The Marlene incident didn't make much of a difference in someone's life, not even in that group of children. Born on the streets, they are accustomed to seeing their companions frozen to death and starved to death, killed by monsters found in the sewers, and the death of a girl brings nothing.

But in the other case, there is a profound change. To paraphrase what the old black dragon Augustus said to Lin one day: Ezio has grown up.

Lin's attitude towards those children has changed, and it hasn't changed. What has changed is that he spends a little time every day paying attention to the children's condition; What hasn't changed is that he still doesn't intervene directly. Because the situation is just like Fen said, if you don't seriously want to change anything, don't make some half-baked changes, it's better to keep things as they are.

So someone continued to be lazy with peace of mind, and then was targeted by the elder.

It was none other than Ke Yin, the goddess of gold coins, who was eyeing Lin. This god who does not show mountains and water, and his strength has been improved like this.

If we take one country and one bank as the standard, there are still seventy or eighty percent of the blank market waiting to be explored. As the driving force behind everything, it was certainly impossible for Lin to let him go to a certain village or town to explain the benefits of the bank to the common people who might not necessarily know a few big characters.

But at the level of some places, it is not possible to persuade the other party by sending an elf over at random. And that's not even about the invitations, it's just a trap designed to lure the elves over, and then capture and imprison them.

When encountering this kind of malicious person, if it was the style of the Turtledove Alliance in the past, then it would definitely ask a vote of elves to wash the floor and wash it with the blood of the other party. It's just that today the elves and the World Tree are doing things for Ke Yin, and the identity of the non-human race makes it necessary for them to restrain this drastic tactic so as not to incur the resentment of other potential collaborators.

Luckily, I went out on a mission...... The elves who promote banking business are all wearing elven robes and following the planned route to do the promotion. The way out and back are also moved by the flashing technique of the World Tree Flow, which saves time and effort.

That is to say, as long as they encounter a trap, the elves have a single thought, which is enough for the conspirators to break through the defenses of the elven robe, and let the world tree use flashing magic to pull the elves back into the tribe. Except for being targeted, so it's not in a good mood, and it won't be seriously harmed.

The elves are not without means of revenge, but there is no need to escalate the conflict and put the conflict on the table.

At most, such conspirators will be blacklisted and the bank's business will be promoted around each other. There is no need to bite the bullet and ask someone to accommodate the bank's business in a low voice.

Privately...... Of course, I don't do anything. After all, there is a conflict of interest, and if something happens to the other party, it is easy to be implicated, which damages the reputation of the goddess and the elf. In the face of the greater good, without violating principles, it is not difficult to compromise a little.

Besides, banks are not like direct sales or pyramid schemes on the earth, they have to use all kinds of tricks to steal and deceive, and make people stupidly pay for things that are not practical. The attitude of the elves and the goddesses has always been very simple, love comes, and does not come to pull down.

But when the level of the face is higher than a certain level, just letting the elves come forward is not enough to represent the goddess of gold coins, so Lin, the voter, needs to carry the cards.

If only the bishop of the original gold coin goddess believer would have stepped in. But according to what Ke Yin said, those are all old men who can give their feet to power when they go far away, so don't toss others. Of the cards that the Goddess of Gold has in her hand, someone is the only energetic lad.

As soon as these words came out, Lin suddenly felt like he had been deceived into a thief ship......

In short, the invitation that Ke Yin took and put in front of Lin's eyes would not be a small remote country place, and at worst, it would be an invitation from the kingdom level. Among them, because he had some doubts about the banking business, he hoped that the Church of the Golden Coin Goddess would send someone to come forward to explain, and the invitation that attracted Lin's attention the most came from three places: the Silk Country, the Haider Empire, and the Karlsruhe Empire in the south of the Lost Land.

The first two were sent official documents, but they were just the kind of rigid official documents. However, the invitation sent by the Karlsruhe Empire, in addition to the official documents, also included an invitation letter written and signed by its empress St. Allegria, which was the most sincere.

With the invitations of the two empires in front of him, it was certainly impossible for Ke Yin to ask Lin to deal with those small kingdoms first. The Silk Country's meeting was due to the fact that the documents were sent along with the documents of the Haider Empire. The two invitations were put together, and Ke Yin didn't make the decision to open them.

In other words, Lin's actual choice was to choose one of the two empires for a business trip. However, this does not mean that the side that was not picked will be left out in the cold.

No matter how poor the efficiency of the work of the Lost Land, the consequences of neglecting an empire are not acceptable even to a god. The other party directly came to a belief ban from the bottom of the kettle, and the gods were about to jump. Therefore, it is estimated that Ke Yin will find a way to promote someone's identity and let him go to the invitation of the other party, and even do not rule out appearing in person.

