"Puuu~"

The thin boy knelt on his knees in front of Zhou Ming.

"Great sir, I...I think you should need a servant around you, so I...I followed."

“Oh~”

Zhou Ming's expression calmed down a little, took back the brewing magic, looked at him twice and asked, "What's your name?"

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

"Do you follow me and want to be my servant?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"Yes, I can do a lot of things for you!"

Henry said loudly, his eyes full of hope, servants of the magicians, positions that many people dream of, and opportunities for people at the bottom to change their destiny, but few people can seize this opportunity and can only envy those lucky darlings from some legendary stories.

But today, through his own observation, Henry took this step to change his destiny and saw the flame of hope.

“I don’t need it.”

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

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

Zhou Ming added another sentence that made Henry, who was in despair, tremble all over immediately excitedly.

He immediately said, "I know, I know! My father used to be an accountant at Combas Hotel. He taught me to write a lot of words! I can read and write!"

"Are you sure? Do you know what the end of cheating the magician?"

Zhou Ming frowned and said, "The common words in the human world are elves that have been passed down for tens of millions of years." Although they have been simplified and improved many times, it is still extremely difficult to learn and write, and it requires a lot of energy to study."

In addition, it is the pronunciation of the Elf Text. In addition to the conventional pronunciation, magicians must also learn the pure Elf Text pronunciation so that they can smoothly release magic... The pronunciation of the Elf Text and the pronunciation used by humans can be said to be two ways of pronunciation.

This has led to a very high illiteracy rate in the human world. Anyone who can read and write elf texts fluently is the middle class with a higher income.

The thin boy in front of him said that he could read and write, but Zhou Ming was skeptical.

"Really, I really know how to read and write! I'll write it for you now!"

The boy searched everywhere, found a piece of dead branches from the corner of the wall, moved forward a few steps, and wrote and painted on the stone floor with the dead branches in front of Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming glanced and found that what the boy wrote was indeed a bit like an elf text.

He seems to be really literate.

"Okay, okay, don't write anymore. Three days later, I'll wait for me at the East Street intersection of Hongmopan Street. Then I'll give you an interview and a written test. If your performance passes, I can consider letting you be my assistant."

Zhou Ming said that there is a medium- and high-end apartment building on Red Mopan Street. Zhou Ming bought a three-story independent villa there. The interior is well decorated and the furniture is complete. The total construction area is more than 300 square meters. There is a small garden of 50 square meters in front and back, and the price is only 2,000 gold coins... It can be said that he is quite conscientious.

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

He doesn't mind accepting one or two assistants, but the premise is that the other party must have enough talent.

However, the cleverness of this boy named "Henry" made his eyes lit up. If he really knew how to read, Zhou Ming would accept him.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

The boy was ecstatic and kept bent down and bowing.

"You go back first and prepare for the interview three days later. If your performance does not meet the standards, I will not want you."

Zhou Ming said with a serious face.

"Yes! Thank you sir, I'll go back right away!"

The boy got up from the ground, finally bowed, turned around and ran towards his home with ecstasy.

Zhou Ming shook his head.

...

West of the city.

In a dilapidated slum community.

In a low and dirty single-room house.

"Bang~" sounded.

The door was almost smashed to pieces.

The woman who was sewing inside the house was shocked!

"Sister, sister, I met a noble person, I met a noble person, I can change our lives soon!"

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

"Negotiable? What kind of noble person?"

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

Henry immediately told his sister what he encountered this afternoon.

My sister's eyes widened wider and her thin body was trembling slightly, and tears of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she asked repeatedly: "Henry, is it true, is this true?"

"It's true! It's true!"

Henry said loudly.

"That's great! That's great!"

Lina hugged her brother, and tears burst out from her eyes.

Since my father's death, I really don't know how the siblings survived in the past few years?

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

But a huge disaster came to this family without warning.

The root of everything lies in my mother, the woman who looks beautiful and has a scorpion-like heart.

Their mother was born into a noble family, a nobleman with a poor family. The father was able to marry his mother because he was purely his mother's father. He owed his father a debt that he could not repay, so he had to marry his daughter to his father.

