Volume 6 Chapter 94 - Aid (1/2)

After entering November, even if the Rudson Kingdom was in the south of the Sines Continent, its weather couldn’t help turning colder.

The cold wind came from the north and mixed with the sea breeze, it created a piercing chill in the air. It made people of Nissi City near the harbour couldn’t help shivering.

Roddick had just come out of a store and looked at several people shrinking back in rags across the street. He couldn’t help shaking his head as he gave a sigh.

“Is the Candra Empire’s blockade of the Rudson Kingdom that serious? There are even more beggars than usual in Nissi City.”

His companion Scope looked at these people and gave a laugh before curling his lips in disdain.

“They are just lazy people. Although the Rudson Kingdom can’t compare to our Lampuri Kingdom or the Stantine Duchy when it comes to jobs, it’s still much better than before, alright? Not mentioning anything else, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce has more than ten factories in the Rudson Kingdom. If these people weren’t lazy, how couldn’t they not find work?”

“That isn’t certain.” Roddick didn’t agree with Scope’s views, “The Rudson Kingdom has been blocked by the Candra Empire and the other kingdoms, so they can’t sell their goods. I’ve heard our company’s people in Caraca City say that many magic machine companies in the Rudson Kingdom are closing right now and there are also many other companies closing. So the Rudson Kingdom has less jobs compared to before and you can’t say it’s because they’re lazy that they can’t find jobs.”

“Isn’t it because they are lazy?” Scope’s face was still covered in disdain, “Hasn’t our company’s job posting been here for over a week now? There were less than five hundred people that came and you’re saying that it’s not because these fellows are lazy? Then why aren’t they going to respond to our post?”

“This…..This work is very far from their homes and even away from the Sines Continent, so they won’t be able to come back even once a year. It is understandable that they aren’t willing to go……”

“Che, even their Rudson Kingdom people have pride. Our Lampuri Kingdom and Stantine Duchy have a bunch of people going. Nowadays, if you can earn money, where wouldn’t you go? If there’s money, what else do you even need to think about.”

Scope kept spraying his saliva all around as his eyes filled with disdain. He didn’t even bother lowering his voice, as if he didn’t care if the Rudson Kingdom people around him could hear him.

Roddick shook his head with a bitter smile. He knew that he couldn’t talk to his partner, so he was too lazy to talk to him.

But deep down in his heart, he agreed with what Scope said to a certain degree.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had openly recruited in the Rudson Kingdom and sent five hundred workers to the bases on the endless seas, which was because of the aid that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce offered to the Rudson Kingdom.

But he never thought that Rudson Kingdom people wouldn’t want these jobs. They would rather stay here in the warm Nissi City as beggars instead of working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

If it was Roddick of a few years ago, perhaps he wouldn’t agree with leaving home for work.

But since he joined the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport fleet, Roddick had gone all over with the transport fleet. He had even gone to the southeast corner of the continent that was several thousands of kilometers away. His experience couldn’t be described and he no longer wanted to stay in his home forever, rather he wanted to wander even more.

It was just like Scope had said, as long as you can earn gold coins, it doesn’t matter where you go.

Looking at the people on the opposing side of the street, Roddick shook his head and turned to leave.

Before he took two steps, there was someone who came forward and blocked their path.

The two were scared by him. Scope looked at him and saw how tattered his clothes were, how dishevelled his hair was, and how dirty his face was. He couldn’t help mumbling before taking out two silver coins and throwing them at him.

“Here, go and buy two mantous, stop blocking the path.”

That person was surprised before waving his hand. That person revealed a smile and asked, “The two of you, you were talking about…..the Frestech Chamber of Commerce recruiting people?”

The two were surprised and Scope looked over him before nodding.

“Yes, there’s a big job posting in Nissi Harbour, didn’t you see it?”

That person awkwardly scratched his head, “This…..I never learned how to read, so I can’t recognize the characters……”

Scope and Roddick were surprised again before Scope clapped his hands.

“So it’s because of this! No wonder! I was saying that these people weren’t dumb. They can’t read letters, so they don’t understand the job listing.” After saying this, Scope pulled that person in and excitedly asked, “Do you want to join our Frestech Chamber of Commerce?”

That person nodded in a daze, “Yes, I’ve heard that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s treatment is very good…..”
