Chapter 304: Relatives
Because the material I threw out one day was very powerful, the speech was very successful, and attracted countless eyeballs, and the next day, there were countless applicants in my big industrial party headquarters, and it was obviously impossible to instantly become the top organization of the Cloud Tower!
Reality is often the exact opposite of what was expected, and even if the advertisements have been flying, perhaps because the mage was as cautious as ever, or simply because the notoriety of the past was too impressive, there were still zero applicants yesterday afternoon.
There is one more active door-to-door, undesirable, additional active supervisor
"I'll take a good look at you!"
Don't get me wrong, this is not a confession, but a righteous cry from the police against the suspect, who decides to bring the sinner to justice at all costs......
As a result, the big industrial party, which has few members, has an extra resident internal inspector, which is a treatment only available in large organizations with more than 1,000 people, but as an affiliated organization of the arcane blade, we simply cannot refuse the permanent presence of discipline inspectors sent by the headquarters.
And now the mage is organizing the Big Industrial Party, okay, I know it's awkward, well, all the industries under the command of this organization are in this Thorn Garden, so she has nothing to do and checks the accounts every day, so how can that!
As a qualified (then destined not to be very legal) businessman with the goal of chasing profits, there must be at least three copies of the account book or something, one is to pay taxes for people to check, one is for himself to see, and one is for forced to take out and abandon the car to protect the car.
According to the laws of the Mage Country, the Mage Country can take a tenth of the tax on any transaction within the country. This is not a light tax. In general, private transactions will also be very careful to avoid taxes. Our fake accounts are also doing well, but
"What? She took the shipment list of the workshop and checked the inventory, and directly checked the quantity that was not in the warehouse to be considered a sale? This is completely out of line with the most basic tax regulations. ”
"Do you think it's legal and compliant to make false accounts?"
"Of course, are there any businessmen in this world who don't make fake accounts?!"
"At least the merchants of the royal family don't have to."
Heloise thought for a while, but in the end she couldn't remember that in her long life, there was a businessman who didn't make false accounts, and finally, hesitantly said her memories. At least when she was a princess, the vassal merchants of the royal family seemed to be very honest.
"That's because they don't have to pay taxes at all! The tax will also go into their purse as a subsidy! ”
My roar echoed in the room, no matter what the world, state-owned enterprises and official backgrounds are good ways to make money, and the advantages in taxes, financing, and credit are definitely not comparable to independent private enterprises.
But that's not the point
"There are 12 kinds of commodities that are not on the tax declaration list, and there are at least 400 transactions that are not recorded in the ledger, and in less than a week, more than 50,000 gold coins have been evaded in taxes. Just looking at the flaws on paper, I suspect that he was born into a business family. ”
See the 52,452 gold coin outstanding on that table. There are more than 20,000 expected fines, and my heart is dripping blood, which is all my hard-earned money (big mistake)
"Hmph, is this a round of boasting about your inspection ability?"
This is a world-leading fake account technology, but unfortunately, it was still exposed, I knew that she would go crazy to check the warehouse, and I counted points one by one for a whole day, I should have turned my face a long time ago and didn't let her enter the door.
"No, I'm telling you the truth, your bill is simple, but the math skills in it are far beyond the level of ordinary mages, and I doubt that you are a professional counterfeiter. That's why I'm going to have to take an unconventional approach to find out about your problem. ”
"In other words, it's not because 'I'll check you if you have a problem,' but 'because you definitely have a problem, so I'm going to investigate to the end no matter what', you know, you've violated the most basic code of conduct for law enforcers - the presumption of innocence!"
Even though the other party was at a loss and didn't seem to know this, although it didn't matter much to me, seeing the law enforcers here doing this nonsense, the inexplicable unhappiness still made me straighten my face.
"Click!"
To my surprise, it was Shirley who directly shredded the tax audit document, and when she tore it up, it was sprinkled instantly, and the next moment, there were shredded papers all over the ground.
