Chapter 438: Specially hired by the God of Death, a farewell gift!
“Mr. Broly, why did you come to the roof?”

The window was quickly opened, and Princess Martina, who was dressed in a dress, asked directly.

“The guy down there is so annoying.”

Broly told the truth, there were already some chicken bones on the plate that was brought to the side.

“That just proves you’re very popular with those girls.”

The half-man shota, who is both strong and good-looking, is indeed a favorite bed partner for many people according to the aesthetic standards of the nobles of the Kingdom of King Dragon.

“I don’t need their welcome. I’ve already met the person, and he’s not the one I’m looking for. I’ll be back after dinner. Princess Martina, if you have anything to say, you’d better speak directly.”

Broly reminded.

Hearing this, Princess Martina was stunned, her expression became solemn, and she made way for the window and said, “Okay, but please come in and discuss in detail.”

Broly entered the palace and was invited into a room. Princess Martina sat down opposite him and asked Broly to sit there too.

“My husband, including me, had six wives, but now there are only four left. The fourth and fifth princesses died due to various accidents after their pregnancies were confirmed. Lord Broly, can you understand what is going on here?”

“Was she killed by another princess?”

“Ah.”

“Your husband, the King of Wanglong Kingdom, doesn’t care?”

“He is a man who loves the new and dislikes the old. He is currently doting on the Sixth Princess, and as for the concubines he has lost interest in, as long as they don’t make him lose face, he won’t care much, unless, like the First and Second Princesses, they have a strong enough family to support them.”

“Okay, but what does this have to do with me?”

“This has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me. I am already pregnant, but I am very worried that something unexpected will happen to me one day, and the baby in my belly will die.

Therefore, I need enough guards, Lord Broly, I want to hire you as my personal guard, to stay by my side and protect my safety before I give birth to my child. As for the remuneration, I will satisfy you. “

“Don’t you already have guards around you?”

Broly asked in confusion. Although the Sword King and Water Saint’s strength were not that great in his opinion, they were still quite good masters in this world.

“Are you talking about Sean and Frett? They are indeed very capable, but as men, they cannot always protect my safety.”

Princess Martina explained.

“I am also a male.”

Broly warned.

“But you…excuse me, you look like a child.”

If it is said that before meeting Broly, Princess Martina only listened to the advice of her confidants and tried to win over an emperor-level powerful person.

Well, after actually seeing Broly’s appearance, the third princess became more determined to keep him by her side as a guard.

Looking young has its advantages. At least when entering places like the palace and the harem, a child-like person will not easily make the heartless husband feel uncomfortable.

“My body is already 13 years old.”

Broly said with a frown.

[Does the life span of a halfling translate to 13 years in human years? ]

Princess Martina thought so and said, “You are the best guard I am looking for.”

“Sorry, I’m not interested in being a bodyguard for others.”

“The reward is easy to negotiate. I can offer you 15 Royal Dragon gold coins per month.”

“I’m looking for my destiny. I won’t stay in one place for long.”

Princess Martina wanted to say something, but after seeing the unmoved expression of the Saiyan boy, she sighed: “Well, Lord Broly, I am sorry to bother you.”

“Thank you for your hospitality tonight. If Princess Martina has any short-term employment tasks, I am willing to help you complete them as long as the price is right.”

“Not yet, thank you.”

Princess Martina breathed a sigh of relief. Although she failed to obtain a halfling guard who had no close connection with the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of King Dragon, at least she gained the favor of the emperor-level powerful man in front of her.

“Princess Martina.”

“Mr. Broly, is there anything else you can do for me?”

“Can you introduce me to the chef who made this roast chicken?”

Broly asked, pointing to the plate of chicken bones next to him.

“Well, that’s no problem, but what do you want to do?”

“I have a friend who I just met. He owns a restaurant and is looking for a chef. I think the roast chicken tastes good, so I want to ask the roast chicken chef if he is willing to work in my friend’s restaurant.”

Princess Martina understood, but she reminded him: “The salary of the court chefs in the Wanglong Kingdom is not low, and their status is not bad. If your friend wants to poach a court chef, he may need to offer a higher price.”

“He has plenty of money, so he should be able to get it.”

Broly thought about how calm Randolph was when he lost money to treat the meal, and felt that there should be no problem.

The palace chef was brought over quickly. He was a middle-aged man, and when he heard that someone wanted to poach him to work as a chef in a restaurant outside, he was naturally reluctant.

“Your Highness Martina, I have two sons and a daughter to support at home. Please don’t let me lose this precious job.”

