Chapter 271

The carriage creaked over the corpses and continued towards Bright Moon City, and Lynn returned to the carriage, but instead of entering, he sat on the edge of the coachman, lost in thought.

Should I say, Mr. Duke is still too cautious? Sending one of these beings to oversee them?

The words that came from Fang Cai's ears were the voice of the second order, and the strength of the second order was the pinnacle of the second order.

He said that the butler's strength was not weaker than him, indicating that at least the two were opponents of the same level.

"Tsk, you really look up to me."

Looking at the carriage in front of her, Lynn squinted slightly.

Then again, what is the housekeeper doing first?

Show your strength to deter him, give him a dismount, and warn him not to mess around in the rest of the trip?

Or does Christine have to show some sincerity on the surface because of the princess's presence?

Either way, it didn't seem like a good thing for Lynn.

Plans, are you going to be in the soup?

Shaking her head, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not the kind of person who is particularly stubborn and would rather not come back, flexibility is an excellent quality that must be possessed in many cases, and he has not yet reached this level of iron for the time being, and he is under huge pressure to achieve things with a small probability and low rate of return.

So although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still pressed it down.

Raise your head and look into the distance.

The appearance of robbers means that they are not far away from Bright Moon City, after all, as far as he knows, the robbers here are all organized and probable, and such a group must have their base camp.

Where?

The wilderness is not as good as an unmanaged city.

Sure enough, a moment later, they quickly came to the city wall of Bright Moon City.

One thing to say, Lynn has been to many places in her previous missions, but none of the cities that are called cities are what they look like in front of them.

The city walls are dilapidated and withered, and you can faintly see the traces of the patterns that once engraved the magic array, but due to disrepair, these traces are only traces, and there is no longer a function that is enough to deter people's hearts.

At the city gates, there were no well-equipped and majestic armed guards, and some were only lazy and lazy with benches, and only their eyes would glow when they saw someone coming.

"Brothers, here comes the guests!"

As soon as someone said hello, the companions around him immediately drew their own broadswords, daggers, and long swords from all strange corners, and the whole thing was no different from the bandit who had just robbed.

They weren't afraid of scaring people away like this and wouldn't be able to get business, anyway, the reputation of Bright Moon City had long been notorious, so outsiders would come here when they didn't inquire about the information.

"Less, young master......."

Perhaps because he had already experienced it once, this time the driver did not tremble very much.

He swallowed and asked, "I, we, do you still want to go in?" ”

"Come in, why don't you go in?"

Lynn smiled and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the carriage that had stopped in front of him side by side, and then leaned on the carriage leisurely and asked lazily.

"Now, have you developed to the point where even the nobles dare to openly hijack it?"

"Aristocrats?"

When everyone heard this word, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed out loud.

"Yo, nobleman, that's scary."

"Aristocrats? Who is not a nobleman, our boss is also a nobleman! ”

"That's it, and compared to our boss, the rest of you are all little nobles, it's a fart!"

"Oh?"

Lynn was interested when she saw the reaction of these people.

Under normal circumstances, most ordinary people will never see a few nobles in their lives, and few ordinary people can clearly understand what this title represents, so in many cases, there is no need for a formal title, as long as the word "noble" can overwhelm the vast majority of people.

But now, instead of being afraid, these people are not afraid, but their actions are full of provocations.

It's like, what they're saying is true.

Lynn asked with a little curiosity, "Who is your boss, tell me." ”

Someone raised a knife and pointed it at Lynn, sneering: "What are you, and you want to know the name of our boss!" ”

"Eh, you can't say that." Someone rubbed his hands, "The rules of adventurers, you know no, take information, but you have to give money." ”

Lynn raised his eyebrows slightly: "The rules of adventurers also say that you must first tell part of the information, so that people can judge whether it is true or false, and then you can give the full money." ”

"Huh........ Is there a rule for this? The man asked, blankly.

"Hell knows, whatever."

"Whoaβ€”"

The scoundrels raised their weapons and shouted, "Here we are the rules!" You don't talk nonsense, hand over the money!

”

Lynn smiled, suddenly turned her head sideways, and asked Corinna, who poked her head out to look at the situation outside: "You say, at this time, should I say something like 'What can you do with me if I don't give it?'" ”

Corina: "........ You're so boring. ”

Charlotte also suddenly came over at this time, and whispered: "This kind of words have been used in stories and dramas, I think, 'Kill them all without saying a word' This kind of action may be more handsome." ”

Kelina looked at the little princess beside her in horror: "Your Highness, please stop your dangerous thoughts! ”

A group of bandits: "........"

