The Marlene incident did not cause much change in anyone's life, not even among that group of children. Coming from the streets, they were used to seeing their companions freeze to death, starve to death, and be killed by monsters found in the sewers.
The girl's death brings nothing.
But there were profound changes in another client. To paraphrase what the old black dragon Augustus said to Lin one day: Ezio has grown up.
Lin's attitude towards those children has changed, but it hasn't changed either. What has changed is that he spends some time every day paying attention to the children's situation; what hasn't changed is that he still doesn't intervene directly. Because the situation is just like Fen said, and he
If you don't seriously want to change something, don't make half-assed changes. It's better to keep things as they are.
So someone continued to be lazy with peace of mind, and then was targeted by the boss.
The person who was eyeing Lin was none other than Ke Yin, the goddess of gold coins. This god did not show mountains or water, and her strength increased just like that.
If one country, one bank is used as the standard, there are still 70% to 80% of the blank market in MIDI waiting for people to explore. As Lin is the driving force behind everything, it is of course impossible for him to go to a certain village or town to work with people who may not know the big characters.
Common people who have gained a few dollars explain the various benefits of banks.
But there are some places where you can't just send an elf to the level and convince the other party. Not to mention some invitations, which are basically traps planned to lure the elf there, and then capture and imprison them.
When encountering such a malicious person, if the style of the Turtle Dove Alliance was the same in the past, they would definitely ask a group of elves to go over and wash the floor with the opponent's blood. But today the elves and the World Trees are helping Ko Yin, and they are very
The identity issue of the human race requires them to restrain such drastic methods to avoid incurring the ill will of other potential collaborators.
Fortunately, the elves who went out to preach... and promote banking business all wore elven holy robes and promoted according to the planned route. They also used the flashing technique of the World Tree flow to move out and back, saving time and effort.
That is to say, as long as they encounter a trap, a thought from the elves is enough for the conspirators to break through the defense of the elves' sacred robes and let World Tree use the flash technique to pull the elves back to the tribe. In addition to being targeted, they are not in a good mood.
, and will not suffer any serious harm.
The elves are not without means of revenge, but they do not need to intensify conflicts and bring conflicts to the table.
The most public action is to blacklist such conspirators and promote the bank's business around them. There is no need to bite the bullet and have to humbly ask others to accommodate the bank's business.
Privately... Of course, I don't do anything. After all, there is a conflict of interest. If something happens to the other party, it will be easily implicated, which will damage the reputation of the goddess and the elves. In the face of greater interests, and without violating the principles,
It's not difficult to compromise a little.
Besides, banks are not like direct sales or pyramid schemes on Earth. They have to use all kinds of words, steal, deceive and coax people to spend money to buy impractical things. The attitude of elves and goddesses has always been simple, love
Come on, don't come and pull me down.
But when the level faced is higher than a certain level, and just letting the elves come forward is not enough to represent the goddess of gold coins, Lin, the chosen one, needs to carry the cards.
It would be fine if the former bishop of the Gold Coin Goddess's faith came forward. But according to what Ke Yin said, they are all old men who can gain power by traveling far away, so don't bother them. In the face of the Gold Coin Goddess's cards,
Among them, someone is the only energetic young man.
As soon as these words came out, Lin suddenly felt as if he had been tricked into boarding a pirate ship...
In short, the invitations brought by Ke Yin in front of Lin's eyes were not from some remote rural place. At the worst, they were invitations from the kingdom level. Among them, because of some doubts about banking business, I hope that the Goddess of Gold Coin Church
Invitations to send personnel to provide explanations came from three places that caught Lin's attention the most: the Kingdom of Silk, the Haider Empire, and the Karlsruhe Empire in the south of the Lost Land.
The first two sent official documents, but they were just rigid official documents. The invitation sent by the Karlsruhe Empire, in addition to the official documents, was also handwritten by its empress Saint Alegria.
An invitation letter with a signature is considered the most sincere party.
With invitations from the two empires ahead of him, it was certainly impossible for Ko Yin to ask Lin to deal with those small kingdoms first. The reason why the Kingdom of Silk caught up was because the documents were sent along with the documents from the Haider Empire. Two invitations
Even though they were put together, Ke Yin didn't decide to separate them.
In other words, Lin's actual choice is to choose one of the two empires for a business trip. However, this does not mean that the one who is not chosen will be left out.
No matter how poor the efficiency of Midi's work is, even a god would not be able to accept the consequences of neglecting an empire. If the other party directly imposes a belief prohibition that will drain the firepower, the gods will jump. So I guess Ke Yin will find a way to improve someone.
His personal status allows him to respond to invitations from other parties, and he does not even rule out appearing in person.
