Chapter 18 Have you ever heard of the God of Knowledge?
"It's not because of that damn Dursley! Oh yes, there are also the hateful Shade Rubble, two bastards!" Rena cursed in distress, "They really deserve to be sent to hell by the God of Glow! Scum!"
Pat heard Dursley's name for the second time, and this time there was also someone called Shadow Shade.
The latter sounds less human and more like a common name among the goblins of Greenport.
"What's going on?"
Reina explained angrily: "It's a long story, here's how it happened."
"My father used to be a member of the Masons' Association of the Kingdom of Reyak. There have been no major construction plans in the Kingdom in recent years. In order to find a job to make money, he came to Greenport with his friends from the association, intending to find some... What projects can I take on?”
"When we first arrived in Greenport, we had no foundation, so we naturally hugged each other for warmth and helped each other in any difficulties."
"In order to facilitate everyone's communication, my father took the lead in organizing a small mason brotherhood here."
"A few years ago, a gentleman from Uptown planned to renovate his manor. My father accepted the commission on behalf of the Brotherhood of Masons. However, he had an accident while working and was hit on his left hand by a stone."
"Because my hand was injured, I could no longer continue my work as a mason, and it cost a lot of money to hire a therapist to treat the injury. Later, my father's friends also pooled money for him, bought a house here, and opened a small Tavern to entertain passing sailors."
Peter understood: "So the sign of the pub is called Money Brothers Tavern, which means that this pub is opened by Mr. Money and his good brothers."
"Yes, my father has always said that he would give dividends to other mason friends, but no one has accepted them." Rena introduced very seriously: "Father's friends are really good people."
“When the tavern first opened and there were no customers, it was because they came to the tavern specifically to drink two glasses of wine after work, and then it gradually gained popularity.”
"Half a year ago, the Brotherhood was very lucky and received a big order - Monger, a big businessman from the Kingdom of Leyak, planned to build a large-scale holiday manor here in Green Harbor."
"Monger entrusted a goblin broker named Cunning Shadow Gravel to invite bids in Green Harbor. In the end, the Stonemasons Brotherhood successfully obtained the order. Cunning Shadow Gravel entrusted us with all tasks from design to construction. ”
"Everyone calculated at that time that after this project is completed, on average, each person will be rewarded with more than 2 gold coins!"
2 gold coins is definitely not a small amount for ordinary people.
For a baron from a small place on the border of Leyak Kingdom like Pet, the food expenses for half a year would be worth two Leyak gold coins.
For an ordinary family, one gold coin would be enough to provide food for the whole family for a whole year.
"In order to complete this big order, everyone in the fraternity worked very hard. Even my father helped with the planning and drawings. He didn't have much rest for many days. Finally, he successfully completed the project before the end of the promised construction period."
"As a result..." At this point, Rena became obviously angry, "That abominable goblin, he is just like Dursley, two bad guys with pus, they both deserve to be directly purified by the God of Glow!"
"The Masons Brotherhood has always followed the old tradition of only accepting a small deposit before completion. We have been busy for so long, and when we approached Cunning Shadow Gravel to ask for the balance, he actually started cheating!"
"First, he said that the quality was not up to standard and the finished product did not meet the employer's expectations. He shouted that half of the remuneration would be deducted. Then he said that he was short of money recently and gave him some time to raise money."
"My father went to find the goblin several times, but he never got the money. The Greenport Police Department was too lazy to take care of these commercial disputes. The last time he went to the goblin to ask for money, he actually invited that bastard Dursley. Just beat everyone in the fraternity and drive them out!"
"Dursley used to be a gangster in the lower city. Then somehow, one day he suddenly mastered the method of controlling anger and became a first-level warrior professional from a trainee warrior."
"By daring to fight hard, extorting debts, beating people, demolishing houses, and pimping out all kinds of evil, he soon made his way into the gang called the Blood Fang Gang and became a high-level executive."
"Then the boss of the Bloodfang Gang disappeared, and Dursley took over as the new boss of the Bloodfang Gang." "Over the years, he opened several casinos and clubs in the Lower City. I don't know how much money he made, and his strength also increased. The first-level warrior has been promoted to the second level.”
"That goblin scoundrel, he asked Dursley to support him, and he made it clear that he planned to swallow up the reward!"
"During this period, Dursley kept sending people to harass us. He also specially issued a message to warn the people of the Masonic Brotherhood not to ask for the money again, otherwise it will not only be harassment by smashing the door. It’s so simple.”
"Two bastards, these two guys are just maggots in the same stinky ditch. They are both evil-hearted!" Reina became angrier as she spoke and took a swig of ale bitterly.
After understanding the cause and effect, Peter felt a little sympathetic to Lena's family's experience. After coming to Greenport, they encountered all kinds of bad things one after another. No one has such bad luck.
"Goblins, these money-minded little greenskins really don't have many good things. When doing business with goblins, never hope that they can abide by the so-called fair transactions. Goblins are the race in the world that doesn't take the terms of contracts seriously."
Reina took another sip of wine, a little blush appeared on her face, and she agreed angrily: "Mr. Pett, you are absolutely right."
"Actually, when I received the commission this time, I wanted to remind my father that he must let the goblin pay the bill before starting work. At least he should go to the Greenport Bank to have it notarized. But my father was too kind, and he still did it as before. The Stonemasons Association’s old tradition of doing things has suffered a big loss this time!”
As she said that, Lena sighed sadly again, with a lingering look of worry on her eyebrows: "Now the damn Dursley sends people to harass her every day, and the tavern can hardly operate normally."
"Everyone in the Stonemason Brotherhood is an ordinary person, but there are five Level 1 professionals in the Bloodfang Gang alone, not to mention a Level 2 warrior like Dursley."
"If this continues, the tavern will have no income, and other members of the brotherhood will not dare to go out to find new jobs. We may have to give up the hard-earned foundation here and go to other places to find another way out."
"Sigh... It would be great if I could become a powerful mage like you, Mr. Pett. In that case, maybe there would be a way to beat away those bastards from the Bloodfang Gang."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
There was a soft sound in Peter's ears.
"bite"

Peter pondered for a moment.
"That...Rena..."
"What's the matter, Mr. Pat?"
"...Have you ever heard of the God of Knowledge?"
