I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 563

[Chapter 563 Literate Talent]

But with Yu Bu’s arrival, all the envy in Old Mike’s heart had long since disappeared.

Even now, Old Mike can still recall the surprised expression on his old friend’s face when he heard his current salary.

Old Mike swore that he would never forget that look as if he had seen a ghost.

“Two silver coins a day, that’s four times what Jika earns in a day!”

Old Mike sighed secretly in his heart, then turned to look at Yu Bu, with a gleam of gratitude in his eyes.

All of this was bestowed by the young Baron in front of us.

Old Mike made up his mind to help Yu Bu take care of the castle so as to repay his kindness.

At this time, Yu Bu raised his head, frowned first, and then raised the big booklet in his hand.

“Old Mike. Now I have something for you to do.”

Old Mike stepped forward quickly: “I am willing to serve you, sir.”

Yu Bu was very satisfied with Old Mike’s attitude. He nodded and gave his instructions.

He planned to let Old Mike post a recruitment notice and find at least a few literate citizens so that a population census of the entire Thunder Town could be conducted.

After Old Mike left the Baron’s office, his face was full of excitement.

“Oh! God! The master is so kind and generous. He is an angel sent by God to save our poor town and us poor people abandoned by God.”

Liya, who was downstairs, heard Old Mike’s mumbling and couldn’t help feeling very confused.

When she learned that the master wanted to recruit literate people to conduct a population census for the entire town, Liya was immediately very happy and said that she could recognize a few big characters.

So Old Mike included Leah in it.

Then he left the castle as quickly as possible and came to Thunder Town, under the bulletin board.

“Everyone, gather quickly. I have the Lord’s order to announce!”

Old Mike waved his arms, looking very excited.

A group of residents quickly gathered together, their expressions revealing curiosity and anticipation.

They already knew that the lord who purchased Thunder Town this time was very kind.

After obtaining the corn seeds, a few bolder residents followed Old Mike’s example and ate the corn seeds raw.

The sweet taste kept lingering in the mouth, so much so that everyone was looking forward to the corn ripening.

Now that the noble lord had issued an order once again, everyone naturally raised their hands in agreement.

In less than a moment, Old Mike took out the recruitment order that Yu Bu gave him – actually it was a piece of thick parchment torn from a book.

Yu Bu cursed inwardly, this damn place didn’t even have paper. They could only use thick parchment made of animal fur with a strange smell.

Old Mike firmly fixed the four corners of the recruitment notice on the bulletin board, then turned around and looked at everyone.

“Old Mr. Mac, what does it say here?”

Old Mike didn’t say anything. He motioned for everyone to check it themselves, and then left alone to carry out the next task assigned by Yu Bu – setting up an office at the entrance of the village to prepare for the subsequent registration of the residents.

After Old Mike left, a group of people looked at each other with wide eyes.

How could anyone who couldn’t read understand the words on the recruitment order?
