總算是搞定路易和查爾斯的事情,暫時上來說,有關同鄉人搜查的事情可以靠他們去搞定,至於我要處理的,就是豔陽城裡的事情了。546Please respect copyright.PENANA6NHuwiH1xO
546Please respect copyright.PENANAA4t1pXH3uH
鑒於在莫爾之後,越來越多人開始發現走投無路的時候可以找我幫忙,藥劑店那裡開始陸續出現想要投靠我的人,站在店門外不走。546Please respect copyright.PENANAW7jmBIaWTB
546Please respect copyright.PENANAhOIiPTlLZX
莫拉瓦畢竟只是我安排在藥店裡接洽貴族的人,我不想讓他還要去煩惱別的事,所以那時候安排莫爾去篩選那些投靠的人。546Please respect copyright.PENANAqCFoyAgVQ1
546Please respect copyright.PENANAtXbnhLuV7D
只要不是抱著僥倖心態想躲來我這逍遙的人,那就全部安排到森林外、卡姆和朵拉在管控的營地裡。546Please respect copyright.PENANAThLAPP0XwN
546Please respect copyright.PENANAnY5AMD9OGE
那片營地已經建設成一個小規模的營區,原本被僱用過去充當護衛的傭兵們已經約期截止離開,所以現在守在那裡的除了兩個孩子外,還有我製作的魔像。546Please respect copyright.PENANAtxdBiJ5bzG
546Please respect copyright.PENANAzU1pQJ95RM
自從去過舊人類遺跡之後,我也從那邊帶回來幾個作為守衛專用的傀儡,投放到營地那裡和魔像交互鎮守營地。546Please respect copyright.PENANAWDvKtdcC5Z
546Please respect copyright.PENANAoMRnu1GeAS
現在那裡已經有不少人居住,基本都是在豔陽城最早選擇像我求助的人們,有普通因為欠債無力償還的一般人、也有為了不成為奴隸而逃過去的獸人,根據魔像給我的報告,現在居住人數已經達到三十二人了。546Please respect copyright.PENANAA4zlXFzb8Y
546Please respect copyright.PENANAS6M52nWfeh
大部分都是逃亡過去的人,而森林距離豔陽城也不遠,追兵、強盜、討債流氓來叫囂的也不少,但基本都被傀儡捻出去了。546Please respect copyright.PENANAb6IaVYlG54
546Please respect copyright.PENANAIbw6kk7GaD
不過我也不想讓營地成為一個法外之地,所以如果是欠錢償還不了的人,我通常會幫他們還錢給債主,反正在我的營地裡也需要工作,我也會付他們錢,那些錢拿來做分期還款就可以了。546Please respect copyright.PENANA44531wtmGz
546Please respect copyright.PENANATWJLNwPJ3X
至於那些想抓獸人去當奴隸的,除了只敢在營地外吠叫以外也不敢做其他事,我就不管他們了。546Please respect copyright.PENANAScMnFLsRVk
546Please respect copyright.PENANAsiqdBszh85
聰明人知道我的底線在哪,不過界我就可以不當回事,有魔像和傀儡這些不用休息的護衛監視,他們不會、也不能亂來,所以不需要擔心。546Please respect copyright.PENANAuyLRki3Itb
546Please respect copyright.PENANAO5YkNYpE2j
反而是萬藥釀造比較需要我去擔心。546Please respect copyright.PENANAFWtqO9Wiq4
546Please respect copyright.PENANAgGM1RqLXXk
莫拉瓦通知我最近店面的各種稅收都上升了,我本來以為只是小事,想讓他直接把錢繳完就了事,結果才發現這些稅額全部加起來幾乎吃掉我所有的營業額。546Please respect copyright.PENANAf71zqeqdnB
546Please respect copyright.PENANAn02qWAhpGZ
這玩笑開大了吧?546Please respect copyright.PENANAfJsiKjWb4u
546Please respect copyright.PENANAgISp4Y3l6P
不算地段稅收的問題,豔陽城的商人稅收都是普通的十稅一,了不起稅到二或三,哪個人膽子這麼大直接把稅額加到六成以上了?546Please respect copyright.PENANAMZGOSz5ndq
546Please respect copyright.PENANA9QZHbZ7yGT
而且連我讓莫拉瓦在城裡購買的藥草和容器都針對我硬是拔高關稅,怎麼回事啊這些人?546Please respect copyright.PENANAtanc3zm3yL
