Black Sail

Chapter 17: XVII. Job Market



```

Originally, when recruiting sailors, Mika should have been present to check for any infectious diseases among these expendables and give them a certain degree of physical examination.

But Mika was preoccupied with that matter since early morning, and at this time, the brothels hadn't even opened yet, busy with cleanliness.

However, Ox knew very well about Mika's background. Over at East Shore, there were still quite a few decent schools, not to mention a big city like Londen City.

And not all the students were from aristocratic families. Even if they had a bit of money at home, the hefty tuition required them to work and study. Female students couldn't do heavy manual labor, relying only on talent. At this very moment, Mika might be squatting around the school, supporting impoverished students.

This time, just dividing the clean money alone amounted to twenty-five Gold Dragons. Once the stolen jewels were sold off through a channel, it would be another dozen or so shiny coins engraved with the eternal and Time Dragon symbol of Aran National Church. Even if educated individuals with excellent grades and conduct demanded a higher price, copper coins wouldn't do the trick—it had to be silver coins. Mika would be able to have a blast.

But having seen Mika conduct the inspection so many times, even a fool could have learned. Ox had his own methods. Those with obvious rashes or skin diseases didn't even need to be told; they could roll out immediately.

"Open your mouth."

Ox was checking these expendables' teeth, tongue coating, and whether there were any lumps swollen on both sides of their necks. Although Ox didn't understand the principles, as long as there were no apparent problems, it was okay.

Ox even went as far as to firmly squeeze these people's limbs to see if their muscles and bones were strong. Even the healthy ones screamed when squeezed, and the sick ones would faint on the spot.

"Alright, you pass. Wait on the ship. The guy who looks like a dog will be your officer; he'll lead you to your quarters. Eight silver coins a month, the same as the navy. Sometimes Admiral His Excellency might delay the military pay, but we won't. If that's fine by you, then get aboard. Keep your sign visible. Other pitiful ships don't offer this treatment, and you get meat every day. Tie your head to your belt tightly. Next!"