The middle-aged chef could not refuse directly, so he could only kneel down and ask the princess to be kind.

“How about this, I will keep your position as a court chef for the time being. Go to Broly’s friend’s restaurant to see the situation. If the treatment there is attractive to you, then decide whether to change your job.”

Princess Martina wanted to please Broly, but she didn’t want to embarrass her servants, so she spoke to the court chef named Warren Lake.

“Thank you, Your Highness Martina…”

Knowing that this might be the best outcome, the court chef quickly expressed his gratitude.

Broly told the other party the location of the Death Restaurant, made an appointment to take him there for an application tomorrow, and then said goodbye and left.

. . . . .

“what happened?”

Warren Lake returned home. His wife saw his melancholy and asked him.

“My skill in roasting chicken seems to have been noticed by a big shot.”

The middle-aged chef said.

“Isn’t this a good thing?”

His wife was a little puzzled.

“That lord wants me to quit my position as a court chef and work as a chef in a restaurant outside.”

The man explained to his wife what happened in the palace that night.

“Her Highness Martina is such a good person. She is willing to keep her position as a court chef for you. What do you have to be afraid of?”

“I’m afraid those big shots are just talking, and when I leave, I won’t be able to go back to the palace kitchen.”

“If you can’t go back, then you can’t go back. You only earn two silver and twenty copper coins a month. Our family can barely make ends meet. It’s better for you to go out and work on your own.”

“What do you know? If I hadn’t been a cook in the palace, would our son have been able to follow those young masters from noble families and go to the swordsman school to be a servant?”

The man’s voice was a little louder, waking up his infant daughter, who started crying. The woman quickly patted her daughter’s chest to comfort her, and whispered to her husband, “I just said that…”

Hearing his wife’s soft words, the man softened his tone as well: “But you’re right, the children have grown up and will need more money. If I can change to a high-paying job, it would be a good thing.”

. . . .

“This is the restaurant you might work at.”

The next day, Warren arrived at the agreed location, and after being taken to the door of a restaurant by the little Broly, he was stunned.

The restaurant decorated with all kinds of hideous animal bones looks intimidating, and when he sees the skeleton-like boss inside, he is even more frightened.

No matter how well he is treated in a restaurant like this, there is no way he will stay!
“Broly, who is this?”

Randolph glanced at the middle-aged man who was clearly terrified, and asked the Saiyan boy in front of him.

Broly told the story about how he went to the palace of the Kingdom of King Dragon yesterday and attended a banquet invited by the third princess Martina. He ate delicious roast chicken at the banquet and asked the princess for the chef who made the roast chicken.

“However, you have to offer Mr. Warren a salary that satisfies him so that he will switch to your restaurant.”

Randolph nodded, walked forward and said, “Mr. Warren…” “Yes, I’m here. What can I do for you?”

“I wonder how much you earn per month as a court chef in the palace?”

“Two, er, no, four silver coins.”

Warren Lake didn’t want to work in this creepy restaurant, so he simply lied about his salary as a court chef.

“Is that so? I’ll give you eight silver coins a month. Are you willing to stay here and work for me?”

Randolph didn’t know the specific market conditions and didn’t doubt what the other party said, so he doubled the monthly salary that the other party had falsely reported and asked.

“Boss, please let me call you that!”

The fear in his heart was cleared away at some point, and Warren Lake looked at Randolph with eager eyes.

At this moment, although Randolph looked like a skeleton, he was so bright in this man’s eyes.

After all, this is a job that pays eight silver coins a month. What is a court chef?
“Won’t you try his roast chicken?”

Broly asked curiously.

“I’m willing to believe you, but since you’ve said that, let’s try his craft.”

Randolph nodded, looked at Warren and said, “You can use the ingredients in the kitchen as you like. If there is not enough or if there is anything missing, you can tell me and we will eat the food you cook for lunch.”

“Yes, Boss. Well, besides roasting chicken, my best dish is roasting fish…”

Warren Lake was very motivated to get this high-paying chef job.

Broly was kept, and Randolph, the owner of the Death Restaurant, invited him to lunch.

“How’s it going, Boss, Master Broly?”

At noon, Warren served his specialty.

“very good.”

Broly nodded in approval.

“Although I like more spicy seasoning, your grilled fish is indeed delicious.”

Randolph nodded as well.

Not only them, but also many passers-by smelled the fragrance.

Some of them have already peeked out of the windows, trying to see what’s going on inside the Death Restaurant.

“Delicious fish and roasted chicken cooked by the palace chef. Would you like to try them?”

Broly extended an invitation to the passers-by who were looking out the window.

“how much is it?”

