1685 Referral

Old Peel's residence is a little far from the commercial district.

The detached house is hidden in a forest and is not easy to be noticed from the outside.

It has been three days since entering the commercial district. In Raymond's opinion, there are scammers everywhere, but there are no robbers, let alone thieves.

In other words, in the commercial district, no matter what the reason is, the power of the original individual is deliberately abandoned, and any method can be chosen, but only "force" will not be used.

Raymond, who came here with Augustus, also thought about the reason along the way. In his opinion, it is because the bracelet on the wrist is unique, so even if it can be used to transfer funds, it will not be peeped.

Not far away from the secluded forest path, you can see the wooden house built by the stream. The slow stream seems to have washed away a corner of the courtyard wall, destroying the overall beauty.

However, unlike the reinforced concrete buildings commonly seen in the commercial area, this small house by the stream in the forest, which seems to be built entirely of wood, has a low-key luxury, revealing some of the wealth that this "settler" can have.

But for the huge Raymond and Augustus, the owner of this small house will definitely not welcome them in, and even the yard seems unwilling to let them touch it. The woman in maid clothes waiting in front of the yard came up after seeing Augustus. "Follow me!"

The charming face and upright posture of this woman with vertical pupils like an ordinary person have a very unique temperament. She doesn't look like a maid at all. In Raymond's opinion, she should be used to ordering others around.

Sure enough, when the maid who led the way came to the stream behind the house, she pointed to the thin guy sitting in the small pavilion in the middle of the stream, and returned alone without saying a word.

The stream was only three or four meters wide and only ten centimeters deep at the shallow end. There were no common fish, but a kind of black fish with a body like a loach but extremely sharp teeth. They were all gathered around the hanging bait, moving frantically.

His eyes penetrated the stream. Raymond could only vaguely see that what seemed to be an oval bait was being bitten and attacked by these strange fish, but there were too many strange fish covering its surface, so he couldn't tell what the bait was.

Raymond wanted to get closer to see it, but was stopped by Augustus. He stopped a few meters away from the stream bank and said. "Old Pierre, this is Lieutenant Mithras whom I met a few days ago. You can tell me what you want now..."

The thin guy with his back to the direction of the hut turned his head, as if his eyesight was not very good. He looked at Raymond and Augustus standing by the stream for a moment, then nodded and asked to wait.

Old Pierre stood up and lifted the pole in his hand and hung it on the support frame beside him, so that the bait covered by a large group of black strange fish finally appeared.

That was not a bait at all!

It was a head with vertical pupils that had been bitten so hard that its original appearance could not be seen!

The size was similar to that of an ordinary vertical pupil, but the wound on the neck was uneven, and even the spine was still hanging in two pieces.

Old Pierre, with loose skin and a dark complexion. He flicked his fingers on the strange fish covering the heads, causing them to fall back into the stream, and then he took out a silk scarf and carefully wiped and cleaned the head that had been bitten by most of the flesh. When there was no more water stain on the head, he turned around and sighed. "This is the Major General Gulimi who invited me to the club last time. There is no way out when the deadline comes, so I will make everything that belongs to her disappear at her request. She doesn't want to be recycled..."

Only when Augustus heard this, his body suddenly tensed up and he shouted in a deep voice. "Old Pierre, your behavior is illegal! Even if she is a settler, she needs to be sent back to the furnace for recycling. Your behavior is extremely inappropriate!"

"Yes, these are all illegal, but as an old friend of Gulimi for many years, Old Pierre doesn't want her to be recycled like this. I had to bribe those law enforcement officers to take her body back and deal with it according to her wishes..."

Old Pierre stroked the head while speaking. There was a sigh and nostalgia in his expression, but this somewhat weird behavior made Augustus, who was a little angry before, stop talking.

A weird atmosphere gradually emerged. After Old Pierre finished his work, he walked over through the floating bridge, raised his face to look at Raymond for a moment, and spoke. "Lieutenant Mithras, going to the epidemic area is very risky. Not only will you have to face the consequences of breaking the law, but you will also have to bear the threat of the epidemic there. However, the reward is enough to make you ignore everything. If you are willing to accept my employment, then gather here in three days!"

"How many hirers are there on this trip?"

"If you include you, there are exactly three. Your mission is definitely within your ability..."

While speaking, Old Pierre threw out a black bracelet and motioned Raymond to wear it on his left hand. "This is a tool that combines communication and other facilities. You can read the instructions for use. All its permissions will be opened after departure..."

Raymond, who caught the black bracelet, felt that its material was quite soft. After it was configured, it covered his wrist and became transparent. If you don't look carefully, you can't see its existence at all.

However, when Raymond's fingers rubbed it, a virtual screen appeared, which seemed to be some kind of communicator, with several channels that could be selected.

The options under the communication channel selection were all gray, obviously because the permissions were not opened.

Augustus, who came over, looked a little stunned after seeing the screen on Raymond's wrist clearly, and then spoke. "Old Pierre, is this considered a deal?"

"One-fifth of your reward will be paid before departure, and it will be fully settled when I return safely..."

August bowed slightly as a salute, and then quickly left the hut with Raymond.

Seeing that Augustus looked happy on the way back, Raymond asked the reason.

"You have seen what Old Pierre looks like. He can only hold on for another month or two before he completely collapses. The head you saw before was the old woman you saw in the club. I didn't expect that it has become like that in just two days..."

Recalling the situation in the booth he saw at that time, Raymond was a little puzzled. "Old woman? Are you talking about the youngest one sitting together that day?"

"This will happen to settlers a few days before their bodies collapse, but then their bodies will completely collapse and will be sent to the furnace for recycling!"

Raymond's heart moved when he heard this, and he spoke immediately. "It has been said that 'returning to the furnace is returning to the arms of the Holy Lord', but I have never understood its true meaning..."

"We can't discuss this! This topic is a taboo among taboos. Even if you accept the employment of Old Pierre and go to the epidemic area, such a topic cannot be touched!" Before Raymond finished speaking, Augustus, whose expression suddenly changed, lowered his voice and stopped him.

"Anyway, they are all illegal. Is there still a big difference between them?"

Raymond's tone shocked Augustus. "Different! Different! Going to the epidemic area and being caught will at most send you to the most dangerous plane, but discussing this will result in immediate execution. Don't think there is no big difference between them!"

Raymond realized that this topic was too sensitive, so he stopped talking and asked about the reward that Augustus would receive, and the reward he would receive after accepting the job.

Augus raised his left arm to open the bracelet, and laughed after checking his asset balance. "Mithus, I can't imagine the reward you get. The one-fifth transferred to me has reached 6,000 holy coins. When you complete the task and come back, I will get 30,000 holy coins..."

A simple referral can bring such a huge profit, so what will be the reward given to the employer? (To be continued ~^~)
