Chapter 45 Entrustment
As soon as the current president of the student council of St. Phelan College, Rectalan Ramier, returned to the college town and briefly spoke with Roshik Carion, asking him to hand over the security of St. Phelan to the security forces of the Order.
Then Rektaran went straight to the Midland Bank near the academy (Note 1), and some of the things he had commissioned to investigate a long time ago should now have results.
As soon as Ryktaran entered the bank's door, he was led directly to the bank president's office.
A service girl handed them tea, then went out and closed the door tightly.
The president of the Midland bank was Alpington, a man in his thirties, with a burly figure and dark skin. This one looks more like a martial artist than a businessman with an abacus.
The burly bank president was respectful to Rektaran, and he shouted, "Young Master......"
Ryktaran shook his head slightly, and he said, "Mr. Alpington." There are no young masters in College City, only Rektaran Ramiel. Immediately, he smiled and said, "There are so many real noble young masters in this St. Philan Academy, if you call me young master, it will make people laugh if it spreads." ”
Alpington immediately changed his words: "Mr. Ramiel, all the information you need is ready. ”
Alpington stood up, pulling out two files from a drawer on the table behind him.
Rektaran took the file and said, "The most detailed description of Harold Vasa in the academy's archives is that he was born in the northern part of the Salga Empire. The rest is blurry, did you find any interesting information by going through the two files? ”
Alpington smiled and said, "Less..... Mr. Ramiel, you said that this man did dig a lot of interesting things. Personally, I think it's something very valuable to us. Moreover, another dossier is another person with a deep connection to Harold Vasaki's person, and it is also the key to its value. ”
"Oh?" Rektaran raised an eyebrow. "Then let me see what is interesting about Harold Vasa first."
Rektaran picked up a pencil, ready to mark what might be useful later.
He looked at the file and read softly: "A person from the northern provinces of the Salga Empire, who served as an attendant to a veteran adventurer before coming to the Academy City. ”
"This person is admitted with property qualifications. In gold coins, Harold Vassa's account had a total property worth 1,178 gold coins at the time of enrollment. Far more than the academy's property requirement of eight hundred gold coins. ”
Ryktaran paused, and he remembered how Lilina had described Harold's personal financial hardship to herself, asking her to give Harold Vasa a grant.
However, he only paused slightly, and continued reading: "The column of Harold's admission guardian is filled in by the chief adviser of the arsenal of the Knights of Discipline. ”
"The above is the normal part, the most notable is that the gold in Harold Vasa's personal account was cleared after a year. All the funds worth 1,178 gold coins were transferred out, and Harold Vasa had deposited more than 600 gold coins in the past year. ”
"In other words, Harold Vasa transferred more than 1,800 gold coins to the outside world in one year's time."
Reading this, Rektaran sighed slightly: "What a considerable amount of money, 1,800 gold coins are enough to buy six merchant ships, plus two years' salaries for the crew." ”
Alpington chuckled: "Isn't Mr. Ramil curious where he has transferred all his money?" ”
"Curiosity, naturally curiosity."
Rektaran went on to read: "Harold Vasa transferred all his money to the Elma National Bank. ”
Reading this, Rektaran raised his head: "Elma people, the people in the north of the Salga Empire are good at business, and their business ambitions are not small. No, maybe their ambitions aren't just commercial. ”
"That's right, their business tentacles have come from the north to the south, step by step to the south of the mainland. As for the rest, it is not yet certain. ”
Now that the file had been read, Ryktaran picked up another file on the table.
"Is it possible to see the puzzling parts of Harold Vasa at a glance after reading another file?"
Alpington smiled meaningfully.
Rektaran opened the second file: "Lanna Dark. His father is an Elma and his mother is an orc woman. He graduated from the College of St. Philan in 1128. ”
Seeing this, Rektaran said softly, "It turned out to be an alumnus." ”
Then he continued: "Harold Vasa was employed by Lanna Dalke before he came to College City. ”
Rektaran immediately came to his senses, and he didn't delay any longer, and went through the entire file in one go.
Then Rektaran let out a sigh of relief, and he straightened the cuffs with his fingers: "Interesting, so interesting!" ”
Rektaran continued, "It was a surprise to learn about Harold Vasa's background, it was like a divine decree. Mr. Pilpington, our luck has finally come. Champagne please! ”
Half an hour later, Ryktaran, who had walked out of the gate of Midland Bank, was slowly walking around the academy.
The icy winter wind shaved off the dead branches and leaves like a razor, and the academy was a bleak scene.
The wind blew a dead leaf and fell on top of Rektaran's head, and he looked up at the gray sky and thought to himself, "It looks like the first snow of the year has fallen tonight." ”
"President Ramier!"
Behind him, a girl's shout was heard.
Rektaran turned around, and the girl with blond hair and golden eyes was running towards him.
Running up to Rektaran, Lilina panted and said, "Chief, you walked so fast that I almost didn't stop you?" ”
Rektaran asked, "Oh? Allison, you are in such a hurry, is there something urgent going on! ”
Lilina immediately said, "Big thing, big thing. That stupid senior of mine is causing trouble again. ”
"Stupid senpai?"
Lilina explained, "The stupid senior is Harold Vasa's senior, and the president knows that I'm in a relationship with him now, right?!" ”
Rektaran stared into Lilina's eyes, "What's the trouble he's in?" I can help you out. ”
"Huh?!" Lilina was a little surprised. "President? Haven't you always figured things out before you come to conclusions? ”
Ryktaran's head tilted slightly, and he said, "Tell me, I'm sure Lilina can tell what kind of things need to be solved by me, and I have the ability to solve them. ”
Lilina briefed Rektaran about the matter.
“..... The seniors are gone, and I guess the seniors are too short on money, and they may have run out of the city to do tasks in the Adventurers' Guild. Well, as for being involved in a certain security incident, can you help solve it, president? ”
Rektaran smiled lightly, and he said, "Naturally, you can. ”
"That's great, you're really my boss! Well, in order to repay the president, I will go back to work. Lilina raised her arms above her head, then lowered.
Lilina was afraid that Rektaran would ask for something else, or ask her how things were going.
So Lilina immediately turned her head and ran away.
Rektaran watched Lilina's back go away, and he gently patted the dead leaves off his head with his hand.
"It's really getting cold." With a slight sigh, Rektaran turned and walked out of the academy gates, heading towards the academy city's general security office.