"I'm not going to threaten you, I just want to ask one thing. Please be honest with me. ”
"What's the matter?"
Since it took a busy day to scratch my sore foot, it will certainly not be a trivial matter to ask, but it is a priority
"Why are you still stunned, don't you help me destroy the evidence and reinstall the warehouse for me! Also, disrupt the order of loading, redo the ledger, and then give me the handle to be caught, and the fine will be deducted from your wages. ”
Well, first avoid being caught next time with the same sore foot, deal with the aftermath first, as for Shirley's disdainful eyes, ignore it, and then
"Since you asked so sincerely, I'll listen to you."
After hesitating for a long time, Shirley gritted her teeth, and finally, she asked.
"Are you my own grandfather?"
"Poof!"
The tea in the mouths of the onlookers turned into a fountain, and even the dead cat knocked over her milk basin, and I was even more frightened. ――
Due to the shocking revelations of a certain female mage, everyone turned on their backs for a while, and by the time the room was cleared, it was already ten minutes later, and in the process, my mind was blank.
"I'm going, I'm being approached for alimony? Or was it blackmailed? Suddenly being hugged and shouting at his father? I didn't participate in any elections, this plot is not right, I don't even have a wife, why did I jump out of a granddaughter. ”
Shirley. Ailan, a human (at least in appearance), gold level, specific age unknown, wild mage was born, specializing in prophecy and rune spells, if you only look at the information, there is no special background, when you come to this city of mages, you are already a silver level mage, it should be regarded as a typical self-reliant mage.
I don't think a woman like her would need to "confess a thief as a father." Use this kind of thing to pull the relationship. Opposite. When she asked that, she had a disgusting expression that seemed to say, "How could my relatives be this person", and it is still fresh in people's minds.
And soon, her explanation became even more difficult to let go.
According to her birthplace, she is a Baier, but in reality she was born as an orphan and was taught magic by a dragon. Later, she worked as an adventurer in the country of Bair, and during the time when Oros was an official mage, a large number of adventure groups were forcibly absorbed, and she finally chose to leave
"It seems that the official mage of Bayer was more than twenty years ago, so Ms. Shirley has at least four!"
is worthy of being my disciple, that is, he is keen, and he immediately found the point that I also care about, and he preemptively said it, but it seems that Shirley's actions are also very fast. That kick hit the opponent's ankle, fast and accurate. It hurts to look at it, making people wonder if she is still a part-time warrior monk.
Looking at the unlucky guy Cohen who was screaming in pain by stepping on his toes and covering his feet in pain, I secretly congratulated myself that I was fortunate that my mouth was a step slower, and then sighed that this kid is still not sophisticated enough, and even if he has doubts, he can't say it to his face, isn't this death.
"Even a female mage is also a woman, the topic of age, I didn't see that I never talked to Heloise and Amira about it, it was a suicide path. By the way, Amira should still be in three digits, if the princess of the Elf Empire is in five digits, poof, it's really old, it hurts! Dead cat, don't scratch it! Suffered, died! I forgot about the psychological link! ”
This time it wasn't the slapstick bite of the past, the claws were still metalized, Heloise didn't show the slightest mercy in her mouth, felt the hot pain in her nose, looked in the mirror at the extra eight paws on her face, and the dead cat on her head that was still unyielding, made me start to seriously consider how to meet people tomorrow, or maybe it was time to make a cat skin bib.
"When I was sensible, I was raised by the three-headed dragon, and she taught me a qiē, but she never told me who I was or whether I still had relatives."
Seeming to have lost her patience for idle rambling, Shirley went straight to her past.
"Three-headed dragon? Raising you? It's almost epic. You're in luck. ”
"Do you believe it? I later told people that they didn't believe it, that there was a three-headed dragon in the world, that I only saw it in a dream. Obviously, Yiwenli is a zài. In a sense, she is my mother! ”
This name, which I saw not long ago, made me instinctively restrain my disapproving attitude and luck, and the cool air rising from my back made me uncomfortable, and the premonition called misfortune was always extremely effective, this time, I'm afraid there was really trouble.
