Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 313 Mister Fool, are you considering changing to a new job?

Puning Harbor.

Hastur, who had been waiting patiently, finally waited for the visit from Grestel and Klein.

When he saw Klein, he had a happy smile on his face, "Mr. Klein, I didn't expect that we would meet in such a small port in South Wales."

"Earl Campbell, I didn't expect this to happen to be your territory."

"You still call me Mr. Hastur, it sounds better."

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, Hastur invited them to sit down and drink tea, and then looked at Grester, "Are you here for the announcement and the news in the newspaper?"

"The church asked me to thank Earl Campbell for his help this time. Without your intervention, they would not have been able to get out of the predicament so quickly and return to Backlund." Grestad's words seemed to mean something.

Hastur deliberately ignored the speculation in his words, and said with a smile: "I am only providing help within my ability. They are tourists who have come from afar from Backlund, and they are also my fellow countrymen. Naturally, I should do my best."

Greystel smiled and said, "It's their luck to meet Earl Campbell."

Hastur also smiled and said: "It is also my luck that you are here, but it is a pity that Leonard is not here."

"He has returned to Backlund."

"Hey, he left without even saying hello to me. Next time I go back to Backlund, I have to have a good chat with him."

The three of them talked quite harmoniously, and Hastur naturally brought the topic to Klein after they finished talking about the business.

"Mr. Klein, what is your job now?"

"Helping the church handle some matters is considered a non-staff member of the church and also works in a security company." Klein replied naturally.

Yes, the apparent identity of their Nighthawk team in Backlund is still a security company.

Hastur nodded, pretending to ask unintentionally: "You look more like a university teacher with a bookish atmosphere. I always thought you were working in a certain university."

"I'm just working as a clerical job in a security company, looking for some information and processing some documents on weekdays."

Hasta narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Forgive me for asking, how much weekly salary can the civilian staff of the security company get?"

"5 pounds and 10 soli, six days a week, four days of vacation a month, the work is quite easy."

Klein answered this question very seriously, but he added in his heart: "To be exact, my current weekly salary is exactly 12 pounds. This does not include the overtime expenses and some rent subsidies and work benefits on weekdays. The total monthly income is close to 60 gold pounds, plus the year-end bonus for a year, the annual salary can be close to 800 gold pounds!"

This is still last month, and in another month or two, his salary level will continue to rise. Next year, he can have a weekly salary of at least 20 gold pounds, and his annual income is expected to break through the 1000 gold mark!
With such an income, even in a place like Backlund with a high standard of living, he could still live a fairly decent life.

At least you can eat beef brisket stewed potatoes every day and buy a small cake for Melissa.

"Hey, why is there only such a small weekly salary?" Hasta's slightly shocked words attracted the attention of Greystadt and Klein, and he explained: "I have always been optimistic about Mr. Klein, and I think he is fully qualified to receive Compensation commensurate with his ability."

"The most basic monthly salary should be more than 100 gold pounds!"

Hastur offered a salary far higher than Klein's weekly salary of 5 pounds 10 soli.

Klein was slightly stunned, a little dazed, this feeling of being favored by others is really weird.

The monthly salary is 100 gold pounds, which is equivalent to twice his current salary.

In Backlund, jobs with an annual salary of more than 1200 gold pounds are basically in the financial industry such as banking.

Is his ability to work so valuable?
Greystel next to her smelled something different. Could this Earl of Campbell be trying to pry into the corner of their Evernight Goddess Church?
Want to lure Klein to work for him with a high salary?
Sure enough, his worries came true in the next moment.

"Has Mr. Klein considered changing jobs?"

"..."

Klein looked at Hastur in front of him with a look of surprise. He really didn't understand which aspect of Hastur he valued.

"If you are willing to leave Backlund and come to South Wales to help me with things, I can pay you 200 gold pounds a month, no, 300 gold pounds." Hasta tried his best to give Klein a reward. An irresistible high salary.

A monthly salary of 300 gold pounds?

That would be 4200 gold pounds a year!