As for the two options, how to choose? In all fairness, due to the influence of the previous Silk Incident, although I don't know if there will be a follow-up, the invitation of the Silk Country and the Haider Empire feels like a self-imposed net under the premise of a conflict of interest.

Even with the dignity of the Haider Empire, he does not care about the actions of a small person like himself. I'm troubled here, but I'm just self-righteous and unfounded. But if there are people within the empire who hold grudges and pull themselves back, it may cause trouble. Even if it is not a design frame-up, it will create trouble under preconceived notions.

But the Karlsruhe Empire. Thinking of the era of the Great Sage's Tower, the hearty female warrior who had a relationship with each other may be the current empress, and Lin's heart was a little warm. After all, there was a sleep at the time, and now I have received a handwritten letter from the other party.

But the handwritten letter and invitation were given to the goddess of gold coins, and the past of the Great Sage's Tower period was also ten years ago. Whether the love at that time is still retained now, and you can even ask whether you are still remembered, it is a question. This does not take into account the fact that the empress is not the person she knows at all.

In other words, going to the Karlsruhe Empire, it is possible that it is under the halo of the Coin electorate, and in fact it does not help in other ways. And the situation is similar when going to the Haider Empire, but there may be some villains who are ready to calculate themselves. In that case, it seems that it is not difficult to decide where to go.

It's just that...... The idea of not wanting to work still occupies the majority. Is there that kind of easy, you can flicker around in the past? Someone wailed inwardly.

Suddenly, an uninvited guest interrupted Lin's thoughts. The familiar voice said lazily, "Yo, an invitation from the Empire." Is this an autograph from the Empress? Did I tell you that my family is in Neuquén, the capital of the Empire? Speaking of which, I haven't been back for a long time. ”

The person who spoke was a white swordmaster in a white robe, William? Greco. After bringing people from the Silk Country and the Haider Empire a while ago, they became diners in this house.

As for the background of this white sword saint, it is rumored that he is the only one in the world who belongs to the Turtledove Alliance. However, unlike the other fanatical anti-authoritarians, William's reason for being in the League was simply that he had many friends in the League, and he himself had no particular inclinations.

In line with the taboo of making shallow words, Lin rarely inquired about his friends' **. But since the other party took the initiative to mention it, and it had something to do with his own affairs, Lin asked a few more words. First asked, "Family?" Is it an aristocracy? ”

"No, it's just a family of civilians." William seemed to have no taboos, poured himself a glass of wine as usual, took a sip and said, "But I haven't been back for a long time, maybe they have been promoted to the nobility, maybe there is no half of them left." ”

This...... I feel like there's a lot of story behind it. Lin asked, "Haven't been back for a long time?" How long? ”

William tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Since my mother died, I have left. There are also ten or twenty years. ”

This guy is not the kind of freak who remembers everything clearly, and counts the days down to the minute. So Lin was not surprised by such a rough answer. It's okay not to answer, but the more you answer, the heavier the fog becomes. Someone's heart of gossip is on fire!

"Why did you leave, could it be your mother'......" Lin asked tentatively, not daring to speak too plainly and offend people.

William didn't really care, shook his hand, and said, "It's not that complicated, my mother died of illness." I got a little bored with that home, and I wanted to see everywhere, so I left. ”

"Your father's side?"

"Alive, should." William said uncertainly: "Anyway, I have enough brothers and sisters, and there are many people in my uncle's generation. There is no more than me, and no less than me. What's the matter, ask about these? ”

The Sword Master, who is suspected of suffering from reflex arc hypertrophy, even if he thinks of someone's question similar to the net worth investigation, is there any intention behind it. That's when he asked.

Lin didn't hide it, picked up the empress's handwritten letter, shook it, and said, "It's not because of the bank's business, you may need to go over." I would like to ask if you can find someone from the area and help me tell me about the local situation. So that I don't have a dark eye or do things that violate other people's taboos. You mentioned that your family is in Neuquén, and I wondered if I could ask your family for a favor. ”

Fearing that such a request might be difficult for someone who has been away from home for too long, Lin added: "These things don't go too deep, just help me briefly introduce the local area." If there's something embarrassing, it's okay to say no. ”

William said without hesitation: "That's easy, I'll take you back for a trip." My mother also had old servants who were familiar with her in the past, and if things were not difficult, she could just go to them. Well, if they're still around. ”

Lin was also a little surprised to agree so readily. Q: "No problem, right?" ”

"Absolutely. But I have to say that if my family is out of Neuquén because of departure, or other reasons, then I can't help. I don't have much of an impression of the city, and I don't have any friends to hang out with. ”

"You left early?"

Nodding, William said, "Well, very early. Left as a teenager. ”
