Ray frowned, thinking hard as he muttered to himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"At first glance, it's not uncommon for a failed investment to result in a number of families losing a lot of money and thus incurring huge debts. But...... To persuade a man like the Knight of Parn, who has been settled for many years, to join the voyage, there must be plenty of certainty, after all, for them, even if it is seventy percent sure—no, even if it is eighty percent sure, they will not take the risk! They all have families and careers, and there is absolutely no reason to risk their lives to become rich!"

"But...... What's the problem? The merchant who was not by the sea, but was still a merchant in the ocean trade? It is not difficult to understand that perhaps he had quietly connected with the city of Gars. Businessmen are profit-seeking, as long as they can make money, even if they go to the ocean. Moreover, this time he is opening up trade routes, and if he recruits partners in a seaside port city, he will easily get into trouble. ”

"So, is it his behavior of pulling a lot of shareholders, but also privately borrowing a large amount of debt? No, that's normal, since it is a voyage trade with nine out of ten certainty, and it is the most lucrative first transaction, of course, the more principal, the better, and it is not normal to not borrow!"

"Or is the problem with the presiding priest of the Church of the Honourable Ladies? His performance was normal...... In order to spy on his opponent and to make a profit, he also bought a large amount of goods and put them on the ship, and then when he encountered Timsall, he also fought to the death. There was nothing unusual in the whole process, and there were no suspicions. The only thing that makes people suspicious is that where did the church get so much money? After he bought a large number of goods, he could still borrow a large amount of money? But it is not so strange that the noble lady church relies on many big nobles behind it, and there are huge sums of money...... Perhaps it was because of the huge loan that the priest came aboard the ship, wanting to supervise the process of the business with his own eyes......"

“...... Something must be wrong!"

Lei pondered for a long time, but after all, he couldn't find the key to the problem, and finally he could only ask Sui Xiong for help.

After dinner, they said goodbye to Mrs. Teague, Liv, and Ness, and went to the inn to rest. Steele sneaked away to nowhere, while Ray and Sui Xiong discussed.

"There must be something wrong with this!" said Ray, "and although I can't find out what the problem is, I can smell the conspiracy with my nose!"

"That's right, something is wrong!" Sui Xiong also nodded repeatedly, "Knights of Pahn, they have no reason to go to sea at all, and they are not short of money!"

"If you think about it, they are actually short of money. Ray said, "The Church of the Pioneers (another name for the Knights and the God of Pioneering) is fighting against the Church of the Noble Ladies, and it will definitely take money, and a lot of money. The knights of Parn are not rich, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to support them in a few years. Now that they see a safe opportunity to make a lot of money, of course they will not let it go. ”

“...... It is also true, and through this voyage, their social relations can also be strengthened, as long as the risk is not large, it is nothing more than a year or so. ”

"Well, because the chief priest of the Noble Lady Church also followed the boat, so they don't have to worry about being taken advantage of during this time. And the reason why the main priest got on the boat is also very good, and there is nothing wrong with it. Lei pondered for a long time, and finally had nothing to do, "Your Majesty, you can just use magic to see." ”

"Magic? No magic can detect what's going on in the churches of other gods. Sui Xiong thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Only certain gods with priesthoods such as 'conspiracy' and 'spy' have such special spells. ”

"Isn't there a spell that invites an unknown strange being to answer a question......?"

"Oh, you said that set of spells. I don't think it will be useful, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Inspired Sui Xiong began to prepare the spell, and a moment later, with a black smoke and a cold and evil aura, a terrifying grimace appeared in front of them, staring at them with a cold gaze that made the bone marrow freeze.

Ray was a little creepy by it, and hurriedly asked the question: "Please answer my question, is there a conspiracy behind the death of Knight Parn?"

The grimace's expression became a little dazed, and it was using its natural ability to peer into the river of fate to find the answer to this question.

But before it could find an answer, its face suddenly turned terrified, and then the grimace twisted and deformed, and with a terrible scream, it exploded into a cloud of smoke. Then all the smoke and cold spun and threw itself into a whirlpool that appeared in the air, and disappeared without a trace along with the whirlpool in a moment.

“...... What's going on?" Ray asked, taken aback, confused.

"Something powerful has come to your senses. Sui Xiong easily sensed the problem, "It's just that I'm not sure if he pre-set a spell lock so that all spells that search for related content will automatically trigger, or did he set an alarm and do it himself once the alarm is triggered?"

Ray was silent for a moment and asked, "How strong is he?"

"It's hard to say, if it's the former, it's just too strong. Sui Xiong said, "Even if it is the latter, the strength is not trivial." ”

"How does it compare to you?"

"No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as I don't rush into other worlds, and I don't use means such as fate to fight against him, I am not afraid of any enemy in the regular battle of the world. ”

Ray thought for a long time, but finally shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Alas, even if you want to continue the investigation, there is no clue!" he said helplessly, "If you can't find a clue, no one can do anything!"

Sui Xiong also sighed, the gods are not omnipotent.

