Chapter 329 Competition for Jobs
"Hey, Celithis, you're not so happy that you're stupid!" Pro saw him standing there in a daze, so he joked.

Selisis came back to his senses, quickly bowed to Pro and said gratefully: "Village Chief, thank you for your help!"

He felt that he was just an ordinary one among the hundreds of surrendered people of Segestica. Without Pro's recommendation, how could the divine leader of Nyx know him.

“This has little to do with me. It’s mainly because you behave well. Those officials from various departments who come to the village to inspect every now and then will naturally write your name down on paper and let the superior officers notice it.

Go to the main house quickly and don't keep the guards waiting! Don't worry about your land, I will arrange for others to help your wife to get it ready. After you go to Ophidilla, as long as you work hard for the tribe, you will definitely be valued!" Pro reassured him and encouraged him at the same time.

"I've remembered it. Thank you, village chief!" Celisis kept his gratitude to Pro in his heart and walked quickly towards the village.

Soon, the news that "Selisis was noticed by Chief Nix and promoted to the main village as a tribal official" spread to all the villagers. Everyone was envious and worked more enthusiastically.

Celis followed the guards to the west gate of Ophidilija and this time entered the village without obstruction.

Over the past decade, Selisis has been to the West Village many times, but this time was different from the previous ones - the village was too chaotic: from time to time, people poured out from the houses, and under the command of the Nix soldiers, they formed teams of hundreds of people, blocking the entire alley, and then walked out of the village noisily...

In any alley, Seris had to work hard to squeeze through the crowd and pass through.

During the time that Selisis has been getting along with the Nix people, he has found that they are methodical in their work and manage the village in an orderly manner, which is completely different from the style of the leaders and patriarchs of the Segestica tribe. But what is going on with the chaotic situation in the village now?

Celithis asked the guard, but the guard didn't know either, as he was only responsible for conveying orders and leading people.

Not long after, they arrived at a large courtyard house near the main house of the West Village, and people were constantly coming in and out of the gate.

"What is this place?" asked Celithis.

"Foreign Civilian Administration Department." The guard simply replied and walked in impatiently.

This is where I will work next... Selisis looked around subconsciously. He vaguely remembered that this house seemed to be the residence of a tribal leader trusted by Andres. His wandering eyes finally fell on a wooden sign hanging above the gate, on which were engraved those magical words...

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow me!" the guard urged.

When Celis saw that the guard was already far away from him, he quickly stepped into the courtyard gate and chased after him.

Everyone he met on the road was in a hurry. No one stopped, and no one looked at him curiously as he was a newcomer.

The guards took him to a larger wooden house.

The door of the wooden house was wide open, and as soon as someone came out of the house, the guard walked in.

In the room, there were only wooden shelves and tables. The wooden shelves were leaning against the wall, with volumes of paper on them. The wooden tables were lined up from one end of the wall to the other, and there was a person sitting behind each table. They were all holding pens and writing something, and two of them were children...

While Selysis was still looking around, the guard had already come to the wooden table in the middle, saluted and said, "I have been ordered to bring in Selysis from Village No. 21!"

A middle-aged man was sitting behind the wooden table. He took a previously signed transfer order handed over by Selysis, carefully looked at Prona's scribbled signature, then looked at Selysis and asked seriously, "Are you Selysis?"

"I am!" Celithis nodded vigorously.

The middle-aged man then said to the guard, "Thank you for your hard work!" After thanking him, he handed the guard a "mission accomplished" receipt.

The guard took the receipt and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man said to Selisis, "I am Kseni, the chief officer of the Foreign Auxiliary Civilian Management Department of the Nix Tribe. The Foreign Auxiliary Civilian Management Department is a newly established department of the tribe, jointly governed by the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Works and the Department of Military Affairs. It is responsible for governing all foreign auxiliary civilians in the tribe. So far, the number of foreign auxiliary civilians has exceeded 20,000!——"

The middle-aged man sighed, "We have too few people here, but there are too many foreigners to manage and too many things to do. We can't handle it all, so we have to ask the chief for more subordinates. After discussions between the chief and the heads of various departments, they feel that the foreigners are all Pannonians, and it should be more convenient to let the Pannonians manage them, so we will select the most outstanding Segestica reserve tribesmen from various villages to come here and help us. There are dozens of people selected, and you are just one of them."