546Please respect copyright.PENANAilLeWZc2k4
搞這種動作是想逼我表態嗎?546Please respect copyright.PENANAWbNlY35ABH
546Please respect copyright.PENANA4be1McjCdx
我是要表什麼態?546Please respect copyright.PENANAVPTqQsNKf7
546Please respect copyright.PENANAsMLEyxWt0a
是想幹嘛啊?546Please respect copyright.PENANAyQnUwSQgah
546Please respect copyright.PENANArU9II3KB8Y
好麻煩啊!546Please respect copyright.PENANAWEut0lmboe
546Please respect copyright.PENANAQjy9zLUg0y
之前我在城裡不管做什麼事都不會有人理會的,怎麼現在才開始搞這種動作出來?546Please respect copyright.PENANAi9kRcCklma
546Please respect copyright.PENANABVzpfcsgMr
不、等等,搞不好也是因為讓我逍遙這麼久,開始覺得我都在這裡過這麼開心了,應該也要給他們一點表示?546Please respect copyright.PENANA9cenblCITn
546Please respect copyright.PENANAZggfCMRxb0
加上森林裡的營地大概也讓很多貴族沉不住氣,覺得是時候該壓一壓我了?546Please respect copyright.PENANAM8PN4poOae
546Please respect copyright.PENANAjWTCyAVCCC
欸不是。546Please respect copyright.PENANAFyti4P3AQp
546Please respect copyright.PENANAkGmmMXYig5
你們人類不是應該害怕高等舊人類嗎?546Please respect copyright.PENANACp0mgl9xAQ
546Please respect copyright.PENANAWuGaYMZAjN
現在做出這種舉動決定是想找我出面,但是又拉不下臉來邀請我……不是,稅收這麼明目張膽的調升,絕對是領主放任這樣作的吧!546Please respect copyright.PENANAhhIogYS2ql
546Please respect copyright.PENANAyNNZ4biSaQ
不就是你下令底下的人不要隨便來接觸我的嗎!546Please respect copyright.PENANAwxXAefy3re
546Please respect copyright.PENANAUulPgzfwtz
現在搞這一齣戲又是怎麼回事?546Please respect copyright.PENANAeg8gJ9h2q3
546Please respect copyright.PENANANBgQBZN8kd
你們領主家裡面的矛盾不要把我這個外人牽扯進去好不好?546Please respect copyright.PENANAWN53eWw8ID
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5OX3dr1TEg
真的是頭很痛耶!546Please respect copyright.PENANAvpmt9teVW7
546Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gnm80GqXr
唉。546Please respect copyright.PENANAo0JrlJz8r1
546Please respect copyright.PENANA08lYYOWvQi
抱怨歸抱怨,我也不能不管這件事,要把豔陽城作為一個據點,貴族方面還是必須照顧才行,領主留這一手就是想要我去跟他會面,那我就先順他的意吧。546Please respect copyright.PENANAN0X3mlT8sp
546Please respect copyright.PENANAlreER5gshn
透過增稅文書上留下的訊息,我讓莫拉瓦去申請詳談,有點類似那種繳不出稅的暫緩措施,很快就得到一個會面的時間地點。546Please respect copyright.PENANAWoJUxO83Q3
546Please respect copyright.PENANAahRU6o23hA
而且很微妙的,還要求我低調過去,那個詳談地點也明顯不是在城市裡的市公所,而是在一個私人住宅裡面。546Please respect copyright.PENANAf7R6sAGnDc
546Please respect copyright.PENANA9I2VpCVhJR
