[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 226: Recruitment (2)

...****************...

After he finished signing his contract, Noelle was immediately taken to a place by Dolf.

Felice didn't come because she still had to prepare to open the bar, so they were just the two of them now.

Dolf takes Noelle to an old apartment building that appears to have several empty rooms. The distance is not too far from the bar, only about 5 minutes walk.

"To maintain confidentiality, each of our members must live in a monitored place, and this apartment building is one of them."

As Dolf explained, he took a few steps forward, then looked up slightly, right at the end of the stairs.

"This apartment has about 20 rooms, and there are only 14 rooms inhabited. Although I refer to this as a dormitory, actually this apartment has some completely unrelated foreign residents, they are mostly workers in government offices, and they rarely come back here, he said, so you'll only meet them a few times."

"How many similar buildings are there in the city? "

Noelle asked because she wanted to make sure of something. He was convinced that the Lunatic Order in this city had a large number of members. In order to organize such a large number of members, they should have many similar facilities to be used as residences by the members.

Dolf smiled as he climbed the stairs.

"A good question. I myself do not know the exact number, but we manage many apartments and inns for the members. Well, even if only a few members occupy it."

"Most of the senior members here are people who are already married, so they have their own home. It was impossible for them to share the building with anyone else, so they built their own house around a place that was still within our supervision."

"What does that mean ... Do you have the right to move if you have a good reason? "

Dolf nodded. "That's right. If you have a good reason for that, then we can give you some leeway. Well, I've read all the details on your identity documents, and I know that you're alone, so I assume that you won't be moving anywhere anytime soon."

The identity of Noah Ashrain Noelle made with the status of not having a family. He has lost a member of his family since the civil war that took place shortly after he was born.

"That's right, yeah … "

Noelle nodded understandingly, then stopped stepping when she saw Dolf stop in his path.

He stopped at a door with the number 18 glued to the side.

"From now on this will be your room. You're free to decorate it, but make sure it doesn't bother your neighbors."

Dolf reached into his pocket, pulled out a key, then handed it to Noelle.

"I'm sure you've read the contract, but I'll explain it again just in case; your weekly salary is 8 Roup, and in one month you can get 3 Lunar and 2 Roup, respectively, maybe it could be 4 Lunar if we asked you to overtime."

The Roup is a lower form of the Lunar, but higher than the Penny in the Republic. That was equivalent to 1 Silver coin in the Kingdom.

If Noelle converted her monthly salary to Royal currency, then she would earn 40 Silver coins for one month with extra overtime.

Not too much, but enough for Noelle. After reading the information on her contract letter, Noelle realized that she would get health insurance that would be fully supported by the church. If he needs to spend money to carry out a given mission, then he only needs to submit a letter of submission of funds to the treasurer.

Technically, Noelle did not need to spend any money other than for her daily living expenses. This is a good thing.

However, the part that he thought was a little disadvantageous, was that he would have a little trouble replenishing the weapon supplies.

Noelle couldn't just file for a large purchase of weapons, nor could she buy directly given she had to be frugal and shouldn't arouse suspicion.

That was not the case when he was still an adventurer, he could freely buy whatever weapons he wanted, and obtain them in as many quantities as possible.

After the fight against Noir, Noelle had lost most of her precious assets in the form of weapons such as swords, spears, and such. Currently, his spatial warehouse was arguably empty.

(Yahh, I guess I just need to prepare him or three swords just in case .. )

Noelle sighed with a hint of regret. After that, he began to look at the neighborhood around the apartment.

His room was on the fourth floor, and from here he could see the scenery around the apartment more freely.

For the record, the apartment building he will live in has a total of five floors, with each floor having five rooms. Only four floors are used as rooms, while the top floor is the part used by residents to do some things, such as drying their clothes, or just resting.

"Well, I've explained everything I need to explain. It's still morning, so enjoy yourself. Please come back to headquarters at lunchtime to receive your uniform and emblem."

"The headquarters you're referring to is … "

"Hmm? I'm sure you know the place. I mean, we were there a while ago."

(Gh .. )

Clearly, the headquarters that Dolf was referring to was the bar that Noelle had visited earlier.

The Nautica Saloon, on the outside may just look like an ordinary bar, but it is actually one of the headquarters belonging to a large organization under the church.

(I'm sure many people would be surprised to hear this information .. )

Noelle did not say anything, and only saw Dolf go away from her apartment.

...****************...

"Now … "

Noelle stretched for a moment, then put the key into the hole with the door.

For a moment, he had trouble turning it around. It is likely that the inside has rusted, and it is completely dry making it difficult to respond to the shape of the lock.

However, after a little effort, Noelle managed to unlock it. The door was opened, and the appearance inside was immediately visible.

