When Lynn, who returned home, received a mission from Mr. Duke, he came to a conclusion after a short analysis.

Duke Christine, what a good man!

Under normal circumstances, the reason why the nobles are strong is that they have a large number of fiefs that can be ordered by the king, and as long as they are allowed to develop their power and accumulate their own power without impunity.

Wealth, soldiers, and all the rest, as long as it's done in a legal and compliant way, even if you're more rich than the kingdom, no one else can say anything - of course, it's not in the category of those who do it with red eyes.

Among the nobles, Blazer is very special, he is one of the few nobles who do not have a fief, the specific reason is that Lynn has not heard his father talk about it, but in short, Blazer does not have his own territory, so he cannot expand his power.

At the beginning, after his father disappeared, Lynn tried his best to let the family hang in the shadow of others, and there was also a reason why his family did not have a fief.

If there is a fief and it is still well run, go straight into it, afraid of who will threaten them?

So relatively speaking, this title of nobility is a bit empty - which may be one of the reasons why it is not welcomed.

After all, a nobleman without a fief is a nobleman.

Now, Duke Christine is actually going to give them a fief that no one cares about for nothing, isn't that a good person?

Lynn looked at the number six who was waiting beside him: "Alyssa, I suddenly feel that the choice I made at the beginning was really right. ”

“.” The hunter who returned to the identity of No. 6 was a little uncomfortable with this title, and was stunned for a while before he realized that this seemed to be calling himself, "Ah, why is this?" ”

Lynn raised the letter in his hand: "Don't you think that this duke is sending us pillows?" ”

"Troubled times are coming, if you don't have enough strength in your hands, how can you stand alone on this land?"

"I've thought of a lot of ways before, like secretly recruiting a mercenary to train as my own territory, or using the Adventurers' Guild's signboard to help us hide our armed forces in the form of an adventurer squad, but these methods have too many flaws."

"Like mercenaries, they have developed too many bad habits in their careers, and the individual combat effectiveness is not good to judge, but on the whole it is definitely inferior to the regular army, and it is also a problem in terms of discipline; And the adventurer squad is too scattered, and if it can't be cohesive, it can't be said to be qualified armament. ”

"Whenever this happens, I think, if only we had a fief of our own."

"Huh?!" Six's eyes widened, "You think, you've been trying to recruit troops for a long time?" ”

"It's not early, it's just that I imagined it when I went out on a mission to suppress the rebellion before, if there is a real rebellion, how can we seek a higher status." Lynn smiled, "Now, this duke, just in time to send us a good pillow." ”

The ignorant No. 6 still couldn't understand: "Hey, how can I listen to the other party, he said that he wants you to drive everyone out, or kill them. It doesn't seem like you're going to recruit people, right? ”

"Can't he do it himself if he doesn't let us?" Lynn laughed, "We're not really his men." ”

"No, no, no, I don't feel like we are, we're only loyal to you." Six waved his hand in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm just. I don't understand."

"No apologies, I never questioned you." Lynn also waved her hand and said, "Of course, when I say this, it's just an assumption. ”

"Bright Moon City is not a good place, at least the people there are not good people, and even if we want to recruit our own armed forces, without the blessing of a lot of wealth, we can't recruit many people, and besides, even if we can recruit them, the number is too small, and it won't play much role in the chaotic war."

"So, the current thing to do is to go to the place first, and then plan for the future."

"Until then."

Lynn rubbed the envelope and muttered under his breath.

"We must first know what kind of person he will be who will be the one he has sent to 'supervise' me."

What Lynn didn't expect was that the number of people on this trip to Bright Moon City seemed to be a bit large.

In addition to Lynn and the coachman, four others were ready to accompany him.

The distribution of these four people is two men and two women, and among them, it is the two young ladies that surprise Lynn.

Both young ladies were people Lynn knew, one of them was Christine's own young lady, and the other was a young lady.

Lynn looked up and down several times at the little princess who was a little weak-hearted: "Why are you here?" ”

"I" Charlotte was hesitant and didn't know what to say.