這樣還不覺得有問題,那就是我有問題了。546Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1TX86wTgJ
546Please respect copyright.PENANAYBuVSeO4IA
我也不是對領主一家沒有任何概念,能搜查的部分我也會查。546Please respect copyright.PENANAyYGy7Wr5iE
546Please respect copyright.PENANAzExdcyYGrD
這個城市的行政規劃、市場規劃、各種商業執行都是由一位「天才次子」安排的,就我所知,要求各大貴族不要與我接觸的,也是這位次子。546Please respect copyright.PENANAoTOS9YSgEk
546Please respect copyright.PENANAjAmSXF6sOI
然而這次這個要和我私下會面的人不是那位次子。546Please respect copyright.PENANAea9ZMlCyc6
546Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ENjR655I
而是領主長子。546Please respect copyright.PENANAYCCl6JpITa
546Please respect copyright.PENANAIaoOVBD5nd
這個就顯而易見了,十之八九是次子太過優秀,長子擔心自己繼承權的位置,但是又動不了對方,所以想從我這邊下手,看能不能得到認同什麼的。546Please respect copyright.PENANA8xkykVQALA
546Please respect copyright.PENANAWKYyKfdRqt
不好意思了長子,我對次子的興趣也是比較大。546Please respect copyright.PENANAuvhSEZ486S
546Please respect copyright.PENANA06PPfwvupv
畢竟他太符合異世界人的標準了。546Please respect copyright.PENANAtV2JJ6F7ny
546Please respect copyright.PENANARCNVrQN1is
不過我也不好打草驚蛇,所以利用下這個長子,看看能不能盡力套到次子的底細吧。546Please respect copyright.PENANAoSvtsh83EN
546Please respect copyright.PENANASIHoTRp2cJ
預約詳談的時間也非常緊急,我在萬藥釀造裡請莫拉瓦去市公所查辦稅金問題,不到半小時就約好了隔天早上的會面,還要求我低調前往,時間緊迫得讓我也不好做其他安排,只好全靠自己了。546Please respect copyright.PENANACqfZTfe8k9
546Please respect copyright.PENANAJrGRDUlxIN
一方面我運用探尋魔法在會面地點部屬,只要盯梢到類似管家的人就追蹤上去,看能不能在短時間內找到可以偵察的重點人物。546Please respect copyright.PENANAafsCyZEGiO
546Please respect copyright.PENANAot4BNzgCT8
一方面,我讓一個探尋魔法去追蹤凱的動向。546Please respect copyright.PENANAnqNeNw2GE8
546Please respect copyright.PENANAtHIQlQlnQP
自從哈爾告訴我需要小心這個人之後,我就一直都有在觀察他的動向。546Please respect copyright.PENANASFjsgtktYA
546Please respect copyright.PENANAK3d6kL0QOS
只是很剛好的,從曼拉希爾回來之後,我就再也沒有和冷鋒小隊進行什麼冒險者任務了,所以也就只有發現他幾次和一些貴族層級的人士打過交道,之後他也沒有什麼明顯的舉動。546Please respect copyright.PENANA08HYLG2yn2
546Please respect copyright.PENANAii1KSboo13
本來想著不要去侵犯他的隱私,可現在不是裝作正人君子的時候了,探尋魔法從現在開始監視他的一舉一動,而之前與他接觸過的人也同樣進行監視,雖然不知道這一點時間可以查到什麼,但總好過什麼都沒做。546Please respect copyright.PENANAJiTy8iH6I5
546Please respect copyright.PENANAmgAKRrEbNu
做完這些之後,我慢慢等待時間過去,直到隔天預約會面的時間到來。546Please respect copyright.PENANAhnwktHNeuG
546Please respect copyright.PENANAlc3xvW3Gmh
由於他們特別告知我不要太招搖,所以我決定直接使用最簡單的傳送前往貴族的豪宅,故意嚇他們一下以外,也算一種展現自我能力的方式。546Please respect copyright.PENANAPCkm74hhqP
