Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 193 Recruitment
The arrival of the green lizard apprentice made John, who had been in charge of farm work, a little nervous.

To be honest, John really didn't expect that this day would come.

Looking at the green lizards in front of him, John felt a headache. How could he teach them when they couldn't even speak the same language? The high elves who came to learn at least had already mastered the "Common Language of the Empire" and had no problem communicating at the most basic level.

"Do you understand?"

John asked and waved his hand in front of the green lizards, trying to attract their attention.

"Fizz!"

The lizard people chattered, as if they understood, but also as if they didn't understand. In any case, John didn't understand a word.

"What the hell is this?!"

John just feels that his head is bigger than two. How can you ask him to teach this?
"Hiss! Here I come!"

Just when John was feeling overwhelmed, Slaco came over. This matter definitely couldn't be done without him, so he could be responsible for the translation.

"It's all right as long as you're here. Where did you go just now?"

John felt relieved when he saw Slaco appear. He was familiar with Slaco, and this guy was very good at the "Imperial Common Language".

"Hiss~ Don't mention it. I went to find Banju. I wanted her to do it for me, but she didn't want to, so I had to do it myself."

Slaco stuck out his tongue and explained why he came so late.

"Hanju? Oh, the foreign language teacher, right?"

John actually knew the name that Slaco mentioned. After all, Banju was the first stranger to appear in the camp, and he is still very active. He has a language school in "Wangbo Port" and a position in the government.

"Hiss~ Yes, it's her. She said she's very busy and has no time to help."

Slaco shook his head regretfully. If the other party was unwilling to help, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't force them to help, right?

"She actually knows the lizardman language?"

John was surprised. He thought it was outrageous. Could humans actually learn the language of these lizardmen?!
John looked at the hissing lizardmen again and felt that the strangers were so terrifying. How could anyone be able to make out the specific meaning of these chaotic cries?
"Hiss~ She is really amazing."

Slaco answered, he probably understood that the language of the lizard people was very difficult for humans.

It’s not that there aren’t others who are curious and want to try to learn it, but no one has succeeded. It is much more difficult than for them, the Lizardmen, to learn the “Common Language of the Empire”.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry up and learn."

The two chatted for a few sentences and turned their attention back. What John had to do was very simple, which was to pass on the agricultural production technology of "Wangbo Port" to these lizardmen so that they could go back and farm, and they could also have the same high yield as "Wangbo Port".

Of course, John had no idea whether he could succeed. After all, he couldn't guarantee whether these lizardmen could do it.

"Hiss! Come on, come on!"

Unlike John, Slaco is full of confidence. He doesn't think there is anything impossible. If humans can do it, they, the lizardmen, can definitely do it. Green lizards are very smart!
Facts have proved that Slaco's idea was not wrong. The green lizards are indeed very smart. They have strong learning ability and learn quickly. It didn't take long for them to master what John taught them. At least they have successfully mastered the use of the heavy plow and understood the "salt screening method" to select seeds.

All in all, it took John just over a week to train these lizardmen properly. During this week, they worked continuously in the fields and basically went through the entire process several times.

"Hiss~ It's not that difficult."

Slaco followed the whole process and found it very simple, simpler than he thought. He just needed to pay special attention to details.

In fact, it is really simple. It is just farming. Once you master the tricks and practice it a few times, you will basically be able to do it.

It's not like they were asked to do any technical research. As long as they could grow crops, they would be considered successful. If it were in the past, it would be even simpler. They would just sow the seeds and wait for the harvest.

After the reform of planting and production technology, this is no longer a problem. During the entire planting process, we must pay more attention to farmland and solve problems that may affect grain production.

"Hiss! Can we go back now?"

After completing the study, Slaco immediately wanted to take his people back.

There was no way. After only a few days, the green lizards had already fallen in love with "Wangbo Port" and the food here. The food in "Wangbo Port" was much better than the food they had over there.

