Chapter 62 - Recruitment in Pameres Kingdom

"Do you think that the Electus would actually be willing to help you? Nothing would stop him from destroying Pameres Kingdom if he arrived here."

Said Seer in confusion.

"Indeed he is powerful. But considering the fact that he didn't cause any havoc at any other Kingdom before, what he did on Crutal Kingdom was surely due to an outburst.

Now he can't even kill 50 armed Guards without passing out because of his stamina."

"Our sources say that he created Fire Tornadoes in Crutal Kingdom. Why would he be stoppable now?"

"See before the outburst, an Electus would likely discover his or her powers first. The outburst is a test.

That test pushes a soul to the very limit. During that test, the kid could of exploded while bursting those intense flames.

He seemed to have passed the test.

Passing the test would grant him with a level at Fire Controlling for example, that he didn't need to train for."

"Very interesting indeed. How do you know so much about the Electus sire?"

"My father is an Electus you Goblin head.

He is a more powerful and unstable version of an Electus. Not to mention he carries the "Bloodline's Curse.""

He said in a bit of an irritated tone and added.

"Anyway. I have a task for you. If you are still standing by my side that is."

"Sire. I owe deep apologies to the 300 Ignite refugees in our Kingdom. I'll be sure to apologize to each one.

What task do you have for me?"

"This pleases my ears Seer.

You see how our Kingdom is greatly overpopulated.

We have 300 houses but people are sleeping on the streets even though many made their way in families and became one with them."

"There are approximately 500 homeless people sire. A lot of them camp out of the Kingdom's protection."

"Exactly. There are way to many homeless people. I plan to give those people homes. They won't need to pay for those homes either. All they would need to pay a monthly tax after they officially get a job in or out of the Kingdom."

"Providing homes for so many people would be a great shift in the budget sire.

Not to mention we don't have nearly enough construction workers. You said you want to build a second wall as well.

We need Stonemasons for that. We barely have any of those."

"I'm aware that we currently don't have what it takes to provide so much housing or a second wall to our people.

But there are 500 jobless people wasting time here and there and we have 50 people skilled in construction, and 10 stone masons.

If we take a slow approach, we can make this happen bit my bit."

"Do you want me to spread the word for recruitment sire?"

"Yes. Write a paper and pay some people to spread the word of mouth.

Say "The King, is offering jobs for Construction Workers and Stone Masons."

"Is that all sire?"

"Not at all.

Stonemasonry is a rare valuable craft. A Stone Mason with over 10 years of experience, shall be paid 300 Gold coins per month, those with under 10 years of experience shall be payed 200 Gold coins a month and those who have no experience at all but want to learn the craft shall be payed 85 gold coins per month with a 10 coin increase every year until they reach the salary of a normal StoneMason."

"I'm able to memorize all of that I think. Is there anything more about the StoneMasons?"

"Make sure for the payment details to be part of the declaration paper and make it mandatory for the applyers to be at least 16 years old and under 65 years old."

He stopped, thought for a little bit and then said

"I need 30 new StoneMasons. Don't exceed that number for now. "

"Is it wise to pay so much gold to StoneMasons sire? Even i as your assistant get 500 gold coins.

If this goes on, farmers will get as much as War Generals(700 Gold Coins)."

"If we lure people to try out the craft and get very experienced at it, we can build bigger better walls.

Not to mention we will have more skilled people instead of helpless homeless people or just dumbass ill.u.s.tratios wasting households.

Knowledge is power my friend."

"You do have a point sire."

Seer felt a little ease. Because after a decade of work, he was called "My friend" by the King himself.

Zar was nothing but a child when he gained the throne. It was Seer who helped him rule the Kingdom. Seer molded him into a worthy King.

"But what about the Construction workers?"

Seer asked in curiosity and with greater enthusiasm this time.

"Construction workers will have it easier to learn the craft. But it doesn't rule out the fact that it requires good physical strength.

The applyers who are experienceless would need to be at least 18 years old and those who do have experience should be under 60 years old."

"Sounds reasonable enough? But may i ask about the monthly salaries?"

"Those with over 5 years of experience shall be paid 200 gold coins per month.

Those with under 5 years of experience shall be paid 160 gold coins and those who have no experience at all shall be paid 70 Gold Coins a month with a 10 gold coin increase every 6 months until they reach the same salary as a normal Construction Worker."

"I assume those are all the requirements?"

"Almost there!

Both Construction Workers and StoneMasons will have a full time job, meaning those who do have under 10 or 5 years of experience, shall have at least 1 year of experience to be told apart from the experienceless.

I need only 80 construction workers. Don't exceed that amount."

He stopped, took a breath again and said

"Are you able to memorize all of that Seer?

"Of course not. That's why i'm writing!
