143 She? Enchanting?(2/2)
Although they are still under the age of sixteen according to imperial law, the big family does not recruit these children through recruitment.
These children will go through a training period, which lasts about five years. During this period, they will be taught some basic knowledge and how to serve their master.
After training, there is an internship and doing some odd jobs. Until they reach adulthood, they will be assigned the job that best suits them.
Those who perform particularly well in training and internships may also have the opportunity to be favored by the housekeeper and be groomed as heirs.
Housekeepers of large families are not allowed to get married and have children. If they want to get married, they must leave their jobs.
If there is an illegitimate child and the owner finds out, the consequences will be serious.
People who can become housekeepers are not fools. They know that only by continuing to be housekeepers until retirement can they spend their old age peacefully. People like them who come out of the dungeon have no other way out except being servants.
Simon came to the underground city alone, and everyone who saw him looked at him curiously.
Except for big families who come here to recruit people, few people come to the dungeon.
This is the forgotten corner.
Stepping on the cement floor littered with garbage, Simon strode forward.
There are dim yellow lights in the tunnels of the underground city that can barely provide illumination. There are people lying in the tunnels and children playing in the tunnels.
Simon stopped when he reached a half-open wooden door. Before he could raise his hand to knock on the door, he heard a hoarse voice coming from inside.
"I won't go back, and you don't have to come to me again." The voice was low, but there was an imperceptible disdain in it.
Simon pushed open the wooden door directly. There was no light source inside, but he could clearly see everything inside.
In a narrow room, the only furniture was a recliner that seemed to be in good repair. A figure was lying on it, eyes closed, as if asleep.
Even when the wooden door was pushed open, the man did not open his eyes.
He was wearing a faded long-sleeved set and baggy trousers on his lower body.
His skin is dark, a bit like milk chocolate, and he has curly gray hair on his head. His face looks very mature, not old at all.
Simon leaned against the door frame and smiled: "You can't even recognize me? It seems you have stayed here long enough."
Hearing a familiar voice, Edward suddenly opened his eyes.
Although the surrounding environment was dim, he could still clearly see Simon's unique face.
"It seems that Tangtang is right. Your face looks more and more like a monster as you get older." Edward sat up and smoothed the wool curls in front of his forehead.
When he mentioned the word "Tangtang", the corners of Edward's mouth rose slightly.
Simon didn't miss the change in his expression. He raised a hand and touched his chin and said, "Why didn't you say that your Tangtang will look like a monster when he grows up?"
"She? Monster?" Edward shook his head slightly, and the wool curls on his head bounced back and forth with his movements, "No, she will never become a monster like you."
Simon was unconvinced. Candice Leonard was an anomaly in the vampire race when she was still alive.
She is obsessed with electronic science and likes to communicate with the Wu tribe and make robots.
He only knows how to lock himself in the castle all day long, and his indifferent character is not like a vampire at all.
Perhaps because of her well-behaved personality, the Presbyterian Church has always been very reassuring about her.
After all, it takes tens of thousands of years for an obedient pure-blooded vampire to appear.
She really couldn't become a monster like Simon, who gave the entire Presbyterian Church a headache.
Simon asked nonchalantly: "It seems like something happened to the Leonard family recently. Did you hear it?"
"I have nothing to do with them a long time ago." Edward scratched the gray wool roll irritably, "If you are not here to catch up with me, you can leave."
Simon took a few steps forward and kicked a glass bottle that fell to the ground.
He took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and threw it to Edward, smiling and saying, "Of course I'm here to catch up with you."
"You kid." Edward smiled and took the bottle.
