"Punch ~"

The thin boy kneeled down in front of Zhou Ming.

"Dear Sir, I ... I think you need a servant by your side, so I ... I followed."

"Oh ~"

Zhou Ming's expression eased slightly, and he recovered the brewing magic, looked at him twice and asked, "What's your name?"

The boy's face was overjoyed: "Henry, Henry Max, you can call me Henry!"

"You follow me, do you want to be my servant?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"Yes, I can help you do many, many things!"

Henry said loudly that his eyes were full of hope, the servant of the magician, how many people dreamed of positions, how many people at the bottom had the opportunity to change their destiny, but few people could seize this opportunity, only from some legendary stories, envy Those lucky darlings.

But today, through his own observation, Henry dared to take this step that changed his own destiny and saw the flame of hope.

"I do not need."

Zhou Ming's faint words instantly hit Henry into the ice cave.

"I don't need a servant. I need an assistant who can read and write. Do you know words?"

Zhou Ming added a sentence that made Henry, who was in despair, tremble with excitement.

He immediately said: "I know, I know! My father used to be an accountant at the Camps Hotel. He taught me to write many, many words! I can read and write!"

"Are you sure? Do you know what it's like to deceive the magician?"

Zhou Ming frowned and said that the universal text in the human world is a fairy tale that has been circulating for tens of millions of years. Although it has been simplified and improved many times, it is still very difficult to learn and write, and it takes a lot of energy to learn.

In addition, it is the pronunciation of the Elven. In addition to the regular pronunciation, the magician must also learn the pure Elven pronunciation, so as to release the magic smoothly ... And the Elven pronunciation, and the pronunciation used by humans, can be said to be two reading methods.

This has led to a very high rate of illiteracy in the human world. Anyone who can read and write elves in a smooth manner is a middle-income group with higher income.

The thin young man in front of him said that he could read and write, and Zhou Ming doubted it.

"Really, I really can read and write! I will write it for you!"

The young man looked around and looked around. He found a dry branch from the corner of the wall and moved a few steps forward. In front of Zhou Ming, he used the dry branch to write and paint on the stone floor.

Zhou Ming glanced at his eyes, and found that what the boy wrote was indeed a bit like an elven script.

He seems really literate.

"Okay, don't write anymore. Three days later, go to Dongjiekou of Hongmopan Street and wait for me. Then I will give you an interview and a written test. If your performance passes, I may consider letting you do mine. assistant."

Zhou Ming said that there is a middle-to-high-end apartment building on Hongmopan Street. Zhou Ming bought a three-storey independent villa with complete interior decoration and complete furniture. The total construction area is more than 300 square meters. The price is only 2,000 gold coins ... It can be said that it is quite conscience.

Of course, Zhou Ming did not tell the thin young man the specific house number. He understood the psychology of these bottom-level people who were eager to change their destiny, but he did not want to be harassed by various people in the future because of his temporary kindness.

He doesn't mind taking one or two assistants, but only if the other party has enough talent.

However, this clever boy named "Henry" brightened his eyes. If he really literate, Zhou Ming would accept him.

"Thank you, sir!"

The teenager was ecstatic, bowing and bowing.

"Go back first and prepare for the interview three days later. If your performance is not up to standard, I won't want you."

Zhou Ming said solemnly.

"Yes! Thank you sir, I will go back immediately!"

The teenager climbed up from the ground and finally bowed, ecstatically, turned and ran away in the direction of his home.

Zhou Ming shook his head.

...

West of the city.

In a rundown slum area.

In a low and messy single room house.

"Boom ~"

The door was almost smashed.

The woman who was mending in the house was startled!

"Sister, sister, I have met nobles, I have met nobles, and I can change our lives soon!"

As soon as Henry entered the house, he was very excited.

"Noble? What noble?"

The woman's red and swollen hands stopped working and looked at her brother.

Henry immediately told the elder sister what happened this afternoon.

As my sister's eyes widened, her thin body shook slightly, tears flashing in her eyes, and she repeatedly asked, "Henry, really, is this true?"

"Really! Really!"

Henry said loudly.

"Great! Great!"

Lina hugged her younger brother and burst into tears.

Since the father's death, in the past few years, their sisters and brothers, I do not know how they survived?

In fact, their family background was not bad. Their father's income was enough for a family of four to live a well-off life. They even hired a servant to help them with their housework.

