“Do you not want to continue living in the Storm Empire? How dare you ignore President Belek’s orders?” Grimm, who was standing on the side, was the first to speak. The thin young man in white also stood out at this moment and spoke with dissatisfaction.
He was very unhappy when he saw that Mas ignored his orders and had been discussing employment matters with Walter. After all, he was a respected figure in the capital.
“I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear me?!!” Grimm coldly stared at Mas and Walter and scolded.
“Where did this wild dog come from, barking like it doesn’t have a master?” Mas pretended to look around and finally looked at Grimm, who had a scowl on his face, showing a look of realization.
“So you’re that wild dog that’s barking!”
“Little bastard, you’re courting death!” Grimm, who had flown into a rage out of humiliation, shouted and took the lead to throw a punch at Mas.
Seeing that his huge fist was getting closer and closer to Mas’s face, Mas was stunned for a moment and did not react. Fortunately, Walter quickly reacted, jumped up, and punched Green in the crotch..
Having suffered a serious injury, Grimm’s face instantly turned the color of pig liver. He covered his private parts with his hands and collapsed on the ground like a lump of mud, letting out a pig-like scream. His legs kept kicking and it seemed that he was in great pain.
“I was really scared to death. Thank you, Walter.” Mas, who had escaped, breathed heavily and thanked Walter slightly.
“You don’t have to thank me. I also have the intention to stand up for myself. This scumbag has bullied everyone for too long. Because of his status, he is usually arrogant and domineering. He is really detestable!”
“Grimm, you stupid mutt, go back and find your master. I don’t want to talk to you because I don’t want to lower myself to the level of a stray dog like you who shakes your tail and begs in front of others. Now, I’m not being threatened by you. Go back and tell that bastard Bellak that even if I starve to death, I won’t do anything for him!
He is just a heartless piece of trash that uses people!”
Walter saw that Grimm, who was rolling around on the ground, was still not appeased. He kicked hard at the his crotch once again.
After a period of time, Grimm, who had just recovered from the pain, wailed again. Then, he fell silent. Upon a closer look, they realized that he had fainted from the immense pain.
“My respected boss, from today onwards, Dwarf Walter will be your servant!” said the white-bearded dwarf sincerely as he knelt on one knee and performed a ritual that Mas could not understand.
Mas curled his lips and smiled strangely. Why was Walter speaking so strangely?
At this moment, Mas saw an attribute panel appear out of thin air beside Walter.
[Walter]
[Race: Elf Dwarf]
[Level: Three Star Elven Warrior]
[Ability: Advanced Ore Purification Technique, Master Level Ore Refinement Technique]
[Loyalty Level: 70 (Red warning: If loyalty is below 60, may be incited to defect at any time!)]
“Honorable Boss, I also have a brother here who can purify and refine ores. I wonder if you can provide him with a valuable job?” Walter asked carefully.
He knew very well that the noble in front of him had already offended the local authorities for his sake. Furthermore, the salary offered was not low. Was his request too rude?
“What are you feeling uneasy about? My dear Walter, I guarantee with my personality that as long as his technology passes, I will definitely be willing to hire him. The ore purification and refinement technology of dwarves is world famous!”
“Then I thank you for your generosity on my behalf. Please follow me!” Walter’s uneasy face was instantly overjoyed when he heard that, and he led Mas through the talent market.
After ten minutes or so, Mas finally met Walter’s so-called brother as he had hoped.
Mas thought that even if Walter’s brother was not a dwarf, he should be an elf, but he did not expect that the other party was a tall orc!
This huge orc was a branch of the Ogre Behemoths, but its skin was different from normal ogres. Ordinary ogres had blue or yellow skin, but rarely were there blood-red ones. Its body was far larger than ordinary ogres, reaching a terrifying three meters!
The huge orc was sitting on the ground and there was a wooden sign not far from him.
Mas slowly scanned the wooden sign.
“Expert in Combat, Battle, Bloodlust Magic”
Mas was speechless.
“Walter, is this your brother? We said clearly before that I need talent in ore technology!” Mas looked at Walter in front of him and said in surprise.
“Boss, don’t worry. This is indeed my brother who has been through life and death with me. Nobody knows me better than him. Although he likes to fight and kill as an orc, I guarantee that his ore purification and refinement skills are not inferior to mine!” Walter opened his eyes wide and looked at Mas confidently.
“Alright, since you’ve said so, I think there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Thank you, Boss. I guarantee that he won’t disappoint you too much!” Walter quickly walked towards the half-beast.
“My brother Harry, long time no see!” Walter rushed up to greet the orc.
As if hearing a familiar voice, the orc sitting on the ground, talking to hundreds of scoundrels, turned his head and looked for the source of the voice. “I’m not seeing things, right? Is it you, my brother Walter?!” Harry held Walter in his arms, and the two hugged each other like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
“Harry, are you still looking for a job? I have a job with a decent salary here.” Walter broke free from Harry’s embrace and asked with a smile.
“Of course, my brother. I haven’t received any new jobs in a long time, and I’m about to starve to death!” Harry rubbed his bulging belly with a resigned expression.
“Let me introduce you. This is my new boss. He is currently recruiting ore refinement workers. If you are willing, you can work with me!”
Hearing this, Harry turned to look at the “short” human.
“I heard from Walter that your ore refinement skills are very impressive. Are you interested in working for me?” Mas asked Harry with a smile.
“It’s not impossible for me to work for you. I only want a salary of 1,000 gold coins per month. On the premise, you must guarantee that I can eat my fill every meal!”
When Mas heard that, he was surprised and turned to look at Walter, who was standing awkwardly at the side. The salary was only one-tenth of Walter’s?
“Boss, don’t look at me like that. This guy only needs 1,000 gold coins a month. Look at this huge body. As an ogre, he often feels hungry and he has to eat meat. But I can guarantee that although he eats a lot, his skills are definitely top-notch!” Walter hurriedly explained.
“In that case, I agree to hire you. Congratulations, Harry. I hope we have a good time together in the future.” Mas smiled.
“Oh, did you hear that, Walter? I don’t have to worry about starving anymore!” Harry danced like a child.
Then Mas saw an attribute panel identical to Walter’s next to Hari.
[Harry]
[Race: Orc from the Ogre Branch]
[Level: Level 4 Beginner Berserker]
[Skill: Advanced Ore Refinement Technique, Advanced Ore Purification Technique, Intermediate Ogre Fighting Technique, Master Level Bloodlust Technique (Race Proficiency)]
Loyalty Level: 75
“Boss, I’m ashamed to say this, but I haven’t had my fill in a long time. Can you let me have something to eat first?” Harry looked at Mas in front of him with an embarrassed expression. He rubbed the back of his head and laughed dryly.