The invited passerby was a little reserved, but because of the fragrance, he still asked a question.

“How to price it?”

Broly asked Randolph.

“The price is 30% higher than the cost of the ingredients.”

Randolph immediately replied that this was the pricing rule of the restaurant passed down from generation to generation in the Marian family.

The chickens and fish used were not rare species. Although chicken was not cheap as meat, fish was relatively cheap here near the harbor.

After learning that they could eat a delicious grilled fish for only 26 copper coins, more normal customers suddenly poured into the Death Restaurant.

The fish cost 5 copper coins, the spices cost 15 copper coins, but the finished dish only sold for 26 copper coins. Warren Lake wanted to say that his cooking skills also needed to be paid for, but looking at the skeleton boss who had already made a decision, he did not have the courage to remind him that the price was too low.

“We don’t have enough chicken and fish in stock.”

As more and more customers came into the restaurant, Warren, who had extensive experience in the kitchen, immediately pointed out some shortcomings.

“I’ll buy it right now.”

The restaurant looks like it’s about to be revived, Randolph said with great momentum, and rushed out.

“There are so many furnaces that need tending, and I can’t handle it all by myself.”

Warren, who was busy in the kitchen, didn’t know that his boss had gone out, but he shouted in the kitchen.

“Can I help with anything?”

Broly asked as he walked in.

“Hey, Lord Broly, how can you do such menial work?”

Warren was startled and said.

“Randolph treated me to another meal, so it’s only natural that I help out in his restaurant.”

“Well, then please turn the fish over in the pan when one side is fried until golden brown.”

On this day, Broly did not go out looking for a target to attack. Instead, he worked as a temporary fish frying chef in the kitchen of the Death Restaurant.

At the end of the day, I am not tired at all, but my face is full of oil smoke and my nose seems to be filled with the smell of fried fish.

“Boss Randolph, our restaurant may need some young waiters and some strong helpers in the kitchen.”

The fish and chicken were able to be cleaned in a timely manner thanks to Randolph’s superb knife skills. However, not only did they have to process the ingredients, they also had to listen to the orders from the customers who came to the store and collect the bills, which was not something that could be done by just three people.

“I understand. I will recruit other employees as soon as possible.”

Randolph nodded.

“By the way, can we recruit the front desk lady from the Adventurer’s Guild to be a waitress?”

Broly remembered the Adventurer’s Guild receptionist who had three lumps of flesh on her chest and who had recommended him to this restaurant.

The next day, thanks to Randolph’s high-paying recruitment, the Death Restaurant had some more waitresses who were skilled in serving customers.

Honestly speaking, if someone else were to poach members from the Adventurer’s Guild, the president of the Adventurer’s Guild in Tarakia would definitely be unhappy.

But when it was the Death God, ranked fifth among the seven great powers, who came to his house in person late at night and discussed the employee transfer with him at his bedside, the guild president, who was already quite old and had king-level strength, immediately agreed with both hands and feet.

As long as the Adventurer’s Guild employees agree, he would definitely not dare to block it.

“Well, now that your restaurant is on track, it’s time for me to set off again to the continent of Miris.”

Broly worked as a temporary employee at the Death Restaurant for a week. After Randolph took care of the rest of the kitchen staff, he said goodbye to Randolph, who had recently shown some smiles on his skeleton face.

“So fast?”

Randolph knew that Broly was going to the continent of Milis, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.

However, this was not quick, and Broly would have left much sooner if he hadn’t been treating him to dinner.

“wait……”

Randolph called out to Broly and turned into the kitchen.

After a while, the man came out again with a bag in his hand.

“It contains my special Demon Continent-style seasoning. I don’t have anything else to give you, so consider this as a farewell gift. Although it can’t completely replicate my cooking skills, it can give you 70% to 80% of the taste.”

Randolph handed the bag in his hand to Broly, who was speechless after taking it. He actually didn’t like the food from the Demon Continent.

However, in silence, he felt somewhat moved.

“No need. If I want to eat Demon Continent cuisine, I can just come over to your place.”

Broly handed the seasoning back. When he decided to eat Demon Continent style food, he would come back to Randolph’s Death Restaurant to eat.

“If you really want to give me something, that berry drink would be great.”

Finally, Broly left with a basket of berry drinks.

After arriving at the coast of East Sea Port and confirming the direction of the Milis continent with the nautical chart, Broly took off directly.

At the harbor, whether it was the coolies moving goods, the sailors on the ship, or the passengers on the ship, they all stared with wide eyes, watching him fly into the sky and disappear into the horizon at a very fast speed.
