Wizard Count

"Mister Connor, please come in, the master tells you to wait for him in his study!" Before Connor opened his mouth, the steward dressed old man was the first to speak:

"Master?" Connor stunned. In his memory, his mentor Reyes had always been alone, living here alone, when did an extra steward come out?

It seems that I saw Connor’s question. This old steward slightly smiled and explained: "My name is Victor. I’m the professor’s steward. I just came here from the professor’s home a few days ago, Mister Connor. Just call me old Victor!"

"so that's how it is, Steward Victor!" Connor politely nodded thanks, and then walked to the second floor of the villa, Reyes' study.

Connor is no stranger to Reyes's study. In his memory, Reyes often teaches himself in the study.

The study door opened, standing on the gorgeous carpet, Connor smelled a faint scent, and a touch of envy flashed in his eyes. Connor focused his gaze on the wooden three in the room. Large bookshelves and desks.

The wood surface of desks and bookshelves has a very beautiful golden texture that resembles tabby. This is a unique symbol and characteristic of the precious and unusual wood Tabby. Tabby wood is not grown in the Kaman Empire, but only in the new continent. Only a small amount of planting was found in the colonies of the Empire of God. In addition to the small planting, it takes a full 100 years for this kind of tabby wood to become a material before it can be used as furniture.

Tabby wood is expensive not only because its texture is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but also because it emits a unique fragrance. If people smell this fragrance, they will It has the effect of rest and nourishment, calming irritability.

Currently on the Ruen market, the price of one cubic meter of tabby wood is only more than five hundred golden pound. That's why there is still no market. As long as the tabby wood enters the market, it will be lost in less than an hour. People bought it. And the three large bookshelves and desks in Professor Reyes’s room cost at least 5,000 golden pound according to Connor's estimate. Browsing the furnishings in the room, a book with a little yellowish on the shelf is illuminated by the orange red light of the study’s gas lamp, giving the whole room a very sensation. On the desk, there is a bottle with no label. Bright red wine and a book of notes spread out.

Connor looked at this notebook with great interest. In his impression, his tutor, Professor Reyes, seemed to have a habit of taking notes.

The note paper is rough and mixed with some small black dots. At first glance, it is low-priced inferior paper. Observing this, Connor is more and more interested in this unfolded note. Professor Reyes is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life. The paper he uses is all smooth and white special high-end paper that is one penny. Professor Reyes will never use such inferior paper!

Obviously, various clues indicate that this note on Professor Reyes’s desk is not Professor Reyes’s own.

Who would this notebook belong to?

A hesitation flashed in Connor's eyes, his heart was struggling, do you want to get up from the sofa and look at the contents of that notebook! Maybe that notebook will have the background of my own mysterious and powerful mentor.

Glancing at the closed door, Connor made a choice, got up quickly, and approached the desk.

It can be seen that the text on the note is the Kaman text commonly used in the Kaman Empire, but the handwriting is very scribble. The writing of the text can be described as ugly once, which further supports Connor’s judgment. Professor Reyes, who holds an Academician degree from Renford University, a famous university in the empire, would never write such words.

"On July 13, Sir Mountbatten had a tryst with his lover Eva at Leganes Hotel at 119 Narcissus Street."

"September 21, Wealthy Merchant Wilbeka’s wife, Mrs. Annek, secretly lent her younger brother 500 golden pounds to repay gambling debts."

"November 8th, the municipal tax commissioner Mr. Reis accepted, timber merchant Garley bribed fifty golden pound to help Garley evade taxes."

·············

·· ··········

"Fuck, this is all someone else's handle?" Reluctant to read the contents of the note clearly, Connor secretly cry out in surprise:

Looking at the scribbled handwriting on the notes, Connor vaguely felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but his classmates, friends, family...etc. didn't have such a bad font.

"Valverde!" The name of a dead person suddenly appeared in Connor's mind!

"Yes, this is Valverde's handwriting!" Realizing this, Connor's face sank instantly. Now the handwriting of this notebook lying on Professor Reyes's desk, and Valverde's His handwriting on Rebecca's investigation report is completely consistent! Connor can confirm this without using auxiliary chips!

"Why did Valverde's notes appear on Reyes' desk? Is there anything of his own in Valverde's notes?"

These two questions are like two heavy mountains , Connor was a little out of breath, but before Connor could think about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the study.

"Step! Step! Step!"

Hearing this footstep, Connor quickly retreated back to the sofa without thinking.

"Da!"

With a muffled sound, the door of the study was opened, and an extraordinary middle-aged man walked in.

"teacher!" Although there was a lot of doubt, when seeing Professor Reyes, Connor could only pretend that nothing happened, and stood up respectfully to say hello.

I took a look at Connor, Reyes showed a meaningful smile on his face, he patted Connor's shoulder and said, "It's only a few days since Connor, you gave me a surprise. You really deserve to be me. The most valued student!"

"Surprise? What kind of surprise?" Although I don’t know what the surprise Reyes said he gave him, Connor still pretended to be grateful. , Said respectfully: "It's Connor's honor to get your mentor's attention!"

Satisfied nodded, Reyes walked back to the back of the desk, he pondered for a moment, and opened the notes on the desk. Close it, then smiled and handed it to Connor, "This thing serves as Connor. You become a primary level apprentice and formally walk into the gift of the wizard world, right?"
