Is the Evil God Me?

Chapter 42: visit the countess

To be honest, the fear on the horse's back was only a brief moment.

As a modern man who used to ride on an open-top off-road jeep, the speed brought by this horse, even if he broke his leg, was not enough for Lynn to shake his mind. Having ridden a horse really wanted to ask her if the horse flew.

Of course Lynn couldn't greet Yefne like this.

He didn't want to use his head to compare the hardness of the blade. Although it was a noble honor to be beheaded, Lynn didn't want him to enjoy the treatment of the ruling class prematurely.

The countess' private estate is outside the city.

That's why Yefni decided to go there on horseback, because the two of them would be able to get there faster, and the traffic conditions on horseback were a little bit better than on a carriage.

[City of Steam] Most noble manors are built outside the city, and one of the most important reasons is environmental issues.

With the vigorous construction of industrial areas, the water waves and steam that cover the sky, and the coal used in mixed phlogiston, sometimes in strong windy weather, a person may be covered with black ashes standing outside for half an hour. In the River Thame, the fish in it has basically died under the unrestricted sewage regulations.

It is conceivable that some areas in the [Steam City] are definitely not a good living environment.

Behind the prosperous industry is not only the flesh and blood of the bottom people.

In addition to recreation and work, the rich and powerful are more often willing to stay in private estates full of greenery and enjoy a noise-free and pollution-free environment. For example, most of the decrees of Stim City are not issued from the city government, but from the private manor of His Excellency the Mayor.

Some government bureaucrats have also mentioned the environmental problems of the [Steam City].

But the proponents often see it not as a political achievement, but as a bargaining chip with the fat industrial and commercial groups, and those voices that make a political donation quickly disappear.

Yefne's riding skills are superb, and her horse is also very docile and well-behaved. Even if she occasionally encounters a steam car with a jerking engine passing by, she will not be frightened and go mad.

Going to work and commuting are usually in the afternoon, and the roads out of the city are very smooth in the afternoon.

On the way, Lynn also found a topic and chatted with Yefni about the recently built subway track. Both of them held a common view, that is, the subway in the city may be the first choice for the poor to work for a long time.

The reason is also very simple.

Compared with 20 people in the carriage, 16 people are seated on the roof. When parking and getting off, people often fall off the public carriage.

Although the steam-pulled subway was criticized by the newspapers as being occupied by rats, soaked in sewer water, and a murder tunnel filled with poisonous gas, it surpassed the stagecoach in both speed and passenger capacity.

Most importantly, it's cheap enough.

After the chat, Lynn was a little bit dumbfounded. The birth of new technologies in this world is often made by rich people to invest, and only after they become military or powerful playthings, will they gradually evolve towards the civilian field. The subway system may be the first new technology ever built for the poor.

"That house."

Outside the city, Lin En, who had been away from the hustle and bustle of people, suddenly subconsciously pointed somewhere.

"What happened to the house?" Yephne looked solemn.

"I remember that once my father's property, but now..."

Lin En couldn't help but sigh. Although his father didn't have the luxury of a manor outside the city, he also bought two houses here. Lynn used to spend his holidays there, and most of his childhood memories with Sophia's sister were actually in the out-of-town house.

Really, except in winter, the eyes are full of vibrant green.

In his carefree childhood, he and Sophia would run or roll on the field to their heart's content, smelling the fragrance of the grass, chasing butterflies and birds. Or starry night.

very beautiful.

"You will be better than your father sooner or later." Yefne looked at Lynn's file and thought about the only way she could comfort this unfortunate teenager. She felt that he was a little depressed and sad behind him.

Sad ass, Lynn misses her beautiful childhood.

"I will."

The houses on that level have been covered under the lush jungle, and there is no trace of them behind. Lynn also retracted his eyes and said with a full of fighting spirit.

He didn't forget his big goal of returning home, the Beyonder was just the first step in Lynn's life.

Yefni's heroic face half-covered under her cloak was slightly surprised. Lynn's self-confidence gave her a sense of sight. The boy behind him seemed particularly dazzling and attractive. He was not only outstanding in appearance, but also invaluable in spirit. Ye Fani suddenly felt that Lynn's hand on her waist was a little hot, and she could feel the heat in her palm through two layers of clothes.

…………

…………

The rich woman's manor, in one word, is big.

When Lynn looked at it from a distance, he thought it was a farm at first, but Yefne said that it was Lord Emist's private estate, and Lynn coughed twice because of the saliva.

Well, poverty limited his imagination.

This also tells Lynn very intuitively how rich the countess who has invested in many industries is. Money is just a number to others.

At the entrance of the manor, Lynn had no chance to take out the gold leaf invitation from the countess. With a wave of the horsewhip, the air exploded with a loud roar, and Yefni lifted the cloak to reveal her face, and the doorkeeper obediently opened the door. Swiping his face is faster than swiping a card, so Lynn can only take back the invitation letter that she was about to take out~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Yefne turned her head slightly and glanced at Lynn quickly, as if she was smiling.

After entering for a while, he dismounts.

"Miss Yefni, this month's **** materials have been prepared, please let the boys take care of the horse and bring it back." The person who came to greet him was dressed as a manager, with a small pair of glasses on his face and his hair combed. tidy.

As soon as he raised his hand, two servants came over and took the whip.

"Wait a minute, I'm not in a hurry to leave this time."

It was obviously not the first time for Yefni to come to the Earl's Manor.

"Is Your Excellency the Earl in the manor?"

"Uh, today's itinerary is that the earl is enjoying afternoon tea at the moment, the two..." The steward hesitated, probably because he didn't want Yefni and Lynn to disturb the countess.

"It's official business in the bureau, you just need to report it directly." Yefni raised her head without doubt.

In addition to her status as the leader of the [Lamp Holder], Yefni seems to have an aristocratic status, which allows her to have a strong tone in this manor. Seeing this, the steward could only humbly bow his head and turn around to lead the way and let the attendant run to the announcement.

Lynn was keenly aware of Yefne's difficulties, but what surprised him even more was the fact that the relationship between the countess and the [Suppression Bureau] was closer than he imagined.

This almost above-mentioned transfer of interests often means that the cooperation between the two sides is a strategic binding and an absolute political ally.

So the question is, what is Amiste's position in Stim's political arena?

Lynn felt that he had to figure out these things urgently. Who is the enemy and who is the friend? Don't be on the wrong side of this, otherwise you will find yourself alone and helpless, and everyone is like your enemy.
