Chapter 1392 Gilles and Jeanne's Reunion (Part 2)

Looking at Jill who was approaching him quickly, the profiteer's expression changed.

Before Jill could get close, the profiteer quickly turned around and ran away.

Jill didn't bother to chase the profiteer.

First of all - he's not in that mood right now.

Secondly - even if he catches the profiteer, he can't do anything to the profiteer.

Because he did not have enough evidence on hand to prove that this profiteer was disrupting business order.

After the profiteer fled away.

Gilcai turned his head to look at the brown girl and said softly:

"That person just now was a profiteer."

"How can your cheese be worth so little?"

"Little girl, you have to be more careful. There are many such profiteers in Tuli..."

Before Gil could finish his words, he stopped abruptly, unable to say the next words.

Because——he saw the face of this brown girl.

The moment he saw the brown girl's face, Jill's eyes suddenly widened.

Then he couldn't help but murmured:

"Jean..."

"Huh?" The brown girl's purple eyes flashed with confusion, "Your Excellency, how do you know my name?"

"Don't you remember me..."

Jill scratched her hair helplessly.

"But there is nothing we can do about it... After all, we haven't seen each other for 8 years. After so many years, I am almost reaching the age of an uncle..."

After chuckling a few times with a helpless expression, Jill smiled and poked her face.

"It's me."

"Gills de Lisle, who was rescued by you 8 years ago and was taken care of by you for a period of time."

As soon as Jill finished speaking, the brown girl stared like Jill just now.

...

...

Gill and Jeanne were sitting side by side on the edge of a river in the city of Tuli.

Jeanne gnawed crazily on the bread that Jill had just bought for her.

The way Jeanne was munching bread crazily showed that she must have been hungry for a long time.

Jeanne gnawed on the bread in her hand while telling Gill the reason why she was in Tuli.

Although her mouth was full of bread, Jeanne's enunciation was still clear - this may be regarded as some kind of talent.

Gill sat next to Jeanne like this, listening quietly to Jeanne telling her story.

...

...

"......So this is ah."

After Jeana finished speaking, Jill sighed softly.

"I came to Tuli in search of a job that can make money..."

The Luolin Empire's national power has declined year by year over the years.

The village of Donremi was also affected, and the villagers' lives became increasingly poor.

About a year after Gil left Donremi, the villagers of Donremi figured out a way to get rich by making cheese.

In the beginning, the villagers of Donremi Village did make a small fortune by making high-quality cheese.

But not long after, due to the sluggish market, even the cheese became difficult to sell...

Cheese is not as easy to sell as before, making the lives of the villagers in Donremi Village increasingly miserable.

The villagers of Donremi Village gradually understood that there was no way to make everyone's lives better just by farming and making cheese.

Therefore, in order to improve their increasingly miserable life, the strong men in Donremi Village left the village one after another in search of profitable jobs.

Some people join the army as soldiers.

Some people go to the city to become apprentice craftsmen.

Some people learn to do business.

In short, almost all the strong men in Donremi Village have left the village to find profitable jobs.

As a result, Donremi Village has become a run-down village with no young adults and only the elderly, children and women left.

However, even though all the young adults have gone out to look for work, they have not been able to make a lot of money;

Let’s make life better for everyone in Donremi Village.

Jeanne has been without parents since she was a child.

She grew up eating hundreds of meals from Donremi Village.

Jeanne naturally couldn't bear to see the lives of everyone in the village getting poorer and poorer.

Therefore, Jeanne resolutely decided to go to Tuli, the richest and most prosperous city in their Luolin Empire, to find a profitable job and earn enough money to improve the lives of everyone in Donremi Village.

However - the day after Jeanne arrived in Turi, the Britannia Empire issued a declaration of war against the Rollin Empire and launched a full-scale attack on the Rollin Empire...

If it were normal times, Jeanne might actually be able to find some reliable and profitable job in Tuli.

But - it's different in wartime.

How easy is it to find a good job during a war, especially when the war is about to reach Tuli?

So after arriving in Touli, despite Jeanne's best efforts, she was unable to find a reliable job.

The money I carried with me was gradually spent.

In desperation, Jeanne could only rely on selling the cheese she brought from the village in exchange for enough money to live on.

These cheeses were given to Jeanna by everyone in the village, and Jeanna has always been reluctant to eat them.

But in order to get enough money, she had no choice but to sell the cheese.

Then I met the profiteer just now.

Then he reunited with Jill.

...

...

After telling her story, Jeanne just finished the piece of bread that Gill gave her.

"well......"

Jeanne let out a low sigh.

"I thought it would be easy to find a job..."

"No matter how hard I look, I can't find a suitable job..."

"The jobs you can find are all weird jobs..."

Jeanne's mood was visibly depressed.

Gill, who was keenly aware of Jeanne's depressed mood, softly comforted Gill after a moment of silence:

"Jean, don't feel guilty. It's not your fault that you can't find a job."

"It's just because the current national conditions are somewhat special..."

"Our country is now in a state of all-out war with the Britannia Empire."

"During the war, it was difficult to find a reliable job."

"So you don't have to feel guilty. It's not because you are incompetent, it's just that you have some bad luck."

"A total war with the Britannia Empire..."

As soon as Gil finished speaking, Jeanne muttered.

"Speaking of which, after I came to Tuli, I thought about joining the army..."

"About a month ago, many recruitment points suddenly appeared in Tuli to recruit new soldiers."

"I heard that the salary you can get after joining the army is quite good, and I am quite strong and can endure hardships, so I applied for the army."

"As a result, I was kicked out by the people at the recruitment point..."

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Jill said in a joking tone, "There is no country that does not recruit female soldiers. Of course you will be kicked out."

"Our country should really learn from the Britannia Empire!"

Jeanne said in an unhappy tone.

"I know - in the Britannia Empire, women can also serve as soldiers!"

"I really hope that our country can become a country like the Britannia Empire in the future where even women can serve as soldiers!"
