Chapter 7 Assistant
"Master, this is it! Laurent! Come out quickly, Harper's classmate is here!"

The aunt was polite and polite to Xia Lin all the way, and she spoke in a soft voice, but when she was talking to the Harper family, her voice returned to its original color without any politeness.

"classmate?"

Harper was busy copying the scroll at this time, when he was distracted, the runes on the parchment lit up one by one.

Accompanied by the shimmer of the runes, a mass of distorted transparent matter suddenly appeared in the air, and then quickly dissipated. Finally, all the runes on the spell scroll lost their magical luster.

Although after he repeatedly urged, the family members were careful not to make too much noise, but he still couldn't avoid the interference from outside the house.

Harper reluctantly put down the rune pen, walked to the small window in the attic and leaned out half of his body to see which classmate destroyed his three silver coins.

"Huh? Xia Lin, why are you here?"

Harper was a little surprised by the familiar figure downstairs. He had never told Xia Lin the exact location of his home, and he didn't expect Xia Lin to come to him.

"Hey! Harper, I'm here today to find you something."

Seeing his friend's face, Xia Lin smiled and waved to him.

"Okay, then wait a moment, I was drawing a spell scroll just now! What a coincidence you came!"

Xia Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard Harper's complaining words.

I think Harper had this reaction because he had scrapped a scroll just now, but he didn’t know whether that scroll was a zero-ring spell that cost forty copper pess, or a one-ring spell that cost eighty copper pess. The spell scroll.

"Hello, Master Mage! I am Laurent, Harper's father, please go in and talk!"

At this time, a thin middle-aged man also ran out of the tailor shop. He greeted him enthusiastically, and poked out two small heads beside the door frame of the shop, carefully watching Xia Lin, probably Harper's younger brother and sister.

In this era of lack of medical care and no contraceptive measures, there is no such thing as less births and better births. No matter whether they can afford it or not, everyone is trying their best to have children, so basically Xia Lin's peers will have children. Several brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters.

"I'm Charlene Carr, Harper's classmate."

Xia Lin nodded politely to them and introduced herself, then followed Harper's father's invitation and walked into the shop.

"Janet, thank you this time, let Jamie come to me to make a shirt next time!"

Behind Xia Lin, Harper's father sent away the satisfied and enthusiastic aunt, and Xia Lin also saw Harper coming down from the second floor.

"Xia Lin, why did you come to see me today? Aren't you going to prepare something for the road?"

Harper was obviously surprised to see Xia Lin, he asked curiously.

"No, I have already terminated my cadet contract with the Northern Army, and I am not planning to go to the Northern Territory."

Xia Lin shook her head and said something that shocked Harper.

"Solution... the contract was terminated?! That's fifteen jinlund. Where did you get the money? I see. You borrowed money from Ellen Gregg? No, how could Ellen Gregg borrow money?" Money for you?!"

Harper spoke in shock and confusion, obviously confused by the news that Xia Lin threw out.

"I made something and sold it to Ellen for forty gold lunds, it's as simple as that.

Harper, you've got your share of the money, and I wouldn't have been able to find Ellen Gregg without you.

Now I want to invite you to be my assistant and do a big business together.

If you agree, I will pay you all the money to terminate the contract, and at the same time give you five silver coins as a salary every day, and you only need to use this salary to pay back the fifteen gold coins slowly! "

Xia Lin succinctly explained his reason for coming. To strengthen his persuasiveness, he took out the linen money bag from his sleeve pocket, loosened the rope, and threw it on the tailor's table.

Jin Lunte in the bag made a clear and seductive sound, and everyone in the tailor's shop was immediately attracted by the charming golden figures emerging from the linen bags.

"Five silver coins..."

Looking at the bag of gold coins, Harper was obviously moved.

Although mages belong to the middle and upper levels of society, making money is not so easy.

For example, drawing scrolls has a success rate problem. Harper's current success rate is about [-]%.

The cost of a mage armor scroll is between eighty copper pess and one silver mare, and the selling price fluctuates around three silver mares.

His mental strength can withstand three to four drawings a day, and he can probably earn three or four silver mairs. The daily salary of five silver mairs is already higher than his hard work drawing scrolls, and even better than his own Draw reels stable.

The most important thing is that Xia Lin is willing to pay a huge sum of [-] jinlunds to release himself from the contract with the northern army.

Although many sergeant students in the college are full of longing for going to the north to make contributions, Harper is a family-sick person. In fact, he is not willing to be separated from his family for ten years.

He had no choice before, but now, Xia Lin gave him the opportunity to choose.

But fifteen Jinlund, can I really afford it?
"Harper, promise Lord Xia Lin quickly!"

Seeing Harper's hesitation and thinking, Laurent, Harper's father, whispered anxiously to him, and the two little radish heads beside him also looked at their brother full of prayers.

It can be seen that the emotions between the Harper family are very deep.

"Harper, you don't think there are really beautiful flowers waiting for us in the North, do you?
I have already asked Ellen Gregg, on the border between the Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia, there are countless military mages like you and me who have died.

We were sent there to deal with the Priests of the Cult of the Dark Light and the Order of the Dark Light, do you think you are a match for those cultists who are so fanatical they could wring their own heads off?

You can use your salary to slowly repay my fifteen gold lunettes, whether it is one a day or a few silver mala a day, you can decide by yourself.

If you don't trust me, we can write these conditions into the contract together! "

Xia Lin could see that Harper had wavered, but facing the heavy debt of fifteen jinlents, Harper might still have some concerns.

He struck while the iron was hot, first using the truth about being a military mage to dispel Harper's idea of ​​going to the north, and then agitating.

"What?! Didn't Drama and the others... go to die?"

When Harper heard the truth about the military mage told by Xia Lin, he suddenly felt that his world view had collapsed, and he didn't even care about Xia Lin's aggressive method.

"There is no way. My strength is only enough to save you alone. Drama and the others can only pray for the blessing of the gods."

Xia Lin shook his head. His social circle in the college was very narrow, and Harper was his only friend.

Even if Xia Lin had another share of [-] gold lents, he would not choose to save Drama, unless the value that Drama brought could be more than [-] gold lents.

"..."

Harper struggled for a while. He looked at the three family members beside him. His father was already gray-haired, and he and his younger siblings needed to wear thread.

My younger brother and younger sister are only eight and ten years old, and it will take four or five years to earn money and become self-reliant. Although you can send money back from the northern border, it’s nothing like taking care of them by your family. Thinking of this, Harper Firm up my mind:

"Okay...I promise you, but what do you need to be your assistant?"

"You will know later, now we will sign an employment contract for the assistant, and then go to the northern military garrison to get your contract back and destroy it."

Xia Lin doesn't have any trustworthy people at hand, and he is in the stage of starting a business with many clues. Harper, an assistant who is similar to a graduate student under an unscrupulous mentor, is destined to undertake a lot of complicated affairs.

Therefore, he simply blurred Harper's specific responsibilities, and asked him to do whatever he needed to do.The big deal is to wait until one's own industry develops, and then greatly increase Harper's salary level or give a small dry stock in return.