As they fell silent because they were being ignored, a young man with five colors in his hair suddenly shouted loudly.

"Brothers, this is hard stubble, run!"

The speed of sound transmission is very fast, and the reaction speed of these people is not slow either.

When the shouts spread, someone had already stepped forward, and only a few seconds later, the bandits who had been blocking the door with great momentum dispersed as birds and beasts.

The world fell silent as if nothing had happened.

"........" Corina couldn't help but complain, "I thought the next plot would be 'the bandits couldn't stand such arrogance and rushed up and then were all killed', but it turned out to be ........"

"That's right." Charlotte pursed her lips and smiled, "That kind of plot is all rotten routines used in vulgar stories, in the eyes of those who are used to arrogance, seeing that we are not afraid of the notorious ones, they will definitely feel wrong." ”

"That's right........ But the reaction is so fast, is it because I have never encountered such a thing before? ”

"It's possible, after all, there are many capable people in this world......."

"Alright, alright."

Lynn interrupted the two girls' comments on the encounter with a smile and patted Charlotte's head, both of them, to retract it.

Immediately, the carriage headed for the city again.

The target is the City Lord's Mansion.

........

"Broken, broken, broken!"

After shouting for everyone to leave, a young man with colorful hair rushed into a three-story building that was incompatible with the dilapidated and declining city.

When I opened the door, a large group of people were gathering inside, shouting "big and small" and the like.

It seems that this is a gambling house.

The young man was so impatient, obviously he didn't come to play cards.

He grabbed a waitress who was unclothed with wine and water, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the boss?" Where's the boss?! ”

The waitress slapped away the young man's hand on her chest, gave him a blank look, and said, "As for the discussion in Box No. 1, I advise you, it is better not to disturb them now." ”

β€œ........”

The young man pushed the waitress away and walked towards the box number one she had spoken without looking back.

At the door, when he was blocked by two sturdy men, he said solemnly.

"I have something important to report to the boss."

"Oh? What, how big of a deal? The strong man didn't mean to let him in, but just laughed, "Kante, if you want to cheat money with your 'genius ideas'....... I suggest you look back and see that there is a lot of success from there. ”

"How can I call it a fraud money, you just say that everyone thought the medicine I sold was useless at first! Also, can 0 be bigger than 0? I don't think so........ Wrong. Seeing that the topic was about to be crooked, the young man known as Kante hurriedly stopped talking and said seriously, "This time I came with information. ”

"I tell you, my intelligence is very important! You must let me in. ”

The strong man smiled noncommittally: "If you don't tell us, how do we know if what you say is really important." ”

"I can't tell you because it's important!"

"If you don't say it, we don't think it matters."

"You ......."

Kante stomped his foot in frustration, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, and he eventually gave in.

"Okay, I'll tell you." He took a deep breath and said, "I just saw on two carriages entering the city that their carriages had the style of the family crest - it belongs to Christine's!" ”

The two strong men were stunned at the same time: "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure! Pretty sure! When I went to steal the City Lord's Mansion, I saw the family crest left inside, and I know it! Kanter raised four fingers, "I swear to the goddess that if I tell a lie, my father will not die well!" ”

β€œ........”

The strong men suddenly felt that this statement did not seem to be so true.

However, looking at the other party's urgent appearance........ Doesn't seem like a lie?

The two looked at each other.

"Okay, we got it."

"Okay, then I'll go in and report to the boss......."

"Huh?"

One of the strong men used only one hand, pinched him up like a little chicken, and threw him aside.

"You know, you know, but you still can't go in."

Kante was furious: "You guys!

”

"We? What's wrong with us? The strong man stretched out his hand and patted the other party's face defiantly, "Do you want to say that we are bullying you?" Is there such a thing? ”

β€œ........”

Bastard!

Kante was angry, but he didn't dare to let it go, because he was still afraid of pain.

In the face of the strong man, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave the gambling house.

Watching the young man leave, the two strong men glanced at each other, and one of them gently pushed open the door of the room.

At this moment, the room is silent, as if it is at an impasse because of something.

The arrival of the strong man was undoubtedly a stone that broke the peace, and soon, the stagnant water fluctuated again.

