Shayou hoped to get a military position quickly. Her village could no longer hold on.
According to the normal procedures, it was impossible to get a high-ranking military position in a short period of time unless it was recommended by someone or bribed a high-ranking officer.
Shayou knew about bribery. The old blacksmith who taught her was once a soldier of the Empire, so he knew about the unspoken rules in the army.
They did not know that the empire had completely decayed. There were indeed bribes, but they were all small nobles bribing high-level nobles.
For a person like Sha You who had no background and no ability, if she took out money to bribe others, she would definitely be swallowed up by others and get nothing.
If they were unlucky, they would be put under house arrest and reduced to toys. Sha You's figure and beauty were not bad, which would definitely attract those demons in human skin.
The final outcome would definitely be death. Sha You did not know the darkness of the Imperial City, so she did not have any defenses.
Shayou followed the manager to a house. Prynne and Cornelia were following them quietly not far behind.
"Instructor, you specially came to Hillford because you're worried about Shayou, right?”
"That's the reason. Of course, I also want to observe the changes in the capital. It's been two years since I last came to the capital.”
"That's right. If it weren't for the Empire's policies, the commoners wouldn't be living so hard.”
"Minister Ornest is the culprit. Everything is his doing, and he is the one who caused the empire to become like this.”
"Instructor, I don't understand. With your strength, wouldn't it be easy for you to sneak into the palace and kill Minister Ernest? Why did you keep him until now?”
This was Cornelia's biggest doubt. She was probably not the only one. Everyone else was confused.
Prynne's strength was already one of the strongest in the empire ten years ago. No one knew how powerful she would be ten years later. It was understandable that she did not have the ability ten years ago.
After all, ten years could allow a person to grow stronger. Logically speaking, it should be easier for Prynne to assassinate Minister Ornest ten years later.
However, Prynne did not make a move and allowed Ernest to live.
Hearing Cornelia's doubts, Prynne could only smile bitterly. Only he knew the real reason, but he could not say it.
Now was not the right time, so he could only say,""Don't underestimate the Empire. After all, the Empire has a history of more than 1000 years. Who knows its true strength? I've been in the Empire before, and I know that the Empire is not as simple as it looks.”
"Is there anyone who can deal with you, Instructor?”Cornelia was shocked.
"No, there are some things that I haven't told you yet. When the time is right, you will naturally know. You just need to know that I have a reason for doing this.”Prynne patted Cornelia's head.
This intimate action made Cornelia shy for a moment. She secretly glanced at Prynne and chose to trust Prynne unconditionally.
Since Prynne said so, he must have his reasons and reasons. Cornelia did not continue to ask. Time would give her the answer to some questions.
"Instructor, aren't you going to help Shayou? The person in charge knew what he was up to. Should he get rid of him?”
"No need. This is also a chance for Shayou to see the darkness of the Imperial City clearly. We'll attack when she's really in danger.”
"Alright, I think Sha You might have to suffer a little.”
"Suffering isn't scary, what's scary is not learning from your mistakes. Let me see how far Shayou can go.”
Sha You didn't know that someone was following her. She followed the person in charge to a house and the person in charge led her into the house.
When Sha You entered the residence, the door was tightly shut. Sha You was shocked, but she was not afraid. She waited patiently.
After waiting in the living room for a while, the person-in-charge appeared again and said with a smile," Young lady, I've already asked around for you. The other party is willing to promote your military position, but..."
"But what?" Sha You said anxiously. She did not realize that something was wrong at all. She had been muddled by this news.
" You know, it's not that easy to get promoted, so..." The person in charge made a gesture.
Sha You immediately understood. She wanted benefits. Her teacher had told her about this before, so she took out her money bag without saying anything and said,"I'll have to trouble you to pass this money to that lord. Just say that I'm paying tribute to him.”
"Good, very good. You're very sensible. Wait here for a while. I'll make arrangements for you.”
"Thank you!" Shayou revealed a happy expression and laughed out loud, causing Prynne and Cornelia, who were observing from outside, to shake their heads.
Come on, use your brain. If you didn't notice such an obvious trap, Prynne could only sigh at Shayou's lack of experience.
Those who had some experience would more or less be wary and detect something amiss. However, Shayou completely believed the other party. She was really too easy to deceive.
"That's great. As long as I get a military post, I can send money to the village. At that time, everyone's lives will change.”
As soon as the person-in-charge left, Sha You happily muttered to herself, completely unaware that she had been deceived.
When the person-in-charge returned, he brought her 'good news'."I've already helped you settle it. The other party is very satisfied with your performance. It's getting late, so I ordered someone to prepare some food. Let's eat together.”
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Sha You thanked him sincerely and was extremely excited.
"It's a small matter. The other party wants me to take good care of you. When the time comes, you have to put in a good word for me in front of that lord.”
"No problem!" Shayou agreed readily and went to eat with the person-in-charge.
"Instructor, it's a pity that guy didn't become an actor.”Outside the window, Cornelia, who had seen everything, said emotionally.
"I was just about to say that. His acting skills are comparable to the best actor!”