My father really likes his mother. After marriage, he does his best to meet all his material needs, so that she can have no worries about food and clothing, and become the happiest woman in the world.

Even so, my mother still looked down on her father, who was a civilian, and she still hooked up with a baron through a high-end dance party.

The baron was the boss behind Combasse Hotel - his father's immediate boss.

In the end, my father died because he attacked the nobles and was killed by the other party several times. Lina knew that her father was furious because she encountered her mother and the baron. She wanted to beat the baron in anger, but she did not expect that the other party was an intermediate swordsman who could fight.

After his father died, his mother took away all his property and married the baron. At that time, he and his younger brother, who were only 10 and 8 years old, could only fall into the streets.

In a blink of an eye, 6 years have passed.

In the past six years, Lina has not known how she survived, but she has not relaxed in her younger brother's education for a moment.

What my father taught them to the siblings since childhood was useful. She learned cooking, female red and aristocratic etiquette, and her younger brother learned writing and accounting. These two sets of skills can only be learned at home, and they can live a middle-class life.

However, life in the slums is extremely difficult. The money earned by washing and sewing clothes for people every day is only enough for two people to eat.

Henry helped to help outsiders guide and act as a guide. In addition, he was smart and smart, and sometimes he could earn more than ten days of income in a day.

This further strengthened Lina's idea of ​​cultivating her younger brother into a talent. As long as she had some spare money, she would buy books for her younger brother and urge him to study, and never let him get along with those all kinds of people.

Now it seems that his younger brother Henry is finally going to have a future.

Assistant of the Magician, this has a brighter prospect than the work my father is doing!

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

However, she was only excited for a while, then pushed Henry away and said to him with a stern face:

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

"Well, I know sister!"

Henry nodded, held up a book sensibly, and read it extremely seriously.

Lina smiled with relief.

...

On the other end of the slum.

In a dilapidated building.

The location of the Blood Axe Gang.

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

"Boss Rick, I went to Lina this morning to talk to her and introduced her to work at the 'Little Sweetheart Tavern' and said she could earn at least 5 gold coins a month, but she still said she wouldn't go. This is the third time she has rejected me!"

"Andry, why are you so concerned about Lina? She is not as thin as a few bits of meat. Do customers don't like her like this?" said a tattooed strong man next to him.

"Yes Andry, I heard that you like the thin-skinned girl in the woods, but this is your taste, and the customers of the 'Little Sweetheart Tavern' don't like it." Another laughed.

"You idiots! You don't know how great a woman's potential is. Do you know who Lina's mother is? 'Rose of the King's Capital' Belemmona, I heard that three men had fallen under her skirt. Her husband, from a civilian, a baron, a viscount, and now an earl, had climbed to the peak of her life step by step with her beauty. It is said that her next goal is His Royal Highness Luther, who also wanted to become His Royal Highness and the Queen!"

"Although I don't know whether this is true or not, Belemmona has become an idol of many prostitutes."

"Lina is Belemmona's biological daughter. Her appearance will never be bad. As long as we get her, we can serve her delicious food and drink for a few days, grow her white flesh, and then let the madam teach her some tricks to serve men... She will definitely be the top brand of the 'Little Sweetheart Tavern'!"

"And, she is still a virgin. Her first time, if she is on an auction, there will definitely be a noble person who is willing to take out a lot of gold coins to buy it. This money is enough to make back the money we invested!"

"Boss Rick, let's do this, tie Lina up! After a few meals and drinks, she will definitely agree to work and will definitely become our Blood Axe Gang Money Tree!"

Andri said with a gleam in his eyes that he not only saw a way of wealth, but also wanted to have a job after Lina became the top player in the "Little Sweetheart Tavern"!

When I thought of this, Andri's lips were dry and his lower body couldn't help but feel hot.

“This is a good idea.”

There was a scar on his forehead, a complicated tattoo on his chest, and the boss Rick with a big fat nanny lit up. His eyes lit up. He thought Andri had a good idea.

“This vote is OK.”
