Chapter 274: Accident
That evening, Todd arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, but he wasn't the one who came first.
The boss of [Mutual Aid], Anetta Nobbs, is also here.
Anneta is a native of Bright Moon City, but he didn't grow up in Bright Moon City, but was taken by his parents to the Blue Land Kingdom, which the Rhine called a barbarian land, and only came back after growing up, so compared to the Rhines with a relatively peaceful personality, Anetta is a typical reckless person, from his body to his brain.
When Todd saw Anetta, he knew something bad was going to happen as soon as he saw the other man's face.
Sure enough, after this guy stood still in the City Lord's Mansion, facing the hidden gate, he didn't even bother to stretch out his hand, and kicked it open.
"Boom-"
The door didn't fall, but it was a little crooked because of the force.
"Who asked me to come!"
Anetta shouted and looked around, but only saw a middle-aged man with a good manner.
The middle-aged man didn't behave much in the face of his rudeness, but only told him with a smile: "Young Master Lynn is waiting for you in the study." โ
"Huh."
Anetta didn't say much to the servant, but walked straight in the direction the butler had pointed.
Slamming open the door, he stared at the young man sitting behind his seat, "You killed Herris?" Do you know what you're doing?! โ
"Huh?" Lynn raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "I know, eliminate harm for the people." โ
"Bah." Anetta spat rudely and disdainfully, "You do harm to the people? You're trying to kill us all! โ
"Oh? Where does that start with killing all of you? โ
This sentence stunned Annetta, and it took him a long time before he reacted.
"Why don't you know anything about this city? You didn't know you dared to kill him!! โ
"Poofโ"
Lynn laughed.
He looked at Anneta and whispered, "Sir, do you know that this land has a name? โ
"It is recognized by the kingdom as a private domain, and as a temporary agent here, I have absolute right to govern it, let alone kill one person, even if I kill you all, it will probably only be a moral insult, not a condemnation of the rules."
"You nobles are really shit!" Anetta yelled.
"Indeed." Lynn agrees with this, but he is not prepared to let Annetta continue to scold, because this kind of unnutritious conversation is just a waste of time.
He looked at Todd, who was hurrying from behind: "Sir, you seem to be calmer, so can you explain to me why, just the death of a merchant will implicate the whole city?" โ
"This"
Todd opened his mouth, pondered for a moment, and finally told Lynn the truth.
"Hesseri controlled all the commercial passages of the city, and any purchase and shipment, food supply, and provision of necessities of life had to pass through his hands, and when he died, no one would provide us with these things."
"And if Hesery can't provide it for us, then we have to buy it with money, but we don't have that much money."
Todd almost gritted his teeth and said: "Our finances are actually controlled by the people sent by that guy, although the money belongs to us nominally, it is not something that we can transfer at will."
"Is it so powerful?" Lynn was amazed.
A merchant can turn an entire city and all its inhabitants into his own toys.
This is really unheard of.
Now it seems that he is not a master of recklessness?
If it is a head-on confrontation, the other party may really be worthy of himself, but even Hesseri, I guess I didn't expect that I would do it directly, right?
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have dared to come alone.
Of course, Lynn is not really a reckless man, and he actually thought about killing Heseri.
In Heseri's words, he could tell that this merchant's position in the city should be more than just a merchant, definitely a person similar to a hub, after all, he himself said that he provided food and clothing to the people of the city.
However, this hub will definitely not be a good hub, after all, the core of a rotten apple will not be a good core that can grow a tree.
Normally, if you want to treat a disease, you first have to find out the root cause of the disease, right?
Then the root of the disease jumped out on its own, is there any reason to let it go?
So, Lynn chose it this way.
As for what happened next, he had thought about it, including the lack of food and other things that he had captured from the other party's words.
However, these things are very easy to solve for Lynn today.
Because, he brought Charlotte with him.
Charlotte came with a mission this time, which means that the royal family will give her a certain amount of resource inclination.
Although I don't know what this amount is, it is certainly not a problem to provide some food, after all, after so long in peace, the royal family is still quite rich.
