085 Dependents
The transportation on the mainland is quite developed, and the modes of transportation are relatively diverse. γFengyun Reading Networkγ
The magic teleportation array is a controlled mode of transportation, except for the joint approval of the magic union and the country to which the teleportation point belongs, it is generally not used in other cases, and the teleportation point is also guarded and controlled by the magic union, and many ordinary people have only heard of such a thing in their lifetime, but have never seen it with their own eyes.
After all, no country would like people who are too wandering, and they are like wandering criminals, and the first thing is that it will bring great trouble to the household registration management. Especially if someone has bad intentions and wants to make some trouble, it is too convenient, especially in the time of war, if the teleportation point is really placed outside, a random magician can directly send the enemy into the city and merge with the outside...... This battle was fought, and you didn't even need to attack the city gates and walls, and everyone had the skills to throw them.
The long-distance transportation on the mainland is generally open to the general public, both air and land, which are carried by the domesticated monsters or ordinary horses and other transport forces, and there are short stops near each city, each station varies in length from 10 minutes to about an hour, so that guests can let go of the wind and water, and also change the transport capacity by the way, so as to continue the next station operation.
In general, mainland traffic is inferior to earth transportation, but it can be regarded as having a certain scale, and it is much more formal than Lin Su's imagination, originally she thought that she and others were going to join a caravan or something on the road, and then maybe they could meet a group of bandits, bandits, and monsters on the road...... Now it seems that the reality is still a lot less passionate than imagined......
Of course, if you want to do a self-driving trip, you must be faster, first of all, you don't have to stop at every stop on the road, and secondly, the speed of Warcraft is definitely higher than that of ordinary traffic Warcraft, such as the magic general's Yeji luxury carriage...... If Lin Su wants, he can actually ride the white tiger all the way and fly thousands of miles a day. But the two most critical problems, first, she is too young, and there is no adult around her who is too eye-catching. Second, she doesn't know the road......
When Lin Shu finally arrived in the imperial capital, it had been more than a month, and during this time, the little prince had reappeared and regained his exposure in front of the public.
Because the royal family of Tobiro has a good relationship with the news of the prince's disappearance, the uninformed people below do not know that the little prince of their country has been missing for half a year, so they naturally have no worries and anxiety in their hearts. The prince is not there, they don't know. Live your own little life, the prince is back, they still don't know, and they still live their own little life.
The simple people of Tobiro have truly done it...... You are there, or you are not. I'm right here, not sad, not happy......
At most, it's when someone coldly sees a small potato at an event. Suddenly remembered that this person hadn't shown his face for a long time, and then surprised his companion...... "Ah! You see, that's not Prince Alphaed?! It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen him at an event...... By the way, which vegetable stall was cheaper last time?! β¦β¦β
For the people's good adaptability, Yafeld Little Potato was speechless. Although the nervousness of being afraid that someone would ask embarrassing questions has been relieved, but at the same time, he is also a little disappointed - don't the people of the imperial capital miss him?!
The royal family is about maintaining an image. Nervousness cannot be shown about his disappearance, because the kingdom needs stability. The people don't know anything, they don't even know that he has disappeared because he has nothing to do with their lives.
Unexpectedly, the little potato suddenly missed Lin Shu a little, especially the little figure that fell from the sky on the night he escaped...... Maybe he can only meet such a unique person in his life, and when he is in danger, he will find it out without hesitation, and the eyes of others will not care at all...... The main thing is that she doesn't have to care......
As soon as Xiao Lin Su, who was missed by Yafeyd, arrived in the imperial capital, he was directly carried to the assassin guild before he could experience the prosperity of the imperial capital.
One is because who told her that she has no guardian now. can only be attached to other people's names. The second is that the four fathers of the Assassin Guild are also panicked, after hearing about the little girl from their respective sons and the president, they all want to see what kind of person this little girl is. By the way, it would be better if I had the opportunity to add some blockage to the other party.
The Assassins' Guild is located in the Underground Market, which is, of course, underground. The entrance is under the floor of a seemingly desolate tavern in the ghetto of the imperial capital. It takes about ten minutes to walk through the passage to reach the exit...... It is said that this was once a dwarven settlement, so the safety of the site is absolutely guaranteed, at least there will be no collapse accidents or anything, so it is safe to change it into an unsightly underground trading market.
