From the overall perspective of the administrative divisions of the Laiyin Kingdom, it can be roughly divided into four levels.

Kingdoms, provinces, towns, villages.

One kingdom, sixteen provinces, more than 13,000 towns and countless villages.

The largest province is the royal capital Catalena, with an area of about 900 square kilometers, and the smallest province is Ninggrom, which is located in the easternmost part of the Laiyin Kingdom, and is separated from the Landi Kingdom by only an independent military town, Marienburg.

"Da Da Da-"

In the carriage to Ningholm, Lynn rested with her eyes down, listening to the sound of the horses' hooves on the ground that was no longer dirt.

Three days had passed since he left Catalina.

Most of that time is wasted in horse-drawn carriages.

[Tired or not, Enbao, I'm half tired and half dead by train for half a day, can't this carriage even out my brain? 】

[So, why not use a teleportation array?] 】

[It should be necessary to conceal and hide your identity, after all, it is not a trip, but a mission. 】

"Hiding your identity is a reason. Teleportation arrays all need to be leveled, leaving unnecessary identity information. Lynn lazily responded to the barrage's doubts, "However, the main reason is that the short-distance teleportation array cannot reach such a long distance, and the human body cannot withstand too much short-distance teleportation in a short period of time, and the long-distance teleportation array is an important strategic material, unless it is a war or other special circumstances, it is generally not easy to use." ”

"So, horse-drawn carriage travel is a necessary option."

【Obtained in the temple~】

[Let's recall, is there any important plot in Ningholme.] 】

[Recall a hammer, the plot hasn't been carried out yet, it's just a prequel, and the prequel has been messed up, even if there is an important plot, it will change now because of the butterfly effect, right? ] 】

[It's okay, let's just watch Lynn's operation honestly, there's nothing bad about it, right?] 】

[Although, however, it should be true that there is no plot of this place in my memory, but why do I always feel that this place name is somewhat familiar? It's like I've seen it somewhere. 】

[All in all, it shouldn't have anything to do with Nimgefu (manual dog head)]

[It's not an old man's ring, it's not an old man's ring! It's in this game! 】

So what's it? 】

[I don't remember.......]

【.......】

"Young Master."

A slightly hoarse voice came from outside the carriage, interrupting Lynn's concentration in watching the barrage.

He opened the curtain and looked at the woman who was driving.

The woman is ordinary-looking, with rough skin, a hoarse voice, and an uncontrollable body shape, resembling a peasant woman in the countryside in every way.

Judging by her appearance, perhaps the only difference between her and a normal peasant woman is that she can drive a mutant horse-drawn cart.

Lynn looked at the barren surroundings and asked uncertainly, "Arrived?" ”

"Not yet." The woman said, "But Number Two has something to do with you." ”

Lynn subconsciously turned his head and looked at the black-robed man who didn't know when he appeared beside him.

"Young Master......."

"Until then." Lynn asked suspiciously, "If you're looking for me, why don't you just call me." ”

“.......”

"Are you shy?"

"We're not still girls in the academy, and we're not shy enough to get in touch with us." Number two's voice stiffened slightly, "I'm just ......."

"Needless to say, the reason is needless." Lynn said calmly, "From the moment I walked out of Catalena, you were one of the few resources I had in my hands. I don't need to deal with anything else, I have a lot of energy, so please talk to me directly about anything you need to talk to me about to avoid misinterpretations caused by too many twists and turns. ”

"Yes." Number Two bowed his head respectfully.

Lynn's tone was a little unpleasant, stiff enough to be dissatisfying, but No. 2 wasn't.

On the contrary, he was satisfied with Lynn's current coldness.

What kind of environment you are in is what kind of character you need to have.

Sleek people should be in the town hall; The weak ones can only stay under their own bed; The one who wanders on the sword must make sure that he is strong enough not to be cut by the sword, but at the same time to swallow off a piece of it.

"So." Lynn asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"A few reminders." Two brushed his mind and said, "You should know that the 'hunter' is the character who hunts, but until then, the question of where the 'prey' information comes from is a question. ”

"If we rely on the instinct of the "hunter" to find, it will inevitably make us lose some unnecessary energy, and our manpower is not enough to support such a huge information network, so in order to avoid the waste of resources, the "sense of smell" has become an extremely important part of us."

