Riva Cook's Diary:

It's been more than a year, and there is still no news from my father. I believe that maybe my father is really dead. Now, in the kingdom of Ahmad, I have to live on my own. Fortunately, the Orzhov Consortium has paid for my living expenses for more than a year, however, I don't want to rely on the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce anymore - there is no one in this world who can be relied on except myself. Originally, my father was my support, but my father is gone, even if I try all my hard work and dignity, I have to live well.

Judging by the urgent letter my father sent me, I believe that my father was involved in a terrible conspiracy. I don't know how big the conspiracy is, but I believe that my father only got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg - and that would have killed him.

I'm alone, with no partners, no money, and there's no way I'm going to find out about my father's death. Therefore, I had to survive first in the kingdom of Ahmad. I didn't have any other skills, but I was able to learn math and literacy with my father. Father, I will inherit your talent for business, and I will form my own chamber of commerce. Of course, it may take a long time, but in the last year I have learned Alhammad almost, and I should start as a small merchant and gradually build my own caravans and chambers of commerce.

Orzhov's support is not unrequited, and I've heard some secrets. Therefore, I intend to pay Orzhov's debts first. However, I will not settle the relationship with Orzhov for the time being, sometimes owing money is also a relationship, and once the debt is paid off, it means that the relationship is broken. I wouldn't be stupid like that, and neither would Orzhov.

Some time ago, I bought a batch of Ahmad specials at a low price, and these are all in-demand goods. Due to the trade treaty between the Kingdom of Ahmad and the Holy Falcon Empire, I plan to ship this shipment to Zanmir. The shipment included three Desert Stars, two barrels of Ahmad Specialty Dessert Wine, three crates of sand dates, and some daily necessities to accompany them. The main thing is that I found a special kind of ore, which is mediocre or even unsightly, but when ground it becomes shiny. In addition, they emit a special brilliance, and at night when water is poured on them, they make a bell-like sound, and lightning jumps back and forth between them.

I'm going to make a trip to Falkenridge after selling the rest of the goods, where the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy is located, and the amazing witches and wizards recognize their value, and I trust my eyesight. To do this, I had to exchange some silver wolves - the kingdom of Hahammad used small triangular coins such as Karel, which were metal coins that were not as valuable as the Silver Wolves of the Holy Falcon Empire, but were worth much more than copper coins.

I found the calrell to be a very advantageous currency, and its value differed in its silver content. This kind of coin of the Ahmad Kingdom has a face value on it, and the larger the face value, the higher the silver content, and the largest face value is equivalent to the silver wolf of the Holy Falcon Empire, and even a little higher in value.

That's one of the reasons why I chose Zanmir. The area immediately adjacent to the Terror Mountains in Zamir has a large silver mine, so the Holy Falcon Empire Silver Wolf minted by Zamir has a higher silver content. A Holy Falcon Empire Silver Wolf from Zanmir is generally 3 Kalel higher than Silver Wolves minted in other regions in cross-border trade, and even 5 Kalel higher than the Targanis Silver Wolf.

"Miss Dundee, you have been learning the Falkenridge accent and court etiquette for more than a year, and I have to say that although you are not the fastest, you are not slow, especially your Zanmir accent and the mixed accent of Doro Chinese are particularly difficult to change, but you still overcome. I think we can start the next phase of training. Codename "Green" said to Susan Dundees.

"Ma'am," said Susan, standing behind the counter of the jewelry store, in a very standard court etiquette toward the "green" lady. She gently rubbed her bracelet with her left hand a little crampedly: "What do I need to train next?" ”

"Let's start simple! I'll have a teacher teach you how to look at people. Verdant said lightly.

"Look at people? Do people still need to watch it? Susan didn't quite understand, and although she was shrewd, she was still immature.

"Of course, good girl. This is a skill necessary to become an assassin and killer. Think about it, if you don't know how to read people, then how do you determine your goals? Cang Cui said as she tapped her fingers lightly on the counter.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I still don't quite understand." Susan asked solemnly.

"Let me give you an example, the target will sometimes use magic or props or even disguise and makeup to hide themselves, and then you need to use your eyes to determine who this person is down. At this stage, you will frequently change your work location, and there will be teachers from all walks of life to teach you, I hope you can stick to it and learn this skill, just start with your current job. First of all, let me introduce you to one person, "Qing Lan", Miss Dundee has been your student for a few months. "Verdant called for a woman.

Susan didn't even see how this woman got to her, and even if this woman was standing in front of her eyes like this, she couldn't feel it, as if this person didn't exist.

"Hello Miss Dundee, my name doesn't mean anything, but you can call me Teacher or call me by my code name 'Qinglan', and I'll teach you the art of hiding your aura and observing your words. The woman, codenamed "Qinglan", said that her voice was ethereal, and Susan instinctively felt as if she liked the tone and tone of the woman's voice, but when she went after the owner of the voice, she quickly forgot her vocal characteristics.

"Qinglan, Miss Dundee's to you, I've been a little busy these past few months, I have found a wonderful girl in the Simic, she has the qualifications to be a scholar, I have to fulfill my responsibilities as an Simic scholar, and I am very interested in the research ideas of that little girl, and I have to deal with it from the royal family. After all, it's gratifying to see the country get better, and we all want to see the development and progress of Aisha's world - except for the blazing gods of the church, who are really a bunch of old-fashioned and stubborn old-fashioned people, and one day, our country and even Aisha will change dramatically due to religious issues. Cang Cui said worriedly.

"Goodbye, Madam Verdant, Miss Dundee, here you can rest assured. The woman codenamed "Qinglan" waved her hand, and the verdant disappeared like a gust of wind at the door of the jewelry store.

"All right, Miss Dundee. We're going to start the lessons. I will first give you a task, for every guest of the jewelry house, I ask you to tell me about their occupation and social status after the guest leaves. I'm a very strict person, and when you say something wrong, I'll whip the back of your hand with a branch, but I'll point out your mistake when you're done. Start today. Qinglan said sternly.

Susan pursed her lips, her hand unconsciously worried.