The middle-aged man named Kesoni looked serious. "We don't need so many people here, so we have to examine you first. After a month, the ten people with strong abilities and the best performance will be retained, and the others will go back to where they came from! The examination has already begun since the moment the Political Affairs Hall issued the order to transfer you, and you are the last one to arrive in this group!"

When Selisis wanted to explain himself, Kseni said loudly, "I don't want to hear your explanation. If you want to stay here and become an official of the Nix Tribe, you need to prove with your actions in the next month that you have the ability to stay here!

The foreign auxiliary people have been in the West Village for more than half a month. They must start working to be worthy of the food and supplies provided by the tribe every day. There is still a month to the new year. There are still a lot of fields in the tribe that have not been plowed. Your task is to lead 100 foreign auxiliary people to plow these lands. If the team you lead plows a lot of land within this month, and the land is plowed well, you will become a member of our Foreign Auxiliary People Management Department! Do you understand? ! "

"I understand." Selisis nodded.

Kseni picked up a palm-sized wooden sign from the wooden rack behind him and handed it to Serisis. "This is the waist sign of the Foreign Auxiliary Civilian Management Office. You can tie it around your waist. You will not be blocked from entering and leaving the village gate, our place, or the houses where foreign auxiliary civilians live. You will not be checked by patrol teams when you wander around the village."

Serisis hurriedly took the badge and looked at it carefully. Although it was just an oval piece of wood that had been planed to a very smooth surface, it had those magical words engraved on it.

Selysis gently stroked the wooden sign with his fingers, and heard Kseni shout again: "Nannix!"

"Here!" a young man next to him responded.

"Which houses are we going to next?"

"It's Courtyard 53, he has 33 people." The boy replied while looking through the roster on the table, "Courtyard 54 has 32 people, Courtyard 55 has 40 people, totaling 105 people."

"Okay, you'll be in charge of this month..."

"Selysis."

"This month, you, Celis, will lead all the foreign servants in Courtyards 53, 54, and 55 to plow the land." As soon as Kseni finished speaking, the person sitting at another wooden table began to take notes.

"Nanix, take Celisis to these three courtyards now, gather all the foreign auxiliary people in the courtyards, and then ask the people from the Labor Department to take them to the land they are going to cultivate so that they can get familiar with it first."

"Yes."

Kseni looked at Selysis again and said, "If you think it's feasible, you can have those foreign auxiliaries start tilling the land today. Just ask the people in the Ministry of Agriculture for farm tools. Bring them back to their houses at dusk, and then you can come back here and we'll arrange food and lodging for you."

"Come with me." Nanix stood up and led Celisis out of the room.

Seeing that there was no one around, Selysis whispered, "Nannix, are you from Segestica?"

The boy hesitated and replied somewhat reluctantly: "...I used to be, but now I am a Knicks!"

Selisis did not give up and continued to ask: "I have seen a child named Firris in my tribe who came to register with us. He was also from Segestica——"

"He is my good friend, we studied together, but he didn't learn as well as I did." Nanix interrupted. Although his tone was still a little cold, it was obvious that Selisis's words had some effect. He then reminded: "Don't worry, these foreign auxiliaries are relatively well-behaved. Most of them will not run away or make trouble, but they just don't want to do anything.

In order to make them obey orders, the Management Department used methods such as increasing or decreasing food and allowing them to meet with their families to make them submit. If you can make them work more actively, you may be able to win over others. "

When Celisses was in the village, most of the tribesmen came to him for advice, so he understood why Nanix said those foreign vassal people were well-behaved, not noisy, but unwilling to work: they were unwilling to leave their homeland, and they were also worried that wandering in other places would make it difficult for their family to survive, but they were unwilling to surrender to the Nyx, because they still had some persistence in their hearts, and at the same time they also had a fluke, hoping that the Pannonian coalition could defeat the Nyx, regain lost territory, and allow them to return to their homes... In general, these are a group of people who live very twisted lives.

But Selysis was a little confused: "Don't these foreign auxiliaries live with their families?"

"How could they live together! If they were families living together, there wouldn't be so many houses here. Of course, men and women would be separated. The younger children would be with their mothers, and the older children would be taken care of by the staff and teachers of the Ministry of Etiquette..." As Nanix spoke, he thought of his life over the past year and was a little absent-minded.