"Let me explain." Corina sighed and said, "When I learned that my father was going to let you out, it happened that I had asked His Highness to come out for a chat that day, and while we were chatting, I happened to mention this matter. ”

"Then, my father told me that I would have to follow you to Bright Moon City as well—because he heard the grapevine that the royal family wanted His Highness to go to a place outside of Catalena to brush his face."

"This is my father's arrangement, I just mentioned it by chance." Charlotte added cautiously.

“.”

Lynn had probably guessed what was going on.

Originally, the duke didn't want Corina to go with him because of various scruples, but when the little princess joined them, things changed.

Although the Duke was ambitious, he also knew that his side might not be capable enough, so he chose to accumulate his own strength while trying to curry favor with one side - if it were not for the lack of access to the other, he would probably want to bet on both sides.

It's too comfortable to let Corina have a good relationship with the little princess, and by the way, she can also rub the prestige of the royal family.

However, letting Corina come out meant that it would increase the Duke's suspicions, so he sent a more heavyweight overseer.

"Let me introduce you."

Corina looked at the other two men, one old and one young, "This is one of my cousins, Hollis, and this gentleman is our butler, Mr. Rosselli. ”

"Hello."

Hollis replied weakly, obviously lacking interest in this trip, and the other Mr. Butler was different.

He bent down respectfully and said softly, "The lord is afraid that Miss and Hollis will not be able to adapt to life in Bright Moon City, so he ordered me to accompany me on this trip. ”

Lynn bowed her head lightly and smiled, "Good work." ”

After a brief introduction, the group quickly prepared to set off.

Two carriages were prepared for this trip, one for the men and one for the women, which seemed quite suitable, but how many people were hidden in the unknown corner, these five people were probably too many to count—after all, he didn't hear the whispers in his ears about the strength of the butler.

Of course, although it is said that people of two genders get into the same carriage separately, but as the so-called intimacy is different, Lynn will definitely not squeeze into a carriage with these two strangers.

Naturally, he took Corina's hand and got into the same car as Charlotte stared at her in disbelief.

"You guys."

Kelina, who came to her senses, immediately shook off Lynn's hand, looked away and said, "Don't think too much, I guess it's part of his plan again." ”

"Is it again?"

Charlotte looked at the flush on the face of the girl opposite, and opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

She is very sensitive to emotions, and at that moment, she captured "joy", "shyness", "panic", and even "fear" from Corina's body, and Corina at that time was like a spice plate, full of colorful colors.

And, if "part of the plan again", shouldn't there be more "sarcasm" and "disdain" in the way Corina remembers the way she spent with him?

Why not today?

Charlotte vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with these two people.

What is this question, there must be no answer from Corina, so she chooses to look at Lynn.

However, Lynn didn't look at her, but stared at Corinna, her face calm: "What kind of character is that butler?" ”

Hearing that there was something serious, Corina's eyes gradually calmed down.

After sorting out her thoughts a little, she carefully said, "Rosselli is a very responsible housekeeper. ”

"When I was very young, he was doing things for the family, and most of the things could be arranged in an orderly manner, and sometimes some small problems that my father couldn't think of, he could also raise them and give corrections and corrections - my father, a person who wanted to hold everything in his hands, would be willing to listen to his advice, when I was a child, I thought it was incredible."

Lynn thought thoughtfully: "If you look at it this way, he is probably a very loyal butler. ”

Corina nodded unquestioningly: "If you want to do something secretly, you have to hide it, he won't cover you Don't look at me, and I won't, not even Hearst." ”

"Tsk."

Lynn smiled and ended the conversation, then looked at the little princess who was huddled in the corner and no one cared about it.

"Long time no see, Miss Charlotte, do you have any specific arrangements for this trip?"

"Okay, long time no see." Charlotte greeted very shyly, and then whispered, "Father said that in Catalena our prestige is enough, and what needs to be done now is how to spread this prestige into the hearts of everyone outside. ”

"It just so happens that Jenellia is the closest province to Catalena, and Bright Moon City is one of them, well, a notorious city."

