The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 772

The gossip mill turned out to be their strongest ally in the search for employees.

Out of curiosity, Mage Jones’ daughter came to see what they were up to, and before she had even finished talking to her father, a small group of people arrived together with hopeful expressions.

"How can I help you today?" Karl asked, motioning them to come in off the street.

"We heard that you might be looking for workers." The man who led the group into the compound explained, bowing slightly and flaring his large black feathered wings that perfectly matched his long hair.

"That was fast. How did word spread already?" Karl asked.

"You’re talking in the yard next to a guard station." The man replied simply.

He had an excellent point. They weren’t being secretive about their activities, and Karl had openly told the Guard what they were planning, so he should have expected them to pass the word on.

Especially with so many people out of work until their employer rebuilt.

Assuming the previous employers did rebuild instead of trying for something that they thought might be more successful.

"What position are you looking for?" Karl asked.

"I have the Merchant class, which is good for all sorts of trade and sales jobs. But I was hoping that you might have a managerial position available. I have references that can be verified and a stable history in the city."

Karl looked at the boring beige colour of the man’s name in the System interface.

"Alright, Davis. I think that we can have an interview." Karl agreed, then took out the Sword of Champions and three green Mana Jade rings. Only two of which were activated, though all three were carved with runes.

"Please give me a valuation for all of these items."

The Merchant laughed. "We have two hundred gold coins, two hundred gold coins, fifteen gold coins? Why is that? Oh, that one isn’t active, it’s just carved. And then...

That’s not a number. That can’t be a valuation. I have no idea how to value that blade. It appears to be worth more than my skills are capable of determining.

However, if I were purchasing it, I would value it as a Monarch Rank Epic blade, which is Eleven hundred Gold wholesale purchase, and nineteen hundred gold for resale."

Karl smiled and put all the items back in storage.

"So, you have a System Skill that tells you the real value. That is very convenient."

Davis smiled. "Yes and no. It only works with System linked items. For common items, it’s a separate skill for valuation, and it just gives me a condition and quality. I reference that against recent sales prices in the city to come up with a number.

That can be a bit unreliable in a hot market, but I have a lot of experience."

"Please wait for the rest of the team to come out. They will give me their opinion before a final decision is made."

Then Karl turned to the others waiting behind him.

They were all similarly violet skinned with curled horns and short tails extending from their skirts. The outfits looked like they were uniforms from some shop, so they must have worked together.

"And who might you all be? I can see that you all worked together." Karl asked.

Davis bowed and flared his wings for balance, an act that made Cara want to know what they felt like. Hawk was sure that feathers felt like feathers, but the motions were the part he was interested in. Being humanoid was hard, but the appraiser was good at being a human with wings. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
