Before the morning light covered the entire city of Achenkant, Balk carried a large basket of plants he had plucked from the Misty Forest to the City Lord's Mansion to exchange for food.
After eating well these days, Balke felt that he seemed to have become stronger.
He carefully received his reward and was about to go back to the Misty Forest happily when suddenly a knight and a maid passed by him.
Balk took a closer look and saw that the maid was his old acquaintance Daisy!
"Daisy!" Balk put the food in the basket and hurried after her.
Things are different now. In the past, everyone was trembling with fear when they saw the knights from the City Lord's Mansion. Now, when they see the group of fat and big-eared knights from the City Lord's Mansion, they are all smiling and wish they could move the bulletin board to the door of the City Lord's Mansion themselves to save the knights from having to walk so long.
"Is there a new announcement?" Balk tried to look into the knight's arms, but was stopped by Daisy who slapped him on the back of the head.
"Recruitment announcement." Daisy said without any anger.
After a while, she glanced at the small bag of grain in Balk's basket, curled her lips, and said to him in a low voice, "This is a good job. It provides food and accommodation, and you can get paid. It's much better than going to the Misty Forest to dig grass."
"Really?" Balk's eyes lit up and he turned around and ran towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Daisy was smart enough to see through his intentions immediately. She stamped her foot, glared at him, and cursed, "Oh my God of Light, how could there be a fool like you? I've already followed the knights out here, and you still don't understand? I'm the registered one!"
"Oh! Auntie, that's awesome!" Balk came over with a licked face and gave Daisy a thumbs up with a smile.
No, no, he has to inform his brothers about this matter, Balk thought to himself. He said a few words to Daisy, asking her to reserve three seats, and then he disappeared in a flash.
To be honest, the remuneration offered by Jiang Jin this time was very generous, but the conditions were also higher, and it was not as casual as the previous two recruitments.
Several women surrounded Daisy, looking dissatisfied.
One of the women grabbed Daisy's arm and yelled, "What's wrong with this trick of yours? Why do you only want strong men? Do you look down on us women? We want to have sex too! Why won't you let us have sex?"
"Even the God of Light despises your despicable behavior. What's wrong with being a woman? I have a lot of strength and can work quickly and efficiently!" Another woman shouted.
Daisy was dragged around by the group of women. Amidst their horrific curses, she managed to find her voice and yelled hoarsely, "Shut up!!"
She pushed away the woman who was pulling her arm and kicked over the stool.
As the stool fell to the ground with a loud bang, the scene suddenly became quiet.
At this time, Daisy pushed away the women who surrounded her, lifted her skirt, stepped onto the table, stepped hard on the table, and looked coldly at the women who surrounded her.
"Do you have any objections to the requirements set by the City Lord? This job requires working around the clock to complete it. Do you think you are up to it?"
Daisy's hands were shaking, but her face showed no sign of retreat. Her body was tense because she knew that when facing this group of unreasonable shrews, there was no other way except to be more aggressive than them.
Balke came over with his two brothers from not far away. He saw the maid who was standing on the table, holding up her skirt, and had an extremely ferocious expression.
"How fierce this woman is! Who would dare to marry her in the future?" his brother sighed.
Balk didn't hear it. He was staring at Daisy with his eyes wide open.
"You, you, you! And you! What? You think you can do this job? Hey, tell me your name."
Daisy quickly pointed at a few women who had been huddled in the front and sneered, "I'll register you."
Several women were startled by her. They hesitated for a moment, and some even wanted to try it, but Daisy's next words instantly shattered all their thoughts.
"If you are not competent for this job, I will put you on the blacklist. From then on, you will not be able to accept any future jobs in the City Lord's Mansion."
Daisy's expression changed, then she put on a warm smile. She jumped down from the table briskly, tilted her head and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to register?"
The woman standing in front was completely frightened by Daisy, but someone still insisted, "How do you know if it's possible if you don't try it?!"
Daisy looked at her with a forced smile and made a gesture to come over. "Excuse me, what's your name? I'll help you register."
The woman's face suddenly changed, and she cursed, "Who cares about your little tricks?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without stopping.
Daisy wasn't angry; she simply swallowed her rage. She quietly glanced around at the women making trouble, then suddenly chuckled coldly, "If you have anything to say, please go to the side and say it. Let's give the space here to the others who are here to register."
After her throwing a tantrum and yelling, the situation finally stabilized.
It was not easy for Balk to squeeze through the crowd. Just when he was about to praise Daisy for her heroic demeanor, he suddenly noticed that Daisy's hands hanging by her side were shaking.
She registered with skill, a warm smile on her face, and sat very still, looking not afraid at all.
But Daisy was only a girl of ten years old.
She was actually very scared. She was worried about whether she could do it and whether she could make those tricky women give in. She mustered all her courage to confront those women head-on.
Daisy lowered her eyes and stared at the words on the notebook, her eyes slightly misty.
Balke's heart suddenly skipped a beat. For some reason, he suddenly felt sorry for the girl in front of him who was pretending to be fierce.
At that time, she must have hoped that someone would stand behind her and help her.
It was all his fault for not coming earlier. Balk felt regretful and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply lowered his head and punched himself. The large amplitude of the action caught Daisy's attention.
"Why are you running so far ahead? Go get in line." Daisy glanced up at him and whispered to him, "There are no seats reserved. You and your brother can get in if you can't get in line. If not, you can go next time."
Even though the person in front of her was an acquaintance, Daisy still handled the matter in a businesslike manner.
Balk scratched his head and approached with a playful smile, "Lady Daisy, please be flexible. I'll treat you to some delicious boiled beans."
"Who cares about your beans?" Daisy glared at him angrily.
And Balk saw from the corner of his eye that her trembling fingertips slowly calmed down.
He didn't mind Daisy's glare. Instead, he smiled, reached out and quickly touched Daisy's head, then pulled his brother to line up.
Daisy was startled. She touched the place where Balk had just touched her, her eyes widened, and she was speechless for a long time.
