Chapter 164 State Subsidies
It was raining lightly in the town today, probably the last rain of the summer, and the crops planted by the townspeople seemed to be almost ripe, and even the vegetables in the backyard of the house were taken away by Kalibo.
It's autumn, and a lot of things, especially food, have to be prepared in advance, and if it's a few months later, the ice cellar at home will start to stock up on food for the winter...... I remember that the last winter when the avalanche collapsed, I had taken out all the food, and although Earl Hamil later sent some more, there was not much left after using it all winter.
So every autumn I keep buying some from outside......
Now that the town of Telemian has a trade market with Koga City, and with at least one or two fleets of goods arriving almost every day, it is much easier than ever to buy something.
Things are still going on at home, but Sean has been stuck thinking about the Viggle family.
On the day I came back from the cemetery, I searched the whole house to find out if there were any special clues. Every word from the notes of the previous Baron Vigel, or the corner of the room, go and look for it.
It's just a pity that nothing was found!
The previous generation of Baron Vigel didn't seem to have the habit of writing days, and the only notes he wrote down were to record the feelings of missing the girl he liked, that is, the mother of 'Sean', and the days recorded were those stories of pursuing her, and there were no more after that!
Well, Sean can still understand this.
Maybe at that time, the woman would clean up the room for Baron Vigel, so she wanted this clumsy way to let the other party know her mind, and if she didn't write it later, of course, the purpose had been achieved, so there was no need to continue writing......
"Sean, Sean......"
The thoughts were interrupted by a call from behind.
Back
It was Igonia who brought some snacks.
"Would ......you like something to eat? I just tried to make some snacks in the kitchen. "[hesitated!] at the door, and finally the bar plate was served.
It's true that Igonia is a little witch, but that doesn't mean that all witches can make things.
"You made this?" looked at the strange shape on the plate.
The appearance is not good, but the taste is still there!
"Hmm!"
Igonia nodded shyly.
"I just got some ingredients from the old butler and tried to make them, and they said you like sweet scones, but I think you'll like this flavor more......" handed over the plate.
In fact, compared to the smooth sugar heart of that kind of cheese, Sean's innate taste buds still like scones with meat and scallion oil.
It was probably in Koga City that Igonia saw that she liked it, so she made a copy, picked up a piece and tasted it.
The fat is just right, and the flavor is fragrant.
"It's delicious!"
Looking at Igonia with a smile.
"Really?"
"Hmm...... I just love the taste. As he spoke, he picked up another piece......
"Then you eat more!" simply put the plate on the table.
Suddenly, Igonia looked at the notes and books on the table......
"Are you still thinking about the murder of the previous Baron Vigel?" Everyone knew from the moment they saw the coffin that there must be something strange in it, but if you asked it carefully, it seemed that nothing had happened in the months before the death of the previous Baron Vigel.
He seemed to have been sick all the time and had been in bed for months, so the town seemed to be prepared for his death.
"Well, we have to look into it. ”
"Otherwise, I'll help you find out if there is any magic that can do that kind of damage when I go back later. Igonia hurriedly said.
"It may not be magic, and the world is so big...... You can't just look for the land on the basis that you can make it corrupt, it's hard to find. "It's like the answer to what pollutes water, there are dozens of things you can think of in a flash, and you can't determine the target with the soil alone.
Moreover, the transportation of this world is inconvenient, and it is impossible to go to all the places of suspicion......
The reason why Sean wants to find clues at home is that he wants to leave more evidence, so that he can determine the target. Who exactly wanted to murder the Viggle family, the only thing that could be thought of was the Sun Crown Wizard Organization related to the 'mother', but there were no other clues after looking through the entire family.
"What then?" asked Igonia hurriedly.
What to do......
Sean has no breakthrough point for the time being, but he didn't die in the assassination, so the other party may reappear, but it's been almost a year, and the other party has no intention of 'turning back', and the person left without confirming whether he died after doing things, which may also mean that he is not on the other party's list.
That's a little weird!
"Keep doing our thing, and we'll know if they come back. ”
"Hmm!" Igonia replied nodding without even thinking about it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the magic book next to the table, and suddenly remembered something to ask.
"Sean, I wanted to ask you before, who taught you magic, and why do you have a magic book?" As a wizard, Igonia of course knows that the magic book is the crystallization of a wizard over the years, and all the spells and magic props may be recorded in it, usually reserved for personal use or personal disciples.
"It was a wizard who came to town, and I made a deal with her in exchange for the opportunity to learn magic. ”
"You can learn magic just by trading?!!" Even Igonia was a little incredulous.
In fact, after walking out of Telemian, Sean also felt that it was difficult to understand why Lucille agreed to teach him magic in the first place, because in the end, he did not find any news of the Caine Slate.
As for the fact that he later said that he would contact her when he found the news in the future, it was even more nonsense, and he didn't know where she was and how to contact her......
So it looks like the deal was won by itself, and the other party didn't get any benefit.
"It's hard to describe the process, but in the end, the other party taught me magic ......"
"That's ......," Igonia wanted to ask, but the conversation stopped.
Outside the window is the sound of Luke and Esmerda arguing.
The two happy rivals quarrel almost every few days, mostly over some planning issues in the town...... It's really interesting to say that the two miss each other when they don't meet, and they actually quarrel again when they meet.
As for Claude's words, it was more boring, after staying in the town for more than ten days, he felt tired of playing and wanted to go back to the city to continue to look at the store, of course, Sean didn't keep him too much, just said a few words and went back with the caravan when the time came.
The days have been going on......
Sean still hasn't found any clues about his 'mother', nor has he found any clues left by the assassin of Baron Vigel at that time, because it snowed last year and many footprints have been forgotten in the heavy snow collapse, and many more people only remember the accident.
And such days become busier after the fall.
On this day, Luke and Esmeida suddenly arrived in the hall where they worked......
"My lord, the Empire's subsidy will come down in a few days, should we use this money to prune some of the orchards first, so that we can ......protect them in winter?"
On the other side, Esmeida said.
"My lord, I think this is the first year that we don't need to do too much protection, and we should screen out some of the weak trees, otherwise we will spend a lot of money here every year. ”
"In that case, we would have lost a lot today. ”
"This is more than what you can afford to lose later......"
The two actually quarreled again.
"That, Luke. You said this year's Imperial Grant is coming?!!"
"Yes, sir. It is delivered every year during this season. ”