To be honest, Slaco really has no way to deal with this, because even among his old subordinates, some are still thinking about returning to "Wangbo Port" to take up a position.

In their perception, "Wangbo Port" was obviously a good place. At least the food they ate was cooked by human chefs and tasted very good, which was not comparable to the food of the lizardmen at all.

The Lizardmen's "cuisine" focuses on "restoring the original flavor of the ingredients." To put it bluntly, it is half-cooked. Those nomadic tribes still eat it raw.

"You can go now. You've completed your apprenticeship. If you encounter any problems during the actual operation, you can send someone to contact me. We will do our best to solve the problem for you."

John made a decision. He thought he could let these lizardmen go back and give it a try. Whether it would work, how far they could go, and what the final result would be, all needed to be seen after taking the first step. If the result was poor, he could just try again with the next batch.

If they don't do it themselves and don't truly manage a piece of farmland by themselves, it will certainly be difficult for them to understand the true meaning of it.

Slaco was very happy to be able to go back, because he would be able to meet Zandata after returning, and he had completed the mission perfectly.

Of course, Slaco personally prefers life in "Port Wangbo". If Zandata had not insisted on staying in the obsidian mine, he would definitely choose to live in "Port Wangbo" with Zandata.

"Hi! Great! By the way, can we hire a chef to go with us?"

Slaco was happy to hear that he could go back, but he could also feel that the other lizardmen were not so happy. It was obvious that they had been successfully "corrupted" by "Wangbo Port".

"Well, that's your business."

John was stunned for a moment. He thought that hiring a cook didn't require his permission, as it was not within his authority.

As long as it is reasonable and legal, without coercion or intimidation, and both parties cooperate voluntarily, even Uther cannot stop them from hiring a chef.

They are all family members, so it is difficult for Uther to stop them. Of course, the premise is that the hired chefs really go there voluntarily.

The reason why this point is emphasized is naturally because no one thinks that anyone would voluntarily go there. That is the city of the Lizardmen, the territory of the Lizardmen, and it is full of Lizardmen. If the chef goes there himself, he will go from the majority to the minority.

In Wangbo Harbor, a few lizardmen among a group of humans would only excite curiosity; the lizardmen were the ones to be feared. But in the Obsidian Mine, the situation was completely reversed. Who would dare to go there alone? If a lizardman devoured someone, there would be no justice, and there would likely be no revenge. The lizardmen would just make up a random excuse, saying they were eaten by some wild beast, and no one would be able to prove who had eaten them.

Although thinking this way may hurt the feelings of the lizard people, it is undeniable that most humans have this concern.

Therefore, Slaco's action of recruiting cooks was very difficult and he encountered many setbacks.

"Hiss~ It seems that it won't work."

Slaco was a little discouraged. He was standing near the bulletin board. The four lizardmen beside him were holding a recruitment sign with the salary listed on it. Just for the profession of chef, the salary offered by Slaco was definitely very generous.

So actually quite a few people stopped, but after seeing the workplace clearly, everyone left without hesitation.

"Work location: Obsidian mine."

This condition left the people of Wangbo Port dumbfounded. How desperate could they be to work as cooks in a lizardman mining area? There wasn't a single decent human there!
"What's going on with these lizardmen? Isn't that the lizardmen leader, Slako? Are they recruiting people? Who are they recruiting?"

Slaco's public recruitment here naturally attracted the attention of the players, and everyone came forward to take a look out of curiosity.

"Cook? Obsidian mine? Wow!"

[Brother Kong is kind and righteous] After seeing it, he exclaimed "Wow", he was shocked by the salary and benefits. This treatment is indeed a bit exaggerated, at least three times higher than the chef of "Wangbo Port".

"Oh my god, can I go?!"

[Meng Ge Yi Qie Ren] took a look and also exclaimed, he was a little tempted, this is definitely a good job!
"Brother Meng, do you also know this?"

[Kong Ge is kind and righteous] He looked at his companion beside him in surprise. When did he start practicing? Didn't he not know how to do it before?
"Ahem, I don't know how to do it, but I can learn it now!"

