Zongman: Harem's Music

……

(In order to prevent some friends from not understanding the plot of Attack on Titan, I will recap it in the chapter before it is released. It will definitely take up a lot of space, please don't blame me!)

Chapter 45 Time waits for no one!

"Sir, here are the accounts you asked for!" A skinny old man hurried into the room and handed over a stack of account books.

Xigong Siyi took the account book and flipped through it.

Seven hundred and fifty thousand dong (the currency name inside the wall cannot be found, this book is dong yuan), this is the total wealth owned by Nishimiya Siyi excluding real estate.

Xigong Siyi put down the accounts and looked at the old man with a friendly expression: "Butler, how long have you been working in our family?"

"It has been thirty-eight years, sir!" The old butler, who had no idea why Xigong Siyi suddenly mentioned this, bowed slightly and seemed a little uneasy.

"Thirty-eight years?" Nishimiya Tsutomu nodded and asked, "Where does your family live?"

The old butler said truthfully, "In a village in the Lesia region of Rose Wall!"

Xigong Si smiled and said, "Judging from your age, your grandson must be quite old, right?"

"Yes!" Speaking of his grandson, the old man's face showed a touch of kindness and a bit of longing: "The last time my family wrote to me, they said he was already eight years old and I haven't had time to go back to see him!"

"Find some time to take it over!"

The old butler was stunned and a little bit unbelieving: "You mean..."

There is a strict hierarchy within the wall. The closer to the inside and the safer the place, the higher the status, position, wealth and average income of the people living there. Especially in the Wall of Sina, it is not possible to move inward at will. You can see this by looking at how many people in the original book tried hard to join the gendarmerie and get the opportunity to live in the interior (Wall of Sina).

However, if it is a noble within the Sina Wall who is recruiting servants, that is another matter!

"Well, they can move into the manor and work for me. I will pay them accordingly!" Nishimiya Tsutomu nodded, "But only after you help me finish a task!"

The old butler suppressed his joy and said, "Speak, sir!"

Xigong Siyi handed the account book to the old butler and said, "Leave 150,000 dong and use the rest to buy food!"

The old housekeeper was stunned: "Buy food?"

Nishimiya Tsune nodded and said, "That's right, buy food! And it has to be rice, corn, flour, things that can be stored for a long time. Buy it wherever it's cheapest, and take as much as you can get, until you have used up the 600,000 dong!"

"Sir, this..." The old butler was a little hesitant. Even if he had money, he couldn't do it like this!

It's no wonder he hesitated. Even in the outermost Maria region, where ordinary people had no food reserves, they wouldn't starve. Nobles and wealthy merchants all had food reserves, and the Nishimiya family was no exception. The food was more than enough for Nishimiya Siyi and several servants to eat for several years. There was no need to hoard food, especially in such huge quantities.

Xigong Siyi waved his hand: "Just do as I say. It's best to keep a low profile and don't let anyone notice!"

"Yes!" The old butler had no choice but to agree and turned around to do his work.

A year later, the people inside the wall will lose one-third of their territory, including the agricultural areas that mainly produce grain. At that time, a large number of refugees will flee from Wall Maria to Wall Rose. Due to the pressure of food not being able to meet the supply of the limited population, 250,000 people will be sent by the government to open up wasteland, and 99% of them will starve to death.

By then, whether to sell the grain purchased now to the government for money and profit, or give it to refugees for free to save the dying and the wounded and earn some reputation, all choices can be made according to Xigong Siyi's wishes. It can be said to be a business that is sure to make money!

Turning back, Xigong Siyi's eyes fell on the map again, "Time waits for no one, time waits for no one!"

He picked up the map and the crescent moon, turned and walked towards the door, and shouted, "Prepare the horses, I'm going on a long journey!"

……

"Sir, please at least take us with you!"

At the gate of the manor, three men were blocking and stopping Xigong Siyi, refusing to hand over the reins of the horse to Xigong Siyi.

Shit, time is running out, understand? What if my Mikasa is snatched away by that bastard Eren? Nishimiya Tsutomu was furious, "You don't want to do this anymore, do you?"

The leading guard, Sidon, said sternly, "Sir, unless you fire me right now, I will never let you go to Wall Maria alone!"

Seeing the guards so loyal, Xigong Siyi sighed: "Well, come with me!"

"Okay!" Seeing that Xigong Siyi had changed his mind, Sidon nodded heavily and turned to look at the other two guards, Frey and Hiso, "I will go with the adults, you guys take care of the manor!"

"Do not worry!"

"Take good care of the adults!"

Xidon nodded, jumped onto his horse, and extended his right hand to Xigong Siyi, "Sir!"

"..." As he imagined the scene of riding a horse with Sidon and being held in his arms and constantly bumping around, Xigong Siyi's face was full of disgust.

Seeing that Xigong Siyi didn't respond, Xiton looked puzzled: "Sir?"

After being disgusted, Nishimiya Siyi discovered another embarrassing thing. It seems that he can't ride a horse...

"Let's prepare the carriage!"

……

Chapter 46 A delaying tactic!

