Chapter 0260

The tavern was no longer like the feast-like decorations of last night, but the dirty tables and chairs that had not been cleaned up. The air was filled with the smell of bread and meat, which was mouth-watering.

Lorraine did not see the tall young man last night, nor did she see the half-ling girl, only a person who called herself "Seth" greeted her.

There were more than twenty people entering the tavern one after another. Most of them were very young, occasionally in their thirties and forties, all of whom were in a downturn. As for women, there were probably only one Lorraine.

Waiting for everyone to arrive, Seth sat on the stool in front of the bar and shouted, "Okay, quiet. If you don't want to be kicked out, it's better to learn some rules from now on."

Most of the more than 20 people knew each other. When they found out that they seemed to have good luck, they could not help but whisper. But when Seth said "quiet", everyone shut up and no one dared to joke about their future.

"Everyone, you are lucky because a huge opportunity has emerged. My master is very rich and has a high status, beyond your imagination. He wants to recruit a group of useful talents, so he has the feast last night. Are you happy to eat?"

Faced with the sudden question, everyone laughed, mostly shy.

Seth continued: "But last night was just the beginning. My master will train you to solve your food and accommodation, and give you two silver coins per week. If you have excellent grades, there will be bonuses."

Wow, I have food and accommodation, and I have two silver coins per week. Is there such a good thing in the world? Everyone was immediately happy and everyone was very happy.

It is common for ordinary shops to recruit apprentices, and it is good to have a lunch. As for the allowance, it is absolutely not available. I still have money to make money in studying now, and I have never heard of it.

Even Lorraine became excited and two silver coins a week, which was enough to provide food and drink for a family of five. Excellent performance and bonuses are also available. If I want to get the bonus, I must get the bonus.

Seeing everyone excited, Seth smiled and said, "Don't be too happy too early. How far you can go depends on your own efforts. Because the master hates incompetent people and many people are willing to be loyal to them, the waste that cannot pass the exam will be eliminated."

Elimination? This word is very bad. No one likes it.

"In addition to the elimination of the exam, there is also the elimination of the final. That is, the worst one among you wants to stay and make a living, and you still have to get out of here." Seth threw out the second rule.

This is even worse, which means internal competition. Everyone is tight-skinned and looking at each other, estimating what level they are at?

Lorraine's face turned pale in an instant, and her mind was confused. She knew very well that she had only learned some basic common terms from an old pastor, and had read a book of the "God of Suffering" Irmat's 'God of Suffering', but nothing else.

Seth felt secretly happy about the changes in everyone's expressions, "How can my master's meal be so delicious? You have to suffer all the sins I have suffered, and no one can hide from it."

Someone seemed to be very confident in his ability and asked: "Sir, if we pass the exam, what kind of job will we get in the end? I mean, what is the salary?"

Hahaha, Seth laughed, "Do you know how many people came to eat free food last night? Do you know how much my master spent on that meal?"

No one knows it, and they are stunned for the answer.

"Last night, one hundred and twenty-four people came to have dinner. They didn't have enough food in this tavern, so they had to go to a nearby grain store to buy it. This cost my master a total of eighteen gold coins."

Wow, there was another burst of marvel, this was such a luxurious meal.

No one in the tavern could imagine what it would be like to spend eighteen gold coins in a meal. Now they knew it. Seth did not stop and continued: "Even if my master is a servant, his monthly income is one gold and five silvers.

If he can get his appreciation, the minimum starting salary is three gold coins. As my master's loyal servant, my monthly income is eight gold and six silver. I believe that the Banshee Castle can earn this income at least one knight attendant."

When these numbers were said, the scene was quiet, but no one spoke. Because everyone couldn't believe it, they really couldn't believe it. The monthly salary of servants could be judged as gold coins? It's too exaggerated!

The starting salary that can be appreciated is three gold coins? Lorraine felt her forehead swelling and pain, and her heartbeats pounding. She had to close her eyes and lower her head slightly to calm herself down, but tears couldn't stop flowing out of her eyes.

For the poor, let alone gold coins, it is difficult to earn a copper coin. How many people were driven to the street because they could not afford the rent of several copper coin, and how many people starved to death because they could not afford three copper coin a pound of wood chip oats?

