What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 79 Missing People
"Cooking?"

Jennifer wondered: "I can make lemon cake, black pudding, and I know a little about wine making... Is this important?"

"As long as you have an irresistible heart towards cooking." Colin said with a smile, "Maybe I can introduce you to a high-level magician and ask her to take you as an apprentice. Will it solve your problem?"

"Of course." Jennifer blurted out, and then asked a little uncertainly: "Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"

High-level magicians are already considered top talents, and there are few unknown ones, and those like Donald Gall from the Hall School of Magic are already considered relatively poor.

"I don't know the full name, but we've always called her Mrs. Muller."

Jennifer was stunned for a moment. She thought she could name most of the high-level magicians in Thunder City, but she didn't know anything about this name.

Colin immediately explained: "She is the chef in the teacher's mage's tower."

Everyone is silent.

Annie murmured, "What a waste..."

Jennifer was stunned for a while before realizing that it was not a joke, and said with hesitation: "Colin, of course I wish for it, but will this cause you trouble?"

"rest assured."

Colin understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "I have a very good relationship with Mrs. Muller. I will ask you when I get back."

"Thank you then."

"Cheers to Jennifer's future." Roy suggested in a timely manner.

"We drank coffee." Jennifer said.

"Same, done."

The four drank it all in one gulp.

Colin put down his coffee cup, turned around and asked, "Annie, how is your charcoal business doing?"

"Well, before the New Year is the best time. Everyone will try their best to raise some money. There has always been a saying in the old city that people who die on New Year's Day will have their souls swallowed by demons."

"Do you believe it too?"

"Of course I know it's false. Demons belong to a special type of monsters that use pollution to reproduce and can be bound by contracts. This is taught in the academy...but other people don't care about it. People who know magic in the old city can have How many?"

Annie sighed: "Speaking of this, I have to go back early later, the evening is the best time for business."

Colin thought for a while and asked, "Are there many orphans in the old town?"

"Well, especially after the New Year, when everyone's last bit of money is used up, and parents leave their clothes to their children, there are many cases where they froze to death." Annie said.

After listening, Ke Lin said: "My side... has a cooperation with a chamber of commerce, hoping to recruit a group of orphans or homeless people of the right age."

"What are you going to do?" Annie wondered.

"To put it simply, it is to teach them some skills and work for the Chamber of Commerce in the future." Colin can only pretend that the Chamber of Commerce needs it, otherwise he can't explain why he needs so many orphans as a junior magician?
"Is there such a good thing?" Annie was taken aback.

"of course."

"If it's you, I believe it." Annie said.

"Anyone else doing the same thing?" Colin wondered.

"Well." Annie said: "In the past, nobles often came to the old city to adopt orphans, but they only wanted girls and handsome boys."

Although Annie knew that there was definitely something bad going on, she didn't know the details after all, while Jennifer was the daughter of a serious baron, and she had heard about the hobbies of some powerful people, so her expression was very bad for a while.

"There is no distinction between men and women and looks on my side. Boys are better."

"Do you need me to help you find such a person?"

"if convenient."

"I do know some, but how many people do you need in total?"

"It's best to be between the ages of 12 and 18, and look for 500 people first."

"So much?" Annie asked in surprise.

"Aren't there so many people?"

"Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of poor people in the old city, and more than that die every day, but I can't find any of them." Annie wondered.

Colin also felt that he had taken it for granted. There must be many people who met his conditions in the old city, but it was not an easy task to find them one by one and send them to the designated place.He can't put up notices, it's too attracting attention, if tens of thousands of people come, it will be a lot of fun.

According to the teacher, except for the elite 2000 fortress defenders, Xia Ya is basically paralyzed in other aspects, waiting to be done.

I mean that I have to take over a lot of mess in the past.

In other respects, he is more or less confident, but there is no one, especially no suitable talents, so what should we do?You can't build a house, you have to do it yourself.

Although Xia Ya also has a certain number of people locally, if you think about it, even a big capital city like Thunder City is starving everywhere. What kind of talents can there be in such a place?
What's more, Ke Lin didn't just want craftsmen.

While there is still a year left, it may be the best way to cultivate some useful people and take them with them.

I don't know if His Majesty the King can give some support.

At least the expenses of these people should be reimbursed.

He collected his thoughts, thinking about solving the difficulties in front of him in this way.

"Colin." Jennifer said suddenly: "If you don't worry, maybe I can help you."

"Are you sure you can adapt to the place in the old city?" Colin asked.

"If you don't get used to it, you get used to it long ago. I even helped Annie see the ice water shop for two days." Jennifer said.

Annie nodded in agreement.

Jennifer said again: "And I heard what you said just now, this matter is actually not difficult."

"Oh?"

"Just find a few people first and let them help you find other people. The cost of running errands in the old city is only a few copper plants." Jennifer said.

"Jennifer." Colin smiled and said, "If you can't find anything else to do for the time being, maybe I can leave this matter to you, including the management of these people in the future."

Jennifer thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem, but where do you need to send them?"

"I have a manor outside the city. It should be able to accommodate many people. I will ask someone to take you to see it tomorrow."

When Colin said this, he lacked confidence. Since accepting the two properties given by Phinya, he has never visited them once. However, since it is called a manor, it will not be small. It should be a few hundred people staying temporarily. Not a problem.

"Okay." Jennifer nodded.

"Don't worry about Jennifer, I will pay your salary. By the way, how much does the etiquette teacher named Akaris you mentioned earlier earn every month?"

"This... I'm not very clear about that kind of work, and the income is not stable."

"5 gold Lang a month, do you think it's okay?"

Ke Lin thought that the magic consultant of the Public Security Department he was working for was only 2 gold lang a month. This salary should not be low. Of course, some of it was a friendship price. Source of income.

"Too much……"

"This matter is very important to me, so please take care of it." Colin said seriously.

Jennifer hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Colin."