"He said that if my existence can restore order and reconcile in Bright Moon City, then it will be better used in propaganda and strengthen the majesty of the royal family."

After hearing this, Lynn didn't say anything, but Corina frowned faintly.

However, although the traces are light, they are still captured by the little princess with keen perception.

She turned her head in confusion: "Ke, Corinna, what's wrong?" ”

Kelina was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect such an emotional outpouring to be discovered, and smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, I just think. Well, this kind of conversation between you and your father and something, this kind of thing should be considered private, and it shouldn't be talked about by outsiders like us."

"It's fine." Charlotte smiled softly, "We're friends, and it's not a particularly secret thing, it doesn't matter. ”

“.”

Corina pursed her lips and responded with a smile, but no matter how reluctant she looked.

It's so reluctant that I can even see the barrage.

[How do I feel, there is a smell of gunpowder in this.] 】

[Don't feel it, it's clear! ] 】

[Yes, yes, from the perspective of one of my girls, the eldest lady is obviously jealous because the little princess trusts Lynn too much and even tells this kind of secret thing!! ] 】

[Although but. Why! I don't think I missed any plots! What the hell is going on!! 】

[I vaguely remember that before it went black, it seemed to be a prom. Wouldn't it, a dance captured the eldest lady? 】

[Impossible, absolutely impossible, Lynn, tell me honestly, did you do anything to Corina during the time his father talked to you until today's mission! 】

“.”

Lynn looked at the barrage and blinked.

So they disappeared for so long?

I didn't notice it at all!

【. What's going on with this sudden look, have you forgotten us! 】

[Bastard! We are your most trusted partner, are you just like this to us!! 】

[Woo woo, you are no longer the simple grace we once had, woo woo woo. 】

【. 】

Pouting his lips and responding casually to a few barrages in his heart, Lynn came back to his senses, only to find that during the time he was watching the barrage, the atmosphere had become a little awkward.

Coughing dryly, Lynn still took on the task of the atmosphere group.

After opening the topic with a few sentences of things that have nothing to do with Fengyue, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious again.

This trip seemed to be so easy to get through the rush time.

— until one thing happens.

Mingyue City, a city that sounds more beautiful, in fact, its scenery is indeed very good, although it is located in the plain without green mountains and forests, but the flowers and avenues along the way are a good scene.

But as the so-called scenery of the city should be viewed from the perspective of the customs, the terroir is beautiful, what about the people?

"Whoa—"

Lynn jumped out of the carriage and sighed slightly as she looked at the dozens of people around her who were riding horses that looked very poor.

"Who are you, and why are you in our way?"

"Oh?"

"Hahahaha-"

When these words came out, the people around them laughed.

Among them, a bald man with his shirtless body wantonly showing the scars on his body stepped forward and looked at the young man mockingly: "Yo, it looks like a big young master, that big young master, you go through our way, can't you give us some money for these little ones?" ”

"Oh, so it was a robbery?"

The bald man laughed again: "Yo, you are so smart, you can see it!" ”

Lynn sighed: "Since you admit it, it's easy to do." ”

"Oh? Easy to do? How are you going to be"

Before the bald man could speak, he suddenly felt something oozing out of his neck.

Reach out and touch it.

"Blood, how could it be. There's blood."

"Boss, you, your head"

The bandits watched in horror as the bald old man's head fell to the ground, but Lynn was stunned.

He followed his perception and looked to the side.

Beside him, Roselli, the butler, still with that respectful smile, whispered.

"Young Master Lynn, since they have admitted that they are bandits, they shouldn't let them go to cause harm to others, right?"

“.”

Lynn was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"That's what I thought at first."

The butler bowed slightly, and bowed again.

Faintly, there seems to be light and shadow flowing, and the world is silent.

At this time, a low murmur finally took advantage of the chaos to get into Lynn's ears.

"His strength is not weaker than mine."
