Revival of the Mysterious: Tarot Cards, Starting with the Fortune Teller

Time passes day by day.

This is also the first time Kurt has walked such a long distance.

It was originally expected to be one month.

As a result, the road has been deserted for a long time.

Constantly harassed by vicious beasts.

It took a month and a half before I came to Perot City.

Perot City.

A port city.

Half of the city is in the water and half of the city is on land.

It was transformed from a large natural harbor.

The pier is inside the city.

There is only one gate leading to the open sea.

The main reason is that it has been attacked by the Hai Clan for a long time, so a tall city wall was built on the outside.

Even at the mouth of the sea, a water wall was built.

Ships usually come in and out from here.

Once the sea tribe invades.

Immediately close the iron fences.

In a villa near the southern city wall.

Kurt was in the study, constantly flipping through the wordless newspapers and checking the information inside.

The kingdom divided the land in the south.

More than 10 kilometers away from Pero City.

I took a look when I arrived at Pero City. There was a dense forest and not even a decent road.

It means starting from scratch.

One characteristic here is that there is a very large floating population.

They are all people who are preparing to go to sea, but because the giant ship only comes every very long time.

Plus there are too many people who want to go overseas.

So you need to queue up.

In particular, there is no fixed time for the giant ship to arrive at the port. You must wait here, otherwise if you miss it, you will have to wait for the next batch.

Gradually more and more people gathered here.

The level of prosperity is no less than that of Graeme City.

Due to the terrain, employment opportunities are severely limited.

This has resulted in a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

Poor people starve to death in the streets.

The rich enjoy a luxurious life.

Only professionals are slightly better. They can hunt sea tribes in the sea to obtain materials.

These rare materials are then resold to merchants and transported to other areas of the kingdom.

As for the number of ferocious beasts in the wild, there are not many.

But no one dares to stay for a long time, because every once in a while, the sea tribe invades, whether ferocious beasts or humans, as soon as they see it, there will be a conflict.

It seemed that there was great hatred between the creatures on the earth and their sea clan.

"Dong dong dong...!" A knock on the door sounded.

Then Sander's voice came from outside.

"Master, it's me!"

"come in!"

Xander said respectfully after coming in.

"I just went to recruit people. It was very unsatisfactory. No one wanted to go outside the city."

Developing the territory definitely requires manpower.

Just now, Sander went to the employment market to learn about the situation here.

Kurt closed the wordless newspaper.

After a moment of silence, he asked.

"How many gold coins do we have now?"

Xander answered directly without thinking.

"I just paid off the guard hire fee and the rent for this villa, and now I still have 4,300 gold coins and some change left."

"There are 2,000 gold coins that need to be returned to Lady Alice."

Kurt picked up a pen and paper and started writing.

After a while.

Hand the list to Sandow.

"Take 1,300 gold coins and buy all these materials. See how many materials you can buy in total."

"Based on the amount of materials, go to the recruitment market to recruit people, and say that everyone who is willing to follow will be rewarded with a bottle of magic potion."

Xander looked at the list and looked stunned.

doubted.

"Master, is this number too small? If you subtract the failures, you can probably succeed a few times, right?"

Although Sander didn't know what kind of potion these materials were made from, based on his experience, he couldn't make more than a few bottles.

After the butler reminded him, Kurt realized that he had always made potions with 100% success and never failed at all. .

Over time, you will naturally forget that others often fail when making potions.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter! Let's recruit according to this quantity first, and then we will think of a way. If it is really not enough, just buy some more."

"yes!"

As for the recipe being leaked, Kurt doesn't care.

It’s just Sequence 9, so what if it’s leaked? Even if you know the type and don't know the proportion well, it will still be difficult to succeed.

…………

Recruitment market.

Although the name sounds nice, it actually has everything here.

In fact, people without jobs are here waiting to be hired.

There are mercenaries, professionals, and ordinary civilians.

But they are all distributed in different areas.

Sanji and Chopper came from civilian areas and were slightly thin.

It was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition.

But this is the case for most people here.

If you are physically strong.

You will choose to work as a porter at the dock and you will earn a lot of money.

It's also this vicious cycle.

Make the poor poorer.

Not even a piece of brown bread a day would satisfy.

It's almost noon.

Chopper leaned against the wall.

He took out half a piece of brown bread from the bag and broke half of it to Sanji.

Weak and weak.

"Eat something to cushion your stomach!"

This small piece of black bread is only half the size of a fist.

Sanji took the bread.

Tasting it bit by bit, it seems like the most delicious food in the world.

Brown bread actually had no flavor at all.

There may also be sand in it.

Yet it is very precious to them.

Chopper next to him continued.

"Let's just find some work. If we continue like this, we will really starve to death."

"Or we can go out of the city to catch the sea. We will always get something valuable."

Sanji paused slightly with his hands.

He stuffed the brown bread into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

Sighed.

"You can't go out. I heard that scattered sea tribes often come ashore on the beach. If you encounter them, you won't even have a chance to escape."

"Alas...! How many people come here hoping to go out to sea and make a fortune, but only a few can actually go out."

"Let's talk about it later. If it doesn't work out, just sell the ticket and let's go home."