As for how to choose between the two options? To be fair, due to the impact of the previous silk incident, although I don’t know if there will be a follow-up, the invitation from the Kingdom of Silk and the Haider Empire feels like falling into a trap under the premise that there is a conflict of interest.
.
Even as the leader of the Haider Empire, he will not care about the actions of a small person like himself. He is worried here because he is self-righteous and unfounded. Whenever someone in the empire holds a grudge and hinders him, it may cause trouble. Even if it is not a design
Framing, with preconceived notions, will create trouble.
But the Karlsruhe Empire. Thinking of the cheerful female warrior who he had a relationship with during the Tower of the Great Sage, who might be the current empress, Lin's heart felt a little warm. After all, she had a romantic relationship at that time.
, and now I also received a handwritten letter from the other party.
But that handwritten letter and invitation document were sent to the Goddess of Gold Coins. The past events of the Great Sage's Tower period were also ten years ago. Do you still have the friendship from that time? You can even ask yourself,
Whether she is still remembered is a problem. This does not take into account that the empress is not the person she knows at all. Such a situation.
In other words, if you go to the Karlsruhe Empire, you may be under the halo of Koin's electorate, but in fact there will be no other help. The situation of going to the Haider Empire is similar, but there may be some villains who are ready to plot against you.
.In that case, it seems that it is not difficult to decide which place to go.
It's just that... the thought of not wanting to work still dominates the majority of people. Isn't it easy to find a partner by just fooling them? Someone wailed inwardly.
Suddenly an uninvited guest interrupted Lin's thinking. The familiar voice said lazily: "Hey, it's an invitation from the empire. Is this an autographed letter from the empress? Have I ever told you that my family is in the capital of the empire?"
Neuquen. Speaking of which, I haven’t been back for a long time.”
The speaker was a white swordsman wearing a white robe, William Greco. After bringing people from the Kingdom of Silk and the Haider Empire a while ago, he became a guest in this home again.
Regarding the background of this white swordsman, it is rumored that he is the only one who belongs to the Turtle Dove Alliance. However, unlike other fanatical anti-authority elements, the reason William is in the alliance is that he has many friends in the alliance. He himself is not special.
Propensity.
In line with the taboo of making shallow and deep friendships, Lin rarely inquired into the privacy of his friends. But since the other party brought it up on his own initiative, and it was related to his own affairs, Lin asked a few more questions. First, he asked: "Family? Is that the case?"
Noble?"
"No, it's just a commoner family." William seemed to have no scruples. He poured himself a glass of wine as usual, took a sip and then said, "But I haven't been back for a long time. Maybe they have been promoted to the nobility, maybe
There is no one left."
This... feels like there are a lot of stories behind it. Lin asked: "It's been a long time since I've been back? How long?"
William tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said: "I have been away since my mother passed away. It must have been ten or twenty years."
This guy is not the kind of freak who remembers everything clearly and can count days down to the hours, minutes and seconds. So Lin is not surprised by such a rough answer. It's just that it's okay if he doesn't answer. The more he answers, the more confused he becomes. Someone
My burning heart of gossip is on fire!
"Why did you leave? Could it be your mother..." Lin asked tentatively, but he didn't dare to speak too plainly and offend others.
William didn't care much. He shook his hand and said, "It's not that complicated. My mother died of illness. I was a little bored staying at that house and wanted to see everywhere, so I left."
"Your father's side?"
"Still alive, probably." William said uncertainly: "Anyway, I have enough brothers and sisters, and there are also many people of my uncle's generation. One more of me is not more, and one less of me is not more. What's wrong? Asking about these
?”
The swordsman, who was suspected of suffering from reflex arc hypertrophy, asked if there was any intention behind someone's question, which was similar to a net worth survey. Then he asked.
Lin did not hide anything. He picked up the letter written by the empress, shook it, and said: "This is not because of bank matters. I may need to go there. I want to ask if you can find someone local to introduce it to me."
The local situation prevents me from being blinded or violating other people's taboos. You mentioned that your family is in Neuquén, so I was wondering if I could ask your family to help me with this."
Afraid that such a request might embarrass someone who has been away from home for too long, Lin added: "These won't involve too in-depth matters, just give me a brief introduction to the local area. If there is any embarrassment,
It’s a place, but it doesn’t matter if you say no.”
William said without hesitation: "That's easy, I just take you back. My mother also had old servants she was familiar with in the past. If the matter is not difficult, just go to them directly. Well, if they still
If you are here."
Lin was a little surprised at such a ready agreement. He asked, "Is it no problem?"
"Of course it's no problem. But I have to say first, if my family is no longer in Neuquén because of leaving or other reasons, then I can't help. I have no impression of that city, and it's not worth visiting.
friend."
"You left early?"
Nodding, William said: "Well, I left very early. I left when I was ten years old."