[Meng Ge is righteous and kind] He coughed twice. He really couldn't cook, but it shouldn't be difficult. It wouldn't be impossible for him to learn it for the job.

"We don't know each other well, so you'd better not go. I'm afraid you'll be eaten by the lizardmen because of your terrible cooking!"

[Kong Ge is kind and righteous] He complained that if you don’t have the skills, don’t take on the job, otherwise you will definitely be in trouble.

"Hiss, strangers, are you coming?"

Seeing two strangers chattering in front of him, Slaco took the initiative to greet them. He could not understand the strangers' language and had no motivation to learn. He could only hope that these strangers could also speak the "common language of the empire", otherwise there would be no way to communicate.

"Oh no, the plot has been triggered, but I don't understand it!"

Slaco's sudden talk startled Kong Ge Ren Qie Yi. It was obvious that he was a poor student and his command of the "Common Language of the Empire" was not up to standard.

"I've been telling you to listen carefully in class. Now you're dumbfounded, right? It all depends on me. He asked if we wanted to do this job."

[Meng Ge Yi Qie Ren] on the side is obviously different. He is a top student and has mastered the "Imperial Common Language" very well. At least daily communication is no problem. After all, it has been some time since he and his group of newcomers came to this world. It has been two or three months.

"No, no, I can't do it."

[Brother Kong is kind and righteous] waved his hand and said that they were just here to join in the fun.

"Sorry, we're not chefs."

[Meng Ge Yi Qie Ren] politely rejected Slako, and then the two of them quickly slipped away and fled the scene. They were roommates and received the internal test qualifications together, so they had this "CP name".

"Hiss~ These foreigners are really weird."

Slaco shook his head, feeling a little puzzled. Although these strangers were no different from ordinary humans, they gave people a feeling of being very different. They could even be distinguished at a glance. Strangers had a very unique trait that was completely different from other ordinary people.

"Hiss~ Forget it, let's pack up and go back. Looks like we can't recruit anyone."

After waiting for a while, Slaco closed his stall in disappointment. He had tried his best, and there was nothing he could do if no one was willing to go.

"Wait a minute! Slaco!"

Just as Slaco was about to pack up his things, a voice with a strange accent in the "Common Language of the Empire" rang out, and it was obvious that the voice was from a foreigner.

"Hiss~ What's wrong?"

As expected, when Slaco looked at the man, he could tell at a glance that he was a stranger, and the special feeling about him was very obvious.

“I’m a chef.”

[Stir-fried tomatoes with tomatoes] A serious look on his face.

"what?"

Slaco was stunned for a moment, then spoke hesitantly.

"Hiss~Have you seen the workplace?"

Because of the previous disappointment, Slaco now has experience and doesn't need to be too happy. The other party may only look at the salary and will immediately back off after seeing the work location.

"Of course, the obsidian mine, that's also Lord Cullen's territory, isn't it?"

[Stir-fried Tomatoes with Tomatoes] He looked as if it was a matter of course, and his meaning was very clear: he had no objection to the workplace.

"Hiss! That's right! Of course it's Lord Karen's territory! Zandata is a vampire! I'm a reserve vampire, and we're all loyal servants of the Blood King!"

Upon hearing the words "Tomatoes Fried with Tomatoes", Slaco spoke immediately, his expression suddenly filled with surprise. It was obvious that this stranger really intended to go with them!

"That's it. I'm a stranger summoned by Lord Karen. We're all family. Do you think you can harm me?"

[Stir-fried Tomatoes with Tomatoes] stretched out his hand to Slako with a smile on his face. He looked very confident and not worried about any problems at all, which made Slako a little dazed.

But then he thought again, it seemed that those curious strangers he met before were all like this. Most of them just said that they were not chefs, or did not want to be chefs, and they were not really afraid or worried.

This was in stark contrast to the other people in Wangbo Port. As expected, these foreigners were all extremely daring.
