Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 82:

After listening to Cambrona’s introduction, Hopps pondered for a while and said: “The civil war of the Gold Coin Federation will only be fought on the border between the North and the South. We are on business trips to areas close to our Republic, and It’s supposed to be a little risky to go to the wilderness."

He really wants to earn the travel subsidy. It is said that since the Gold Coin Federation will find foreign aid, then the geography should have mineral veins. In other words, as long as the exploration team performs normally, it is estimated that a subsidy of five times the salary is indispensable.

As the "big field service" of field work, the salary of exploration workers is relatively high. If you can get five times the salary, it is really high income.

It’s like on the earth. The salaries of prospectors are generally higher. Sui Xiong’s hometown had a neighbor’s child who studied this. He graduated two years earlier than him. When he called and chatted with his family’s elders shortly before he traveled, I just talked about this eldest brother. He now gets a salary of 6,000 per month, which is more than twice that of the warehouse manager Sui Xiong.

Of course, Sui Xiong does not envy that big brother, because he still has an illustrator's income. As a well-mixed illustrator, his income is much higher than that of the library manager. If you compare all the income, , The eldest brother is afraid that it will be possible to be similar to him if he spends the whole year out, dining and sleeping.

However, if the eldest brother goes to extremely difficult and dangerous areas such as the Himalayas or Antarctica, and the income is stronger than him, the field work is done for half a year and half a year, but it is not like he often rushes to the late night. , There is not much rest throughout the year.

The Northwestern Republic's subsidies for exploration field operations are very high, better than those on Earth. This is of course because technical personnel are rare, and the risk of work is greater in this world, but without such good labor security and exploration equipment on earth, it is unlikely that a wizard who is not strong enough will follow. Once something goes wrong, it's really called every day's response, the ground is not working well, and it's commonplace to bury the bones in the wilderness.

Hopes felt that he didn't seem to worry too much about the risks now. He is alone now, and the whole family is not hungry. It doesn’t matter if he died outside. Anyway, his parents and relatives had already considered him dead when he left home alone. The same is true for him. already dead. If it hadn't been a mistake in the first place and said his surname, he had planned to forget even the surname.

For him now, the most important thing is to save money. Save money to buy a house, then get married and start a family, and have children.

The former family has nothing to do with him. He wants to start his own family, a family of workers that has relied on technology for generations.

So even if there is a risk of war, he still wants to do that job.

After listening to his question, Cambrona and Jane looked at each other and fell silent.

After a while, Jane said, "If you are not afraid of risks, this is a good job. But the risk of this thing is not as low as you think."

Hopps was taken aback and looked at her nervously.

"I just thought about it. If I am a member of the aristocratic faction. The merchant faction is fighting with me, and they are cooperating with the Northwestern Republic again, so what should I do? Of course, I will confuse this cooperation. . The easiest way is to send someone to kill all the people sent by the Northwest Republic. No matter what the Northwest Republic thinks, people die on the territory of the merchant faction, and the merchant faction always has to give an explanation. If you can't explain it, your relationship will definitely be affected." Jane narrated her speculation in a calm tone, but Hops gradually oozes cold sweat behind her back.

"Well, is it that serious?" Because of nervousness and worry, he even stuttered a bit.

"Maybe not, but estimate things from the worst direction." Jane shook her head and said calmly, "After all, if the estimate is wrong, you may be dead."

Hopes was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"It seems that this work is still not done, and it is more practical to do it safely."

"It's not necessarily. You need wealth and danger." Cambrona suddenly said, "People in the world will always encounter various risks. So the risk is not terrible, the terrible thing is to take risks without not having them. Reward. Although the risks of your work this time are great, every risk is rewarded. Assuming that the nobles’ assassins attacked you, then as long as you can survive the attack, the merchants will inevitably give you a big deal. A sum of money is used as compensation."

"But how can I survive the assassination of a professional killer" Hopps asked with a wry smile, "My skills are limited, and I can be regarded as a novice adventurer by the heavens."

"I believe the government will arrange adequate protection for you." Cambrona said, "The big figures have no reason to think of things that we can think of. Since they want to cooperate with the merchants, it is impossible to let them You are dead over there. At that time, it is very likely that you will have two groups of light and dark people to protect you, and the protection will be very strong."

Jane’s view is contrary to her husband’s: “However, as we can think of, the leaders of the aristocratic faction can also think of. Since they have sent assassins, they will definitely ensure that these assassins have sufficient destructive power. Even in the face of light and dark. Group bodyguards can also kill some people. Hopes may be in this group of people."

Hopps was embarrassed by what they said, his eyebrows frowned and he couldn't make up his mind.

After dinner, he returned to his dormitory, lying in bed, still thinking.

Whether to go or not?

If you go, the benefits are great, and the risks are great. But as Brother Cambrona said, the income is worth the risk. To be honest, for the great benefit, even life-threatening is worth the risk.

However, he shuddered at the thought of "life in danger".

Death or something, it's terrible

Although in the daytime, he thought about "death is nothing terrible" more than once. But in the dead of night, he was lying alone on the bed, thinking that he might die in the Gold Coin Federation, he couldn't help shaking.

Horrible and terrible

"You are really worthless," he said to himself, "I have already thought about it, I don't need to be afraid, and I obviously feel that it doesn't matter if I die, but why are you afraid again?"

This kind of contradictory mentality is actually related to his blood. He has half of the fox blood and half of the rabbit blood. The fox is a very cunning and fierce group of orcs, although he usually loves to use wisdom and Conspiracy to solve the problem~IndoMTL.com~ But when necessary, they are not in the slightest danger, and there is no fear when they are added to the sword; the rabbit clan is completely cartilage, let alone facing the sword, even if it is just a threat, they can make them leg. Soft feet.

Hopes has the blood of both races. During the day, the ferocity of the fox family prevails in his nature, but when the night is quiet and a person is lying alone on the bed, his nature belongs to the rabbit family. Cowardice emerged.

After a long time, he slowly calmed down, sighed deeply, and fell asleep.

He had a lot of nightmares that night. He dreamed that he was at risk during exploration, and he died of earthquakes, landslides, cliffs, or attacks by monsters in the wild; he dreamed that he had no accidents during exploration, but Was assassinated by the gold coin federation nobles; just didn't dream of everything going well.

But the next day, when he was walking on the street and in the crowd, the brave side of nature had the upper hand again.

"Brother Cambrona was right, he always takes some risks when he is alive" he convinced himself.

So, with the transfer order and simple luggage, he went to the city hall to collect the travel expenses, and then boarded the bus and carriage to Pyroxburgh.
