miss mist go with the flow

It is normal for powerful figures like Amy and Sirin to be respected by the chamber of commerce.

From appearance to temperament, the two of them are different from ordinary businessmen like them, and they will be separated sooner or later.

Therefore, Loren did not follow into the chamber of commerce building, but stopped the carriage and bid farewell to Amy on the street.

"We all have things to do, so it's better to act separately."

Amy didn't feel much about the departure of the two, and said: "If you encounter any trouble in the city, you can ask the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce for help. For my sake, as long as the situation is not so bad, the Chamber of Commerce should help .”

Rosa echoed from the side: "Miss Amy is the highest-ranking guest of our Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, her words will definitely have this effect, you can rest assured."

Loren didn't expect to get a "promise" from Amy before parting. He was also overjoyed, and pulled Della to thank him again and again.

When he entered the city before, he was made things difficult by the soldiers, and Loren secretly thought that he was unlucky. Now that he thinks about it, today is his lucky day!

First, Miss Nonis from Linquan Winery made a rescue for him, and stated that Linquan Winery would cover him; then Miss Amy, the leader of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, made a promise to let the Chamber of Commerce assist him as appropriate.

Loren knows that this year is a good time for him to rise!

With thighs like Linquan Winery and the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, pigs know how to fly, and Loren will naturally not be confused.

He grabbed Della's arm again, bowed respectfully and thanked, watched Amy and Sirin go deep into the chamber of commerce building, and then led the carriage away.

Amy sat down to rest in the VIP room of the chamber of commerce branch, and calmly ordered the task:

"There is a platinum-level spellcaster named Arus who recently returned to White Tower City due to urgent matters. He has an appointment with us. Find out where he is now. I want to see him."

The person in charge of the chamber of commerce branch is an intellectual woman named Ashley who wears glasses. When she heard what Amy said, she immediately responded: "Miss Amy, what you mean by Arus, are you referring to Aru?" S Ragemane?"

Amy didn't know Arus' family name, so she looked at Sirin upon hearing this.

Miss Swordsman nodded, and said: "Arus' grandfather is named Caruso Angry Mane, and he is a powerful shield warrior with barbarian blood. We came to White Tower City this time because of Arus Invited by Si, come to pay homage to Caruso."

From several previous contacts with the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, Sirin has already seen that this Chamber of Commerce has a lot to do with Amy, and it can basically be regarded as a force subordinate to Amy, the Spirit of the Holy Moon.

The chamber of commerce must have known her identity as "Dance of the Spiritual Wind", so some words can be said more clearly.

"Then there is no need to investigate further."

Ashley pushed her glasses and said, "The current situation of the Angry Mane family is quite dangerous. Arus rushed back to White Tower City in a hurry, I am afraid it is also to deal with the difficulties encountered by the family."

Ami frowned slightly, picked up the tea on the table, and said, "Tell me in detail."

Ashley nodded, and said: "The specific reason for this matter starts from a long time ago."

"About 300 years ago, after the Abyss Expeditionary Team returned to the imperial capital, His Majesty the Emperor at that time, in order to reward the members of the expeditionary team, enshrined those heroes as nobles and allocated fiefdoms. The fiefdoms that His Excellency Caruso got at that time were Today's White Tower City."

"It's a pity that His Excellency Caruso is not good at managing territories, and so are his descendants. After his death, the Iris family, which was in charge of nearby territories, gradually eroded the control of White Tower City through some political means. Right. About 130 years ago, Sir Wrathmane was canceled as an independent fiefdom, and White Tower City was officially incorporated into the Iris Collar."

"As the former owners of the White Tower City, the Wrathmane family owned a manor area in the city, which nominally still belonged to Sir Wrathmane's private land. But in recent years, Arus, who should have inherited the title, has been wandering away all year round. The family There is no one in charge inside, and even this manor area has been eroded a lot. Officer Scott is using the excuse of government affairs review to completely seize the last territory of the Angry mane family."

"According to the information report from the Chamber of Commerce, Arus returned to White Tower City the day before yesterday, and he should have been discussing with Scott about the final ownership of the manor for the past two days. Their meeting place is within Wrathmane Manor, Miss Amy If you want to see him, I will make an appointment for you."