The kingdom must also know about such a place, after all, no ruling party is stupid, and so many people are constantly rushing to the broken tavern under their noses, even the most stupid people can know that there must be a problem here. It's just some kind of tacit understanding...... If you don't cause trouble, I won't move you, and if I have something inconvenient to put on the surface one day, I can find a place to solve it...... Something like that.
The surface building of the Assassin Guild has three floors, the first floor is the reception hall, and anyone can come in and wander around, mainly for the client to fill out the commission registration form. The second floor is equivalent to the exclusive use of VIP customers, and the kind of customers with a relatively high status or a relatively large commission remuneration are received by the staff on the second floor. The third floor belongs to the administrative district, and only the high-level officials of the trade union can enter, and idle people are not allowed to enter without introduction.
In addition, the union has a basement that is used for temporary rest or training for the members of the union. Each floor is staffed with guards, receptionists, and waiters...... There is also the equivalent of a steward who is the lobby manager.
"Hey! If you stop me again, I'll turn my face, I just said that I just went out for a walk, and I won't let ...... away" Lin Su's face was very dark, very dark. As soon as they entered the gate of the union just now, the four fools actually left her unusually bold, and called such a steward to take care of her, but they followed them, but they went directly upstairs to find their respective fathers...... This is obviously a psychological tactic, it must be some old man who contacted the four fools during the trip, and specially arranged such a play, thinking that the child would be left to dry for a while, and let her be nervous and nervous alone in the "terrible" assassin union or something......
This "terrible" was not what she thought, but an adjective that the steward repeatedly mentioned in half an hour. Originally, Lin Su didn't feel anything, but it was too suspicious to mention this word over and over again in a sentence.
"Child, the president will come down soon, I will be very embarrassed if you leave now......" The steward pretended to be a bleak old man in an attempt to provoke the other party's respect for the old and love for the young, and coughed twice very fakely: "Why don't you tell me what you want?!" Shall I ask someone to go to the Efeld shop and bring you some candy back?! β
ββ¦β¦ To be honest, it really doesn't matter to me that you're not embarrassed. The corners of Lin Su's mouth twitched: "Besides, you are pretending to be too fake, I just want to cooperate and feel that it is too insulting to my IQ...... Either I'll call the president down right away, or I'll go out for a spin and come back. I'm your client, and I don't want to restrict my personal freedom like that. β
Before the steward could speak, a masked man who had just entered the door next to him couldn't help but choke out laughing when he heard this: "A little doll also said that she was a customer ......of the Assassin Guild...... Good boy. Tell my brother who you want to kill?! Was it lifted by some bad boy?! Or who threw the frog into your cute lunch basket?! β
"Xiaobai, throw it out!" Lin Su was in a bad mood and casually commanded. The little furball, who was lying on Lin Shu's feet just now, received the order, and was very obedient and meowed, and pounced, instantly changing into a fierce white giant tiger with a tiger's mouth. Directly picked up the unlucky guy who was still laughing just now and took off into the air.
In an exclamation, the unlucky guy was stunned for a moment and wanted to draw his sword and struggle, but was stunned by a claw. Without the power to resist, he was accurately thrown into the middle of the road outside the door by the big white tiger.
A few people in the union instantly rushed out to collect garbage in the middle of the road, moved the unconscious man back, and disappeared into the back room with a cloud of smoke. The steward wiped a cold sweat even more...... Day! This is what the president said about impolite children?!
He couldn't know the identity of the unlucky guy, although he wasn't a top master. But it's good to say that he is also one of the assassins belonging to his own union, and he doesn't bring such a second-kill to the general masters.
Could it be that I have eaten too much tip recently, and I will always have the heart to rectify myself?! The steward wanted to cry, and he suddenly regretted patting his chest and taking the errand.
Fortunately, there was such a big commotion, and the chairman was finally forced out of the turtle shell. What happened just now made him understand, this is not an ordinary child, and it is pure nonsense to use the psychological tactics of scaring ordinary children to scare people, and people are not worried or afraid at all, but they still think that they dare not see her......
Really. As soon as he appeared, he saw Lin Su's eyes light up and waved his hand: "Uncle, you finally dare to show your face?!" β
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" President was stimulated: "I was just busy with something just now, I'm really sorry." β
"Nothing. It's not like it's good to hide for the rest of your life Otherwise, you will lose a lot of money on food alone, and I think your union is too enthusiastic. It seems that there is a steward to serve closely...... Although the person is about to grow a little. "At least the old man in his fifties is still polite, that's quite a promise.
