Chapter 1069 The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (56)

The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Fifty-Six)

"Hill! Why are you here? Aren't your family going to church..."

The boy who called out to Hill suddenly stopped talking midway, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"It's you, Fen'er. It's okay. I'm looking for a job. My family has spent all our gold coins on church, so we need to find a job to support our lives."

Hill saw his little friend who he usually played well with, and although he wanted to share his joy with him, he still held back.

She had discussed with her uncle and aunt that the matter of the recovery potion was too important to tell anyone casually, especially in case it attracted the attention of the Church of Light.

Now Hill's biggest wish is that her family can be safe and sound, so she will not do anything that may bring disaster to their family.

After chatting with Fenner for a few words, Hill reluctantly acted out, "Although my family wants to find a way to save Mom and has tried very hard, we have no money to eat, so I have to find a job to support my family," and then parted ways with Fenner.

But what she didn't notice was that Fen'er only showed a puzzled expression after she walked away.

"Hill...why do you look a little fatter than before? Didn't you say you had no money for food?"

Hill soon found a new job thanks to his good reputation among the neighbors. A kind neighbor told him that a new grocery store had just opened near the church and was recruiting smart salespeople. He suggested that Hill go over and take a look.

The most important thing is that the other party is not recruiting temporary workers but long-term formal employees, and the salary offered is five silver coins a month, and there is also a food allowance of ten copper coins a day.

Five silver coins, only two silver coins are enough for her and her uncle and aunt to have food for a month, let alone five silver coins.

Hill went straight to this company to apply for the job without thinking twice. Unexpectedly, she beat out other job seekers and was actually hired.

"Your name is Hill, right? You seem quite smart. From now on, you will be responsible for entertaining guests."

Hill raised his head cautiously and found that the man in front of him was very tall, even taller than the low-level swordsman's uncle.

But maybe it’s because my uncle has lost a lot of weight?

The owner had many scars on his face and fair skin, and he didn't look like a swordsman, but more like a noble. However, Hill felt that the owner's temperament was completely different from those nobles. At least she didn't notice that the owner liked to look down on people.

She quietly shifted her gaze. Next to the shop owner stood a young man who was half a head taller than the shop owner. He looked equally fair-skinned and taller. Standing next to the shop owner, he was obviously younger. Although he didn't look much like the shop owner, it might be because the shop owner had a scar on his face?

They should at least be cousins, like brothers or something, Hill thought with confidence, she had seen many such situations.

Rather than hiring all outsiders, people always prefer to hire someone close to them. Even if they have a bad record, they can always gain more trust.

"The main business of the store is to sell various materials. Of course, we also recycle all materials, including entire monsters."

Song Ning didn't pay much attention to the little girl's gaze. Compared to that, moving to Lionheart City gave him countless things to deal with, among which the most important thing was to quickly open his newly purchased store.

Lance did notice it, but he had no interest in arguing with the cub.

What's more, most of his attention was on Song Ning.

"Recover the entire monster?"

Hill had heard of such a place before, but, “Should I come to collect it?”

She looked confused and uneasy. "I don't think I can do this job sir."

Song Ning said "hmm", and Hill lowered his head with a sad heart.

Oh, it's such a pity that she might lose such a good first job because of her incompetence.

"You don't have to do this. Lance will take care of it."

After Song Ning finished speaking, he saw the child in front of him looking at him with bright eyes, and he subconsciously touched his cheek.

"Is there something on my face?"

Hill chuckled and spoke loudly.

"Yes sir, there is kindness!"

Song Ning: “…”

Fortunately, Hill quickly took the list he gave him and went to the side to recite it. Only then did Song Ning retract his complicated expression and turned to look at Lance.

"What do you think kids are thinking these days?"

Lance: "I'm not human, so I don't know."

Song Ning: “…”

Okay, none of them are easy to understand.

The new store was arranged in a week. Song Ning took some free time to let Hill look after the store first, and he took Lance to Lionheart City for a walk.

Lionheart City is a moderately prosperous city. There are many mid-to-high-level mercenaries coming and going here, and most of the people live a relatively wealthy life. Obviously, the security and development here are very good.

"According to Hill, there's a pretty good tailor shop at the corner of the street ahead. Let's go in and buy you some clothes."

Song Ning felt a little ashamed when talking about this. Although he always said that he raised a dragon, in fact, only at the beginning did this dragon require him to worry a little.

Not long after Long was able to change into human form, he basically didn't need to bother himself much, and could even take care of him in return.

So much so that Song Ning often forgets that the clothes Long is wearing now are either his old clothes or clothes made from Long's own scales. In short, they have to move to Lionheart City for development, so it's just the right time to buy Long ten or eight sets of clothes.

"Thank you, Ningning."

Of course Lance would not refuse. He followed Song Ning into the tailor shop and soon noticed the woman inside looking back and forth between him and Song Ning.

"This one is nice, I want it."

"This one is also good, I want it too."

Song Ning, who occasionally dressed up Long, was very excited. In addition, he made a lot of money from selling recovery potions, so he let Lance try on almost all the best and most gorgeous clothes in the store.

"Okay, I'll take all of these."

With a wave of his hand, Song Ning completely forgot that Long was rich now. He just felt that buying clothes for Long was his duty as a pet owner.

Lance didn't bother to correct or remind him. He calmly faced the woman's gaze, which went from suspicion to shock to sudden realization, and took the initiative to step forward and pick up all the packed clothes.

"Do you want to go around again?"

He asked thoughtfully.

Song Ning thought for a moment, then turned around and asked.

“Are there any good restaurants around here?”

The woman quickly recommended it to the VIP customer, "Not far ahead, you can see a white building. That's the best restaurant in Lionheart City, but..."

She hesitated.

Song Ning: "But what?"

The woman forced a smile, looked around, and whispered, "But people from the temple often go there. If you, the distinguished guest, want to go there, you must be careful not to offend them."

Song Ning's cheerful mood suddenly turned sour. He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Another temple?"
