Chapter 274
The carriage creaked past a group of corpses and continued towards Mingyue City. Lin En also returned to the carriage, but he did not go in, but sat on the edge of the coachman, lost in thought.

Should it be said that Mr. Duke is still too cautious?To actually send such an existence to supervise them?
The words that came from just now were the voice of number two, and the strength of number two is the pinnacle of the second level.

He said that the butler's strength is not weaker than his, which means that at least the two are opponents of the same level.

"Tsk, you really think highly of me."

Looking at the carriage ahead, Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly.

Having said that, why did the butler act first?
Show your strength to frighten him, give him a warning, and warn him not to mess around in the next trip?
Or, because of the presence of the princess, Christine had to show some sincerity on the surface?
Either way, it doesn't seem to be a good thing for Lynn.

Is the plan about to go to waste?

Shaking his head, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not the kind of person who is particularly stubborn and would rather not come back than ten cows. Flexibility is an excellent quality that must be possessed in many cases. He has not yet reached such a level of strength, and the probability of achieving it under huge pressure is very high. Things that have a small rate of return and a low rate of return.

So even though he was a little upset, he still held back.

Raise your head and look into the distance.

The appearance of robbers meant that they were not too far away from Mingyue City. After all, as far as he knew, the robbers here were all organized, and such a group must have their base camp.

where is it?

The wilderness is not as good as the unmanaged city.

Sure enough, after a while, they arrived under the walls of Mingyue City.

There is one thing to say, Lin En went to many places in his previous missions, but none of the cities called cities looked like this.

The city wall is dilapidated and decayed, and traces of the lines that once engraved the magic circle can be vaguely seen, but due to years of disrepair, these traces are no longer traces, and no longer have the function of intimidating people.

At the gate of the city, there are no well-equipped and majestic armed guards, and some of them can only move the benches and slouch, and only see the eyes of the ruffians when they see someone coming.

"Brothers, here are the guests!"

Someone greeted, and the companions around immediately pulled out their own big knives, daggers, and long swords from various strange corners, all of which were indistinguishable from the gangsters who had just robbed.

They are not afraid of scaring people away like this and not being able to get business. Anyway, Mingyue City's reputation has long been notorious, so outsiders will come here when they don't know the information clearly.

"Young master."

Perhaps it was because of the fact that he had already experienced it once before, but this time the driver didn't shake very much.

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

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

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

"Have you guys developed to the point where even nobles dare to hijack openly?"

"noble?"

When everyone heard this word, they were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Hey, nobleman, that's really scary."

"Aristocrat? Who is not an aristocrat anymore? Our boss is also an aristocrat!"

"That's right, and compared to our boss, the rest of you are petty nobles, what a fart!"

"Oh?"

Seeing the reactions of these people, Lynn became interested.

Under normal circumstances, most ordinary people will never see a few nobles in their lifetime, and few ordinary people can clearly understand what this title represents. Therefore, in many cases, no formal title is needed, as long as " The word "noble" can overwhelm most people.

But now, not only are these people not afraid or afraid, but their behavior is full of provocation.

As if, what they said was true.

Lynn asked curiously: "Who is your boss, tell me."

Someone raised a knife and pointed at Lin En, mockingly: "What are you, you also want to know the name of our boss!"

"Hey, you can't say that." Someone rubbed their hands, "Adventurers' rules, you know, you have to pay for information."

Lin En frowned slightly: "The rules of adventurers also say that you must tell part of the information first, and let people judge whether it is true or not before you can give the full money."

"Is there such a rule?" The man turned around and asked blankly.

"Ghost knows, just ignore him."

"Whoa-"

The rascals raised their weapons and shouted loudly: "Here, we are the rules! Stop talking nonsense and hand over the money!!"

Lynn smiled, turned his head suddenly, and asked Corinna who poked her head out to watch the situation outside: "Tell me, at this time, should I say something similar to 'If I don't give it, what can you do to me? if'?"

Corinna: "...you are so boring."

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

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

A group of gangsters: "."

When Qiqi fell into silence because he was ignored, suddenly a young man with five colors of hair dyed loudly shouted.

"Brothers, this is hard stubble, run!"

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

When the shout spread, someone had already stepped forward, and only a few seconds later, the gangsters who had been threatening the door dispersed like birds and beasts.

The world fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

"." Corinna couldn't help complaining, "I thought the next plot would be 'the gangsters couldn't bear such arrogance and rushed up and were all beheaded', but it turned out."

"That's right." Charlotte pursed her lips and smiled, "That kind of plot is a rotten routine used in vulgar stories. In the eyes of people like them who are accustomed to being arrogant, seeing us encounter a notorious They are not afraid, they must feel something is wrong."

"That's true. But the reaction is so fast, is it because you have encountered such things before?"

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

"OK OK."

Lynn interrupted the evaluation of the encounter between the two girls, dumbfounded, and patted the lower Charlotte on the head, making them shrink back.

Immediately, the carriage headed towards the city again.

The goal is, the City Lord's Mansion.

"Broken, broken!"

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

When the door was opened, a large number of people were gathering together, shouting "big big small small" and other shouts.

It seems that this is a gambling house.

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

He casually grabbed a disheveled waitress with drinks, and hurriedly asked, "Where's the boss? Where is the boss?!"

The female attendant patted the young man's hand on her chest, gave him a blank look, and said, "We're talking about things in Box No. [-]. I advise you, it's best not to disturb them now."

"."

The young man pushed the female attendant away, and walked towards the No. [-] box she mentioned without looking back.

At the door, facing the barrier of two burly men, he said solemnly.

