Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 88 Desperate Life
The next day, when Barlow thought that things would slowly get over after he found the other party to apologize, he found that the bottom of the Twilight Tower was splashed with red paint, and the tower was also written with red paint: "The scum who discriminates against the demons"
Barlow entered the Mage Tower nervously, and saw his colleagues looking at him with an indescribable look.
"Barro, people can just talk about things like the demon clan, but how could you really do it?"
What happened last night has been artistically processed and spread throughout the entire royal capital. Barro and his sister have become ugly, evil, and racially prejudiced villains. Just because the demon accidentally touched his sister, Barro would chop off the other's hand by relying on his identity as a member of the Royal Professionals Association.
Before Barro could explain, the owner of the wizard tower stood up and shouted, "Barro, you are fired!"
Many colleagues looked at Barlow with sympathy. They were very familiar with this honest colleague. Not to mention discriminating against the demons, he probably didn't even dare to look people in the eye, let alone say such words in the street.
But there was no way out. Not only was there pressure from the nobles above, but if Barlow was not dismissed, those people would incite the common people in the royal capital, and the gangsters and students would block the entrance of the Mage Tower, making it impossible for the Mage Tower to even carry out its normal work.
Forget about those students from the capital who may have powerful backgrounds, after all, their number is not large. However, the Mage Tower has no right to expel even the civilians of the capital, because once the Mage Tower takes action against these civilians who usually just look down on them, those noble lords who usually don't care about the lives of their subordinates will immediately turn into good people and start to impeach them madly.
And using this reason, they began to put pressure on the new king in order to slow down his reform policies.
Barlow returned to his home in the outer city in a daze, only to see that the front of his cottage was also covered with red paint and graffiti. A terrible thought came to Barlow's mind. Barlow rushed to his home like a madman, opened the door, but saw Sharon shivering in the corner.
"Brother, I'm so scared. After you left, they brought people to smash the house."
Barlow hugged his sister tightly and comforted her: "It's okay, brother is back."
Life had to go on, but all of Barlow's part-time jobs heard about his situation overnight and terminated their contracts to distance themselves from him. The debt collectors for Barlow's loans also came to collect the debts soon after.
"Barlow, it's time to pay back the money!"
"Sir, this doesn't make sense. Why is the interest so much higher than before?"
Barlow was shocked when he held the bill in his hand. He originally thought that even if he lost his job temporarily, he could slowly find a way to make ends meet with his savings. But the interest alone was enough to bankrupt Barlow.
"You don't want to pay back the money? Aren't you afraid that people will tell you that you didn't pay back the money owed to the demon clan?"
The debt collector slapped the IOU on Barlow's desk.
"Demon, demon clan? Did I borrow this loan from the demon clan?"
"What else? I am just responsible for doing odd jobs. This money belongs to the demon master."
Barlow looked at the loan agreement carefully again and found that it was actually a well-disguised compound interest loan, commonly known as compound interest.
Fear, confusion, anger, negative emotions rushed into Barlow's mind in an instant, but the debt collector just glanced at his sister behind Barlow, and Barlow calmed down. He took out all his property to pay the interest, just the interest.
"I'll come again next month, remember to get ready, otherwise I think your sister is pretty."
The debt collector left Barlow's house, which was sprayed with red paint, with a smirk on his face.
At dusk, Barlow didn't dare to leave his sister alone at home anymore, so he took her to a job recruitment site to find a job.
To make matters worse, my sister's old illness relapsed and she started coughing up blood.
A second-level rune master shouldn't be in such a miserable state, but prominent people didn't dare to approach Barlow, even though the salary Barlow asked for was less than that of a first-level rune master.
Now Barlow just wants to find a job that can allow himself and his sister to survive.
"Brother, what do you think of this? It seems like we can both do this!"
Barlow looked in the direction his sister pointed, and in the corner of the job information, there was indeed a job with incredibly good pay.
But the workplace says Gray Collar.
Barlow, who has been working at the Twilight Tower, knows this place. It is in the North, where Governor Lind Roll rules.
In the public opinion of the capital, the western part of the North where Gray Collar is located is poor and barbaric. Doug Lars next door has been baptized by the king, reflected on the mistakes of the Lars family before, and became a member of the royal capital nobles. There are even rumors that he will become the new Duke of the North.
But Lind Roll inherited all the bad habits of the old Lars. It was said that he and Lena Lars had to eat two babies alive for every meal, and the people under his rule were a living hell.
Barlow knew that the real situation was probably not so exaggerated, but Barlow and his sister had seen the painting that Codick had exhibited about the previous situation in the North.
However, the benefits listed on the recruitment website are indeed very generous, even higher than Barlow's previous salary at the Twilight Tower, and job placement is guaranteed, so a first-level rune master can get a house.
As mentioned above, the Governor likes to discuss mathematics, so even if you don’t know runes and are not a professional, you can still find a job as long as your math level is high enough.
"Brother, I learned it in school before, I can do math work too!"
Barlow nodded. Although his sister could not continue to go to school due to the illness, the basics were still there.
The most crucial thing is that the demons can only travel within the territory of Doug Lars and his people, and the western part of the North might be able to provide them with shelter.
Barlow was really moved.
At this time, a bard dressed as a actor appeared out of nowhere.
"You two, are you interested in this job?"
The bard bowed politely and looked up at the brother and sister.
“I am the person in charge of this work.”
Although the bard seemed unreliable at first glance, when he saw the North Wind Bear tattooed on his costume, Barlow took his sister to a nearby room.
After all, not everyone in the royal capital dares to use the North Wind Bear pattern now. Even Doug Lars and others have given up this family emblem.
If he is a liar, he is too dedicated.
After discussing the work location and salary in detail, Barlow said hesitantly, "I have something to confirm, is that okay?"
Although he could conceal his situation, Baro was afraid that something worse would happen if he was discovered. After all, in the eyes of the people in the capital, the North was now a completely war-torn wilderness. Staying in the capital might just lead to exploitation. In the North, Baro was afraid that he might die in obscurity.
Barlow detailed his and his sister's current situation, but the bard simply stroked his chin and asked, "Can you show me your IOU?"
Barlow nodded and took out the long and boring IOU that he had read over and over again.
After reading it for a while, the bard said, "This IOU is illegal both according to our Northern Regulations and the laws of the Kingdom. Not to mention the compound interest, the interest calculated is higher than the highest interest rate for noble loans."
The interest rate was so outrageous that it was even higher than what the nobles paid for loans.
Seeing that Barro still didn't understand, the bard added: "An illegal IOU is naturally invalid."
After hearing this, Barlow was completely relieved.
Then, the bard half-jokingly said, "To be honest, there are too many people in your situation recently. I even suspect that some of them are looking for us to escape debt."
“Are there many people like me?”
Barlow was a little shocked. Wasn't he an exception?
"A lot, but not many are as unlucky as you."
The bard sighed, "At least many have fled to the North because they can't pay back their loans. It seems that more and more demons in the capital have started lending at high interest rates."
"And most of the people who took out loans wanted to treat illnesses like your sister's."
The bard looked as if he had seen something funny.
Barlow suspected that the bard in front of him must know something, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he just asked, "When can my sister and I go to Gray Collar?"
The bard just nodded: "It will be soon. Gray Collar is full of surprises. Maybe I can cure your sister's stubborn illness."
Barlow just smiled awkwardly. This was a disease that even the Central Church in the royal capital was helpless against. How could a little white-collar worker possibly have a solution?