After Ashley finished speaking, she pushed back her glasses and waited for Amy's instructions.

Amy didn't expect this situation, she didn't speak for a while, and looked at Sirin.

The family property left by the old friends of the expedition team was gradually embezzled. This kind of thing should be handled by Sirin.

Sirin's face was gloomy, and her blue eyes were full of determination. She asked: "What method did the Iris family use to incorporate Baita City into its territory? Is it in line with the empire's regulations?"

"There is no obvious problem in terms of regulation." Ashley replied, "After all, since the resurgence of the empire, there has been a regulation to determine whether the right to inherit the title by assessing the performance of the territory."

"But the methods of the Iris family are not very clean. According to what I know, they gradually seized the control of White Tower City from the Nuzong family in the name of managing the territory on their behalf. Then, through manipulating the performance assessment, Disqualified Baita City, was taken back by His Majesty the Emperor, and finally used the influence of the old aristocrats in the imperial capital to put the ownerless Baita City under the iris collar."

This situation is typical of borrowing and not repaying, which is extremely immoral, but if we look into the laws of the empire, we can't find any problems.

Sirin sighed, and said: "If Caruso's descendants don't live up to themselves and lose the family business earned by their ancestors, then I don't plan to pay attention to it. But the Iris family used this despicable method to usurp Mane stuff, this should not be!"

Sirin suppressed the anger in her voice, and said in a deep voice: "Caruso once said during his expedition to the abyss that I waited for today's sacrifice so that the younger generation would not have to face the monsters of the abyss again! He fought hard together with the comrades in the expedition team." Is it appropriate to let this prosperous world not be invaded by abyssal monsters for 300 years, but the descendants have to face such embezzlement and oppression?"

Amy pursed her lips. She felt Sirin's anger, as well as the shame and self-blame hidden in the anger.

The Wrathmane family may not be bad at managing territories. They may be fulfilling the will of their ancestor Caruso and looking for the whereabouts of Spiritual Wind Dance, so they neglected the affairs of the territory and mistakenly entrusted the territory to the Iris family .

The current situation of the Fuzong family has nothing to do with Xilin—at least Xilin thinks so in her heart.

Amy understood Sirin's mind, she held Sirin's trembling hand tightly, and her voice softened: "Let's go to Wrathmane Manor together, and meet with Arus first, and then decide what to do next .”

ps: I usually code at night, but the power went out late last night, and no staff opened the well after paying the fee, which is embarrassing

This chapter is very short, it's not enough to make up for yesterday's update, let's see if I can make up for it this afternoon and evening...

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 36 The Nature of the Merchant

Sirin and Amy didn't have time to rest, and under the leadership of Ashley, they rushed to the Wrath Mane Manor in the west area of ​​White Tower City.

In the urban area, the movement of carriages is not very convenient. The footsteps of professionals are actually faster than carriages and horses. The three of them only took about an hour to reach the target location.

The manor of the Angry Mane family is an old-fashioned aristocratic manor. The main building inside is shaped like a castle, and there are high walls and iron gates on the outside. It looks like a fortress from a distance, which makes Amy quite novel.

As the branch director of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, Ashley was considered a respectable figure in White Tower City, so she led the two of them to the gate of the manor and asked for a visit.

The guard at the gate was dressed in fine leather armor, with a serious attitude, and directly rejected Ashley's visit:

"I'm sorry, Ms. Ashley, there are important matters in the manor recently, and it's inconvenient to receive guests. Please come back another day."

Ashley was rejected, but she didn't take the opportunity to put on airs to embarrass the guards. Instead, she pulled Amy and Sirin back away from the gate.

"It seems that the situation is worse than I expected."

Ashley pointed to the guard at the gate, "That man is not the guard of the Wrathmane family, but the personal guard of the officer Scott. Even the guard at the gate has been replaced, and it seems inevitable that the manor will change hands .”

Sirin's complexion became even colder. She remained silent and glanced at the high wall outside the manor.

