Chapter 80. Pig, Bear, and Pot
At the honey stall, the wooden stand was covered with glass jars of every size. Fick stood in front of the stall, leisurely choosing among them.
“Boss, is this wild honey?”
“Ha, take a look around, sir. Where would you find wild beehives these days? This is honey brewed by bees in wooden sheds.”
A burst of steady footsteps suddenly came from behind him. Will Yans quickly walked to Fick’s side, bowed slightly, and lowered his voice.

“Lord Wayne, using your identity as a North Saphile Advisor, I have contacted people and asked around. Now, when people in the market heard that you were recruiting manpower, quite a few C-rank knight fugitives were willing to come and apply.”
He continued reporting, his tone carrying a hint of consideration. “However, most of these knights have named a price. They are demanding a monthly salary of sixty silver Mane, and they refuse to accept anything less.

“If you do not mind, my lord, I also found out that a group of orcs is willing to come and serve. The compensation they want is much lower than that of human knights. Some do not even want money and instead want you to help them with other matters. Perhaps because of their race, few people have ever been willing to hire them.”
“I’m not picky. As long as they can be used.”
Fick put the glass jar in his hand back where it had been. Then he followed Will Yans away from the stall and headed toward Yans’s residence.
The two walked briskly through the streets and alleys. Before long, they arrived outside Yans’s home.

At this moment, the entrance was already extremely lively. A noisy crowd of twenty or so people had gathered there. Among them were human knights wearing worn-out knight uniforms and carrying rust-stained swords at their waists, as well as tall figures whose outlines faintly showed beastlike traits.
Everyone crowded together, chattering and discussing noisily. Every one of them looked eager, shouting that they wanted to follow the North Saphile Advisor and accomplish something great, hoping they could use this chance to secure a good future.
“Lord Wayne! I’ve robbed banks before!”
“Can you solve my undocumented status?”

“Pick me! I want to become an officer in a knight order!”
Fick stood before the crowd and slowly swept his gaze over them. He saw that most of the human knights looked eager, their eyes filled with greed and restlessness. Every one of them looked fierce and vicious, with an impatient hostility around them.

The orcs beside them were completely different. They all lowered their heads and used wide hoods to tightly cover their faces and features. They stood quietly in the corner, carrying a sense of inferiority and restraint.
It was only because their identity had always been discriminated against in this region. It was inconvenient for them to move freely in public, and they had been ostracized for a long time.
Looking at the scene before him, Fick immediately spoke, instantly suppressing the noise at the scene.
“As a North Saphile Advisor, I have always valued the character of my subordinates. Therefore, I do not accept gay men or lolicons. If anyone hides the truth and I find out, do not blame me for using him as military merit.”
As soon as these words came out, a large group of people showed varied expressions. Some looked embarrassed, while others covered their faces and slunk away. The entrance that had originally been crowded instantly emptied by more than half.
After the crowd dispersed, only a few humans remained, along with four orcs who still had their heads lowered and their hoods wrapped around them, standing quietly in place as they waited for Fick’s next words.

Fick looked at the remaining people and nodded slightly. His gaze became serious, and every word he spoke clearly entered everyone’s ears. “You all know very well that what I am leading you to do is not some ordinary petty scuffle. It is a first-rate major undertaking: robbing Koyanxiton First Bank.”
He deliberately emphasized his tone, watched everyone’s reactions, and continued, “Because of that, your pay will depend on your performance in this robbery. The highest pay is all the gold Mane in Frank Bank. I estimate that there should be at least several thousand gold Mane.
“Of course, if you do not want wages and instead want me to help with some matters or resolve some trouble, I will only provide assistance within what the law allows.”
“What about the minimum wage?” someone asked.
“The minimum? Food and lodging included, zero insurance and zero benefits, no days off all year, and your take-home pay depends entirely on performance.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd stirred. Large numbers of knights looked resentful and turned to leave.