"I'm a Destiny Maker"
As soon as Shirley just spoke, everyone nearby instinctively took a step back, and Shirley, who smiled bitterly, shook her head helplessly, it seemed that she was used to this kind of treatment, it wasn't that my group of bastards were too timid, but the reputation of this profession was really a bit scary.
The encounter with the astrological tower has verified that the prophecy is completely unreliable, and changing fate will only suffer greater misfortune, which is the basic rule revealed by the god of fate to mortals, but as a mage who is not afraid of heaven and earth, how can he succumb to fate, so this exceptionally special advanced profession was born.
As a high-level profession above the gold level, its advanced requirements are basically zero, well, as long as a mage reaches the peak of silver, he can advance, but there has always been a saying about the success rate of advancement, this advanced profession is not without requirements, it is that it has chosen those who can be advanced from the beginning, anyway, it is impossible for those who are not selected to successfully advance, and there is no need to put forward additional requirements at all.
This class is so rare that there will not be more than ten in the entire continent, and it is rightfully regarded as the darling of the god of fate, Katilo.
The Weaver of Destiny is not a powerful combat class and does not provide any assistance in casting spells, but it has two basic abilities, the first is to see through the future and past of an object, and the other is to change its future fate.
However, since changing fate will only get worse, and even if the Destiny Weaver uses his abilities out of kindness, such as trying to change someone's imminent death, it will only make their death worse, so this class has another nickname - Summoner of Doom.
In a sense, this profession is really ruthless to see who is unlucky, who is pregnant and who is more unlucky.
"Our abilities are not as magical as the legends, and the prophecy abilities are not as magical as in ancient times, even if I use the 'Destiny Gaze' with all my might, I can probably see what is about to happen to a dead thing within a minute, not so much a prophecy as a deduction and prediction. And our ability to 'weave a thread of destiny' can only bring negative consequences, so we generally don't use it. ”
I have also done some research on prophecy and fate magic (although I have nothing to gain), I still know the basic common sense, stargazers often trip over the stones under their feet, and the more things they have to do with themselves, the more difficult it is to predict, but this profession is definitely not easy to mess with but it is recognized, and it is definitely not as chicken as she said, after all, the second 'mold god' Ain on the natural disaster list is the most famous fate weaver in the world.
And after the god of fate, Katilo, used that god-level forbidden spell and turned his divine power into a skynet that covered the entire plane, the thread of fate should have been in a mess, and the prophecy spells should not be used, perhaps, we can rest assured.
"Direct prophecy spells can't be used, maybe we are indeed the darlings of the god of fate. Now we can actually borrow the power of fate on the network of divine power, my power is much stronger than before, although it is still very difficult to predict living creatures, but it is simple to summon doom for it, anyway, it is enough to change the line of fate. ”
Well, this time, even I ran away if I wanted to.
"The gift of Catiro is the favor of the god of fate, who allows us to cross all restrictions and ask him directly for an answer, but only once in a lifetime."
After a pause, her tone was a little strange, looking at me with an unnatural expression, and finally there was more anticipation in her eyes.
"When I was most confused, I used this gift, 'Where are my relatives?' and he told me, 'The Tower of the Clouds Waiting for the Lord of the Night'. Your Highness Roland, are you my grandfather? ”
"No, I'm your Imyourfather!"
Then everyone was dumbfounded, and I just wanted to laugh proudly, but the sudden black ominous gathering in front of me reminded me of the identity of the person in front of me, and it seemed that I had gotten rid of it?
"Don't take it seriously, just kidding, this one meme! A hilarious meme! Have you seen Star Wars?! Highly recommended! It's wonderful, and I especially like this line. ”
Well, the death bite of a dead cat and the experience of almost choking to death in cold water for three days in a row made me know that some jokes still can't be made. (To be continued......)
