Chapter 42: Niubao’s First Business (Page 1/2)
After listening to the more detailed and true information that Priscilla had found out, Frank did not express his opinion immediately.
He asked everyone to continue enjoying the food. After everyone had finished lunch, he stroked his chin, which was just beginning to grow stubble, and turned to the poet lady, with an expression that said, "I'm optimistic about you," and said,
"Miss Priscilla, it seems that luck is on our side."
"We just arrived at Niubao, and the first business has come."
"Leave the matter of the trolls and the bridge to me."
"And your task is to convince those who are troubled by this matter to take out their wallets and pay us."
Having said that, Frank picked up a cup of tea that Mrs. Wendy had brewed for him, took a sip, and then shook his head and said,
"Don't reveal my identity as a demon hunter for the time being. Tell them that I am a swordsmanship master from Cintra. I have defeated many monsters in Cintra and have rich combat experience."
"If they are willing to pay, I can help them solve this problem and restore the bridge to traffic."
"But let me remind you here."
"It's not just the travelers in this temporary camp who are troubled by this matter. Whether it's the local villagers or the noble lords here, they should all be willing to pay a little money to solve this matter."
"The specific scale is up to you."
"And my request to you is that while getting as much remuneration as possible, you should also try your best to promote the reputation of our future detective agency."
"Although I haven't chosen a name yet, nor a business address, a good reputation can bring us more business."
"Just like the poems written by you bards, a little bit of lies, a little bit of embellishment, and a little bit of exaggeration are all allowed."
"And your performance and eloquence largely determine the benefits of our cooperation."
"You will also have a share of this remuneration."
………………
Power and wealth are eternal themes in the world and the pursuit of almost everyone.
As a demon hunter, in this world ruled by aristocrats, Frank can't see a way to gain power for the time being, or because of the limitations of his identity, his efforts and gains are not proportional.
So at this moment, what he wants is to make his strength stronger while earning more wealth, and to ensure the safety of himself and his friends and family.
As an adult with conscience and principles, he follows the principle of equal exchange, not absolute equal exchange in the true sense, but a transaction between you and me.
Frank paid his labor, and the other party paid the remuneration for hiring him. They both got what they needed and were happy.
As for how much this remuneration should be worth, it depends on the strength of both parties and the supply and demand relationship.
For the same life-saving grace, a poor person may only be able to pay a few silver coins, but a king can even give you a mountain of gold directly.
So when facing those wealthy groups, Frank will not hesitate to slaughter them and fleece these rich people.
When facing the poor and those who deserve pity, he will also show his kindness, rational kindness.
Time quickly came to the next day.
The first formal cooperation made Miss Poet very excited. She actively began to wander among the bridge guards, local villagers and travelers, using her talent as a bard to persuade, lobby, and promote and seduce to raise funds from these people.
He even went to meet the local noble lord accompanied by the local village chief, and used his status as a top student at the Ossenford Bard Academy to get a bounty from the lord.
