Cheater: Second Sky Adventure

76. Finished Development.

Leo was curious about the person Jack was referring to.

"who's he?"

Jack came closer to Leo's ear and whispered.

"brother of duke Artim!"

Leo was shocked to hear the name of a Duke noble. Leo thinks the guy Jack recommends is a regular guy. But even from the Duke family. There's no way Leo can recruit him.

"you're how! Where could I possibly hire a member of the Duke family."

"it seems like the master has not known his circumstances. If you know, it must be easy if you want to recruit him."

Jack was confident about it.

Leo became curious about the situation of Duke Artim's family as Jack had said.

"so, what's the situation?"

Jack explained about the situation from Duke Artim's younger brother.

"her name is Riana. Although he was the younger brother of Duke Artim, he was not a legitimate member of the family."

"why is that?" Leos.

"that's because Riana is an out-of-wedlock child. With the same father as Duke Artim. But with the mother of a servant in the house. So he was taken care of by the Artim family as a servant as well. Not as a family member.

But he has pretty good intelligence. Even above average. And what he mastered the most was the science of administration."

Leo thought back to this opportunity. But he realized something.

" wait! How do you know he can take care of administration? "

Leo was curious about the origin of Jack's information.

Jack did not answer. He looked around for a moment and came closer to Leo's ear. As if this information is confidential.

"actually, Riana is my ex-boyfriend!"

"what!" Leo unintentionally shouted.

He does not expect that Jack has a relationship with Riana. The brother of Duke Artim.

Hearing Leo scream, Jack immediately shut Leo's mouth so as not to let go of the conversation.

Leo tried to rebel to take Jack's hand off his face.

But because Jack is more mature, Leo cannot let go of Jack's hand without using mana.

"please don't spread this news. If other people knew, then I would not be able to show the face to others. What else if you tell those two women."

The women Jack was referring to were Elena and Sylf. Because they are the type of women who are always interested in other people's romantic relationships.

Leo nodded in understanding. Jack took his hand out of Leo's mouth.

Leo set his breath to calm down.

"huh... What did you just hold? Why is it so stinky?"

"ahaha.. I'm sorry!"

Jack laughed awkwardly at Leo's words.

Then Leo left. But paused to ask Jack something.

"By the way, what date is today?"

Jack thought for a moment and answered.

"it should be July 7, 100. What's up?"

Jack was curious why Leo asked about the date.

"it's nothing!"

Leo left while thinking about something.

'july '7th.. One more month I'll have a birthday. It didn't feel like I was born again for 11 years. But even though I was born again, I couldn't enjoy childhood at all. My soul probably grew up from the beginning. It is true the saying. Youth only happens once. '

One month passed. The construction of the city is almost finished. Even the iron, wood, and cloth industrial areas are already in operation. The area of the population is also almost finished in the wake.

The military zone is still in preparation. Elena had also already brought along a large number of slaves.

Together with Leo and Phinix who will do the plan of giving work to the citizens who are newly free from slave status.

Leo stood in front of the new townspeople to make an announcement.

"good afternoon everyone! Today is like my promise! You have been freed from your status as slaves. And now you are free citizens and official citizens of this city.

I would like to express my gratitude for building this city for the better. Were it not for your help, I would never have managed to change anything.

So today I'm going to make an important announcement.

First one! The residence office has opened and all of you must register as official citizens. Also to get a job with a suitable salary.

Not just that. For today and beyond, you will not get food aid from us. So you have to sign up for a job and get a salary to get food.

You can buy it at the official store. Of course, with a price that has been set in accordance with per capita income.

More specifically, you can ask directly to the officer in the residence office.

So I congratulate you because you're free"

Leo ended his speech with congratulations.

After that, the voices of the people sounded crowded.

Suasan became delighted with the announcement of their freedom from slavery.

"live lord Leonardo!" a man shouted with passion.

Followed by other citizens.

"live lord Leonardo!"

Their cries became a passion for Leo. He promised to develop and enrich his people.

Leo got off the stage and the citizens gradually dispersed.

Leo returned to his long-prepared residence.

While the citizens go to the office of the population.

In the residence office, Elena and Sylf were on duty to do the data. Two rows of queues extended out of the office. Even to the city streets.

"hey! What kind of job do you want?" one resident asked the other citizens who were in front of him.

"he said there was an opening for the military! So I want to enlist in the army. What else the leader of the army of this city was an S rank adventurer. Master Jack!"

"really? It seems like I will also be enlisting as a soldier as well. I hear the monthly salary is quite large. Even you'll get a bonus in some cases."

"we better ask the officer directly. I'm getting impatient.

Then the sound of the cries of the citizens shocked everyone.

" what! We also got a place to stay! "

Those citizens are dealing with Elena on duty today.

" right! As workers in this city, you get an initial capital.2 gold coins, cooking utensils, food, and shelter.

But it needs to be remembered. For residence, you must pay in installments. Because this month you are not taxed. House taxes and installments begin next month.

With a total of 2 silver coins each month. But if you save, you can immediately pay off the house with a total of 120 gold coins. So you can pay it off in 5 years.

For his big tax. 2% of income."

Elena's explanation took the citizens by surprise.

" so, what's my monthly salary?" the man asked about his salary.

" you signed up as a builder. So your salary is 1 gold coin every month. "

The resident was very surprised to hear his monthly salary. He did not expect that he could get 1 gold coin in one month. It's like a dream come true.

Elena finished recording the data and she handed the card to the Kenji townspeople.

Then Elena asked the residents to provide fingerprints as an introduction.

After that Elena gave 2 gold coins and a key that was specially designed by the wood craftsmen.

"for food and cooking utensils are already in their respective residences."

The citizen received 2 gold coins and keys with a feeling of happiness. He even shed tears.
