CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 63: TALENTS IN THE INTERVIEW

A certain small room, bright and shining.

Lin Ke rubbed his slightly sore waist, got up, turned around to move a bit, and nodded to the guard beside him.

"Next one!"

The guard shouted towards the door.

In the next moment, a hunchbacked old lady swiftly came in from outside, sat down, as agile as an assassin.

"Young Master, I am the most capable Granny Hisai, back in my youth I could farm two large plots of land by myself, and now all the work at home is done by my little Ken..."

This old lady started speaking a lot fluently as soon as she came in, after all, the previous interviewees would always tell others what the main topics were after going out.

The villagers are never foolish, once they know what the lord cares about, they consciously display it.

"Granny Hisai, how old are you?"

Lin Ke looked at Granny Hisai’s pure white hair, sparse wrinkled skin, and her bent back, and directly asked the fatal question.

"I..." Granny Hisai’s eyes rolled: "I can’t remember, maybe fifty or sixty, but let me tell you, Granny Hisai is quite amazing! Some forty-year-old guys can’t work as hard as I can!"

Granny Hisai spoke proudly, putting her hands on her hips, raising her drooping head.

Lin Ke closed his eyes and rubbed his brow: "Granny Hisai, here, anyone over seventy can’t come to work."

Oh my God.

This isn’t the previous life!

No good nutrition, no good medical conditions, people living to seventy is truly a rare thing.

However, maybe because of the presence of magic power or something, these people, although ordinary, still maintain a certain vitality even at old age.

But they can’t be too old!

This Granny Hisai in front looks at least over ninety, right? Not a single tooth left, my goodness.

Using such workers, I’d feel guilty.

"How is that possible?! Who told you I am already a hundred and five?! Was it Old George? Andrew’s Leg, he really is an annoying and stupid fish man!"

Granny Hisai put her hands on her hips, her eyes glaring, and Lin Ke even felt her eyeballs would pop out and become independent rulers in the next moment.

Lin Ke: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

How much? Over a hundred?

"Young Master, listen to me, Granny Hisai is quite skillful! I can even do magic!"

Granny Hisai, ignoring the guard’s nervous glance, nervously approached Lin Ke and whispered.

It’s over, still dementia.

Lin Ke sighed, first signaling the guard not to interrupt, then gently said to Granny Hisai: "Granny Hisai, this job is not suitable for you. I’ll definitely consider you for another job in the future, okay?"

Papermaking requires some physical strength, a centenarian should just bask in the sun and tease grandchildren instead, don’t throw your back out or something.

Hearing Lin Ke’s words, Granny Hisai immediately panicked, even straightening her hunchback a bit, hands on the hips: "No way! Young Master! Granny Hisai is very honest! I’ll show you my magic right now!"

Saying so, Granny Hisai, ignoring Lin Ke’s increasingly pitiful and gentle look, took out something wrapped in leaves from her bosom.

Lin Ke sighed again: "Granny Hisai, I’ll arrange the next job for you, okay?"

For example, making clocks, where you can just sit and use your hands, unlike papermaking which needs stirring and transporting.

He thought this Granny Hisai was like those increasingly childish old people he had seen before, cute yet pitiful.

It’s known that professionals can sense each other’s magic power to a certain degree, unless deliberately hidden, it’s easy to know if the other is a professional or mage.

In his opinion, Granny Hisai was just an ordinary elderly lady with longevity.

"Look! My magic can create Bursting Fire!"

However, Granny Hisai eagerly opened the leaves in her hand, revealing what’s inside for Lin Ke to see.

A bundle of black dusty crumbs.

"You’re mocking the Young Master?!" The guard beside wanted to slash this crazy old lady in front, daring to fool the wise Young Master Like with a bundle of dirt crumbs?!

However, upon hearing "Bursting Fire," and seeing the black crumbs in front, Lin Ke’s pupils shrank violently: "Is this... Granny Hisai, does this need to be ignited with fire and it will make a loud bang?"

"How... how do you know? This is a magic I discovered, hehe." Granny Hisai collected the leaves, put them back in her pocket, her eyes rolling around.

Her wrinkled old face was full of pride: "The power of this magic is very great!"

Because this is gunpowder named with papermaking art... Lin Ke was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Granny Hisai, you’re not suitable for this job..."

Granny Hisai originally thought Lin Ke’s expression changed, and he spoke out her "magic," thinking she could successfully get the job, who knew she was rejected instead?

"Young Master Like! I have more magic!"

Granny Hisai was like a centenarian girl who had her candy snatched, tears fell immediately, comparable to Knicks weeping speed.

"More?"

Lin Ke was a bit curious, but he still had ten spots left to interview, needed to interview a hundred people, so he waved his hand: "No need to say more..."

Granny Hisai panicked but didn’t dare defy Lin Ke, so she cried as she walked towards the door: "Alright... boo hoo hoo, I’m leaving..."

Like a centenarian girl who, after having had her candy stolen, was kicked twice by a bully.

And the "bully" spoke again: "Granny Hisai, I haven’t finished my words... would you like to have a chat with me after the interviews are over? At Azanen Castle... hmm, talk about another job."

"Bully" Lin Ke smiled at Granny Hisai.

"Ah! Sure! Thank you, Lord Lin Ke! No no no, thank you, Young Master Lin Ke!"

Granny Hisai abruptly turned her head, immediately stopped crying, smiled brightly, like an old chrysanthemum with over a hundred petals.

Lin Ke waved to the guard: "Have Granny Hisai sent to the castle first for arrangement, then the next one."

The guard took the order and went out to arrange.

The next person also came in.

Lin Ke first drank a bit of warm Gula Milk to soothe his throat.

After talking all day, his throat felt like swallowing an eighth-level fire magic lava.

And the next person, who knew the rules from the previous ones, quickly spoke up: "He... Hello, Young Master Lin Ke."

Lin Ke turned around.

This was a handsome young man with golden long hair. If his skin wasn’t roughened by the sun and winds, and his expression wasn’t so honest, his blond hair with blue eyes and fine features would surely be considered very handsome.

"I am Watson, Young Master Lin Ke."

Blond Watson respectfully: "I only have one big piece of land at home, so I have a lot of free time to do many jobs."

His speech was plain, but Lin Ke had a good impression of his honest and straightforward nature, so he wrote down his name first: "You are Watson, right? From which village?"

"Azaenn Village Three."

Watson immediately reported the number Lin Ke assigned to five villages, numbered from north to south as one, two, three, four, and five.

"Alright, remember to attend the first staff meeting tonight." Lin Ke waved his hand, and Watson went out immediately.

After interviewing another batch, the day’s torment was finally over.

Meet tonight, start work tomorrow!