The early winter sun hung high in the sky, yet it brought little warmth to the earth. Outside the south gate of the royal city, a small convoy consisting of a carriage and a single mounted guard steadily distanced itself from the city...

The horseshoes hit the ground, the wheels rolled and turned, and the shaking in the carriage was very slight, just like flat ground!

Nishimiya Tsukasa looked at the map spread out on the coffee table and marked the departure and destination with a feather pen.

The starting point, the Central Royal City, is located in the center of the three walls. The straight-line distance from the Royal City to any of the cities used for entry and exit of the Sina Wall is about 250 kilometers, and from the Sina Wall to the Rose Wall is 130 kilometers. From the Rose Wall to the destination - the Maria Wall Xikenxia area is about 100 kilometers!

In short, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi almost walked the entire 480-kilometer radius of the world within the wall...

In the world of "Attack on Titan," the technology tree within its walls is skewed... Compressed natural gas-powered "Three-Dimensional Maneuvering Gear" allows humans to traverse obstacles with great speed and agility, and hunt Titans with cold weapons. However, firearms remain limited to flintlock rifles and gunpowder cannons. Because there are no steam engines, there are no ships or cars. Transportation consists of improved, robust horses capable of reaching speeds of 75-80 km/h, and carriages equipped with shock absorbers, averaging 20 km/h.

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was riding in this kind of carriage. Assuming that the horse was not allowed to rest and it ran non-stop for 24 hours, it would take exactly one day. This assumption is obviously not true, so we need to exclude the time for slowing down and resting. A conservative estimate is about three days, not counting the time to reach the approximate location and find the specific location!

Nishimiya Tsukasa tossed his quill into the inkwell and frowned slightly. "I didn't have much of an idea when I watched the anime... but now that I'm here, I realize how unexpectedly vast it is!"

"Sir, why are you so anxious to go to a remote area like Xikenxia? Also, the clothes you are wearing today are very strange, and the weapon is also very strange..." Siddon, who was driving the carriage, came to the box curtain and asked.

The weapon naturally refers to the crescent-shaped katana. It seems that there is no such thing as a katana in this world, but the social culture should be a hodgepodge. After all, it is a fictional world created by modern people, and the clothing aspects will inevitably incorporate the author's aesthetic views as a modern person. Although Nishimiya Tsuyoshi dressed in modern clothes is not out of place, he is also very special!

"Why do you have so many questions?" Xigong Siyi glared at him. Do I have to tell you if I go to steal your wife?

"But you reminded me that if we come across a town, we should stop there so I can buy two sets of clothes and, oh, two horses!"

It only takes a few days to learn how to ride a horse. Not to mention how high your riding skills are, basic operations are enough. The horse's average speed of 40km/h will definitely increase the overall speed by a level, and at worst it can shorten the time by 1/3.

Sidon responded, "Oh!"

"Hisso!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi called out as he opened the carriage window.

"Yu~" Hiso, who was riding alone, slowed down his horse until it was parallel to the carriage and said, "Sir, your orders!"

"The carriage is too slow. You should go ahead and get to the Weng City of Shikensha in Wall Maria as quickly as possible. Once there, find a few patients with difficult and complicated illnesses, and then take them to see a doctor named Grisha Yeager..."

Nishimiya Siyi gave instructions, handing over a heavy purse from the window. "Here are your travel expenses and consultation fees. Your mission is simple: use this patient to hold Grisha Yeager back. Don't let him leave Weng City for a month! Don't ask why. Once you're done, return directly to the Royal City. I have a generous reward. Go!"

"..." No matter how confused Hiso was, Nishimiya Siyi had already made it clear and did not allow him to ask. Thinking that Nishimiya Siyi had Sidon to protect him and the generous reward promised by Nishimiya Siyi, Hiso took the purse and left at full speed!

Listening to the sound of galloping horses gradually fading away, Nishimiya Siyi once again turned his gaze to the map and remained silent for a long time.

In order to get ahead of Eren, he has put a lot of effort into it. In the original work, Eren and Mikasa met because Eren's father went to Mikasa's house for a medical consultation... In other words, instead of racing against the plot stupidly, it might be more efficient to disrupt the plot and use the patient to restrict the actions of Eren's father!

"I hope it's not in vain!" Nishimiya Siyi murmured, leaning back in the car seat and closing his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered that the system had mentioned that the content of [Exchange in This World] had been updated, so he used his consciousness to open the system's operating interface!

There is a next page in the lower right corner of the page of "A Silent Voice + Boring Girlfriend... Comprehensive World". After clicking it, you will enter the page representing "Attack on Titan".

From here, you can find "Attack on Titan" including abilities, skills, bloodlines, weapons, items, and even characters, etc., for Nishimiya Tsugumi to redeem...

Just flipping through it, you can find cheap items like [a bottle of water] and [compressed biscuits], common items like [three-dimensional maneuvering device] and [super-hard steel blades], and expensive items like [Eldian royal bloodline] and [Ackerman bloodline], nine [giant powers], etc. ... everything is available!

It feels like I was shopping on Taobao and JD.com in my previous life... Basically, it's like: there are so many things I want... I'm so poor!

