I like traveling the most

"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night." The handsome and elegant blond young man bowed slightly to express his apology.

Kobayashi smiled and motioned him to sit down first.

"Lan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to confirm something."

"What is it?"

Kobayashi made a cup of tea for him, and the rising steam blocked their sight. But Lan's words turned into a sharp sword, piercing through the steam and pointing directly at Kobayashi's heart.

"Mr. Kobayashi, you are not from the imperial capital, are you?"

"..."

Kobayashi remained silent.

Lan did not care about Kobayashi's almost tacit attitude, but continued to speak softly:

"According to the information I have collected, you are the uncle and nephew of an old watchmaker who died three years ago. It seems suspicious, but in fact, there is no flaw in the witnesses, evidence, and past experience.

If you focus all your energy on proving that you are not the nephew of the old watchmaker, you will definitely fall into your trap. But you overlooked a problem. "

Xiao Lin's eyes were slightly closed, and he asked, "What's the problem?"

"The problem of the old watchmaker."

Lan explained slowly, "Is he from the imperial capital? Is he a watchmaker? Is he a real person? As long as you start from this aspect, you can easily find that there is no such person as the old watchmaker in the 17 watch shops in the imperial capital, or the old watchmaker is just his disguise."

Pa Pa Pa——

Xiao Lin couldn't help clapping his hands and praised, "Very good reasoning, you are basically right."

"Mr. Xiao Lin is too kind, these are all the flaws you deliberately revealed, aren't they?" Lan's words surprised Xiao Lin even more.

I know your flaws.

I know you know my flaws.

I know you know I know your flaws.

It is based on this kind of nesting doll-like psychological game that Lan and Xiao Lin are alone tonight.

"I have to say, I want you more and more."

Lan has a calm personality and a smart mind. He can analyze the situation clearly and is not easy to fall into the trap.

As Esdeath's adjutant in the Hunters, he assists her in handling some political affairs and chores, which shows that he is very capable in internal affairs.

In addition to his current position, winning over will bring great help, and he is a talent that Kobayashi is extremely eager for.

"You want to get me... Although some people have special fetishes, I don't think you, Mr. Kobayashi, will get me literally?"

"No!"

Kobayashi couldn't help but complain: "Are you infected by Will?!"

"I think so too." Lan smiled.

The teasing just now was just a small episode to ease the atmosphere, but the next step is to get to the point.

"Lan, you said you have ambitions, right?"

"That's right."

When Lan joined the Hunters, he clearly said that he had ambitions, so he also had great motivation.

Others may not understand why this gentle young man said this.

But Kobayashi knows.

He used to be a teacher, and after returning from an outing, he found that his students were slaughtered by evil thieves.

The local practice of concealing the news in order to protect the reputation of law and order caused Lan's strong dissatisfaction. He joined the hunters to change the status quo of the empire and avenge his students.

"Before talking about business, I will give it to you to show my sincerity."

Kobayashi took out a document and placed it in front of Lan.

"What is it?"

"Why not open it and take a look."

With doubt, Lan gently flipped through the document, and his peaceful and peaceful face suddenly froze.

In fact, he joined the hunters for another reason, which was to find out who killed his students that year.

And the murderer was...

"The organization under the minister's son Sheila, [Wild Hound] Champ."

Lan gently said the name of the murderer.

If it was just speculation, Lan would not believe it, after all, he has judgment.

But he had an impression of the clown in the intelligence, and he clearly knew that the murderer who killed his students was a clown-like person.

So when he saw it again, he couldn't control his emotions. The document he held became wrinkled, and his hands turned slightly white because of the force.

But Lan had a good ability to manage emotions, and he calmed down in a few breaths.

"Although I don't know what Mr. Kobayashi's purpose is, I still want to thank you."

Standing up, he bowed deeply.

Kobayashi shook his head and said, "I just did a trivial thing. After all, Lan, you have been investigating this matter recently. With your intelligence, you can quickly find out who the murderer is. I just shortened the process."

"But no matter what, Mr. Kobayashi has helped me a lot."

Lan is unexpectedly persistent in this regard.

Perhaps because of this, he always wants to find the murderer who killed his students several years ago and avenge them.

Kobayashi sighed softly: "If the empire had not become like this, your students would not have been killed."

"...Probably." Lan looked sad.

"But! Lan, you should have noticed that the corrupt empire is hopeless!"

"..."

"So, do you want to join my side?"

The brewing emotions are in place, and Kobayashi invites him.

It is just a prelude to evoke his inner sadness, and the real purpose is to recruit him to join.

And Ran was not swayed by his emotions. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "Are you, Kobayashi, also a member of the Revolutionary Army like Tatsumi?"

I didn't expect that he had guessed that Tatsumi was a member of the Revolutionary Army. No wonder he took the initiative to ask Esdeath what to do if Tatsumi became an enemy. It seems that he was already alert.

But, unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

"I am not a member of the Revolutionary Army."

Kobayashi shook his head and explained: "Akusis Church... Have you heard of this name?"

"Akusis Church, is it the newly established church after the former An Ning Church changed its name?"

Lan tapped his chin with his index finger and said uncertainly: "Recently, I got information that the church is expanding and recruiting believers.

Many travelers said that the members of the church are very fanatical, and they are trying their best to preach to every passerby, and they strongly want to pull them into the church.

And the practice is very excessive and bad. After hearing about this, the passing business caravans were scared and took a detour to the capital."

...I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!

Kobayashi covered his face with his hands, ashamed to see people, and seriously doubted that it was a mistake for him to establish the Akusis Cult.

He did not expect that the leader would be so fanatical and lead the followers to preach to others crazily.

If Kobayashi had not strictly prohibited it, he would probably have taken the initiative to attack the surrounding towns.

It was precisely because of this that Kobayashi was so eager to get Lan so that he, the internal affairs officer, could act as a rein to curb the fanatical leader.

"In short! Lan, you should know that it is impossible to improve the empire from within. But once the revolutionary army revolts, it will cause more casualties among the people, so I established the Akusis Cult, hoping to resolve the dispute with wisdom and peace! Join us, Lan, I need you."

"Sorry, please let me think about it."

The calmed-down Ran would not be so easily moved by Kobayashi's eloquent speech.

And in his opinion, the Akusis Cult is no different from the revolutionary army, and the empire is not really as hopeless as Kobayashi said.

Naturally, he would not agree easily.

But he promised that he would seriously consider Xiaolin's request and said that he would not tell Esdeath what happened tonight.

Lan left, Xiaolin felt a little regretful.

He thought that he could use the death of his students to provoke Lan's anger and take the opportunity to impress him.

"It seems that I thought too simply, but Lan should also understand that the empire cannot be saved from the inside."

He sighed, picked up the kitten lying by the window, and said: "Are you right, lovely killer lady?"