After a while, Ray said, "Your Majesty, the Knight of Parn is gone, are you still going to find a lord for the holy land that is being built?"

"Of course. It's just that I haven't figured out who to find yet. Sui Xiong said, "It is not so easy to find a government talent who is capable, has a good character, and has no conflict with me in terms of faith." ”

"I know a few people, maybe I can try. "Although I haven't been in contact with them for a long time, their abilities are certain, and their beliefs are ...... It shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that I'm not sure what their character is now, after all, people change. ”

"If there's hope, it's worth trying, where do they live?"

"The capital of the Eagle Kingdom, Eagle Wing City. "At least fifteen years ago, they should have been in Eagle Wings." I haven't heard from them in all these years, and I guess they all live in Eagle Wing City. ”

"That's good. Sui Xiong nodded and finalized his intention first.

But the next morning, after a night of thinking, he changed his mind again.

"This matter can't just be left at that!" he said categorically, "a group of good people led by the Knight of Parn have died an unknown death, and their families are still being oppressed, and since this kind of thing has happened to me, there is no reason for me to let it go!"

"So...... Shall we help them pay off their debts?" Ray asked, after a moment's thought.

"I always feel that it is not refreshing enough......"

"Things have to be done step by step, and we will help them solve the problems in front of them first. "What's more," said Ray...... If there is really a conspiracy behind this matter, then we mention that they have repaid their debts, which is to sabotage the follow-up plan of the mastermind behind the scenes, and they will definitely come to us for trouble. When the time comes, won't the clues be sent to the door?"

Sui Xiong nodded again and again, admiring.

Ray's vision and scheming are indeed good, if it weren't for the fact that he obviously has no interest in being a lord, maybe it would be a good choice for him to be the lord of his holy land.

With Sui Xiong's encouragement, Lei became more and more positive, and after some consideration, he made some plans, which must be to stimulate those behind the scenes, make them lose their cool and jump out by themselves.

A few hours later, they visited the home of the Knight of Parn again. Today Liv is out, and only Mrs. Teague and Little Nice are at home.

They were shocked to learn that Mr. Ray had contacted the lord through magic, and that the lord had offered to help those in distress pay off their debts.

"Yes...... But that's a staggering number!" Mrs. Tigue was so surprised that she even stammered a little.

"Approximately?" asked Ray.

"My sister has calculated the accounts, and there are ...... in total," Ness tilted her little head, thought for a while, and said a number that would scare even the wealthier families, "Ah! How should the interest be calculated?" I won't ......."

This amount did not exceed Lei's expectations, he smiled slightly, and said gently: "Don't worry, even if you add interest, it won't be a big problem." I'm going to go and raise some money, and when Miss Liv comes back to-day, I'll ask her and her friends to gather here tomorrow, and we'll talk about it in detail, how about we?"

"No problem!" replied Mrs. Teague at once, but she said worriedly, "but...... That's not a small amount! The tax at our disposal in Jinta City is only more than 2,000 gold coins a year......

"That's because most of the various operations of the aristocracy are not taxed. Ray smiled and said, "Don't worry, our lord is a nouveau riche, which is indeed not a small amount, but for him, it is nothing more than a matter of baring his teeth and grinning." ”

As he spoke, he made a grinning motion that made little Niss laugh.

Once the matter was settled, Ray took his leave and left. He woke up and was still asleep, and the red flames on the back of his hands had exploded seven times overnight, and Steele, who was almost about to turn into a pig, went to several shops in the city that mainly sold monster materials, used all the cash and gems, and bought as many monster materials as possible at a low price.

Thanks to the blessing of the Church of the God of Nobles to suppress the monster material trading market during this time, the price of such things in Jinta City is indeed low, and they can easily acquire a large number of materials, as long as they go to other cities, even if they sell them at a lower price, they will make some money.

But how could Sui Xiong be satisfied with selling at a low price? After leaving the city, he left behind Lei Dang's coordinates, cast a teleportation spell, and jumped almost half a continent with Steele in one go, returned to the Gelten Territory, and came to the side of the "Black Blade" Walr.

Since the last accident, Sui Xiong has put a lot of effort into teleportation. During this time, he had succeeded in identifying several devout followers as the coordinates of the teleportation. Although limited to the teleportation technique itself, it can only teleport smaller and weaker clones, and cannot teleport overly powerful and too large bodies, but it is enough to use it only for delivery.

They went straight to the lord and showed the monster materials. Orian immediately gathered several of the big nobles and big merchants in the territory to discuss the plan of making a fortune together.

After several hours of discussion or quarrel, the batch of materials was finally sold for a fairly good price, and the nobles and wealthy businessmen involved in the transaction were also smiling one by one, and everyone was satisfied.

When Sui Xiong and Steele returned to the outside of the Golden Pagoda City to join Ray, who was boredly tossing the bronze-crowned wyvern and trying to train it as a mount, the space bag was already full of gold coins and gems.

The proceeds of this business alone are worth several times the debt!