Since the main entrance is not allowed to enter, it is better to climb over the wall. With Xilin's strength, this kind of four or five meter high wall can't stop her at all.

Amy saw Sirin's mind, climbing over the wall was also an option, but she reckoned that she might be able to choke.

She usually neglects to exercise, and she only learned the basics of stepping into the air, and she has no advantage in height and leg length. Even if she adds a double jump in the air, she may not be able to jump over this nearly five-meter-high stone wall.

It's not a problem to climb up, but it's somewhat indecent, and it's not in Amy's choice.

And Amy also noticed another problem, and said to Ashley: "You can even remember which faction this guard belongs to? Is it true?"

Ashley smiled and said, "Miss Amy, to be the head of the local branch of the Chamber of Commerce requires some special abilities. On my side, the memory is slightly better than ordinary people. I have received Most of the guests can basically remember their appearance and basic information. The guard had followed Scott to the chamber of commerce branch before, so I could recognize his identity."

"I see." Amy nodded, inexplicably thinking of Roland, and asked casually, "Then what is Roland's special ability?"

"Mr. Roland..."

A slightly subtle smile appeared on the corner of Ashley's mouth, and she said, "Probably because she is very serious about her work and has a strong professional ability."

"Mr. Roland is in charge of business affairs. There have never been any major mistakes or fallacies. He can complete the set goals every time. He is a very stable and trustworthy colleague. It will be very comfortable to work with him."

Ashley added secretly in her heart, and because of this, the contact work with Mr. Mist was handed over to Roland, and he was the person who was the least likely to make mistakes.

Amy thought about it for a while. Roland came to Misty Forest regularly every month to receive manuscripts, rain or shine, and was never late. He really took things very seriously.

She responds positively to her various requests and can always find products that satisfy her. Her business ability is indeed excellent.

From this point of view, Ashley's evaluation is quite accurate.

"Let's climb over the wall and go in."

Sirin looked at the high wall and thought for a while, and she really made this suggestion. She pulled Amy's sleeve and said, "I want to see what's going on in the manor. Arus may need my help."

Amy patted the back of Sirin's hand and responded with a smile: "I will accompany you in, but I am not proficient in stepping into the air. This wall is a bit high for me. I may need your help when I climb in."

"Leave it to me." Sirin agreed.

"Are the two ladies still deciding to climb over the wall?" Ashley rolled up her sleeves, showing off her slender arms, and said with a smile, "I am weak, and it may hinder your actions if I follow you in, so I will stay outside and replace you." Let the wind go, how about it?"

Amy pursed her lips. It took more than an hour from the branch of the Chamber of Commerce to the Raging Mane Manor. Ashley walked down quickly without panting. How could such a person be delicate and weak?

Play, play, these cunning businessmen like to play.

Thinking so, Amy didn't say it, she just said "Then please", and followed Sirin to the edge of the high wall.

Sirin put her arms around Ami's slender waist with one hand, and adjusted her position. When Amy felt a little itchy, she said softly, "Hold me tight, and observe my way of movement."

Amy obediently put her arms around Sirin's waist, and the two pressed tightly together.

With force from the soles of her feet, Xilin lightly jumped up to a height of more than three meters. When her strength was about to wear out, she stepped on her feet, and her battle energy condensed and exploded in a very small range, supporting her body to jump a certain distance again, just as high as Passing over the wall, without touching the wall bricks, it landed silently inside the manor.

Amy knew that Sirin was teaching the stepping technique on the spot. Otherwise, with Miss Swordsman's monster-like physical fitness, she would be able to jump over the wall in one jump, without any subsequent operations.

It seems that she has not forgotten her identity as a swordsmanship instructor, trying to fulfill the previous agreement.

Outside the high wall, Ashley watched the figures of the two pass over the wall and disappeared from sight, and sighed softly.

She asked softly: "Miss Amy's true identity, is that the one?"

Rosa's figure emerged quietly, silently.

Her appearance here can already explain many things.

"Is the decision made by Your Excellency President serious?" Ashley asked again.

