Chapter 89 89. Rules of the City

Will I affect the sorceress's spellcasting?

While looking at the two sorceresses opposite, Lan En couldn't help but make a guess.

"I don't know if shadows affect spellcasting, but I think if you nod, this Keira Metz will immediately untie her belt and throw you down on the chair."

Mentos, who was still working overtime to build the interception algorithm, took the time to complain.

Then Lan En put him in the overtime position again.

Compared to the greedy Keira, Triss, who was truly affected by Lan En's magic power, seemed more rational at this time.

Of course, this may have something to do with Keira Metz's inherently bold style.

"Anyway, let's calm down first, ladies."

Lan En sat on the cashmere-covered chair and stretched out comfortably. Sorceresses really enjoy themselves, this is undeniable.

Keira's passion lies in the pleasure that power can bring.

Lan Enxin said that I couldn’t bear it either!

She put half of her body weight on the armrest, leaned forward and spoke seriously.

"Oh! Yes, business!"

The pupils of those cat eyes shrank slightly, which let Triss know that the other party understood what she meant.

"But Keira and I can't find any traces!"

"If someone purchases goods but does not show it on the books, it will cause a misalignment of the goods. If this happens often in a certain city, the city will lose the trust of merchants and become depressed."

In the blink of an eye, Lan En went through the other party's information in his brain.

"A municipal employee has to bear the risk of losing his job to do accounts. The benefit we get is less, one month's salary, ten oren. Three hundred people is three thousand oren! And more importantly"

Triss covered Keira's chest more tightly without leaving a trace, and nodded repeatedly.

Both Triss and Keira are passionate about politics.

Without making any move, Lan En spoke calmly.

One of the sorceresses sent to Vizima by Arethusa as the king's royal advisor.

Lan En listened quietly to this medieval-level management course.

But they are different from people like Triss who really care about the future of the country and worry about the impact of politics on the country.

This discomfort even made Keira pinch the handle of the chair next to her bitterly, and her physical desire for Lan En was completely forgotten.

The index finger and thumb of the studded leather glove made a "little bit" gesture.

"But this information has gone through at least three hundred 'nets', but there is still no mismatch of goods or money!"

"I am the debt collector entrusted by Arethusa, and you two are Arethusa's network."

In order to take care of this demon hunter who was "far away from civilized society", Triss repeated it with an emphasis.

"Can you understand what power this is?"

"In the city, everyone has a relationship with another person, everyone pays wages for others, and everyone receives wages from others. And the official institutions belonging to Temeria will pass

They have a huge amount of accounting and finance to capture the information in the circulation process of gold coins."

"The city has rules, Lan."

As long as you are doing business, whether illegal or legal, you must have this set of things.

Because even illegal transactions conducted by illegal organizations still need these things as evidence when dividing accounts, to appease people's hearts, prove the leader's leadership, and encourage his subordinates to continue to work hard with him.

"This is not some big shot holding a goblet and just saying 'let this matter be done' and there will be no trace! If you want to cover up the traces, you need to pay a cost! A huge cost! Even the act of paying the cost,

All require huge power as a threshold.”

But in Lan En's questioning eyes, the two high-ranking female spell casters all ignored the influence of that pretty face.

Keira Metz, the sorceress who is bold and coquettish in both dress and behavior, said softly.

"It seems that the other party's preparations are beyond imagination. Even beyond the imagination of both of you."

The core concept in Triss' speech is: Everything you do will leave traces in the civilized world.

When Triss was speaking, she raised the palm of one hand and put it aside. This represented the wild environment she was talking about.

Without this set of things, there is no way to think about growing the business, and even the structure of the organization itself will fall apart on the spot.

"Is the most important job of an intelligence agency to release spies? No. It is to find hidden information in the financial statements and material statements accumulated during the operation of the city!"

"The slave trade in Temeria is absolutely intolerable!"

What normal person can tolerate the slave trade? Who can tolerate high blood pressure if humans are treated purely as goods, transported and domesticated like animals?

But I came here to get information!

"So, the human beings there will give up part of their civilization and return to the state of nature."

"But in cities, the state has complete supervision and security forces. The complexity of the distribution of these forces even exceeds the imagination of professionals!"

He frowned and shook his head slightly.

In other words, this person has a very strong desire for power.

"This list and cargo invoice information are handled by departments such as terminal management, city gate inspection, tax verification, bank financial docking, etc., with at least more than 300 people handling it! This is only a position that requires verification of information."

"To be honest, we didn't find anything."

Keira didn't care whether Lan En's thinking could keep up, she continued with a bitter sneer.

Triss's face also turned serious.

"So, I think you won't have any difficulty understanding what I'm going to say next."

What situation would make a person who has a strong desire for power and already has a lot of power feel uncomfortable?

"Let's get down to business. Let's get this thing over with as soon as possible."

"Kaila and I checked all the freight manifests and property invoices for land transportation and sea transportation going back fifteen days. There is no trace at all!"

"But that's only in the wild, outside the civilized world. There is no systematic supervision system, no complete infrastructure, and no strong security force."

——She discovered areas beyond the reach of her power.

"There are rules within cities and countries, Lan En. You stay in the wilds like Willen all year round, far away from people. That's why you can see people fighting each other there, sword against sword, sword against sword.

Straightforward and wild, fierce and ruthless.”

While speaking, her expression not only showed the difficulty of not completing the college's instructions, but also a strong sense of unwillingness.

But now, Triss looked at Lan En's amber cat eyes seriously and spoke word by word.

Triss pursed her lips when she spoke, as if she wanted to carefully consider her next words and lower the threshold of understanding.

"Lan En, I don't know your educational background. You demon hunters are very mysterious. We thought you were a group of savages who lived in isolation. But today, the fluency with which you temporarily inserted [Speech of the Heart] was astonishing.

It means that even among the magicians, you are at least a very smart person."

There are various traces of ledgers, cargo invoices, and money flows.

"Please speak." Lan En leaned back and crossed his palms in front of his lower abdomen, pretending to be listening.

"Although I have no education, I still understand a little bit of the truth."

Then, she raised another palm towards Lan En.

"At least three thousand orens flowed into the hands of at least three hundred city officials, and our financial supervision department didn't even notice it at all! Haha."

Keira raised the wine glass on the table to Lan En, half-smiling.

"Thanks to you, handsome witcher. Otherwise, we both would have thought we had established a foothold in this city."
