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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAMoTfrFBPd0
569Please respect copyright.PENANAXervdHN43b
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANA6EID4VGsXg
569Please respect copyright.PENANAAg2xa7f3R3
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAcEoqN0Tx3J
569Please respect copyright.PENANAs2zF7T3QHS
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAylU9jDFu4p
569Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7hx2qSgs3
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAiNvNEixh5D
569Please respect copyright.PENANAoFwme4CF01
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAz2Z7HjFqlE
569Please respect copyright.PENANAOVv8epoEwv
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAv8aFx5C8uN
569Please respect copyright.PENANAivZvcxTDdh
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAlqtQ6xA0Tk
569Please respect copyright.PENANARDOjsvKJNv
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAmNTphl3NcK
569Please respect copyright.PENANAOYTVsRKxUW
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANANrxWLpOFmo
569Please respect copyright.PENANApalYbVP56K
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAPKvEBOFzeh
569Please respect copyright.PENANAyhGwBweLP2
反而是萬藥釀造比較需要我去擔心。569Please respect copyright.PENANAqWKLQ827sx
569Please respect copyright.PENANAQK5ghmA8Sg
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAxmHcuEcxzS
569Please respect copyright.PENANAIMVfTRONgV
這玩笑開大了吧?569Please respect copyright.PENANA0sbZFGYQsG
569Please respect copyright.PENANAhrutgvidjb
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANANu3l4BX9t8
569Please respect copyright.PENANAAeObCitth3
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANA9B3r5dvK9y
569Please respect copyright.PENANAqFFKrLfct5
搞這種動作是想逼我表態嗎?569Please respect copyright.PENANAIh7KnshYSm
569Please respect copyright.PENANAiLLHpPGP1W
我是要表什麼態?569Please respect copyright.PENANAdaVUSjrjff
569Please respect copyright.PENANALgF3iquwdw
是想幹嘛啊?569Please respect copyright.PENANA1tDyffgAM0
569Please respect copyright.PENANAJc4p0AglRo
好麻煩啊!569Please respect copyright.PENANApqy156V4ck
569Please respect copyright.PENANACProjZDKSN
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANAf0QeTn0Zx9
569Please respect copyright.PENANAcyx2CN9cva
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANAcjzmuog1uJ
569Please respect copyright.PENANAGedxHQSLgq
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANATjlhAsSthe
569Please respect copyright.PENANAZh5vdVaBQp
欸不是。569Please respect copyright.PENANAI2HArjGe2p
569Please respect copyright.PENANAueJOKvQFLA
你們人類不是應該害怕高等舊人類嗎?569Please respect copyright.PENANAMxnyqCTZyf
569Please respect copyright.PENANAtw31az286K
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!569Please respect copyright.PENANArSeOltAfdm
569Please respect copyright.PENANAZYIbSNECCq
不就是你下令底下的人不要隨便來接觸我的嗎!569Please respect copyright.PENANAsnqcvowzlH
569Please respect copyright.PENANAaPMlr1scOy
現在搞這一齣戲又是怎麼回事?569Please respect copyright.PENANAnWj7sVW7lM
569Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ1qDPE60A
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANAImfjj73C8J
569Please respect copyright.PENANAQCsKeO9pAZ
真的是頭很痛耶!569Please respect copyright.PENANAc54asATCvS
569Please respect copyright.PENANAwOvnASUmFN
唉。569Please respect copyright.PENANAegfexFAhFd
569Please respect copyright.PENANAoLkUOncvNN
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANACgjBgxhzvJ
569Please respect copyright.PENANABxlV3e5kpV
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANA5HTPDfLCRr
569Please respect copyright.PENANAR4FBUATayK
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAS5f9rsu7EM
569Please respect copyright.PENANAp3wqUVc5wY
這樣還不覺得有問題,那就是我有問題了。569Please respect copyright.PENANALZ9D1CZQLA
569Please respect copyright.PENANAZFj2ZlazYh
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAUJZP0YrTCZ
569Please respect copyright.PENANApK0YJCaaRR
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANA1EXCvbbTGj
569Please respect copyright.PENANAOgkFKCouHL
然而這次這個要和我私下會面的人不是那位次子。569Please respect copyright.PENANAdVn4jnivnX
569Please respect copyright.PENANArHx0tKygiP
而是領主長子。569Please respect copyright.PENANA9NKetWHh5q
569Please respect copyright.PENANAaHWJdcuT3F
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAi4KX1z24WR
569Please respect copyright.PENANAq0gFBrMK3w
不好意思了長子,我對次子的興趣也是比較大。569Please respect copyright.PENANA0H9RFgammN
569Please respect copyright.PENANACR06rKTYdu
畢竟他太符合異世界人的標準了。569Please respect copyright.PENANAnphmSNCt1l
569Please respect copyright.PENANAf2zts2KuUJ
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAxIbq6JaexJ