546Please respect copyright.PENANARahpK7nDFZ
唉,只是個傳送居然也算是實力證明了,想想就覺得淒涼。546Please respect copyright.PENANAQM92yl66HF
546Please respect copyright.PENANAgyJMw44VMD
為了給長子作為貴族的尊重,這一次會面,我不再是穿著作為冒險者的服裝,而是穿著參考過貴族女性所製作的禮服。546Please respect copyright.PENANAmx69ea4f74
546Please respect copyright.PENANAixFQotn4pZ
灰藍色一件式的長裙搭上長袖,然後根據我自己的習慣改成不露胸也不露背的樣式,帶著席安納和卡登做為從者在身旁,才使用傳送魔法直接來到對方僕從們等後的地點前。546Please respect copyright.PENANAMSngkrT2eu
546Please respect copyright.PENANA7ksssSPSW1
於是理所當然的把那群人都嚇了一跳。546Please respect copyright.PENANACo6hdJigoZ
546Please respect copyright.PENANAr7U6ve0d1h
「歡、歡迎艾利法大人蒞臨!」546Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0sUE6eLLc
546Please respect copyright.PENANAZpADavkNVk
畢竟是城主,公爵級別的貴族,作為這樣貴族的僕從們反應力是一流的,就算嚇到了也不會失態,他們一行人依然保持完美的姿態為我們帶路。546Please respect copyright.PENANADpaJBPnFUM
546Please respect copyright.PENANAylDH3qVgvm
因為事先探查過,所以我知道這棟位於北城區中央的小別墅其實是領主長子的私人建築,聚集在裡面的人基本派系都是站在長子這方,暫時沒有找到是否有其他派系的間諜。546Please respect copyright.PENANAhkVrALQmoM
546Please respect copyright.PENANAW8i2WjSOGZ
大概就是因為對這裡的人很放心,所以就算長子不在場,這裡的人們說話也沒有進行任何遮掩,他們做什麼計劃排練我基本都知道了。546Please respect copyright.PENANA2sbkopLyce
546Please respect copyright.PENANA6nCEBdLcFb
好比說長子其實不太相信我是高等舊人類,他比較願意相信我是一個有舊人類血統的強大法師,因為實力強大所以基本上也想和我建立良好的關係。546Please respect copyright.PENANA2k59WEoK4L
546Please respect copyright.PENANAluNmO55zcv
這場會面最主要的目的就是讓我加入長子麾下,這樣以我身上的技術輔助,不論是武力還是城市發展都可以得到很大的幫助,他們也可以在與次子的競爭中站穩腳步。546Please respect copyright.PENANAlaFeakwSWG
546Please respect copyright.PENANAsR27uDGMiy
當然最好是可以把我收入房中,直接點說就是結婚,這樣對他而言是最好的。546Please respect copyright.PENANAnS82LwOfR1
546Please respect copyright.PENANAjlNARxlY9y
不過他們沒有把這件事太放在心上,長子怎麼想的不清楚,但這些傭人倒是很懂,我現在至今都是一個冒險者而沒有依附任何貴族就已經是很清楚的姿態表明了。546Please respect copyright.PENANACAOOgjqVxt
546Please respect copyright.PENANAHY1U50ZLCr
雖然知道了這些,但主要都是下屬僕從的想法,長子本人的還不知道,所以還是要等真的會面了才能揭曉他的想法。546Please respect copyright.PENANA0mLZUYHzNz
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5SAgFAmRgF
我們隨著僕從的帶領下進入會客廳,但長子並不再裡面,我還稍坐一會後,會客廳的門才再一次打開來。546Please respect copyright.PENANASbw7I67TXU
546Please respect copyright.PENANAAJS8XEZK16
「讓您久候了,這位是帝國一等男爵,海姆茲.鮑爾!」546Please respect copyright.PENANAEdnx8c39Zy
546Please respect copyright.PENANAkCk5WNMF6K