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

"Oh? What, what's the big deal?" The brawny man didn't mean to let him in, he just laughed and said, "Kanter, if you want to cheat money with your 'genius ideas' again, I suggest you turn back Look, the odds of success from there are much higher."

"How can I call it cheating money? Just say that everyone thinks that the medicine I sell is useful at first! Also, can 0 be greater than 0? I don't think it's wrong." The young man who was Kantor hurriedly stopped talking, and said seriously, "I'm here with information this time."

"Let me tell you, my information is very important! You must let me in."

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

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

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

"you."

Kanter stamped his feet in exasperation, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and he finally gave in.

"Okay, let me tell you." He took a deep breath and said, "Just now, on the two carriages entering the city, I saw that there was a family crest on their carriages—it belonged to Christine's family!. "

The two strong men were taken aback at the same time: "Are you sure?"

"Sure! Very sure! When I went to steal the city lord's mansion, I saw the family emblem left inside, I know it!" Kanter raised four fingers, "I swear to the goddess, if I tell lies, my father Die badly!"

"."

The strong men suddenly felt that this statement was not so true anymore.

However, looking at the other party's urgent appearance, it 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."

"Eh eh?"

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

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

Kanter was furious: "You!!"

"Us? What's wrong with us?" The strong man stretched out his hand and patted the other person's face provocatively, "Are you going to say that we bullied you? Is there such a thing?"

"."

asshole!

Kanter was angry from his heart, but he didn't dare to let it out. The reason was that he was quite afraid of pain.

Facing the strong man, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave the casino.

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 was silent, and it seemed that because of something, it had reached a deadlock.

The arrival of the strong man was undoubtedly a stone that broke the calm, and soon, the stagnant water became turbulent again.

The man in a suit and leather shoes sitting beside him looked up at the gloomy man opposite him, and said with a smile, "Todd, I've said it many times, it's a mess outside now, and the things you want are all in short supply, so don't add them." Money, but can't get it."

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

The man spread his hands: "But the outside is not normal now."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Todd said with a cold face, "How much do they pay?"

"Tsk, you've become smarter." The man raised a finger, "One million."

Todd's pupils narrowed slightly, and his voice fluctuated a little: "Where did they get so much money!"

"Who knows." The man shrugged. "Anyway, they have already asked so much. If you can't come up with a higher price than this, then I can only sell it to them."

"Are you not afraid that they are lying to you?"

"Cheat me?" The man laughed loudly, "Todd, you have to know who is the real master of this city right now."

"Hehe." Todd sneered, "I'm sorry, this city only belongs to Christine after the Rhine was established."

"Of course, they are, and they must be, but there isn't any noble here right now."

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

"."

Todd took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

At this moment, seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down again, the strong man mustered up his courage, and carefully approached Todd's ear, whispering softly.

The strong man's words opened Todd's eyes that had just been closed.

"Oh? Have you made a decision?" The man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Todd's suddenly strange expression, and asked, "Did you invite some expert to help you consider the pros and cons?"

"Whether tall or not, let's put it aside."

Todd grinned: "There is news, I can tell you for free."

"The owner of this city has really returned."

"--just now."

"Is this really the City Lord's Mansion? Why do I feel that the house on 22nd Street is prettier than this?"

Standing at the door of the big house where even the plaque was only half hung, Corinna had some doubts about life.

"My elders, what have you ruined here?"

Compared to Corinna's surprise, Lynn was a little surprised: "It's better than I imagined. I thought it would take a lot of effort to drive out the sojourners here."

"It seems that their courage is not so great."

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

The young man looked at the room in front of him, showing a very obvious look of disgust: "Sister Corinna, shall we live here tonight?"

"Well, let's make it up for now." Corinna looked at the housekeeper, "Mr. Rosselli, please take care of Hollis more."

The housekeeper bowed respectfully: "Of order, Miss."

Just when Corinna was about to say something, Hollis suddenly interrupted her.

"Sister Corinna, I'm going to choose a room first."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

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

"What an impolite fellow."

Indeed, from an etiquette point of view, this is very rude behavior.

As a junior who is not the highest in terms of seniority or status, he actually forced himself to make a decision.

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

Although Corinna didn't hear what Charlotte said, Hollis's behavior still made her blush with embarrassment with the same surname.

Bite the bullet, Corinna whispered, "Your Highness, I will take you to the master bedroom."

To say that the best room must be the master bedroom, and Corinna definitely hopes to reserve the best room for the noblest Charlotte.

Even if Hollis wanted to rob, he had to be kicked out.

However, Charlotte did not have this self-awareness: "No need, I can choose by myself."

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

"."

Corinna's eyelids twitched, and she forced her mind not to understand the other party's thoughts, and then looked at Lin En expressionlessly.

Lynn, spread your hands innocently.

In the end, the allocation of the rooms was settled 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 one four-story building, which is a combination of the City Lord's office and residence.

Among them, the first floor is the hall and study room and other conversation places, the second floor is the restaurant, and the third and fourth floors are residences.

The master bedroom was in the center of the third floor, but it was finally snatched by Hollis. The butler'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 ladies are on one side. If it is under normal circumstances.

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

Although the butler thoughtfully brought five blankets, Hollis took away two on the grounds that he wanted to put one on top of the other, and Charlotte must have two because of her noble status, leaving one.
Corinna hugged the blanket, leaning against the door, staring at the ceiling.

"Let me tell you first, I didn't think you were afraid of the cold so I sent you here. I just think that as the host, I can't neglect the guests. Also, don't worry about me, I have my own way."

Lynn nodded sincerely, making the same evaluation as the bullet screens.

[Really, textbook-level tsundere. 】
