The fat man slammed the book in his hand that recorded the bill of supplies on the table. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first, what catches your eye is a dense row of numbers, which makes people think it is a magic spell at a glance?
If you look at it a little closely, terms like "eighty catties of starlight grass, thousands of gold coins" are completely a bill, but this man seems to like to buy some worthless herbs, which are a bit like herbs that fat people are familiar with.
There is a divine bottle of water from the Holy See in this world, the effect is extraordinary, suppressing the development of other pharmaceutical industries, things like herbs are really not worth a few gold coins in this world, just like the "Starlight Grass" mentioned in this book is the most common medicine for treating colds and colds, and it is also a big handful in the barren mountains and mountains, and a few thousand gold coins can buy eighty catties.
How much weight does the starlight grass have? A small grass more than ten centimeters high, whether it weighs a gram or not, a fat person feels mysterious, and if you squeeze and press the eighty catties of starlight grass, it can almost fill a large room.
The fat man had just smashed the books out, and immediately picked them up again.
He was going to study the bill-like book.
Who dictates bills only to be billed?
Ordinary people look at this kind of thing as a pure digital record, and the amount of gold coins on the page is dazzling, so that ordinary people can't imagine more clues. And the fat man is different, he feels that this bill is a bit boring.
First of all, this is a bill placed in a special place on the stargazing platform, which is seventy or eighty years old. Something like a bill, a careful person can know the flow of some materials from it, such as the basic situation of the establishment of the Witch Academy, maybe it can be reflected in this digital bill. Secondly, the fat man just discovered "eighty catties of starlight grass", which shows that "this man" has a deep relationship with things like herbs, and he is dealing with these things that are not noticed by ordinary people.
Everyone will be curious, there is a god bottle of water, what do you want herbs to do?
Indeed, it can be explained that the witches are too poor to afford the water bottle, or that the Holy See does not sell the water to the witches at all. But the fat man thought to himself: It seems that witches have the magical power of witchcraft, so they don't get sick, right? Even if they are sick, they can heal themselves, and they don't need a lot of herbs, right?
The answer is all in this unremarkable bill!
The fat man opened the bill book, and then casually flipped through the other two books, almost all of which were bills. He decided to take a good look at the three books to see if there were any special materials related to the establishment of Hogwarts House, from which the fat man could draw a lot of conclusions about witchcraft cultivation. The most important thing is: how did this observatory come to be, and what are the mysteries of this observatory?
I wonder if I can find anything out of it?
The fat man completely forgot the shadow in his heart caused by what had happened at the staircase before, and as he flipped through the book, his mind was suddenly filled with the names of the herbs and the amount of gold coins.
The fat man kept flipping through the three books in front of him, quickly looking at the dazzling array of digital amounts, and before he knew it, it was already evening.
He sat in the sheepskin blanket chair and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling glass: the familiar crimson purple sky and pink girl-facing clouds had to be said to be a really special scene, like a fairy tale world.
I don't know what kind of witchcraft it is, but the glass of the ceiling emits a soft yellow glow, making the whole room look warm and lively.
The fat man stared blankly at the sunset outside the window, thinking about the contents of these three books.
Two of them are related to all kinds of herbs, and the fat man is sure that "this man" is a pharmacist or something. In the era of the flood of divine bottle water, the pharmacist could not even guarantee food and clothing. This man actually used so many gold coins to buy a huge amount of various herbs, and he didn't know what he had done with these herbs.
The other is a series of accounts from the establishment of the Witch Academy to the next thirty years, all kinds of mining and mining, as well as taxes on the empire. This book is a bit rewarding after the fat man reads it in his "way".
Hogwarts House is now a tax-exempt place, and the Clotty royal family has given Hogwarts full privileges and an annual grant to Hogwarts, but this was not the case before.
When Hogwarts was first founded, it had to pay taxes to the state every year, and the amount was not small. Not in proportion to the amount Hogwarts receives each year, but as a fixed expense. The amount of this expenditure is very large, around five or six million gold coins per year!
Do witches have that much money?
No!
Then it can only be that this man posted the money upside down, where does his money come from?
This account is also well documented! The man's income was mainly based on some workshops. The fat man thought that these workshops were not selling the herbs he had processed, but after looking at the accounts for a long time, he found that these workshops seemed to have all kinds of novelties.
These novelties seem to have been very popular with all kinds of people, from the aristocracy to the poor, such as the sentence mentioned in the accounts: "The glowing helmet was sold for 3,000 pieces in June 334 AD, and the cost of a single piece was 80 gold coins, and the profit of a single piece was 920 gold coins."
A helmet that glows green?
The fat man thought evilly, while analyzing: these gadgets are very cheap, but because of their unique shape, they are popular with some special groups, and this luminous helmet alone has sold 3,000 pieces, and the new force must be the children of the nobility. The children of the aristocracy like these props that have no practical use, but they look very stylish.
This man is also a business wizard who has single-handedly paid almost all the fees for the lease of Hogwarts House and has also fed all the witches!
Anyway, the fat man rummaged through the accounts, and he couldn't find a clue about the whereabouts of the herbs.
He ate these herbs?
Could it be that he thinks he is too good to die like that, looking for a prescription for immortality?
The fat man leaned his head on the stone table, watching the dim light shine on the stone table, thinking about the cause and effect.
He lifted his eyelids and saw that there were already stars outside the glass window, and those starlights reflected in his eyes were as cute as naughty elves, "Damn Vivien and the other witches didn't know I was trapped in this place, and didn't think to come to me?"
When the fat man said this, a strange feeling came over him, and he felt that the atmosphere was a little ...... Uncanny?
He looked back sharply, except for the staircase, which was made of stone and a wooden door, and the rest of the place was covered with floor-to-ceiling glass, which was unobstructed.
Anyway, no one came to save him, so the fat man decided to get up and go to the ceiling to see what stars this observatory was going to look at, ironically, in his previous life and in this life, he had never looked at the distant sea of stars with the help of his glasses.
Suddenly, the light source on the ceiling went on and off for a moment.
This frightened the fat man, who looked up nervously and didn't find anything unusual.
"It's strange to say, what kind of power can this light keep it bright for hundreds of years? Don't tell me it's solar ......," the fat man muttered to himself, feeling more and more that something was wrong with this place.
I always feel ...... Do you always feel like there's something staring at you?
The fat man finally knew why he always felt wrong, at first he felt that there was a force at the staircase and was strange, but now he knew where these strange things came from, as if something was watching his every move.
The fat man looked back sharply!