A hallway that may be only about two meters long is visible, and on one side there is a dusty shoe rack.

The floor is wooden, and in some corners has also been hollow because it becomes a snack for termites.

Noelle checked every problem in the hallway, then walked in deeper.

What greeted him, was a living room that was only separated from the kitchen with a counter table.

There was a set of sofas, but it was dusty and needed immediate cleaning. A coffee table that was in the middle of it also looked dusty, but it had absolutely no sign of damage. Everything just needs to be cleaned.

Noelle put down her suitcase, activated light magic to become a temporary source of illumination, then immediately opened the window.

The scenery outside the window was an apparition that almost encompassed the entire city.

Thanks to the sharpness of her eyes, Noelle's line of sight was much greater than a normal person. That's why he could see the city in the distance.

The morning sunlight began to spread as the window opened, and the room became much brighter than before. Noelle immediately extinguished the light from her magic.

"This room is too dusty … "

Noelle started thinking about her schedule for today, and she found one problem; she did not have time to start training.

Normally, he would train for at least an hour in the morning and evening. Right now was Noelle's daily schedule time, but she didn't even have the time to do it.

He still has to clean up this place.

Noelle once again sighed and turned to the other room.

There were still three rooms he had not checked into, and they were bedrooms, bathrooms, and work rooms.

Noelle walked into the bedroom, and began to check the situation there. As a result, there wasn't much he had to sort out. He just needed to clean up the dust that was sticking to it, and fill the room with some decorative objects.

After that, Noelle went to the bathroom, and the situation wasn't too bad either.

The workspace is the same. The bookshelf that was there was quite dusty, but it would be clean again with just a little polish. It's just that, the tables and chairs there are not very good quality, but that's not a problem because Noelle has a lot of similar items with better quality in her spatial warehouse.

"There's not much to change .. I just need to add things and clean up the dust. But ... I wish I could do all of that at once … "

After leaving Olivia, Noelle was unable to deny the fact that her schedule had become more chaotic than usual.

It was because she had to fill the role that Olivia was supposed to do, or help out with, like cleaning and stuff.

In addition, he also started to think hard about his financial situation.

Prior to this, most of his money had been saved in《Reign》, which he had given Chloe access rights. Which means, Noelle only has a small supply of money right now.

(Yahh, at least this is enough to make me live a luxurious life for a year or two .. )

The luxurious life he meant was not a rich life like the nobles had, but a simple life he had been living with Olivia.

Noelle considered all of that a luxury, as she could feel many extraordinary things.

"Well .. Where can I start? "

After returning to the living room, he looked around him and ended up in severe confusion.

All this time, all the homework she had left to Olivia, and she would only help once in a while. Naturally, Noelle had no real experience in doing clean-up from scratch.

"Livia always said to start first, after that I can go with the flow and continue until I clean everything up."

His head nodded firmly as he made his decision.

Noelle walked to one corner, and picked up a few sheets of scattered paper, after which took out a broom from her spatial warehouse.

"Just start first, and I can follow the current … "

...****************...

"Ahh .. I think this is enough … "

It was almost noon, and Noelle was finally done.

Why did it take so much longer than it should? Actually this was because he would occasionally make small mistakes, and he was also dissatisfied with just 'a little clean'. Finally, Noelle's activities continued until she finally cleared everything.

The sofa and table in the living room have also been cleaned, but there may still be a little dirt at some point, while the other room has been completely cleaned of all kinds of dirt.

During that time, he also stuffed his things into the closet, replacing the bed with the ones he had in the spatial warehouse, he said, and fill the bookshelf in the workspace with a variety of books that he has.

Currently, his apartment room did not look like a room that had been abandoned for a long time. Various furnishings have been replaced with better quality ones, so you could say he has remodeled almost the entirety of this room.

Noelle put all the cleaning equipment in the corner of the room, then dropped her body onto the sofa that had been cleaned.

Even though Noelle did not replace it, the sofa itself was already cushioned enough, so she did not mind lying on it.

Noelle lay down, silently staring at the ceiling for a while. Then, he raised his own hand as if he wanted to reach for something.

At this moment, he recalled the words of the old man who spoke to him in Nim city.

"There is still a chance, yes … "

Noelle's raised hand fell down, and landed on her own stomach. Noelle then sighed tiredly.

"Clean-clean is much more exhausting than fighting monsters … "

For a moment, he wanted to enjoy the time and sleep until an unknown time. However, Noelle realized that the time was not much.

He was asked to come to the bar at lunchtime.

It's almost noon now, and lunchtime is coming soon.

In the end, Noelle did not take any breaks and went straight to visit the bar.
