I like traveling the most

"Lord Lin, Princess Lana invites you to discuss something today. Please come with me to see Princess Lana after the training."

"Your Highness Princess... OK, I got it."

When the training was about to end, Clem told Lin about this.

Gazef probably guessed why Lin was so close to Lana, but he didn't ask too much.

The three of them had breakfast in the restaurant as usual, and after enjoying the soldiers' watching like animals, they followed Clem to the princess's boudoir again.

Unlike yesterday's politeness and restraint, Lin took the initiative to open the door before Clem, and subconsciously complained: "Your Highness Princess, it's only been a day, are you so anxious to get the result? It's a pity that my brother didn't come back last night. He was probably called by the second prince to discuss other things. He clearly said that there would be a family dinner in the evening... Eh?"

Looking up, he saw the beautiful woman sitting with the princess at the round table on the balcony.

Her green eyes and pink lips were all glowing with health. Although she is not as beautiful as Lana, she also exudes a different charm. If Lana is the brilliance of a gem, she is the brilliance of life. This is natural, after all, she is a priestess of the Faith Department.

—— Lacis Elbein Drew Aiendora.

It is hard to imagine seeing her in a pink dress, but in fact, this woman is the leader of one of the only two steel-level adventurer teams in the kingdom, and is also Lana's closest friend.

"Long time no see, Lacis, how are you recently? ——Healing."

Lin walked up quickly, took her hands, and used magic without saying a word. The light green fluorescent light of the life system enveloped her, and quickly dissipated in three or two seconds.

The sudden action made Lacis's body stiff on the spot. Seeing that she did not move, Lin reached out his hand to her forehead with concern to feel her body temperature.

"Well, apart from being a little hot, I'm in pretty good shape."

"Thank you for your concern... No, that's not right, please, please let me go...! It's very rude in front of Her Highness Lana!"

The blonde green-eyed girl broke free from the man's hands, her cheeks turned the same light pink as her clothes, she lowered her head slightly and looked shy.

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you ignore us when you saw the captain, huh?!"

The rough voice echoed in the room.

Lin turned his head and looked at the fat and strong woman who was very disproportionate to the small round table, and greeted her: "Gegran, don't you hate this kind of place that requires formal dress the most? Why did you come this time?"

Gegran grinned wildly: "I do hate formal occasions, but seeing the devil captain like this, I have no regrets even if I suffer."

"I didn't expect the devil captain to be shy. I've learned something new. I should have called Tia as well."

In the corner, a girl squatting with her hands on her knees spoke up. Although she was teasing her captain, her tone was too bland to make her intention clear.

Her name was Tina, and like Gagran and Tia, she was a member of the Blue Rose. I forgot that there was also a vampire loli old woman. But Lin didn't like her and often ignored her.

"You two, you will be punished when you go back!"

"Angry."

"Devil Captain."

Hearing Lagis's angry rebuke, Gagran and Tia pouted. But the two had expected this to happen before they came, so they didn't care.

"This is the first time I've seen Lagis like this."

"Lana?"

Her Highness's teasing and joking embarrassed the leader of the Honorary Kingdom's fine steel team. In this harmonious atmosphere, no one noticed that Lana's gem-like eyes were covered with a layer of gray mist.

"I'm very curious, do Lagis and Lord Lin know each other?"

"Hey, didn't I say that we are childhood sweethearts?"

Before Lin's brother married the daughter of the Duke, Lin, as the second son of the family, was childhood sweethearts with Lagis, the daughter of the Aindola family. Their friendship dates back to when they were six years old.

"At that time, Lagis was very naughty and often forced me to go to dangerous places, such as catching snakes, climbing mountains and going to the sea."

"Really?"

"Well, after all, girls develop very quickly, so she took me around."

"I see."

At some point, Tina came to Lin's side and whispered, "I want to know more about the devil captain. Please tell me privately later."

"No problem."

The two raised their thumbs and reached an agreement.

"Tina, please restrain yourself." Lagis smiled horribly, and then said awkwardly: "That happened when we were kids, and...if I hadn't forced you, it would probably be..."

Lin Liangran said: "Ah, that."