569Please respect copyright.PENANAovz4v7bSGo
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAy1KbfJfHax
569Please respect copyright.PENANAlsQPL6YXSr
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAG6Fc7iaL7N
569Please respect copyright.PENANAcbmrDoKIBk
一方面,我讓一個探尋魔法去追蹤凱的動向。569Please respect copyright.PENANA2RkAglOuVj
569Please respect copyright.PENANAdGv4UiVALA
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAAvQfmuf0mz
569Please respect copyright.PENANAgCtLA2itlY
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANARqGNyVmfqx
569Please respect copyright.PENANA5L4toezxBp
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAvXC7fh6c0H
569Please respect copyright.PENANAx6scX0pYgW
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAUhfFClTMOR
569Please respect copyright.PENANA4wkuICIzHG
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAXlrLwJ8qKC
569Please respect copyright.PENANAvAUdSs6lZH
唉,只是個傳送居然也算是實力證明了,想想就覺得淒涼。569Please respect copyright.PENANA3DzkMfiRYF
569Please respect copyright.PENANAiN6re6Jvn6
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAqIg4iDffFV
569Please respect copyright.PENANAKJGQcl9E0h
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAFLRxTgdQHk
569Please respect copyright.PENANAuDppzgMo2T
於是理所當然的把那群人都嚇了一跳。569Please respect copyright.PENANAgBFfDc2yBo
569Please respect copyright.PENANAXffpxXuLKL
「歡、歡迎艾利法大人蒞臨!」569Please respect copyright.PENANAPZE00AGTh3
569Please respect copyright.PENANAzpXKXtJV8T
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAXNDLx1DA8Q
569Please respect copyright.PENANAOD3Ss9NKSt
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAZEOtDeo9vl
569Please respect copyright.PENANAdrFnkEXi13
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3BSFTrjlT
569Please respect copyright.PENANAVpSMjtuO63
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAObUNUeUj73
569Please respect copyright.PENANA8lYpxSBmZf
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANA1lMlTHoD73
569Please respect copyright.PENANARpEY7qpWPb
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAfDxQTMyOnU
569Please respect copyright.PENANAbIOf3OFUFL
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAYgogJlPfuo
569Please respect copyright.PENANAoUAZ9fFbZ4
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANADb2M6cX0OQ
569Please respect copyright.PENANAyvt3L8Cj6S
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANADzJRcNcndI
569Please respect copyright.PENANAXmmAWCGBai
「讓您久候了,這位是帝國一等男爵,海姆茲.鮑爾!」569Please respect copyright.PENANAYKBklef74P
569Please respect copyright.PENANATsPPKAuFZY
等等,這樣特別介紹出來啊?569Please respect copyright.PENANAuEJg2h3Xyg
569Please respect copyright.PENANAXFgNbBUKy1
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAGdFzncgSwe
569Please respect copyright.PENANAfiIgDY7ZOo
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANAhnnYh4HlyY
569Please respect copyright.PENANAEAOnhTcIYQ
你很麻煩耶!569Please respect copyright.PENANA1SNYbaDD4X
569Please respect copyright.PENANAXo0Fc84zSQ
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!569Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z0TB4MUus
569Please respect copyright.PENANAklJ0lIgJxH
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAluYm61lzgU
569Please respect copyright.PENANA4fmk6rrywL
「很高興你願意出席這樣的會面,諾法拉蒂.艾利法小姐。」569Please respect copyright.PENANAV5PxL0GjKM
569Please respect copyright.PENANArDTW8rwXxA
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANA7VIxEAdiqY
569Please respect copyright.PENANAMdz99aWeYz
「我恐怕沒有拒絕的權利吧?鮑爾閣下,這不是你操作好的嗎?」569Please respect copyright.PENANA7x8UNyxS7K
569Please respect copyright.PENANAjentVDeqK6
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANARWMyXw6BGi
569Please respect copyright.PENANAUxQ0N52yvd
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。569Please respect copyright.PENANAqvWaFaWqBW
569Please respect copyright.PENANAu1KA2VU1Gm
「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。」569Please respect copyright.PENANAWFxfsu731w
569Please respect copyright.PENANAdKwm7QuDVX
什麼意思啊你。569Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Hej7zxbP
569Please respect copyright.PENANATHr4wHZHsu
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?569Please respect copyright.PENANARttyChGcZL
569Please respect copyright.PENANAtEo1gLXrlq
完全搞不懂他哪裡有想和我保持良好關係了!569Please respect copyright.PENANAevvb7MkFbo
569Please respect copyright.PENANADwTvfEZpsD
好吧。569Please respect copyright.PENANAaQGx4dnZVN
569Please respect copyright.PENANArIT5jgSBQM
我深呼吸口氣。569Please respect copyright.PENANAavp9mbf8io
569Please respect copyright.PENANAFNhdC8kKVl
想辦法知道這傢伙到底想做什麼吧。569Please respect copyright.PENANAADvAlfu6uc
