When Pierre turned back and passed the bulletin board again, he saw Laila guarding the bulletin board and smiled at him:

"Why did you come down so quickly? Does Lord Baron think you are not suitable? Oh, what a pity. The bulletin board has been up for three days, and you are the only one who came to ask. The population of the town is still too small. It seems that Lord Baron I’m going to recruit somewhere else.”

Pierre was originally depressed and angry, but he couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing Laila, because when he came to consult, Laila was very enthusiastic towards him and did not look down on him at all. On the contrary, it surprised him, so he He said gently:

"Hey, I'm a dwarf. It's impossible for the Baron to recruit a dwarf like me." Pierre waved his hand and smiled.

"How is it possible?" Laila asked in surprise: "Who told you this?"

Pierre folded his hands and pursed his lips towards the castle gate: "Here, what the guard said."

"Oh, the guards are guards and the Baron is the Baron. How can they be confused?" Laila said with a frown.

"So what, the guards are blocking me and I can't get in." Pierre said.

"It's okay, I'll take you in." After Laila said that, she walked forward quickly, even a little angry. After a while, she turned around and said, "Come on, follow me."

Pierre looked suspicious, but at Laila's urging, he followed quickly, thinking, the guard can listen to you.

Arriving at the gate of the castle again, when the two guards saw Laila, their attitudes were not very respectful, but at least they were friendly.

Pierre stood far behind Laila. He couldn't hear clearly what they were saying to Laila, but at least the guards had smiles on their faces. Damn, it's good to be beautiful.

After a while, when the two guards smiled and nodded, Laila turned around and waved to Pierre and shouted: "Why are you standing so far away? Come in with me."

Pierre was quite surprised when I went. After he quickly followed, he asked softly beside Laila: "Are you a witch?"

Laila shook her head and said quite proudly: "I am the Baron's housekeeper. If you really become our architect, the Baron has said that you will be under my control from now on."

ah? Pierre was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time for Pierre to see the Baron at such a close distance. The Baron was indeed very young, not much different from him in age, but he had an oppressive temperament. Coupled with the Baron's various deeds in the town, Let him be humbled unconsciously.

"Sir, what's your name?" Daniel Hawkins looked at him.

Pierre looked surprised, his eyes widened, and his fists clenched involuntarily, as if Daniel Hawkins had asked some outrageous question.

"Speak, what are you doing standing still?" Laila pushed his shoulder aside, because he was too short, and it would be inconvenient and weird to push with his elbow like others did.

Pierre reacted and said quickly: "My name is Pierre. I'm really sorry. It's the first time I've been called sir by someone, and the word "please" was actually used, and it was also used by the Baron, which made me a little bit Not very adaptable.”

Pfft, Laila couldn't help but laugh.

"Pierre, I didn't expect you to be quite interesting. Are you here to apply for an architect job?" Daniel Hawkins asked.

Pierre nodded.

"How old are you?"

"eighteen."

"I'm not much older than you, but you are so young, do you really understand architecture?" Daniel Hawkins had a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Faced with the Baron's questioning, Pierre became angry. His humble demeanor just now disappeared, he folded his hands again, raised his head high, and his voice became louder: "What are you talking about? Although I am not famous, I have followed my master since I was a child. , go ask the people in the town, which of their houses was not built by me, and whose furniture was all made by me. But my master took the money. I have been with the master for so many years, and I have learned all the skills. Once you learn it, it doesn’t matter whether it’s bricks, tiles, wood, or stone piers.”

Daniel Hawkins raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile: "Oh, so awesome."

Pierre tilted his lips and sneered, and said: "Baron, is the chair you are sitting on comfortable?"

Daniel Hawkins looked at the armrests of the left and right chairs, patted them and said, "They are quite comfortable, and they are also very strong."

"That one was made by me." Pierre said, "If you live in the former lord's room, all the furniture in it are my masterpieces."

"I see," Daniel Hawkins said, "Then where is your master? He is dead?"

"I almost starved to death." Pierre told Daniel Hawkins about his situation.

Daniel Hawkins listened and nodded. Laila admired the Baron even more.

"So, I came here to thank you, Lord Baron," Pierre said, "As long as you need me, I will do whatever you want me to build for you. I wonder, Lord Baron, what do you want me to build for you?"

"Lumberyard."

"Oh, lumberyard, simple, eh, wait a minute," Pierre suddenly felt something was wrong: "Could it be that the Baron wants to..."

"Yes, we cut down the trees in the Songk Forest, where there is a steady stream of wood." Daniel Hawkins said.

"Uh..." Pierre looked confused: "Baron, I'm here to express gratitude, not to die."

Daniel Hawkins laughed: "Don't worry, I will arrange warriors and wizards to protect you, and I will also arrange enough people to help you. After the sawmill is built, I will have hundreds of captives, and you can command them to cut wood. As for the rest, wait until you cut enough wood."

Pierre still looked worried.

Daniel Hawkins said: "Don't worry, I won't let you get into trouble. I hope you can trust me."

Pierre thought for a while and said: "Okay."

Daniel Hawkins gestured to Leila, and Leila took a parchment scroll to him. He said to Pierre: "This is a contract. If you have no questions, please sign it."

"I won't sign a contract to sell myself. I sell art but not my body." Pierre said: "Besides, I haven't been to school and I can't read."

Daniel Hawkins covered his forehead, feeling helpless. It seemed that he would have to carry out an enlightenment movement for the townspeople.

But fortunately, there was Leila, who patiently explained the terms of the contract to Pierre.

When Pierre heard that he would receive money every month, he said quickly, "No, no, no, Baron, you saved my life. I am helping you and I am here to thank you. How can I accept money? Just provide me with three meals a day."