Lana was curious and said: "I don't know what you two are talking about. If you don't mind, can you tell me about it?"

"It's nothing, just because I couldn't get down from a tree when I was a kid."

"Yeah."

"Then I accidentally stepped on the air and fell down."

"Yeah?"

"Then I was born with a supernatural power - [Goddess's Grace]."

"Yeah???"

"After that, even my hair turned blue. Hahaha, it's not a past worth talking about."

"..."

As Lin recounted the past, Laci, who knew she had done something wrong, buried her face deeply in her hands. She must have felt remorse and regret for her playful and reckless childhood.

Gegelan smiled and said: "Even so, Captain Devil will come as soon as he hears about you, and he still dresses up beautifully."

"is that so?"

"That's not the case! Because it's a formal occasion, you have to wear formal attire!"

"Even if Her Highness the Princess doesn't mind?"

"...This is necessary, understand?"

The noble lady pressed Gegelan's shoulders and muttered at the same time: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have brought you here." Maybe she didn't expect that the teammates she brought would become the ones who would laugh at her.

"It seems like you have a very good relationship. I've been left out."

Lana smiled while complaining. If the expression with only raised corners of her mouth and unsmiling eyes could be called a smile.

Lin said casually: "The relationship should be relatively good, after all, the two of us almost got engaged."

"...Huh?"

"Because brother, in order to consolidate his political position five years ago, he was ambitious and wanted me to be engaged to the descendant of the Thirteen Heroes - the lady of the Ain Dora family, also known as Laxi. But later you I also know that my brother has lost his ambition and his engagement with Laisi is over."

"That's right."

The corners of Lana's mouth were raised higher than before, while Laxu sighed slightly for some reason.

Lin saw something was wrong in the atmosphere. Although he didn't know why the atmosphere was wrong, he knew he had to change the topic.

"So, what's the matter with Your Highness Princess calling me here this time? If you want to talk about what happened yesterday, it's a pity that I haven't seen my brother yet."

"No, this time it's about the experimental field."

When it came to the experimental field, Lin and Lana both had serious expressions on their faces, and Laxu also subconsciously straightened her posture.

Lana then told her plan.

Lin thought about it carefully and said: "Her Royal Highness means that if we plan to plant other crops in rotation, it can greatly slow down the consumption and buffer of the land, and also increase the harvest rate, right?"

"That's right."

"How long will it take to see results?"

"It's estimated to take about six years."

"So how much money was lost from growing other crops in the past six years?"

"Look at the types of crops this way. But assuming the normal harvest is 1, I think it will drop to 0.8, but it will permanently increase to 1.3 in six years. If the livestock breeding promoted by pasture cultivation is on track at the same time, the number will definitely be higher. high."

"Um……"

With the data from the experimental field as proof, there shouldn't be any mistakes, and there's no need for Lana to cheat.

I have to say, it’s a pretty high ratio.

However--

Lapis frowned and said, "It may be tempting to just listen to what you say, but can farmers accept a loss of 0.2 in six years? Moreover, it will take at least four years to recover the losses in six years." . In other words, it will take a total of ten years.”

"I have already thought about this. The kingdom only needs to provide an interest-free and guarantee-free loan for this 0.2 loss, and it will be repaid after the harvest is recovered. If the harvest does not increase, there is no need to repay it, or other methods. The most important thing is , as long as the harvest increases, the loan can be paid off in just four years.”

"I find it difficult."

"Why?"

"That's why I said it. People pay more attention to immediate interests, and many people want to pursue stability. Even if we tell them that it will definitely increase to 1.3 in six years, of course everyone will still hesitate."

"I... don't quite understand. The experimental field is going very smoothly..."

Lana was a little at a loss.

It seems that I have already put the data in front of my eyes, why am I still being rejected - I have become a person who can only talk on paper.

Lin slowly said: "Probably because I haven't seen the actual returns, I am hesitant. Moreover, the opposing nobles will be happy to see the royal family bear the losses in six years, which will lead to a decline in national strength. Even if six years If you really gain 1.3 after the year, the power of the opposing nobles will also increase... In other words, the royal family will not be able to take advantage of it no matter what."

