Chapter 24: The Deceiver?
As Karoso was halfway through, Rayne returned.
He came back with a brand new contract, panting, and said, "Alright, everything is fine now."
"Wait." Karoso continued to look at the list of materials.
"It was my mistake earlier; now there really isn’t any problem," Rayne explained.
"Okay, I understand." Karoso nodded and smiled slightly. "I trust you, but we need to keep our personal feelings separate from business. Since this is a contract, we should both be more cautious."
"Okay…" Rayne glanced at Ailina, who had a helpless expression on her face.
Soon, the person Karoso was waiting for arrived – a young man with messy black hair.
"Young master." The young lawyer bowed to Karoso.
"Please review this contract for me." Karoso pointed to the contract in front of him.
"Yes, young master." The young lawyer came over to Karoso, picked up the contract, and started reading it.
Rayne raised an eyebrow, realizing they were waiting for the lawyer.
How many people are there in Canglang Province in the capital? His intelligence report didn’t mention the existence of this young lawyer.
"Young master, it’s all good to sign." The young man put the contract down.
Without hesitation, Karoso took out a pen from his pocket and signed his name.
Seeing this, Rayne also relaxed and quickly signed his name, then stamped it.
"So, the recipe…" Rayne looked expectantly at Karoso.
Karoso took out a piece of paper and handed it to Rayne.
"You can go back now," Karoso said to the young man.
"Yes, sir," the young man said and left the place.
[Wow, is this what noble life is like?]
[I envy this!]
[A lawyer is considered part of the elite class too, being called upon and dismissed as needed.]
After the young man left, Rayne quickly opened the recipe and read it.
As she read on, Rayne’s face looked a little strange. "These ingredients are so simple?"
"Yes, isn’t it incredible?" Karoso said. "It’s like magic. Once you know the secret, it’s not so mysterious anymore."
"Whew… the sequence of adding these ingredients is so bold. Only someone with a good understanding of card-making would dare to do it this way." Rayne soon realized the brilliance of this recipe.
"Hmm." Karoso nodded. "The one who created it is a true master, willing to break the rules."
"This is a new discovery, and a great one at that. Karoso, thank you. This card has given me great inspiration." Rayne solemnly put away the recipe, ready to go back and try it out.
In the future, he could also use these two cards, even though he wasn’t a Pastor.
However, as a Card Maker, and considering his position, he rarely had a chance to go into battle. He probably wouldn’t need to use them.
"What I asked for before…" Karoso stared at Rayne.
"Ha, I found an assistant for you! She can help you buy materials, rent a lab, and hire a card maker assistant. Don’t worry, the price will be very good, even though you are not short of money." Rayne smiled, "She’s waiting downstairs, should I bring her up?"
"Okay," Karoso nodded.
"I’ll take my leave now," Rayne said to Ailina, "Ailina, let’s go back first and not disturb Karoso."
"But I want to learn more from Brother Karoso…" Ailina pouted.
"Karoso has important things to do. The entrance exam in two days is going to be tough, I’m sure Karoso is ready to show off his skills," Rayne said.
"Well, okay…" Ailina reluctantly said goodbye to Karoso.
……
Half an hour later, Karoso met the girl that Rayne recommended.
She had long silver hair, blue-green eyes, wearing a black shirt, black pants, and a white coat on top.
She has a very tall and thin figure, especially her legs which are quite long.
Karoso is still growing, and he is about the same height as the girl in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Karoso, here is my resume," the girl handed over the documents to Karoso.
Before Karoso could look, the bullet comments started to bombard crazily.
[Darn, this dishonest merchant!]
[Darn, was the dishonest merchant once part of the royal family?]
[The prices of the materials in her hands are ridiculously high!]
[When will she enter the dungeon? I want to beat her a thousand times!]
[What dishonest merchant? This is clearly a kind shopkeeper. I often buy Golden Materials at half price from her.]
[Go away, you lucky dog!]
[Why haven’t I ever found Golden Material for less than half price?]
[I once bought colored materials for only twenty percent off, hehehe.]
[Cheater, give back my Forged Coins, give back my Magic Crystal Coin!]
[Master Karoso, be careful, this is the first cheater of Ideal Homeland!]
"Cheater?" Karoso looked confused.
"Cheater?" The girl also looked confused.
"Nothing." Karoso shook his head and continued to look through the girl’s information.
[Name: Kirmin Hill]
[Gender: Female]
[Height: 170 centimeters]
[Weight: 51 kilograms]
[Birthday: January 18th]
[Class: fourth-tier]
[Occupation: Mechanic, Housekeeper]
[Birthplace: Canterwind]
[Education: Marl Magic Academy, Academy of Mechanical Engineering, Third Grade]
[Annual Salary Requirement: 120 Magic Crystal Coins]
"Can a butler and a mechanic coexist?" Karoso looked strange, "Isn’t butler knowledge not taught at Marl Magic Academy?"
"I learned that before." Kirmin stated calmly, "I am not from a noble family. My father runs an inn. Since he once hosted a skilled mechanic, I have been interested in machinery since I was young. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the money to support my hobby, so I had to self-study to make a living, buy mechanical parts, and pay high tuition fees."
[I refuse to be labeled as a rogue just because of my occupation!]
[With an annual salary of twelve thousand, why don’t you go rob a bank?]
[Let me explain to the newcomers, 1 Magic Crystal Coin can be exchanged for 1000 Forged Coins.]
[Can a student demand such a high salary?]
[Darn it, this person will surely become a successful merchant in the future. Her business will flourish to Ideal Homeland, where she can acquire many legendary materials.]
[Why hasn’t this person been beaten to death yet? I remember every time during events, her shop manages to stock up on essential materials at overly high prices.]
[Whether it’s expensive or not, isn’t it about integrity?]
[Master Karoso, make her suffer terribly, let her experience the cruelty of society!]
"Got it, since you were introduced by His Highness Rayne, I hope you will be worth the value." Karoso looked at the bullet comments, feeling his heart pounding.
To obtain legendary materials? That’s a talent!
"You won’t regret your choice." Kirmin showed a faint smile.
Before, my annual salary at His Highness Rayne’s place was only one hundred Magic Crystal Coins, now it has increased by 20, which is really good.
Karoso Colloa? He can surely bring me a lot of business.
