Chapter 75, Chapter 76
It was already early summer, and when Xie Feng and the two escaped from the Kale family's mansion, the sky was already slightly bright.
Because Janas had to go to "work" later, Xie Feng explained some matters to Janas, then let him go home to rest, and gave him 10 dinars before leaving.
After sending Janas away, Xie Feng returned to the hotel and fell asleep.
It was approaching noon, and Xie Feng's energy had almost recovered. Although he still wanted to stay in bed, he still had to do business. After a hasty lunch at the hotel, Xie Feng went to meet Janas.
Beside the river near Janas' house, Xie Feng found Janas who had been waiting under the shade of a tree for a long time. Xie Feng approached, threw a piece of fresh bread towards Janas, and asked, "Have you heard anything about it?"
What?"
Janas took the bread, took a few bites hungrily, and said vaguely with a mouth full of crumbs: "You can say yes or no."
Xie Feng said: "What do you mean?"
Janas said: "Today at the meeting point, the person who was suspected to be the Kale family that I saw last time came again."
Xie Feng asked: "What is he here for?"
Janas said: "I'm not sure. After the man came, Uncle Tom sent me out again. Later, I lay near the window and listened carefully, but I only heard 'small street', 'flax', 'moving'
', 'fungus' and other words."
Xie Feng's eyes widened and he asked: "What? 'Small street', 'flax', 'moving', 'fungus'? What is it? Go to a small street to steal some flax and fungus, and then move?"
Janas threw the remaining piece of bread into his mouth and after chewing it said: "How do I know? Anyway, this is what I heard."
Xie Feng thought for a while, and it was very difficult to just guess the meaning of these words, so he asked instead: "Then do you know if your Uncle Tom has any 'big deals' to do recently? Especially about the Kale family.
of?"
Janas said: "I don't know about this. Generally, if there is a 'big deal', we are notified just before we go out, and we all do relatively simple things with low technical content, so we can master them."
Not much information."
Xie Feng kept mumbling about "small street", "flax", "moving", and "fungus", but couldn't figure out what it meant. So he said to Janas: "If you have any more information, please inform me in time."
.Remember, we will do everything possible to collect evidence. As long as the Kale family falls, we will have a chance to rescue Mr. Yi An." Thinking of the Yi An who had seen last night with his legs disabled and suffering inhuman torture, Xie Feng
Clenched his fists.
Janas nodded and said: "Don't worry, I also want to get out of this fearful life as soon as possible. As long as I have information, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible."
Xie Feng also nodded and rewarded Janas with two copper coins. Janas got the money and left happily.
Janas left, and Xie Feng walked alone on the street.
Janas could rely on his position to gather information, but what could he do? Just waiting was not an option, he had to find a way to do something. So, he strolled all the way to the door of the Kale family's mansion.
During the day, the Kale family mansion looks even more magnificent. The size of the door alone can be compared with the entire home of ordinary people. The noble flag hanging at the door is already a little yellowed. It seems that this flag has not been used for a long time.
Updated.
On the continent of Calradia, the flag of the nobles can be hereditary. A father can inherit or use his grandfather's flag, and his son can also inherit or use his father's flag. Of course, if someone in the nobles is strong enough and can get
If everyone agrees, you can create a flag of your own. When a descendant of a nobleman thinks that his influence has exceeded the influence of the status given to him by his family, he will consider creating a flag of his own. Because the flag
, said to represent the entire family, in fact it only represents the founder of the family flag. Therefore, in order to prove her strength, Kristina created a flag with gold flowers on a blue background on her own without relying on her father's influence.
It is not the flag of King Ragnar with black birds on a blue background. Therefore, when the flag with gold flowers on a blue background is raised, everyone thinks of the heroic Lord Kristina, not the apple of King Ragnar's eye.
Princess Christina.
The flag now hanging above the gate of the Kale family's mansion was created by the owner of the Kale family at least three generations ago. In other words, among these three or four generations, there has not been anyone who can compete with the ancestors.
A person of influence - even though the influence of this ancestor has become smaller and smaller over the years.
Xie Feng couldn't help but shook his head. Even though this family was so glorious in the past, it has been content with the status quo and rested on the legacy left by its ancestors. I believe it will soon be eliminated.
At this time, bursts of noisy sounds came from inside the gate. What was it?
Xie Feng stepped forward and smiled at the guard guarding the door: "Brother, is the Kale family holding a banquet today? Why is it so lively?" The guard guarding the door had no expression on his face and looked at a picture posted on the wall not far from the door.
The announcement pointed to it and said: "See for yourself."
Xie Feng walked to the announcement and looked at it. He saw that the announcement simply said: "The Kalie family has recently recruited several guards. If you are interested, please come to the house to sign up."
It turned out to be a recruitment of guards, no wonder it was so lively, the selection was probably going on inside now. Xie Feng was just about to leave, but suddenly thought: Is there any more convenient way to inquire about information than directly sneaking into the enemy? Thinking of this, Xie Feng secretly
He grinned, returned to the gate, and said to the guard guarding the door: "Brother, I'm just looking for a job. I'm a good fighter, so I should be fine as a guard."
The guard glanced at Xie Feng and found that his body was quite strong, and then said: "Then come with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the door without looking back. Xie Feng immediately followed him. Xie Feng followed the guards into the gate of the mansion. The first thing he came to was a large open space.
A few people stood in line, chatting with each other, and at the end of the line was an old man sitting in charge of registration.
