Chapter 708 Are you willing to work for the devil?
"Now that the master knows what's going on, I'll leave first. Dinner isn't ready yet."
Seeing that the task had been completed, Levina quickly asked for instructions.
"Well, go ahead." Jack waved.
With permission, Levina left immediately.
Before leaving, she motioned to Lin Xi and others to walk into the study.
Of course, she left without caring whether Lin Xin and the others walked in.
Only Lin Xin and the others were left looking at each other.
After a while, Lin Xi, who was more courageous, walked into the study. Seeing someone taking the lead, the remaining women followed.
"Hello..." Lin Xin looked at Jack carefully and hesitantly, "Excuse me, are you the owner of this mansion?"
She asked mainly because Jack looked so young. In other words, young.
He looks no older than seven or eight years old.
Because he is too young, it is difficult to even tell whether he is a boy or a girl.
Judging from the other party's clothes, maybe he is a boy?
"Yes, I am." Jack nodded slightly, "This is Jack Dawson. You can call me Lord Dawson, or you can just call me by my name."
He was quite approachable.
"Lord Dawson..." Lin Xin and others looked at each other and shook their heads vaguely, "Excuse my ignorance, I seem to have never heard of this surname."
As a noble daughter, you may not know anything, but there are two things you must know.
One is the social etiquette of nobles, and the other is to recite all the domestic noble family trees, as well as some important foreign noble family trees.
Obviously, there is no famous Dawson family worth mentioning in the Golden Flower Empire.
As for ordinary people...
That's not what they're considering.
"Oh, you heard it now." Jack didn't mind Lin Xin's questioning tone. He just spoke at his own pace, "You guys came here as refugees, right? Can you still contact me? Family?”
When it came to matters related to themselves, several girls quickly cheered up.
"I don't know." Lin Fei answered bluntly, "We came here because Miss Wenxi said that we can stay here temporarily and then find someone to inquire about the situation."
"Speaking of which, where are you from?" Jack was a little curious.
"We came out of Salil City." Julia couldn't help but interrupt angrily, "Lord Dawson City, could you help us find out information about Salil?"
"Saril? Let me see where it is..."
Jack did not respond in a hurry, but found a map and took a look.
"Well...it turns out to be in a nearby city..."
He quickly found his destination.
"That's the territory of Duke Saril. What, is Duke Saril dying? Didn't he defend his city?"
"We don't know." Julia shook her head.
"Actually, before we left Saril, we saw the Duke and the eldest lady fighting." Mona joined the chat.
"Miss?" Jack had no idea who the sudden extra person was referring to.
"That's the eldest lady of the Saril family, the biological sister of the current Duke." Lin Xin sighed and explained, "At that time, a few of us went to the Duke's Mansion to attend a banquet at the invitation of the eldest lady. While the banquet was in progress, many living dead suddenly appeared and bitten the eldest lady. Although the Duke immediately rushed over with his soldiers after receiving the news, the eldest lady had become disowned and even followed him. The Duke started fighting."
"It was in that chaos that we escaped," Mona added.
"It seems like you are quite embarrassed." Jack was a little surprised.
The few in front of me are all nobles.
Since he is a noble, he must have servants, housekeepers and guards.
However, as of now, Lin Ping and others are all lonely nobles. Not a single servant.
It looks like...
They paid a lot of price to escape from Salil.
"Yes, we are still in the process of escaping and are sick." Ma Qi complained softly, "If Miss Wenxi hadn't found us, we don't know how long we would have stayed in the wild."
"It's in the wild..." Jack said thoughtfully, "You are quite lucky."
"Why do you say that?" Lin Fei was a little confused.
"There must be mutant beasts in the wild. What's so surprising about this?" Jack asked doubtfully, "You ran into the wild but were not attacked by mutant beasts. Isn't that considered lucky?"
"That's right." After hearing this, Lin Xin nodded slightly.
The group had a fever for more than a full week.
Staying there for such a long time.
If a mutated beast really passed by, it would have become a meal long ago.
After all, Julia was the only one who wasn't sick at the time.
If something really happened, he wouldn't even have the power to protect himself.
Their luck is really good.
"Okay, there's no need to say much more." Jack clapped his hands, "I probably know what you want. It's just a temporary place to stay and help you get some news, right?"
"Yes, yes." Several girls nodded repeatedly.
"These are not big things, I can promise you all." Jack paused after saying this, "It's just that there is no free lunch in this world, you need to pay some price."
Upon hearing the word "price", several girls invariably crossed their arms and crossed their chests, as if to resist some filthy existence.
"You... what kind of price do you want?" Ma Qi, the richest among the girls, asked hesitantly, "Can I pay with a space packet?"
"Space packet?" Jack raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's a bit interesting. However, these prices are different from what you think."
"What?" The girls were a little confused.
"You should have seen that there are not many living people in Tushan City." Jack half reminded, half explained, "To reactivate the vitality of the city, I need a large number of management talents. In my opinion, you These people with a certain level of education can be considered barely useful personnel.”
"You mean..." Lin Xin and others showed surprise on their faces.
They were not idiots. Jack spoke so clearly that there was nothing they could not understand.
It's just hard for them to believe that something like this could happen.
"You work for me in the city first. This is the price." Jack stated his request. "On the days when I work, I will pay your salary. Of course, there will be rewards for good work, and there will be rewards for bad work." Punishment, I hope you can understand this."
"I understand, I understand." Several girls nodded repeatedly.
"Now that you understand, are you willing to stay here and work for me?"
Jack asked again.
"By the way, I guess I didn't say that, right? I am a high-level demon. Are you willing to do things for the demon?"
Jack smiled as he said this.
