to Galt. The number was a full three hundred gold coins from the Old World.
Universal gold crown currency.
Seeing the gold coins, Galt's expression improved, and his frown relaxed a little.
Two days later, in Erengrad, in the municipal official's residence, Alves was sitting on the sofa with a glass of red wine and a comfortable look on his face, watching Geert lower his head to read official documents. Those were all the existing things of Kislev.
For local officials in Kislev, they can already know the legal and administrative program by heart. But for outsiders like Gelt, it still takes some time to get familiar with it. After all, Kislev is now different from what it was for more than ten years.
The Kislev of the past is completely different. The laws have been changed a lot, and the administrative program is new. There is not even a trace of this kind of thing in the empire.
Galt didn't want to see this, but Rhodes had no choice but to give him a lot of official positions, and it was impossible to understand them.
"Stop reading now. Come, take a rest and relax. These things cannot be memorized overnight. I believe your ability lies more in magic than in these annoying political policies."
Alves said, making a toast gesture.
Galt had no choice but to spare his head, get up from the office chair, and sit in front of the sofa.
"It's actually a bit beyond my expectation. This administrative program is too simple, but at the same time it contains too much information. Your laws have also been changed a lot. It's strange that the northern and southern lords treat it differently."
Galt said, taking the apple juice drink from Alves.
"This starts with the Civil War that happened before Kislev, which seems to be considered history now. However, in order to understand the different treatment of the northern and southern lords of Kislev today, we have to start from that period of history.
rise."
Alves said, taking a sip of the wine in his glass.
"You should probably know some stories about the Civil War in Kislev. Eleven years ago, Kislev was still ruled by the Blood Queen Katarina. At that time, the greenskin army invaded from the other side of the mountains. The bloody Katrin
Na used a blizzard to block the greenskins from marching into Kislev City, but left the entire northern territory to the greenskins, leaving them to fend for themselves. Lord Rhodes led the northern lords to fight against the greenskins in a desperate situation. In the end, he risked his own life
Danger, lead the greenskin leader Grimgor Ironhide to the Troll Mountains to relieve the crisis in the north."
"Since then, the northern lords have supported Rhodes as the King of the North and openly resisted Katarina. The civil war between the north and the south of Kislev has begun."
"In this war, most of the southern lords supported Catalina, because Catalina, who was still queen at the time, promised to give the northern land to these southern lords after the war and give them privileges in certain matters. The rich
The southern land continuously provided troops and supplies to Catalina, which made the situation of the northern coalition forces very difficult. The war lasted for three years. In the end, Rhodes led the northern coalition forces all the way to the capital Kislev, and in
In the battle in the palace, he killed the Vampire Queen."
"After the war, all the southern lords were punished. However, punishment alone was not enough. Rhodes asked them to return their military power. Several southern lords who had fully supported Catalina were imprisoned for life, and the remaining southern lords were asked to disarm.
Only a few private guards are left to protect the territory and the safety of the lords. As compensation, the southern lords and nobles can enjoy certain advantages and privileges in the field of trade. The northern princes, as victors and supporters, enjoy the reservation of military power. However,
Once the King of the North makes a request, he must fully support it. This is the origin of this seemingly unequal treaty. In the past few years, the north and the south have been treated differently, but they have been peaceful without any major conflicts. The southern lords disdain to fight with the northern lords.
They thought they were rude and barbaric, just a group of nouveau riche who followed the opposite class. The northern lords relied on their military power and also ignored the southern lords and nobles. However, there was no direct conflict of interest, so there were no large-scale battles between the two sides in the past few years.
.In addition, Denis, who was still the queen at the time and is now the queen, reconciled and contained both sides, so the north and south of Kislev have been relatively stable and peaceful over the past few years."
Alves said slowly. Galt on the side felt like he was listening to a historical biography, listening with gusto, which was much more interesting than those boring official documents.