At the guard's signal, Xie Feng came to the end of the line and lined up. Soon one or two more people entered the gate and lined up behind him under the guard's instruction.
Soon, Xie Feng followed the team and came to the old man in charge of registration.
The old man raised his head, glanced at Xie Feng, and asked, "What's your name?"
Xie Feng thought for a moment and said, "Feng Xie." Although no one knew him, he was always here to be an undercover agent, so it would be better not to use his real name.
The old man dipped some ink into the quill pen in his hand and recorded it in the notebook. After recording, he said to Xie Feng: "Your code name is Group No. 1."
Damn, 1! Such an unlucky number, you are B, your whole family is B.
After Xie Feng cursed a few words in his mind, at the old man's signal, he followed the previous person and came to another queue to queue up. At the end of this queue was a small house. After asking, he had already left the house.
The people who came out learned that there were several examiners inside, asking various candidates some questions - similar to the interviews in Xie Feng's own original world - not many people in this era knew how to read, so there was no such thing as a written test.
Interviewed directly.
Soon, it was Xie Feng's turn to enter the house for an interview. Xie Feng had already learned some theoretical knowledge about guarding in the training ground. So when he answered it, the examiners nodded with satisfaction. Of course, regarding the question about his life experience, Xie Feng
Naturally, it is a mixture of truth and falsehood. I was born in the Kingdom of Nord, and my father was a veteran who taught me fighting skills. As an adult, I worked hard everywhere until I saw the recruitment notice of the Kale family in Zivadin today.
After successfully passing the literary test, the next step is the martial arts test.
Not surprisingly, with his excellent martial arts, Xie Feng won the first place in the martial arts test.
The director in charge of recruitment - Callie White, the eldest son of the Callie family (Author's note: For the convenience of reading, in accordance with Chinese custom, the last name is listed before the first name. Except for the characters in the custom battle in the game), he is very satisfied.
, announced the hiring of Xie Feng on the spot - of course, in White's eyes, this young man's name was Feng Xie.
After taking an oath of allegiance with several others in front of White, Xie Feng officially became a guard of the Calle family. Yes, it was an oath. There is no such thing as a labor contract in this era, and the only thing that can guarantee integrity is an oath.
.Employees swear allegiance to their employers, and employers swear to their employees to protect their rights.
After the entire recruitment process was over, the sun had already set. Xie Feng was arranged to a collective dormitory. Since the status of the guards was higher than that of ordinary servants, the dormitory environment was relatively comfortable.
Dinner is served uniformly in the cafeteria, and the food is uniform without class distinctions.
In the cafeteria, Xie Feng met the cheating kitchen worker he met last night. The two looked at each other, smiled like sex, and then immersed themselves in eating.
After dinner, Xie Feng looked at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, so he made an excuse and left the Kaleb Mansion to meet up with Janas.
We came to the place where we met Janas again at noon. By this time, Janas was already waiting by the river.
"Is there any new news?" Xie Feng approached and asked softly.
Janas turned around, his face uncertain, and said, "Maybe."
Xie Feng said: "What's going on?"
Janas said: "In the evening at the meeting point, Uncle Tom gathered most of our companions, told us that there would be a big deal tomorrow morning, and assigned us work."
Xie Feng said: "What big deal?"
Janas shook his head and said: "Generally, we won't know what a big deal is until it ends. Whether it is robbery, kidnapping, or large-scale theft, we won't know - maybe it's because we are worried
Someone will leak the news."
Xie Feng said: "Then what does he want you to do?"
Janas said: "Tomorrow morning, a few companions and I will sneak into the backyard of the church, light a fire, and create as much chaos as possible. Then the others will lie in ambush on several streets, waiting for someone.
After the signal is sent out, then create chaos."
Xie Feng thought that to create chaos, basically no matter what kind of "big deal" they need to do, it is difficult to guess what they are going to do. But if it is a church, what "big deal" can be done? Is there anything hidden in the church?
I bought a lot of flax and fungus. Are they going to snatch them out?
Xie Feng shook his head and gave up this funny idea. But he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.
Since this is the only information we have, we can only wait until tomorrow. Maybe we can go back and find out if there is any news about the Kale family.
He took out two more dinars and sent Janas back, and Xie Feng returned to the Kale Mansion.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, a man who claimed to be the guard captain came and explained the daily work content to the new guards. After the explanation, the guard captain said to everyone: "That's it for the explanation. Remember it tomorrow morning.
Go to work on time, don’t be late, and you’ll get your uniforms tomorrow. Also – who of you is called Feng Xie?”
Xie Feng didn't realize that this new name was calling him. When the captain called him, Xie Feng suddenly realized and stood up. The guard captain glanced at Xie Feng and said, "Follow me."
Xie Feng followed the guard captain out of the dormitory with questions on his head and came to a quiet open space. The guard captain said: "It is said that you were the best performer at today's job fair." Xie Feng smiled and said: "
It seems so."
The captain of the guard said: "Mr. White values you very much. You don't have to go to work with others tomorrow. There is a task for you. Originally, these things are not your turn to do as newcomers, but once you come to the house,
We’re short of people—otherwise we wouldn’t be recruiting guards. Secondly, your ability has been recognized by the Calle family. So I hope you won’t disappoint the Calle family.”
Xie Feng's heart was agitated. There is something exciting! Could it be about the "big deal" that Janas mentioned tomorrow? He said quickly: "I, Feng Xie, am grateful to be recognized! I will definitely do my best to complete the task!"
Chapter completed!
