lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
Crowen is not a good thing. Memira’s father, who is from a very poor family, is always drunk, and he often pulls his hands on Memmy. He was ignorant when he was young. When he was ten years old, he knew a little After the men's and women's affairs, Memira gritted her teeth with hatred of Kraun.
His son Miller is not a good thing either. The father and son are just as lustful and have no ability at all. They wander around in Evra all day, trying to marry Memira.
Memela will live with this kind of man forever unless she is stupid.
Looking at Kraun carrying her father out of the tavern, Mamilla gave a light spit at the hypocritical beard, and then another sigh. There were five glasses of ale on the table that were drunk by the two, seven in one cup. Copper coins. Thirty-five copper coins are almost Memira's two days' wages plus tips.
The mood was a little uncomfortable, but Memira hid the sadness in her heart, and began to clean up the table. This is her job.
The noodle pot at home is empty, and the drunk father can’t count on it. Memira still has to consider eating for the next three days, because she will pay her father’s alcohol debt after three days. Her family can only eat black bread in August.
These three days are difficult three days. The savvy tavern owner will not pay his employees a day in advance. If you don’t want to starve to death, Memira needs to serve every customer with all his might. There will be tips for extravagance. Reward.
If you don't even have a tip, Memira will have to ask the fat guy who is disgusting at the back cook of the tavern, because there are always some leftovers in the tavern, which are usually recycled and fed to pigs. If it is leftovers that day, it will not be broken, and Memira can take it back. This will be her and her father’s dinner.
The premise is that the fat man agrees and no one reports to the boss.
For the sisters who work with me, Memira is trustworthy. The only thing is that the fat chef is a bit difficult to deal with. The fat chef has a common problem with all men, and that is lust.
The older she grows, the more she believes that **** is the essence of men, because all the men she meets around her are like this.
I was still thinking about how to beg the fat man to give me some food, but Memila didn't notice a group of uninvited guests outside.
"Memira, I'm looking for you." The sister's weak voice came from the counter, which was full of timidity and fear.
These people at the door are not easy to mess with.
There are six big guys. These six big guys dare not block the door. Not to mention how hard the backstage of the tavern owner is. The adventurers that may exist in the tavern are not something the six ordinary people can provoke.
They came to find Memira.
"Memela, should you pay the interest on the money your family owes this month?" The headed man is a man with a scar on his face. His scar is said to be related to other underground areas on this street. What the gangs left behind when they were fighting is a testament to his bravery.
"Isn't it normal that the interest will be paid in four days? As soon as my wages are paid, it will be given to you immediately." Memira whispered when she walked out of the tavern.
The money her family owed was not caused by her father’s alcoholism, but the money she asked the doctor to owe when her mother fell ill and died. After so many years, Ligunli has reached a terrible figure that his father can’t count on. , All these money need to be repaid by Memira.
Of course, the headed man knows that the repayment date is four days later. He said this is just a routine practice. Every month, he will be assigned by the boss to call all the people who owe them usury to come to ‘remind’.
"Can't you pay it back in advance! You pigs!"
"Yes, every time I have to pay the interest at the end of the month, I don't have any spare money to drink and find women!"
"Memela, I think you still have to follow our boss, Wally. If you have a boss to support you, you don't need to worry about repaying the interest."
"..."
The people who said these words were all the little brothers of the leading man. Every time they came to collect money, these scum would humiliate the debtor, and they didn't have the quality of pitying and cherishing jade.
The leader pressed his hand down and signaled not to make a noise. He is 28 years old this year. He has been fighting in the underground underworld of Evra for more than ten years. He didn't stop his hand until five years ago and gave the boss a start. Debt, this kind of idle job, now that even his son is three and a half years old, how can he think of a yellow-haired girl like Memila.
Even if he is fancy, he is not interested in taking on the debts of Memira’s family. Not all gangsters are bad guys. Sometimes they can't help themselves. They sighed silently, and the leader said to Memira in a deep voice. Said, "The interest will be paid in four days, don't forget! Two silver coins, I will let Hal come to you to ask for it."
"Yes, thank you Brother Wally!" A tear was drawn from the corner of Memira's eyes, but she still bent down and thanked the strong man.
Shaking his head, instead of standing at the entrance of the tavern to hinder others from doing business, Wally took his five little brothers and walked towards the next house.
Memira is very bitter. If it was just her father who was drinking, she would not be there. At least she and her father could survive starvation, but the debt that the family owed was a big problem.
Even if Memira has worked all his life, I'm afraid he can't pay the debt. If his father doesn't drink too much, it will be fine, then there is hope, but...
Memila thought that after so many years of suffering, she had learned to endure and would not cry anymore, but the tears in the corner of her eyes were not fake, and the faint salty fish fell into her mouth. Mira hurriedly wiped away her tears and ran back to the store. It is her working time now.
Memira’s eyes are still a little red and swollen, and the sister at the counter is uncomfortable when she sees it, "Go entertain the guest, Vannie is here, and I will ask her to help you temporarily as a waiter. "
"Thank you, Ruby." Memira's voice was choked.
Although the position of the waiter in front of the door allows them to avoid the mist and harassment of the guests in the tavern, the girls who work here are more willing to do the hospitality work in the tavern if they can choose.
Because I occasionally encounter particularly outrageous guests, they will give some tips to the waiters who entertain them. If the guests order more expensive wine, they can get some commissions.
Memila hopes that she can entertain adventurers in the future, because adventurers are often generous. If they are noble summoners and knights, it would be better. The least thing these people have is money.
If there were no adventurers, wealthy businessmen would do, but they would be squeezed a little bit. For the sake of making a living, Memira would have looked down on everything.
It is impossible for aristocrats to come to this tavern to drink, although this tavern called Rose Flower is also considered a mid-to-high-end tavern in Evra.
Taking the menu to the customer, Memira only noticed that the customer seemed to be the one she had introduced earlier.
Then Memira's eyes lit up. Because of years of professional experience, Memira could see that Locke was not an ordinary civilian.