Now there is a chance to earn three gold coins a month. This is an absolute leap. It is impossible to make people jealous. After just talking about their income, Seth took out a thick stack of papyrus and said, "Okay, don't be too excited, take the exam first."

You novices asked you to experience the hardships I had not long ago and asked everyone to line up tables in the tavern, arrange seats, and distribute test papers. He laughed wildly while he was laughing.

In order to improve his subordinates' abilities, Zhou Qingfeng and Sophia tried their best to start classes and take exams. Seth originally thought that he was a person who had been to school, but he was tortured by his master's learning content and wanted to hang himself.

Four people sat in front of a dining table. The hand-written questions on papyrus are brought with them each with a quill brush and a bottle of ink. Lorraine was dizzy when she saw the first question. How to calculate the circular area?

Who knows this?

Lorraine was stunned and had never learned it before. The God of Suffering did not teach this thing. As soon as she looked up, the other three people at the same table were also in a daze. She asked in a low voice, "Do you know how to do the first question?"

No one answered. One of them quickly protected the paper with his hands, as if he was afraid that she would copy the answer. But in fact, everyone was confused.

Looking at the second question, she drew a rough map of the Northland and identified the main city scope. Lorraine came from a small town and knew that the Banshee Castle was all due to escape. In addition, she didn't even know what the Northland was.

Geographic knowledge is zero!

Question 3: Write a history you know.

It was so miserable that Lorraine felt cold. She had only read the Scriptures, and there were only some teachings of Irmatt, the "God of Suffering", which were mostly words that encouraged people to be good. What is history? That is something that only nobles are qualified to learn!

Question 4: Describe the ideal in your heart.

Ideal, is it considered to be full and well-dressed? This ideal seems to be too low-level. But Lorraine didn't think much about the future, so she really couldn't think of anything else. After that, I must be the one who was eliminated at the bottom.

I have clearly obtained the opportunity to change my destiny, but did I fail just after taking the first step?

After an hour of the exam, Seth personally invigilated the exam. Anyone dared to plagiarize and cheat for the first time warned him or drove him away for the second time.

Lorraine was so dizzy that she almost handed in the blank paper. She only wrote a few sentences on the last question. But she herself didn't know what she had written. When she walked out of the tavern, she was weak all over, her eyes were straight, her head was empty, and she was completely confused.

Lorraine didn't care about other people at all. She didn't know how to face her family, and she didn't even have the courage to go back, just thinking that she was still dead.

When the thin girl walked out, a large group of onlookers stood outside. Some people kept asking her what was going on in the tavern? She kept shaking her head, crying silently, and just squeezing outward until she grabbed her with one hand and dragged her to the street.

"Child, have you seen the recruiting noble master? Have you asked me if they still recruit people?" An anxious question made Lorraine return to her soul. It was the thin black man who had not left yet, and was outside with other idle men.

Lorraine, who saw this thin black man and suffered a critical hit by the 'Basket Test', asked quietly, "Do you know how to calculate the area of ​​a circle?"

"The area of ​​the circle?" The thin black man didn't think much about it, "There is a special calculation formula that is related to the radius. But I can't remember it clearly, so I have to search the book to find out. Why do you ask this?"

Lorraine suddenly had her eyes lit up and asked again: "Do you know the location of the big cities in the north? Can you draw their maps?"

"This is no problem. I know the location of the seventeen cities in the north." said the thin black man.

Lorraine in turn grabbed the other party's hand, "Where is history? How much do you know about history?"

The thin black man smiled bitterly and said, "I just studied history, but in this world, what's the use of learning it?"

Lorraine screamed in shock, then lowered her voice and watched from side to side, pulled the black and thin man farther away, and took out two silver coins from her pocket and distributed one to the other party, "This is the allowance I just received. I will give you half."

The thin black man widened his eyes and refused to let go after grabbing the silver coin, "Child, what do you want me to do?"

Lorraine gritted her teeth and said desperately: "Teach me what you know. I must pass the exam. As long as I get the first place in the exam, I will definitely pull you in. The monthly salary is as high as three gold coins."