"......" is really hurtful to speak...... The president and the steward were depressed together.
The hall began to be lively again, and everyone was not surprised that the chairman appeared, and it was not that they had never seen it before. The point is that I am very surprised that the child will come out to receive a child, saying that this child has a high status, not very similar. Say what's so special about her...... Does raising a demon tiger and having a bad mouth count?!
"Let's go up and talk." The president also realized that this was not the place to speak, so he waved off the steward and let him continue to be busy, and he took Lin Su directly to the third floor.
The four assassins had been on the third floor all along, and they also knew clearly what was happening below through magic projections, so they naturally knew how bad Lin Su's mood was now.
Seeing the man coming, the four assassins were more silent than the other, their heads lowered beyond their heads, trying to imagine themselves as the background. Lin Shu was in no mood to find trouble with the four stupid people, so he glanced at the past and let them go, pretending not to hear the big sigh of relief in his ears.
"You may be seated." The president politely invited Lin Su to sit down, and after a while, he said, "Child, we came to you mainly to talk about the task......
"I remember that the remuneration has already been negotiated, what questions do you have?!"
"That's right, we used to accept assassination commissions, and we never made any deals in intelligence investigations." The chairman was a little embarrassed: "After all, this is a new form of commission. The former only needs the client to provide us with the task goal, and then we can directly implement it. The latter had no clue, except for one contact with the connector when we took the task. There is no other contact ...... "Interlacing is like a mountain, investigating intelligence and killing people are two different things, although the former is also involved, but after all, it is not professional."
When I first took over the commission, I mainly thought that the four stupid boys of my union were held in their hands, so they had to take things down, but many things don't mean that they just have the courage to do it...... This is not a hot-blooded anime, the protagonist has infinite golden fingers to open, and no matter how difficult the environment is, as long as the small universe erupts, the crisis can be resolved.
Love and courage may save the planet, but love and courage will never send information from heaven to them......
"So you mean the mission is a bit difficult?!" Lin Shu nodded in understanding.
"If only you understood." The president breathed a sigh of relief, "If this commission is going to continue, I hope you can give us some clues." β
"It's already provided." Lin Su spread his hands: "The time and place of the little prince's poisoning." and the time and place when he was exiled by the turbulence of time and space...... I don't have any secrets hidden from these known clues. β
ββ¦β¦ That's not enough. β
"Then it can't be helped." Lin Shu was helpless: "It's because we don't know the situation, so we entrusted you to investigate." So after I provide everything I can offer, the rest is yours and none of my business...... If you have to worry about everything, why should I entrust you with all the trouble?! There's too much money to bite and there's nowhere to throw it?! β
President ...... silently spat blood. That's true...... Justified: "...... At the very least, I wish I could have had a chance to meet the little prince once. β
"There's a chance." Lin Shu waved his hand impatiently: "Change the subject, I didn't wait outside for so long like a fool to talk to you about these bad things." β
"...... "Who entrusted these bad things?" will run in tears, this kid is too unreasonable.
"The main reason I came to your union this time was to ask. What are the requirements if I want to join your union?! Lin Su's words were not shocking, and he was thunderous as soon as he opened his mouth.
The president and the four little killers vomited blood and screamed: "You want to be an assassin?!" β
"Why not?!" That's what she's done. Of course, he couldn't say that, Lin Shu wanted to bring out the reason on the surface: "Your son also knows that I have no guardian." If you want to legally settle down and live in the imperial capital, there are only two ways, one is to go to an orphanage. The second is to find a family or organize adoption...... You also know that if you run into a human trafficker in the secret, it will be ruined, even if it is a regular unit, the children will inevitably have to do some work every day, which is too inconsistent with my life philosophy......"
"But you...... You can also find a family to adopt. The little Assassin captain stammered a little, apparently too stimulated to come back to his senses for a while: "I remember that you had a very good relationship with Prince Arfeld, and you saved him, helped him with tasks, and bullied me for him...... Ahem! I mean, as long as the royal family comes forward. There is a high chance that you will be adopted by a noble family, and it is not impossible to even live in the royal palace. β
"Life without career pursuit is pale......" Lin Shu looked at the vicissitudes of life, pouted and said again: "Say it again." The life of the aristocracy is not for me, and it takes three or four hours for me to have afternoon tea. It's also too decadent. β
"But you even thought of being an assassin...... "The president was still a little unacceptable. First of all, this little girl is so young that even since the beginning of the ancient war, she has never heard of a five-year-old child being an assassin...... Of course, she can also be trained and raised in the union under the name of the union first, but another key problem is that the character of others is a little unacceptable......
