Magician Online

Chapter 78: Job

Rose is the owner of this gym, a woman who is also an active exerciser.

She is usually called Sister Rose by those who are younger.

Although Aldric was new to this gym, not a member, and came in erratically, he was familiar with her because she had familiarized herself with him.

After all, his body was already well-formed, so it was only natural for people who were very active in weightlifting to familiarize themselves with him and ask about his training experience to what he ate.

Even some people with bigger bodies than him sometimes asked him for advice because he had more power and endurance than them.

"What kind of work is that, Sister Rose?" Aldric asked her as she arrived at his side.

He had indeed asked her for help in finding him a short but well-paying job, such as lifting items that could not rely on tools because his strong body suited the job.

Although he did not need that job anymore, if it really existed and was not too difficult, he might need to accept it. After all, he was the one who asked for it. At least he worked once.

"It's to move a suitcase of metal, each suitcase weighs 95 kg. You have to move them to a basement via a rather small staircase so you can't rely on equipment," Rose replied.

"What?" Aldric was a bit dumbfounded at that.

Suitcases each containing 95 kg of metal? What kind of metal is that?

The 95 kg weight was no problem, he could carry it down the stairs repeatedly. However, he was a bit worried about working for a party that possessed so much metal like that.

Without a doubt, it was not ordinary iron like in this gym.

It was not a strange job, but it could be a very complicated job.

"Sister Rose..." Aldric showed his doubts.

In response, Rose showed him a faint smile.

"Don't think badly, this work is done in that palace," she said, gazing at the English royal palace that could still be seen dimly from the gym.

Aldric was dumbfounded again.

The palace?

How is that possible?

"My friend managed the removal of the goods while the palace was the client. Unfortunately, although my friend's company has a lot of equipment for transporting goods, they don't have enough workers to transport those heavy items and it's not easy to find workers who can actually lift suitcases weighing up to 95 kg." The woman explained.

"Right, I will definitely not make you suffer, I will ask my friend to give you a large fee for each suitcase you lift. I'll even accompany you there," she added.

"Sister Rose, when are they working on the transfer?" asked Aldric.

He became interested out of curiosity but also because he was tempted by the opportunity to enter the palace.

In the palace, could anything bad happen considering the royal family had a good reputation?

"Later tonight, from 7 PM to 9 PM," Rose replied.

At that hour, Magician Online should still be in the afternoon. It was not yet time to work for Snow_Goose.

"Sister Rose, give me a moment to think," Aldric replied.

"Okay, you can think first. Come see me when you've decided," Rose replied.

She turned around and went to an area with many women, striding confidently.

Everyone she passed greeted her either by complimenting her or asking for a discount for the next month's gym membership.

Aldric began to think after Rose left, but he was actually a bit unsure what he needed to think about.

With no knowledge of the palace, what could he think.

He had the idea of consulting Jenny, but then felt that it would only make her feel proud that he was too dependent on her.

That wasn't good either.

As he continued to think with his hands sometimes moving to lift the dumbbells he was holding.

"Right!" He suddenly remembered Anna who even gave him her business card.

His hand took out his wallet, taking the business card out of it.

He kept it rather carefully as he knew only the metal of the business card was quite valuable.

Even he suspected it contained a few grams of real gold and silver.

First, he saved the phone number written on the business card in his cell phone, giving it the contact name 'Lady Anna' as it was obviously her personal phone number.

Aldric knew that it would be rude to call her directly, so he preferred to send a message.

(Lady Anna, I am Aldric, sorry for disturbing you, I would like to ask your opinion. I have just received a job to move an item consisting of a 95 kg suitcase of metal. I don't know what kind of metal it is, but it was done in the royal palace. I feel a bit uncomfortable because it seems suspicious.)

(Why are you doing such menial work?)

Anna apparently replied quite quickly, but instead of giving an opinion, she questioned his work.

(Well, it's because I've asked a friend before.) he replied.

(So you're worried about security because the items being moved are suspicious? Hahaha, the palace is of course a very safe place. I even have contact with the Queen's niece, if you get into trouble, I can contact her. It's just that, I wonder what kind of metal they're moving, how about you take this job and take a peek at it. I don't mind paying you if you give me the information).

"..."

(If you think it's safe, I'm not worried about taking this job anymore, but I'm worried that I won't violate the protocols of this job.)

(You're too honest, Aldric, hahaha.)

(It's not like that, but this is working for the kingdom. Who would be so bold as to play around.) Aldric retorted.

(Yeah, that's not good. The monarchy may be good to give a lot of freedom to the British people, but they will not tolerate crimes against them.)

'I think I'll take this job,' Aldric thought.

He was no longer worried about Anna's assurances.

It could be that entering the palace was a good thing. If not for this opportunity, he might not have the chance to enter in his lifetime.