But a great disaster came to this family without warning.

The root of everything still came from her mother, the woman with a beautiful face and a heart like a viper.

Their mother was born into a noble family, a noble family, whose father could marry his mother, who was purely the mother ’s father, and owed him an unrepayable debt. He had to marry his daughter to his father.

And the father really likes his mother. After marriage, he does everything he can to meet all the material needs of the mother, so that she can worry about food and clothing and become the happiest woman in the world.

Even so, the mother still disregarded the father as a civilian, and she hooked up with a baron through an upper dance.

The baron is the boss behind the Camps Hotel-his father's boss.

In the end, the father died because he attacked the nobleman and was killed by the other party-Lina knew that the father was hit by the mother and the baron. Grievous intermediate swordsman.

After the father's death, the mother took all the property and then married the baron, who was only 10 and 8 years old and his brother at the time, and could only fall to the streets.

In a blink of an eye, six years have passed.

In the past 6 years, Lina did not know how to get through, but she did not relax for a moment in the education of her brother.

What her father taught them to her sisters and brothers is useful. She learned cooking, female celebrities and aristocratic etiquette, and her brother learned writing and accounting. These two sets of skills can only be learned at home, and they can all go to middle class life.

However, the life in the slums is extremely difficult. The daily income of washing and mending clothes is only enough for two people.

Henry helped to do the work of guiding outsiders and doing guidance, and with his cleverness and cleverness, sometimes she could earn more than ten days of income a day.

This further strengthened Lina's idea of ​​cultivating her brother into a talent. As long as she had a little free money in her hand, she would buy books for her brother, urge him to learn, and never let him be mixed with those three teachings and nine streams.

Now it seems that his brother Henry is finally going to pay off.

Magician's assistant, this has brighter prospects than his father's work!

At this moment, Lina wept with joy, her heart full of relaxation.

However, she was only a little excited, then pushed away Henry and said to him with a straight face:

"Henry, don't go out to work these days, read your books at home, and you must pass the written examination and interview of the magician!"

"Well, I know sister!"

Henry nodded, took a book thoughtfully, and looked at it very seriously.

Lina smiled comfortably.

...

The other side of the slums.

Inside a rundown building.

The location of the Blood Axe Gang.

On the old sofa and soft chair, several gang members are having a meeting.

"Boss Rick, I went to talk to Lina this morning and introduced her to work in the" Little Sweetheart Tavern ", saying that she can earn at least 5 gold coins a month, but she still said no, this is the third time she refused I am! "

"Andre, why are you so affectionate with Lina? She doesn't even have a few flesh. Will the customers like her?" Said the strong man next to him.

"Yeah, Andrei, I heard that your kid likes to be a slim girl, but this is your taste. The customers of" Little Sweetheart Pub "don't like it." Another sneered.

"You idiots! I don't know how great a woman's potential is. Do you know who Lina's mother is?" Wangdu Rose "Belem Mona, I heard that three men have fallen under her skirt, her Husbands from civilians, barons, viscounts, and now the earl, she used her beauty to climb the peak of life step by step. It is said that her next goal is His Royal Highness Prince Luther, she also wants to be the Princess of Prince, and finally Her Royal Highness ! "

"Although this matter is not known to be true or false, Belem Mona has become the idol of many prostitutes."

"Lina is the biological daughter of Belle Mengna. Her appearance will never be worse. As long as we get her hands, we will eat and drink for a few days, grow the white flesh, and let the old bustard teach her Some coups for serving men ... She will definitely be the first card of the 'Little Sweetheart Pub'! "

"And ~ www.readwn.com ~ She is still a virgin. For the first time, if she conducts an auction, there will definitely be nobles willing to take out a lot of gold coins to buy, and this money is enough to earn back the money we invested! "

"Boss Rick, let's take this vote and tie Lina directly! After a few more meals and entertainment, she will definitely agree to work and will surely become our blood axe to help us!"

Andri said in his eyes that he not only saw a fortune, but when Lina became the "Little Sweetheart Tavern", he also had to go for it!

At the thought of this, Andrea's lips were dry, and his lower body could not help heating up.

"This is a good idea."

There is a scar on his forehead, a complex tattoo on his chest, and the big brother Rick, who is very big, and his eyes light up. He thinks Andri ’s idea is very good.

"This vote can be done."

Others nodded one after another, with evil smiles on their lips.