"They are generally businessmen, they have good information circulation capabilities, and they can serve us well, but they don't really belong to us, and they don't even know what our true identity is."

"For the most part, we're also trading intelligence with them as businessmen – just from a different background."

After a pause, the second said again: "From the moment you stepped out of the royal capital, your surname was changed to Hogg, and you are the only heir of the Hogg family in the future, from the royal capital of the Blue Land Kingdom, the city-state of Roxos. The Hogg family has been in business for thirty-nine years, is not noble, and the family address is No. 27, 7th Street, West District......."

Number Two told Lynn the background of "his" identity very carefully, from the origin of the family to the reason for the name.

Lynn listened attentively on the side.

In fact, he had already had this information on the way here, and he knew it by heart, but he did not resist reviewing it again.

Repeating the rules before each mission is carried out is conducive to the implementation of the task without revealing flaws.

Otherwise, the loss of any detail will lead to the collapse of the entire chain.

“....... That's where you are now. Number Two said seriously, "After reporting to you, do you still have any doubts?"

"Good." Lynn nodded, "I've already taken note of your reminders, thank you very much." ”

"You're serious." No. 2 bowed his head respectfully, and then spoke again, "By the way, Master Lynn, there is one more thing. ”

"Most of the merchants we deal with are mainly dealing with commoners, and they may not behave as appropriately as the nobles you have dealt with before, so please don't pay too much attention to what they say when you communicate with them."

"Huh?" Lynn became interested, "How, is their style as barbaric as the Blue Landers, and they will fight in groups if they don't agree with each other?" ”

"Not really." "It's just that these merchants have more knowledge than the commoners, but they don't have the same horizons as the more advanced merchants or nobles. ”

"And the financial affluence makes them happy to go to parties that are full of alcohol, which in turn numbs their brains and makes them say things that are not so good."

After a pause, he said, "Especially in the administration of the kingdom. ”

Lynn suddenly understood.

In the words of the barrage, it's just that I like to build politics when I'm too drunk, right?

"I see." Lynn smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be involved and won't be dealt with." ”

"If you have to talk to idiots, just go along with it, it's his business that he likes to drown in his world, it has nothing to do with me, it doesn't interfere with me."

No. 2 nodded slightly, and after a moment, continued: "The target of our mission this time is Viscount von Roe Eric, his territory has a total of three towns, and the town we are going to is the town of Lorraine under his jurisdiction. ”

"There, someone will approach you."

Lynn nodded and asked.

"How much longer?"

Two looked up into the distance.

"Right now."

.......

Rylin Guesthouse.

This is where Lynn stayed.

It's a bit broken, and Lynn thinks it might be a little lifted.

The ceiling was roughly four colors, one of which was almost falling off, a pile of cobwebs in the corner, and another color on the wall behind it.

As for the bed.

Lynn kicked it lightly.

"Katsa—"

It's ok, only a slight crack, not collapsed.

[Now let me present you with a song "Today I lived, I will do things after tomorrow", referred to as "Queen of Heaven". 】

[The shaking ceiling, the corners of the wall seem to be stained with blood, the unusual beauty, the suffocating tide~]

[The one in front is really a talent, I laughed to death.] 】

[Can this also be adapted, hahahaha, there are many big brothers in the barrage. 】

[Although, this condition is too bad, right? It doesn't look like a place for a businessman with a background to stay! 】

[Earlier, didn't you listen, everyone said that this is the best hotel in town. 】

[Border cities, there is no place to be prosperous. 】

[That's it.] 】

[It's okay, just stay for a few days anyway, let's not be afraid! 】

“.......”

Lynn glanced at the barrage that looked like she was comforting but was actually gloating, and pouted slightly.

It's not you who live, so of course you're not afraid.

Fortunately, Lynn is not a particularly particular person, and as far as he is concerned, as long as he can use it, it is a good thing.

Sitting on the gray and white bed, Lynn closed her eyes and began to think about what had happened on the way.

Along the way, everywhere they passed was deserted, and there were very few peasants working in the fields, most of them were old and weak, women and children, and few young and middle-aged people were seen.

This phenomenon, his first reaction to it, was poverty.

