Chapter 1120
We finished with everyone’s introductions
“My name is Faige. While I am not the most athletic, I hope to be useful with my knowledge about spreading herbs.”
He was someone who was better at using his mind, rather than manual labor. Number 3 during the interview… A twenty-eight year old man of average height and build.
Aside from him, there was number 4, Ms. Ura. A middle-aged woman who appeared very motherly.
Number 9 was Ms. Korint. She was 23 and had been interested in marriage prospects in the village.
Mr. Anor was number 17, and the same age as Keith at 25. He was very thin, and looked more like an office worker than a field worker. In fact, he was good with calculations, so I wanted him to handle finances with Keith.
“Excuse me. Can I ask one question?”
“Yes, what is it? Mr. Anor.”
“I am glad that you remember my name.”
After introductions were finished, we were about to move on, but Mr. Anor raised his hand. I remembered him due to the number of times I had read through the list. Still, I was happy that I did.“Previously, in regards to making the herbs in the fields, you said the number and types would not be a problem. But with this many workers, you are going to pay us wages higher than most jobs. And the field is going to be made in a distant village. Will everything really be alright?”
He was concerned about profits and whether we would really be able ship out as much as we claimed.
I had been going to explain this to them.
“As I said before, it is not a problem. Especially in terms of types and quality.”
“As a representative of house Liebert, I can guarantee it as well.”
“Lady Claier… Well, I am sure that it is true then… But as for the quality, can it be guaranteed at this very moment?”
Claire declared after me.
Up until now, everything I had made with Weed Cultivation had been above average quality.
However, for people who did not know, it would seem like we were going to make the herbs ourselves. So depending on management and how they were raised, the quality could change.
Even if the duke’s house was backing it, it would be difficult to trust us completely.
“Indeed…before I speak on that… Mr. Alfred?”
There was another thing I needed to tell them before talking about the Gift.
However, it was best if Alfred did it.
“Yes. Very well, then. All of you have agreed to being hired. And so…we can discuss the matter that Mr. Anor is concerned about. However, as this is a confidential matter, we must ask you to refrain from telling others about it.”
“So we cannot tell anyone?”
“Exactly. Of course, there will be no penalties, but… Well, if it is determined that someone is speaking too much, we might have to consider something. Just think about how your salary may be tied to your silence.”
“Thank you, Alfred. Uh…well, let’s not waste any more time. I have a Gift. It is called Weed Cultivation. To put it bluntly, I can create plants in a flash.”
“Gi-Gift…?”
“Brother, you really are amazing. Wait…what is a Gift?”
There were two kinds of reactions.
People who knew what it was and who were astonished.
And people like Nick, who were puzzled at what I was talking about…