A moment later, only a handful of people remained in the field: a strange-looking knight whose head was framed by an iron pot, and three orcs—a pig orc and two burly bear orcs, all standing silently.
Animal friends were still easier to fool.

The iron-pot knight took half a step forward. Unlike those knights from earlier, he showed none of their greed or impatience. He pointed to his mouth with a finger, then waved his hand, indicating that he could not speak.
Fick raised his brows when he saw this, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. Then he composed himself, looked at the knight, and assessed him from head to toe. Although the knight wore shabby iron armor, his aura was steady, and he did not seem to be lying. Fick directly asked, “How strong are you?”
The knight shaped his fingers into a B, then straightened his back, displaying complete honesty.
He did not want money and could still fight. This sounded so positive. Could I really have picked up a treasure?

Fick finalized it at once. “Good. From now on, From now on, if I have a bowl of rice to eat, you’ll have a bowl to wash.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his gaze toward the three demi-beastmen nearby.
The three demi-beastmen were still wrapped in their wide hoods, but because of Fick’s gaze, their bodies trembled faintly, revealing an unconcealable timidity and cowardice.
The pig demi-beastman’s pointed ears peeked out from the edge of his hood, twitching nonstop, and his body was hunched. The other two bear demi-beastmen had their shoulders slightly drawn in, making their sturdy builds look rather timid instead. Their appearances could not be called proper. They could even be described as ugly in a frightening, crooked-melon-and-cracked-date kind of way. Yet their eyes were full of simple honesty, without the slightest malice.

Seeing Fick look over, the pig demi-beastman mustered his courage and shifted a small step forward. His accent was strange, but he tried hard to speak clearly. “The three of us are C-rank. Our abilities are not that great, but we came to apply on behalf of our big brother.
“My big brother is an upper B-rank demi-beastman. He is only one step away from touching the threshold of quasi-A-rank, and his techniques are also especially powerful. It is just that he has a straightforward temper and loves gambling, which is how he ended up fallen in a place like this.”

Hearing this, Fick lightly rubbed his fingertips against his cuff and asked calmly, “Since your big brother is so outstanding, why did he not come personally? Why did he send the three of you to apply instead?”
As soon as these words came out, the three orcs showed somewhat embarrassed and helpless expressions. The pig orc scratched his head, his tone carrying a hint of frustration at someone failing to live up to expectations.
“Big Brother went to the casino again. Once his gambling addiction flares up, no matter how we try to persuade him, he refuses to leave. We really could not drag him away, so we came here first to take a look on his behalf. We thought that if we could truly find a way out with you, a human, we would then think of a way to call him back.”
Hearing this, Fick casually said, “Since he cannot come, then I will recruit the three of you and keep you here. Follow me and do things for me, and you will at least have a stable place to go.”
Unexpectedly, the pig orc hurriedly shook his head. His fan-like pig ears shook rapidly, and his tone was especially firm. “No, no. Although the three of us have no ability and are cowardly by nature, we have always recognized only Big Brother as our boss. In life, we are Big Brother’s people. In death, we are Big Brother’s shit. We absolutely cannot abandon Big Brother and join someone else on our own.”
He secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Fick. Seeing that the other party’s expression was gentle and that he was not angry, he finally gathered his courage and continued.

“If, if you can help Big Brother quit gambling and return to the right path, then from now on, you will be our eldest brother. We will have no objections!”
This pig head was actually quite clever.
“I do not become number two. I have always only been the leader.”
Some of the seriousness between Fick’s brows and eyes dispersed, and his tone carried a hint of casualness. “Let’s go. Take us to the casino. We’ll go see just how severe your big brother’s gambling addiction is. Great talent, you stay here and wait to see whether any other talents come over.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The pigman was both shocked and delighted. He had not expected that this North Saphile Advisor not only did not discriminate against orcs, but was truly as eager for talent as the bald man had said. The two bearmen also hurriedly called him “my lord” again and again, then led the group toward the underground casino.
