Chapter 171: Obtaining Evidence
The middle-aged man with a small beard was not angry at all, but said with a light smile: "Then the laws of the empire do not clearly stipulate that it is not allowed?"
Dylan laughed angrily at him: "According to what you say, can I go to your viscount's head for convenience? Anyway, the laws of the empire don't stipulate it!"
The bearded man's face sank, and the warriors behind him were already scolding angrily.
"Bastard boy, dare to insult Lord Roosevelt, don't you want to live?"
"See if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
Dylan beckoned to the dozen or so fighters: "Come on, come on, you guys go up together, see how long you can hold on to my hands!"
The mustachioed man stretched out his hand to stop the dozen or so fighters behind him, and said to Dylan with a smile: "Before I can introduce myself, my name is Victor Fili, and I am a subordinate of Lord Roosevelt, and I am currently in charge of this vein." ”
Dylan sneered, "Above the boundaries of our North Wind City, take care of the ore veins?"
Victor smiled at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were full of indifference, and Dylan took it all in.
"Speaking of which, your City of the North Wind is also under the jurisdiction of Lord Roosevelt, and the same is true of this Gaya Mountain. We're mining veins here, do you have any questions?" said Victorpi with a non-smirk.
Dylan's expression was as usual, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant: "Do you still know that this is the boundary of the North Wind City?, then according to the laws of the Empire, you should share the veins with us, instead of taking them for yourself." ”
Victor obviously lost his patience, and his smile gradually disappeared: "Dylan, you have to think clearly, your father is just a baron, and he can't fight against Lord Roosevelt!"
Dylan was really going to laugh at the ignorance of this guy in front of him, who didn't even know about the glory that Orwind Green had achieved?
"Why, don't you continue to pretend? can't help but show your true face so soon? Sure enough, it's hypocritical!" Dylan's face was full of disdain and mockery.
The murderous intent in Victor's eyes was exposed: "Little guy, you are really tough enough! Aren't you afraid of ......?"
Before the guy could finish speaking, Dylan had already disappeared in place.
Victor was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he turned to the dozen or so fighters behind him and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze! This little bastard has sneaked in! Go and get him out for me!"
The dozen or so warriors hurriedly ran towards the mountain in a panic.
After Dylan used "Flash", he immediately picked up "Vanish", and kept shuttling through the woods, groping his way into the mountains.
It didn't take long for Dylan to reach the halfway point of the mountain, and came to a large open field, where it was crowded with hundreds of miners in tattered clothes, who were carrying ore with their heads down.
However, when Dylan saw the color of the ore in their hands, he was instantly stunned.
What kind of black iron ore is this, it's clearly a shadow magic stone!
Dylan never imagined that in this Gaya Mountain, there was such a large vein of shadow magic stones!
"What do they want to do?" Dylan couldn't understand at all, because according to the laws of the Empire, once a vein of Shadow Demon Stone was discovered, everyone was not allowed to hide it, and it had to be reported to the Empire.
However, looking at the current situation, the one who is mining the Shadow Demon Stone Vein is not the Empire's regular survey team at all.
Soon, Victor arrived with a dozen warriors, but they searched around for a long time, but still did not find Dylan.
"Find him! I must find him today!" Victor's voice was low, but his anger was clearly felt.
If Dylan publicized it, it is estimated that Viscount Roosevelt would face heavy punishment from the Empire.
Dylan used the cover of "disappearing" to soon come to a wooden house, only to see that although the room was not large, it was luxuriously furnished and had all kinds of furniture.
The most conspicuous feature is a long, intricately carved wooden table with a large amount of paper on it. There was even a stone sculpture carved out of Shadow Magic Stone.
Dylan took a closer look and found that the papers were densely filled with the weight of the magic stones mined every day, and dozens of blank sheets of paper had been written.
Dylan didn't even think about it, so he just put all those accounts into his arms. This is evidence that they are secretly mining the Shadow Stone!
With this evidence in hand, Dylan exited the cabin and headed down the hill.
It's just that when Dylan left the cabin, he accidentally touched the wooden door, and suddenly made a "squeak" sound.
Victor was not far away, at this time he heard the sound of the door, turned his head to look, shouted to see that the door of the wooden house was open, and suddenly secretly shouted that it was not good, he hurriedly rushed to the wooden house, but saw that the accounts on the table had already been taken away, he beat his chest and was very angry: "Little bastard, I want to kill you!"
Dylan was far away, and when he heard Victor's angry scolding, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
Today, although he was not able to win the ownership of the veins, he got the evidence that Viscount Roosevelt secretly mined the veins of the Shadow Demon Stone without the Empire, which can be regarded as a big gain.
Dylan had also heard of Roosevelt's reputation, which was rumored to be extremely selfish, and every time the empire ordered a tax, he would throw most of the tax pressure on the small towns under his jurisdiction, such as the city of the north wind.
Roosevelt, on the other hand, has never paid a high tax on Riptide City, so he has always had a very good reputation in Rapids. Even if the Empire sent inspection officials sometimes, they would only see the admiration of the people of Riptide City for Roosevelt.
Dylan has always been extremely disgusted with these aristocrats who only eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, and play some tricks to fool the imperial officials, and now that Roosevelt's handle has fallen into Dylan's hands, then he doesn't want to have a good life.
It just so happened that the city of North Wind was facing the problem of paying taxes this time, and if he didn't knock Roosevelt hard, how could Dylan give up?
After descending the mountain, Dylan quickly returned to the City of the North Wind with the three forges.
Along the way, the three foundries kept asking how the negotiations went. The three of them thought that Dylan was going to reason with others, so how could they have thought that he would go in and steal a stack of accounting evidence?
In response to the inquiries of the three, Dylan has always laughed and remained silent.
"Now that I have evidence that you are secretly mining magic stones, am you afraid that you will not come to the door to negotiate yourself?" Dylan thought as he spoke, a smug smile on his lips.