With the rich and powerful Earl Hasta Campbell's style, there will definitely be other incomes, and the annual income may exceed the 5000 gold mark!
I only need to work here for a few years before I can go back to Backlund and buy a big house of my own.

Maybe there is still some money left over to buy a farm and be a freelance farmer.

Klein silently calculated an account in his heart, and couldn't help feeling that this was an irresistible temptation.

Based on his knowledge of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, even Archbishop Anthony of St. Samuel's Church did not earn more than 5000 gold pounds a year.

Of course, the rights represented by that position are the most important, and how much money you can make a year is no longer a consideration.

Klein, who was silent for a while, smiled wryly, "Mr. Hastur is really flattering you. I don't think I can handle such a high-paying job with my abilities."

"Ability is only one aspect. Personality is also a plus for me. I really don't think you should stay in Backlund as an ordinary clerk in a security company. That's too condescending. You are more suitable to come out and make a living. one time."

Klein admitted that he was tempted, but still chose to refuse.

He is quite satisfied with this job now, and staying in the Nighthawks team is equivalent to staying in the system, at least to ensure income in drought and flood.

If you choose to work here, it depends on the face of the Earl of Hasta Campbell. Once you are fired if you don’t like it, or you are forced to be laid off in middle age, there is no guarantee for the future.

What's more, there are extraordinary factors in this world, and staying in the Church of the Evernight Goddess is more suitable for him to display his abilities.

"What a pity." Hasta showed an obvious disappointed expression on his face, and then asked Klein to send a message to Leonard, asking him if he would like to come to South Wales.

"I will convey your kindness to Leonard." Klein accepted the entrustment with a message.

Hastur sighed, "Oh, I'm in a lot of waste here, and I really lack trustworthy people to help."

"It's getting late, we've been disturbed for a long time, and it's time to leave."

Greystadt offered to leave, he was afraid that if the conversation continued, the Earl of Hastur Campbell would set his sights on himself.

"Stay here to have a meal together at night, and let me do my landlord's friendship."

Facing Hastur's gracious invitation, both Grestai and Klein chose to decline.

Greystadt didn't want to chat anymore, Klein felt that it was heartbreaking to reject such a large sum of money, or it was because he couldn't see it.

After sending the two away, Hastur laughed.

The expression on Klein's face just now was very interesting. When he threw out the olive branch, he was moved at least for a moment, and he might have silently settled an account in his heart.

"It's a pity, Mr. Fool just refuses to change jobs for a new job."

Hasta still felt a little pity. If Klein was kept by his side and used money to stimulate the poor god from time to time, it would definitely be a very interesting thing.

He suddenly thought of Miss Audrey back then. When he was in the most difficult financial situation, Audrey also took pleasure in his poverty.

"Suddenly I miss Backlund's life."

……

On the street, Greystadt and Klein walked slowly, and the two recovered their mood a little.

Greystad joked with a smile: "Tsk tsk, the monthly salary is 300 gold pounds. This is an extremely well-paid job. Even in Backlund, it is difficult to find such a good salary. Exciting?"

There may be an income of 5000 gold pounds a year, do you think I am not tempted?
After a few years of work, you can buy a big house in Backlund, and buy a farm as a landlord. Do you think I look like someone who is not short of money?
Klein really wanted to say a few words to Greystadt, but he quickly restrained the bleeding in his heart and said with a smile: "I still prefer to stay in Backlund, even though the weather there is far worse than here."

Gresta laughed twice, and said with a little fear: "Fortunately, you didn't agree to stay here to work, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to the church."

Klein thought for a while and said, "Perhaps you can suggest that the church give me a little more salary increase, which will give me more resistance in the face of temptation."

"It's a very reasonable suggestion. I will mention it to Archbishop Anthony after I go back."

"Can you stop saying I suggested it?"

"Of course, this is entirely my own opinion."

The two laughed and chatted for a while, and when they returned to the gate outside the residence, their footsteps stopped suddenly, and at the same time they remembered another thing.

After what happened today, how should they investigate this Earl of Hasta Campbell?

No matter in which aspect, they have no evidence that the other party may have problems, but there is no substantive evidence. An earl is still very valuable.
