Chapter 145 I, Master Qinnar, have hired them all!
As soon as these words came out.
Miranda's thoughts went blank for a moment.
"Death? You, you, why?"
She couldn't understand it.
One of the "stand-ins", whose face was covered with wrinkles and looked to be sixty or seventy years old, said sincerely:
"Your Mightiness."
"During the red tide the year before last, the village where I live was unlucky and suffered disaster. Although adventurers later helped to eliminate the monsters, the farmland was polluted and abandoned. I could only escape with my wife and four children, so I could stay at home. There was still some strength left, and the family managed to survive by holding tight to their waists. "
"Who knew that last year's red tide would hit our village again?"
"I used my last savings to buy seeds to resume farming, but the farmland was contaminated again. This time we really have nothing."
At this point, the man suddenly coughed painfully and his face turned pale.
Miranda hurriedly opened the Glow Book and cast a level 2 divine spell [Relieving Disease] on the opponent.
Little bits of light fell from the top of his head. Under the relief of divine magic, the man's condition improved a lot.
He tried to kneel down to show his gratitude, but Miranda stopped him.
"It doesn't have to be like this, this is what I should do."
The man swallowed and continued:
"Your Excellency, Pastor, you have also seen that I am actually sick."
"It's an old problem from the year before last. I got seriously ill when I was fleeing from famine, and the root of the problem was laid. In the past two years, I've felt more and more powerless."
"Staying in a refugee settlement outside Ceylon, I simply cannot feed my four children. They even need them to take care of me when I am sick from time to time."
"It was Lord Xiwei who found me."
"When we signed the substitute contract, Mr. Xiwei made an agreement with us. As long as we sign this contract, we will get 30 silver coins immediately!"
"If I unfortunately die in the Dark Forest, the next time he goes to recruit a new substitute, he will give the remaining 70 silver coins to my wife and children."
"This much money is enough for my family to survive difficult times and buy enough grain."
"When the pollution dissipates in winter, my second son will be an adult by then. If we plant wheat, their lives can continue."
"So... all I want now is that someone can hire me as soon as possible. Anyway, I probably won't live long."
"If I continue like this, I will suffer, and my family will also be dragged down by me."
"Why don't I make some contributions to them in the end."
The man stood up from the ground with a hunched body, and bowed deeply to Miranda and Peter sincerely.
"I know that's not a good thing to say."
"But please believe me, your Excellency the Reverend, and the adults and gentlemen, that I will really be obedient. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Please hire me!"
…
"Here, the contract is here, you can take a look at its contents."
Hugo didn't know when he got into the house and handed a thin wooden stick to Miranda in a calm voice.
"Both parties sign a contract, and Party A immediately pays 30 silver coins. Party B must obey Party A's arrangements. Each time Party B is hired, Party B can receive 50% of the remuneration. If Party B dies due to the contract, Party A pays 70 silver coins to the beneficiary designated by Party B. ”
"Party A: Hugo Seavey"
"Party B: (handprint)"
It is different from other "contracts" that goblins often have dozens or even hundreds of pages, and then bury countless text loopholes in them that can be exploited by them.
The content of Hugo's contract was so concise that it didn't even use a piece of parchment, but a wooden strip that was not very easy to use.
The writing on it is crooked and twisted like a dog crawling.
Party B can't even sign and can only press his fingerprint to prove it.
Miranda felt as if her throat was blocked by something, unable to speak.
This was different from what she expected.
Looking at Hugo Siwei's cunning and shrewd appearance, she thought that he was like the cunning Shadow Gravel from Greenport, who could only draw all kinds of pie and make promises. In fact, he had no intention of fulfilling his promise. method to trick others into doing work for him.
But Hugo is different from the goblins of Green Harbor. Rather than asking the refugees who signed this contract to die in the dark forest to make money for him.
Rather, he was actually giving these refugees, who knew they were dying, a final chance to contribute to their families in disguise.
Miranda's eyes swept over the people in the room.
[The Secret of All Things Revealed] Under divine magic, everyone’s condition is inescapable.
"Illness (severe)"
"Illness (serious)"
"Illness (severe)"
"..."
Even the one with the mildest condition still has a reminder of "disease (moderate)", and the words "deteriorating" are added at the end.
In addition, everyone also has a special status in common in their status bar:
"Looking forward to it."
Miranda didn't know what to say for a moment.
There are so many refugees in need of help, why doesn't the Glow God Religion help them get out of trouble?
Why can’t the nobles and professionals in Ceylon donate some relief?
Obviously, as long as you take out a few dozen silver coins, you can help a large number of people.
They are all very wealthy, and they all profess their belief in the God of Radiance, bathe in the God's gifts, and are willing to pursue the teachings of Radiance.
But their actions are almost invisible.
These people are now even willing to sign a substitute contract in order to earn a gold coin for their family.
"You all said that you are not afraid of death and will do whatever you are told, right?"
Just when Miranda was confused, Peter's steady voice sounded in the dim room.
All the "substitutes" nodded in agreement:
"Yes, my lord!"
"We promise to obey!"
"It doesn't matter that we are sick, but it won't affect our operations! We can do everything from road opening, reconnaissance, night watch, and baiting!"
Peter crossed his arms over his chest and spoke again to confirm:
"Even if you leave the border of the kingdom and can never come back again, you are willing, right?"
"right!"
"We do!"
Three confirmations:
"You may even be contaminated by the evil god's power, but you're not afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Peter's eyes swept across the eager eyes of everyone in the room, and he waved his hand: "Okay! That's it!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you either!"
"Next, my companions and I will go deep into the dark forest and explore a very, very dangerous place. We really need a lot of people who are not afraid of death to help us explore the way!"
"Hugo!"
"Hey! Sir! I'm here!" Hugo, who was standing next to him with a surprised look on his face, hurriedly replied.
"Set the account with me!"
"Hurry up and count!"
"I, Master Qinnar, have hired all these people in the house today. No one can be left behind!"
…
Presented at the fifth update! I'm really sorry, but the previous version of Miranda's plot was not satisfactory, so I had to rewrite it.
Thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much!
Thanks to Kosmo for the support of 100 starting coins. I wish the boss will get rich every day and never die!
