Don't call me evil god

Chapter 145 I, Master Qinar, have hired them all!
As soon as these words came out.

Miranda's thoughts went blank for a moment.

"To die? You, you guys, why?"

She couldn't quite understand.

One of the "stand-ins" had a wrinkled face and looked to be in his sixties or seventies. He spoke sincerely:

"Your Mightiness."

"During the red tide two years ago, my village was unlucky and suffered. Although adventurers later helped to eliminate the monsters, the farmland was polluted and abandoned. I had no choice but to flee with my wife and four children. Fortunately, we still had some savings at home, and my family tightened their belts and barely made it through."

"Who would have known that during last year's red tide, the monsters would attack our village again."

"We used the last of our savings to buy seeds to resume farming, but the farmland was polluted again. This time we really have nothing left."

Having said this, the man suddenly started coughing painfully and his face turned pale.

Miranda hurriedly opened the Glorious Canon and cast a tier 2 spell [Relieve Disease] on the other party.

Spots of glow sprinkled down from the top of his head, and with the help of divine magic, the man's condition improved a lot.

He tried to kneel down to express his gratitude, but was stopped by Miranda.

"That's not necessary. This is what I should do."

The man swallowed and continued:

"Reverend Reverend, as you can see, I am actually ill."

"I have had this problem since the year before last. I got seriously ill when I was fleeing famine, and it has left a root of the disease. In the past two years, I have felt more and more unable to cope with it."

"I couldn't even support my four children in the refugee slum outside Ceylon, and they even needed me to take care of me when I was sick from time to time."

"It was Lord Xiwei who found me."

"When we signed the substitute contract, Lord Xiwei agreed with us that as long as we sign this contract, we can get 30 silver coins immediately!"

"If I unfortunately die in the Dark Forest, he will give the remaining 70 silver coins to my wife and children the next time he goes to recruit a new substitute."

"This amount of money is enough for my family to get through the difficult times and to buy enough food for planting."

"When the pollution dissipates in the winter, my second son will be an adult by then, and they can continue their lives by planting wheat."

"So... what I want now is for someone to hire me as soon as possible. Anyway, I probably won't live long."

"If I continue like this, I will suffer and my family will be dragged down by me."

"Why not, I can make some contribution to them in the end."

The man stood up from the ground with a hunched back and bowed deeply and sincerely to Miranda, Pete and the others.

"I know that's not a nice thing to say."

"But please believe me, Reverend Reverend and the other gentlemen, I will be very obedient and do whatever you ask me to do."

"Please hire me!"

……

"Here, the contract is here. You can take a look at its contents."

Hugo came into the house at some point and calmly handed a thin wooden stick to Miranda.

"Both parties sign the contract. Party A will pay 30 silver coins immediately. Party B must obey Party A's arrangements. Each time Party B is hired, he will receive 50% of the remuneration. If Party B dies due to the contract, Party A will pay 70 silver coins to the beneficiary designated by Party B."

"Party A: Hugo Seavey"

“Party B: (handprint)”

This is different from the "contracts" of other goblins, which are often dozens or even hundreds of pages long and contain countless textual loopholes that can be exploited by them.

The content of Hugo's contract was incredibly concise. It didn't even use a piece of parchment, but instead a piece of not very useful wooden strip.

The handwriting above is crooked like a dog's crawling.

Party B can't even sign and can only press his fingerprint to prove it.

Miranda seemed to have something blocking her throat and couldn't speak.

This was not what she expected.

Seeing Hugo Sivi's cunning and shrewd appearance, she thought that he was like Cunning Shadow Crushed Stone in Green Harbor, who only made all kinds of promises but actually had no intention of fulfilling them, and used similar methods to trick others into working for him.

But Hugo is different from the goblins of Greenport. Rather than asking the refugees who signed the contract to die in the Dark Forest to make money for him.

Rather, he was in fact giving these refugees, who knew they were dying, a final chance to contribute to their families.

Miranda's eyes flickered over the people in the room.

[The Secrets of All Things Revealed] Under the divine power, everyone's status is revealed.

"Disease (severe)"

"Disease (serious)"

"Disease (severe)"

"..."

Even the one with the mildest condition still has the reminder of "disease (moderate)", and the words "worsening" are added at the end.

In addition, everyone's status bar has a common special status:
"expect."

Miranda didn't know what to say for a moment.

With so many refugees in need of help, why didn't the Church of the Light help them out of their difficulties?
Why can't the nobles and professionals of Ceylon donate to provide some relief?
Obviously, if you only take out a few dozen silver coins, you can help a large number of people.

They are all very wealthy, and they all claim to believe in the God of Light, to be blessed by the gods, and to be willing to follow the teachings of Light.

But we can hardly see their actions.

In order to earn 1 gold coin for their families, these people are now even willing to sign a substitute contract.

"You all said that you are not afraid of death and you will do whatever you are told to do, right?"

Just when Miranda was confused, Pete's steady voice rang out in the dim room.

A group of "stand-ins" nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, my lord!"

"We promise to be obedient!"

"Even though we are sick, it won't affect our operations! We can clear the way, conduct reconnaissance, stand guard, act as bait, etc.!"

Pete folded his arms across his chest and spoke again to confirm:

"Even if you can never come back after leaving the kingdom's borders, you're willing to do that, right?"

"Correct!"

"We do!"

Three times confirmed:

"You might even be contaminated by the power of the evil god, aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

Pete's eyes swept across the eager gazes of everyone in the room, and he waved his hand violently:
"Okay! In that case!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you!"

"Next, my companions and I will go deep into the dark forest to explore a very, very dangerous place. We really need many people who are not afraid of death to scout the way for us!"

"Hugo!"

"Hey! Sir! I'm here!" Hugo, who was standing next to him with a surprised look on his face, answered quickly.

"Settle the account for me!"

"Hurry up and calculate!"

"Master Qinar has hired all of these people in the room today, and not one of them can be missing!"