It's a poor town.

The second reaction came when entering the town.

Lynn's rented carriage was not luxurious, just an ordinary mutant horse-drawn carriage, but when they entered the town, the yellow-faced and skinny children saw him as if they had seen the devil, and ran away.

They didn't know the type of carriage or the type of horse, but judging by the mutant's hideous face, they knew it wasn't from their own town.

And if you guess the business, it is wrong.

Ordinary businessmen travel in convoys, and there are very few solo actions, let alone a one-man carriage driven by only one woman—ordinary women do not have such strength and ability.

So what else could it be?

From the resentment of the children cowering, Lynn probably judged it.

"Do you think I'm one of the nobles who govern this place?" Rubbing his chin, thoughtful, "Is that resentment because of the exploitation of the lord?" ”

Perhaps because of the fusion of the seeds of desire, Lynn has also become a little sensitive to emotional changes.

Even from a long distance, he could detect the other party's emotions.

"I think so." Lynn muttered, "Money is an indispensable thing to create a rebellion, and since that guy has the ability to cause a reaction, he doesn't think it's low." ”

"And for the lords, there is nothing easier than taking money from the lords."

The oppression of the lords by the lords is actually a common thing that cannot be seen in the common way.

Most of the nobles' titles were not hereditary, and even if they wanted to manage the territories that were given to them, they would not fall into the hands of their children when they died.

Instead of a bamboo basket for water, it is better to try your best to make your present life better.

As the old saying goes, after death, who cares about the flood of the sky.

Therefore, in the kingdom of Laiyin, it is a common thing for the current lord to collect taxes until ninety years later, and it may even be less.

Especially in such remote towns.

Shaking her head, Lynn didn't think so much anymore.

He came here only to suppress the rebellion, not to improve the living standards of the common people.

What kind of responsibilities he has, what kind of things he does, and the rest, is not what he should think about.

After a short break, Lynn watched as the worn-out clock hand on the wall gradually shifted towards the lowest six.

As he was about to arrive, he stood up, tidied up in the bathroom, and left the room.

At the same time, the door of the room next to him was also opened.

"Young Master."

This time, the female voice is no longer hoarse, but contains a shy sweetness, like a half-ripe green apple in April, and there is a hint of temptation in the jerky.

"Six?" He asked uncertainly.

It's no wonder that he can't be sure, it's just that the woman in front of him has changed too much compared to the peasant woman who drove him.

Judging from her appearance, she seems to be slightly older than Lynn, her appearance is not talented, and her facial features are not exquisite, but she can't find out the shortcomings; The long black hair was coiled at the back of his head, and he was safely clamped by a white blonde hairpin, which was dignified but a little more well-behaved.

"Not Six." The woman said softly, "It's Alyssa Knoll." ”

"Uh......" Lynn nodded slightly, "Okay, Miss Knorr." ”

"It's Miss Alyssa." Alyssa's well-behaved appearance became a little stiff slightly, "Master Lynn, I vaguely remember that your memory and execution skills should be very good, why would you ignore such details." ”

"No, it's not ignorance." Lynn was a little embarrassed.

On the background of a fictional identity, Alyssa Knoll is his lover.

Although it seems to be shocking for a fifteen-year-old young businessman to have a lover to say it, after all, ordinary people can't have it, but nobles can have a good face.

However, for these businessmen who have a little money and no big rules, this is simply a normal thing.

But that's just one of Lynn's embarrassments.

The other point is that he is not thinking about anything else at this moment, and the other thing that exists in his mind fills the emptiness for him.

"I'm sorry." Lynn bowed slightly, took a deep breath, and her face returned to calm.

The next moment, it suddenly turned into a light pick.

He pretended to be jerky and stretched out his hand, his words staccato and stiff: "Please, forgive me for my recklessness, I, my beautiful Miss Alyssa. Next, allow me to invite you to join me at the next feast. ”

Listening to such sensual words made Alyssa's back itch, and Lynn, who said this, also felt that her soul was going to be dirty, but the number two hidden behind the two was very satisfied.

The style is elegant but not the essence, which is very consistent with the essence of the businessmen in the class.

"Let's go, then."

"Let me meet these merchants and hear what they are dissatisfied with our country."
