Chapter 43 43 New Servant

Chapter 43 New Servant

For ordinary people, it is a very fortunate thing to be able to enter the castle and become a servant of the lord and nobles.

Firstly, as long as you join the castle, it means that in most cases you don’t have to worry about starving or freezing, and you can also have a stable income;

Secondly, entering the castle will give you the opportunity to get close to the nobles, and if you are lucky, you will have the opportunity to get rewards, and even the opportunity to change your destiny and improve your class!

So when Chahar on the grassland announced that Shanlin Castle was going to recruit 20 servants, the people who had not yet dispersed were boiling, and many people volunteered to rush forward.

If it weren’t for David and Tom, a few extraordinary knights, who were maintaining order at the scene, it is estimated that the young butler would be completely surrounded by the surging crowd.

The enthusiasm for the competition was very high, but with Chahar’s words, many people immediately became depressed.

The reason is that in addition to the chef, Shanlin Castle only needs people in the age range of 18 to 35 years old, and there is no chance for those over this age.

The next step is the big screening.

When it comes to selecting people, Chahar first complies with the three requirements proposed by Roning, and then some standards he set himself.

For example, for servants who are responsible for carrying things and moving things in the castle, he requires them to look strong and powerful;

For example, for people who are Roning's personal male servants, he requires them to look decent, smart, and quick to react;

For example, for personal maids, although the master does not seem to be very interested in women, Chahar thinks that personal maids should be as beautiful as possible.

After all, when Roning goes out to visit other nobles in the future, personal male and female servants will follow and serve. If they look strange, it will damage the face of the Baron of Shanlin Town.

Chahar will never allow such things to happen.

Therefore, he spent less time selecting other servants, but spent a long time on the positions of personal maids and personal male servants.

It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that Chahar gathered twenty servants and brought them to the castle to meet Roning.

On the grass outside the main building of the inner castle, Ronin looked at the servants standing in rows in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chahar. You have done a good job."

Chahar bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, sir."

He began to introduce.

The three people standing in the front were Garen, the personal servant, Bella, the personal maid, and Bandele, the chef in the kitchen.

"Garen is a 19-year-old boy. There are four people in his family. His father was a guard who followed the Earl here in the early years to take charge of logistics."

"Bella is also 19 years old. Her parents are free people in the town and cultivate some fields."

"Mrs. Bandele is 38 years old. Although she is old, I have personally eaten the food she made in her shabby bakery. Compared with others, it is the best."

When he introduced, these new and somewhat nervous servants saluted and greeted Ronin one after another. They were very reserved. After all, the lord's "killing reputation" was outside.

Ronin looked at them.

These people were all wearing linen clothes, and the styles were similar. The difference was that some people's clothes were newer, while others had several patches on their clothes, which showed that their living environment was not very good.

This was normal. After all, they were civilians in the mountains. It was good enough to be strong and wear clothes. The requirements could not be too high.

However, this maid made Roning look at her twice. She was pretty. If she dressed up a little, she might be more beautiful than Prince's two lovers.

Chahar was worthy of being a person who had studied in Wushan Fort. He still had a good vision.

Behind these three people were ordinary servants in the castle, servants in charge of livestock, etc.

Roning did not spend much time remembering their names. After all, the people he had more contact with in daily life were probably only the three people in front.

"Very good, welcome to join us."

After Chahar finished his introduction, Roning said a few words of welcome, "Chahar, there should be some servants' clothes in the castle, you can distribute them later."

"In addition, teach them basic etiquette, especially Galen and Bella. You may follow me out later, so you need to change some habits in your behavior."

Chahar was relieved.

Before he came, he thought the master would find fault with the two people and ask him to recruit again, but he didn't expect that all 20 people passed.

"Master, don't worry, I will teach them basic etiquette after I go down. I will pay special attention to Galen and Bella!"

Roning didn't continue to express any opinions on the servants. Chahar was educated, so he could handle these things.

"First, send the second recruitment information to Shanlin Town."

He had to arrange the affairs of the political officer first, and ordered: "I need to recruit a political officer. All the people in Shanlin Town can come to the castle to apply at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Of course, not everyone can."

He emphasized: "In addition to the points mentioned yesterday, the age limit can be relaxed, 40 years old and below are OK, and you must be able to read and write most of the texts, and your mobility cannot be restricted."

The condition of knowing most of the texts alone may filter out a large number of people.

Because in this world, knowledge is expensive.

A book with dozens of pages bound by parchment usually costs several silver coins!

It is very good for ordinary people to be able to ensure the three meals a day for their family. Where can they have extra energy and money to study and buy books?

After Roning and Chahar took the servants down, he began to think about the questions he would ask the interviewers tomorrow. After all, if there are many applicants, he still needs to screen them.

After a while, Roning finalized the questions, and then came to the window and cast the wind spell outside.

This spell is not difficult for a beginner magician of wind attribute. In addition, Roning's attribute affinity has reached super level. Since he learned it that night, he can soon cast it 100% successfully.

The reason why he continued to practice was mainly to improve the proficiency and stability of mental power in carving spell patterns, in preparation for making spell scrolls later.

The magician Pedro said that the production of spell scrolls requires the magician's mental power and mana output to be extremely stable in order to carve spell patterns on the monster skin.

If this condition is not met, spell scrolls cannot be made, just like Pedro tried many times, but in the end it was just a waste.

Ronin obviously meets this condition.

His mental power and mana are very stable, so making spell scrolls in the future should not be a problem. He also asked Elron privately, and the other party seemed to meet this condition.

In other words, in the future, Shanlin Town can have two magicians making spell scrolls.

Ronin thought seriously that if Shanlin Town did not have any special products, he could sell spell scrolls as resources.

Moreover, once their magicians become higher in level and can make powerful spell scrolls, they can be used as a strategic resource at that time.

If there is a magic that can destroy a city in an instant, and Ronin can make it into a spell scroll, then this scroll is equivalent to a nuclear weapon.

Of course, this is just his fantasy. He doesn't know whether there is any magic that defies the heavens in this world.

These are all later. At this stage, a second-level healing spell scroll can definitely sell well.

In this way, Roning can also accumulate a certain amount of money.

In addition to the spell scroll, Roning also plans to rely on the memory of his previous life to see if he can develop some industries.

For example, liquor?

People in this world like to drink very much. From the nobles to the ordinary people, they all have the habit of drinking, and there are many people who are addicted to alcohol.

However, they drink beer and wine. The nobles in the previous life have never touched liquor, so there is obviously no liquor.

This gives Roning a very clear market.

However, Roning has not actually operated on how to make liquor, and it is estimated that it will take a long time of exploration and experimentation.

Fortunately, the theoretical knowledge is already available, and what is lacking is only practical operation. Roning is very confident in himself.
