Chapter 11 New Job

According to the normal work rhythm of a workshop apprentice, it would take two months to earn 20 gold pounds.

Truman is different. Truman is a working machine who doesn't need to rest. He thinks that about a month is enough for him.

If there are good job opportunities, maybe shorter.

The next day at work, a job opportunity came.

The owner of the workshop summoned Truman and Anton.

Taking the two photos handed over by the owner of the workshop, Truman and Anton both saw something like a screen. It stood there. Since there was no reference, they didn't know how high it was. It was a little incomplete, but it was generally complete.

Truman noticed the dents buried in the dust on the 'screen'. They were very familiar and he came into contact with them every day at work.

"Teacher, are there spiritual texts on this?"

"Yes~" The workshop owner nodded, took a sip from her ruby ​​cigarette pouch, and blew out smoke rings with a sweet smell, "This is a relatively complete spiritual screen."

"How many words does this have to be?" Truman couldn't help but sigh.

"More than 20, a 'continuous word' of more than 20 characters." The owner of the workshop said, "Customers are now seeking the opinion of the potion workshop to divide it into several parts. We are more confident to complete it."

Asking for advice from the Potions Workshop... divided into parts...

Truman understood a lot instantly.

"What the teacher means is that the more complete the spiritual text, the higher the value?" Truman said.

"Nonsense." Anton said disdainfully, "This is common sense."

Indeed, this is common sense, and Truman did say nonsense.

After the seven-character "continuous word" was completed, the "spiritual tide" that shone out almost spread over half of the workshop. Compared with it, the flash of light when the single-character spiritual text was completed was like a firefly compared with the bright moon.

The income that can be brought to apprentices is also very different.

How much is the value of a 20-character super ‘continuous word’?

"This is the last and most important component of this customer's promotion potion." The workshop owner said, "The fewer times the spirit text is divided, the better the effect of the potion will be."

"The only existence of Lingwen..." Truman murmured to himself.

Indeed, this involves the unique existence of spiritual texts. When a spiritual text is placed in a 'continuous word', it will be more powerful and more effective.

"It turns out that the single-word spiritual missions we received before were all divided artificially." Truman suddenly realized.

It's just that due to the limited ability of the apprentices, it has to be divided into separate spiritual texts. Otherwise, each spiritual text should exist in a 'continuous word'?

"The reason for the division is that when refining higher-level potions, there are different needs. Sometimes a single word of spiritual text is enough. Of course, the 'continuous word' must be of higher value."

The workshop owner said, "Now, answer me, a long spirit text with more than 20 words will have to be divided several times before we can complete it."

This seems to be a numbers problem.

In fact, it is a competition question.

Truman looked at Anton next to him.

The owner of the workshop called these two formal students here, he must have wanted them to compete for the job.

See who has the ability to complete the work quickly and well. This is like a project bidding on earth to see who has the lower lowest price.

Truman's past results were better. He had completed a maximum of 7-character consecutive words, so a 20-word long spirit text could be divided into three times at most...

"Twice." Anton said through gritted teeth.

Truman stared at him, buddy, are you going crazy?

The owner of the workshop also stared at Anton and smiled again: "It seems that you are very confident in using the second-level magic potion to advance to the extraordinary~"

Truman frowned. After half a year, Anton is going to try to be promoted to Extraordinary again?

Sounds like you still drink the second-level magic potion directly?

How expensive is it? Will the money earned from translating spiritual texts be enough to repay the cost?

That's a lot of money to burn.

"Yes, teacher, I am very confident." Anton said while looking at Truman with contempt.

Things seemed to be settled at this point.

But Truman suddenly raised a question, "Teacher, can I ask, is our customer this time still the same customer we always had?"

This question was very strange, but both the workshop owner and Anton had expressions of understanding or contempt. It seemed that everyone knew why Truman asked this and who that person was.

"Yes, that's the Grand Duke~" The owner of the workshop did not mention his name, as if everyone should know it.

Which Grand Duke?

Truman didn't understand.

It was enough for him to make sure that the spiritual text to be translated this time should still be related to "Zhuge Liang".

"No need to divide," he said.

The workshop owner and Anton were both obviously stunned for a moment, as if they doubted their own ears.

"What did you say!" Anton asked.

"There is no need to divide it. This time the 20-character 'continuous word' does not need to be divided. I can translate it completely." Truman said.

"Oh~" the workshop owner showed an interesting expression, "Is this possible?"

"I'm sure." Truman said.

Anton was angry, "Impossible! You, this shameless villain! You made such a shameless promise just to get close to Grand Duke Habsburg! You will ruin the teacher's reputation! You will make the workshop lose a major patron!"

As he spoke, Anton waved his fist at Truman. The violent sound of the fist dance frightened Truman, but he was already prepared. He lifted his coat and pointed his two-shot pistol at Anton's head.

Anton was held at gunpoint, but still did not flinch, gritting his teeth as if he was not afraid of bullets.

"That's enough!" the owner of the workshop shouted, pressing his head as if he had a headache, "If you want to fight him out, please don't mess around in my workshop."

Then both were kicked out of the workshop owner's office.

…

Although Truman wanted not to offend Anton, things inevitably backfired.

As long as Truman completes this big business of 20-character ‘continuous words’, he will have all the funds to be promoted to extraordinary, and he doesn’t want to let it go.

The other 20 words of the long spirit text are also a good opportunity to verify the relationship between the mystery of the spirit text and "Zhuge Liang".

Truman just felt that he should stay away from An, but he was not really afraid of him.

After this "competition", Anton showed a clear break with Truman. Not only did he no longer issue work lists to Truman, he also loudly called Truman a "despicable and shameless pariah" in the workplace.

Truman really wanted to put a bullet in Anton's head, but he just wanted to do it.

After get off work, Lilith talked to Truman about another matter.

"Anton wanted me to join his team to complete the translation of a 20-word 'continuous word', and said that this work will be a competition between you and him, and I must choose a side."

"What do you think?" Truman asked Lilith.

"I said I would think about it, but actually I would turn him down," Lilith said.

Truman was a little happy, Lilith was indeed on his side.

"I will also reject you." Lilith said again, "because it is an impossible task..."

"I'm sure I can finish it!" Truman said.

Lilith was surprised by Truman's firm tone and looked at Truman with questioning light blue eyes. She saw the certainty that there was no need to question.

Truman said in a sincere tone: "Think again, the 20-character 'continuous word', the owner of the workshop said, is worth 20 gold pounds, 1 gold pound for 1 spiritual text, a rich reward that has never been seen before, you

What does it take? Just trust me."

Lilith didn't answer, just showed a thoughtful expression, and then stopped talking about the matter.

"By the way, do you know Grand Duke Habsburg?" Truman mentioned another matter.

"A duke and a hero in the Second Patriotic War..." Lilith said.