Moreover, because of the perennial chaos, the population of Bright Moon City is not much larger, and it only provides food above the food and clothing line, which is definitely more than enough for Charlotte's status.
With food to eat, the core of the chaos is gone again, so isn't the order better?
When the time comes, give Charlotte another crown and say that she did a good deed, so that her task is completed and Christine's goal is achieved.
Except for Heseri, who has passed away, everyone is simply happy!
Therefore, Lynn, who already knew something in his heart, just smiled at the worries and impatience of the two people in front of him.
"If you can be obedient in the future, bread, there will be, and you will never starve to death."
"Huh." Anetta smiled coldly, "You little devil who doesn't know anything, and you deserve to be obedient?" โ
Lynn squinted slightly, clasped her hands together.
The next moment, Anetta suddenly felt his body stiffen, the hairs on his body stood on end, and his brain fell into a frantic resistance because his life was threatened.
"And now."
"Gollumโ"
A distinct swallowing sound rang out in the study, and Anetta was terrified, but still unwilling to bow to Lynn.
He stubbornly said, "You, just don't deserve it." โ
"Tsk."
Lynn smiled and waved her hand suddenly.
The solemn momentum in the room quietly leaked.
"Whether you are worthy or not, it's not up to you to decide." Lynn's eyes lifted slightly, "The facts will speak for themselves." โ
"Huh." Anneta still sneered, "If you can do it, it doesn't hurt if I call you father." โ
"You don't have to, that's too cheap for you."
"You"
"Anyway, I'm letting you come just to tell you something." Lynn knocked on the table, "In the next time I'm still here, be obedient and cooperate with me." โ
"Although I don't advocate the use of violence, I don't resist it, after all, it's simple and straightforward, and it works."
โ.โ
Anetta was furious, but she had no choice but to turn her head away.
Todd didn't leave.
He looked at Lynn and inexplicably felt that this young kid might really have some strength.
After a moment of silence, Todd suddenly spoke: "Sir, although I don't know if you can do it, I hope you can do it." โ
"So before the dust settles, I'll kindly remind you."
"There may be other backgrounds behind Heseri."
"The strength of those people is very strong, you have to be careful."
"Huh?"
This reminder really surprised Lynn, and he asked with some curiosity, "Who is it?" โ
"I don't know."
"How strong?"
"I don't know."
"You know what."
"Other than that, I don't know anything."
โ.โ
Rubbing his head, Lynn smiled helplessly: "Okay, thank you then." โ
"Hmm"
Todd nodded, thinking that there was nothing more to do with him, and turned to leave.
However, at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred.
"Boom-"
Today's weather has been bad since the morning, but heavy rain has not been pouring down until now.
Lynn looked keenly out the window.
He smelled murderous intent.
"It's not good."
"Do you need me to do anything?" The voice of the second number rang in my ears.
Lynn waved his hand: "Don't we have a housekeeper, let him go and have a look." โ
"But this time there was more than one."
"We also have more than one person with combat effectiveness."
"Your Highness?"
"Wrong." Lynn raised her eyebrows, "It's me." โ
"Boom-"
It seemed to be the sound of falling thunder, but it seemed a little too close, so close that it seemed to be right outside the door.
"Bang-"
Todd, who was shocked back to the study by the aftermath of the battle and smashed the door by the way, spat out blood, and his face was very ugly.
However, even so, his first reaction was not to pay attention to himself.
"Damn, I was right, run." He looked anxiously at Lynn, suddenly startled.
Because Lynn had already opened the window and jumped out from the outside.
However, he did not want to escape, but wanted to pull the battlefield away.
After all, they still want to have a place to stay at night, so as not to be exposed to the wind and rain.
Taking a deep breath, Lynn squinted slightly.
After reaching the second order, his perceptual ability went further, and because of the influence of the seed of Slaanesh, he was able to capture the fluctuations in the desires of the people around him.
Killing intent is also a kind of fluctuation.
"Boom-"
The rain was heavier, and Lynn's thin clothes were already half wet, and her wet hair was dripping all the time, but the next moment, at the moment of blood and light, the dampness was evaporated in an instant.