……

Chapter 47 Heading South!

About two hours later, Nishimiya Tsutomu passed through a small town.

Although it was a small town, it was a small town within the Wall of Sina after all, and its prosperity was somewhat beyond Nishimiya Jiichi's expectations.

It was the prime time of nine or ten in the morning, and the streets were bustling with people of all kinds. In an exquisitely decorated clothing store...

"Sir, you are so handsome. I wonder how many girls will be charmed by you when you grow up!" The wealthy boss was complimenting Xigong Siyi with a flattering look on his face.

She took off her modern jacket and sneakers and changed into a knee-length black windbreaker and black riding boots. She wore the remaining white T-shirt and black slim-fit pants, along with her pink-brown (the color of her hair is so unique, I can't find an accurate adjective for it) hair...

Looking at himself in the mirror, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was very satisfied.

I’m just a little too young, only eleven years old. Well, I’m really looking forward to seeing myself grow up!

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi adjusted his hair pretentiously, then took a dark red scarf from the shop owner and wrapped it around his neck. "Thanks for your good wishes, check out!"

The shop owner said, "The coat, the riding boots, the scarf, and the other two sets of clothes together, the total is 760 guilders!"

After settling the bill, Nishimiya Siyi took Xiton straight to the town's horse farm, sold the carriage, and bought a Jianma equipped with riding gear...

The advanced learning of innate skills brought Nishimiya Jiyi's learning ability to be once again demonstrated in learning horse riding. Ordinary people need 10 to 20 saddle hours (the time sitting on the saddle), but Nishimiya Jiyi basically mastered it in just four hours!

There is no problem with just ordinary riding without any difficult moves, so Xigong Siyi set off again with Xiton!

After galloping all the way, at dusk, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi arrived at the Alumiha District, the Weng City in the south of the Sina Wall. He replaced his old horse with a new one and continued south at full speed...

After a night of non-stop work, at dawn, Xigong Siyi arrived at the city of Weng in the south of Wall Rose - the Trost District!

That is the place in the original work where the Colossal Titan appeared for the second time, Eren transformed into a Titan for the first time, and used huge stones to fill the wall gate destroyed by the Colossal Titan!

To save time, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, leveraging his status as a viscount, exchanged horses with the Troost District garrison and continued southward...

……

It was noon, in the Xikenxia area of ​​Wengcheng, south of Wall Maria!

Boom boom boom!

"Dr. Yeager, is Dr. Yeager here?" A middle-aged man with a worried look knocked on the door of the Yeager family's house.

Behind him, two people were carrying a stretcher carrying a dying woman with a face as pale as wax.

With Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's order and money, he went ahead and arrived at Hiso in the Shikenxia District half a day earlier than Nishimiya Tsuyoshi. He found a patient according to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's instructions and then hurried to Jaeger's residence.

squeak~

The wooden door was opened from the inside. Standing behind the door was a middle-aged man wearing round-framed glasses and a black top hat, who seemed ready to go out. "You are..."

Hisoka took a half step forward and asked tentatively, "Is that Dr. Grisha Yeager?"

Grisha Yeager nodded: "I am!"

Great! I found the right one. Now I just need to follow the adults’ instructions! Hiso was delighted. “We are here to treat the disease!”

The middle-aged man knocking on the door begged, "Please save my wife!"

Hiso added, "Don't worry about the consultation fees. I will pay for them!"

Grisha Yeager frowned. The man offering to pay was dressed like a nobleman's guard, a flintlock rifle slung across his back. There was no sign of urgency between his brows. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man begging him was dressed simply... This combination was a bit strange...

However, when he set his sights on the woman on the stretcher, his doubts were overcome by the compassion of a doctor... This woman had already reached the point of exhaustion and could no longer support herself. "Please bring the patient in!"

The group was able to enter the Jaeger household. It was not much different from most homes in the Wall Maria area, with a small space and simple, old wooden furniture...

"Alan, Alan!"

Grisha Yeager shouted twice towards the stairs leading to the second floor, and soon a child about ten years old came down.

Grisha Yeager ordered, "We're not going to Ackerman's house today. Go play with Armin!"

"What? You urged me so much just now, but suddenly you don't want to go anymore!" Alan muttered dissatisfiedly, then turned around and walked back to the second floor!

Hisoka glanced at Allen but didn't pay much attention to him. He had no idea that this inconspicuous child was actually the real purpose of Nishimiya Tsuyoshi letting him go ahead!

In this way, Grisha Yeager and his wife, who was half his assistant, began to busy themselves with diagnosis and treatment...

…To be continued…

Chapter 48 The rain at that time!

Da Da Da~

At around 2:5 PM, two Jian horses galloped across the plains between Wall Rose and Wall Maria.

There is no afterglow of the sun at dusk today, and dark clouds are gathering in the sky... A cold rain is coming!

Hiso, who was hanging behind Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, shouted, "Sir, it looks like it's going to rain. We have nothing to shelter from the rain. Let's find a village to take shelter!"

rain!

Yes, the original plot took place in a cold rain... I just don't know if this rain is the same rain...

"yu~"