Rosa raised her eyes slightly, and said calmly: "You shouldn't have such doubts, just follow Miss Amy's orders. She is now the one with the highest authority in the chamber of commerce, and even the president of the chamber of commerce admits this."

Ashley sighed, and said, "I'm not questioning anything, I just couldn't hide the surprise in my heart. It's hard not to be surprised when a living legend suddenly appears in front of you, right?"

This made a lot of sense, and Rosa couldn't refute it, so she nodded slightly.

"You are so lucky!" Ashley continued to sigh, "I also want to be Miss Amy's driver."

Rosa blinked her eyes, smiled, and tugged at Ashley's arm, "You are weak, you should let a rough man like me do the hard work of the coachman."

"Huh?" Ashley frowned, "I didn't mean to compete with you for a seat, don't think too much about it."

Rosa waved her hand and said, "Let's stop standing here, and report to the President, and prepare for the worst."

Ashley was puzzled: "What is the worst preparation?"

Rosa said: "If Miss Amy is very angry and wants to beat Lord Adams to vent her anger, we have to come up with an appropriate action plan."

"Ah, this—" Ashley didn't know how to respond.

No wonder you are the one who came to be Amy's coachman, isn't this too good at licking?

ps: The next chapter will only be available tomorrow morning...

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 37 Meet

The internal structure of Wrathmane Manor is not complicated, nor is it heavily guarded. Sirin pulled Amy, easily bypassed the guard at the main entrance, and sneaked into the main building of the manor—the small castle among.

Sirin did not choose to enter through the main entrance, but climbed along the wall to the second floor, stepped on the edge of the wall, and entered the room through the window. This is an action mode similar to the previous infiltration in Sweetwater Town.

Amy seriously doubts that Sirin is an inherent habit formed after training.

But I have to say that this sneaking method is still useful, completely avoiding the front, and the two arrived on the second floor of the castle without disturbing any guards.

Judging from the layout of the room, they probably entered the bedroom of the guest room. Sirin listened carefully to the movement outside, opened the door from the inside of the room at the right time, pulled Amy to the corridor on the second floor, and hid behind the colonnade sideways.

The two held their breath and looked down. In the main hall on the first floor of the castle, there was a long table with a group of people sitting on both sides, discussing something.

Arus, who was dressed in formal attire, was sitting on the main seat on the left. Judging by his energy, he was not as restless as Amy imagined, but rather calm and peaceful.

However, the angry bearded people who sat on the same side as him did not look like the same species at all in terms of expression and style of painting. They were all tall and muscular, and most of them still had beards and rough faces, even in winter. Folding her arms, Amy was stunned.

"Actually, that's the normal appearance of members of the Nubeard family."

Sirin noticed Amy's doubts, and whispered in her ear, "Their family has the blood of barbarians, and most of them are martial arts professionals. It's normal to grow up like this. Arus is a special case. He should be a rare legal professional in this family, so I didn't associate him with Caruso at all."

If Arus hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his identity, Sirin would never have thought that there would be a spellcasting professional in a family like Numane, which is full of muscular and strong men.

Amy moved the tip of her ear, which was very itchy. She didn't remember her previous warning to Sirin, and she breathed out and spoke near the tip of her ear.

If it wasn't for sneaking in secretly right now, she really wanted to grab Sirin's ear as a warning.

"According to the laws of the empire, the Angry Mane family no longer has any titles. The area of ​​this manor exceeds the upper limit of the area that ordinary civilians should hold. Either pay the land tax and pay the tax in full every year; or divide the manor and part of the land. Handed over to the lords to comply with commoner landholding regulations."

"I'm not here to negotiate with you this time, but to issue a notice to you on behalf of the lord. I hope you can pay attention to this issue, and don't delay and delay."

A slightly sharp voice sounded, which caught Amy's attention. She looked along the source of the sound and saw a thin middle-aged man with a mustache.

This person's cheeks were sunken, his face was very long, and the eye sockets were covered with thick black shadows. He looked very much like a drunken person who was too indulgent and his body was about to collapse.

Arus leaned back in his chair and asked calmly: "So, Mr. Scott, if you pay back taxes, how many gold coins do you need to pay each year?"
