Chapter 41 Recruitment

Chapter 41 Talent Recruitment
Inside the inn where the Leachman Adventure Group was staying, Quiller Foster was pestering the group’s crowd, insisting that they grant his request.

“I’ve longed to be an adventurer since I was a child, the world is so big, I want to see it.”

“And then you were tied up in a den of thieves.”

Troupe leader Meru said with a helpless face, she was really defeated by this male child, not going to enjoy a good and privileged life, but going to suffer and suffer. Ever since he knew the name of their adventure group, this eunuch had changed his attitude, and was a far cry from his previous narcissism.

Queller was not relentless and said with little stars in his eyes, “I’ve heard about the legendary experiences of your Leachman Adventure Group. Big sister leader, how about my proposal yesterday? How about letting me join you, from now on, I’ll cover all the expenses of our adventuring group, and I won’t take a penny of the reward I get.”

The temperature inside the room plummeted after the phrase “Big Sister Leader”, only Quellew was the only one who couldn’t feel it at all, still looking at Meru with two little stars in his eyes.

Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen, Dean immediately stepped between the two, “I say, Young Master Foster, the life of an adventurer is not as beautiful as you think. Wind and food, evil bandits and outlaws, poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, these are all things that you often encounter.”

Instead, Young Master Foster became even more enthusiastic as he clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, “This is the life of an adventurer! It’s so exciting.”

“Uh …… actually most of it isn’t very exciting, most of it is just jobs like finding lost kittens and puppies, it’s boring.” Dean had to change directions to dampen his enthusiasm.

Then a hand was on his shoulder and a gust of murderous energy came from behind, “Dean yo! Unruly kittens and puppies need to be taught a lesson when they’re found! Or else they’ll wander off again next time!”

Dean turned his head and whispered, “Hey hey, are you crazy? He’s a nobleman and the son of a solid Marquis’ family.”

“Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Have you forgotten the second commission the Marquis-sama gave us before we left? Let’s discipline this son of his, but I suddenly remembered it.” Only the female headmaster’s knuckles could be heard snapping.

“Hm? What are you guys whispering about? Discussing my initiation into the regiment?” Duke Quiller, oblivious to the impending danger, looked at the two with an expectant face.

“Excuse me, Lord Earl Gleeman has invited Sir Quest to be his guest.”

Just as Dean gave up his efforts and secretly prayed for Quiller, a knock sounded on the door and the attendant outside passed in this sentence.

“Hmph! Count him lucky.” Meru beamed with a resigned face, since this guy had become a guest of the local lord, beating him to a pig’s head would be too much of a disrespect to the lord.

Queller, who didn’t realize that he had just made a turn at the ghost gate, hemmed and hawed, “Excuse me, gentlemen, I’ll go to Lord Gleeman’s place and come back to discuss the matter of joining the troupe. Any conditions are negotiable, you guys think about it.”

After saying that, he opened the door of the house and followed the messenger sent by the lord to leave.

……

Quiller Foster was invited to the shipyard by Paul, “My dear friend!” He enthusiastically had a bear hug with Paul, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart for the young count, after all, he was the one who really saved him from the pirates.

“Sir Foster …….”

Queller immediately put on a disgruntled expression, “It’s too much of a courtesy, just call me Queller in the future.”

“In that case, just call me Paul as well, my friend.”

Paul threw in the towel, although the other party did not have a formal title right now, his old man was a marquis, and was still a powerful figure in the Horned Bay Alliance Convocation.

Quiller was indeed very happy and asked with a smile, “So Paul old brother, is there something that you want to find me at your shipyard? Of course, I’m happy to be invited by a friend.” “Quiller, do you have any plans for the near future? Scheduling of sorts.”

“Oh, I’ve already sent a peace letter to my family, I’m temporarily planning to hang out with you for ten days and half a month to explore the northern scenery, being in a pirate’s lair has suffocated me. After that I plan to go home, it’s not good to let the family worry for too long.”

Paul spread his hands, “Welcome, I hope you’ll treat this place like home. However, I would like you to do me a little favor when you get home.”

The cockney immediately thumped his chest, “By all means, I Quiller Foster have always been two for two when it comes to friends, not to mention that you are my savior.”

Slightly surprised at the current Quiller without the slightest aristocratic behavior, Paul continued: “What do you think of my shipyard? How does it compare to those large shipyards in your south?”

“This well …… hehehe!” Queller smiled and scratched his head, slightly hesitant, “A little bit worse.”

Paul knew that the other party is to save face, this “a little” is probably a little bit of the distance between heaven and earth.

“I have some goods here that I want to sell to the south of you, but I lack ships that can sail the oceans, nowadays the popular oar sailing ships are a little difficult to run too far, can you help me recruit a group of shipbuilding craftsmen when you go back?”

Queller nodded: “This is no problem, tell me how many people you want, I will try to meet your needs in terms of quantity, but the quality is not guaranteed, those skillful shipbuilding masters are treated very well with us, and the employers won’t release them easily.”

“No problem, as long as you have experience in shipbuilding.”

Paul suddenly remembered something and added: “In fact, not only shipbuilding craftsmen, as long as they have a skill, I need all of them here, especially those who are literate and can do arithmetic, later I will give you a list, please try to help me recruit. I’ll reimburse you for the traveling expenses to come over.”

Although it was a bit strange, Quiller agreed to Paul’s request, and then he was led to the front of two new model sailing ships.

“Hmm! These two ships are really unique.” Quiller rubbed his chin as he scrutinized the models in front of him.

Paul asked, “Do you think it’s possible to build such ships with the current technological conditions?”

Quiller replied, “I don’t know much about shipbuilding, but craftsmen in the south have tried all sorts of strange contraptions that can be in the sea.”

Paul was instantly interested, “Oh? What’s all that?”

“For example, big tanks that can dive to the bottom of the sea, and then some kind of perpetual motion ships, your kind of strange ship seems to have been built, but most of them are failures or have no practical value. You know, there are always some idiots who think they’re geniuses and want to get rich overnight by relying on a ridiculous idea that came out of a drunken stupor one day, uh …… sorry, I’m not talking about you.”

Quiller suddenly realized that the maker of the two strange ship models in front of him could be his own little brother, and couldn’t say anything else in embarrassment.

“Haha! There really are all kinds of people in this world! Let them all come to me.” Instead of being amused, the young Earl laughed very happily.

Thank you to “Starry Sky King” and “QB” for their votes.