等等,這樣特別介紹出來啊?546Please respect copyright.PENANA0RraAEP30K
546Please respect copyright.PENANAUdShhHFczQ
我趕緊起身,對著鮑爾行了女性貴族禮,微微拉起裙身、輕輕點頭表示尊重。546Please respect copyright.PENANAYv07wEiAj1
546Please respect copyright.PENANABFydJl4E3o
我不知道他是怎麼想的,但是特別這樣唱名現身,怎麼想都是在展示自己的地位權威,想用上位者的身份先示威吧?546Please respect copyright.PENANApfCINzi2vg
546Please respect copyright.PENANAGE8I1MfmoR
你很麻煩耶!546Please respect copyright.PENANAVvRW0QZoU1
546Please respect copyright.PENANAzdnKr1AOqV
肯給你這種表示平等的尊重行禮已經是我最大的善意,不要再想著壓我一頭喔!546Please respect copyright.PENANAszjaMPYCpS
546Please respect copyright.PENANAdJDuJBZtgK
龐拉查.塞霍迪.雅托.海姆茲……這姓氏真的是長到嚇死人,做為這個家族的長子,鮑爾是一位很有貴族氣息的沉穩男性,長相乾乾淨淨、雖然看著可能有三十歲以上,不過實際上只是個二十二歲的大男孩而已。546Please respect copyright.PENANA4YcqReTiYx
546Please respect copyright.PENANAeg6BSP8OWL
「很高興你願意出席這樣的會面,諾法拉蒂.艾利法小姐。」546Please respect copyright.PENANAz3apSKCJ9z
546Please respect copyright.PENANAOieoIMGDQ7
他沒有對我的行禮做出任何表示,請我入座後開口第一句話就是把我的全名說出來,好像在告訴我他已經把我的身家背景都調查出來一樣。546Please respect copyright.PENANAvGXbH4DGWO
546Please respect copyright.PENANA8W5xZgslxb
「我恐怕沒有拒絕的權利吧?鮑爾閣下,這不是你操作好的嗎?」546Please respect copyright.PENANAlm9CAP7mJu
546Please respect copyright.PENANAjUXhhyvZeP
作為被他用稅金這樣胡搞瞎搞的我沒必要對他擺出好臉色,所以我沒有客氣,也是開口就回敬他一句抱怨。546Please respect copyright.PENANA4TPtdDj8mE
546Please respect copyright.PENANAY3qj9eEoK0
沒想到這個男爵沒表現出生氣的模樣,反而是豪邁地大笑出聲,搞什麼啊這個人。546Please respect copyright.PENANAVJdmxgVUEe
546Please respect copyright.PENANA9fmxvvPMQz
「真是失禮了,我很抱歉,從報告上顯示艾利法小姐擁有的財富相當驚人,我想著只是普通的加稅不會引起你的注意,實際上,我本來認為只增加這點稅金應該也不能驚動到你,沒想到只是動了這一步你就來了。」546Please respect copyright.PENANAFRd1re2oTy
546Please respect copyright.PENANA1vJsaO6mOn
什麼意思啊你。546Please respect copyright.PENANAU9JBqeme0A
546Please respect copyright.PENANAOxcXa28ito
我就算錢多到花不完也不表示我會願意平白無故把錢送人,這是想嘲笑我不懂怎麼經營嗎?546Please respect copyright.PENANADi0AaJzdqz
546Please respect copyright.PENANAnKFNd5TGRe
完全搞不懂他哪裡有想和我保持良好關係了!546Please respect copyright.PENANA4yD3gNseyj
546Please respect copyright.PENANA2wwvvDT0vE
好吧。546Please respect copyright.PENANA8gFmC4DuFz
546Please respect copyright.PENANACLWqubxYGT
我深呼吸口氣。546Please respect copyright.PENANAmn3AA9mhxJ
546Please respect copyright.PENANAkcYiJt64XY
想辦法知道這傢伙到底想做什麼吧。546Please respect copyright.PENANAL9VrOECHKe
