That is to say, let them go to the capital of the Union.

Well, no problem, she had already planned to do so. Lily thanked the official briefly, and left the town hall with Coventry, where she found a comfortable inn in town, and planned to leave early tomorrow morning.

It has to be said that with enough money, the Fleff Federation is able to provide extremely comfortable services. That night, in addition to a delicious and hearty meal, Lily also took a rare hot bath and fell asleep on the soft and fluffy bed with comfortable fatigue. The next morning, as she had requested, the waiter at the inn brought her a warm towel, water to rinse her mouth, and a nutritious breakfast.

"It's nice to be rich." She said to Coventry as she tasted fresh fruit, a well-fried poached egg and a fragrant bacon. Lily booked an ensuite with two separate bedrooms and a living room yesterday, and the two of them were eating and talking in the living room, "No wonder those nobles of the empire come here for a vacation whenever they have time." ”

"The desire for pleasure will wear out the will." The Saatchi swordsman replied coldly, "I hope you don't forget what you said." ”

"Hmm...... It's boring, you. Lily pursed her lips and reached over to pat the man's shoulder, "Work hard when you should work hard, relax when you should relax, this is normal life?" When you live to be our age...... Or maybe it's only half of it, and you'll definitely understand. ”

The mercenary drank the sweet wine from the glass goblet, wiped the corners of her mouth with a moist towel, and stood up, "Of course we can't break our promise. So, according to the official, find out the new patriarch...... What the hell are you doing here? She grinned and smiled satisfactorily, "We don't have the instincts of that guy Yuffie, but we're sure that guy is the key to a lot of things." ”

……

Four days later, the City of Fortune.

It's hard to imagine a country that would name its capital after 'wealth', but that is a testament to the nature of the federation. As long as there is a profit to be made, both the senators and parliamentarians of the Federation can give flexibility in almost anything. There were many politically minded figures, but on the whole, it was more like an alliance of businessmen to ensure that everyone had a good share of the benefits.

Therefore, after going to the council in the capital and paying a 'reasonable' amount of money, Lily was able to get the news she wanted.

"You said the new patriarch." The middle-aged congressman who received them poured himself a cup of tea first, and then sat back in the soft high-backed chair, and then slowly spoke, "He has provided a lot of financial help to the Federation, and it is natural to get this position." ”

"We didn't ask you about this, we already knew about this." Lily stared at him with a vague dissatisfaction, "Let's want to know what kind of person he is, and how can we meet him?" ”

"It's easy to do." The official rested his elbows on the table and glanced at Lily through his crossed fingertips, "According to common sense, you just need to go to the Bergst Chamber of Commerce with enough 'sincerity' and declare that you want to make a deal with them." As for that person, I don't know much about him personally, but I've heard that he used to be a powerful wizard, and I've heard that wizards are very rich, so it seems to be true. ”

"Wizard ......," the mercenary munched on the word, "have you seen him personally?" ”

"Naturally. He looked like a young man in his thirties, with a confident smile on his face, always draped in a neat black robe. The official tapped his finger on the table, "To be honest, he doesn't look like a businessman, but who cares about such a trivial matter, you count the votes, right?" ”

"What's that person's name?" Coventry suddenly asked coldly.

"Hmm......" The official turned his head, as if taken aback by the man's gaze, and hurriedly looked at Lily with a hint of complaint, "His name is Albert Belo Bergst, and of course, here, the name is often just a code name." ”

Not any name she'd ever heard, Lily thought to herself. However, this was not enough to dispel her concerns - in fact, she already had a bad guess about the identity of the new patriarch, and all she needed was a confirmation.

"Okay, that's it?" She pushed away the teacup in front of her, stood up and waved at the official, "If there is something, we will come to you again." ”

What the official said afterwards, Lily didn't listen to at all. She took Coventry through the bustling street market, inquiring a few passers-by on the way, and in less than half an hour, she arrived at her next destination, the gate of the Bergst Chamber of Commerce.

The main building of the Chamber of Commerce is a large three-story mansion that looks a little old. It appears to have been renovated only recently, with the mansion's exterior repainted and the metal fence that surrounds it polished off rust. It's just that the slightly withered grass and trees in the courtyard still show the predicament of this chamber of commerce.

The two Chamber of Commerce guards standing in front of the door spotted Lily and walked forward quickly, "Stop, mercenary. What's the matter with you? ”

"We have some business, and we want to talk to your president." Lily raised her chin and looked at the other party with a confident gaze, "Excuse me?" Let's just say yes...... The "September" of the Lougland Forest is visiting. ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't see any visitors at this time." The guard bluntly rejected her, "Guys, please come back." ”

In a sense, the nail was also expected by Lily, if the identity of the 'president' was in line with her guesses. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the guard's face, her face not moving at all, "You mean, President Bergst is here, are we right?" ”

"What do you want to do?" The two guards immediately became vigilant and put their hands on the long sword at their waists, "This is the residence of the Elders of the Federation, how dare you-"

His words came to an abrupt halt as Lily cleanly struck him in the back of the neck with her hand, knocking him unconscious. At the same time, Coventry stepped in front of the other guard, his broad palm gripping the other's throat like iron tongs, lifting him into the air.

"Take us to your president." The Thatchians stared at each other with cold eyes, "I won't kill you." ”

The guard's face flushed, but the desire to survive kept him sane. He struggled to catch his breath as he raised his right hand, struggling to point them in the right direction.

The two walked into the mansion and followed the guard's instructions. Coventry kept the guard in check, so that he would not suffocate but was powerless to resist; Lily walked to the side, warily watching her surroundings. Any Chamber of Commerce guard who spotted them and showed hostility would have been knocked down with a single blow, and while injuries were inevitable, they would not have been killed.
