Last Totem Novel - Chapter 546
Chapter 546 Deception
The next morning, Elsa changed into a new set of clothes. He wore a white shoulder coat and a thick cotton skirt. This was bought with a bonus from Big Die Teeth when business was good last year.
Wearing a light gray cotton hat and long rubber shoes, she went out the door. He stepped on the snow and walked to the main street. He got on the tattered metal carriage and arrived at the apartment area.
Compared to other residential areas in the town, apartment blocks are taller and more dense. They were all nine-storey buildings with reinforced concrete structures. The outer walls were made of lime-sand bricks, and the inner walls were divided into compartments for the people who temporarily stayed.
Due to the high population density and high mobility, the apartment area is the most prosperous place in Crow Town.
After getting off the car, Elsa quickly found the address on the leaflet-Building 47. From afar, there were a few long wooden tables in front of the building. Three staff members were dressed in formal clothes and sat upright.
“Excuse me, is this the registration office?” Elsa walked forward, raised the leaflet in his hand and asked.
Looking at the sound of his voice, the slippery bug sitting in the middle only felt its eyes shine. It was young and beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, and fine skin. It was precisely a high-grade item. If the transaction was successful, it would cost at least 600 gold coins. If it was tripled, it would cost 1,800 gold coins.
So he stood up enthusiastically with a gentle smile and said, “Yes, Miss, please sit down.”
“Are you a regular recruitment company?” Elsa asked uncertainly.
The slippery insect did not answer. Instead, it picked up a large stack of information on the table and handed it over. “This is our company’s information. All the formalities are strictly in accordance with the World Convention. Look at this …” Then, it pointed to the seals in the document and said, “This is the red seal of the Crow Town Autonomous Society, and the blue square seal of the City Hall of Windsand Castle …”
Much of the information was written in Silver City’s aristocratic language, and Elsa could not understand it. He pretended to flip through a few pages before returning it to the staff.
“How is it? Are the procedures still complete?” Slipworm asked.
“It’s quite formal.” To avoid being looked down on, Elsa casually commented.
“What company does Miss want to go to?” The slippery insect asked, and then sighed, “A talent like Miss, if you go outside, the big company will definitely want it.”
“Really?” Elsa smiled and asked.
“Of course. Young miss is born beautiful, smart, polite and well-mannered. The big company is still open to welcome her.” The slippery insect praised.
Elsa was delighted to hear this and cursed Tianchang for not recognizing people.
“I want to go to Santa Maria Mechanical Renovation Hospital. I heard that there will be half a year of training.” Elsa pointed at the line on the leaflet.
“Yes, half a year of training is free. Food and accommodation are included.” Slipworm said seriously.
“Why … why is it so good?” Elsa asked in disbelief. She was still a little wary of outsiders. In her impression, how could any boss be willing to pay for training, food and accommodation?
“You don’t know …” The slippery insect sat down and gestured for Elsa to sit down. “The sandstorm castle was messed up by the insect tide. A lot of people died. The corpses were piled up on the streets, as tall as a hill.” He paused for a moment and said in a strong tone, “Because of the shortage of employees, the big hotels, hospitals, and factories are going to be shut down.”
“Heavens!” Elsa covered his mouth in shock, his eyes wide open.
Then, the slippery insect changed the topic, “But it’s fine now. The insects have all escaped and are returning to production. They need a large number of talents.” He gave Elsa a thumbs up. “Young and capable like Miss, you must have a good future. Perhaps …” He deliberately lengthened his voice and said sincerely under Elsa’s expectant gaze, “In the future, you future great figures will have to help us brothers …”
“If you can leave this damn place, you should have left early.” “Yes” The other two staff members nodded in agreement, their sighs filled with indescribable loneliness.
“What if … I mean what if …” Elsa hesitated.
“What if?” The slippery insect asked with a concerned expression.
‘”I mean, if she doesn’t study for half a year, will she … get kicked out …” Elsa stammered. After all, she had only studied technical secondary school, and her culture was very low.
“This shouldn’t be a big problem. Last time, a young lady like you was not used to life there and didn’t do her homework well. However, considering that she was a talented person, the company let her retrain for half a year …” Slippery stressed. “It’s all free.”
“Really?” Elsa pounced on his big eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
“Aiyo, you don’t know. The big companies over there are rich. It’s not something you can imagine. The money we have here is not money when we get there.” “A sports car costs three thousand gold coins, a bottle of vintage sea demon red wine costs two hundred gold coins …” He then asked, “Do you know how much a box of skin care products costs?”
“How … how much?” Elsa seemed to be stunned and asked curiously.
“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me. I want eight gold coins!” The slippery insect gestured.
