I Live Forever in Memory

"What is little brother doing in the plain?" asked one of the merchants, casting his eyes about him for fear that some bandit of some kind would suddenly rush out and rob them of their goods.

"Hurry up." He said as he saw a young man with gray hair and blue eyes wearing a green hat, who was also looking at him curiously.

"You look like a mercenary, do you want to go to the capital too?" The merchant uncle said kindly, "Why don't you come with us, there are still robbers on the plain, and it will be dangerous if you run into it alone. "

"Alright, thank you then."

Li Lin was indeed not in a hurry to go back, and there was nothing wrong with slowing down and following the caravan. He could also get more information through chatting, whether it was useful or not was good.Soon, because it was past half afternoon when Li Lin came out of Roswaal's mansion, it didn't take long before it got dark.

In Li Lin's own words, it doesn't matter if he travels day and night, but the caravan can't do it. His physical and mental strength can't support him, so he plans to stop and set up a tent for the night.With the intention of chatting with them more, Li Lin also stayed.

"Crack... blah..."

After the bonfire was lit, everyone sat around and took out food to exchange with each other, and gave some to Li Lin.A group of people ate and drank, and the words in their mouths were naturally inseparable from the goods.

"My batch of meat should be able to sell for a fortune. The price of meat in Wangdu is not low this year."

"Isn't it? You made a profit. I'm going to lose a lot this year."

"Haha, you're not satisfied with making a fortune last year, how can you make money every year. But no matter how much you lose, it's better than that boy Otto!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, only the young man in the cuckold sighed: "Really, I am already so unlucky, you still want to make fun of me." He said and looked at Li Lin: "This mercenary friend, you need Or do you know anyone who needs oil? If so, you can find me! I will give you a super low price!"

"Okay..." Li Lin looked at Otto who was in a hurry, and thought that this person is also a key person. Among other things, his [Protection of Word Spirit] is very powerful, and he can interact with any creature that can make a sound. Conversation, now mastered is not proficient enough.If you are proficient, then another One Piece is born, which is similar to Roger's "Listen to the Voice of All Things".

"real?!"

"Hey Otto, you guy, I just promised you."

"Hey……"

Everyone laughed for a while, but Li Lin said seriously: "If there is a need, I will definitely find you." Otto thanked him gratefully.

After drinking some wine and eating some meat, the topic was finally let go.

These men who are usually busy making money and have little interest in art get together and discuss only a few things: women, career, and politics.At this time, the career discussion is over, women basically these businessmen are married and there is nothing to talk about, only politics remains.Now that Wang Xuan is about to kick off, it is indeed a good talk.

"Let me tell you—this time, we should choose a king who is good for us to do small business." One person said dissatisfiedly: "It's better to lower our taxes, his grandma's, a year of hard work. Seventy-eighths of the money is taxed."

"The list of candidates hasn't come out yet. But I have a gossip that the president of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce may be one of the candidates."

"Anna?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, their faces were not very good-looking, and one of them almost dropped the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, "That's the end!" He said: "We, the little ones, were crushed by the Hexin Chamber of Commerce. , if that girl becomes king, we will probably have a worse life!"

"yes……"

"I reckon that girl would be tough even if she ran for the election. Will the people from the Knights of the Royal Capital support her?"

"And the military...should support the military's own people, right?"

"It would be nice for me to come to power with someone who can maintain stability." One person said, "Think about it, the country has become more and more chaotic in the past two years, especially the royal family's sudden death to extinction... It doesn't seem natural no matter how you think about it." right?"

"Hush! How dare you say this?!"

"Bah, bah, bah!" The man hastily spat a few times, shrank his shoulders and dared not speak any more.Li Lin was also touched when he saw this. Now that the list has not come out, the merchants know about Anna, and they have clearly stated that they do not support her...it is quite normal.

The big chamber of commerce represented by Anna puts great pressure on small individuals, and her proposition is indeed a heavy tax policy. Of course, it depends on who the tax is collected from.It would be difficult for her to have a high approval rate if it was collected from the common people, so Li Lin guessed that she should be playing with other chambers of commerce and the "middle class", and then promised more jobs and public facilities to gain the support of the common people... But, if she really If the superintendent succeeds and gains power, the country can easily turn into a complete form of capitalism.In such a society, capital can eat everything, and under the limitless squeeze of human value, it is easy to consume blindly, borrow a large amount, and in the end it is difficult to repay, and it is easy to go bankrupt and become a "slave".

It’s no wonder that the small businessmen disagree. For example, if Anna takes power, the country may become like the United States of the early Blue Star. The only difference is that there is no racial division, and the bankrupt people will be reduced to plantations. "Gentle Slave".What the small individuals are pursuing is the atmosphere in Faguo that generally dislikes big companies and does not allow any form of monopoly... But neither of these is easy to happen in this world.

From Li Lin's point of view, it is very difficult for Anna's camp to win Wang Xuan, but this has nothing to do with him.He doesn't know how long he can stay in this world. Wang Xuan himself is not elected at once. The whole process will last for 2-3 years. By the time the result comes out, he may have left long ago.

"By the way, does your Mercenary Association have any candidates for hosting?" Otto asked Li Lin, who came back to his senses and shook his head, "I'm not sure."

He didn't even know what the mercenary union was, let alone what it advocated.

"Well, I think your opinions are also very important. Forget it, we still care about how to make money. It's useless to worry about it!"

Otto said optimistically, but Li Linxin said that it is not very useful, and a pig can fly when standing on the wind. If you can know in advance who will become the king, it will be a huge business opportunity...

Chapter 018: Mercenary Union

"magic?"

After chatting for half the night, Li Lin became acquainted with these businessmen, so when he marched the next morning, he also sat in a carriage pulled by an earth dragon with Otto, who was about the same age.When Otto asked him the purpose of going to the capital, he gave a magical answer.

"For magic, you still have to look at your talent." Otto said: "My own magic attribute is 'earth'."

"Do you know how to use magic?" Li Lin was a little curious, and the latter nodded, a little embarrassed, "I don't know much, it's very general."

"Then can you help me detect the existence of the 'door'?"

Otto shook his head: "I don't know how to do this, maybe only senior magicians can do this."

"That's it."

Li Lin knew it in his heart, and finally arrived at the capital after driving for several hours.When he got here, he separated from the merchants, and the merchants went to their own businesses. As for Li Lin, he didn't return to the house he rented immediately, but decided to visit the mercenary union.

He didn't even know that this kind of trade union existed before, but now he has learned from the merchant population, so if it is beneficial to join, it doesn't matter. He has been acting as a mercenary to the outside world, and it is more convenient to have a formal identity. Insurance.

I bought a map at the grocery store, followed it to find the past, and soon found a building in the central area of ​​the capital.At this time, the wooden door was open, and many people who looked like mercenaries were coming in and out. Li Lin walked in, and the internal structure was more like a tavern.The innermost part is a bar counter with several round tables in the middle, but unlike the tavern, there are several large wooden signs on the left and right ends, with many papers hanging on them.

He walked to the bar, and the short-haired young man behind him glanced at him, "What do you want?"

"This is the mercenary guild."
