Count of Wizards

In short, if the purpose of Christant's doing this is really to kill himself, then in Connor's eyes, his behavior is purely taking off his pants and farting!

As the intelligence director of the Black organization and the largest intelligence leader of the Church of the Storm, would Christante do such an unnecessary thing?

The answer is most likely no!

So Christant forced himself to come to Ipurua, and the purpose of setting up such a situation for himself should not be to kill himself!

So what exactly is he trying to do?

For the answer to this question, Connor was a little puzzled, but what is even worse now is that Connor doesn't have much time now, and now he is less than 100 days away from the seven-day deadline given to him by Christante. Forty-eight hours!

Looking at the hands on the pocket watch, which kept running, Connor barely restrained the urge to swear, he must hurry up from now on!

Taking a deep breath, Connor put on his windbreaker and walked out of this small hotel called "Morata Tourist House". All the evidence and clues he has now can only prove that Christant asked him to kill Lu His matter was a well-designed bureau, but he couldn't prove what the bureau was. Obviously, it was impossible for Connor to step his foot into it without knowing how deep the water was, so Kang Na must do his best within forty-eight hours, what kind of tricks will Christante play with him again!

Connor, who walked out of the hotel, came back to the Redstone Pawn Shop where Ruiz was located under the cover of night, but because it was late at night and the Marcelo Department Store was closed, Connor did not go to him during the day. The location of the first window when observing, but directly came to the roof of the Marcelo Department Store.

Condescendingly looking down at the Redstone Pawn Shop, Connor took out his compass from the space ring, and then played a spell towards the compass. Change... A minute later, Connor, who had a panoramic view of the situation presented on the compass, put the compass back into the space ring with a sullen face.

What Connor thought in the "Morata Tourist's Home" just now was correct. According to the compass, there is some kind of magic circle hidden in the small two-story building of the Redstone Pawn Shop, and according to Connor's alchemy According to the master's experience, the magic circle hidden in the redstone pawn shop is not a powerful offensive formation, but more like a trap formation. This is also faintly and indirectly confirmed. His purpose is not as simple as simply killing himself!

After contemplating for a while, Connor's mental power locked onto Ruiz in the manager's room of the Redstone Pawnshop. At this time, Ruiz was the only one in the manager's room. Yes, the young and beautiful secretary was gone.

Ruiz, who was alone in the manager's office, did not cultivate or do other things related to the extraordinary world. He seemed to be reading a book called "Redstone Pawnshop's Second Quarter Business Report". document.

Because the commerce of the Kaman Empire is the most developed among the many countries in the Byzantine continent, in order to avoid the large-scale transfer of farmers to industry and commerce under the temptation of money interests, resulting in no one farming the land, the Kaman Empire has been developing for nearly ten years. The agricultural tax rate is very low, and even in many areas, it is just a symbolic collection. This is done to allow farmers to obtain more benefits so that they can stay on the land and prevent food shortages caused by no one farming the land.

For any country on the Byzantine continent, taxes and fees are an important part of their finances, even the main source, and the Kaman Empire is no exception. In order to ensure food supply, most of the citizens of the Kaman Empire There is food to eat, so the agricultural tax rate for farmers is already very low. In this case, in order to ensure that the empire’s finances do not run short, the difference in the agricultural tax must be made up from the commercial tax.

Therefore, in the tax department of the Kaman Empire, the supervision of commercial taxes paid by shops, factories, and enterprises is very strict and meticulous, and the punishment is also very severe. In order to prevent merchants from evading taxes, the tax department of the Kaman Empire requires all shops, factories, and enterprises with a quarterly turnover of more than 300 gold pounds to prepare a "Quarterly Business Report" and submit it to the local tax department for inspection and review.

It is now the beginning of July, and in a few days it will be time to submit the "Second Quarter Business Report" to the local tax department at the beginning of the month. No matter how you look at the quarterly turnover of Ruiz's Redstone Pawnshop, it has exceeded Three hundred gold pounds, so Ruiz, the owner of the pawn shop, is also a very normal thing to check the "Quarterly Business Report" of his pawn shop.

Although Ruiz's behavior was normal, out of curiosity, Connor concentrated his energy and also checked the document in Ruiz's hand called "Redstone Pawnshop November Business Report". But to his disappointment, this document did not contain some secrets that interested him as he had imagined.

The content of the report is no different from the business report of a general pawn shop. It contains some business strategies, how much cash is in the account, how to control the salary cost of employees, and how much collateral in the pawn shop will pass the current period. , how many pawns are currently in the pawn shop, and how much is the total value...

Just when Connor was very disappointed with the content of the "Redstone Pawnshop's Second Quarter Business Report" and was about to withdraw his mental power from the report, Connor discovered some clues. Although the contents of the business report It was normal, but Ruiz, who was browsing the report at this time, had a very serious expression on his face. Not only that, the way he looked at the report seemed a little flustered and apprehensive to Connor.

This discovery immediately shocked Connor. He felt that he seemed to have touched the truth. Connor immediately cheered up and browsed the report again. He felt that the answer he was looking for should be hidden in this report book.

"In the pawn shop, there are currently three hundred and sixty-two gold pounds, seven shillings and eight pence in cash, the fixed expenditure in the second quarter is one hundred gold pounds, and the total employee salaries are fifty-five gold pounds, five shillings and six pence... ···”

"At present in the pawn shop there are three land deeds worth seventy-three gold pounds in total, five house deeds worth a hundred gold pounds in total, fourteen pieces of jewelry worth twenty-seven gold pounds and six shillings in total, and eight antique weapons worth a total of one hundred gold pounds." A total of twenty-four gold pounds . . . ”