The man in a suit and leather shoes sitting on the side looked up at the gloomy man opposite him, and said with a smile: "Todd, I've said it many times, it's very chaotic outside now, and the things you want are all in short supply, and you can't get them without adding money." ”

Todd sneered: "The money I gave you is the normal price outside now, and you can't get it yet?" ”

The man spread his hands: "But it's not normal outside." ”

"Less!" Todd grimaced, "How many of them come out." ”

"Tsk, you're getting smarter." The man held up a finger, "A million." ”

Todd Tongkong shrank slightly, and his voice fluctuated a little: "Where did they get so much money!" ”

"Who knows." The man shrugged, "Anyway, they've already offered so much, and if you can't get a higher price than this, then I'll have to sell it to them." ”

"Aren't you afraid they're lying to you?"

"Lie to me?" The man laughed, "Todd, you need to know who is the real master of this city now. ”

"Huh." Todd scoffed, "I'm sorry, but this city belonged only to Christine after it was established. ”

"Of course, they are, and must be, just....... There isn't a single nobleman here now. ”

The man pillowed his arms, leaned back slightly, and said lazily: "Okay, do you want to ........ Rest assured, I won't leave here until you make a decision, so don't say I don't give you time to think about it. ”

β€œ........”

Todd took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down again, the strong man mustered up his courage and cautiously leaned into Todd's ear and whispered softly.

The strong man's words made Todd's eyes open again.

"Oh? Decided? The man squinted slightly, looked at Todd's face that suddenly became strange, and asked, "Did you invite someone to help you consider the pros and cons?" ”

"If you are not tall, put it aside."

Todd grinned, "There's news I can tell you for free." ”

"The master of this city has really returned."

"β€”just now."

........

"Is this really the City Lord's Mansion? How do I feel, the houses on Twenty-second Street are better than this. ”

Standing at the door of the big house, where even the plaque was only half-hung, Corina was a little skeptical.

"My elders, what the hell have you done to this place?"

Compared with Corina's suspicion, Lynn was a little surprised: "It's a little better than I thought, I thought it would take a lot of effort to get the sojourners out here." ”

"It seems that their courage is not to this extent."

At this time, another young master and the butler who helped him carry the salute also came over.

The young man looked at the room in front of him, revealing an extremely obvious look of disgust: "Sister Corina, are we going to live here tonight?" ”

"Hmm....... I'll leave it at ease for now. Corinna looked at the butler, "Mr. Rosselli, please take care of Hollis." ”

The butler bent down respectfully: "Yes, miss." ”

Just as Corina was about to say something, Hollis interrupted her.

"Sister Corina, I'll go pick a room first."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

With such a gesture, even Charlotte couldn't help frowning and muttering quietly.

"Good rude fellow."

Indeed, from a liturgical point of view, this is very faux pas.

As a junior who is not the highest in terms of seniority or identity, he actually forcibly made a decision on his own.

It can only be said that Christine's upbringing is still not enough.

Although Corina didn't hear Charlotte's words, Hollis's behavior still made her blush with embarrassment.

Hardening, Corina whispered, "Your Highness, I'll take you to the master bedroom." ”

If you want to say the best room, it must be the master bedroom, and Corina must want to leave the best room for Charlotte, who is the most noble.

Even if Hollis wants to rob him, he must be kicked out.

However, Charlotte didn't have this self-awareness: "No, I'll choose myself........"

After a pause, she glanced at Lynn secretly, and then looked at Corina: "Let him choose first, and I'll take a look." ”

β€œ........”

Corinna's eyelids jumped, forcing her head not to understand the other party's thoughts, and then looked at Lynn with a blank face.

Lynn, innocent spread.

In the end, the allocation of rooms was decided without much fuss.

The city lord's mansion is not like a manor, it covers a very large area, and the buildings are not rich, there is only a four-story building, which is a combination of the city lord's office and residence.

The first floor is a lobby and study, the second floor is a restaurant, and the third and fourth floors are residences.

The master bedroom was in the center of the third floor, but it was eventually snatched by Hollis, the housekeeper's room was on the side of the stairs, and the three of Lynn were arranged on the fourth floor.

Among them, Lynn is in the center, and the two young ladies are on one side........ If it is under normal circumstances.

It's just that none of them expected that there was not even a single futon in this house.

Although the butler thoughtfully brought five blankets, Hollis took two on the grounds that he wanted to cover one, and Charlotte must have had two for her noble status, leaving one ........

Corina hugged the blanket and leaned against the door, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"Let's talk about it first, I didn't think you were afraid of the cold so I sent it to you, I just thought........ As the host, I can't neglect the guests...... And don't worry about me or anything, I have my own...... Way. ”

Lynn nodded sincerely, making the same evaluation as the barrage.

[Really, textbook-level tsundere.] 】