This is the epitome of how Lana was blocked every time she pushed for a new bill.

It is true that the bill she proposed will benefit the common people, but due to the current political disputes in the kingdom and the constraints of all parties, the bill cannot be implemented smoothly at all.

"Then find a businessman..."

"Those merchants you mentioned, although they do not participate in the political disputes in the kingdom, they also have their own opponents. If they easily assist a certain faction, they may ruin the business relationship with another faction."

Laxus poured cold water on it.

Lana closed her eyes slightly and said helplessly: "It's very difficult... Laxu."

"Even if you are not good at clearing things up beforehand, there are many loopholes in the policy. Well... I also understand that there are two major factions in the country, and it is very difficult to pass the bill." Laxu also sighed.

Lin looked at the two people who were pretending.

No, Laxus may really feel troubled and helpless, but Her Royal Highness is definitely pretending. After all, if she had no choice, Lin wouldn't be here.

"...Rebun collar."

"What?"

"It will be fine if Reborn leads the way."

First of all, Reborn is the largest noble in the kingdom and owns the largest territory, so the average data can be seen more intuitively when implementing policies.

Secondly, Marquis Leibun is financially strong, and even if he loses 0.2 every year for six years, he can bear it, and it will not affect the operation of the territory.

Finally, Marquis Leibun is tied to the Akusis Church. If there is a shortage of manpower or something unusual happens during the implementation, the Akusis Church can also clean up the mess.

Her Royal Highness has long seen this point.

Of course, the premise of everything is that Marquis Leibun must stand on their side.

The terrible princess has already eaten herself to death. Lin can have a deeper understanding of Lana's monster only after feeling the superhuman intelligence most directly.

"Is it okay?!"

"Won't it cause trouble to the Leibun family?"

Unlike Lana who pretended to be happy and excited, Lagis looked a little worried and concerned.

Lin waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, the data of the experimental field is not fake, and the super high return rate of 1.3 will make even my brother excited."

The nobles of the kingdom are very awkward.

They both resisted and wanted the plan proposed by Her Royal Highness the Princess, but generally speaking, they just didn't want to take risks. However, the Leibuen family didn't mind taking this little risk.

Other nobles might make a small profit, but the Leibuen family would never lose money. If the yield rate was really as high as 1.3, it would be a huge profit!

"Let's talk about my side next."

Seeing that the problem of the experimental field was over, Lagis opened the bag handed over by Tina and took out a piece of parchment.

This was something Lagis couldn't decipher.

She handed the parchment to Lana and said, "We found this parchment when we burned the black powder in the village. I guess it should be some kind of written instructions and brought it back. Can you tell what it is?"

The unrolled parchment was full of marks, not the text of any kingdom. Lana only glanced at it and replied nonchalantly:

"It's a substitution cipher."

The so-called substitution cipher is to replace the plain text with other text or marks, etc. in one or several words as a unit.

For example, a replaces x, and b replaces √.

"I thought so too, so I looked for the replacement table for a long time, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Because the replacement table may be memorized, we captured a man who was suspected to be the person in charge. I think the best way should be to use the confusion magic to make him change sides and ask for the decoding method... But you also know that the same warlock will get worse and worse if he casts the confusion magic on the same object continuously, so I want to be cautious and talk to you first."

"Is that the reason for staying at the scene... a trap... or a deeper reason? If so, then there will be no too difficult replacement. Well, I think this code should not be difficult to decipher. Let me think, the first one in the Kingdom language is... wait for me."

Then she left with the parchment.

Lana's words made Lagis widen her eyes, and she couldn't help but look at Lin opposite, and found that the other party was accustomed to it.

It was unbelievable.

But on the other hand, she knew Lana could do it.

When Lana closed the door, Lagis crossed her hands and placed them under her chin, and asked in an extremely oppressive tone: "Okay, let's talk about you and Lana. Lin, what is your relationship with Lana?!"

"Huh?"

For some reason, Lin had the illusion that he was caught cheating with his wife, and under the gaze of Lagis, Gegran, and Tina.

...This damn three-court trial!