"Don't be so surprised. I mean it's really not good, just take it as a name, you don't even have to care about the accommodation and food, anyway, from time to time someone comes out with me to show his face, to prove that this child is raised by adults. "Lin Su actually doesn't care, maybe she has no way to make money, but first of all, she will definitely not starve to death, and if it really doesn't work, she can go to the palace to ask for the little prince's child support and relief fees, and the other party can't be too stingy.
The president is also a person who has seen the wind and waves, and at a glance, he knows that Lin Shu is not joking...... "That's it, you hang under Lawrence's name......"
"President!!" Lawrence screamed as if he had been qj.
"His father is the vice president of our union, and it is very simple to arrange the identity of a child." Lao Tzu didn't hear anything, and the president plucked out his ears and continued: "Externally, you can call yourself his daughter or sister. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you think this kid can be so powerful?! Lin Su tactfully accused the president of molesting children: "At least I don't think most people will have a daughter as old as me at his age." β
"Maybe Lawrence is hidden?!"
ββ¦β¦β
At the end of the talks, both sides expressed considerable satisfaction. Lin Su's satisfaction is, of course, because he has a legitimate foothold, and the old man's satisfaction lies in being able to throw a little devil into the old opponent's house...... From the mouths of his son and the other three children, he at least knew that this little girl was very good at mixing potions, even if she didn't have a good personality, it was a good deal to train an alchemist for the union in advance.
Of course, investment also has to pay attention to the issue of risk, so he decided to arrest the vice president to dedicate ......
Lawrence was the only one who felt lost, shocked, and even betrayed during this negotiation, and he couldn't figure out why he suddenly had an extra sister out of thin air, or was he so ...... It's a character that makes people feel very entangled.
"By the way, I have a question for you." Before dragging his newly baked brother in a trance to go out, Lin Shu turned around and was curious: "Seeing that you are so ruthless and framing political opponents, it should not be a simple brain, how can you cultivate such a ...... Uh, I mean the son of purity?! Of course, she knew that she was thrown out as a hot potato, and it would be stupid to feel good about herself without realizing this at all.
It seems that even the Assassin Guild has a problem with competition for power. I just don't know how the other party can see that he will definitely block this Lawrence family?!
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!" The president coughed a few times in embarrassment: "In the past few years, I was busy with tasks, and the child was left to his mother to educate ......" After he is free, this character that should be stereotyped has been finalized, and a good president successor will grow into a generation of pure white rabbits, what can I do?! In fact, he was also very helpless...... Of course, this is also to blame, I didn't like a virtuous woman who is gentle like water......
"Tut-tut! Therefore, the issue of children's family education is very important......" Lin Shu suddenly said.
It's the same as on the earth, after a child comes out, six people want to interfere, parents, grandparents, grandparents...... The educational philosophy of a family sometimes inevitably conflicts, so contradictions arise from this, and even a little trivial thing can be put on the line.
This one is strict, that one is soft, this one says to be pampered, that one says to be free-range, this one wants elite education, and that one wants free development...... Generally, the person closest to the child always has the deepest impact on the child, others either live far away, or are busy with work, if the child will teach the child, forget it, in case one will not bring, and when others find out, it is generally careless to look back on the body for a hundred years...... I only have to repent of pounding the ground.
Of course, the situation of the president's family is not easy to evaluate, from the perspective of ordinary people, a good son with a pure personality should not be despised, but the problem is that he has a relatively special family on this basis, so this evaluation standard is a bit complicated.
Lin Su believed that the walls of the old man's house must be about to be scratched by himself, and this entanglement was not something that ordinary people could experience.
"Hehe, then you're busy, I'll take my brother back to see where he lives." Satisfying her curiosity, Lin Shu waved her hand and took away a brother and left, her business was done, and she had to hurry up to find a place to live. I think that the thin old man doesn't want to be an eyesore in his house.
It's really not okay, the tent is in front of their house today for one night?! (To be continued)