Then, he smiled brightly.
"This is my first fight since I upgraded, and I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
The man hiding in the shadows finally realized that something was wrong, and he didn't react to the character's sudden turnover.
The moment he realized it, the face of the young man had already appeared in front of him.
"You've been caught."
The officer-like declaration fell along with the circle, and the man was violently pulled out of the shadows.
It was a diminutive man with a folding knife in his hand and a cyan tattoo on his neck.
"It's."
When he saw this symbol, Lynn was suddenly stunned and laughed again.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I could be here and see my old enemy again."
This symbol is very familiar to Lynn.
Because when he was a student, he had seen something similar.
It also has the symbol of Slaanesh, but the overall shape is not a rose, but a diamond.
"Brilliant meeting? Enoch, Enoch, it's a long hand. โ
Listening to the boy's whispers, the Assassin's eyes changed dramatically.
"Why, wonder why I know? I'll have to ask your boss. Although you probably don't have a chance, it is. โ
Lynn snapped her fingers slightly.
Suddenly, the world lit up, and the lights flickered from the end of the street to the center.
The Assassin immediately realized that this was something very wrong.
This street has not been repaired for many years, let alone street lights, and it is impossible to even have a street light, let alone so many people.
"People?"
The assassin froze.
He looked around, and suddenly found himself withdrawn from the battlefield and found himself on a bustling street. The street was full of people, and he was sandwiched in the middle, like an ordinary passerby.
Is this space magic?
No, that's not right, the strength that that kid just showed is the same as him, he is only a second-order, and second-order people are not qualified to master high-level spatial magic.
So, what is it?
In the next second, the assassin suddenly came to an enlightenment.
This was the beginning of his becoming an Assassin.
He was an orphan who had been wandering his stomach for food since he was very young, and this street was the place he frequented most because there were many people and many people of good hearts.
He'd always be able to get enough money for a meal, or straight food, and if he'd be lucky, he'd be able to get another money bag.
If nothing else, he would most likely starve to death on this street in a deserted winter, but one day, a person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
A richly dressed man, as if he were a nobleman.
He told himself to join them and become a devout believer so that he could eat and get dressed every day.
He agreed, and then he knew he was wrong.
This was the beginning of the Fall.
The scene in front of me changed again.
In front of him, there was a young man with blood and scars on his face.
"Assi, do it." The boy laughed miserably and said, "That way, you will be able to eat today's lunch." โ
"No, I can't," the Assassin said subconsciously, only to realize that his face was covered in tears.
"Don't cry."
The boy trembled and stretched out his hand, as if trying to touch his companion's face.
The Assassin stepped forward.
"You've got to kill me, you've got to eat, or else"
"Poofโ"
The blade passes through the chest.
The boy smiled sinisterly.
"Otherwise, I'll eat it for you and get one."
"You, you"
The pain made the assassin's head almost explode, and he raised his hand and, without reservation, stabbed the boy in the chest with one knife after another.
However, this knife technique, which seemed to vent his anger, did not make him half a point easier, but became more and more painful.
When the pain reaches a certain threshold, everything in front of him disappears.
Only then did he realize that there was no young man, and the person he stabbed was himself.
"Plopโ"
Falling to the ground, he looked vaguely at the teenager crouching in front of him.
"It's a tragic story, but forgive me for not being able to empathize."
He raised his hand with a smile on his face.
"When a person is on the opposite side of you, sympathy will indeed only kill you."
"Poofโ"
The assassin closed his eyes completely, and Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.
Through Yvette's power, the most secret matters in the other party's heart are framed into an illusion, and this trick is really a bit useful.
"Boom-"
Another loud bang was heard.
Lynn looked up: "It seems that they will fight for a while, do you want to help, forget it, let's go back and see His Highness and Corina and so on." โ
That's when Lynn suddenly realized that something was wrong.
With such a big movement, Corina and Charlotte didn't seem to react at all, and they didn't even make a sound like "what's going on".
"Damn it!"
Lynn's face was completely gloomy.