‘”Wow ~” Elsa cried out in surprise. Eight gold coins was her living expenses for several months.
Seeing that the bewitching soup was almost full, the slippery insect took the opportunity to ask, “How is it? Are you interested in breaking into Sand Wind Castle? I think that young girls should go out and see more.”
“Do you need to pay?” Elsa asked timidly.
“The handling fee for one silver coin, the rest will be paid by the recruiter.” The slippery insect stretched out a finger and said.
“When are we leaving?” Elsa asked.
“The ship in seven days.” The slippery insect replied. Afterwards, under his persuasion, the girl paid a silver fee, and then he took out four contracts for her to sign.
“Ah, do you still need an autograph?” Two of the contracts were written in noble language, and Elsa could not understand them, so he hesitated.
“This is a regular large company. It is not a casual job. It must be done in strict accordance with the agreement of the World Convention.” Slipworm explained.
“Oh …”
Just like that, Elsa signed his name in confusion and stamped his palm on it.
“Alright, let’s report the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we will depart for Black Harbor by boat.” After stamping the company seal, Slippery put away the two contracts and handed the remaining two to Elsa.
Afterwards, he looked at Elsa’s fading figure, his gaze lingering on her curved butt, his face revealing a trace of an obscene smile. Unfortunately, they can’t touch the goods, otherwise it will greatly affect the transaction price. If you really want to vent your beastly desires, it’s better to find a bar girl.
For a person like him, as long as he didn’t look too shabby, turning off the lights would be the same.
At night, Tianchang was drunk again, lying on the table and talking nonsense.
Even though he was determined to ignore it, seeing that Tianchang was unconscious, Elsa still couldn’t bear to help him up as usual, sending him back to his room and covering him with a quilt.
“Raven … Hagrid … Where are you … Let’s drink … Drink …”
In the darkness, Elsa sat on the edge of the bed and listened to Tianchang’s mumbling. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
“Elsa is leaving. You must take good care of yourself in the future. Don’t get drunk again …” she muttered to herself.
“You are a big shot, a star in the sky, beautiful and dazzling.”
“Elsa knows that Elsa is not worthy of you …”
“The girl in your heart must be a very good girl. You have to work hard and snatch her heart back.”
“If you can’t even do it, Elsa believes that no one in the world can.”
“Don’t waste yourself anymore. Elsa will feel heartache. That girl will also feel heartache.”
After a long silence, Elsa stood up and tucked Tianchang in.
“If you become a big shot in the future, go to Sand Wind Castle and see Elsa …”
In an instant, the word Sand Wind Castle entered Tianchang’s ears and exploded with a buzzing sound in his mind.
“What? You’re going to Sand Wind Castle!” Tianchang suddenly opened his eyes. A blue light suddenly appeared in his eyes. It was like a ball of light erupting in the dark night, instantly illuminating the entire room.
“Ah!” Elsa, who was about to leave, was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Pounds of psionic energy came out of Tianchang’s eyes, suffocating him.
“I … I just … I just signed up …” Elsa said timidly.
“Where did you sign up? Who is it?” Tianchang sat up and asked in a deep voice.
Elsa hesitated and said, “The apartment area is … a … a company … a regular company …”
“What company?” Tianchang asked with a cold face.
“That’s right … that’s right …” Elsa couldn’t remember the name of the company. He then remembered the contract and said, “I … I signed the contract …”
“What contract? Give it to me.” Tianchang stretched out his hand, his tone unquestionable.
A moment later, Elsa handed the contract over to Tianchang.
Tianchang turned on the light and looked at it carefully for a while. Then, he raised the contract in his hand and asked her, “Do you know what you signed?”
“What … what … isn’t it just … a work contract?” Elsa replied uncertainly.
“It says that if you want to go to Sand Wind Castle, you must accept all the arrangements made by the company and pay 200 gold coins for the shipping and service fees for the follow-up work.” Tianchang pointed to another clause. “This clause states that if the company does not make arrangements, the party concerned must return double the fine and accept the assignment of the officials of Windsand Castle.”
“You are an insecticide. After signing this agreement, when you arrive at Sand Wind Castle, you will become a slave that will be slaughtered by others!” Tianchang’s eyes were about to spit out flames. A thick amount of psionic energy condensed in his hand, and the contract burned out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes.
“Ah!” Elsa covered his mouth in a daze and murmured, “Then … what should I do?”
“As long as you don’t go, the contract will automatically expire.” Said Tianchang.
“But” Elsa hesitated.
“I will protect you.” Tianchang stood up and said, his gaze steady and firm.
The calm voice rushed into Elsa’s heart like a warm current, and her heart beat wildly.
