Chapter 264: Timber Procurement Turmoil
"Hey, you two don't play dumb riddles, what the hell are we going to do about this?"
Bloom asked on behalf of the others, still confused.
"Don't worry, you'll know the answer soon. ”
Alan smiled and comforted.
"Then the mercenary union will investigate, what should I say?"
Bloom said as he grabbed his hair, he couldn't guess what Allen was going to do, and he was worried that something would go wrong.
"Don't worry, the mercenary union will come and say that the timber procurement of the barracks is all handled by the trade shop, and they will come to me if there is anything. ”
Kevin bra said with confidence.
Early the next morning, the officials of the Mercenary Guild went to the station of the Longyin Mercenary Regiment to investigate the purchase of timber.
"Our leader, Archmage Kanter, has entrusted the matter of purchasing timber to the trading shop, and I don't know why the trade shop is so close and far away from outside the city-state, I am just a worker. ”
Bloom pretended to be very innocent.
The mercenary guild officials couldn't get any more useful information out of Bloom's mouth, so they turned around and went to the Sheriff's Office. That afternoon, Kevin, who was busy in the store, was taken away by someone from the Sheriff's Department. However, this time they did not dare to detain Kevin, but after a brief interrogation, they released Kevin.
Three days later, in the sheriff's office, Quentin took the investigation report compiled by his subordinates, not only did not have any joy, but frowned tightly.
In fact, Quentin was behind the whole thing, and at the appointment meeting of Chief Mage Allen, he instigated Burns to cause trouble, and Burns brought shame on himself. However, he did not give up causing trouble for Allen, and secretly arranged for people to keep an eye on the every move of Allen and the people around him. Eren spends most of his time at home alchemy, and the rest of the people around him are either busy with the trade shop or the training of recruits, and they don't have any grip at all. Just when he was about to give up hope, Walker, the leader of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, suddenly ran to his official office to chat with him, and the topic of chatting between the two naturally shifted to the Dragon Yin Mercenary Group that was being formed. Walker mentioned that the Dragonbard Mercenary Group has recently purchased a large amount of wood for camp construction and training, but strangely enough, in an area rich in timber, this batch of timber Dragonbard Mercenary Group was actually purchased from outside.
Walker's seemingly casual words immediately alerted Quentin, and he was keenly aware of the abnormality of this matter, so he immediately asked his subordinates to report it to the mercenary union.
The mercenary union officials who received the report were in a dilemma. Investigate, the object is the newly appointed chief archmage, and it's not easy to mess with. Don't investigate, the whistleblower is the Public Security Department, and it's not a good stubble. So in the end, they simply put the report letter on Holancest's desk and let the president decide for himself. Originally, the officials of the mercenary union thought that Holland would laugh it when he saw it, but he didn't expect Hollander's handwritten instructions to be investigated. So they didn't dare to slack off, and sent the most iron-faced and selfless investigation officials to investigate the matter, and in the process of investigation, it was found that the matter involved a trading store outside the mercenary group, so the security department was also involved. Sheriff Quentin was the initiator of the incident, and of course he cooperated vigorously, and the investigation process went very smoothly, and all the people under investigation, including Bloom and Kevin, were very cooperative, and Kevin himself admitted that he was the one who made the initiative to hand over the timber business to business partners outside the city-state.
Of course, Quentin didn't give up, Kevin was Allen's hardcore, and he must be taking the blame for Allen and continuing to investigate the timber merchant outside. Now he had in his hand the report of the timber merchant's investigation, but he was dumbfounded when he read it. The caravan in charge of transporting the timber told the people of the Sheriff's Department that they had been entrusted by a large timber merchant surnamed Borg to transport the timber to the ancient city of Aogu, and that the merchant surnamed Borg was none other than Kevin Borg's father. So the end result of the whole thing is that Kevin took advantage of his position to seek benefits for his family. Kevin's approach of taking care of his family business is understandable, but his face is not so good-looking.
This result disappointed Quentin, he originally thought that he could find out the evidence of Allen's personal enrichment and even collusion with outside forces, but he didn't expect that this matter not only had nothing to do with Allen, but also the nature of the behavior was not very serious.
Helpless, Quentin submitted the report, and was soon summoned by Holancet, who was worried that what he was waiting for would be a reprimand from Holland, but he didn't expect Hollander not only not to blame him, but instead encouraged him in person, praising him for being serious and diligent, and making persistent efforts. He was still a little confused about the situation at the time, but when he left the castle and returned to the official office, his head was blown by the wind on the way, and he suddenly became enlightened, and the lord clearly encouraged him to continue to secretly supervise Allen's every move. What does this mean? It shows that Hollanster is not at ease with Allen at all, and as long as he seizes the opportunity, he can take down him, the youngest chief archmage in history, or even put him to death. Since then, Quentin has unscrupulously launched an all-round surveillance of Allen, not even giving up a little clue, and the hard work pays off, after a long time, he really seized an opportunity and put Allen in a situation of nine deaths, of course, that is a later story.
The day after the results of the investigation came out, before the mercenary union could say anything, Alan had already taken the initiative to find the mercenary union.
"My name is Alan Kanter, and I've got your head in charge to come out to me. ”
When Alan reported his name, the clerk in charge of the reception immediately realized that the young man in front of him was the chief mage who had just been in office for a few months, and he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to the back to report the news.
The real head of the Mercenary Guild is Horanster, but he has always been in the castle, and the person in charge of the office is actually the vice president.
"How's the investigation going?"
After meeting the vice president, Alan didn't talk nonsense and asked straight to the point.
"Master Mage, everything has been investigated, this matter has nothing to do with the mercenary group and Master Mage, it is all the result of Kevin Borg, the operator of the trade shop..."
The Vice President carefully considered the wording.
"Kevin's responsibility? no, no... You must be mistaken, I'm not only the mercenary captain, but also the trade shop, so I can't take the turn of the people below to carry this pot for me. ”
Alan sneered and interrupted the vice president's conclusion.
